The most Remarkable Remedy ever dis

Benson's Capcine Porous Plaster

At no time In the history OF true medicine
has an article appeared which has met with
greater approval and success than Benson's
Capcine Plaster. Why they are preferred to
all other porous plasters, is owing to their
improved composition; they act instantan'

Physicians and The general public who
acknowledge the great benefits derived from
the use OF the ordinary porous plaster, how
ever, maintain that their action is not suffici.

continuous wear to effect cure. Benson's
Capcine Plaster overcomcs this difficulty by
accomplishing in few hours, that which ii
takes any other Plaster as many days.
Although recent discOvery-Capcine

A Good Report from the south.

New York merchants, who have been
selling largely to the South within the
past six and nine months, report collec-
tions from all that quarter as very salts
factory, except from Louisiana, where
they are rather backward. There have
been few or no failures of late, except at
New Orleans and Montgomery, Ala, and
even these latter were of but compare
lively little account. The people gener
had at any time since the war. and the
indications are, therefore, that the
Southern influence will soou be favora-
bly, felt on the early spring trade.

The critic of the London Times
thinks that Syvestre's painting Of
I" Locusta trying upon a slave N
the presence Of Nero the poison
which is to kill Britannicus will
probably receive the grand medal
at the French Salon Exhibition.
He says of it: Locusta bronzed,
aged, with black hair tied up in
tresses; Nero with pensiye eounten-
ance, low forehead, cruel mouth,
unfeelingly regarding the athletic
slave who writes shrieking at their
feet; a mastery and severe eoncep-
ton; brilliant light thrown upon
warm colors. This is the most dis
cussed and least discussable picture
in the Exhibition. Half the French
journals who criticise the Exhibi-
ton call it chef d'euvre, the other
half a horror. The former err on
the side of enthusiasm, the latter
on that of injustice. 1t is a great
painting which promises a great
painter. A friend whom l met
disliked the familiarity it depicted
between Locusta and Nero. This,
it seems to me, is a perfectly correct
feature. They are two monsters
united in crime, in the committaI
of one of those actions which sever
all distinctions of rank"

The House Committee on For
eign Affairs reported yesterday on
the long pending and ~disgraceful
Schenck business. The report, after
reviewing the testimony which is
very long, concludes that General
Schenck, besides being an Emma
Mine director, was engaged in spec
ulative stock operations with Ire
nor W. Park, vendor Of the mine,
and with General Woodruff, secre-
tary of legation, in such a manner
as to subject the name and station
of the United States Minister OF
the United States to criticism, and
that while his conduct was such
as to cast suspicion upon hi;
motives, the committee do not be-
lieve he was guilty of fraud oil
fraudulent intention. The com
mittee therefore submitted a reso.
luton of censure. The report wai
not acted upon, but the resolution
will no doubt be passed.

Thsater of this city was discovered on
FIRE between | and 2 o'clock this morn
ing. The flames had made great head
way when first seen, and by the arrival
of the engines the entire structure was
on fire, and is almost a total loss,
amounting to $4,000. The building
was owned by W. Judah, who has $500
insurance. The theater was under the
management Of q. J. Chapman; his loss
is $4,000. Twenty actors and actresses
also lost heavily. Among them were A.
Q. Chapman and Marsh Adams, who
we're starring. The office Of the water
works on D side, H%ernden's

and other residences near by we're more
or less injured. John Lane, the property
man Of the theater, was asleep, and so
completely surrounded by the fire that

injuries are very serious. Rich. Bache
Chas. Hunt and Wm. Raggio, all three
6remsn, were badly hurt by the breaking

Shattered ConstItutions Rebuff.

In the use of a wholesome invigorant lies
the only hope Of rebuilding a shattered con-
stitution. HOstetter's Stomach Bitters are
not only an ominently wholesome tonic. but
they rectify with most satisfactory prompti-
tude arrangements Of the stomach. liver and
bowels which are incompatible with a return
Of health aud strength. When the system is
enfeeble1 by disease, by the wear and tear Of
business life, BY continuous mental anxiety,
by the exhaustion consequent upon late heurs
ard fast living, by over-work and by seden-
tary habits, the Bitters are the most reliable
medicinal agent for imparting permanent
vigor to the debilitated frame. The new stock
of vitality which they iniuse into broken
down physique, and the orderly action which
they establish among the organs of digestion,
tute its best safeguard against malarial dis
aaea.

WASHINGTON.


WASHINGTON, May 26.-Postmaster.
General Creswell was examined by the
House Committee on Postofices and
PostrOads and testified that the first year
he was Postns ster General there was
scarcely any straw bidding, but in 1870,
after the examination Of certain bids, he
came to the conclusion that many we're
not in good faith, and prepared the draft
of a bill which he thought would protect
the department. This bill was consider
ed in the Senate. He wanted to exclude
manifestly fictitious bids, and in case of
a failure BY the lowest bidder to
comply with his contract to have
authority 10 make q contract
with any other bidder or outside person.
This q struck from the bill and q pro-
vision inserted that in case of the failure
Of a contractor the Postmaster General
should take the next lowest bid, and so
on. As this amended bill became a law,
he called on the Attorney General for an
opinion as to whether, after the failure OF
a contractor and a refusal Of the next
lowest bidder to perform the service, he
had the right TO select other than the
next lowest bidder, or was he required to
advertise for proposals. The Attorney
General said be must advertise. Mr..
Creswell explained, with the aid Of Off
cial data, the reasons for bis action on
certain contracts.

THE Richmond Wits has this to
say on the st. Louis Conventions:

1t is the cause we desire to see triumph,
and not the individual. We want no
pledged or committed delegation sent to
St. Louis, no politicians who are in the
interest Of any particular aspirant,
whether from the East, West or Middle
States. Sectional and individual preju-
dices and predictions should be sacri.
feed; financial views and differences Of
opinion upon all issues that divide the
party should be ignored. Success alone
can bring reform; and With an honest
admiration Of the government will follow
confidence, the forerunner Of revived
BUSINESS and general prosperity. AL
things will then work together tor oul
good.
