The Parting Banquet.

The continued ovation which has attended
the footsteps Of General Grant ever since he
landed in San Francisco has now come to
an end. On Saturday evening last he was
rendered farewell banquet by the citizens
of San Francisco at the Palace hotel. Every
means had been taken to render the affair
the most perfect of the kind ever given in
the city. The company consisted of about
two hundred and fifty of the most eminent
men of the city. The decorations Of the
banquet hall were most elaborate. The
tables presented an elegant appearance, and
the menu was engraved on solid silver, in
tended to serve the guests as souvenirs of
the occasion. That prepared for General
Grant was of massive gold. Mayor Bryant
presided and toasted the guest of the even
ing in speech, to which the latter responded
as follows
Gentlemen of San Francisco The unbounded
| hospitality and cordially have received since
| first put my foot the soil OF California has
| taken deep root In my heart. 1t was more than
could have expected, and, while 1t entailed some
| little fatigue at times, assure you | have been
grateful for It, have previously been In Califor-
| mia and on the Pacific coast, but have been away
| quarter Of a century, and when | landed here
| the last time found that none OF the pioneers
| had grown old. But II | should remain away
| another quarter OF a century, might be COM
| PEELED to confess that some Of you had grown old
and want to see you again in your prime and
youth Gentlemen, in taking my departure |
want to thank you all for the farewell reception
| given me this evening and to express the hope
| that, whether or not am to have the happiness
ever to visit your city again, shall at least meet
one and all of you elsewhere, and II it should not
be in this lfe that it may be in better country"

Madame Anderson's Walk.

CHICAGO, March IT. Madame Anderson
stopped walking shortly before 10 o'clock to-
night, when she should have completed the
2,066 quarters miles in consecutive ten minutes.
In point of fact she has taken three rests dur
ing her walk and has failed to walk twelve of
the quarters. This spoils the record, but her
friends claim that owing to a trifing over
length of the track she has done an amount of
walking more than equal to her task, ,notwith-
standing her rests. Her last quarter was done
in 2:29 and she is in good condition. She be-
gins to walk shortly in New York. " 4 IS

The only way to cure catarrh is by the use Of
a cleansing and healing lotion, applied to the
infamed and diseased membrane. Snuffs and
fumigators, while affording temporary relief,
irritate the affected parts and excite a more
extended Inflammation. Besides, no outward
application alone can cure catarrh. The dis
ease originates in vitiated stats Of the blood,
and thorough Alternative course of treatment
is necessary to remove it from the system.
DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy has long been
known as an efficient standard remedy for
this disease, but, to insure radical and per-
manent cure, it should be used in conjunction
with DR.. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery,
the best vegetable Alternative yet discovered
The Discovery cleanses the vitiated blood,
while the Catarrh Remedy allays the int1am-
nation and heals the diseased tissues.

Chased by an Eagle.
REMARKABLE SCENE IN M1D-A1I

A gentleman in the neighborhood of
Centreville, Md, vouches for the follow
ing, which he himself witnessed. He
says: 81 and my son were standing near
the farmhouse, in an open field, when
size of small birds far up in the air, cir
cling and darting hither and thither.
We watched closely, and after awhile
they approached more nearly the earth.
We then discovered that they were two
ducks and bald eagle the eagle en-
deavoring to capture the ducks, and the
ducks exerting themselves to elude their
pursurer. Far away in the distance we
could discern the main fuck, from which
the two ducks had been separated, fly
ing steadily to the cover of the forest.
The eagle would first poupce upon one
and then relinquish it, in order to cap
ture the other. Dropping that he would
return to his first capture, seemingly
like the dog in the fable, greedy to Sc
cure both. This was kept up for some
time, when the eagle, suddenly darting
forward, struck one OF the birds with his
talons, then swooplng upon the other
struck that too. The first bird fell at
our feet; we had hardly time to pick it
up when the other fell, with the eagle
following. We picked up the second
one, and the eagle observing our pres
ence flew screaming away. On exami-
nation it was found that the eagle had
struck the ducks on the head, nearly
severing the beads from their bodies.
They were fine-sized canvas backs, and
we had them cooked for dinner" The
witnesses Of the affair are persons of un-
doubted veracity.

Iron Refrigerator Cars.

There have recently been forwarded to
the south, via the New York Il New
England road, six Tiffany refrigerator
cars which have been constructed for the
Atlantic Coast Line, by the National
Tube Works Co., OF this city. These
cars were built here, and have all been
devo5ed to the business of strawberry
transportation from Charleston, S. c.
The berries 60 to Portsmouth, Va, and
are thence transferred TO the steamers for
the New York and Boston markets.
The total weight of the particular
car referred 10 above was 23,0OO fbs.,
while alongside of it there happened to
be Pennsylvania refrigerator car which
was marked as weighing $4,000 TBS. The
expectation Is that hereafter the company
will be able to build similar cars having
total weight of only about 21,0O0 lbs.
These new cars on the Atlantic Coast
Line have already attracted much atten-
.ion, and received the compliments of
railroad men who have seen them, as
well as given great satisfaction TO ship
pers. Four similar cars, also of the
Tiffany pattern, are being built here by
the National Tube Company for the
Canada Southern Line, and are to be
used in conveying fresh beef from the
West to Bosom.
A visit to the factory this week gave an
opportunity TO examine these novel cars
in different stages of progress, and de-
scriptiOn of one will answer for ALL
There are four iron sills TO car, each
sill being constructed of three two-inch
iron tubes or pipes, and the four stills are
bolted together with steel rods running
across the car every l6 or 19 inches.
The sides and Top of the frame are of
steel rods running crossways and longi-
tudinally and firmly bound together.
This substantially forms the framework
or skeleton of the car. The Tiffany sys-
TEN of refrigeration includes wooden
sheathing within and without, and the
principle consists of three dead air spaces
between and throughout. These air.
spaces have an additional protection by
being paper-lined. The doors are double
and have india-rubber bearings to make
everything alright. The ice chamber
is on top, the car being nearly two feet
higher than an ordinary freight car. The
external appearance of these cars is not
unlike other refrigerator cars, except that
the iron sills referred to are not sheathed
in with wood.-BostonJ Journal OF Com
