 For the past twenty years I was afflicted with Catarrh, which affected my throat to such an extent as to make my life a misery. I would wake up at night with sense of sui location, though some one was strangling me, expecting every moment to be my last. My suffering was so severe that I afraid to go to bed and often did not dare to. Ten years ago my hearing became also impaired from the effects of catarrh and gradually grew so bad that of late it was quite difficult for me to hear. Two months age I placed myself under Dr. Lighthills care, and there suit of his treatment has been truly wonder full The trouble in my throat is completely removed, sleep and breathe as comfortably as a baby, my hearing is restored, and my health has so much i'm proved that I feel like q new man. In fact such change for the better has been wrought in my case that I thank God daily from the bottom of my heart for bringing pr. Lighthil to Hartford and for directing me to him. I am GA years of age and have lived in Hartford county nearly all nay life, and if the blessings and prayers of an old man are of any avail, the happiness and pros perity of pr. Lighthin is assured

Don Cameron and the leading Philadelphia politicians are not at all pleased with the nomination of General Hartranft, at present postmaster of Philadelphia, to be collector of customs at that port. They wanted Tut ton, the present collector, to remain in office.
 Mrs. Spencer, of Washington, the woman suffragist who spoke in favor of woman suf- frage at the Greenbackers' national conven- tion, proved herself the right woman in the right place. When Denis Kearney declared that his wife had threatened to greet him on his return with hat-iron instead of kiss if he had anything to do with the woman suf- fragists, she quietly remarked that she was glad to know who was the head of Denis Rear ney's family.
 Editor Kinsella of the Democratic Brooklyn Eagle, who sat in Congress with Garfield some years ago, thinks that Garfeld's frank state ment of his connection with the Credit Mo bilier scheme disarms censure on that account. Garfield, '' says he, has not made great fortune through his public services. He is a man of inexpensive habits, of orderly life, and it is believed of moderate fortune. It would be hard to convince his Congressional associates of any party that he is not an hon. est man in pecuniary sense"
 The managers of the New York elevated railroads are gradually learning that the pub lie have rights which are to be respected, even though the exercise of those rights is against their regulations. A passenger on leaving train at station could not find his ticket. He attempted to pass the gateman, and was arrested for disorderly conduct, and locked up in police station. The court now requires the Metropolitan company to pay him $1, 900 damages This decision says in effect that when passenger has paid his fare on an elevated road he is entitled to ride, and cannot be required by the company to pre-

Canton, Conn, Feb. 95, 1880.

Six years ago became hard of hearing, and ever since then the difficulty increased so that 1t annoyed me very much, and obliged me to listen closely in order to get along. In this condition placed myself under the treatment and care of Dr. Lighthill, whosuc- oeeded in restoring me to perfect hearing, and thereby earned my lifelong gratitude.

A LAUNDERING Committee.

The ways and means committee occupy
most unenviable position before the country.
Their every act Is regarded with suspicion and
their motives are even criticised unsparingly
from all quarters. The sudden change of base
upon the tariff question has called forth COM
ment5 which show the general estimation of
the committee. The resolution to place paper
and articles used in its manufacture upon the
free list is almost universally pronounced a de-
fusion and snare 1t is said that the protec-
tionists do not intend to permit any such mea-
sure TO get before the House; that they could
not longer defy public opinion By openly oppos-
Ing the placing OF these articles the free list
and therefore they engaged In a scheme to de-
feat IL by dupicty; that their.purpOSe Is to load
the resolution down with iron rails, salt, sugar
and numerous other articles so as to
kill IL in committee. Even Ii this charge
be true IT Is doubtful II the scheme
can ce successfully carried out II cannot II
the anti-protect1onists stick together. The OBJ
ject OF the latter is TO get the question before
the House, where, they believe, it can be pass

measure, no matter how 1t may be patched or
loaded in committee, leaving the duty of sepa-
rating the good from the bad to the House. Hay-

list. the prOtectionists on the committee cannot,
for the sake of consistency, vote against it
either in committee or in the House. Unfortu-

The DRIFT of democratic sentiment in Penn
Sylvania seems to be clearly against Tilden,
and the opposition TO him will be emphasized
at the coming state convention. The best evil
dences OF party feeling In the state force this
conclusion. The contest for party leadership
between Senator Wallace and Speaker Randall
has intensified the TiIden fight, but even Il no
such controversy existed the Indications are
that the Pennsylvania democrats would not
choose Tflden for leader again. This conclr-
sion Is not based upon the numerous calcula-
lions OF the respective partiSanS of Wallace and
Randall but upon the expressions Of patty pa
perS and impartial statements of observing
men. For instance, ex-Representatiye Mash,
OF York, says ''Tilden has no chance whatever
In Pennsylvania" He said that Tilden was not
only exceedingly unpopular with the democrats
of that state but they are satisfied he could not
be elected President; that the Pennsylvania de-
mocrats .'despise Tilden and his methods" Mr..
Maish, though friendly to speaker Randall,
takes no part In the factional contest going on
in his party, and therefore his judgment about
Tilden Is not biased. He expressed the opinion
that the state convention would send an unin-
structed delegation to Cincinnati, but that 1t
would be Overwhelmingly against Tilden be
cause OF the conviction that he could not be
elected.
