The Democratic Reply to the Republic
can Note.

The Democratic Committee at New Or
leans prepared a reply to the Republican
letter of refusal, which in substance, is as
follows: They admit NO official powers or
right to interfere with the internal affairs
of the State of Louisiana, but they are
here at the request of an organization oil
great political party, where they meet rep,
resentatives Of the opposition, selected
by the President himself for the same pur'
pose, and, as he says in his army order, Tor
the sake of seeing an honest count OF the
vote actually cast. They assume this as the
mutual object, since the question has be-
come national one, and they insist that the
people of the United States can only be sat
isied with fair and honest count, and,
further, that the proper respect should De
maid TO the fact that the people OF the
United States have elected Tilden by ma
iority of nearly three hundred thousand; ig-
noring the negro vote by a majority OF over
one hundred thousand.
In reply to the statement that the Vice
President has authority to count the votes,
they take direct issue, and assert that Con.
gress itself, consisting of the Senate and
House, has been solely invested with such
power; that for thirty years precedent
has established this right, the Senate in
yariably appointed one, and the House two
tellers to whom the duty has been delegated
They emphatically deny that the constitu

delegating such grave and arbitrary powers

and responsibility belong to Congress

They also deny that the Returning Boart

A Decline Of Ecclesiastical Magniil'
cence i'm Europe.
ILondon SPECTATOR


The decay of ecclesiastical magnificence
all over the world has been SO rapid OF
late years that men begin to forget that
magnificoes of the Church, men who We'd
with the greatest mobiles in the "sus-
tanned splendor of their stately lives"
ever existed. They read DIR. Liddon's
account of Bishop Strossmayers gran
deur, of his revenue of 100000 a year
(S250, OOO), exceeding in that region the
revenue of Duke of Northumberland
in England; of his palace much grander
than Fulham; of his picture galleries,
gardens and farms; of one hundred
horses in his stables, and his open tables
with seventy-five guests daily; of his
almost princely rank among Catholics in
Croatia and Bosnia; and OF his immense
political power, with a kind of dreamy
feeling, as if il could not be true, or Us
if the good Bishop had in some way
wrongfully acquired all this magnill-
cence. Bishop Strossmayer, however
only lives as his predecessors lived, on
the proceeds of lands granted to his See
and his splendor is only remarkable be-
cause it is now retained by so few eccle
siastics.
The primate of Hungary is, we be
leve, still richer, and one or two OF the
Austrian Bishops have still princely rev
enues and estates; but out oi the Haps
burg dominion there is no ecclesiastical
grandeur of the old, full-bodied kind re
naming in the world. Less than {
hundred years ago Europe was full o
great clerics; five or six of them wer'

Two Bodies Reduced to u Gallon OF
Ashes.
Washington Reporter.

washington
Wednesday we gave the particulars of
the placing of two bodies in the heated
cremation furnace of DIR. LIE Moyne at
3 80 p. IN. on Tuesday, and of sealing
up of the furnace at 10 p. IN. OF the
same day. The sealing up was necessary
in order to allow the retOrt to cool of
gradually. Yesterday morning it was
still red hot and continued so for long
time. This morning, about thirty-six
hours after the furnace had been closed,
the rctort had cooled off sufficiently and
the door which closed IL was removed In
presence of the doctor and a few friends.
Nothing remained of the bodies and the
coffin but about a gallon of dry dusty
ashes, and cremation in that furnace was
pronounced grand success.
On Tuesday afternoon, when they
were placed in the furnace, the bod
les of the two sheep weighed one hun
dred and sixty-two pounds each, making
total weight of two hundred and
twenty.six pounds which was com
pletely reduced to ashes, in bulk tha
would not more than fill gallon meas

be entirely feasible, and now the question
presents itself, will it become popular
Aside from the prejudices growing GU
of habit and education, there can b
but little said against it. The Docto
could write a volume in its favor, anC
give many reasons why this mode o
disposing Of the dead should be adopted
that would be difficult to answer. Th
subject is now under discussion all owe

civilized world, and all sorts of opinion
are elected. Whatever the result ma.
be. the Doctor has given Washington tn

