odious epithet of quackery. But DR..

fession. The editor can conscientiously
and cordially recommend the medicine
because he knows he has found. great BEN

years he has suffered from arrangement
of the stomach. And though the disease
has become chronic, he has already OBJ
tanned great relief from this remedy.
A physician left at death a large vol

On being opened, it was found to contain
only this simple advice: keep your

They have valuable medicine, and they
know how to bring it to the knowledge of
public by judicious advertising. We are
happy to give them our hearty endorse
ment, and bid them God speed in reliev-
ing the ills to which flesh is heir.

promised, there would be no trouble in
Louisiana to now record The facts in the

he filled the same, and the question now ID
| whether what the State Executive holds To
| be the Board is the Board. As will be

which the Federal judiciary has rightfully
nothing whatever to do, but by bold and
naked impertinenee, Durell, sort of Loui,
the United States Circuit Court iudgeship,
assumes to invalidate the Board, and or.
ders the Federal Marshal to seize upon the
State House so that there may be no ges,
sion OF the body therein The marshal
| calls upon the military, and troops are
forthwith quartered in the Senate chamber,
hall OF the House of Representatives and
Governor s room. In other words. the
Federal Judiciary has ordered the State
Government OF Louisiana to be overthrow
at the point of the bayonet, and the order
has been obeyed.
The reader will bear in mind that the
point in issue is whether what the Cover

the State Returning Board The whole
body OF United States law goes for moth
ing If this is not State question, to be de-
cided by and in the State. Time and
again the Supreme Court of the United
States has refused, itself, and forbidden its
subordinate tribunals to entertain cues
ton of this kind Who is or who is not a
Governor, what is or is not State gov
eminent, whether these men are a State
board or those men, are questions it has
always dismissed as political, and fit.
therefore only for the political and not the
judicial branch 1t refused on this ground
to go into the question of conflicting State
governments in the Dorr rebellion case in
Rhode Island, and still more recently
craWled out OF an opinion on the recon
structlon acts by saying that the rise or
fall, the validity or invalidity of State gov
ernments or officials were matters out Of It's
province and resting within the political
power alone. Give them an admitted
State government and they would take
cognizance Of suits growing out of its pr
ceedings; give them admitted officials and
their action they would review; but onlv
this and nothing more Judge Dureil
spurns all this. He plunges headlong into
the forbidden ground, says this man is a
State officer and that man is not, and
finally orders out regiment of infantry to
debar from the State House a Governor
whose title is not questioned by any one at

The report of Mrs. Joaquin Miller
lecture, in the San Francisco papers,
fulfills the promise of her letter publish
ed some months ago, in which, speaking
of her husband, she said the world might
" know him by his epic heroes Kit
Carson ct al. The lecture is keenly
satirical and merciless in the exposure
of the poets selfshness, heartlessness
aud absurd foibles. She tells the story
of their courtship in a very taking way
confessing, with delicious candor, her
own folly. The poets admiration for
Lord Byron is narrated, and she tails
how he drank gin and water, cultivated
a limp, and sought to make Mary Cha
worth of a Willamette girl, all for the
sake of his idol. She also tells how the
poet cultivated sunhowers; how he i'm
posed the marks of dog-bite upon an
unsuspecting public for the scar of a
bullet-wound; how he sold the celebrated
spotted courssr," which he professed
to love so well, for $37 75; how he spelled
pity with two IT'S" how he procured
divorce in order to lend additional force
to his poem Myrrh, already written; and
how he advised her to marry some
good fellow and settle down" Mrs.
Millers lecture proves her woman of
rare talent for saying the severest things
in particularly neat way. She
stabs adroitly, and the point of the blade
finds a joint in joaquin 5 armour every
time she strikes.

A BLIND STATESMAN.
Mr.. Fawcett, the British orr


In letter from London to the New
York Mail, Justice Mccarthy says:
Mr.. Fawcett, who, as the readers of
the Mail are aware, is one Of the most
rising men in Parliament, accomplished
two or three days ago what may be
called remarkable, perhaps even an
extraordinary feat. He spoke on the
subject of the government Of our In
dian Empire, in reply to the speech Of
Mr.. Grant Duff, the Under Secretary of
State for India-spoke nearly four
hours, introducing masses of figures and
long citations from official documents
into his speech, making it in fact a great
and exhaustive statistical argument;
and all this, of course, without n note
or memorandum to assist him, for Mr..
Fawcett is blind | heard the speech,
and it was as fluent in delivery, as ex-
act in its array Of figures and quotations
as though read from book. Not once
did the speaker stumble in a sentence
or 90 back to set right an inaccurate
figure. / think this was performance
which may almost be called unparal-
leled. Few men in the House blessed
with the full use of all their senses could
have accomplished it as this blind man
did. Mr.. Fawcett is decidedly making
a remarkable way in Parliament. Per
sonally his privation seems to trouble
him but little. lie is as full Of healthy
animal spirits as school boy, and he
delights in all manly exercises. He is
fond of fishing, and even of skating; the
latter amusement he contrives to- enjoy
by holding the end of stick, while some
companion of equal skill on the ice
holds the other; aud thus the thing can
be safely done. Mr.. Fawcett's infrmity
naturally leads him into awkward pre-
dicaments sometimes. In a London
club one night when Mr.. Fawoett was
present the name Of certain wealthy
member of Parliament was mentioned.
Let us call him Mr. Thomas Panner.
Tom Panner," exclaimed Faweett, in
his loud CHEEKY voice, is a good fel-
low, but he is the most ignorant man in
the House of 0emmons The listeners
were reduced to utter and hoFrined 81
lence, for Mr.. Panner himself had just
entered the room in time to hear this

