EDWIN BOOTH ON RHEUMATISM Edwin
Booth suffers terribly sometimes from
rheumatism, and ii he were not one of the
most amiabIe of mortals, would, doubtless
indulge in vigorous Anglo-Saxon, exple-
tives. He takes refuge, however, 10 a
well smoked corp-cob pipe when the attack
is on him, using no other medical treat
ment than preparation originally tested
by his brotherin law, S. II. Magonigle.
This affords him almost instant relief, and
in place ot indulging ID profanity when the
rheumatism nips bin. he calls for Giles

Catarrhal
POI S ON

Wei De Meyers Treatise ON Catarrh,
explains the following important facts:
/. That Catarrhal Colds become poi
sonous infection, AZ first local, and finally
constitutional.
,. That, being Constitutional, the infection Is
beyond the reach Of mere local remedies
3. That impurities in the nostriis, are
necessarily swallowed into the stomach and
inhaled into the lungs, thus poisoning the
Digestive, Respiratory and Genito-urinary organs.
4. That Catarrhal virus follows the mu-
cous membrane and causes Deafness. Dyspepsia,
Chronic Diarrhea, Bronchitis, Leucorrhea
and Consumption,
5. That Smokes. Douches, Inhalations, and
Insoluble S1uffs. cannot possibly remove in
fectious inlammations from the organs named.
6. That an antidote 1or Catarrh must pos

Beck said the Postmaster General had no
case, no excuse. He had made il neces-
sary to take 100000 out of the treasury
to cover up his misdolngs. The mouey
must be appropriated. He would vote for
the bill, but not until Congress had plainly
told the department it had done wrong and
that the laws had been violated He then
spoke of the way in which the money had
been spent, giving sketches of peculiar
contracts on several routes and the mar
veilous sums paid contractors. He thought
Brady an honest man, but tool of others.
Contractors wanted not more trips but
faster trips, so they could build up pri-
vate express business.
Mr.. Teller defended the department
Il had full discretionary power, Nobody
East knows the sufferlDgs of those in the
West from lack of adequate mail facilities.
Considering the growth of the Western
States, he thought the department had
used Its discretion wisely and economically.
Mr.. Garland declared that the worst
that could be said of the department was
that 1t had misused Its discretion 1t 81, it
nad done 1t under great pressure from
eminent men all over the country.
Mr.. Booth argued that the service is

question Is whether service ordered was
necessary or not. The postmaster general
had the discretion TO close star routes 10
other parts OF the country to save money,
to put new service where required in the
west. Ii this were done in order TO enable
him to keep within the appropriation,

look at this question more as western
people now do. He believed the postmas

Mr.. Davis, of West Virginia. stated
that the debate showed that there was no
opposition to the bill itself. He was
authorized by the maj ority of the commit
tee on appropriations to offer the following
as third section which would take the
place of the preamble: Nothing in this act
contained shall be deemed or construed as
a ratification of any unlawful act or omis-
sion of any officer of the United States or
affect any proceeding therein.
Mr.. Blaine stated that as a member of
the committee he was opposed to both the
preamble and proposed amendment
Mr.. Plumb opposed the amendment
prohibiting further increase of troops. 1t
was unjust to the growing communities of

IrelandFs New Government.

A Dublin dispatch to the London Times
says: 'lt Is hardly correct to say anarchy pre-
walls in Ireland, for there is very distinct and
potent Government which is rapidly super
seding the Imperial Government, and is obtain
ing ascendency. 1t rules with an iron hand and
promptitude which enforces instant obedience.
Its code is clear, its Executive resolute, its ma
chinery complete, and its action uniform.
There is Government de fdcto and Govern
ment de jure, the former welding a power
whhc is felt and feared, and the latter exhibit
ing only pomp, but little reality of power.
The former is terror to welldoers, the latter
no terror to evildoers. The law Of the Land
League is becoming the law of the land, and
while the law of the State is COSTLY
and to q large extent suspended, the new
law is effectively administered, cheaply and
conveniently. League courts are springing up
in various places, and people are instructed to
have their disputes decided by such courts, and
to 60 no moro to Sessions. Local Magistrates
in the west of Ireland have lately been surprised
to find no cases brought before them except by
police. The people have been for some time
advised to take this course, but they are now
beginning to act thereon. As rule the penal
ties which said courts have power of inflicting
posed under the statutes. Another function of
the new Government, the levying Of taxes, is
most effectively fulfilled. No rate assigned by
law is half as promptly paid as the tax which
the League imposes. Licenses to sell at fairs
and in markets are required by the new Gov
ernment, and their production is enforced by
summary process. The only element wanting
to continue the new Government body of
country, is standing army, but the materials
for one are at hand and are being fitted for
use when called upon. knowledge of this fact
creates deeper alarm, because with an armed
and disaffected population around them, loyal
subjects of the Queen in many places believe
that the danger which looms beneath it is more
formidable than visable terror. This fear is
rather confirmed than allayed by the military
preparations Of the Government, and the ar
rival of the battalion of Coldstream Guards
and an order for two more regiments of troops,
indicate the authorities consciousness Of i'm
| pending danger"

Humboldt and the Lunatic

"Great wits are sure to madness near
allied" and a quaint anecdote, taken
from Humboldt's "Wenderiahre, aptly
demonstrates how readily even so keen
an observer as the great German traveller
may mistake genius for a lunatic. Dur
ing one of his many sojourns in Paris,
Humboldt, who took deep interest in
the mysteries of mental alteration, con-
ceived a desire to converse intimately
with some incurable maniac, and re-
quested one of his scientific friends, an
eminent mad doctor, to give him the
opportunity of meeting one of his more
remarkable patients. A few days later
he received an invitation from the
specialist in question to supper, and on
his arrival at his friends house found
two strange gentleman awaiting him,
neither OF whom was formally introduced
to him by his Amphitryon One was an
elderly gentleman of grave demeanor,
dressed in the height Of the prevailing
fashion, by no means talkative, and man.
ifestly devoted to the pleasures of the
table. The other was a comparatively
young man, extremely excitable in man
ner, with long, disheveled hair, ill-made
clothes, and SO exuberantly voluble
That he all but monOpollzed the con-
versation throughout the evening, al
though Humboldt himself was one of the
most loquacious men alive. This wild
looking person displayed extraordinary
versatility and restlessness in his talk,
which teemed with paradoxes, and dealt
with an infinite variety of subjects.
Humboldt listened to his brilliant
ramblings with absorbing interest, and
upon taking leave of his host at late
hour of the night expressed his gratitude
for the psychological experience afforded
him, observing that "the mailman had
amused him beyond all measure" "How
is that?" exclaimed the doctor; s'you
scarcely exchanged word with him al
the evening"" 81 mean, of course" re-
joined Humboldt, "that excitable young
man." ''You are altogether mistaken
the mailman was that quiet, decorout
old gentleman. "And who, then, was
