but his wife has tried to keep it a secret,
fearing he would be sent away if the
facts were known. For some days
past he has refused to eat in his house
alleging as a reason that he thought his
wife was trying to poison him. He has
been in the habit of carrying d sort of a

Tuesday afternoon, without any warn

that his wife had tried to poison hun
with chlorotorm, and that she carried it
around in her hand and kept throwing it
at him-that it was so thick down at his

Mr.. Samuel Bell, of w. e. Schmertz C
Co Wholesale Boot and Shoe Manufaclur-
ers, 81 Fifth avenue, Pittsburgh, Pa, has
been afflicted with chronic rheumatism for
thiity years, from his right hip TO his foot,
having to use crutch and cane, at times
so painful as to utterly ncapactate him
from attending To his business. Having
tried every remedy known, without effect,
except Gilliland's Pain Killer, he was
finally induced to try it, A second applica-
tion enabled him TO lay aside his crutch,
and third effected permanent cure. Mr..
Bell is popular and well-knuwn citizen,
is living monument of the effacacy of
that great medical discovery, Gilliland's
Pain Killer. The afflicted should ask their
grocer or dru- gist for it, and try its won

at the questioner, but gave no answer.

his words to "Do you think the de,

Sull in vain.

consider the man perfectly rational, or
not ?"
No answer yet.
Let me tackle him" said Cock burn.
Then, assming his broadest Scotch
tone, and turning to the obdurate wit
ness, he began;
"Hae ye your null wi YEP
sou, ay," said the awkward Cimon,
stretching out his snuff horn.
Moo, hoo long hae ye kent John
Sampson ?" said Cockburn, taking Il
pinch.
Ever sen he was that high" was
the ready reply, the witness indicating
with his hand the alleged altitude.
"An' dye think moo, atween you

insinuating Scotch manner, that

THE PRESIDENT RESPONSIBLE.

| d Governor Warmoth is reported to have
told President Grant that if the Repub-
lican party is beaten III Louisiana next
fall, the President alone will be the cause
OF that defeat, thus clearly notifying him
that he is responsible for the conduct of
the federal officials in New Orleans, who
have created. and are endeavoring to
widen the breach in the party. He is re-
sponsible, because he holds the remedy in
his hands, and Will not apply it. Presi-
dent Grant appointed these men to office,
and be has the power 10 DISMISS them
Whenever i'll his judgment, the public in
terest demands the exercise OF that au-
thority. 1t is useless for him to attempt
to eyade public duty upon the score Of
not wishing to interfere with the local
affairs Of State. The local affairs of this
State have been outrageously interfered
with by his appointees. They have packed
q convention in the CustOmhouse, called
IN federal troops to keep out the lawful rep
resentatives of the people, insulted State
sovereignty BY offering insult to the Gov
ernor of the State, and concluded their
outrages upon this particular occasion by
constituting certain comparatively un-
known men a. State Central Executive
Committee for the Republican party Of
Louisiana These high-handed measures
have created no serious alarm, it is true,
among the Republicans Of the State, be-
cause they knew the political strength Of
the Customhouse faction consisted u
their official positions, and believed that
President he would promptly dismiss
them, and hat would put al end to any
thin9 Ike divisions l. the Republican
party Of Louisiana. This course or the
part OF the President would have healed
up the little breach first made by the
Customhouse faction, and wiped out the
stain put upon the national aGministra-
ton by It's sUbordinates IN New Orleans
who had caused a political convention to be
he'd N the Cust0mhoUse and sought theaid
Of federal troops to assist in organizing it
to defeat the will of the people Leading
Republicans took an early opportunity to
inform the President just how matters
stood down here. A delegation vas dis
patched to Long Branch, and they pa
tiently labored to enlighten the President
and make him feel and see the necessity
of placing men in tie federal service here
who would not interfere III local affairs to
the detriment of the public service and
the Republican party. The mission Of the
delegation failed to accomplish any good.
The President could not see Louisiana
and federal affairs in the same light the
Republican party down here did. There
fore, he refused to apply the remedy, and
the breach has continued slowly to widen.