RULES AND REGULATIONS.

l. The Halls of the Exposition Building will
be open on the 5th Of October, for the recep-
tion of articles intended for the Exposition.
9. No articles of an explosive, dangerous,
or h ghly inaammable character will be ad-
mitted.
3. All articles must be registered by the Sec
retary, and should have labels attached desig-
mating the owner, agent OF manufacturer
name, place of residence, etc. Price may be
attached if owner desires.
6. Exhibitors may circulate their cards and
Advertisements upon the space assigned them,
and may erect paper or other light signs
thereon, and make such display in that way as
suits their tastes. They may have a represen-
tative in the building to show their goods and
wares by purchasing an exhibitors ticket,
which will be furnished by the Secretary at
reduced rates.
7. Articles on exhibition may be sold but
cannot be removed until the close of the Ex-
position. Each exhibitor, whose articles re-
quire it, must furnish his own tables shelving,
showcases, fixtures, ETC.. and place and ar
range the articles ON the space assigned them.
s. Dealers in paintings, chromOs, photo
graphs and pictures, and citizens who have
articles of merit in that line, are requested TO
send them TO the Exposition; all possible care
will be taken of them. The owners name
may be exposed on a card. or not as they may
prefer.
8. Ample parlors and retiring rooms will be
set apart for ladies and children. Refresh
ments can be obtained in the Building.
10. Ample steam power will be provided with
tion of machinery in motion. The driving en-
gines will be in operation one week previous
to the opening of the Exposition, and it Is
hoped all exhibitors will have their machinery
in position on the opening day, There will be
ample room. for mills, portable engines, and
heavy machinery.
IL. Insurance can be effected by owners at
reasonable rates on articles placed on exhibi-
tiOn.
l2, An ample Police force will be detailed
during the day and night, and reliable night
watchmen employed to protect the property Of
exhibitors.
l3. No premiums will be awarded by this
association, as it i believed that the opportu-
nifty for just Judgment of the public mind
upon the comparative merits and practicable
usefulness Of every article on exhibition, and
such generous rivalry as serves TO advertise
worth and merit, rather than a Jealous com
petition, which fosters bitter repriSals and ac-
rimonious partisanship in opposing jude-
ments, is thought to be far more valuable,
both 10 the invention and the inventor.

A high ola Marriage in nevada.

From the Eureka Sentinel, September 22.l
A wedding in high (Eureka) life is to
take place in few days The circum.
stances attending it render it worthy of
a notice in a well regulated family pa.
per. The gentleman is forty-one years
of age, fair blonde, and man of good
figure, who has been twice before mar
ried--once in Oregon, once in Yucstan.
His Oregon wife thinks he died while a
member of Walkers expedition, and the
wife he obtained in Yucatan supposes he
was killed in the Inyo earthquake.
They are both out of their weeds, and
may be happy yet. In the various
enterprises in which he has been inter
ested he has not accumulated large
amount Of this worlds goods, but he
brings to the task before him a world OF
good intentions. The bride is twenty
eight; has had three husbands, from two
of whom she has been divorced, and the
other one is cold corpse. She brings
to her husband some good looks-inten-
tions not explained few articles OF
household furniture, many feet OF
undeveloped mining ground, an account
of some magnitude at dry goods store,
and very positive promise to reform.
The ceremony will be performed at the
church, and all friends of both parties
will have cards delivered by Wells, Fargo
u Co, From present appearances all
will go as merry as marriage bell.

ture than would be expected in COM
munity Of scholars like that of Athens.
The number of tobacco shops is not sur
prising, in view Of the fact that every
third man is whiting cigarette. Cigars,
worthy of the name, are a rarity; but
the paper-covered substitute is the almost
inevitable accompaniment of every man s
walk, talk, or avocatioR. Little books of
cigar-paper, the tobacco-box, and brass
receptacle for ashes, are seen on the
table in every house. The Greek seems
to think that the only good thing that
can come out Of the Ottoman Empire is
Turkish tobacco. The native and
cheaper article, however, is what is
mostly consumed in the country. In
brilliant contrast to the generality of
shops are few, the show windows of
which--be it the jewelers., tailors, or
silk mercer's-almost rival those of the
Palais Royal.
