A Remarkable Result.

1t makes no Offence how many ply
sicians, or how much medicine you
have tried, it is now an established
fact that German Syrup is the only re-
medy which has given complete salts
faction in severe cases of Lung Dis
eases. 1t is true there are yet thou
sands ofpersons who are predisposed
to throat and Lung Affections, Com
sumption, Hemorrhages, Asthma, Sc
we're Colds, settled on the breast, Pine
umonia. Whooping Cough. &c, who
have no personal knowledge of Bos-
chees German Syrup. To such we
would say that $4,000 dozen were sold
last year without one complaint. Con-
sumptives try just one bottle. Regu-
lar size IS cents. Sold by all druggists

The high appreciation in which our Illus
trious Senator, Blackjack Logan, is held
by the outside world, cannot be better
shown than by the article we present from
the n. Y. World.
That the long haired Senator from Lii.
nois should be ranked lower than the bow.
legged Senator from Wisconsin, is humili-
ating indeed, but we must pay the penalty
for having elected such ''densely ignorant
and unprincipled demagogue:"
"Of the Republican senators just chosen
Mr.. Matt Carpenter will probably add most
strength to the minority in which he will
begin his service Mr.. ConkIing, fortu-
-ately or unfortunately, takes little inter
est IN public affairs, his eloquence being
restricted to those executive sessions in
which his patronage is threatened. Our
Washington dispatches give an outline of
the services to which be is supposed to owe
his reelection. The Connecticut man is
extensively unknown, although q cores =
pendent OF our esteemed contemporary the
tribune, atterl taking week to find out
something about him, announces as the
result Of his researches that Mr.. Platt is
not really obscure, although everybody
seems to think so. As for Logan, if ILL
nols can stand being represented by him,
there is little reason why anybody outside
of Illinois should object, except
that Logan disgraces the senate as be dis
graces his state almost as etfectually as he
could have done by common drunkenness
or highway robbery, by the simple process
OF appearing in his own character as
densely Ignorant and unprinciped dema-
gogue. de was always sure to take the
meanest and lowest view of any case ad.
mitted, and tho pity of his reelection is
that 1t appears to show that his constituents
approve OF this. Mr. Matt Carpenter is
not by any means an ideal senator. He is
neither very dignifed nor very judicial
nor very public spirited man. But he is
u bright, keen-witted lawyer, Of high
standing in his profession, and his service
in the senate, where he prepared more
than one important report, showed that he
could do official work 10 a worknaulike
way. He will shine all the brighter by
contrast with his colleague, Mr.. Cameron,
who has wisely confined bis senatorial exer-
tons to voting, though he took his pen in
bis hand and made mess of himself with
It In an insane contribution which be not
long ago sent to the North american
Rerteao. Those who consider the result of
the senatorial elections in Connecticut,
New ork and Illinois will agree with US
that wisconsin deserves to be cougratula-
ted"

for mine eyes have seen the New York
Tribune eudeavoring to account for the
transmission of cipher dispatches. That
paper has reached the conclusion that
cipher messages may be sent by politicians
without anything wrong being intended
and it thinks the iDviolabiIity of the tele.
graph has been grossly abused. Will any

Alarmed by the weight of its municipal
obligations, unable to pay the interest on
its indebtedness, to say nothing of the
principal; tax.burdened; disguised with the
whole financial outlook, the city ofMemphis
gave up the ghost. The legislature re-
pealed the charter under which the city
was organized, the mayor and the other
corporate bodies resigned, aud the corpo
ration, known as the city of Memphis,
passed out Of existence and became thing
of the past
Writs of mandamus had been issued out
of the United States Court, receiver had
been appointed to administer the affairs OF
the city and pay the interest on its bonded
indebtedness, and the public money on de-
post in the banks had been garnisheed.
All this is now of no avail, as the corpora
ton against which the writs issued has
ceased to exist. The Auently imaginative
leader writer of the Chicago Times has en-
deavored to aid the courts in the settle
ment of the new question involved in this
matter, by suggesting the way in which iu-
dicial power should manifest itself He
points out the proper course of the courts,
leads them into direct violation Of con-
stitutional states rights, and then, finding
the position he has reached untenable, he
becomes alarmed at the temerity of tho
court, and howls about the assumption Of
governmentalspowers by the civil servants
Of the government. 1t will require far
more legal lore than is possessed by the
Times man to settle the many vexed points
arising out of this case Of civil suicide, and
to DISTINGUISHED party, it would seem that
the people will lose more money in litiga-
ton than they would have done by paying
their debts.
A very knotty point is involved, and 9th
er heavily burdened cities will anxiously
watch the result Of this case, the first Of
the kind that has occurred in this country.

The following article from the New
York Tribune is very ingenious method
OF accounting for Republican cipher dis :
patches. Why did not the Tribune think
OF this when it went for Mr.. Tilden?
1T Is customary tor people who are
managing any enterprise, from a peanut
stand 10 Presidential election, to send
communications by mail or telegraph in
regard to their business; and because
they do not generally care to have all their
plans revealed to their rivals or opponents
they seal the letters that are transmitted

The Quccp or Disrarlir

Last year the World noted the strange
omission OF Mr.. Gladstone's name from
the list of the invited TO a state banquet
at Windsor. One would have thought
that on the more solemn occasion of the
royal wedding the blunder would not
have been repeated, but it was. 1t is
evidently wished in high quarters that
the people should well know that Mr..
Gladstone is ostracized. Iwonder wheth-
er this mark of lofty disapproval will
prevent their being moved by his clo-
quence, and perhaps, in their hunger,
from demanding that he shall he Consul!
Mr.. Gladstone's public and official scrv-
ices commenced under the late King,
and, as recent memoirs show, William ~
welcomed his first Parliamentary sue
cess, promptly reported TO the King by
the generous Minister to whom the Young
orator was opposed. 1t is forty-seven
years since he first became member of
Parliament-forty-iive since he first ac-
cepted office.
He was Secretary of State before
Lord Granville had even become Master
of the Buckhounds. Besides the present
incumbent, he is the only living man
who has served the Office Of First Minis
ter of the Crown. Whatever may be
thought Of Mr.. Gladstone as statesman,
his name is imperishably connected with
the history of the reign of which, we
may add, in famous words, "he has been
a great part" 1t is u pity that no place
was found for such man at Thursdays
celebration. Courts and courtiers are
much deceived if they think that their
fiouts can do him harm. What is to be
regretted is that the good and polite
ways of the earlier years of the reign
should be getting more and more neg
lected. 1t is within stones throw of
the costly mausoleum, in the chapel
which adjoins the one just taken from
Wolsey in order TO be made monumental
of later and purer fame, and this Of
fense against the healthy traditions of
the Albertine epoch has been perpetrated.
The country will regret to see the Court
giving way to feelings of fretful spite
and cat-like vindictiveness.

Once more the great family of Smith
has distinguished itself. At the very mo-
ment of certain death with mcrciless
savagcs surrounding him, calmly and in
trepidly Major Stewart Smith spiked a
gun, which otherwise would have been
of service to the enemy. Had he lived,
he would have received the Victoria
Cross, and there should be some official
recognition of this noble deed. I am by
no means clear but what il would be
well to decorate those who have died in
meriting the Cross. 1t would remain to
the family of the hero as record of his
gallantry. Under certain circumstances
too, it might be well to confer pension
on the nearest relative of officers who
have died faithful unto death, like this
heroic Major. For aught know to the
contrary, he may have wife and chill
dren, who will now be left unprovided
for.
