Remarkable witnesses seem to have become
the order of the day now in the Beecher

hull household were yesterday on the stand.
and their testimony was to the effect that
Mr.. Tilton had sworn to the opposite
of the truth concerning his relations
there and his alleged efforts to prevent
the Woodruff publication OF the scandal
Vigorous attempts were made in the cross
examination to break them down, but without
much success, and one excellent witness gave
such frank expression to his opinion about
the lawyers waste of time as to elicit the
cordial approval of the Judge.

correspondent, are accompanied by dangers OF
moro than local interest, because OF the
probability that the fine railroad Dndge
at Havre de Grace would be swept away
in case of the breaking of the
gorge. This bridge was built at great
expense and only after many hard battles
with the ice. its loss would seriously impede
travel between this city and Washington, ana

The reason Of the unprecedented demand for

of their being just as represented, OF superior
the equally potential fact that they contain

fancy in saying thatthcy will accomplish just
what is claimed for them, and one single trial
will readily convince any person as to the truth
of our assertion.

Might Have Been Saved.

An inquest was held at St. Mary's on twenty bodies from the steamer Schiller. H. Killers, first officer of the Schiller, testified that at the time the vessel struck Capt. Thomas and another officer were on the bridge. Two men were looking out forward, and two others were on the bridge with the captain.
 The jury rendered verdict of "Acci dentally drowned" coupled with a recommendation that telegraph be es- tablished between Bishops Lighthouse and the shore. They express the opinion that if such communication had existed all on board the Schiller would have been saved. Officers Killers and Poleman concur in this opinion.
 There were saved from the Schiller "only one woman, but ffty-six mail bags" Does not this simple statement seem to show that if the help from the shore could have been sent to the ship by midnight instead of eight hours after midnight, it might have been possible to save at least as many women and chil- dren as Small bags ?'' Mail-bags cer- tainly can neither swim LOT float any bet ter, to put the thing mildly, than women morning were able to take off so many mail-bags might probably enough have taken off as many women and children. But no one on shore knew what was hap. pening until the dawn revealed the spec tral scene; and during the long, long night the women and the children had been all swept into the rising and raging ocean.

Peace or War.

The London Telegraph, in an edito- rial article on the meeting of the Emper- ors of Russia and Germany, says: It is impossible to conceal the truth The continental situation wears this morning the very gravest aspect. If we were to say that the question of the future re- pose of Europe may be practically solved before forty eight hours have passed we would, scarcely go beyond the facts. The tendency at this hour is decidedly pa cific. sr-- ..- s.sys ..... --.... .e-
 Other London journals likewise com ment upon the meeting, but the thought of war is generally discredited. It is re- ported from Paris that the French gov ernment positively contradicts the asser- tion that Germany has recently made representations of 8 hostile tendency. The same dispatch contains the state ment, believed to be semi-official, that no cause of conflict exists between Ger, many and France, and that advices from all the capitals of Europe are of thesa tenor-that pacific ideas are everywhere in the ascendant. The feeling in Paris is more hopeful. La Liberte says the Czar intends to propose general dis arming, and Germany will support the proposition.

Our NeighbOr Mexico.

Mexico, says the editor of the Ever- ing Wisconsin, now on 8 visit there, contains nine millions of people. Of these, not more than one million are of Spanish descent, and of these latter not more than five hundred thousand are of pure Castiian blood. Of the residue eight millions, at least 7,5O0,OOO are pure Indian. There were some Africans imported by the Spaniards- are mostly in Southern Mexico. So few slaves were imported that it is estimated to-day that the entire negro population of Mexico does not exceed one hundred thousand. Under a system of peonage the Spaniards worked the Indians in the mines and on the haciendas with se- verity and oppression more rigid than the system of slavery in the United States. These Indians must have been 8 hardy race, or the Spanish task masters would have exterminated them. Labor i'll the silver mines was far more exhausting than any plantation work in the United States. Nevertheless, through all these trials, the Mexican In dian has slowly improved. He speaks the Spanish language He reads Span ish books, and he has become used to the ways of modern civilization, and, though he outnumbers the Castilian nine to one, he never evinces 8 desire to massacre them.
 He is very jealous, like his former Spanish task-master, but he is not so cruel-on the contray, we consider him good-natured. In crowd, we consider him almost as polite as Frenchman. The children learn rapidly. Rev. MT. Riley, an Englishman, who has a school and church here, remarked that they learned their lessons with as much fa- cility as Anglo-Saxon children. If this be generally true, there is no reason why the Mexican Indian should not steadily improve. He is now voter, and yet I am informed that scarcely a fifth of them ever exercise the fran chise. As all Americans, whether white or black, are natural politicians, this ab- negation of the elective franchise, on the part of the poorer class, may seem unaccountable. When all the votes are cast at every election, the government will be much moro stable, for the broad CT the base. the more solid the shaft. :.

