diately after rains. The company is

Latham threw out good idea when
he said the city ought to own the
water-works. This, however, is out
of the question. The city could not
take the water-works as a gift under
present circumstances. We are glad
that there are enterprising, public
spirited citizens 10 our midst to take

they will not only satisfy the public,

IF starvation does not kill DR..

tors and noisy fools who are admit
ted to his room surely will A doctor
stepped in the meanest drug store
whisky openly charged the other night
that one of the other doctors was
feeding DR.. Tanner on beef tea in a
sponge. He talked loudly, made wild
remarks, and raised quite row. DR..
Tanner became, of course, greatly ex.
cited and broke out in tears. He said
to be treated this way by man in
liquor was cruel and barbarous, and
so it is. 1t was disgraceful. DIR.
Bradley, the man who made such a
reckless, unfounded charge, ought to
be expelled from the medical associa-
ton to which he belongs. He took good
care to seize the sponge and squeeze
it dry before allowing anyone an op-
purtunity to examine the contents.
The doctors on watch made affidavit
that the sponge contained no nutri-
tious substance except a little water,
such as has been used all along. DR..
Tanner is certainly man of wonder
ful pluck as we'll as endurance. He
gives the quarrelsome doctors and
noisy visitors some sharp cuts, but as
he is not able to kick them down
stairs, they take it very composedly.

THE calm and reasonable tone Of

much to quiet the public mind and to
restore confidence as to the intentions

than fight public sentiment he would
retire from the enterprise altogether.

Bishop !. v. Mcnamara Married.

New York Sun, Sth.l
Bishop j. V. Mcnamara, of the
Independent church, was married at
q o'clock last evening to Miss Charlotte
i. Gilmour, the youngest daughter of
Mr. Andrew Gilmour, of BROOKLYN.
The ceremony was performed in the
only church Of the sect, at Madison
avenue and Twenty y-eighth street, for
merly DR. Tiffany's. The service, which
was similar in character to that of the
Presbyterians, was conducted by
Father j. A. o. Connor, one of the
two clergymen laborihg with tho
bishop in his diocese. About 100 of
their parishioners were present. The
bride wore a gray silk. She and her
father attended the church. The
newly married couple we're driven to
the AstOr House. To-day they will 20
to Boston. They will spend week or
two at Hull, watering place near Bos-
ton.
One of the strongest points Bishop
Mcnamara urges against the Church
of Rome is the imposition of celibacy
on its clergy. tits seven years since he
left that church. Father 0'Connor,
who resigned from the Roman Catho-
lie Priesthood in Chicago, is married.

of course many old personal friends
who naturally wish to pay their re.
spects to him and have a right to do
so. But fot those who have no claims
whatever to his regard or recognition,
but who may even have coarsely
abused him after their kind, to elbow
their way to his quarters and fll his
ears with whining opportunities, is
disgraceful and disgusting.
1t isabsurd to suppose that General
Hancock does not understand and
loathe such conduct. 1t is foolish to
believe him, who hath known war and
all its wild alarums, deceived by po-
litical popinjays who run to him with
accounts Of their great deeds and
worth. He knows the difference be-
tween soldier who stands bravely at
the post of duty, and an adventurous
courtier, loafng around headquarters,
periumed like milliner, fattering
him in many holiday and lady
terms" and smirking like leering
prostitute. He knows service, aud
can discern with soldier's.eye those
who perform it. He would have deep
contempt for the follower who
begs before the battle, for rewards
which can only come with victory.
Let these sweet scented cOurtiers 90
to their posts and remain there until
the contest is ended, and leave the
commander the duty of promoting
those who have most effectually con-
tributed to the result. They should
be taught at once that sycophancy and
toadyism are not qualities to adorn
high positions, and that manhness and
deceney are necessary even in a pub
lie office.

Gents From my own sense of duty.
and upon the advice of friends I have
concluded TO offer you a testimonial, pro-
claiming to the world that there Is an
absolute cure for Bright's Disease in its
worst form. My daughter Carrie has
been afflicted with this terrible disease
since she was five years of age; she is now
seventeen, and during these eleven years
her life has been a burden; she has been
treated by the best physicians in Buffalo
Syracuse Utica, Ithaca, Oswego, ,Hornels-
vile, Rochester, and other places, and
fortune has been paid out in the vain en-
deayor to obtain cure or even relief, but
all have pronounced her incurabe have
said that her kidneys were nearly de-
stroyed, that there was no help for her
and she must abandon all hope of ever
being any better. We finally heard of
your SAFE KIDNEY AND LIVER
CURE, and suggested to different phy-
sicians that we make trial of it; but
they secuted the idea, pronounced it a
humbug and said it would be perfect folly.
We finally came to Rochester and tried
several physicians here, but they like the
Others were unable to do anything for her.
We also mentioned your remedy to them
and they said it had a good reputation,
and made some remarkable cures and en-
couraged us to give it trial. 50 as a last
resort, we concluded to at least consult
you, and seven weeks ago to-day | came
to your Office for that purpose. l took
homo two bottles ofyour KIDNEY AND
LIVER CURE, and commenced giving
it to her according to directions. and by
the time she had taken one bottle, there
was marked Improvement in her condi-
ton; she acquired control of her urinary
fnctions, which she had not possessed
since childhood; all bloat subsidized, she
began to gain in good, solid flesh, and
gained thirteen pounds in about three
weeks. After taking three bottles Of the
remedy, she has in this short space of
seven weeks, become fully cured of what
was regarded hopeless case Of Bright's
Disease. wish | could talk with every
sufferer from this fearful disease, and tell
them as | can not in this letter, that
