a WONDERFUL RECoRD.

Myriad OF so-cAlled 'spsciics' and Cures
Tor Rheumstism have already been brought
befor the public, and many Of them have
been endorsed BY the certificates OF respsc-
table and prominent citz-ns, who have de-
rived benefit from such preparations. There
is no doubt that q great many OF these Iii ale
ments," ''Oils," etc, 10 widely advert sed
and freely recommended for Rheumsti-m
and painful complaints Of similar . urs,
have genuine merit and win relieve ceftain
types OF the complaints named; but when

We would mention, ~ an example, the
case Of Mr.. A. H-ilman, EDITOR OF the Pitt

THE NEW LAND DISTRICT.

The Washington correspondent Of the At

The Interior Department is favorable to the

at this ss,s sion The esst line of the district
will BE- the ives, line OF Ford and other coun-
ties in the same tier, and it will take in four
ter of counties from north 10 sou,h and four
from sa.t TO west, or sixteen counties in all.

imum allowed by Law Tor the next four years
they will have 40 reason to complain. The
district once IS iblish-d, then will come the
contest over the location Of the ofice-a
contest which, according to the precedents,

fight. Two points are prominently named,
Garden Cry, in Ssquoysh county, aud La

doctrines don'tinterfero with his passions

Lincoln and Lord Harrington.
[From the Indianapolis News

The Hon. Schuyler Colfax, in his lee
ture the other night, told a new story
and good one. The Marquis of Hart
ington, present leader Of the English
Liberal party, was travelling in this
country during the war, and while here
made a semi-official call on president
Lincoln He was introduced to honest
old Abe in the White house with some
ceremony, but Mr.. Lincoln grasped the
hand, closed grip on it that brought
the tears to the EngEshman's eyes, and
said in CHEEKY voice: "Glad to see
you, Marquis of Harrington. Shall
Deyer forget you, because your name
ryhnes with one of our great characters
Mrs. Darlington. How are you, mar
quis 2 and he gave Harrington another
squeeze; after which my lord left the ex-
ecutlve chamber nursing his hand and
his temper, declaring to a friend that
"Your American president is a boorl"
The secret of the presidents action
was that the marquis had appeared at
ball in New York few nights before his
visit to Washington, and ostentatiously
wore the rebel colors in his button-hole.
The incident was published, and the
president, knowing the marquis was to
call at the White house, concluded to
give the naughty but ill-bred English
man puncture that he would get through
even his bull hide. And he did.
