A Visit to Gretna Green.

From Maysy1lle, says letter writer,
I crossed over into Aberdeen, Ohio, to
interview the grand apostle of eloping
Kentucky lovers, Massie Beasley, Esq,
at your service. How much beauty
would this day bemoan in bated breath
the pangs of single blessedness but for
Beasleyl As Massie Beasley, Esq, had
been for several years engaged in marry
ing runaways without educ process OF
law" I found it delicate and difficult
subject to introduce. Finally I sug-
gested:
"You are we'll known in our State,
Judge, as a very handy magistrate for
those who experience the truth Of the
old adage, that the course of true love
never did run smooth"
Now, though Esquire Beasley is an
old gentleman of sixty, tall of stature
and gray haired, he found it impossible
to restrain blush as he answered:
"Yes-yes, cir; I suppose I am
Quite number of young couples from
your State come to me for relief. But
T always advise them to get married in
their own neighborhood-if they can !'
OF course, if they could, they would
never go to Aberdeen, the Gretna Green
of Ohio, but I waived that proposition
entirely.

and women" I asked, edo you tie
together on an average in q twelve

peders from Kentucky. I, at first, de-
termined to break up the eloping bust

young couples ran away from Kentucky
without their fathers and mothers will,

Wanted to be Heard From.

z II anybody has ever used the thorough and
scientific course Of treatment recommended by
the proprietor of DR.. Sage's CatarTh Remedy
and has not been perfectly cured, the proprio-
tor, DR.. R. v. Pierce, would like to hear from
that person, and by addressing him at the
Worlds Dispensary, Buffalo, N. Y, such per-
son, IL there be one, win hear something to
his or her advantage, as the Doctor is in earnest
when he offers $500 reward for o case Of
Catarrh which he can not cure, and Is perfectly
able to pay It IL he fails in single case, as any
course Of treatment referred to and recon-
mended by DR.. Pierce consists Of the use Of
DIR. Sages Catarrh Remedy with DR.. Pierce's
Nasal Douche which is the only means by which
the fluid can be carried high up and applied to
all parts Of the nasal passages and the cham
bers connected Herewith in which ulcers exist
and from which the discharge proceeds. In
addition to this thorough application Of the
Remedy, which should always be used warm,
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery should
be taken earnestly as constitutional treatment,
without which few cases can be cured, rs the
disease is always constitutional and must be
treated accordingly. This treatment has no
unpleasant features about it, and has the ad-
vantage Of never driving the disease to the
lungs as there is danger Of doing by the use
Of strong, irritating snuffs or poisonous solu-
tions. e" .Hi'''

prevailing, should be obtained by temporary

After the adoption Of Mr.. Hurlbut's sub
stitute for the amendments previously offered,
the bill to repeal the salary increase bill was
passed by vote of 131 to 13O. The repeal
fixed the salary Of Congressman to S6,OOo
year and travelling expenses. The discussion
in the bill was lengthy.
The repeal Of the bankruptcy bill being un-
der consideration, Mr.. Tremain moved the
previous question on the third reading Of the
bill. The previous question was not seconded
by 70 to 12l.
Mr. Beck then moved to strike out all after
the first section Of the BILL and to insert in lieu
thereof the following:
SEC. 2. That all suits and proceedings now
pending in the courts Of the United states
wherein an adjudication OF bankruptcy mas
been made shall be proceeded with and govern
ed by the provisions Of existing laws, which
are hereby continued in force only for the pur-
pose of closing up suits and proceedings now
bending; provided that from and after the
passage Of this act the fees, commissions, and
charges Of the officers and agents OF the courts
in bankruptcy cases shall be reduced to one
half of the fees, commissions, and charges
heretofore allowed.
The previous question was seconded on this
proposition-120 to 25-and the amendment
was agreed to without division.
The bill as amended was then passed--yeas
220; nays, A. It consists Of two sections, the
first repeating the Bankruptcy act OF March z,
1867, and all acts amendatory thereof, and the
second enacting the proposition submitted py

"Considerable excitement was caused

Northumberland has had the ap-
pointment of messengers, and he has
given the majority six and the minori.
ty three. The Republicans proposed
to him to leave the rules standing, pro-
vided he would give them three mes
sensers. This was simply placing
themselves in the position of minority

this liberal offer was rejected by the

CANNlBALIsM. ST.. PAUL, Minn.,
January ia dispatch was received
at the Press Office to-day stating that
the indians at Vermillion lake nine
miles from Duluth, are in state of
actual starvation, many of them dying.
Six children and one man have been
eaten by the starving people some of
them are supposed to be insane from
hunger. Eighty families are on their
way to Duluth and their scouts ar
rived there this afternoon. The fact
that the rice crop failed and that there
is no game causes the distress. Be-
sides, the indians claim that Govern.
ment has failed to send them the pro-
visions they usually receive or pay
them their annuities.

The Milwaukee Herold, German
Reform paper Of very large circula-
ton, sends the following bomb-shell
into the Bourbon camp. The trans
lation, furnished from the HeroM of
the 18th, is as follows
The representatives of the Reform
movement, at Madison, have yet to
prove that they are real reformers.
That they are not very liberal is plain
ly indicated by their appointments at
the Capitol and in the Legislature,
which have more the taste of the
"Old Party" than of Liberalism. You
might we'll ask what claim most of the
appointed gentlemen, who have lived
life of pure Bourbonism, have on the
Reform movement, ard that they shond
be entitled to obtain the .tut of the
broth.
Still we do not wish to open this
question for debate at present, but will
wait to see how the entire jubilee will
end. But let US say this much to the
men of the "oM party grease" to oil
the Reform machine, then the Liberals
who have paved the way for them to
Madison, will no longer be their tools.
In short, it was not the intention of
the honest Reformer to galvanize the
old Democratic party to new life !; and
the illibe.al Reformer at Madison may
take this advice The food might
come upon thes, sooner than they de-
sire it.
