WASHINGTON.

CINCINNATI, March 1.-THE following
is special TO the Times and Chronicle
this afternoon from Washington:
In view of the settled fact that Judge
Richardson is to succeed Mr., Boutwell,
in the Treasury Department, in the
event Of the latter's election TO the Sen
ate. there is much inquiry on the part Of
financial men to ascertain whether Mr..
Richardson will adhere to Mr.. Boutwelrs
policy in administering the finances Of
the country. Your correspondence ena-
bled TO say authoritatively that, while
Mr.. Richardson does not favor any vio-
lent departure from the policy pursued
by Secretary Boutwell,, he believes in
taking some steps looking to the re-
sumption of specie payments. he is
more inclined TO measures to bring
about this result than Mr.. Boutwell,
is. and has matured plan which
he believes will accomplish it with
out upsetting trade or disturbing
to any great extent the money market.
Mr.. Richardson believes that the pres
ent circulation of greenbacks should not
be disturbed, although he is more OF
believer in contraction than in expan-
sion. He believes that the power of the
Secretary over the forty-four millions
Of the legal tender reserve should be
reduced and limited, If not altogether
taken away. He wrete an act some two
months ago expressly limiting the
amount of this reserve to nineteen mil
lions of dollars, which was sent to the
Senate Finance Committee, but was
never acted upon. The margin oil
nineteen millions was put in the
bill only to meet the sudden demand
on the treasury, such as a large
appropriation for the redemption Of frac-
tional currency, which by law is payable
in preenbacks and three per cent. certih-
Gates. The power of the Secretary over
this reserve is not restricted by Congress.
Mr.. Richardson does not expect or in
tend to use it to any extent whatever in
other respects, such as funding the pub
lie debt, selling FIVE per cent. bonds, etc.
Mr.. Richardson will follow in the foot
steps of Secretary Boutwell,.

WEST VIRGINIA.

PARKERsBURG, March ll.-A very sim
gular series Of accidents occurred last
night at Elizabeth, West Virginia, a few
miles from here. Shortly after Mr..
Alfred Wells and his family had retired,
Mrs. Wells complained of a feeling
of numbness in her limbs, and requested
her husband to help her walk across the
floor. About half way across the room
he expressed some fears, when she told
him not to be afraid, and Immediately
dropped dead. He gave an alarm
and a neighbor, an old lady, in crossing
the street to his assistance fell, breaking
her left arm in two places, and her right
collar bone. Her son, young man,
heard her scream, and rushing out of
the house to her aid, fell against the
halfopen door, breaking his nose, and
rebounding, fell senseless to the floor.
DR.. Kendall, Fastening to the help OF
the sufferers, also fell and broke two Of
his ribs and had to be carried home.

BERLIN, March ll..Several leading
German newspapers attack that portion
Of the Presidents inaugural address in
which he speaks of the progress Of ro-

among other civilized nations toward
that form Of government. They de-
nounce these remarks Of the President
Of the United States as an insult to the

CINCINNATI.

CINCINNATI, March ll.-During the
high wind last night two freight cars
standing on the side track of the o. & NJ.
R. R., at Higgins station, sixty miles
this side of St. Louis, were blown off
the end of the switch, thereby obstruct-
ing the mail track. The Eastern ex-
press from s. Louis came in contact
with the cars while running at full speed.
The engineer and fireman were danger
ously wounded. The two cars and the
engine of the express train were
wrecked. The passengers all escaped
without injury.

THE nEAn HEAD SYSTEM.

The poor Congressman who had to in
crease their back salaries at the close oil
the last session in order to get even are
about TO suffer great outrage at the
hands of the Union Pacific railroad.
That institution has determined to re-
call its free passes for the current year
issued to those patriots. If they go out
West TO shoot buffalo and cool them
selves in the shadows of the Rocky
Mountains, they will find it necessary
for the first time, to buy tickets before
thew start. The railroad has abolished
the Thanking privilege, and IN. c" will
not pass a Congressman to San Fran
cisco and return any better than Z.
Mnor" &C. s." 1t is stated that on a
recent train going to San Francisco the
conductor counted eithty-one dead
heads. Rather expensive business, but
the railroad could afford it as long as
Congress raid all its charges for trans
uortation. These pleasant interchanges
of courtesies have been ruthlessly
severed.

