A Handsome Steamer.

The steamer Columbia, which is to
join the John A. Warner on the upper
Delaware passenger line, has just been
completed at the yards of the Harlan &
Hallingsworth Company, in this city.
This afternoon the machinery will be
tested, and on Monday the steamer
will go to Philadelphia and commence
regular trips.
The Columbia finished and is furnish
ed in the most elegant magnificent
style, far superior to any steamer on
the Delaware, and rivals the nose IA
nous floating palaces of the Hudson
river. The forward saloon is finished
in white, with fluted black walnut
columns, topped with Coriuthian gold
caps. The carpet is an American
Brussels, with a red body, in which
are mingled white, stene and yellow
tints. The furniture is Of the usual
character, upholstered in green plush,
and two divans add to the comfort and
attractions of the main saloon. All
the other departments are finished in
the same superb style,

" dich Shall II Take (?

This is often a serious question with
the invalid who finds the market flooded
with proprietary medicines, scores of
which are recommended as certain cure
for his peculiar ailment. He reads the
pamphlets, circulars and almanacs, and
finds each sustained by plausible argu.
ments setting forth its virtues and spe.
cific action. The recommendations are as
strong for one as for the other. The
cures claimed to have been wrought by
one are as wonderful as those claimed
to have been wrought by another. In his
perplexity and doubt, the sufferer il
sometimes led to reject all. But it should
be bourne in mind that this condition OF
things is one that cannot be- remedied
In land where all are free, the good
the truly valual le-must come into com.
petition with the vile and worthless, and
must be brought tc public notice by the
SANG instrumentalitJ, which is oduer.
tlSlng. In such q case, perhaps the only
absolute proof that remedy is what it
claims to be, is to try it. The "test Of a
pudding is the eating OF it," prove all
things, hold fast that which is good" is
the apostolic injunction. There may
however, be stronger presumptive evi.
dence in favor of one remedy than there is
in favor Of another, and this should be
allowed its due weight. A due regard ia
this may save vast amount of expert
menting and useless outlay of money.
AS presumptive evidence in favor of DR..
Pierce's Family Medicines, the Proprie-
tor desires to say, that they are prepared
by new and scientific process by which
the virtues of the crude plants and roots
are extracted without the use of parti-
Gle OF alcohol. Not particle of this
destroyer of our race enters into the CON-
position of either his Golden Medical
Discovery or Favorite Prescription. This
consideration alone ought certainly to
rank them high above the vile COM
pounds saturated with alcohol, Jamaica
rum sour beer, or vinegar, which are
everywhere offered for sale. Again, they
are of uniform strength, and their vir-
tues can never be impaired by age. They
are also made from fresh herbs and roots
gathered in their appropriate season,
when they are flush with medicinal pro-
perties. In support Of these claims, the
following testimony is offered:
r. V. Pierce, M. D.; Newark, N. j.,
Dear sir.-I have sold great deal Of
your excellent remedies, and l prefer to
sell them before others, because they

completely cured me; it is splendid
thing )" or, "Pierce's Discovery is just
what wanted; feel better than evel
did," One of our celebrated singers
uses it for strengthening her voice, and
says there is nothing equals it; and SO
| might give scores of remarks said about
your preparations. A colored woman
was using your Discovery, and after
taking three bottles was completely
cured. She, being in the store she sale
to me, " 1 don't want no doctors round

it beats all your doctors" And so

KELLOGG & co. VS.. ATTORNEY
GENERAL FIELD.
THE ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE
BERGL4RTzED LAST MONT.
Trail OF the Rebbers-Mr. Field Accuses
kellogg Il Co.

Some unknown parties burglarIousiy
entered the Attorney Generals Office
last night by pressing open the window
on the st. Louis street side
1t is evident, from the manner in
which the midnight prowlers went to
work, that they were not after worldly
gains, but valuable papers. The man
ner in which they left the room showed
that there must have been four men at
work, as there were four chairs in a
semi-circle, and in front of each chair
was bundle of the Attorney Gen
erals papers, which had evidently been
considered worthless by the thieves.
Every desk in the room had been priced
open with Jimmy, and their contents
thrown promiScuously ABOUT Splotches
of candle grease can be found on the
gallery and floor, showing the entrance
and exit of the marauders. At
torney General Field being inter
viewed by our reporter on the
subject, stated that this was the
fifth time that men had entered his
office for the purpose of stealing valua-
BILE papers, that two days before Clin-
tons trial took place his office was bur
glarized for the purpose of stealing val
liable papers, which, it was supposed,
he had in his possession; and that he
was convinced that this last
burglary was the work of Kel-
logg, his pimps, and his police,
as the belief is that he (the Attorney
GeneraD had been in secret correspond
ence with certain nameless powers,
either for their ruin or his gain, and
Kellogg was so afraid that some damn
ing evidence might reveal itself from
these papers, that he was determined to
DESTROY them even if his hirelingS had
to commit Il burglary.
What is the most astonishing part of
this business, and indicates that parties
having influence or authority with the
police were concerned in it, is the fact
that two policemen are detailed spe-
cially to guard the Attorney Generals
office.

Clue Who StiIi seeks
vengeance

The victims of the riot in the Southern
Republican Club of 9Th instant, and now
fresh feud seems to have broken out
between some OF its beligerent mem
bers, the facts Of which are as
near as we can get at them: Jas.
Walsh, who was one Of the most prom
inent actors in the Mechanics Insti-
tute riot, and it is alleged last night,
about IL o'clock, he met a fellow mem
Der of the club, named Robert Mogut,
letter carrier by occupation, and after
walking to the corner Of Rampant and
Lafayette streets, under the garb
Of friendship, drew revolver
and tried to launch his companion into
eternity, and came near gratifying his
murderous propensities, as the ball took
effect in his antagonists head just be-
hind the right ear. James Walsh then
made his escape.
The wounded man was conveyed to
the Charity Hospital, whore he was
attended by a student, Mr. Metcalf,
who pronounced the wound serious
though not necessarily fatal. The man
states that it was Walsh who shot him.
The accused, shortly after the perpetra-
tion OF the deed, was arrested by Officer
Smith and confined in the Central Sta
ton He was this morning arraigned
before Judge Evans, and remanded to
the Parish Prison to await the doctors
