The ssGOddess of Libertys''
The White House.

A wiry little woman, about forty
years old, and with snaky curls down
her back, stepped up to the Presidents
doorkeeper this morning and solemnly
announced that she was the Goddess Of
Liberty, and thai she had '.descended
from the dome of the capitol this
morning on purpose to see the Presi-
dent" The doorkeeper Somewhat sur
surprised showed her to the ante-roon,
and asked her to remain there awhile.
He shortly afterwards let a party of
ladies into see the President who merely
wished to pay their respects to him.
Unseen by him the Goddess of Liberty
slipped in with the party. Inside she
created somewhat of scene by rushing
up to the President, repeating her as
sertion that she was the Goddess of
Liberty just stepped down from the
dome. and demanded the pardon of her
son, who, she said, was now in the New
Jersey penitentiary. The President,
equal TO the occasion, manpuvred her
out into the hall again. She planted
herself by the doorkeeper and refused to
move until she had received the pardon
of her son. The doorkeeper after con-
siderable trouble got rid of her by say
ing that the Attorney General had all
the papers in her sons case now at the
capital, and she had better 90 up there

POLICE TO BE ARMED AND DRILLED.
Philadelphia Press says the knights
OF Labor have gained quite II considera-
BILE footing in that city. A reporter was
Informed last evening thata well known
number of the Communistic Society of
New York is in Philadelphia and organ
izing "branches." That some such facts
have come to the knowledge of the au-
thorities Is manifested from an import
ant order which was made public last
evening, and of which the following in
the official notice furnished for publica-
ton: The Police Department of this
city has taken all necessary precauti ons
against any commuListic uprising here
No indications of trouble have presented
themselves, but reports from other cities
lead to the belief that ramifications of
the sociallstic order are extensive. and
thai the appearance of disorder in one
place may lead to deeds of violence else
where. In view of this situation of af-
fairs additional drills and military exer-
cises have been imposed upon the police,
the arms in the station-houses have been
reburnisbed and regular days are set
apart for PRACTISE. Each of the four
main divisions has been divided into
squads of one hundred men each, and an
entire battalion will he drilled at once.
The first division, under Captain
Charles Wood, is required to take eXer-
else in the various company movements
and manual of arms, four days each
week, at the City Armory, Broad and
Race streets, and the other three divi-
sions are being drilled at stated places.
The heutenants have been supplied with
Upton's revised tactics, and are required
to drill portion of their men every
evening.

A DcbatabIe Question.

Whle much has been written concern
ing the use Of "put up" medicines, the
question is still an open one, and de-
ilaius or the people n careful conSid-ra-
tlon' Inc salient points may be briefly
stated, and answered as follows: 1st-
are the sick capable of determining
their real condition, the nature of their
liialady, and selecting the proper remedy
or means Of cure? 2d-Can "A physician
no matter how skillful, prepare univer-
al remedy, adapted to the peculiar all
inent OF large class of people residing
IN different latitudes, and subject to var
lous climatic influences? In answer to
me hrSt proposition. we would say,
disease are named and known by certain
,sigils' or symptoms, and, as the mother
does not need physician to tell her that
iier cliilu has the whooping-cough, or in
dlcate remedy, so people when atfi cted
with many of the symptoms concomitant
to "impure blood" "torpid liver" and
pad digestion," require no other knowl-
edge OF their condition, or the remedy
Indicated, than they already posses. Sc
cond -Manyphysfcian argue
that diseases are sectionally peculiar,
and that their treatment must therefore
vary, ana yet quinine, morphine, podo-
phyllin, and hundreds of other remedies
are prescribed in all countries to over
come certain condition. Is it not, there
iore, Stl-eVluent tDat physician whose
large experience has made him familiar
with thr many phases incident to all
impurities ofthe blood, gen raj and ne,rous
de6aitg, Hoer complaint, dyspe ,sia, CON
sumption cdtd1h, can prepare . series of
remedies exactly adapted to meet the
conditions manifest, wherever, and by
whatever means, it may have been en-
gendered? The family medicines pre-
pared by II. V. Pierce, M. D., Buffalo,
n. y, fulfill the above requirements.
Many physicians prescribe Them in their
practice. His Golden Medical Discovery
has no equal as IA blood-purifyer and

In the United States Senate, Mr. Y avis

the select committee ON the books and
accounts of the Treasury Department to
sit during the recess of Congress. He
said that every statement he had made
when submitting the resolution calling
for the investigation would be proved.

Railroad Company of the District of
Columbia was passed, after being amend
ed so as to forbid the use of steam in
propelling cas through the streets of the
city. The Senate then adjourned until
Monday next.
In the House, after a struggle of five
days, quorum was obtained, aud the
resolution of MIR. Potter, for an investi-
CATION by select committee of the alleg-
ed electoral frauds IN Florida, was adop-
ted, the vote standing yeas l45, nays 2,
all democratr-the republicans refusing
to vote. buring the struggle yesterday /,
Mr.. Conger, of Michigan, iptimated that
Mr.. Goode, of Virginia, had violated his
honor by breaking his pair with Mir.
Loung, of Massachusetts,, to which Mr..
Goode Indignantly responded that he
could take care of his own honor, and if
Mr.. Conger assailed it he would hold him
personally responsible. The republicans
demanded that Mr.. Goodies language
should be taken down but the Speaker
decided that the provocation came from
Mr.. Conger. Mr.. Goode afterwards eX-
planned that he had informed Mr.. Lor-
ing, who was in the city, that he intend-
ed TO break the pair because the repubh-
cans were ObstructiDg business.
