"A return to specie payments at the earli-
est possible period compatible with due re-
gard to all interests concerned, shouId ever
be kept in view. Fluctuations i'm the value
OF currency are always injurious, and to
reduce these fluctuations to the lowest pos
sible point will always be a leading pur-
pose In wise legisIation. Convertibility,
prompt and certain convertibility into
coin is acknowledged TO be the best and
suress safeguard against them.

LIZ seems that the adjournment of Congress
was delayed by the condition of the commit
tee on enrolled bills. Some members were
too drunk to do business. Rainey the col
ored member whom the House tried to expel
the other day, did the work and saved some
of his Democratic colleagues from disgrace.
Had it not been for him an adjournment
could not have been effected,

TUE New York Tribune permits its Lon

SCIENcK's PULMoNIc SYRUP, SEA-WEED Ton

utiGn in the healing art, and proved the faacy or
several maxms which have for many years Oh
struc,ed the progress Of medical science. The false
supposition that Consumption IS incurable" de-
TERED physicians from attempting to find remedies
for that disease and patients afflicted with 1t recon-
ciled themselves to death without making an effort
10 escape from doom which they supposed to he
unavoidable. 1t Is now proved, however, that
CONSUMPTION can be cured, and that II has been
cured in very great number Of cases some OF them
apparently desperate one>l by ScHENcK'S PULMo-
MIC SYRUP alone; and IN other cases by the same
medicine In connection with ScHENcK's SEA-WEED

good health for more than forty years, was supposed

MANCHESTER AND VICINITY.

The MofeH- Register LaU- Interesting
Facts and Figures. are nineteen al
coholic and seven malt registers in opera
ton in Manchester. The tax on the drinks
registered on these for the month Of De-
cember was--alcoHolic, S413.26; malt,
S14.eT-total, S42S.13.
The registers were put up in Manchester
September 18th, in the afternoon. Since
that time the tax on the registered drinks is
as follows: Alcoholic, S1,343.12; malt,
S96.62-total amount Of tax, 81, 1898. The
average tax per month on all the registers
has been about $443. At this rate the
amount realized in Manchester by the new
law will approximate $5,3l6. The nine
teen alcoholic registers have averaged about
S21.70 each per month. The seven malt
registers have each averaged about $4.37
per month.
The largest alcoholic register reported
was 1894; the smallest, 1880; the largest
malt register, 5,747; The smallest, 420. 1t
Is singular coincidence that the largest
alcoholic and the smallest malt register
should have been reported by the same
party. The largest tax yet reported by any
one house amounts to $1S3.70; the smallest,
s23.60. The amount allowed by the State
ip Manchester for drawbacks Zone half OF
licenses pald) was Sl,029. The value OF
twenty-six registers also allowed was $3.50.
Total, S1,2S9. This amount has been as
sessed, and there Is balance due to the
State Of S150.S3. OF the nineteen dealers
engaged in the business in this city, ten
have received their drawbacks, and on the
Ist OF February will commence making
| their welcome donations towards the liqui
dation of the State debt.
The average amount per annum that vii
be received by the State from each OF the
twenty.six- registers in operation in Man
chester, judging from the results thus far
will be S2o4.50. This amount Is not likely
to be increased, as there is but a poor pros
pect either OF more registers being put uI
or OF there being any very great increase il
the liquor business-a fact which it is be
lieved viii not be greatly deplored either b,
the community at large or the respectable
liquor-dealers.

JANAUscHEK.-On Monday evening next
Madame Jarauschek opens brief engage
ment ut the Theatre, during which she will
appear in several of those characters which
have rendered her so famous, as also in two
new plays, ssCatherine 60 OF Russia" and
"Brunhild.' The former has been selected
for the opening performance, and it affords
Madame Janauschek an opportunity not only
for intense tragic acting, but also for dis
playing those magnificent costumes and dia-
monds which add so much to the beauty OF
the picture presented. OF her acting as the
proud, imperlous Empress OF all the Rus
sias, Well-known critic says:
AS Catherine IT. Madame Janausehek
played with that understanding and ac-
eurate illustration of character that per-
vades all that this Northumberland
woman attempts. To say that the character
of the play is wholly suited to her would be
TO transcend truth, bnt that the part Of
Catherine and many OF the scenes depicted
ere entirely in harmony with Madame JAN
auscheck's school Of acting is self-evident,
and with the power peculiar to her the SUBJ
ject Is graspcd. The acting OF Janauschek
in the first and fifth acts is very grand and
full OF expression; as regards her acting in
the closing scene OF act fifth, when Cath
crime learns that the Chevalier has gone
forth to be shot, it would be difficult to eX-
press in words the intensity OF the impress
sion produced by the agony Of grief and
passion depicted, and throughout this
scene and on to the close Of the piece the
feeling portrayed transcends description,
so realistic was the effect produced"
