From the Rev. D. J. Clark.


 Pastor Congregational Church, East Ha-
 ven, Conn.
 It affords me great pleasure to add my tes- timony to that of others in favor of Dr. Ighthilrs success in the cure of catarrh His treatment of my wife has proved so ben efcia1 that cheerfully recommend him tothe confidence of the afflicted. The catarrh in the case of my wife was of long standing and in it's worst form, against which many remedies had been tried in vain The very first treatment applied by Dr. LighthiH 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- elan so skllful as Dr. Lighthill in the treat ment of that troublesome disease catarrh

Proprietor of the United States Hotel,
 Hartford, Conn.
 Hartford, Feb. Il, 1880. Dr. B. B. Lighthill
 Dear Sir-Prompted by feeling of justice to you and a sense of duty to the public, take this method of expressing my grateful appreciation of the able and skiAfn1 manner in which you treated my wife for Catarrh. When placed her under your professional care she suffered 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 of my experience 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.

Six years ago 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.

The editor of the New London Telegram would like to see Roscoe Conking take the stump in the Empire State for Garfield and Arthur, and make as thorough a canvass of the State as he has in years when the ques- ton of his election to the Senate was pending. So would many others, and they will also agree with the Telegram that if New York should cast it's vote for Garfield and Arthur through the influence of Conkling, the Sena- tor from New York would prove more formidable candidate for Presidential honors in 1884 than he has ever been yet.

should be present or participate in this exer- else, but, if he chose to be in his seat at that time, he was required to lay aside his books and remain quiet. One of the pupils, named Edward Mccormick, who was a Catholic and the son of Catholic parents, refused to ab- stain from his usual studies during the read ing of the Bible, whereupon he was suspend ed from ''an the rights and privileges of said school until he should express willingness to comply with the rule.'' An action for damages was thereupon brought against the teacher and the directors for depriving the boy of the benefits of the school, in which it was claimed that the rule in question was void, as interfering with the religious convic- tions of the aggrieved pupil and his parents The Supreme Court decides in favor of the school authorities

 Mr. David G. Croly has made some good hits as prophet, but he made failure when he prophesied that the Republicans would nominate Sherman. He now predicts se rious run upon the gold reserves of the Treas
 ury Among the causes in his view leading to it is the steady increase of imports over exports, and the maintenance of the great
 volume of the Treasury note circulation. He
 says it has long been felt that the greenback
 debt endangered resumption, and that re-
 sumption cannot be assured permanently until
 every paper dollar shall be represented by
 coin dollar in the Treasury. He urges a stop page of the payment of the public debt ex eept in so much as the law requires, and the accumulation of gold and silver until the re- serve shall cover the greenback debt Mr. Croly is mistaken in holding that resumption | cannot be permanent until every paper dollar l is represented by coin dollar in the Treas | ury but he is not far out of the way in urg- l ing a decrease of the rate at which the public debt has been paid of late.

General Garfield is firm believer in the law of average At a conference of the Sherman, Edmunds and Windom leaders at the Gardner House, the Sunday evening be- fore the balloting was begun at Chicago, he asked the nine gentlemen present to state how many votes in their judgment Grant and Placing the estimates paper he divided the aggregate by nine and found that the average allowed Grant was BOP and Blaine 282. The first vote taken the next morning showed BOA for Grant and 284 for Blaine. General Gar field has kept the paper containing the esti- mates, and exhibits it as a striking illustra- tion of the close working of rule in which he has great faith.

