So far Nothing Tangible.

Nothing definite nor even satisfactory
was elected" the Associated Press report
says of the testimony taken on yesterday
in the Oregon investigation, tending in
any manner to establish the truth of the
charges against Grover" There seems TO
have been an impression prevailing among
members of the legislature that there
should be money in the senatorship some
where, aud some disposition was shown to
test each others virtue, but no sales were
actually made, so far as these witnesses
know. The result of the days work is
not surprising. for nobody has expected
any substantial result from the investiga-
ton. All there was in the matter was
abundantly explored last winter. aud the
present proceeding is the dreariest waste
of time imaginable. Chicago Times.

CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS
He wants the Constitution Amended

At the Tammany hall celebration in New
York on the Fourth the following letter
from Charles Francis Adams was read.
QUINCY, June 90. l877.-AUGUsT
sCHNELL. Esq. Grand Sachem, Columbia
Order-Dedr SIR: [ have the honor to ac-
knowledge the reception of your letter in
vitting me to join your society in the cele-
bratlon of its exercises on the Fourth of
July. regret very sincerely that 1t will
not be in my power to attend on that Occa-
sion.
Whilst agreeing with you in many OF
the opinions expressed in your letter,
pray your pardon if | venture to present
| to your attention one subject which seems
| to me of the most vital Importance to the
future welfare, if not the very salvation OF
our institutions. The country must not be
subjected again to the risk of another elec,
tion. accomplished by fraud. if the evil can
| be removed by constitutional means. The
majority of the people have submittec once,
to their great honor-but it will not be safe
to risk such another experiment. Some
amendment of the provision of the consti.
tuition on the subject seems indispensable
during the present term of the presidency
trust you will not be slow to insist thai
your representatives and friends all oyer
the country shall see to it that ample time
and care be given In good season to the
preparation of such measure as may
prove acceptable to all honest people, wher
it becomes their duty to act upon it il
their turn Above all, let there be lefi
no chance for repetition Of fraud. The
corner stone of the arch must be dragged
out of the mud into which it has settled
and placed on an immovable rock. | dc
not permit myself to doubt that this is the
earnest desire of all the honest men oi
both parties But to youiwho have suffered
the most by the consequences it devolyes
to take especial care that they be not re-
peated. You have the means of remedy
largely in your hands. Ipray you to set
it in good season that they may be made
efectual to save us all from the possibility
of anarchy and strife There is no better
day to give out the word than on th'
Fourth of July. Very truly yours,
CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS.

scHENcx's SEA WEED TONIC.

In the atmosphere experienced here during the
summer months the lethargy produced by the heat
takes away the desire for wholesome food, and fire.
quent preparations reduce bodily energy, partlcu-
lary those suffering from the effects of debtata-
ting diseases. In order to keep natural healthful
activity Of the system must resort 20 artificial
means. For this purpose Schenck's Sea Weed Ton

petite and give fresh vigor to the eneryated body
For dyspepsia, il is invaluable. Many eminent
physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia can be
permanently cured by the drugs which are geEer-
ally employed for that purpose. The Sea Weed
Tonic in its nature is totally different from suct
drugs. 1t contains no corrosive minerals or acids
in fact it assists the regular operations of nature
| and supplies her deficiencies The tonic in its ma

almost identical with that fluid. The gastric jnic'

LONDON, July 9.-It is said the govern
ment has information that the Russians
inteud to occupy Constantinople at all
risks, unless the Turks anticipate the event
by making peace on the Gar s terms. The
effect of this and other intelligence as to
Russian intentions has been to modify very
considerably the view taken of the crisis
by certain members of the cabinet, The
practical outcome will probably be that if
the more energetic members should feel
bound to adopt an active policy they would
no longer be opposed by those of their col.
leagues who have hitherto been disposed
to caution. 1t is reported powerful re
enforcement is to be sent to the squadron

Great Loss of Life and Property

BILE whirlwind struck the town Sunday
night, leaving but three houses standing.
The Gardner House, large hotel, was
wholly demolished, saw mills, residences,
trees, fences, etc, were swept away:
persons are known to be killed, twenty
wounded. five missing, and some guests at
the hotel of whom 20 account has been
made. The losses are heavy. The
storm tore up large trees as though they
had been weeds and whired them in the
air like feathers. 1t is supposed further

when that cultivated and intellectual
mlddle-aged person, says The Neso Yorl;
Tribune, Miss Mary Ann Moxon, of Cam
bridge. Mass, had the collar of her often
sive little poodle inscribed I'm Mary Ann
Moxon's dog; whose dog are you? she
thought it was rather clever joke on the
casual citizen who might encounter the
pup and investigate his reason for being. "
When Mary Ann did this she was, con-
sciously or unconsciously, plagiarizing Mr.
Alexander Pope, poet of Twickenham.
The Prince Of Wales of Pope's time, like
Mary Ann of current history, had dog
for whose collar Pope wrote the couplet,
I'm his highness' dog at Kew;
Pray, sir, whose dog are you?"
! But the quadruped honored by prince
ownership and poets lines never made
any history. 1t appears, if The Tribune i.
veraciOus, that Miss Moxon's poodle die
shine on the pages of Cambridge, Mass
history: "One morning the poodle, howl
ing as though he was carrying all the parts
for Sirius in the chorus of the mornins
stars, and sudden, as if fired out of gun
shot into the Moxon presence, with his tai
tucked very close, and business card tieC
onto his collar. Divining that some on,
had set the poodle up in the carrier dov,
business, Miss Moxon seized the missiy
and read: Turpentine; is what ails me
what's the matter with you.
