acters of the new Turkish ministry is un-
certain. 1t is noteworthy that it does not

BRUSSELS, April l8.-Le Nord's Berlin
special states that Prince Bismarck, at the
pressing request of Count Andrassy, has
consented to resume negotiations for the
congress on the conditions that he be
simultaneously solicited to do so by Austria,
England and Russia. The good will Of
Russia is indubitable, but it is feared that
England may prolong the present state Of
uncertainty by abstaining from asking
Germany's mediation or by formulating
reservations.
LONDON, April l8,-A correspondent at
St. Petersburg says the situation is de-
cidedly pacific In official circles it is
believed that Germany's mediation will
very likely be successful ard that the con
gress will soon assemble.
ENGLAND.
LONDON, April 19.-A Manchester
telegram says that from statements that
have been received there to-day it is con
tdeptly anticipated that great represen-
tative meeting of operatives will shortly be
held, and that compromise emanating
from them may be agreed upon. At Pres
| ton the operatives of several mills, running
altogether 100000 spindles, have accepted
the ten per cent reduction. Six firms
have not yet given notice of the reduction.
1t is not thought that there will be a
general strike in Preston All the oper-
atives at Long Rigge have struck. At
Blackburn it is thought the strike will be
a long one. Twenty two thousand opera
tives are now affected there. At Padiham
only one mill is working.
A special from Manchester says the
position of the masters has been strength
ened by the fact that the Oldham spinning
masters are discussing the question OF
giving notice of five per cent reduction
and the adoption of the short tipe system.
At Blackburn the bitterness increases
daily. 1t is expected that the allowance
paid by the trades unions to strikers will
range from four to ten shillings per week.

WONDERFUL AN EXTRAORDINARY CURE
OF RHEuMATIsMS wENTY YEARS STANDING.
Never in my life

Never in my life had so much pleasure in do
ing any thing asi giving this certificate to the
world,and hope-t may be the cause of thousands
OF my fellow Greet ures being relieved from that
dire dlsease,rheun ntism. My wife has been afflicted
with IL tor twenty years, most of the time suffering
excruciating pa in every part of her body. Hav-
ing no appetite hatever, she was reduced to al
most Skeleton So violent were the pains that
she seldom cou sleep without taking large doses
OF opium. Every joint was swelled very much, and
her knees, hands, and neck, covered with large
Jumps. She could do no kind OF work, the sinews
and muscles being so hard and contracted that her
limbs were drawn together so that she was obliged
to be In bed constantly. In this condition she had
been for twenty years. without ever getting anyre-
lief from every thing she used. until she com.
menced the use of II. G. FARRELL'S ARABIAN
LINIMENT. the first bottle of which produced
great change. She has now used five bottles, and
the swellings have nearly all gone down pain has
entirely left her. she sleeps well and soundly; is
more feshy than ever che was in her life; has an
excellent appetite aud spins and sews all day.
BY the use of few bottles more she mnst be as
well as ever she was. If any one Doubts this won
derful cure, he has only to call at my residence
near Peoria, and learn the circumstance from my
wifes own lips, or he further inquire of any OF
my neighbors.

A Perfect Toilet SOaD.

First among the requisites Of the toilet Is good
article OF Soap but to procure it is not always an
easy matter. Many Of the most expensive Soaps in
the market are made from coarse and deleteriOus
materials, and their delicate colorng and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most repulsive i'm
pur1ues. The disclosures recently made public
regarding this subject are positively startling, and
deserve serious consideration. Scented Soaps are
now known to be extremely Objectionable especial
y if applied to the head njuring the hair, irrita
ting the scalp and inducing severe headaches. The
character of the ingredients may be inferred from
the statement of gentlemen who makes the scent
ing of Soaps his business he recently declared that
persons engaged in this employment short
lived; from seven TO ten years being the longest
period during which the occupation could be fol-
lowed.
The difficulty of procuring perfectly pure arti-
Gle of toilet soap is ut last obvated, however,
thanks to the enterprise and chemical skill of Mr..
Is. 7. Babbitt, of New York, the world-renowned
Soap Manufacturer, whose immense establishment
is by lar the greatest of the kind in the United
States The renown of Mr.. Rabbits various pro-
auctions has for many years been widely dissem-
mated but this latest success Is the appropriate
crown to the numerous victories already achieved.
After years of patient labor and scientific expert
ment, Mr.. Babbitt has succeeded in perfecting the
composition of the frest toilet soap ever intro
0uced. The principal ingredients are the purest
vegetable oils; the manufacturing processes are
entirely and original, and the result is simply
unpara. eled IN this department OF industry,
a B. T. Babbitts Toilet Soap is the trade mark
by which this elegant toilet luxury is designated,
and for applications to the delicate skin of infants,
children and ladies' ii is altogether unequaled In its
emollent properties. This Soap is not perfnmed,
the ingredients being of such absolute purity to
require aid from chemistry to disguise Inferior
materials. The most refined taste considers the
absence of artificial perfume the perfection OF
sweetness and this peculiar characteristic of b. T.
Rabbits Toilet Soap renders 1t the most heaIthfnl
and agreeable article of the kind ever manufac.
tured.
Though specially desirable for the use of ladies
and children, this Soap Is equally appropriate for
gentlemen's toilet and as it makes heavy lather
It is also one of the finest soaps for BARRIERS use
II is just being placed upon the market, but the
demand for it viii soon become general.-N. Y,

