Advice to ~Consumptiyes.

The celebrated physician, Dr.. Paul Me-
meyer, gives the following valuable sugges.
tons to persons suffering from lung afec.
tions. 1.-The patient must with scrupulous
conscientiousness insist upon breathing
fresh, pure air, and must remember that the
air of closed rooms is always more or less
bad. No man. however uncleanly,
would drink muddy, dirty water.
A party which occupies a room for
hours, breathing the same air, might
be compared to a party of bathers
drinking the water in which they batke.
The patient must keep the window of his
bedroom open. Night air is fresh air with
out daylight. In close, crowded rooms,
the patient suffering from lung complaints
breathes consumptively." By taking these
precautions and using DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and Pleasant Purgative
Pellets, fully one-half of the cases Of lung
complaints would be cured in six months.
For cough and irritation of the lungs do
not always indicate the presence of con.
sumption although it may result in that
disease, and if consumption has already be,
come deeply seated in the system, this il
the most efficient course of treatment tina
can be pursued outside of any institution
that provides special facilities for the treat
ment of this disease. DR.. Pierce's cele
brated Invalid's Hotel is such an institu
ton. Send stamp for descriptive pamphle
containing also a complete treatise upoI
consumption, explaining its causes, nature
and the best methods of treating it, togethel
with valuable hints concerning diet, cloth
ing, exercise, ETC., for consumptives. AID

An Encltlas executive se..,ou.

One of the most extraordinary and ex.
citing executive sessions held for years took
place in the United States Senate, on the
Sd inst, over the New York nominations of
the President, resulting in their confirma-
ton, the majority for Merritt being nine,
and for Burt twelve. The doors were closed
at one O'Clock, and not opened till after
eight, and for the entire seven hours the
Senate Chamber is described as the scene of
great excitement, at times approaching
general uproar. An analysis of the vote
and of pairs on General Merritt's nomina-
tion shows that twenty-seven Democrats
and thirteen Republicans favored confrma-
ton, and t~wenty.three Republicans and
seven Democrats were opposed to it. One
Independent, Davis, of Illinois, voted
eeainst confirmation. Four Democrats
who were present refrained from voting,
and one Democrat was absent without a
pair.

Duel vith Knives I'm a Rau.Roona.


The particulars of a dreadful duel with
knives in a ballroom at Cedar Hill, Texas,
are as follows: Two young men, Samuel
Tomlinson and George McGregor, were at
the ball, at which were collected
young ladies and gentlemen of the best
society. Among the dancers was
Miss Burdett, engaged to marry Tomlin.

Burdett for the next dance, and a quarrel
arose, but McGregor triumphantly led the
lady out on the floor. Tomlinson, enraged
with jealousy, drew a pocket-knife, and at
tackled his rival as he and the girl were
swinging corners. AcGregor also drew his
knife, and a terrible fight ensued, both be-
ing badly stabbed. The ballroom floor ran
with blood. Miss BsSdett tainted. McGregor
is thought to be fatally cut.

In a recent discussion in the Senate on
pension arrears, Mr.. Davis w. Va.) said ne
understood that it would take $~34,OOO,OOoto
pay arrears of pensions in the cases now on
the roll. and there were loo 1000 yet to go on
the roll, some of which would receive $1,000
or 81, 200 arrearage. Although there were a
great many deserving persons, he thought
Congress had gone too far. He believed the
bill granting arrearages of pensions would
take $50, 600, 900 from the Treasury. Ine
Commissioner of Pensions had said thai
twenty per cent of the pensions were
fradulently paid. Mr.. Beck said the Com
missioner of Pensions told the Committee
ON Appropriations that twenty per cent. OF
all pensions now paid were fraudulent. de
incurred if the Committee on Pensions was
aware of that fact, and if any steps had been
taken to remedy the evils. Mr.. Ingalls,
Chairman ofthe Committee on Pensions, re-
plied that the committee had been SO in
formed, but Congress had not sustained the
committee in the measures brought for
ward to prevent wrongs. The Pension
Bureau had been making efforts, year after
year, to detect fraudulent cases, and last
year, through the efforts Of the bureau,
$780, 900 had been saved.

N. T., the other day. Barricading them
selves in Harris house, fully armed, they

A source Of Much BODILY EVIL.

If the habit of body becomes irregular,
much evil is inflicted IN the system. The
stomach becomes ~dyspeptic, bilious symp.
toms develop themselves, the circulation is
contaminated, and the nerves share in the
general disorder. 1t is of the utmost i'm
portance that the bowels should be thor
oughly and speedily regulated when they
grow derelict. The corrective agent best
adapted to this purpose is Hostetter's Stom.
ach Bitters, a wholesome, non-griping vege-
table laxative, worth all the rasping cathar-
tics invented since the time of Paracelsus.
People who have been in the habit of using
blue pill, calomel, and other drugs and
cheap nostrums for constipation, should
abandon such hurtful and useless medicines
and substitute for them this pleasant and
gentle aperient, which not only produces
the purgative effect naturally, but also
strengthens while it regulates the bowels,
stomach and liver. 1t moreover cures and
prevents intermittent and remittent feyers,
govt, rheumatism, debility and urinary
troubles.

vassel, mother of an officer of hussars who
was imprisoned many years ago at Oran for
conspiring against the Empire, and treated
so badly that his mother wrote to Napoleon
III as follows: "My son, an officer
OF the French army, a Republican
like myself, is treated by your
iailers at Oran as If he we're a savage beast.
He is made to sleep OF the wet ground; he
is deprived of air and light; he is half
starved in short, he is dying gradually 1t
would be more generous on your part to
put an end to his sufferings. 1 therefore
pray you to have my child shot at once.

shall Valiant, Nine. Vassel was not arrested,
and her son was treated a little better, but
he died a short time after from a malady
caught in prison.

THERE is a mule driven on one of the
First South-street cars apparently a lit
tie more sensible than others. 1t is gen.
orally on the morning shift, and has to
make five round trips before the team is

mule comes on the fifth return trip from
the upper end of the line, it begins to
whinny a half a block before reaching
Second East-street, and if the change
team does not happen to be waiting, and
the driver has to run to the bank cor
