St Aloyslus Parish.

st. Aloysius' parish, in its church, cduca-
tional and charitable institutions, seems to
lead the other churches of that faith in the
march of improvements, and in so doing adds
greatly to that already thickly settled aud
growing neighborhood around the Government
Printing Office. Beside she elaborate and
chaste Improvements to this, now beautiful,
church, consisting of the painting of the ex-
terror, the granting of the wood work of the
interior, and an entire new set of handsome
stained glas. windows, an eighteen thousand
dollar school-house for the girls is now more
than half way completed, and bids are out for
the improvement and enlargement, by the re-
modelling OF the back building and the addi-
ton Of a new wing to extend towards and al
most join the new school building of the In
dustrial Home, corner of North Capitol and K
streets, in charge of the Sisters of Notre
Dame. This institution was started nearly
four years ago, under the immediate patron
age OF Mrs. General Sherman, and q colony OF
the good Sisters from their home in Notre
Dame, Indiana, placed in charge. The main
object Of its foundress was to provide work for
poor women, as well as the training of young
females in industrial pursuits, besides their
moral education, and so successful has the
undertaking been that the accommodations
are entirely inadequate for the purpose. At
present there are ten Sisters In the house, and
the contemplated improvements will give
them the additional room they so much need,
and the expense is to be chiefly borne by the
sisters themselves.

Worth Knowing,

For nearly thirty years there was no i'm
provement in plasters, until Benson's Capcine
Porous Plasters were invented. Necessity is,
indeed, the mother of invention. The ordinary
porous plaster has been found to act too slow,
days and weeks of continuous wear being re-
quired to bring relief and cure. The discovery
of cepcine has been of great value to medicine,
and to the people an incalculable boon.
Capcine operates with astonishing vigor
upon disease, brings immediate relief, and
cures quicker than any known plaster, lini-
ment or compound. Capcine lie superior to
electricity, and more certain; it strikes the
root of disease. 1t is purely vegetable. Ben
sons Capcine Porous Plasters are perfectly
free from metallic or mineral poisons. They
do not blister, and are indorsed by over two
thousand physicians and druggists of excellent
reputation. They differ from the ordinary
porous plaster in giving instant relief to the
sufferer, and insuring positive and prompt
cure. Price twenty-five cents.

q Movement to Displace Gen. S. F. Carey from
the Tcket

the Ticket
The National Labor Council met last night
at No. 1000 street, P. N. Poselyn, esq, of
Louisiana, in the chair; A. 8. Hurd, of Georgia,
secretary pro ten. Among the resolutions
unanimously passed are the following:
Resolred, That this council, representing the
"United Workingmen, recommend a recon-
sideration OF the action of the national execu-
tive committee of the Independent party in
placing the name of Hon. s. F. Carey upon
the ticket for Vice President, and that his
name be withdrawn.
ReSolU1d, That associated with the name of
Peter Cooper, representative workingman,
will give possibility and probability of success.
Resolved, That we pledge our undivided sup
port to truly peoples candidate, suited and
consistent with our declaration "That ours is
the peoples party"
ResoIced, That in Peter Cooper we find
perfect type of the great citizenship of the
Republic good and a great man-but be-
eve Hon. s. F. Carey is too heavy q weight
to allow success being attained.
Col. Capers' views, as above shown, were
approved, and names that would be acceptable
as a candidate for Vice President were sug-
gested as follows: Hon. r. F. Trevallick, A.
Z. Redstone, Hon. Alex. Campbell and Hon.
Franklin Lanfers.
After other important business the council
adjourned.
