A Washington special to the New York
Herald Gays: Sumner Howard has been
in conference for couple of days with
Attorney General Devens at the invita-
iion of the latter, who is DESTROYS of
learning all the facts connected with the
prosecution against the Mormons, now
being conducted by the District Attorney,
and which he proposes to institute on
evidence to be submitted to the grand
juries at Salt Lake and Beaver. The
appropriation for the Department of
Justice was largely curtailed by the last
Congress and the Attorney General is
unwilling to make any expenditures of
money in prosecutions which are not
likely to be successful. The testimony
in the Mormon suits will have to be
sought from witnesses who were driven
off and are now scattered az far West as
California and as far East as Illinois,
and the fees and expenses of bringing
these witnesses to Utah to testify will
call for q large amount Of money II
was to see the nature of this evidence
that Devens invited Howard to Washing.
ton. He is said to be satisfied of itt
value that he will authorize the requisite
outlay to procure it. He is, therefore
far from contemplating a discontinuanct
of the suits, as has been reported in some
of the papers.

New Use for Electricity.

An elegantly scientific mode of COM
pelllng man to swallow food, who
otherwise would have starved himself to
death, had been devised and put into
practice in French lunatic asylum
One of the patients who had persistent
ly refused food was becoming quite
emaciated. The physician in charge,
DR.. Ritti, was experimenting upon the
patient to ascertain whether any of the
functions of the palate, throat, ETC., were
impaired On applying the terminals of
a Ruhmkorff coil, SO as to pass cur
rent from the pharynx to the upper side
of the neck just below the angle of the
lower jaw, all the muscles of that region
contracted, and the pharynx made an
upward movement. A bright thought
struck the doctor. He had some food
prepared in portions, each of which
represented a small mouthful. One of
these boluses was put into the patients
mouth, and the mouth was kept closed
by an assistant. Then an electric cur
rent was passed, as before described, and
instantly the patient swallowed the
bolus. The upward movement which
the pharynx made under the stimulus of
electricity was precisely the same of that
which is naturally made by that organ
in the act of swallowing. The process
was repeated with the remaining boluses
until square meal had been admins
tered to the patient. When the next
meal-time came around the patient re-
sisted, and gave great deal of trouble to
the doctor and his assistants; but the
ingenuity which had so far triumphed
was not to be easily foiled, and the treat
ment is pronounced successful.

An Iowa Fish Story.

The Dubuque Times tells the follow
ing story about two young of men Dun
lelth, Iowa: The young gentlemen who
took fishing excursion down the river
having fallen short of bait, commenced
using the eye of the dead fish already
caught. One of the fish caught on this
bait struggled so hard that the hook ac-
cidently fastened in one of its eyes and
tore it out. The pain occasioned by this
accident made the fish struggle still
more, and at last it slipped from the
fisherman's grasp and escaped to its ma
tive element. The disgusted fisherman
retained the eye of the fugitive, applied
it to his hook, and again launched his
line into the water. Only o short time
elapsed and he had a bite, and jerking
his line out of the water he was surprised
to find the identical fish which had
eluded his grasp a few minutes before
and which perished by swallowing its
own eye.

A boy living near Elliott's mill, while
fishing at the head of Osceola dam, felt
a gentle nibble, and drawing his hook

found its way to the house of lords. The
court of ultimate appeal decided as the
lower court had done-in, her favor
holding that when child is born after
marriage the presumption of its legiti-
macy, in accordance with the old legal
maxim, "Pdter est quens nuptia dem
onstrant," is prima facie so strong that
the onus of disproof rests with those
who deny it. The romantic generosity
claimed by the father in marrying his
wife to save her reputation did not quite
jump with the offer of 81 900 after the
wife's reputation had been irreparably
damaged, and looked, so their lordships
thought, more like desire to screen
himself AT any rate, the fact remained
that the court acknowledged the legiti-
macy of the girl, and she becomes the
natural heiress of her fathers wealth,
which is considerable.

A Sudden Rise in Life.

The law Courts of London, England,
have recently brought to light a
romantic story, somewhat like that of
the Amnestey peelage case = which
Charles Reade seized upon in his story
of the Wandering Heir'-though in
this case the heir is an heiress. Some
years ago Mr.. Gardner, well to do
farmer at Melrose, in Scotland, married
young lady of the neighborhood, and
in very few weeks after the marriage
his wife presented him with daughter
Mr.. Gardner was an elder of his presby-
terry, and being well aware that a fierce
light beats upon that office, and being
anxious to save his reputation and his
wife's, he hired discreet nurse to take
charge of the child. The scandal was
thus averted, and years went by without
the girl herself or any one else discover
ing the secret. Meanwhile the daughter,
Magaret Gardner, had become mill
hand in factory and at the age of
twenty-one discovered by some means
the story of her birth and parentage.-
She at once sought out her parents a~d
demanded recognition, but Mr.. Garanel
disputed her legitimacy, declaring that
her father was shepherd named Laid
law, and that he (Gardner) had married
her mother, whom he loved, to save her
reputation. The girl however, like inn
mortal VIII, thought this was {" too

clining an offer of thousand pounds to
hold her tongue, brought an action in
Scotch courts to compel her recognition
as legitimate daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Gardner. The case was decided against
her by the judge ordinary, whereupon
she appealed to the full court of sessions,
who gave judgmenti in her favor. Against

VEGETINE.

