The People Want Proof.

There is no medicine prescribed by
physicians, or sold by Druggists, that
carries such evidence of it's success and
superior virtue as BosCHEE's GERMAN
SYRUP for severe Coughs, Colds settled
on the Breast, Consumption, or any dis
ease of the Throat and Lungs. A proof
of that fact is that any person afflicted
can get Sample Bottle for 10 cents and
try its superior effect before buying the
regular size at IS cents. 1t has lately
been introduced in this country from
Germany. and its wonderful cures are
astonishing everyone that use it. Three
doses will relieve any case. Try it.

HISTORICAL INCIDENTS.
THE SIGNERs OF THE DECLARATION OF
INDEPENDENCE.

There were fiity-six of the signcrs of
the Declaration of independence. Of
these twenty-four were lawyers, fourteen
farmers, nine merchants, four physicians,
four preachers and one mechanic. But
ton Gwinnet and Robert Morris were ma
tives of England, Francis Lewis of Wales
James Smith, George Taylor and Mat
thew Thornton, of Ireland, and James
Wilson and John Witherspoon, of Scot
land. All but nine lived to witness the
accomplishment OF independence.
Three of them were over 80 years Of
age when they died; ten over so; eleven
over 70; fourteen over 60; eleven over
so, and six over IA. Thomas Lynch, of
South Carolina, was the youngest of the
signers, and was lost at sea ut 80 years of
age. Benjamin Franklin was the oldest
man in the congress, being 70 years of
age when it met.
The first new States added to the old
thirteen were Vermont, Kentucky and
Tennessee.
The number of troops sent to America,
during the revolution, by Great Britain,
was one hundred and twelve thousand
five hundred and eighty-four of the land
forces and twenty-five thousand seamen.
The last surviving soldier of the British
troops sent to America, died in New York
in 1852, aged over one hundred years.
His name was John Battin.
John Adams was the first minister to
England after independence, and he was
received with demonstration of respect.
The debts of the States. incurred for
the war, were unequal, and in January,
1890, the general government assumed
| all foreign and domestic Indebtedness OF
the States.
In 1890 the import duties. were first
collected, and an act was passed making
the District, of Columbia the permanent
seat of government, after the lapse of ten
years from that date, and in the summer
of 1900 the seat of the federal govern
ment was removed to Washington, Dis
trict of Columbia.
The famous society of the Cincinnati
was organized little before the disband-
ing of the revolutionary army, on June
the 10Th, 1883, at Newburgh. on the
Hudson river, at the headquarters Of the
Baron Steuhen, and Washington was
elected president of the society. Baron
Steuben wore in the breast of his uniform,
during the revolutionary war, the decora.
tions of honor conferred on him by Fred.
erick the Great-Southcrn Rcreille.

Judge Lochranc on Oregon.

We were present yesterday when the
question came up about the vote for Mr..
filden in Oregon. A gentleman who
was present recited the mode by which
Senator Sherman, as President of the
Senate, would take up the package con-
tanning the vote of that Stale under the
seals Of the Governor and Secretary of
State, and would recognize the vote for
Hayes and Wheeler by the electors with
out certificates and would declare him
elected. The Judge was appealed to if
this could be done? His reply impressed
US as the utterance of prophecy. "If,"
said he, ."such shameless and mon.
strous outrage was attempted, it would be
the Inauguration of war in the Senate
chamber. The uncertified votes from
Oregon have not even the legal pretext
of the Democratic electors from Florida,
South Carolina and Louisiana for Tilden
and Hendricks, and which the American
people would give, on investigator, to the
men who were honestly elected. If the
Catalines of the republic dared the ac-
complishment of an act of such political
indecency as that proposed, the cry of
shame would echo through every corri-
dor of the capitol, and the hands of hon
est Senators would drag such miserable
miscreant and assassin of public liberty
from his seat. Our government" said
the Judge, "is government of law, and
not the theatre Of armed contest. The
people demand peace, and will, under
the law, put up, as they have done in
South Carolina, with the infiction of the
most unblushing injustice. But if you
ask me-" said the Judge, "if the peoples
representative in the Senate would sit
silent and see the unauthenticated act of
sovereign State ignored, and the vote
of.self.constituted electors without official
recognition picked up and read in its
place, my solemn opinion is, that the up
lifted hand that rebuked the act would
be clinched. and the mouth that uttered
the political lie would soon be closed
oh, no" said the Judge, with smile, II
look for no such act. The situation is
dark, but the future will not let down
such drapery of shame upon its history.
We are fevered, it is true, but we are not
delirious. We will not walk in the path
of the law, and submit to the law, but we
will have no emperors or kings by the
grace of God to rule over Us" To the
remark that Grant might yet be emperor,
he replied: "He would be the. smallest
thing that ever lived in mockery of q
king.@ - -

A MAGNIFICENT OFFERING.

TO HIS Majesty Ksng George:
With unbounded joy I announce to
Your Majesty that have discovered the
monuments which the tradition related
by Pausanius indicates as the tombs Of
Agamemnon, Cassandra, Eurymedon and
their companions who were killed while
feasting at banquet by Clytemnestra
and her lover Egisthus.
These tombs are surrounded by dou-
BILE parallel circle, with tablets undoubt-
edly erected in honor of the victims. In
these tombs 1 have found immense arch
geological treasures and numbers of arti-
cles Of pure gold
The treasure alone is sufficient to fill a
large museum, and the most splendid in
the world. In succeeding ages / am sure
it will attract to Greece thousands of
strangers from abroad. As / am laboring
simply for the love of science waive all
claim tc the treasure, and offer it, with
intense enthusiasm, entirely to Greece.
Sire, may these treasures, with Gods
blessing, become the corner stone of an
immense national wealth.