Edison has been heard from with some ex- pIanation of his delays, some statements of what he has accomplished, and some promis- es for the future. It is conceded that the electric lights of last winter were all out some time ago, but it is denied that the inven- tor thought they would be indestructible. He thought the horseshoe lamps would last 600 hours, and the average wasover 700. He now uses wood instead of 8 paper carbon, and says it lasts twice as long. When broken it can be replaced quickly and at slight ex- pense. Much is claimed to have been de- monstrated for certainty, but Edison seems inclined to prefer the ridicule and censure of the community until his inventions have sufficient completeness to satisfy his own ex- acting mind.
 A recent decision of the Supreme Court of Illinois relating to, the reading of the Bible in the public schools is interesting. By the school law of that State, the directors of each school district are made 8 body polite and corporate, and are required, among oth- CT things, to ssadopt and enforce all necessa- ry rules and regulations for the management and government of schools. to direct what branches of study shall be taught and what textbooks and apparatus shall be used in the several schooIs' They are au- thorized to suspend or expel pupils for in- corrigibly bad conduct, and no action shall lie against them for such expulsion or sus- pension" In the school which figured in this controversy, rule has been adopted that the teacher might read as an opening ex- ercise every morning, not occupying more than fifteen minutes a chapter from the King James translation of the Bible It was optional with every student whether he

misnomer. The claims are rebel enough,
but the claimants are entirely too cunning
to baptize them with that name. They
are mostly gotten up by men who swear
that they were loyal. The entire rebel
army, under the manipulation of crafty
lawyers and unprincipled agents, can bo
made to swear to loyalty easily, greedily
and definitely There is no way to dis
prove their statements, for before com
mittee of congress there is no one to con-
test the claim, and were thore, case OF
perjury would have to be tried before a
jury of claimants or their friends and con-
viction would be impossible. HANcoCK's
letter. therefore, fails to meet the great
body of these claims on this consideration
alone. He says loyal claims should be
scrutinized, but that amounts to nothing
All claims are supposed to be scrutinized,
and when one passes and goes to the presi-
dent he assumes that it has been, and us he
has no time TO investigate, and the papers
never 90 to him, he signs, as a matter OF
course. But there are other ways to work
the claims through. A commission may he
raised to pass upon them, OF they may be
sent TO q special court in each state by an
act of Eve lines concealed in an appropria-
tion bill, and HANCOCK has taken special
care not to pledge himself to veto either
mode or any mode of allowing them, save
by and through congress direct. The loop
holes are so large that the nine governors
see ways enough to drive through their
coach and six. They infinitely prefer
some other way to get what they want than
by special act in each case, aud so the
letter suits them, and suits them more com
pletely because it will humbug the north,
which has got to pay nearly all the money
It is the price the north is willing to pay
for being humbuggcd if it allows HAN
COCK to be elected.
There is but one way TO kill these claims
and that is not to trust them in the hands
Of q southern administration, or to n presi-
deut controlled by the south. With n re-
publican administration we know we are
safe. No one has to ask any questions oi
GARFIELD about any of these matters
HANCOCK alone is suspected and answers
evasivcly at first, and when alarmed puts
in rejoinder which is satisfactory to the
claimantsand only commits himself 10 a sim
gle chance for heading of the claims, leaving
all other chances open and leaving the in
terested parties to unde rstand that they
are open.
Perhaps nothing we can say will do any
good but we put in our protest against
being hoodwinked in this way and hope
our brother editors will sustain us with
vigor and not allow the matter TO drop.

RANDOLPH AND HANCOCK.

Senator RANDOLPH is benevolent gem
tleman. He saw what muss of it HAM
COCK had made in his profound remarks on
the tariff, and, wanting to help the superb
out, writes to HIM in substances "You are
a good fellow; l know what your views on
the tariff are; the reporter did not do you
justice; you must say something not quite
30 muddled you think ever so much of n
good protective tariff, you know, or else
Jersey will vote for GARFIELD-don't you
see?" Then the superb sits down and
writes in substance: "Well, Ideclare! Is
it possibleP Why, 1 thought my letter on
the matter was remarkably clear. What
fools some senators are. Come to thinl,
of it there must be about SO much tariff
anyhow. guess that incidental protection
is good thing. don't believe that any
body opposes that. As l understand it
that is what our platform means when il
says tariff for revenue only y'-and, RAN.
1 don't see how you could have got so mixed
as not to see that l said prscisely this when
l told the Guardian man tn at the govern,
ment seldom cared to meddle with such
local question"
While Sunset Cox is trying to learn why
people laugh, we wait mpatiently for tht
