Catarrh in its extent and destructive force stands
next to Consumption, and is closely allied TO it ;
for in certain constitutions the transitions from
to the other is only question of time. IL is there
fore singular thing that those afflicted with it
should not make il the object OF their lives to rid
themselves Of it. single bottle OF any remedy
cannot, in the chronic rtage, effect cure, even
bring the system under its influence fully. In
many such cases the bones and cartilage of the
nose are eaten away, the organs Of hearing of see
ing, and of tasting, affected to be rendered
useless, lhe uvulva SO nlongated and infamed to
produce constant and distressing cough. The re-
turn to health must necessarily be slow, under the
most favorable circumstances. when seriously af
fcted; but the evidence of its great value daily
comes to hand, we become more and more satisfied
that there does not exist case of Catarrh that

QUEBEC, April 2S,-At meeting of the
city council last night the resolutions
adopted at public meeting the previous
evening were presented condemning the
different committees of the corporation for
extravaganza and also for determination
to reduce the police force The passages of
the city hall and galleries were packed with
people who began disturbance and the
police becoming powerless the militia
were called out The mob forced its way
into the council chamber compelling
the mayor to adjourn the meeting
hastily. The rioters then took
complete possession, upsetting stoves and
chairs, aud doing all the mischief in their
power A double alarm of fire was
sounded and the fire apparatus was run
out TO divide the attention of the mob, but
without effect, Stone throwing was then
commenced, and the windows demolished
after which the mob dispersed.

The War on Hayesism Will Begin Early
and Last Long.

From the ". ], Herald.
WASHINGTON, April 26.-The approach
ing extra session of congress, of which
there is now little or no question, is the
subiecs of fresh discussion here. 1t ex-
cites widespread speculation as to its
character. the general impression being
that it will be attended with a most lively
political contest, which will throw the ap-
preparation bills in the shade, and preclpi-
tate the fight with the administration
which the Republican barons have been
threatening to make. In calling the extra
session so soon, instead of deferring it un-
til the next fiscal year has begun, or say
until August or September, the president
is likened to the Swiss peasant in the gorge
of the Alps who insisted on whistling, and
thereby brought down upon himself the
dreaded avalanche. The widest predic-
tions are made as to the course the anti
administration Republicans will take. 1t
is even said that they will GO so far as to
endorse resolution questioning the pres
ident's title, aud that they will give what
help they can to facilitate proceedings
under writ of quo warranto, should Mr..
| Tilden choose to revive and try the issue
il that shape, Report has it that another
conspicuous and influential senator has
thrown down the gauntlet to the president
and will range himself with Senator Blaine
in the expected battle on the floor of the
senate. On the other hand, Mr.. Hayes il
assured that for every detection of this
kind, on account of his policy toward tht
south. he gains five adherents from amons
conservative democrats.

On Friday last, the Republicans had
a time of rejoicing. The band turned
out in the afternoon and made the air
melo 'ious with triumphant music. In
the evening, fireworks were in order,
and the air was full of roman candles,
rockets and Democratic cusses, knock
ed 'higher'n akite." One Democratic
orator, whose sense of blueness had
made him oblivious or whose feelings
of fullness required him to overflow,
taking the cue from the ; Jmocrat
ic House, wanted the roll called
every few minutes. He was bound to
do his best to prevent the count till
after the Fourth. ''Whozzer doin'
