ty spirit and the sinister consequences to be apprehended from an implied admission of numerical inferiority of the party in favor of whose success the bet was made"
 Many have wondered why James Mulligan has kept so still concerning the letters which Blaine got away from him in Washington in 1876, and which were supposed to contain absolute proof of Blaine's connection with railroad combinations It is now stated that friends of General Grant have been trying to get Mulligan to disclose the contents of the letters but he refuses to do so. The follow ing is told concerning the method employed by Blaine to get possession of the letters
 Mulligan says he was sitting in the Riggs House when Mir. Blaine walked in without being announced and remarked, in his off, hand way, ''Jim, understand you have cer- tain letters which are damaging to me, and which are to be put in evidence before the Investigating committee. Let me see on the word of gentleman, to return them to you just as I get them" MulEgan had the utmost faith in Mr. Blaine's word, and he handed the package over to him. After running over the pile he selected two or three, which he read, and then handed them all back. AS Mulllgan was about to place the package in his desk Mir. Blaine said hastily, ''Oh, Jim, just let me look at them again for one moment" This last request was compiled with, but this time there was no guarantee given for the return. After picking out the damaging letters he placed them carefully in his pocket, and, skipping them on the outside with his hand, said, 'Jim, I'll take care of these for you, /" and moving toward the door he hastily left the room Mulligan was dumb-founded. He adds, sententiously, ''Blaine was a big, active man, and could not cope with him, so he got away with the letters"
 If Blaine is nominated Mulligan may break his long silence, and he may not

DECORATION DAY.


 Again the time consecrated to the com memoration of those who gave their lives for their and our country has come, and brings feelings and thoughts which ought to be more often experienced by most of us than they are It is now about fifteen years since the war closed on a saved Union During that time the country's grief for its dead has been much assuaged, and, sad to say, the warmth of the nations gratitude to those whose heroic patriotism was it's rock of defence has somewhat cooled. It was in- evitable that it should be so. teWe forget because we must" But while we are losing some of the sharpness of our sorrow for the dead, and the feeling we had towards them and their comrades just after our escape from the danger from which they rescued us is changed, there is not, there cannot be, any belittling of the service they rendered and of the magnitude of their sacrifice. And this service and sacrifice only need to be called to mind often enough to make the gratitude which was an impulse principle.
 Decoration Day, therefore, performs an important work in helping to keep alive the feeling that does much to make it sweet to die for one's countrywide feeling that those who thus die are not destined to be forgotten It is also of great value in that it annually calls special at tention to the worth of that for which such a price was paid. Great as was that price it was not too great. Our Grand Army saved the Union and gave the death-blow to slavery in this country, and these achievements are worth all they cost.
 In order, then, to show our gratitude to the dead and living soldiers, to foster patriot ism and to help teach a proper appreciation of the blessings we enjoy, Decoration Day should not be suffered to fall into neglect The elders should continue to take an active interest in it and should train their children to. In every home to-day the children should be told what the ceremony means and given instruction in patriotism. In this way Deco ration Day will be perpetuated and it's value maintained

 It affords me great pleasure to add my tes- timony to that of others in favor of Dr. Lghthilrs success in the cure of catarrh. His treatment of my wife has proved so ben efcial that cheerfully recommend him to the confidence of the afflicted The catarrh in the case of my wife was of long standing and in its worst form, against which many remedies had been tried in vain. The very first treatment applied by Dr. Lighthill per manently removed some of the most trouble some features and the results ever since have been of the most gratifying character. Our people may congratulate themselves on hay ing at their command the services of physi- clan so skillful as Dr. Lghthin in the treat ment of that troublesome disease, catarrh.

His recent discoveries are of the highest practical importance, renderingtreat- ment so efectual that relief is experienced at once, and permanent cures are often effected in the most stubborn and aggravated cases and it is one of the happy features of his practice that the applications cause neither pain nor distress, and can be readily admin istered to the most timid or nervous person. candid opinion will invariably be given as to the possibilities of a cure, and no case will be accepted for treatment which does notpre- sent reasonable chance for success.

New York City's Potato Supply.

