A COCPLE Ui eXcitable congressman
almost came to blows on the floor of the
House, yesterday. Their friends held
them back. We hardly know why. Peo-
pie have a fashion of interfering to keep
their friends from coming to blows.
Why, we do not know. They will sit by
while they are giving one another a
tongue-lashing and consider it none of
their business to interfere; but they step
in when it comes to Il nose-mashing.
That is folly. And especially is it
folly for people to lift up their hands in
holy horror at a fist fight in Congress
when they think nothing. of bat
tie Of words. 1t is natural for
men to want to fight when they
get excited: and we rather think
that congressman had better be left to
fight out their battles. To be sure it is
objectionable us a disturbance of the
peace of the House: but room should be
provided to which the belligerents should
be invited to retire and settle their diff
ference under the rules of the ring. Let
the rules be amended accordingly.

ously with thd shooting Warganz, whose

and the lookers-on the ball lodged in the
head of the unfortunate bartender. He

CoUGHs.-"Brown's Bronchial Troches
are used with advantage to alleviate cough,
sore throat, hoarseness and bronchial affec-
tons. For thirty years these Troches have
been in use, with annually increasing favor.
They are not new and untried, but, having
been tested by wide and constant use for
nearly an entire generation, they have at
tanned well-merited rank among the few
staple remedies of the age.
The THRoAT-"Brown's Bronchial Tro-
ches" act directly on the organs of the
voice. They have an extraordinary effect
in all disorders of the throat and larnyx, re-
storing a healthy tone when relaxed, either
from cold or over-exertion of the voice, and
produce clear and distinct enunclation.
Speakers and singers find the Troches use
full.
A COUGH, COLD, CATARRH of sore throat
requires immediate attention, as neglect Of
tentimes results in some incurable lung dis
eases. Browns Bronchial Trochcs" almost
invariably give relief. limitations are offer
ed for sale, many of which are injurious.
The genuine browns Bronchial Trochesn