The invention of the game of chess is
claimed by the Chinese and The HindOos,
with more authority in favor of the lat
ter. The Hindoo version is as follows
A certain Hindoo prince oppressed his
people in a most cruel manner, and Mas
sir, a Brahmin, deeply grieved at their
sorrows, determined to try if he could
not prevail upon the prince to be more
lenient. With this idea in view, he in
vented game where the king, weak in
himself, should be protected by his sub.
jects. AS soon as the prince heard OF
the new game, he sent for the inventor
to come and teach him, who improved
the opportunity to make known what
the new game really taught. Another
account is that it was invented by the
Queen of Ceylon in the second century
to amuse her husband with an image o
war at the time his capital was besieged

MERCHANTS GARGLING OIL. This
standard liniment has been before the
people for over forty years, it having
been first manufactured in 1888, and it
is safe to assert that no preparation in
the market has so fully stood the test of
time, and been received with such uni.
versal favor as the Gargling OIL. 1t is
found in nearly every household in this
country, and is also sold extensively In
Europe. From a very small beginning
the Gargling Oil Company has been
obliged to steadily increase its facilities
for manufacturing, and now employs an
army of men, and occupies magnificent
buildings of its own. Much of the sue
cess of the company is due to the careful

A CONTRABAND LETTER.


Mr.. John Furay, Special Mail Agent,
has just received a letter for proper
disposal by him, which has very
curious history. 1t was written by a
well.known Nebraska. man, four years
ago, to a dealer in counterfeit money
in an Eastern city. The writer in
closed IS to pay for 500 of the crook
ed stuff, which he says he can easily
shove off-$5 at a time-on the In
dians, to whom he was selling whisky.
He directs the crooked money to be
sent to him through the mails, in three
different packages, so as not to excite
suspicion, and he adds that he will pat
ronize the dealer to the extent of sew
eral thousand dollars in the bogus cur
rency. This letter never reached it's
destination. It got into a crack in q
mail car, and remained there till the
other day, when it was found by a
workman engaged in repairing the car
at the Chicago shops. It was handed
over to the proper authorities, who
forwarded it to Special Mail Agent
Furay, who will send it to the writer
with some sound advice. The man is
said to be an individual who, if &C.
cused of such an intent would shoot in

be surprised to receive his self.accus.

terrible tornado passed through South Bur-

instantly killed and the body found in the

the ground. Numerous others were more or
less injured, but not seriously. Thirty-nine
buildings were riddled to pieces. The storm
was Of but an instant's duration, and its work
Of destruction was like flash Of lightning.
The storm extended across the State
Of Iowa, and part Of Illinois and Nebraska. In
central Iowa the loss Of life is much worse

SCnENCKs SEA WEED ToN1C.-In the
atmosphere experienced here during the sum-
mer months, the lethargy produced by the
heat takes away the desire for wholesome
food, and frequent perspirations reduce bod
lily energy, particularly those suffering from
the effects OF debilitating diseases. In order
to keep = natural healthtul activity of the
system, we must resort to artificial means.
For this purpose Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic
Is very efFectual. A few doses will create an
appetite and give fresh vigor to the enervated
body. For dyspepsia it is invaluable. Many
eminent physicians have doubted whether
dyspepsia can be permanently cured by the
drugs which are generally employed for that
purpose. The Sea Weed Tonic in its nature
il totally different from such drugs. It con-
tains no corrosive minerals or acids in fact
it assists the regular operations of nature,
and supplies her deficiencies. The tonic in
its nature 80 much resembles the gastric
Juice that it is almost identical with that fluid
The gastric juice is the natural solvent which,
in healthy condition Of the body, causes
the food to be digested !; and when this juice
is not excreted in sufficient quantities, indi-
gesti0n, with all its distressing symptoms,

duty Of the gastric juice when the latter is
