Washington Correspondence of the Philadelphia

George H. Williams, of Oregon, who
was chief justice of the territory, Il
member of the state convention, Il six
years senator in congress, Il member
of the joint high commission that made
the treaty of Washington, attorney
general of the United States, and NOM
inee for chief justice Of the supreme
court, went out of Office six years ago
$l2O, 600 in debt. He sent his family
to Europe, where they could live
cheaply, he rented his handsome house
and buckled down to the practice ofhis
profession. AS natural consequence
in a man of his ability and position, he
got some very heavy cases, and he prac-
ticed in every court in which he could
get a client. He worked night and day,
he took no rest, and lived closely. The
result is that he is now out of debt, his
family is back from Europe, and he is
living again in his handsome house.
He is now thinking of again returning
to Oregon and trying to get back into
the senate. Ifhe succeeds, a few more
years may find him again out Of public
life and 500, 600 in debt again.

The Result Of a Practical Joke.

The funeral of Miss Clar, Bagnall
recently took place from her mothers
residence, Indiantown, N. B. The story
of her sad life should be /, warning to
practical jokers. Several years ago,
while the deceased was but girl, a
gentleman of her acquaintance thought
he would play joke on her, never i'm
agining for a moment that is would re-
suit SO seriously as it did. He arrayed
himself in diabolical rig and pre-
scented himself before her. She was
naturally of a weak and nervous tenn
permanent. and the shock that her
nerves experienced by the frightful ap-
partition proved too much for her. She
fell in a fit, only to wake Il raving
maniac. For five or six years her
friends managed to keep her at home,
until her health began to fail, when
they very reluctantly decided upon
sending her to the asylum. She lin
gered there for some time, until death
relieved her Of her suffering.

Mr.. R. Sigel, from Monroeville, Ind,

informed us that he had read in our

tested the real worth of the remedy.
The case of Mrs. Sigel was declared q
hopeless one by some of the best ply
sicians. Having tried almost everything,
she concluded also to use Hamburg
Drops. With the use of the first bottle
came relief, and about five bottles of
the remedy cured Mrs. 6igel.

L Sure Mosquito Killer.

The Pyrethratna T0se1ln., or 'Persian
cham0mile," is the powdered leaf of a
harmless flower growing in Caucasian
Asia in great profusion, where for CEN
turtles it has been used to rid the ma
tives of unwelcome guests from the in
sect world. It can be purchased of al
most any reliable druggist at about
seventy cents per pound, all ready pre-
pared for use.
With a finely powdered dust made
from these flowers, the mosquito, the
house-fy, the wicked flea, and the dis
gushing CSmerlectula'iats may all be put
to flight or murdered. tits only neces-
sary to heap up into a little cone one
teaspocnful of the drug pyrethrum,
touch it with lighted match, and
watch the thin blue line of smoke as it
rises to the ceiling and is waited
through the air, changing the busy
drone of insect life into weak wall of
insect woe. Pretty soon down they
come plump on to the table and over
your paper, spin on their tiny backs,
and then sheath their lancets, curl up
their hair-like legs and are no more.
Smoke from the Persian chamomile,
or it's dusty powder, is most emcacious,
but the purity of the drug must be as
sured. It must have a bright buff
color, be light, readily burned, and give
a pleasant tea-like fragrance; one
pinch should kill dozen flies confined
in a bottle at once; where it fails of
these properties it has been adultera-
ted.
In common use in large or breezy
rooms, where from great dilution it
fails to kill, it nevertheless produces on
insect life, thaough its volatilized essen
tial oil or resin, undoubted nausea,
vertigo, respiratory spasm, and paral
ysis. It acts upon them through the
minute spiracles, the breathing tubes,

EUROPEAN EVENTS.
DIpHTHERIA IN RUSSIA

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. S.-The local Red
Cross society of Kharkopf in view of the ter
rible distress prevailing in the province,
through the ravages of diphtheria, have found
three medical and sanitary detachments to as
sist the government to combat the epidemic.
GERMANY AND FRANCE.
BERLIN, Jan. S.-A semi-official newspaper,
the Post, says: President Grevy's reception
to diplomatic representatives in Paris, New
Years day, has given rise to conjecture that the
German government, through preliminary i'll
quiries ascertained the intention of De Frey
cinet's cabinet. We consider that the suppo-
sition, as well as the idea, that there were any
doubts on the subject, are entirely incorrect.
We rather think, Prince Hohenlohe, German
AMBASSADOR to France, without asking for in
etructions from Berlin, expressed the belief
held by the German government that the pres
emit French ministry will continue the foreign
policy of its predecessor. Such instructions
would scarcely be necessary, since the German
government never had nor will have doubts on
the subject so long as there is no positive rea-
sons for them. We know, at least, that the par
tial change in the French cabinet has been re-
marked here as the necessity of the home
policy, and not as the beginning of new era
in the foreign policy of France.
MEMORIAL TO THE PRINCE IMPERIAL.
PARIS, Jan. S.-Subscriptions for the me-
mortal to the prince imperial has closed, the
amount subscribed being 100000 francs. The
memorial committee propose to erect a chapel
at an elevated point between the Arc de
Triumphe and Hotel des Invalids.
THE QUEEN OF SPAIN.
1t is stated in medical circles the health of
the queen of Spain has received a severe shock
owing to the attempted assassination of Al
fonso. She has been attacked with epileptic
fits, to which she was not previously subject.

Justice to Gen. Hancock.
New York Star.

No impression derived from events connect.
ed with the murder of President Lincoln has
struck more tenaciously than that holding Gen.
Hancock responsible for the execution of Mrs
Surratt.
The injustice of it has been shown over and
over again, and yet at intervals it is revived and
discussed as if its utter groundlessness had
never been exposed.
10 ALL therefore, who are interested in The
removal of such a blot from the reputation OF
gallant soldier, it will be pleasant tidiDgs
that the daughter of the unfortunate woman
has authorized the publication Of a statement
to the effect that she entirely acquits Gen.
Hancock of responsibility for her mothers
death.
Gen. Hancock" she says, had nothing to
do with it. suppose he only did his duty as
a soldier by obeying orders.'
But she goes still further, and fearlcssly in
dicatcs the real authors of that judicial muir
der Stanton and Gen. Holt were the only
men who controlled the President and they are
the guilty Ones"
The conclusion which she reaches has already
become the verdict of history. Had either of
these men earnestly interceded to prevent the
execution of what they must have known was
a judgment unsupported by evidence, the
President would have had the only encourage.
meut he needed for an exercise of the clemency
to which his own sense of mercy and injustice
inclined him.