1t was toward the close Of the war

Sandusky: After being exchanged

orders and go into the service
again. Prices were very high in

Gen. Holiday, now Governor elect of
Virginia, and Beverly Tucker, the lead

Congress. We were none Of US in par

though, that in less than fifteen years
three of US would be Governors of
States and the fourth member Of Con-

than the English In that respect. When
Hamburg, free city, was In the hands
OF the French, In the first quarter Of the
present century, the commanding gen
eral gave out large amount OF English
bank notes to be Exchanged for other
money, knowing them to be forged.
Agents loaded down with them were
sent to England to pass them, by other
French civil and military officers. Two
OF these were caught and hanged.
During the later days Of the Napo-
leonie dynasty, when the leagued armies
OF Europe were pressing the Corsican
tyrant to his last corner, Eugene Beau
harnais was compelled to forsake his
Italian Viceroyalty and fly toward
france with his army. Part Of his way
led through the Austrian Tyrol. An
immense amount OF notes upon the
Bank OF Austria had been forged, and
were distributed on the march. They
were sold at the rate of two or three
crowns basket full. This fraud was
not the speculation of private soldiers,
or even officers, but was contrived and
abetted by Napoleon himself, whose
idea was the decentralization of the Aus
TRAN Finances.

HAYES APPETITE.
The President Always Hungry and Ready
to Eat
From a Washington letter.

From Washington letter.
att is a good thing Hayes is beyond
the suspicion Of being a drinking man. y
why ?" said l to gentleman who
called yesterday on the President.
Because his face has all the signs. u
Don't you know the cause Of that ?''
spoke up a third party, a man who al.
ways knows what he is talking about
for the reason that he gets his informa-
ton from first hands.
We said we did not, and with a pre-
Jude of well, will tell you," he told
US something which, although 1t is OF
the nature OF gossip, has not yet got
into the papers. | will venture into the
field Of gossip writing this once to tell
this bit which, l want to say, is better
substantiated than the majority of
Washington gossip.
"Hayes Is a good eater; that Is what
is the matter with his face"
l looked incredulously at him.
1T Is fact, nevertheless. Why, it is
we'll known to all his friends. They
knew it before he came to Washington,
but 1t has grown on him here. He eats
anything and everything. He eats five
and six times day, and at each of these
meals he cleans every plate set before
him. When he was in Boston the other
week, he had five spreads. four besides
the big banquet. A gentleman who
was on the committee Of arrangements
for the banquet told me that at each Of
the five spreads Hayes ate everything
before him, and at the banquet, like
Oliver Twist, called for more At the
White House his appetite is we'll known.
He does not hang around the kitchen
like hungry boy who wants to know
what he is going to have for dinner; he
is not an artistic epicure like Sam Ward.
What I mean is, that he is always hun
CRY, or at least imagines that he is. He
cares nothing about what he eats, 80
that there is a sufficient quantity of it.
He is with food like the old whisky-soak
who said Cali whisky is goods some is
better than Others Hayes eats some
thing, just to stay his stomach, as it
were, when he first gets out of bed in
the morning. Then he shifts a little
fresh air and goes to breakfast-a grand
meal with him. Then comes MONDAY
lunch-a misnomer. Later in the day
he eats dinner, and in the evening he
has tea. Before going. to bed he eats
supper.s
