series OF years, and among most Of the races OF
men it has risen higher and higher in their estma-

character and power 10 cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat have made Il known as re-
liable protector against them. While adapted TO
milder forms OF disease and to young childrcn II IA

be given for incipient consumption, and Tie dan
Cerous affections of the throat and lungs. As pro-
vision against sudden attacks Of Group, II should
be kept on hand in every family and indeed as all
are sometimes subject 10 colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them
Although settled Consumption IS thought m
currSle, still great numbers Of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the

Good on Butler.

A rather amusing story is in eircu-
lation at the expense of Beast Butler.
AT the Presidents levee the other
night. which was densely crowded, ali
old lady from the interior somewhere,
ip fainting condition, requested her
husband to get her an ice.
"Can't be did, "fesponded "hub" in
irritation I" there amt no refresh
ments here" ef .G4sta
:; Don't believe it. Didn't we get
plenty at Belknap's the other night ?''
the good woman said angrily G now,
go and get me an ice and some lemon
ade." .asasg TedW
g / tell you now don't be fool !;
there amt no refreshments, rybody
says So" grunted the lord and master.
g You are quite mistaken, sir" said
the Hon. s. S. Cox, who happened to
be near, and who never loses an op-
portunity to put in joke. "The
President always provides substantial
ly. There is his butler, whose busi-
ness it is to show ladies to the supper
room," and the Hon. little Jester
pointed to General Butler. You'll
find him a little stuck up and cross,
but you mustn't mind that; tell him
to get you some terrapins." ttf
This was said SO gravely that the
two struggled through the crowd to
where General Butler stood talking
with some la lies.
" say, mist. 7, am told you are the
butler" said the man.
'.I am General Butler" replied Old
Strabism p easantly, thinking the two
some country people filled with ad
,,,;, bic .r,o ,tuaSo
don't care whether you are gen.
eral butler or not, but my wife wants
some terrapins and lemonade"
Sir 2" snorted old B. in amazement
and disgust.
Oh don't take on airs, old cock.
Come now, hurry up them terrapins.'
3" You must be drunk, sir; you must
be drunk !"
No he amt" screamed the wife,
" He's Knight Templar and he amt
drunk, but guess yon are"
Roars of laughter greeted this, in
which S. S. Cox was forced to join.
General Butler Redeemed i'll the face
and began putting his cheeks out in
the most violent manner.
g don't understand this extraordi-
nary conduct. What do you want,
sir-what do you want 2"
"Terripins, l fell YOU"
What do you take mo for, you
cussed fool" roared Benjamin.
/" You call mo a eussed fool and I'll
hat you on the snout," screamed the
man. srt a3i5!ts
At this juncture an officer of the po-
lice seized the beligerent husband and
led him away amid much laughter
Butler, turning suddenly saw the mis-
"I say, Cox, did you do that ~
"Well, yes, I'm afraid did,"
Well, owe the terrapins, and I'll
pay you, mind that-I'll pay YOU"
And the two walked lovingly away.

ming the President, that is the effect
of the speech made by the Senator
from Indiana. @4
Sir, am at loss to understand this
administration and its supporter.
The President recommends amnesty,
and the leader of the party in the Sem
ate denounces it in the most eloquent
terms that his fertile brain and iliven-
tive genius can suggest. The Presi-
dent recommends civil service reform
and the distinguished Senator from
Wisconsin MIR. Carpenter pours out
upon it all the vials of his wrath and
the wonderful scintillations of his wit,
and all around the Senate chamber we
find the civil service reform, though
recommended by the President and
iinaugurated by him gets the cold
shoulder from those who are looked
upon as his most particular support
ers and friends. | do not understand
this administration. If were an un-
charitable maps l should say that there
was what in Common parlance is call
cd "tbrowing tub to the whale;"
that it is promise held out to the
car to be disappointed i'll the fulfill
ment; that when the. President says,
.'Let us have civil service reform"
there is mental reservation that civil
service reform shall be killed in Con-
gross that when he says 'fLet us have
amnesty" there is a mental reserva-
tfon that leading Radicals in the SEN
ate shall kill amnesty stone dead.
Now, Mr.. President, do not charge
any such false dealing upon the Pres
ident; charge no such hypocrisy
upon him; and yet it does look won
derfallM strange that every important
recommendation he makes is ignored
by his friends in this chamber, and
the knife is put to the throat for the
purpose of drawing the life blood
from it. ag dtuk

i" "r""t-An Unexplained Mysicry.


