several months travel with Grant thro'
India, China, and Japan. The old gen

porter whether Grant would accept a
nomination for Il third term is reported
to have said

GEORGE II. WILLIAMS was Grant 5
attorney General. and when Chief Jus
tice Chase died the second Washing
ton. '' with full knowledge of Williams
msavory reputation, insulted the corm-
try and the Senate 10y sending his name
to that body as Judge Chase 5 successor.
Grant was driven, however, by the ire
sistiblc force of public topinion, pro-
claimed by the American press, to with
draw the nomination in order to prevent
its overwhelming rejection. Williams,
who still lives in Washington, appears in
a recent inverview as SAYING Il am
satisfied. however. as | have been all
along. that Grant does not seek. neither
will he accept, the nomination, unless
convinced that it is for the salvation of

like George II. Williams expressing his
SOlicitudc for the salvation of the coun-
try through third term of Grantism.

drake, Y elbow Dock-with the IOdides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the
most efiicacious medicine vet known
for the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfullv
combined that the full Alternative
effect of each is assured. and while
it is so mild as to be harmless even
TO children. it is still so effectual as
to purge out from the system those
impurities and corruptions which
develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence
which prominent ply sicians all over
the country repOse in il proves their
experience of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues
have accumulated. and are con-
stantly being received. and as many
of these cases are publicly known,
they furnish convincing evidence of
the superiority of this Sarsaparilla
over every other Alternative medicine.
So generally is its superiority to any
other medicine known that we need
do no more than to assure the public
that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.

Chicago, April 2.-Miss Marco, of
the Strakosch opera troupe, has left it
and gone to New York, where she will
enter suit against Max Strakosch. 1t
seems by her story that Max had en-
gagged her for 5000 a month and ex-
penses to 60 to California and sing the
same roles as Lotta, but that yesterday
he sent her a note with check for her
salary due and an intimation that he
would not take her to California, be-
cause she had lost her voice. She an
swered that she had gone to considera-
BILE expense for the California trip and
that this hasty action would do her
great damage. Strakosch denies the
existence of any contract with her, and
says he declined to take her to Califor-
mia because Manager Mcguire did not
want her.

prominent colored gentlemen who have
been most active in relieving while
here and assisting to their destination
the colored emigrants from the south,
issued this afternoon an appeal for aid
to all generous and charitable people
throughout the country, setting forth
that of late, scores Of colored people
have been landed on the wharf here,
fleeing from inhuman treatment by
white leaguers and from second slav-
cry. Their struggle to reach the free
west should receive the attention of
liberty-loving men and women every
where, and they appeal to all such for
means to assist them in finding new
homes. Any contributions sent will

the purchase of lands in Kansas, to be
sold at cost price to members actually
settling them. 1t proposes erecting a

use until families are able to provide
separate shelter; also will loan money to
colonists when embarrassed through

ment is in the interest of Irish labor

church, and is supposed to be backed
by Irish capitalists. The principal
office will be in New York city.
