Every moment of delay makes your cure
more hopeless, and much depends on the judi
cious choice Of remedy. The amount OF tes-
timony In favor Of DR.. Schenck's Pulmonic

can be brought to support the pretensions of
any other medicine. See DR.. Schenck's AL

been restored to health, after being pronounce

A Very Mean Man.

The Lewistown (Me) Journal relates
the following: Recently man came
into one of our clothing stores of
Saturday evening and said he wanted to
buy pair of black pantaloons suitable
for funeral occasion, as his mother had
died. The man examined the pantaloons
and asked permission to take them
home to try them on. Permission was
granted, and the next Monday the man
returned the trowsers, saying they didn't
exactly suit. But he had wore them at
his mothers funeral the day before"

AnecdOte Of Washington.


II has often been remarked of WASH
ington, that no one was ever in his
presence without being strongly i'm
pressed by reverence for his dignity.
But it seems by the following anecdote,
that at least there was one exception:
"When the President was procuring
the ground for the city which was to be
the seat of government, he had but
little difficulty in obtaining the necessary
releases, except in one instance. Mr..
James Byrnes was the owner of a lot or
tract, which ii was advisable should he
includedin the plan. The General had
various conferences with Mr.. B., who
was very obstinate, and resisted all the
reasoning and persuasions of the great
man. Indignant at being thus opposed,
Washington turned upon him with in
dignation, and said with great severity,
'Mr. Byrnes, what would your land have
been worth If had not placed this city
on the Potomac p Byrnes was undis-
mayed, and cody turned to him and
said, George Washington, what would
you have been worth If you had not
married the Widow Custiss' "

ga One of the most extraordinary
judicial errors on record was rectified in
the first week of this year in Bristol,
England. A man named Lewes had
been convicted on a charge of stealing
books. A few days later it was found
that the Grand Jury had failed to find
true bill against him, and had ignored
the charge for want of evidence. Never
theless the magistrate had convicted
him, although he had not even been in
dicted, and when the order arrived for
his release, he had been closed cropped
and dressed in convict uniform. Lewes
threatens an action for damages, but
his chance of redress probably depends
largely upon his pecuniary means.

NEW YORK.
A Tribute to Halleck.

New York, May 15.-The ceremony
of unveiling the statue of Fitz Greene
Halleck, in Central Park, took place
this afternoon, before q large assembly,
including the President. The Seventh
Regiment, Veteran corps, was received
by the President and Gen. Sherman
from the stoop of Gen. Wilson's house.
At the close of the review the process
sion was formed to march to the site of
the statue. The column proceeded
down Fifth Avenue to Seventy-sec-
ond street entrance to Central Park,
and then along the drive way to the
Mall. After music, VIM. Cullen Bryant
invoked silence and made q short ad-
dress, and introduced the President.
President Hayes then unveiled the
statue, which had been covered with
the national colors and, in a few words,
made the presentation. A poem, writ
ten for the occasion by John G. Whit
tier, was read, in his absence, by Gen.
James Grant Wilson, an intimate
friend of Mr.. Halleck. VIM. Allen
Butler delivered an address and after
several patriotic airs, the exercises were
closed.
The President and some prominent
guests were then escorted in carriages
down Fifth Avenne to the hotel by the
military organizations.
The sidewalks and windows along
the route were crowded with spectators.
The following is President Hayes
address: "Mayor Ely, The honorable
and very agreeable duty has devolved
on me, ON behalf of the subscribers to
the Halleck statue, to present, through
you, to the city of New York, this now

THE Rev. Father Francis Xavier
Tschenhens died in Baltimore on the
morning of the 10th, in the 10th year
Of his age. Deceased was the founder
Of the Redemptorist order in America.
He was a native of Wurtenburg, Ger
many, and first came to America in
1882, to establish missions, the first of
which he organized at Green Bay, Wis
coasin; Rochester, New York; Pitts
burg and Baltimore. On Sunday last,
the fiftieth anniversary Of the lalliance
OF Father Tschenhens with the Re-

TELEGRAPHIc TICKS.

