VETO THE PRESIDENTIAL SA

VETo THE PRESIDENTIAL SAL
AIRY Bill l-WAsHINGroN, April l8.
The Prident has placed his seal
of disappbation on the effort to re-.
duce the aary OF his successor. A
bill placin the salary ofthe President
back to 1e old rate of $4,000 a
year. instd of $4,000, as fixed by
the SalarErab act of the last Con-
gress, wa recently passed by both
Houses of'ongress It was generally
understoochat the President would
veto it, an his message to that end
was sent tehe Senate to-day, but was
not read. rhe bill, OF course, could
not affect J salary, for the Constitu.
tion stand in the way, and it was
hardly to tsupposed that the Presi-
dent wouldapprove a bill increasing
his own pa and subsequently approve
a bill to me the pay, of his successor
halt as Larry as his own. The veto
message is pt long, but it is rather
conclusive it's showing as against
Congress. ! calls attention to the
fact that attle time the salary of the
President W fixed at $25, 900 year,
Congressma were to receive Sc day
for the tim employed, an average of
l2O days the session, or $720 a
year Thealary of the President has
not been ireased until the last year,
while the 'ay of Congressman has
been multlied by seven. As the
pay of thePresident cannot be re-
duced durin the term for which he
may be elecd, it is reasonable to sup
pose, if futre Presidents follow the
example of'resident Grant, that the
salary Of th' Executive will remain at
$50, 900 var, the rate fixed by the
Salary.Grablaw.

A Base Slander Nailed.

| A most vile and malicious slandor
on Mr.. Blaine, was started at Nash
vile the other day, in the first num-
Der OF the Banner, published at Nash
vile, and telegraphed thence to differ
ent parts Of the country. The scan
dal is to the effect that, twenty-s;x
years ago, while Mr.. Blaine was a
Professor in the Military Institute At
Georgetown, KY, he seduced a fe-
male teacher 10 the same institution
ana that her friends com PEELED him to
marry her. bv threats of yiolenca .na
resort TO blows, and that shortly after
5he marriage the wife sickened and
died.

deserves, this base invention Of Mr.
bialnes enemies. The Tribune saws
II has ihe authority Of gentlemen of
character and influence in Maine as
we'll as Kentucky, some of them per-
sonal and political opponents, who are
thoroughly cognizant of Mr.. Blaine's

seven years ago by the True Keutuch-

retracted by that paper in the most
explicit language. The facts are Mr.
Blaine has been married but once
and the lady is still living. He mar.
rled his wife in Augusta, Maine, and
her name was Stanwood. She was Of
one OF the most respectable families of
Maine, where the people are very in
d'gnant at such an attack upon an es-
tlmabe lady and the mother of charm
ing family, respected by all who know
her for excellence of character.

The Wife Of Two Men as a

The New York Herald of February

cards for tho possession OF wife by her
two living ta,b nds.
The cause 0. iAis phenomeDal incident
briefly told is as follows: 10 the fall of
1871 Louis Lange, barber, married
Annie Hartsmann, of Hudson City, N
D.. after courtship Of two weeks. They
lived together a very quarrelsome life for
few months, and then, in a fit of pas.
sion, he deserted her aud vent TO Chica.
go. She being left without means went
homs to her parents, but, having obtained
a situation, returned to WILLIAMSBURG, :.
Here she met the groom sman, Claus
Doscher, who officiated at her wedding.
Alter waiting two years without hearing
from lange, Mrs Lange married Doscher
in 1874. Last week Lange returned to
Brooklyn, and intent on being more han
py in the future, sought his wife to NAL. e
amends for his previous i'll treatment and
give promise Of better treatment in the
future. He was Mortified to find her the
wife of his groomsman, but after consid.
cradle sacrifice be decided to arrange the
affairs amcably. So with a mutual
friend who was acquainted With all the
parties, he called on her, in the rear of
No. l64 johnson avenue. He was made
cordially welcome, and after conversa
tion of some half hours duration the men
adjourned to saloon in the front of the
building to settle the matter by a game of
euchre. The room was diDgy one, the
light OF the lamp casting only faint
glimmcr on the interesting game which
was heralded by draughts of lager. Iu
the earlier part Of the game fortune
seemed to be in favor of Doscher. and he
speedily scored nine out of ten points to
win, but there he stopped, and Lange
slowly aud by 'one' scored up to the same
figure. The woman as the game pro.
gressed left her seat and took a place by
the side OF her second husband. All those
in the room gathered around the table.
and as Lange took a trick an audible sigh
came from the woman, but as Doscher
laid out trump after trump, she seemed
relieved, and when he made the winning
point she sauted him with hearty kies.
Lange for moment seemed angry, but
said, "Wcll, Doscher, old boy, she ANT
worth fighting over, here's joy to you with
her." and he quaffed foamng taukarl

The party then commenced drinking
and kept it up till midnight, when they

Glass Sponge under the Micro

Among the Japanese the sponge is
known as "sca cotton" And until re-.
Gently this idea Of the vegetable nature of
the sponge was universal. The micro.
scope alone cast light into this darkness.
The sponge is indeed an animal. 1t is
also true that these sponge animals belong
to many genera and species. The work
OF classification is, however, so far as the
sponges are concerned, one Of great diff

impossible. In general terms, the sponge

number of sponge animals. This horny
skeleton holds the sarcode. or sponge
flesh, This sarcode surrounds the entire

ings or tubes necessary for inhaling and
exhaling, it is also the filling-in of the
structure. Now this sarcode IS of con.
sistence like jelly, and would be diifiuent
but for the fact that it contains mixed all
through it little SPECULATE PARTICLES of a
siliceous or calcareous nature, that give
to the sarcode a consistency or ability to

the plaster through which it is mixed
And as these minute spicules have very
definite forms, and as these forms vary
with the species, they become of great
help in their determination. 1t is notice.

have waited In vain for thee, Spirit Of Song
For the soul Of thy passionate Tyre
To sweep with its glories my pathway along,
My dreams with its mu ic inspire.
I've longed for the touch of thy soul thrilling
hand,
For the goam of thy radiant brow,
Whose beauty was won in the star-circed Land
Where the golden winged cherubims bow,
I've looked to tho hills for thy garments of flame
When morn flushed the face of the sky,
And leaned out to hear if the sound of thy name
On the vespers of evening went by.
At the shrine of devotion Two fingered apart,
Have walked on tho foam -whitened Shore
Have gathered the solitude into my heart,
And bowed meath the thunder-god's ronr,
I've ronmed the lone forest in search of thy smile,
I've questioned the wondering bird,
If mid the green shades Of some magical isle
Thy melodies ever are heard.
Where, where is thy dwelling thou Spirit of light,
On the mountain, the cloud, or the lea
In the moonbeam that walks through the shadowy
night,
Or the coral-roofcd halls of the sea-
Dcst thou dwell by the gates of the sorrowless
dead
Or in eyes that are truest on earth
Are thy laurels immortal the oftenest shed
On the brows of Youth Beauty, or Worth
Oh, Spirit Of Song, wilt thou breathe Ger my law
So long have pined for thy power,
With tho soul that is wearily waiting to-day.
Come, linger one beautiful hour
Till write rs with finger Of flame on the sky
thought that the years cannot dim,

Catarrh is common disease-so com.

street. Your foot slips in these ncsty
discharges on the sidewalk and in the
public conveyance and its dlsagreeable

afflicted, renders them olfentive to their
associates. There is the highest medical
authority for stating that with fully one
half if not two.thirds Of those afflicted