The range OF disorders which Yield to the infu.
ence OF this medicine, and the number Of defined
diseases which 1t never fails to cure are greater
than any other single medicine has hitherto been
even recommended for by any other than the pro-
pretors OF some quack nOstrum. These diseases
are Scrofula and all eruptive dseasesand Tulnors
Rheumatism. GOut, Neuralgia, and Spinal Com
plants and all nfammatOry symptoms Ulcers,
all Syphlltlc diseases; Kidney and bladder dis
eases, Dropsy, the whole train OF painful disor-
ders which so generally afflict American women,
and which carry annually thousands of them to
premature graves Dyspepsia, that universal
curse OF American manhood, Heartburn, Piles,
constipation, Nervousness, Inability to Sleep and
impure blood This is formidable list of human
ailments for any single medicine to successfully
attack. and 1t Is not probable that any one artf-
olebefore the public has the power to cure the
quarter OF them except Vegetine. 1t lays the axe
at the root of the tree of disease by first elimina-
ting every impurity from the blood, promoting
the secretions, opening the pores-the great es-

ach and strengthening digestion. This much ac-
complished, the speedy and the permanent cure
OF not only the diseases we have enumerated, but
likewise the whole train of chronic and cOnstitu-
tonal disorders, is certain to follow. This is pre-
cisely what Vegetne does and it does il so quick
ly, and so easily, that it is an accomplished fact
almost before the patient it aware of it himself.

sar Recently John w. Bell, of Mercer,
sold the half interest of mill to Mr..
Guthrie, of Greenville. He went to the
residence of the man with whom he had
the bargain for settlement few days

chaser, finding out that Bell had the ar
ticle of agreement, the elder Guthrie's
notes to Mr.. Bell for several hundred
dollars and other important papers, de-
manded them and not having his re-

and pointed cooked revolver at him.
The papers were surrendered and since

The door opened softly, head peeped
in low down, then drew back.
Come in" piped the old woman.
The perlice arn't arter you-leastways
for harm. Captain, that's him-your
boy Ned"
And as the Captain stood with out
stretched arms there crept in at the door
who ?-whatY The wan, deformed
and dirty creature who had picked his
pocket whom he had fed for the sake
of his beautiful dream-child-t wretch
ed waif, forgotten utterly in the last
few days of anxiety.
"That's him, - croaked the old crone
again. " That's your boy-That's Ned"
The Captain gave cry, he sank down
on an old box close at hand, and hid his
face and wept. His sobs shook him ter
ribly; they almost shook the crazy build
ing. They frightened the old woman,
and set the policeman to rubbing his
eyes with his cuffs. The boy stood and
stared for moment, and then vanished.
And what was the wretched father

there are no words for them; but, first
of all, this horrible one-that that vile
little object, that wretched child of the
streets, was the darling for whom he had

And just then little hand crept over
his knee The thrill of hair against his
hand, and piping voice said meekly,
"Please, I'm clean now. I've washed
myself,
The Captains swollen eyes Enclosed.
They turned upon the child.
Some queer knowledge of his fathers
feelings had crept into his mind, and he
had tried to clean his face. A round
white spot appeared amidst the 'grime,
and out of it shone two beautiful blue
eyes, that looked wistfully up into the
Captains.
All of sudden, flood of such pitiful
tenderness as he had never felt before
swept over Captain Penryn's heart. All
the grief, and shame, and wounded pride
left it, to come back no more.

him.

Congress Yestereiay.

There was an interesting discussion of
the Mexican question in the House yester-
day which very fairly reflects the sentiment
Of the country on the subject. No one was
so wild MS to suggest war as solution of the
difficulty, not even the gentlemen from
Texas, who naturally feel very strongly in
regard to our border troubles. The most
infammatory speech was made by Mr.. Mills,
from that State, and he was prudent enough
not to go to any greater length than con-
denim the proposed policy of making a new
treaty. It is noticeable that all the Repre-
sentatives who are supposed to be the ex-
ponents Of the views Of the administra-
ton on the floor were conservative
in their utterances and disclaimed
all warlike intentions on the part of the
Executive Department.. Finally the ques-
ton was referred to the Committee on For
eign Affairs, with instructions to report at
as early date as possible. In the Senate
Mr.. Eustis was admitted to his seat. Mr.
Stanley Matthews made his long threat
ened reputation speech, which was merely
a repetition of the so-called arguments SO
often heard on the Ohio soft money stump.

have believed that he was elected. But
with Pinchback ont Of the way it was not
worth while for the republican Senators to
pick flaws in Eustis title. Had he
been rejected there would have been
an unquestioned vacancy, which Gov
ernor Nichols would Immediately have
filled by appointing democrat
either Mr.. Eustis himself or some
other citizen belonging to the same party.
Every State in the Union has now its full
representation in the Senate according to
the constitution. The admission of Mr.
Eustis closes every part of the Southern
controversy SO far as it can be made ques-
tion Of practical politics. There is no pos
sibility Of the resuscitation of carpet-bag
rule or negro rule or any other rule than
that of the white citizens in the Southern
States In admitting Mr.. Kellogg the re-
publican Senators gathered the last fruit of
what will henceforth be q barren tree. The
way is now open for general dissolution
and reorganization of political parties.
