The General HOspItaI-A Bit of Farce
The JudgeshiP, etc.


lSpeCidi W luC IiOSc'J
AUGUSTA, Feb. Is.
The House to-day afforded an unexampled
exhibition of liberality probably never before
witnessed in Legislative body. The mana
gers of the General Hospital asked for $4,000,
and the Financial Committee reported unani-
mousy in favor and the resolve was reported.
An amendment was proposed which renewed
the war of the "pathies'' Under this condi-
ton the managers did not want the grant, and
a gentleman speaking for them stated that fact
and moved the indefinite postponement of the
measure. Nevertheless the House went on,
and by vote of three to one defeated the mo-
ton and vote the appropr ation.
Yesterday when the resolve granting $4,000
acres of land to the Fort Fairfield Branch
Railroad came up, several gentlemen moved
amendments adding grants for railroads in
which Their sections were interested There
fore it struck the fertile mind OF Mr.. Sam"
Leavitt that it would be good thing to clear
up and dispose of all the lands, ETC., which the
state owns and divide the proceeds among the
dozen chartered railroad companies in the
state, and he talked the measure for that pur
pose. After consultation with several gentle
oke, AN amendment Set forth in the House
proceedings, was proposed by Mr.. Leavitt, and
for more than an hour that body allowed dis
custom on that very remarkable proposition to
20 on. Mr.. Leavitt made speech, which for
humor was quite an approach to j. Proctor
Knots famous Duluth grafton, to those who
appreciated his purpose, and of well assumed
gravity to those who did not comprehend the
purport of the gentleman. Mr. Wilson sup
ported Mr.. Leavitt, but the latter was the star
actor in the farce. 1t must be added that tow
ard the close, these gentlemen were convinced
by the force of their own arguments that they
were in earnest, and were really the only con-
verts. Mr. Talbot, the other party in getting
I'D the amendment did not appear before the
scenes, but was evidently pleased with the
play.
Another candidate for the about to be vacant
judgeship is announced in the person of Chas.
R. whidden, Esq, of Calais.
The House table was cleared last evening of
everything that could be reached. The Senate
did full days work, and from five to six this
evening disposed of dozen or more matters on
its table, blasting several carefully nursed little
schemes.
The pay roll of the Constitutional Commits
sion is a little more than $4,000.
Mr.. Kiff, the member of the House who per
formed the remarkable feat of walking from
Vinalhaven to Belfast, 36 miles, on the ice
Wednesday, is now quite ill.
1t is now reported that one of the gentlemen
who opposed the giving of all the state lands to
the railroads was one of the earliest advocates
of that policy.
President Webb Of the Sena te is expected to
resume his place to-mor row.

OTTAWA Feb. 1S.-In House of Comm ons
last night Capt. Roscoe, the member for Victo-
ria, drew attention to the Importance of defin-
ing at an early date the boundary between Br.
Columbia and Alaska, and made a motion on
the subject.
Mr. Descosmos thought the plan to avoid i'm
pending difficulties between the gold miners
and United States would be to purchase por-
ton of Alaska territory, which he thought
might be bought outright for million dollars
DIR. THOMPSON and Mr.. Bunster dwelt on the
Importance of this subject
Mr. Mckenzie, the premier, said the subject
was under consideration,
Capt. Norris brought up the grievance under
which Canadian ship owners suffer in having
to pay tonnage dues of 80 cents per ton at
American Lake ports and advocated retalia-
tory policy.
Mr.. Mckenzie did not know of any represen-
tations being made to the U. S. government on
the subject, but would bring down the papers
if there We're any.

Consumpiives, Take Notice.

Every moment of delay makes your cure more
hopeless, and much depends the Judieious choice
of a remedy. The amount of testimony in favor of
DR.. Schenck's PulmoDic Syrup. as a cure for con-
SUMPTION far exceeds all that be brought to sup
port the pretensions of any other medicine See DIR.
Schenck's Almanac, containing the certificates OF
many persons of the highest responsibility who have
been restored to health, after being pronounced in
durable by physicians of acknowledged ability
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured many, as
these evidences will show but the cure is often pro-
NOTED by the employment of two other remedies
which DR.. Schenck provides for the purpose. These
additional remedies are Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic
and Mandrake Pills. By the timely use of these
medicines according to directions, DIR. Schenck GER
titles that most any case of Consumption may be
cured. ~, -.

Assisting Nature.

1t is of no use attempting to force nature. She
won't stand it, and rebels She must be coaxed, as
it were not driven For instance, in attempting to
constipation orindigeston, violent, OF what
physicians call. by way of euphony "heroic" treat
ment is to defeat the purpose in view, which is
or should be, to permanently remedy the evil. The
use drastic cathartics is especially to be deprecat
Gated, for though they temporarily overcome costiye
ness yet the intestnes are so weakened and nfamed
by them as to be rendered unfit to perform the eiec
tive function properly. How much better to assist
nature in such case with such mild and salutary
aperient as Hostetter's Stomach Bitters which
strengthen at the same time that they relieve the
bowels Not only is this result achieved by their use
but the activity Of the torpid liver is restored the
stomach invigorated, and the entire system greatly
benefited.

Reed OF Bath, opposed the amendment.
DIR. Tefft favored it. If the amendment was
lost he would move to change the title of the
resolve SO as to make it resolve in favor of the
''Sectarian Hospital He claimed that any
man who wants to take red pepper or little pills
in the hospital should have that right.
Mr.. Denison of Poland, opposed the amend
ment. He said that it was an impossibility for
the two schools to work together. To adopt the
amendment was to stab the bill to the heart.
Mr. Lyman of Machias, told the House the
progress the allopaths were making. He want

DR.. Sturgess of Auburn, opposed the amend

both schools would not only wo,k badly, but
would be a constant source of CONSERVATION in
the wards As to the aid the hom@opathists
gave to the hospital, he supposed they did 50
because they desired a hospital. and it would
be quite as pertinent to ask to control church
to which you did not belong because one gave
it sum of money.

the doctors failed to disagree the people must
He was ready to vote.
Mr.. Wilson of Bangor was an allopathist;

He voted S25, 900 last year, would gladly vote

The vote was then taken on the adoption of
Mr.. Wheelwrght's amend ment, which was
adopted.
Mr. Leavtt then moved to indefinitely post
pone the resolve. He said it was the desire OF
the petitioners to have this done if the amend
ment was rejected, and if passed would not
take the money.
Mr., Wilson hoped the friends of the measure
would not get into pet over this war OF the
''pathies,' and thus defeat the objects OF a
great charity.
The House, however, persisted and refused to
indehnitely postpone the resolve, and as amend
