The Nomination of Governor Morgan Creates
Great Enthusiasm.

~~~~~~~-'-3s~~@~~s
New York Times. Aug. cath. -
The reception Of the news in this
city Of Ex-Governor .Morgan''s nomina-
ton by the Republican convention at
Saratoga, created great enthusiasm.
and as soon as it was generally known
it was the all-absorbing topic of con.
versation. The Tammany-Hall politi-
tions were taken utterly by surprise,
and many of them were heard to re-
mark during the evening that the fight
would now certainly be q hard one,
and it would be indeed lucky for TIL
den if he did not loose the State. At
the various hotels, principally the
Fifth Avenue, crowds were collected
earnestly discussing the work of the
convention and the chances of the Re-
publican party, in the coming campaign.
It was generally conceded that Gov.
Morgan was the best choice that could
have been made. The Tammanyites
who were present in large numbers,
when spoken to concerning the nomin-
alton shook their heads and said they
would have been better satisfied, had
either Of the other candidates. been
successful. At the Union League Club
the greatest salts faction was expressed
as soon as it became known that Gov.
Morgan had been successful, and all
agreed in predicting sure defeat for
the Democratic party in the coming
contest. -=.st 81.

The Prussian Navy.

The necessity of a navy for Prussia
was first asserted in the chamber by
the minister of war in 1865. Without
it, he said, she could neither defend
her coasts nor protect German trade,
nor MAINTAIN and extend her European
influence. With the. strong common
sense which has done so much to make
Prussia great, Gen. Won Room dismissed
for the time the idea of making Prus.
STA maratime power of the first rank.
He only asked the means Of making
head, in case of necessity, against the
secondary powers of the. Baltic and
North sea.
The opposition in the chamber stead
lily refused tn grant the government
what they asked, but, in spite of their
resistance, the government went on
adding to the fleet, and Immediately
before the outbreak of the war with
Austria, it consisted of 40 steamers,
eight sailing vessels and SO rowing
gunboats, forming total of "a vessels,
carrying 400 guns and manned by l54
officers and l, 604 men. After the war
of 1865, all opposition to the will of
the government was at an end. Prus.
STA became possessed of two ironclads.
one originally laid down for the
Turkish government, the other con-
structed in France. In three years
these, two ironclads had increased to
six, and by 1872 to nine. f.,
| In 1873 the imperial government in
PRODUCED a scheme for the construction
OF a navy which would correspond
with the marvellous development
which the destinies of Prussia had un-
dergone. The ironclad fleet was to
consist of eight frigates, six corvettes,
seven monitors and two batteries. Of
unarmored ships there were to be 90
corvettes, six dispatch vessels, Is gun.
boats, and % torpedo vessels, by last
autumn six out of the eight .frigates,
four out of the six ironclad corVettes
and 10 out of the 20 unarmored cor
vettes were ready for sea. They rep.
resent an effective fleet more than
equal to an equal number of vessels in
the service of any other power, be.
cause they have been built with all
the recent improvements, instead of
being, as so many French and English
ships really are, mere compromises
between one type Of a vessel and an.
other '~g a. -

Many who are suffering from the ef~
fects OF the warm weather and are debilitat-
ed, are advised by physicians to take moder
ate amounts OF whisky two or three times
during the day. In little while those who
adopt this advice frequently increase the
mum her Of ''drinks," and in time become
confirmed inebriates. A beverage which will
not create thirst for Intoxicating liquors, and
which is intended especially for the benefit Of
debilitated persons, whether at home or
abroad, is DR.. Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic,
Containing the juices ofmany medical herbs,
this preparation does not create an appetite
for the Intoxicating cup. The nourishing and
the nte-supporting properties ofmany valuable
natural productions contained in it and well
known to medical men have most strength
ening influence. A single bottle Of the Tonic
will demonstrate its valuable qualities. For
debility arising from sickness, over exertion
or from any cause whatever, wine glass full
OF Sea Weed Tonic taken after meals will
strengthen the stomach and create an appe-
tite for wholesome food. To all who are
about leaving their homes, we desire to say
that the excellent effects of DR.. Schencks
seasonable remedies, Sea Weed Tonic, and
Mandrake Pills, are particularly evident when
taken by those who are injuriously affected
by change Of water and diet. No person

The Sullivan anford Tragedy In Chicago.

