The Old. Old Story.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2o.-Internal Revenu.
Collector Marks, at New Orleans, has for
warded to Commissioner Raum a letter re
ceived from Deputy Collector B. II. Lanier,
who has charge of the upper parishes of Lou
isiana, bordering on the river. The letter is
dated Lake Providence, Nov. 10, and says:
In consequence of my candidature for con-
gress upon the republican ticket, spirit OF
intolerance which prevails here, and attempts
which have been made to assassinate me, the
assassination OF DR.. W. B. Jones, editor of
my paper, because of his active support of the
Garfield electors and myself, renders it utter
ly impossible for me properly to discharge my
duties as deputy collector of internal revenue
in this district. In addition l have to i'll
form you that am at this moment prisoner
IN my own house, land dare not go out for fear
of immediate assassination. l find it also
necessary to leave this collection district, at
least for the present, to secure my personal
safety. Please advise me what to do in the
premises.
In reply Gen. Raum telegraphed Collector
Marks, at New Orleans, as follows:
l do not intend to allow our officers to be
intimidated and driven from their districts.

arm them well TO accompany Deputy Col.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2l.-The Inter Oceans
Washington special says: Gen. Grants state
ment at New York dinner to the effect that
he thought this country had done enough for
him, is looked upon here as an expression OF
djsapprobatiun of the New York Times
scheme to raise an endowment fund. Very
little interest was ever taken in the matter
and it is observed that the Times has aban-
doued Its intention.
Secretary Sherman called to-day to deny
the stories that had been published yesterday
regarding the expenses Of his delegation at
Chicago to the effect that they had been paid
by Gov. Foster. He said he thought it best
to make no statement on the subject, not
wishing to be drawn irtO such controversy.
He said, how ever, that there were gentlemen
in Ohio who were fully acquainted with all
the facts but for obvious rasnns he did not
wish to say anything himself. Friends Of
Secretary Sherman say that he met loeraily
every demand made on him and that ii
there were any unpaid bills at Chicago in
connection with the Ohio delegation, the sec
retary knew nothing of it. Among the re-
publicans here generally, there is disgust that
so much controversy should have arisen as
has been precipitated in Ohio about board and
lunch bills at Chicago. 1t is regarded as very
small business at best. 1t is noticed that all
dispatc ches from Columbus about it are very
favorable TO Foster. 1t is thought here by
some that the whole disagreeab!e buslncSs
has been sprung just now for the purpose o
irving to injure Shermans CHANCES for the
senate anh 20 what extent Gov. Foster is re
sponsible for injecting such matters IN a cam
paign is not known.

A Married Woman's Trials.

A lady living in tho southern part of

a few evenings ago, waiting for her hus.

her bedroom and she was in the parlor.
Hearing a noise outside of the door-yard
fence, as If q man who was drunk was
trying to find the gate, she went out,
and sure enough . drunken man was
there. She helped him into the parlor
as she had been used to doing, and placed
him carefully on the lounge. After q
hard struggle she got his coat and vest
of, and then came to his feet. Che
pulled at least five minutes at the boots

of, but they would not come at length

BOLOGNA SAUSAGE.
The Climate in the Adiroudacks.

The Adirondacks have been found BY
DR.. A. L. LOOMS to possess advantages
of climate, atmosphere and soil highly
beneficial to consumptives. He has pub
lished q statement of the cases of 20
pulmonary invalids who gave the region
an extended trial. Of these, 10 recov.
cred, 6 were improved, 2 were not bene-
fted, and 2 died. The climste is more
favorable to catarrhal phthisis than any
other phase of consumption, IA of the
patients who recovered or improved
being of the former class. DR.. LOOMS
expressesth the opinion that fbreus phthisis
does better in higher attitudes, a. in
Colorado, and that climate has little
beneficial effect upon tubercular phthisis.
He advised . number of his
patients to spend the winter in
the Adirondacks, and those who
did 30 found that their improvement was
far more rapid during the winter than
al examination of their lungs showed
that the arrest in the morbid processes
and the establishment of the curative
processes were more marked in winter
than in summer. The best authorities
now regard purity of atmosphere a. one
of the most Important climatic elements
in the treatment of consumption. The
climate of the Adirondack region may
be generally regarded as moist and cool,
with some very cold weather during the
winter. But it is free from that damp
ness which 10 x injurious to persons
whose lungs are affected. This is largely
owing to the fact that the surface of the
country ia elevated and u~ndulating and
the soil light and sandy, thereby insur-
ing good drainage. The atmosphere IL
said to be remarkably pure and is
heavily laden with the resinous odors
exhAled from the pine, balsam, spruce,
and hemlock trees that abound in this re-.
gion. The advantages of elevation are
also found here. Within the heart OF
the Adirondacks Il . plateau 100 by $50