Working Under Water.

A newspaper says: The divers were engaged in fastening planking over the openings which had caused the steam boat Stonington to sink, and their occa- sional appearance above the surface of the water excited great curiosity and interest. The men remained below from two to three hours at a time. Their armor was of the ordinary pattern, made of India rubber, with the exception of the helmet, which is composed of copper, with glass windows through which they obtain light. Around their waists were heavy pieces of iron, of suffi- cient weight to sink them to the proper depth, which was about eighteen feet. The currents of air were furnished by means of rotary pumps, which forced air through rubber tubes to the inside of the armor. The supply was regulated by signals given by the diver, who signlfied desire for more air by one pull upon rope, which was tied to his body, and for diminution of supply by two pulls. The persons at the pump have become so accustomed to the work that they rarely need instructions as to what supply of air is needed. The diver soon becomes able to tell, by the effect upon his lungs, what supply he needs.
 The divers at work stated that they were compelled to do most of their work by feeling, as hardly ray of light pene- trated through the muddy water of tAe river. They succeeded in covering all the holes in the side of the vessel with planking and placed canvas over them so as to make the outside water-tight Two of the divers who were at work say that a short time ago, when they were one hundred feet under water, off the island of Bermuda, the sea wasa5o trans lucent that by writing upon Q slate which they carried, what they needed persons above could readily read wha they wrote, and send them the neces saries without requiring them to come up, except every six hours to obtain their meals. They say that the water il the vicinity of thi1 city is so heavily sur charged with the filth from the street: and other sources that it becomes almos opaque, and objects can be seen witt Iliffieulty ylten feet below the surface, ex cept when the sun shines directly upo1 the water. The difficulty of breathing however. is not increased.

The Transmission of Blood.

The New York Herald says: From some of our St. Louis contemporaries we learn that General Frank Blair has twice undergone the operation for the transmission of blood, that the operation was to be performed a third time, and that it had had the happiest effect on the generals condition. Itisthe melancholy experience of that portion of the public which has given the subject any attention that reports of this nature are commonly followed almost immediately by reports of the patients death; for the benefits of the operation of transfusion are in all cases of organic disease as evaDescent as their promise is brilliant; and this result if so clearly logical that for all such cases the operation should be looked upon as inexcusable.
 By this operation blood is transfused from the vessels of healthy subject to the vessels of the patient, and the theory of the operation is plainly enough that in the given case. of disease it is the blood of the patient that is at fault; and so exclusively his blood thatf healthier blood can be substituted his condition will be ameliorated, if his disease is not cured. In all cases of organic disease this has been found to be erroneous practically, while theoretically it is rabid nonsense. If the patient has lost blood by wound the supply by trans fusion may save life. If he is reduced by an an@mic or span@mic condition the supplymay be temporarily advantageous, but the assumptions of the operation do not apply in other cases, certainly not in in those of prolonged disease. General Blair is paralyzed. Either the disease is in his blood or it is not. If it is not, then there is diseased condition of the brain; the machinery of the vital opera, tions is disordered. If the machinery is out of order fresh blood will not change it and will only aggravate the trouble by stimulating 8 crippled organ to activity for which it is unfit and so will hasten the fatal result. But if the disease is in the blood-as transmission seems to as- sume-what then? How long will two, four or six ounces of new blood last . man Two, four or six hours, may be, and then shall there be new transfn. sion2 And if there is not a new trans fusion will not the original incapacity o1 the system to make good blood recur ano reduce the man to the state from whicl he was raised by the stimulus of the small dose of healthy vital fluid Will he not even fall below that condition by reaction from his temporary intoxica tiOn

Come, and Let Us Reason Together.

To the afflicted in body, we offer few words of plain, practical reasoning. No matter under what form of sickness you labor, there is one great truth you should ever keep in mind, viz.: All dis ease originates ill an impure condition of the blood. Purify that, and the dis ease must depart, for it has nothing to feed on; but you cannot purify the blood by the use of poisonous drugs, and exhaustive stimulants; the relief which these afford is temporary and de- captive, leaving you worse off at every interval. The best blood purifier ever discovered is Dr. Walkers famous Vinegar Bitters, compounded of simple herbs. No matter how hopeless your case may seem, try the Vinegar Bitters, and few draughts will convince you of their virtue. Dr. Walker, the dis coverer of this priceless remedy, had been given up to die by the physicians, and is now sound and healthy man from their use.
