Green, an Inmate Of the Central Insane Asylum
from Union County, is the theme Of conversation
to-day. II appears that yesterday evening Mrs

All eyes were at once riveted to the spot. Eve.
ry moment threatened instant death. There was
no ladder around the premises which would
reach above the second story. How the patient
was to be rescued seemed unauswerable. At this
moment young Mardin made his appearance.
Throwing off coat and vest, he ascended the lad
der which reached to the second story window.
With mighty effort he secured a hold on the
bars of the window above, and, reaching up with
one arm, he seized her Just as she was about to
drop. With one hand be maintained his hold,
and with the other actually seated the unfortun.
ate woman on the windOw.sill.
At this exciting and terrible moment the lady's
reason returned, and she begged her d6iveTer
andgallaut knight to save himself and let her drop
on the rocks below. To this appeal he answered,
II will save us BOTH" A rope Was then passed to
him, which he secured around the ladys waist,
and in this manner she was lowered from the dz-
zy height to the ground below. In like manner
did Charley Mardin, the courageous and daring
hero, reach the ground.

Sessions Resumed-HattheWS Falls to Come to
Time.
New York August l2.-The Potter Investigating
Committee resumed its session this morning. but
in the absence Of several members, no witnesses
were examined.
General Butler asked that Stanley Matthews be
examined. Mr., Potter said the Senator had been
summoned on Saturday, and he replied that an
important engagement at Newport would prevent
him from attending, and whatever he intended
TO do he deemed Of no consequence to the COM
mittee. From this reply Mr.. Potter said he l.,
ferred that Senator Matthews did not mean to ~ ~
spond to the summons Le
General Butler remarked that If Mr. Mattne"s
answer meant that he would not attend or OBEY
summons of the House of REPRESENTATIVES, the
sooner the issue was made the better for the
House and Senate, so that the powers Of both can
be determined. II the House has not the power
to compel the attendance of witnesses, then the
investigation is useless Gs subject to suspicion.
He did not know what credit 10 give to certain
newspaper articles he had seen. but If they were
true, Matthews had been testlfying to newspaper
reporters He tells 10 them as much as he pleas.
es and we want him here 10 tell as much as the
committee pleases, he therefore moved that It
be entered on the record that Mr.. Matthews re-
fused 10 appear before the committee, and that
the same be reported TO the House for their action
in the matter.

SOurce-The "LabOr Lesgue."
TBoston Standard-Greenback.
The following statement was prepared by Mr.
James Wright of Elmira, with the intention Of
submitting 1t to the Syracuse Convention
Mr.. shupe stated to me in his Office on the 11th
day of April last that he had dined that day with
John Sherman, who had expressed himself decid-
edly In favor of the labor cause and in the inter
est of the workingmen; that he (Sherman) was
heartily sick of the old parties, their rings, biCk
eriugS and conduct generally; that his sympathy
being with the workingmen he would furnish
them means to organize Labor League through
out the United States This was to be secret or
ganizatOn, Shupe added that Sherman had Civ.
en- him the figures on resumption, showing that
nothing could prevent it, He said 1t would throw
into circulation, with gold at par, three or four
hundred millions more money. This would give
all the currency required, take the wind out of
the sails of the National party and wipe 1t out of
existence. 1t was arranged between Shupe and
Sherman that this party must die. Out its ashes
was to arise in Phoenix fashion, the Labor League,
Sherman debating who should be It's national
leader through Peter Cooper (usiDg the old man
dictate the management In the different States,
and issue fiat from the Advocate Office appointing
the leaders of new Governors of the different
States Shupe's satraps were to appoint the cOun'
ty leaders. Sherman was to furnish the money
for organizing this new deRpOtism, and for putting
the newspapers in every town, village and ham
let at price that would kill off all the GreenbaCk
and National journals. Through the same ma.
chinery Shupe proposed to destroy the middle
men and small merchants and organize system
to sell directly to the people, with not more than
one go-between. He also tntmated that he had
the entire Greenback and the leaders of Its differ
ent factions under his control-in other words
that he had bought them.

The reputation it has attained, in consequence of the marvellous cures it has produced during the last half cen- tury, is sufficient assurance to the public that it will continue to realize the happiest results that car be desired. In almost every section of country there are persons, publicly known, who have been restored from alarming and even desperate diseases of the lungs, by it's use. All who have tried 1t ac knowledge its superiority; and where it's virtues are known, no one hesitates as to what medicine to employ to re- lieve the distress and suffering peculiar to pulmonary affections. CHERRY PEG ToRAL always affords instant relief, and performs rapid cures of the milder va- rieties of bronchial disorder, as well as the more formidable diseases of the lungs.
 AS a safeguard to children, amid the distressing diseases which beset the Throat and Chest of Childhood, it > invaluable; for, by it's timely use. multitudes are rescued and restored to health.
 This medicine gains friends at every trial, as the cures it is constantly producing are too remarkable to be forgotten. No family should be with out it, and those who have once used it never will.
 Eminent Physicians throughout the country prescribe it, and Clergymen often recommend 1t from their knowi- edge of it's effects.