i" Er"nt-An Umcx explained Mystery.
From the New York World, February IS.
The train which arrived from Now
York ut Lawrence, on the Camden and
Amboy railroad, ut 2:41 on Sunday
morning, carried with it upon the
cow-catchcr of tho locomotive the
body OF u NAV, whose name and the
manner Of whose death are as vet I'M
known. When the train stopped at the
station tho station-master found the
manslcd remains lying across the iron
bars OF the "cow-cAtchcr," with arms
and legs broken and stripped of both
clothing anu flesh Where the body was
picked mp by the locomotive was I'M
known, and inquiries were ut once set
on foot to identify the nun. The
pockets were searched and ticket
from West Philadelphi" to New York
WIS found, with 1856 in money, bottle
Of whisky, u letter directed to Thomp-
sons steel works, in Jersey City, intro
d1,clng ":ho bearer" rs machinist.
From the conductors punches in the
ticket it was evident that the man had
lett Philadelphia by tho last train on
Saturday night, and had ridden as FIJI
us Princeton or New Brunswick. Sub.
scqucnt inquiries confirmed this opin
ion, and showed that the man had come
from Philadelphia in company with
two Or three roughs, with whom
he drank whisky and in
obliged in fights occasionally during
tue two hours consumed in going be-
tween Philadelphia and Princeton
junction. Beyond this point he hai
been missed by the brakeman, the con
ductor being first informed of the fac
that he was missing when the train ar
rived ut New Brunswick. The mer
who had been in his company said the,
saw him jump from the train about
mile from Princeton Junction, and tina
they saw him stagger little and the,
walk away. It is now suspected tina
the passenger was pushed off the car
10y the roughs in one of their drunken
squabbles, and that he Was afterwart
struck by the locomotive of the trail
from New York. But nothing definit,
can be known until the companions O
the unfortunate man can be arrested.

Anccdote Of Henry Clay.
From the Galaxy for March.

One Of the most notable members of
of the Twenty.sevcnth Congress was
Thomas Marshall, Of Kentucky. He
came to Washington with u high ropu-
tation as m eloquent advocate and a
rising lawyer. He was a fino scholar,
OF elegant culture, lively Imagination,
and good logical powers. He spoke
with huency. and animation, and always
commanded the attention of the House.
But his habits were cratic, and he was
absent from the Capitol nearly half the
time. There was an old family fe,,d
between MIR. Clay and the Marshalls,
and the representative from Louisville
partook of the luminosity of his relative,
who had met MIR. Clay in single COM
bat: Marshall was decidedly opposed
to the bank bill which the President
had vetoed, and in conversation on
the Avenue attacked it in a strain of
argument and ridicule of the most ef-
fecti &c character.
Bravo, Toni" said a bystander,

IsnSpllE IlOrseS' Feet.

A correspondent of the Canada Far
mer, speaking of this practice, says !:
Rasping down the feet nicely, IN
they call it, is quite passion will,
some people. have often rasped the
hoof, the owner OF the horse stand
ing by to tell me when it would suit
HIM. This rasping on hoof that hap
pens to be a little ill-shaped, until 1t
will spring under your finger, is far too
dangerous a pm for making things
look well. I have often commenced on
hoofs that had n beautiful gloss all
over, and gwen them a thorough rasp-
ing; not that could make them any
better, for that was beyond the power
OF human hands, but they had to be
rasped merely because the owners
mind was slave to fashion or fancy.
This rasping takes the strong surface
off the hoof; and nature, trying all she
can to make mp for the evil done by
injudicious hands, forms hard, glossy
surface to protect the foot. This glossy
surface takes the place Of the previous
tough horn, and ut the next shocing
the foot will probably split little 1T
