Amongst the symptoms of consumpt

Amongst the symptoms of consumption
which present themselves as the disease pro-
crosses, are cold chills, cough, shortness Of
breath, restlessness at night, loss Of appetite,
loss of flesh, night sweats, hectic expectora.
ton Of white mucous, pellets, also yellow and
blush or gray matter, sometimes streaked
with blood; burning pains in the chest, diar-
rh9a, general prostration and incapacity for
the ordinary duties Of life. As the patient
becomes reduced, other complications appear
and he rapidly sinks. A remarkable and
very common physical sign among consump-
tives is their exemption from alarm notwith-
standing the dangerous character of their
disease they believe in ultimate recovery.
This very confidence prevents the patient
from resorting to the only means of cure,
and that watchfulness necessary in SO critical
a time, until finally they lapse into hopeless
recovery. Like the first adventurous boat
man who rowed down from Erie; broad and
smooth was the river, rapid in progress, and
pleasant his anticipations. Alas, the tide
which drifted him so rapidly was one of de-
struction, and when he would retrace his way
he found the current too strong to stem, and
that he drew nearer every instant to the
mighty Niagara. Down. down he was car
ried amidst the seething spray, and with his
bark was dashed to pieces.
The consumptive is admonished to resort
to Fellows Compound Syrup Of Hypophos-
phites when the first symptom presents itself,
and it is the only sure remedy.

Capture of Counterfeiters.

TWAS not less than six weeks ago that
Messrs. William c. Morey Co., leather
dealers at No. 1913 Congress street, rented
the third floor of their building to two men,
who claimed to be inventors, but being en-
ployed each day by other parties, had only
SUNDAYS to devote to the perfection of their
machine, cumbrous affair, which was duly
moved in and set up. From time to time the
proprietors of the premises heard noises pro-
ceeding from this room which led them to
think that the self styled inventors were very
busy, but beyond that paid no attention to
the matter till Mr.. w. w. Apologize, the
local agent of the secret service division OF
the Treasury Department, called upon them
and announced that he had reason to suppose
that counterfeit coin was being made on
their premises. Mr.. Morey, Jr., immediate
ly informed the officer as to his tenants, and
from that moment aided him in watching the
little game. Working quietly an abundance
of evidence was accumulated, and yesterday
morning Messrs. Apologize and Morey se-
GREETED themselves on the first floor and after
watching them cautiously for a time, found
that their mysterious invention was nothing
more or less than a powerful screw press,
which they had at that moment in full opera
ton. Immediately they burst the door IN
and placed the operators under arrest si'ei
which they inspected the premises, wnere
they found, in addition to the press, iarse
quantity of nickel plated sheet metai, uies
for making five cent coins, OF wnich apou'

THE ALABAMA LLAIMS
The Counter Transmitted to
Congress. Z.

Washington, %. The President to-day
transmitted for the information of the Senate
copy of the counter case of the United
States in the matter of claims against Great
Britain presented to the board of arbitration
at Geneva. 1t concludes as follows;
The United States concur with Her Males
tvs government in the opinion that claim
on the part of belligerent to be Unidentified
at the expense of neutral for losses in
ficted or occasioned by any of the ordinary
operatives of war, zone which involves
grave consideration and requires to be
weighed with the utmost care. Without the
explanatory observations which Her Maj esty's
government reserves the right to make in
latter stage of the proceedings, they cannot
say how far they do or do not concur in the
further statement that compensation can only
justly be awarded by the tribunal in respect
to the losses of which the vigience of the
neutral is the direct and proximate cause.
1t appears to them, however, that certain
general considerations may reasonably be as
sumed by the arbitrators. FIRST, both parties
contemplate that the United States will en-.
deavor to establish in these proceedings some
tangable connection of tile cause, and effect
between the injuries, for which they ask COM
pensation, and the FACTS committed by the
several vessels" which the treaty contem-
plates, are TO ne SHOWN to be the fount OF
those inquiries. Second, the tribunal of ar
bitraton being a judicial body, invested by
the parties with the functions necessary for
the determining of the issues between them,
and being now possessed of the substance of
the matter in dispute, will hold itself bound by
such reasonable and established rules of law
regarding the relation of the cause and effect
as it may insure that the parties, in view when
they entered into their engagement to make
this reference. Third, neither party contem-
plates that the tribunal will establish or be
governed by rules in this effect, which will
either on the one hand tend to release neu-
trails from their duty to observe strict neu-
trality, or, on the other hand will make
course of honest neutrality burdensome.
Leaving now the issues raised by the case
and counter cases of the two governments to
the arguments of counsel and to the decision
of the tribunal, the United States repeat with
a strengthened conviction the language with
which they closed their case. 1t is the high
est interest of the two great powers which
appear at this bar, that the causes of differ
ences which have arisen between them should
be speedily and forever set at rest. The
