The CABINET ALL CONFIRMED

WASHINGTON, March l0.-The senate
in executive session confirmed all the
cabinet nominations by nearly aunanimous
vote in each case.
WASHINGTON, March 1O.-The vice
president presented communication from
.Wm. Orton requesting the return of about
10000 messages delivered to the chairman
OF the elections committee 10 accordance
with the senate's order. The senate then
went into executive session.
WASHINGTON, March l0.-As soon
as the senate went into executive session
to day the various cabinet nominations
were 10 turn reported back accompanied in
each case with unanimous recon-
mendations for confirmation. A motion
was then made to take up the nomination
OF David NJ Key as post master general for
immediate action. A single objection
would haye prevented action upon it to
day but no objection was interposed and
the vote upon the question of confirming
was taken by yeas and nays and resulted

the opposition to the remaining nomina-
tons and no further opposition was made
against any of them beyond the demand

| Evarts. The vote on SehurZ's nomiua-
ton was A for confirmation and against.
| The vote on EVarts' S nomination was about
the same, Quite a number of senators on
both sides abstained from voting and the
few negative votes in each instance were
cast by Democrats. Senator Cameron, OF
| Pennsylvania, voted for Evarts, Schurl
and Key, remarking that his vote fol
Evarts was under what he regarded as tht
instructions of his committee-foreign re
lations which had instructed him to re

The news of the confirmation was re

The Season OF Inflammation.

The cold, piercing winter storms are as
destructive of human life as any of the
terrible epidemic diseases, the fist appear
ance of which in a community strikes
terror in the heart of the most brave, As
cold weather in winter is unavoidable, it
creates little alarm, although its injurious
effects on the health of adult persons are
worse than those of the hottest season Of
the year Think of the late Mayor Have
meyer, Of New York, who, with a robust
constitution, and notwithstanding his ad-
vanced age enjoying excellent health, was
killed outright by two hours, exposure
to a chilly November storm. Sudden
| deaths from this cause, it is true, are ex-
| ceptional but inflammatory diseases result
| from it very frequently, and they but too
often prove fatal to the patient. 1t is well
known that pneumonia, inflammation OF
the brain, inflammation of the bowels, in.
| fammation of the lungs, etc, are most
dangerous diseases. and that, to save the
| life of the patient, it is of the utmost in-
portance TO arrest them in their first stage
as in their latter stages they will battle the
skill Of the most eminent physicians, whlls
in their incipient state they are promptly

An Extraordinary Discovery at Mt
Vernon.


Vernon.
Washington (Fe6. I5) Correspondence of the San
Francisco chronsele.
We visited Washington's tomb to-day
at Mount Vernon, Va, some twelve miles
from this city down the Potomac, and we
had the unusual privilege Of beholding the
mortal remains of the immortal Washing
ton. Visitors to the tomb will remember
that the west wall of the same has for
several years been in a fallen condition
aud in great need of repair. A few days
since part of it tumbled into the tomb,
completely covering the sarcophagus of
Washington, and also that of Martha
Washington. In order to repair the dam
age in competent manner, it was found
necessary to remove them few feet from
their resting placc. The one containing
the remains of Martha Washington was
removed first, but attracted no attention,
But the unusual weight of the one con-
tanning the remains of Washington
aroused the curiosity of the official who
was experimenting the work of removal,
and it was decided to open the sarcopha-
gus in order to ascertain the cause
This was done. and the remains were

stone resembling statue, the features
perfectly natural, with the exception Of
eyes and ears, no trace of which can be
seen. The body is of dark leathery
color, and may be said to be soft sand
stone, which would likely break should
an attempt be made to remove it from the
sarcophaguS. Edward Baker, an aged
colored man, who has resided upon the
farm since he was boy. and who assisted
in removing the remains from the old
t9mb to the present one, informs US that
it is thirty eight years since their last re-
moval At that time they had rested ir
the old tomb thirty eight years, and were
exhumed in state Of preservation be
yond all expectation, being a solid com
pact mass, with the skin drawn tightly tt
the bones, petrifaction no doubt having
commenced its work The repairs to the
tomb will be completed to-day and tn,
sarcophagus is not likely to be opened
again for century to come, unless, in
deed. in the case Of an accident, as in the
present instance, and petrifcation will
complete its work, and the remains of TIL
Immortal Washington will then be as en-
during as his memory is dear.
