SPEED ACCELERATORS u thorough test,

TO the saddle, overdraw and cheCk-rein
In my Judgment they are the most excel.
lent things eyer invented to produce
speed and comfort for horses.
liorSemen and humanitarians have for
years sought to invent attachments for
horses mouths. the former looking prin-
cipally to speed, the latter seeking relief
for the horse from the strain of checks and
bits on the mouth. The ACCEL ORATORS
accomplish both. for they remove the per-
mancnt strain of checks and bits from the
mouth and head Of the horse by imparting
the proper elasticity, which the horse feels
Immediately. and improves ut once IN
style and speed. Owners of horses,
whether trotterS. roadsters. coach or bust

man vino gives your AccELERAToRS n
trial will not only indorSe what [ say but
recommend them to every one owning
horses.
Hoping you will succeed in establishing
what | firmly believe to he the best thing

thoroughly convinced of their usefulness.

PARIS just missed having an army OF
female warriors during the siege. Pla-
cards were posted announcing that bat
talions, each of eight companies $50
strong would he formed of women of
all classes, to defend the barricades in
company with the sedeutary National
guards, and "to render to the combat
ants, among whom they would be dis
tributed by companies, all such init
mate and fraternal services as would be
compatible with moral order and mill
tary discipline" and to take charge of
the wounded. They were to be armed
with light rifles, to receive Il francs a
day, and to be uniformed in black
pantaloons with an orange stripe, a
cloth blouse with a hood, q kepi with an
orange band; and cartridge-box sus-
pended from baldrick. In order to
uniform and arm them, all rich women
in Paris were requested to contribute
their jewels and plate in preference to
having these valuables stolen by the
Prussians. Fifteen thousand recruits
had been enlisted when the government
summarily suppressed the plan and its
inventor, one NJ. Felix Belly.

our heartfelt gratitude is oue to the Supreme
BENG who holds in his hands the d stnies of ma
tionS foTthe Continued beStowal during asst year
Of countless blessings upon our country. We are
at peace with all other nations, our public credit
has greatly improved and is perhaps now stronger
than ever before; abundant harvests have reward
c the laDorS of those who till the soil; man
ufacturimg Industries are reviving and it is be-
lieved that the general prosperity which has been
so long and anXiousy looked for Is at last within
YELLOW FEVER.
The enjoyment of health by our people generally
has however been interrupted during the past
season by the prevalence of fatal peStilence, the
n ~ an which nj hi1 caied for
prompt and extraordinary measures of relief. The

after summer 1t was rapidly spread by fugi-

are believed 10 have occurred, OF which about 20
fatal. 1t is impossible TO estimate, with any ap-
proach to accuracy, the loss to the country occa-
hundreds of millions of dollars. The suffering
and restitution that resulted excited the deepest
sympathy III all parts or the union. Physicians
sistance of the afiicted Communities COntribu-
Were speedily and generously furnished. The gov
ernment was able to respond i'll some measure to
the call for help by providing tents medicines and
food for the sick and destitute the requisite dIrec
tfonS for the purpose being given i'll the confident
expectation that this action of the executive would
receive the sanction of congress. About eighteen
hundred tents and ratiOnS of the value of about
50 600 dollars were sent to cities and towns which
applied for them full details of which will be fur
nrShed to congress by the proper department.. The
+, arful spread of this pestilence has awakened
very general public sentiment in favorof nation

quarantine but have sanitary supervision of inter
national commerce in times of epidem C, and hold
an advisory relation to state and municipal health

dangers the public health and which the mnni-
cpal and state authorities are unable to regulate.
The national quarantine act approved April 18th
1878 which WAS passed too late III last session OF

practical operation during the past SeaSOn,iS step
in the direction here indicated. In view of the
necessity for the most effective measures by quar-

ports and the country generally from this and
other epidemics it is recommended that congress

The wouId-be assassin of King Hum
bert, i'll his examination, calmly stated
his intention not to wound but to kill
the king. If this mania for king kill
ing spreads in Europe the head that
wears a crown will certainly be uneasy.
The fact of the assassin having an in
ternationalist book in his ? possession
proves that the pernicious doctrines Of
that body Of fanatics are being dissem-
mated throughout Europe. The poison
is spreading through the system of Eu-
ropean society and grave consequences
may yet be the result.