The French residents of Cairo and
Alexandria have asked the government
to station a frigate in the Egyptian
port, because of the excitement Of the
Mussulman population.
A dispatch to the Freedman's Jour-
nal, of New York, from Rome says:
Bishop Gibbons, of Richmond, has been
named as coadjutor of the Archbishop
of Baltimore, with the right of sue
cession.
The collections of Internal revenue
for the fiscal year, to date, is $40. $780,
09S. Commissioner Raum entertains
the opinion that the aggregate returns
for the fiscal year will be fully up to the
estimate.
The London Times says nothing has
been SO remarkable during the debate
in Parliament as the declarations in
favor of Peace from Conservatives as
well as Liberals. The war party finds
itself in small minority.
A letter from the Polish Count Ladis-
las denies that any preparation has
been made for an inSurrection. He
says any such movement now would
only promote the views of the enemies
of Poland, whose hour of deliverance
has not yet struck.
The secretary of war has notified
disbursing officers that there will be no
funds available for the purchase of sup

Congress shall have had time to act

contracts themselves, will state that
the PAYMENT depends upon the future
appropriation.

THE President seems to be as indie
fatigable in his efforts to make himself
popular with the people of this country
as Albert Edward, Prince of Wales,
does on the other side of the water, with
his English subjects, in the matter of
being present at any importanr cere-
mony. The other day Mr.. Hayes was
present at the opening of the Philadel-
phia Exposition, taking active part in
the ceremonies. Tuesday, as will be seen
by our dispatches, he was present at
the unveiling of the statue of Fitz
Greene Halleck, in Central Park, New
York, officiating in person and making
the presentation speech to Mayor Ely,
who replied on behalf of the city. We
are glad to see that the President evin-
ces desire to please in matters of this
kind, and feel assured that this occa-
sional unbending from the dignity that
doth hedge him about in Washington,
will do him no harm with the people,
but, on the contrary, will have ten
dency to make him if anything more
popular among all classes, irrespective
of politics.

NEW YORK has had her carnival,
and if we must believe the dispatches
relating to it, and there is no reason
that we should not do so, she has dis
tanced New Orleans, her great rival in
these affairs, and brought it to some
thing nearly akin to the carnivals of
Rome and Paris. Perusing the tele-
graphic account of the same sends us
back into those halcyon days of the past,
when the "Co,c-bellions, and the
",Strykers,' of Mobile and New
Orleans, were the standard features of
the Christmas and New Year weeks.
There are those who are among us to-
day who remember these institutions of
the South with pleasure, and no doubt
there are some among us now who were
members of one or the other of these
societies, and took an active part in the
pageantry and pomp of the occasion.
New York was all excitement and full
of the inspiration Of the hour, and held
high carnival indeed.

Preparing for the Mormon Rebellion.

The arming and drilling of the Nor
mons still continues throughout Utah.
The Gentiles, especially those in the
northern and southern settlements, are
greatly alarmed at this state of affairs,
especially as there are so few United
States troops in Utah at present. There
are fourteen companies at Camp Doug
lass, which overlooks Salt Lake City,
and fragment of a regiment occupies
Camp Cameron, near Beaver. A ghost
of a company haunts Fort Hall, in
Idaho. Gov. Emery has written a
letter to the Secretary of War, which
will reach Washington Thursday or
Friday, requesting that Camp Douglass
be provided with five compnies of in
fantry and two of cavalry; that Camp
Cameron shall have two full companies
of infantry; that one infantry company
shall be quartered at st. George; that
another shall be sent to Logan valley,
and that the company at Fort Hall
shall be retained and reinforced. 1t is
to be hoped that the Secretary of War
will furnish these blue-coats at once,
whose presence here would do much to
allay apprehensions of capitalists and
families who are very much alarmed.
