g Driesbach, the lion tanner, died on
his Ohio farm on Wednesday, a poor
but contented man, of seventy years.
The newspapers are relating many an
ecdotes concerning him, and among
them is that of the exhibition in this
city twenty years ago, when, after
fight in a cage with tiger, he was taken
out covered with blood and apparently
dreadfully injured. There were shrieks
from the audience and much horror ex-
pressed, until physician announced
that his wounds were not dangerous.
Fer fortnight after, Driesbach appear
ed with his arm in sling and his face
covered with strips of plaster then it
was discovered that the wounds were
imaginary, the gore had come from
sponge filled with rose-pink, and the
whole performance was nothing but
clever piece of advertising.

ana uas finally Obliged To give up most desirable

For three wears afterwards was unable TO sing at
all. The fir attack of Catarrh had left my nasal
organs and throat SO sensitive that the sghte-t
cold would bring fresh attack leaving me
prostratcd In this way continued TO suffer. The
last attack, the severest ever had, WAS terrible.
| suffered the most excrnciating paia 10 my mead,
so hoarse as to be scarcely able to speak, and
cousLed necessarily. / thought was going into
quick consumption, and firmly believe that had
these tymptOms continued without relief they
wculd have rendered me an easv victim. When in
this distressin condition, commenced the use of
anfoid's Radical Cure for Catarh, very reluctant
ly, ceniess. as had Il led all the adser. sed r, m

derfn medicine gave me the greatest relief. L. is
hardly possible lor one whose head acnes, eyes

count of the choking accumulations n his throat
to realize how much ree obtained from the firs {

influence, both internal aud external rapidly

since have been entirely free from Catarrh for the
first time In Twelve years. Respectfully yours,

The opportunity Of the Administration

that he Is making little hsadway In the de-
sired direction ALI accounts agree that

bad feature Of the situation for the Re-
publicans is that they can no longer count
upon Philadelphia for It's old Republican ma
j0rity Of from 10000 TO 10000, and they will
probably not get any majority at ali here,
The local organization is broken into two dig
cordant factions, one led by Disston, and the
other by Rowan. The Mayor has directed
his police not to pay one dollar ofassessment,
and he seems disposed to let the election 20
by default. Those who are familiar with the
influence OF the police In city campaign will
appreciate the effect Of this indifferent atti-
tude this year. 1t is possible that the State
committee may pluck up courage, shake
off its lethargy and organize O.
brisk fortnight's canvass; but there are no
signs as yet Of such intention on their part,
except to issue q sonorous proclamation call
ing upon Republican voters to be true to their
party, which has reduced the State debt BY
some S27, 900, ,000 and has always been true to
its trusts. Senator Cameron, who, 1t will be
recollected, controlled the late convention.
might be expected to step In at this critical
juncture and make heroic effort to preserve
the old ascendancy Of the party; but it fs re-
ported here that he will husband his strength
and money for next year, when Legislature
is to be chosen. That Legislature will re-
elect Cameron or somebody In his place, and
his thoughts are naturally In that direction.