ST. PATRICK's DAY.

The various Irish societies of the city
are arranging to celebrate the natal day
of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland
with perhaps more than usual unanimlty.
The principal interest of the occasion
will be concentrated in ball at the
Cochran Hall, where beauty and gal
lantry will meet to pass the heeting and
ioyous hours of the evening. Every
Irishman has special pride in the OBJ
seryance of the day, and many Others
will be present to testify to their respect
for Irish nationality.

HOW 10 Cure q Cold.

AS colds are prevalent at this season,
the Danbury News furnishes its readers
with the particulars of a method adopted
by citizen of that place to get rid of
one of those troublesome affections:
" he boiled little boneset aud boar
hound together, and drank freely of the
tea before going to bed. The next day
he took five pills, put one kind of plaster
on his breast, another under his arms,
and still another on his back. Under
advice from an experienced old lady he
took all these off with an oyster-knife in
the afternoon, and slapped on a mustard
paste instead. His mother put some
onion drafts on his feet, and gave him
lump of tar TO swallow Then he put
some hot bricks to his feet, and went to
bed. Next morning another old lady
came in with bottle of goose oil, and
gave him dose of it in q quill, and an
aunt arrived about the same time from
Bethel with bundle of sweet fern, which
she made into tea, and gave him every
half hour until noon, when he took big
dose of salts. After dinner his wife,
who had seen fine old lady of great ex-
perience in doctoring, on Franklin street,
gave him two pills of her make, about
the size of an English walnut and Of a
similar shape, and two tablespoonfuls of
homemade balsam to keep them down.
Then he took half pint Of hot rum at
the suggestion of an old sea captain in
the next house, and steamed his legs
with an alcohol bath. At this crisis two
of the neighbors arrived, who saw at
once that his blood was out of order, and
gave him gallon of spearmint tea and
a big dose Of castor oil. Before going
to bed he took eight of a new kind Of
pill, wrapped about his neck q flannel
soaked in hot vinegar and salt, and had
feathers burned on a shovel in his room.
He is now thoroughly cured and full Of
gratitude"

THE DAILY GRAPHIC.

The promised daily illustrated paper
has made its appearance under the above
name. We have received three num-
bers and noted the contents with much
interest, as this is a new venture, and
one which, if successful, will in time
work out quite a revolution in journal
ism. Not that every paper would be-
come pictorial and be able to support
a corps of artists, but if one such sue
coed to any reasonable degree it will
soon have opposition, not only in New
York, the metropolis Of newspapers as
well as capital but in other cities West
and perhaps South. The Graphic is
uuarto in form and has, therefore, eight
pages. The four outside pages are devoted
TO pictures. This is the feature which at
once arrests the eye. The subjects
chosen thus far are such az would be
found in weekly illustrated paper, and
the outlines Of the picture are we'll
drawn. The finish Of the pictures is not
aud perhaps will not soon be equal to
the best weeklies; but they are on time,
such as the respite of Foster, the muir
derer, a New York fire, aud scenes at the
Presidential Inauguration. 1t iGreasona-
bic to suppose that the newly discovered
art Of photolithography, as il is called
will be brought to higher perfection in
the hands Of studious artists, aud that in
time it will take its rank along with
photography and TYPOGRAPHY. The lit
erary character Of the Graphic com
pares we'll with any weekly. and it deals
at the same time with the news Of the
day, and has all The features Of live
dsily. The editor is understood 10 be

Nothing Is less exclusive than the

terial of garments, or the combinations

a fashion for herself. There are as many
