RUBBEE AND CAPEINE.

There Is scarcely branch OF human indus.
try in which India Rubber has not in some
form found Its way. Although widely known
and used, but few are aware OF its medicinal
virtues and great curative properties. Prac-
tical experiment has proven that it is a natur-
al reservoir Of electricity, containing more
than any known substance or compound
Owing to this fact 1t has been used with sue
cess in curing Nervous complaints and Rheu-
metism that were invulnerable to drugs.
1t has also been discovered that India Rub
Der possesses all the properties valuable as
a aspe ifc for Pulmonary complaints and cures
many forms Of Consumption and Lung dis
eases. Combined with Capcine it is unparal.
leled as Pain Relieyer. whether external
or internal. Nearly all the Surgeons have
adopted it on account o' its great healing
properties.
The most efIectuai way of using the article
is in the form OF perforated plaster. The
extensive use Of Ordinary Peri0I ated or Por-
GUS Plasters, is a testimony TO its merit.
dinary Rubber Porous Plaster is that it acts
too slowly-requiring days and continuous
wear to relieve pam or to effect a cure.
A celebrated Physician OF New York, who
Eas long made the medical properties of Rub
ber study has succeeded in making grea
improvement in Porous Plaster by inl roduc
ing Capcine, which overcomes all the former
objections, causing the Plaster to do in
few moments or hours. that which IT former
ly required days or weeks.
Capcine is the most valuable ingredient
ever used as an eXternalremedy. ItOperates
with astonishing viRorand relieves pain inn
mediately. Its curatiy e properties have be-
come 80 famous that anenterprisng firm in
New York took 1t in hand. and by bringing
Capcme Plaster TO the attention OF Physi-
cians, have met with unprecedented success.
The article is known as BhNSON'S CAP
CINE PLASTER. The price Ia the same as

DOdging a Difficulty.

The President has decided not to sign
the Sundry Civil bill now before him,
but to allow it to become law without
his signature, which it will do in ten
days if not vetoed. The time will ex-
pire next Monday. His reasons for this
are that there are some things in the
bill which he does not approve Of, but
the bill that he has decided to let it be-
come law. 1t will be remembered that
in one of his messages the President
wanted an amendment to the Constitu-
tion allowing the President to approve
such portions Of an act of Congress as he
saw land disapprove such as did not

THE BLUE RAYS OF THE sun

GEN. PLEAsoNroN's EXPERIMENTS ON AMI
MAILS AND vRaETABLEs.
Gen. A, J. Pleasonton, of this city, az
is generally known, has been experiment
ting for years on the influence of the
blue color of the sky, in developing ami
NAL and vegetable life. A recent dis
course of his on the subject, before the
Agricultural Society of this city, has Just
been published, and certainly records
some surprising results.
The experiments were begun in 1881,
with alternating strips OF clear glass and
blue glass in the construction of large
cold grapery, on his farm in this city, In
April of the same year, the General plan
ted grapevine cuttings, Of twenty varie-
ties, in the borders inside and outside of
the grapery--those on the outside being
trained inside through earthen pipes in
the walls. The blue glass constituted
only one strip in every eight of the whole
tho General fearing that greater por-
tion would decrease the necessary amount
of heat.
every soon, he says the vines began
toattract great notice Of all whosaw them
from 1.-THE rapid growth they were ma
king" and he adds:
every day disclosed some new extern
sion, and the gardener was kept busy in
tying up the new wood which the day
before he had not observed. In u few
weeks after the vines had been planted
the walls and inside of the roof were
closely covered with the most luxrious
and healthy deVelopement of foliage and
wood. In the early part of September,
1861, Mr.. Robert BUST, senior, q noted
scotsman and distinguished horticultu-
rist, from whom | had procured the vines,
having heard Of their wonderful growth,
visited the grapery. On entering it he
seemed to be lost in amazement at what
he saw. After examining it very care
fully, turning to me he said: General
have been cultivating plants and vines
of various kinds for the last forty years ;
l have seen some Of the best vines and
conservatories in England and Scotland,
but have never seen anything like this
growth. He then measured some of
the vines and found them forty-fve feet
in length, and an inch in diameter at the
distance of one foot above the ground, /,
and these dimensions were the growth of
only five months
Encouraged by these results, the Gen.
eral then began experimenting as to the
effect OF the blue rays on animal life, and
the success was lot less surprising. il

that had been pronounced incurable.
Under the blue rays he grew suddeniy
strong; developed great appetite, and
at the age of four months, was turned
loose among the herd full grown and vig-
orous.
Tho Hartford Times, in review of the
Generals volume, says: "ln his sug-
gestions concerning the restorative pow
er OF blue light, he may have called pub
lie attention to an important matter.

ments with neuralgia, sciatica, rheuma-

The civil service goes on improving

bogus senator from that state after he
had been left at home by his constitu-

COUNCIL PowERLEss TO CoNTINUs IT
AFTER THE PRESENT FUNDS ARB Kx
HAUsTRD -oPINIoN OF THE CITY So
LClToR.
AT the meeting of City Council, last
evening, the Law Committee, who had
been instructed to prepare an ordi-
nance authorizing the issue of CITY
warrants, to pay for the completion Of
the reservoir, reported in lieu thereof
the opinion OF the City Solicitor on
the subject.
The opinion, after stating that the
funded debt of the city shall not be
increased except by the authority of
the Legislature, and that only in case
of loss or injury to the City Hall or
the Water Works can an exception be
made TO this law, proceeds to recite
the acts of Legislature by which the
loans for the benefit OF the Water
Department (amounting to 1896. .OO0)
were made. 1t then says:
Pursuant to the said acts of the
General Assembly, and ordinance of
the City Council, the full amount Of
1895, 600 has been borrowed on the
faith and credit of the city, for the
construction of the Cool Spring Re-
servoir. When this amount shall have
been expended, the City Council will
be without authority, except by act of
the Legislature to be hereafter obtain
ed, to increase the funded debt of the
city for the construction and compile.
tion of the Cool Spring Reservoir and
the work provided for in said acts of
Assembly. The issuing of bonds, war
rants, or whatever mode may be resor-
ted to to increase the said debt of the
city, without authority from the LIE,
gislature, is In direct violation of the
express provisions of the City Charter
above referred to.
For these reasons, to me conclusive,
without adverting to others, am of
the opinion that City Council cannot,
without authority from the Legislature
legally direct by ordinance or other
wise the drawing of warrants on The
City Treasurer, whereby the funded
debt of the city will be increased.
AS to the authority of Council in
general to make orders or warrant
issued on the City Treasurer. and in
particular when by act of the Legisla-
ture the funded debt of the city may
be increased, / beg leave to refer to
the able opinion of VIM. G. Spruance,
Esq, when City Solicitor, under date
of Nov. 9th, 1878.
Very respectfully,
WALTER CUMMlNs,
City Solicitor.
Mr: Taylor moved to adopt the re-
port.
Mr., Farrell moved to amend by &C.
cepting the report, as he thought
the adoption would prevent Council
from taking any measures TO complete
thekreservoir, He thought this was an
extraordinary occasion, and that means
might be devised to continue the
work. He did not deem it actually
imperative on Council to be guided
by the advice of City Solicitor, as
there was a higher law than that fur.
nished by the Law Committee and the
City Solicitor. The charter and ordi-
nances had been strained on previous
occasions. and it would not harm to
strain little now.
Mr.. FarrelPs motion to amend was
not seconded, and the motion to adopt
prevailed.
Mr., Farrell voted No.