The present condition of the potato market indicates that growers of this product must expect and prepare for competition. Thirty years ago New York was, to a large degree, supplied by New Jersey. The once worthless sand plains of the latter, having been fertiI- ized by mari, became worth $200 per acre, and Jersey farmers were soon raised from their former miserable condition to inde- pendence. Soon afterward other potato districts sent their crop to this city. Wash ington county and Montgomery county en- tered the field of competition, while enor- nous quantities were shipped from Maine. Ontario county and its surroundings, however, eventually bore the palm, which is held to this day. Western New York potatoes are generally preferred, but at what discouraging quotations? The market has been dull during the past winter, but now it is utterly stag nant. The Canada farmers having no mar ket at home, have sent enormous quantities to this city, and a dealer recently remarked that ''there was no telling where potatoes would not come from" Allrecent shipments to this city involve heavy loss. I pota- toes of inferior quality sell at eighty cents a barrel. They were soft and had sprouted but could be used in cheap boarding houses. The best potatoes, however, are lower than eyer known before, and competition has proved more destructive to farmers than even the Colorado beetle.
 This city consumes 300 bushels of pota- toes day, but in addition to this New York supplies the river towns and also some of the Eastern manufacturing cities. Almost the entire South now depends on this city for potatoes, which are shipped thither in immense quantities. A half million bushels are thus disposed of between fall and spring, and yet such is the extent of the crop that the quota tions are below the cost of production. It is this competition with far distant growers which impairs the once grand profits of Jer- sev and Long Island farmers We are now supplied with green peas from Virginia at reasonable rates, while new potatoes from Bermuda are offered at six dollars per bar rel

A Conquered June Bug.

The festive June bugs, those unwieldy creatures who delight to scorch themselves in do more to encourage irreverence and disor- ganize the faculties of attendants at summer evening religious services than all the other forces of nature put together. Of course the average woman won't touch one of the hor- rid things with the tip end of her finger under any consideration, and it becomes a grave question what shall be done when bug tun- bles into pew full of the sex who happen to be out of the reach of male help. This problem was instantly and ingeniously solved the other evening by woman who jumped up just as the bewildered bug struck the cushion by her side, placed hymn-book on him and sat down on it in the sweet con sciousness of duty well performed.

Proprietor of the United States Hotel,
 Hartford, Conn.
 Hartford, Feb. Il, 1880. Dr. E. B. Lghthill:
 Dear rSir-Prompted by feeling of justice to you and sense of duty to the public, take this method of expressing my grateful appreciation of the able and skillful manner in which you treated my wife for Catarrh. When I placed her under your professional care she suffered so severely that she could scarcely obtain any rest at night, but your first application afforded decided relief and your subsequent treatment has proved 8 per- feet success In the course of my experience I have seen a good deal of physicians and medical practice, but must confess that your method of treatment for Catarrh is superior to anything that has yet come under my ob- servation and in fact is so rational and effec- tive that it must commend itself at once to every unprejudiced mind.
 Yours truly, D. A. ROOD.

From MT. Richard Case, of Canton,
 C0nu.
 For the past twenty years I was afflicted with Catarrh, which affected my throat to such an extent as to make my life misery. I would wake up at night with sense of suf- location, as though some one was stranging me, expecting every moment to be my last. My suffering was so severe that I was 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 ago I placed myself under Dr. LighthiIrs 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 6 baby, my hearing is restored, and my health has so much inn proved that I feel like a 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 Dr. Lighthil to Hartford and for directing me to him. I am 64 years of age and have lived in Hartford county nearly all my life, and if the blessings and prayers of an old man are of any avail, the happiness and pros perity of Dr.. Lighthill is assured

Crimes fIl France.

A singular and interesting table of statis- tics has just been published in Paris. The budget of French crime has been brought out, and the political economy of punishment supplied with fresh installment of facts and figures. A criminal budget extending over five years supplies us with rough average from which we may make our own deduc- tions. The Chancellor of the Criminal Ex- chequer points to his budget with pride, and, like other dealers in figures and tables, is anx- ious to show that there is no cause for alarm or despondency. The population of France may be roughly stated at about 37, GOO, ,0O0, and the annual average crop of murders is about 200, of infanticides about 19O, and of unjustifable homicides about 123. It is curi- ous to find how very little variation there is in the annual harvest of crime. Thus in the gravest charge, 22O was the greatest return of murderers, and 195 the least, and there is the same equality of proportion in the other cat egories The return gives emphasis to this fact as explaining the singular circumstances that in the course of five years there were al most the same number of capital sentences carried out. At the last census the popula- tion of Great Britain amounted to B, 300, 900, but the number of murders was by no means so uniform. It would be a consolation for Frenchman to know that only one in mil lion of his fellow-countrynen is guillotined, were 1t not that "extenuating circumstances leave a wide margin of doubt
