Ehe National Scourge.

1t is estimated that the annual damag-
is caused by the ravages of insects and
worms exceed $3.50, 600, 900 in the United
States alone. Truly an enormous loss
Yet it sinks into insignificance when
compared with the ravages of that more
terrible scourge, Consumption, which
annually sweeps hundreds OF thousands
of human souls into eternity. The caus-
es OF consumption are various, depend
ing ia every instance for the develop
ment of the disease upon the scrOfulOus
diathesis, or temperament, Of the victim.
Thus the same cause which will produce
in one person an attack of acute disease,
or a slight nervous prostration, will en-
gender consumption in person of scrof-
ulous habit. That consumption can be
cured by proper treatment will be per-
ceived when the exact nature of the dis
ease is understood, viz: the accumula-
ton and deposition of scrOfulOus matter
(tubercles) in the lungs. Obviously, the
nrinciple remedies required are % a
Dowerful Alternative, or bloOd-purifier, to
arrest the accumulati0nS and also cleanse
the blood of the scrofulous matter, and
CD a mild cathartic to eXpel the diseased
matter from the system. This course of
treatment, in conjunction with strict
hygienic regime, has proved the most
successful method of curing this disease.
DR.. Pierce's Golden medical Discovery
and Pleasant Purgative Pellets are the
best Alternative and cathartic remedies be-
fore the public, and have been alone used
in thousands of cases OF consumption
with the most marked efficacy. DIR. Pier
ee's Invalid's Hotel, at Buffalo, n. Y,
affords special and unequald advantages
to consumptives, not only possessing the
best medical and hygienic means of treat
ment. but havinthe essential advantage
OF being situated in a climate where the
inhabitants are notably free from this
disease.

england will not demonetize sill
yer in India" says the telegraph. Of
course not. In countries SO thickly
populated as China and India, and
labor and commodities SO low that it
is almost impossible to get the coin
small enough for business, they could
not do without small silver coin-Sfate.
Exactly and if we have not in
this country the same necessity for
small change, then we are sadly
mistaken. The policy OF contrac-
traction, resumption and demone-
tization has placed labor about as
completely in the power of capital
as it is in India and China.

THE Legislature will soon as

wanting to divert, if possible, the
attention Of the people from Re
adjustment. But the question will
not down. The Canal, the Peni-
Tertiary and the A. M. & o. R. r.
will need attention, but the fact re-
mains that our Free School System
is practically ruined. The teachers
unpaid and the children untaught.
School houses are closed. The
holders of one third of the debt OF
Virginia are chained by the Fund
ing Bill away from the Treasury

Something will have to be done,

wealth will longer be endured
by the people. The Richmond
WING pertinently says:
The dignity of the State demands
that she shall resume her sovereignty :
the necessities of the people require
generous consideration that cannot
be Afforded as long as so much of the
revenue is intercepted before it can
reach the treasury; and the Legisla-
ture. or a Convention, should reso-
lutely take the necessary steps Tor

The COnfiagratiOn at the Peni-
Tertiary.


In addition to the account already
pub Iish ed Of the destructive cOnfia'
grafton at the penitentiary we give
The following particulars from the
State:
The first floor of the burning build
mo vas used as a cooper-shop, an
was filled with shavings and raw
stock. The secOud floor was used as
carpenter shop, where furniture,
boxes, &c. were made This place,
too. was filed with inAammable ma
terial The third story was used as
the shoe-shop. The building was
covered with a gravel roof.
A little before o'clock portions of
the wall began to fall, making a noise
which could be heard all over town.
Fortunately no one was seriously in
iured by the tumbling brick or TIM
Der. The walls were left complete
wreck. Small portions continued to
cave in throughout the night.
1t is estimated that the total loss
sustained is lie tween $50 GOO and
| $751; There was no insurance.
The building which covered an area
of about 50xS6 feet, was worth about
$4,000. Mr. D. S. Gates, who had
charge Of the shoe department, says
| that the stock of raw material was
very large, and the machinery used
very expensive. He estimates the
loss in his department at $751; 900 or
| $40. 600. Mr.. G.. G.. Cross, first as
sistant superintendent of the peni-
tentiary, had charge Of the cooper
and carpenter shops. He was not
prepared this morning to state just
what the loss in his department will
be. but says the stocks were heavy. =
There was a good deal of cooper
timber in the yard which was insured,
but this was saved.
-Fhe building in immediate prox-
unity to the workshops was saved
with comparatively little loss. The

fire were burned, but that was all

The FOrty-SiXth Congress.

A careful scrutiny of the returns
from all the States shows the follow
ing as the result, so far as it is estab-
lished:
Democrats, I48 republicans, I3I !;
greenback republicans, 4 ; greenback
democrats, 4; one vacancy, the West
chester district one disputed district,
the Eleventh of Pennsylvania, and
four seats from California, which will
not be decided until next year
This makes a total Of 293 seats, of
which the democrats have clear ma
iority of three over all, giving all the
greenbackers, the vacancy, the dis
Duted seat and the California votes to
the republicans. The vacancy, in the
Westchester district, in this State, is
likely to be carried by the democrats.
The Pennsylvania disputed district Is
uncertain. But the eight greenback-
ers are equally divided, four being OF
democratic and four OF republican
leanings. They, therefore, do not
increase the strength of either side.
The result stands, therefore, practi-
cally, 14S democrats and I3I republi-
cans, with eight greenbackers and SIX
districts to be heard from.

Those who so loudly proclaim the
Greenback issue dead are likely to be
quickly undeceived. The Ohio idea
is one which the people are apt to In
sist on. The policy Of contraction
for the purpose Of specie payments IS
one which will continue to Cypress
every industry and all the trade of the
country. 1t is compelled to produce
still greater distress, and the question
arises whether greater distress can be
borne by the people. The eastern de-
mocracy may insist if they chose on
increasing the value of money and de-
creasing the value of labor and prop
erty, but the people will be the suffer

Mrs. Mary Dyer repeatedly warned
John Foster, a tavern-keeper, at Clear
field street and Trenton avenue, not to
sell liquor to her Incorporate husband.
Dyer was absent from home on a three
days spree this week. Hearing that he
was in Fosters saloon, Mrs. Dyer went
there on Thursday afternoon and tried to
induce him TO go home. He and Foster
attacked and beat her and expelled her
from the saloon. She had them arrested.
When the case was called before Magis-

Mrs. Dyer had been called several times
without response, a policeman informed
the Magistrate, who had been skimming
from one case to another in the hope
that WITNESSES might put in an appear

day morning for throwing stones and
breaking the windows in Fosters place.
