Hartford. conn
 Hartford, Feb. Il, 1880. Dr. E. B. Lighthil1:
 Dear Sir-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 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 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. KOOD.

 Six years ago I became, hard of hearing, and ever since then the difficulty increased so that it annoyed me very much, and obliged me to listen closely in order to get along.

Ex-Senator Gordon's attention having been called" to the dispatches sent from Washington purporting to be founded on statements of A. H. Stephens, to the effect that his resignation of his seat in the Senate was to avoid the exposure of certain business transactions in Georgia which had come to the knowledge of his enemies and would not bear the light, denounces the insinuation as a malicious scandal He does not mind any revival of these islanders in Georgia, where he is known and they could do him no harm, but he regrets that they should now be given currency in the North He declares that his sole motive in resigning is to take advantage of opportunities to improve his impaired fortune and make better provision for those who dependent upon him.
 The present Legislature of the State of New York is not much to brag of, and it's career moves the New York Evening Post to say :: ''The utter failure of our present Legislature to enact any measure which the interests of the State or of this city demand is 8 strong argument in favor of biennial sessions. If there had been no session of the Legislature this year the State would be just as well of as it is now, and large sum of money would be saved. Furthermore, with the Legislature meeting but once in two years sufficient time might be given for the preparation of the important measures required for the relief of this city. Under the present system our representatives say that after their routine duties are attended to they have very little time left for considering larger measures in yolving permanent improvement" The Post should bear in mind that it has been settled in Connecticut that however inefficient and harmful Legislature may be in it's law making it serves as an educator of the people in the science of government, and is therefore beneficial.

WAsHIYGToY, May s, 1880.
1t is not generally known that there ex.
lists in Washington Library of the.magni-
tude Of 375 900 volumes. On the title page
of publications largely circulated through
out the country is generally seen the SEN
tence "entered according to the act of Con-

This is what is termed the copy right, and
accordingly under the charge of Mr. SpoH
ord, the Librarian. is collection of books,
papers, pamphlets, engravings, etc, which
are acumulating to a vast extent. Senator
Voorhees,, of Indiana, appreciating the val

has been lying upon the table for long

upon some plan for securing more room for

Mr.. Eddy gave Miss Heintzlenan a
fine set of jewelry, at Newbern, N. c., and
she wore it for several weeks. Then he
brought suit to recover it, on the ground
that he had simply lent it to her. She tes-
titled that, by the terms oi mutual agree
ment, she was to pay for the jewelry by
kissing Mr.. Eddy every morning for hun
dred days. He called and got his kiss, on
his way 10 work, every day for month.
Then he grew bold, and wanted to take a
hug as well as a kiss, There was no pro-
vision in the bargain for hugging, and she
repulsed him, even restricting his kisses to
mere touch of his lips to her cheek. lie
thought he was being cheated, and hence
his effort to recover.

A Washington dispatch Of the 18th inst,
says: The canvas for the Republican nomi.
nation for President absorbs the attention
of politicians. The Grant men are conf
dent, and foot up clear majority of the
convention for Grant, counting Illinois, and
exclusive of all other States yet to elect their
delegates. The Blaine men, on the other
hand, assert that the events OF the past few
days have put Grant entirely out of the race.
The Sherman men hold that the fight has
become so bitter between the Grant and
Blaine forces that the nomination of either
of the leading candidates is out of the ques-
ton, and that, with the ex,President and
the Plumed Knight out Of the way, Sher-
man will be the strongest man, and will no
doubt secure the nomination. Senator Ed
munds says the fight has narrowed down to
Grant and Blaine; that there is but one
course to pursue, and that is to rally to the
support of Grant. lie adds that he former
ly believed that the difficulties between
Grant and Bristow arose from the fault of
the ex- President. but he is now convinced
shat in these troubles there was nothing dis.
creditable to the latter. 1t has been evil
dent that the Blaine men were abundantly
supplied with money, and it is now reported
that Jay Gould and syndicate are furnish
ing the sinews of war.
