Uoon the walls Of the governors
room in the city hall, New York City
hangs a small, dingy canvas, on which
was depicted 800 years ago portrait Of
Heinrich Hudson, q man employed by
the East India Company. DisAPPoint-
ed but not disheartened, he came out
in search of a Northwest passage. FL
naIly. be came in sight Of Sandy Hook
and passed through the gateway OF the
Narrows. gazed wonderingly around, en-,
tered the broad river and cast anchor at
Yonkers. He took possession OF the
country in the name of Holland. He
landed in England and told his story to
the monarch, who would not allow Hud-
son 10 leave the country. But he had
sent his papers and charts to his Am
sterdam employers, and the newly-dis-
covered land soon became populated by
worthy race OF men.
In the time of Governor Stuyvesani
the first idea of local self-government
became established. In 1853 New Am
sterdam, afterwards New York, was or
ganized as a city. Soon the popular
will demanded popular reform, and IL
1868 the inhabitants we're bold enough
to form convention in spite Of Stuyve'
SAINTS anger. This convention was held
at the City Tavern. They passed reso
lutions against the tyrannical rule Of the
governor. Stuyvesant's fierce anger wal
kindled, but he was turned from his pur
purse of furnishing his people by dis
turbance on the part of the Swedes oil
the Delaware. While the governor wa
engaged in fighting the Swedes, Com
mander Nichol came mp the bay with hi
feet of British ships, to demand Man
haitian on the part of the Duke OF York
After a spirited resistance of words tn
Dutch walked out, and the English walk
ed in, while the name Manhattan wa
changed to that of New York.

Catarrh.

A writer in the Tribune says that
this disease is durable, if the sufferer
will persist in using the following:
"The remedy is crushed cubeb berries
smoked in pipe, emitting the smoke
through the nose; after few trials
this will be easy to do. If the nose is
stopped up SO that it is almost impossi-
BILE to breathe, one pipeful will make
the head as clear as a bell. For sore
throat, asthma and bronchitis, swallow
ing the smoke effects immediate relief.
1t is the best remedy in the world for
offensive breath, and will make the most
foul breath pure and sweet. Sufferers
from that most horrible disease, ulcer
ated catarrh, will find this remedy to be
unequaled, land amonths use will cure the
most obstinate case. A single trial will
convince any one. Eating the uncrush-
ed berries is also good for sore throa
and all bronchial complaints. After
smoking do not expose yourself to cold
air for at least fifteen minutes. The
berries are perfectly harmless. They
can be procured at any drug store, and
you can crush them yourself"