~. =.
The recent Sullivan. Hanford trag-
edy, in Chicago, which resulted in the
death of the latter, has been the sub.
ject of discussion by the press, PUBLIC,
and pulpit for more than two weeks
past. In Chicago it has, indeed, to all
appearances, assumed a partisan as
pect.. Great credence was given by
the public to one witness, McMullen,
as to the conversation said to have &C.
CURED between him and Mrs. Sullivan
at the carriage, at the scene Of the
tragedy. McMullen's statement is to
the effect that Mrs. Sullivan said that
her husband chad come for satisfac-
ton, and Hanford would be lucky if he
escaped with his whole hide. ''N1rs.
Sullivan is willing to swear that she
never used such language. Her hus-
band had come to get note of retrac.
ton, not to get satisfaction, declares
Mrs. Sullivan. Mrs. Sullivan has been
spoken of rs q lady known as remark
able ''f0r the beauty and purity of her
language and the charity of her life.''
Her friends will never believe that she
has called any one a dog-however
great her provocation. McMullen is a
man whose record is not above suspic-
ion. A question of veracity has been
raised between him and the wife of
Sullivan, and the courts will have to
decide the question. McMullen was
some time ago charged with being i'm
plicated in the Illinois State Insurance
frauds and with being mixed up in
the Canada Credit Mobilier steal. Nc.
Mullen was great partisan of Han
ford's in his fight on the school board,
and naturally his sympathies are with
the deceased.
But to return to the scene of the
tragedy and the investigation into the
circumstances attending it. There is
evidence that Mrs. Sullivan went there
as a peace-maker. got out of the Car.
rlage and begged that there be no dis.
turbance, and when Sanford refused to
make PREPARATION, Mrs. S. said: 'sFor
Gods sake, Aleck, don't hurt him."
After that Hanford dealt her blow
upon her face. This is one side of the
story, and it is about as probable as
the other. Sullivan was led to believe
by exaggerated stories about the CON-
munication read that it was an outra-
geous and villanous, assault upon his
wife's character, that it even contain
ed reference to some @smalicious i'm.
plication'' between Mrs. Sullivan and
Mayor Golvin. Who with a spirit of
respectable manhood in his compost.
ton. believing his wife innocent, would
not have become excited and demand.
ed a retraction !! The truth of the
matter is that people Informed Han.
ford of certain matters which he told,
and to shield them he refused to make
any reparation to Sullivan. The pas
sions Of both were, reused to high
pitch, Su]livan's temper being espec.
tally so, and it was a mad fit that made
him aim the fatal blow which ended
the existence of Hartford. There are
certainly two sides to this tradgedy.
But before both sides are made known
and all the facts considered, it would
seem but just that public sentiment
should be impartial, and judgment
upon the man who slew Hanford should
be suspended. E.

Modern Women.

It is sad commentary upon our
boosted civilization that the women of our
times have degenerated in health and pills.
ique until they are literally a race Of invalids
pale, nervous, feeble and back-achy, with
only here and there few noble exceptions in
the persons of the robust, buxom ladies' char
acteristic Of the sex in days gone by. By a
very large experience, covering period of
years, and embracing the treatment of many
thousands Of cases Of those ailments peculiar
to Women, DR.. Pierce, OF the Worlds Dis
pensary, Buffalo, N. Y, has perfected, by the
combination Of certain vegetable extracts, a
natural specific, which he does not extol as a
cure-all, but one which admirably fulflls q
singleness Of purpose, being a most positive
und reliable remedy for those weaknesses and
complaints that aff1ict the women of the pres
ent day. This natural specific compound is
called DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. The
following. are among those diseases in which
this wonderful medicine has worked cures as
If by magic and with certainty never before
attained by any medicines: Weak back, ner-
vous and general debility, falling and other
displacements Of internal organs, resulting
from debility and lack Of strength in natural
supports, internal fever, congestion, intlam-
nation and liberation and very many other
chronic diseases incident to women, not pro-
per to mention here, in which, as well as in
the cases that have been enumerated, the
Favorite Prescription effects cure-the marvel
OF the world. It will not do harm in any
state or condition of the system, and by
adopting its use the invalid lady may avoid
that severest Of ordeals-the consulting Of a
family physician. Favorite Prescription is
sold by dealers in medicines generally.