WISE burglars, in ascending stairs at
night, always walk near the wall, as
there the boards creak less than they do
in the middle. Equally wise household
ers, however, leave three or four thick,
dry newspapers loosely unfolded on the
landing-the best and simplest burglar
alarm in the world, since to step on
them or attempt to move them Is to
make noise enough to rouse the house.
By the way, Lord Chancellor Eldon's
first client, house-breaker, whom he
got off. rewarded him with piece of
advice that got into verse thus:
Small dog and rusty key
Were John Scott's first fee
A small terrier, said the experienced
malefactor, is more active and suspi-
cious than large one, and not attract
ing the burglars notice when they re-
connoitre the ground, will not be pol
soned, while a rusty key will squeak In
the lock if turned from the outside.

FoR some time past the New York
papers have almost daily stated that the
remains of Mr.. Stewart had been found,
and the thieves discovered. This is
generally supplemented by statement
from the police that no clue had been
obtained which would lead to such 4
result. This thing is beginning to be
mOnOtOnOUs.

FOREIGN NEWS.

THE CRAFTY AND DETERMINED AMEER.
Intelligence was received from Cabul
Dec. End, that the ameer has demand
ed a special credit to defray the ex-
pense of the honors done the Russian
Embassy, and has held Durbar. at
which he explained the cordial recep-
ton of the embassy, on the ground
of gratitude for Russia'S hos
pitality to Afghan traders. A declara-
ton was read on the occasion, showing
forth the power and fame of Russia,
and the chiefs present at the Durbar ap-
plauded it. The Ameer closed the
proceeding by telling the chiefs to re-
turn to their posts and sharpen their
swords to meet the enemy in the
country.
a dispatch from Sakhar says: 'The
news from the Quettah column is dis
couraging. In consequence of the loss
of camels it is universally believed the
advance on Candahr will be delayed
until spring"
TURKISH NEWS.
A cablegram of November Both
says: A dispatch from Con
stantinople says the porte has sup
pressed the Turkish legation at Wash
ington and many consulates since the
cessation of hostilities.
Twenty-nine vessels arrived at Con
stantinople, mostly from the United
States, with large cargoes of rifles and
cannon. The Turkish troops are now
as well furnished with arms as before
the war.
RUssIA's ATTITUDE.
The London Times of Nov. 29th, con-
tains the following: The st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Vienna (semi-of-
ficial) Political Correspondence says that
Russia has announced her intention of
actively supporting the ameer in the
event of England occupying any points
in Afghanistan from which the Russian
dominion in Asia might be efectually
threatened. This announcement is
based upon the assertion that England
has violated the alleged Afghan agree
meent of Lord Clarendon by the occu-
patton of Quettah. The intention of
Russia to interfere in Afghanistan is ap-
parently confirmed by the Moscow
Gazette declaring that Intervention is in
dispensabie now that the occupation of

AMURDEROUS BOMB.
A Pesth cablegram of November 28th
says: Last night, while Lisa, the Hun
garian prime minister, was entertain
ing Count Andrassy and members of
the delegation, bomb exploded in the
alley between the Fortress Theatres
and the ministers palace. An examina-
ton of the fragments showed that the
bomb had been charged with dynamite.
The windows ofthe palace were shatter-
ed, but nobody was hurt. There is no
clue to the perpetrators of the outrage.
Great excitement prevails.
THE R. II. MAIL SERVICE.
VIM. B. Thompson, superintendent
of the 9th division Railroad service, of
Cleveland, Ohio, will succeed Vail as
general superintendent of the railroad
mail service, and Thompson's successor
will be Mr.. Lowell, late head clerk in
the same service.

ALTHOUGH the Pon1naera11iG was built
i'll six Water-tight compartments, she
sank within twenty minutes of the time
she was struck. This is not a particu-
larly good showing for what has hither-
to been looked upon as one of the safe
guards against shipwreck. Hitherto
it has afforded a fancied immunity
from danger, but, now that this has
been dlspelled, science must cudgel
her brains for some new invention.
