Flowers PROM THE Go YERENESr GARpEg,
Abiding to the announcement that Sena-
tor Malone, of Virginia, the morning after ha
voted with the Republicans, found on his table
a magnificent boduet from the government
gardens, with the compliments Of the Presi-
dent and Mrs Garfield, the n. Y. Sun says
at seems to US this ostentatious browning with
flowers the desk of particular Senator, with
compliments of the President and Mrs. Gar
field, may justly be looked upon as carrying
with it disagreeable and hateful meaning.
First, it means that the President holds HIM
self in readiness to reward votes in his fsvor
10 pay for them. The gift of flowers can
not signify less than that they are to be fol-
lowed by the bsStogal of patronage. Again,
it is a direct atfront 1t is declaration that
the President believes that United States Seq
ators may be patronized by him. 1t is little
thing in itself, but very significant. The flow,
ers have no fragrance, but omit a hateful and
offensive odor."

A smaII.Pox Remedy.

A correspondent Of the Stockton Gal. }
Herald sent the following some years ago to
that paper: II herewith append recipe
which has been used to my knowledge in
hundreds of cases. 1t will prevent or cure
the small pox though the pittings are
filling. When Jenner discovered cow-po
in England the world of science hurled an
avalanche of fame upon his head, but when
the most scientific school Of medicine in
the world-that of Paris-published this
recipe as panacea for smallpox, it passed
unheeded. 1t is as unfailing as fate, and
conquers in every instance. 1t is harmless
when taken by we'll person. 1t will also
cure scarlet fever. Here is the recipe as
have used it, and cured my children Of
scarlet fever; here it is as | have used it to
cure the smallpox when learned physi-
clans said the patient must die, it cured !:
Sulphatc Of zinc, one grain foxglove (digi-
tails,) one grain half q teaspoonful of
sugar; mix with two tablespoonful of
water. When thoroughly mixed, add four
ounces of water. Take spoonful every
hour. Either disease will disappear in
twelve hours. For child, smaller doses,
according to age. If counties would COM
pei their physicians to use this, there would
be no need of pest.houses. If you value
advice and experience, use this for that
terrible disrasev

sent to Cape st. Lucas, at the request of the
State Department., for the protection of Mr..
Dexter, u. s. consul there, who had quar-

full of personal violence. He had been
slapped in the face. The telegram received
to-day states that the Ranger has returned
to Acapulco. Mr.. Dexter had left his con
sulate nearly two months before.
This is a specimen of red tape

The great interest in the exceeding clever
and humorous comedy, "Mother.in-L Law"

and Ford's Opera-house Is crowded nightly
by brilliant audiences to witness an equally
brilliant piece.
Mr.. George Il. Sims, the author exhibits
in this chef d'Gurre remarkable talent for
stage effect and racy, humorous situations
and dialogue, and Mr.. Abbey's admirable
company carries out the spirit of the author
to perfection.
Mr.. John Dillon, rs PoirnceJy, is simply
superb. Mr.. Il. NJ. Hollands Major Mungo
McTurfic could not be more exccllently
rendered. Through the courtesy of the
Madison Square Theatre, New York, Henry
Lee appears in this cast rs Percy D'At-
maine the stage-struck nobleman, and enacts
the satire upon the society man " to per-
lection. The typical London manager
Jdndrdg, is given with keen cleverncss, and
Mr.. w. j. Ferguson, as 7dlfourdTwigg, author
of The new comedy, "Mother.in-law,' man.
ages his character in highly artistic man
ner.
The ladies are all perfect in their roles.
The inimitabc Mrs. Germon, the most
popular "old lady" ON the stage. is as
usual. No further commentator is neces-
sary. Miss Laura Don is as complete in the
acting art MS she is beautiful in face and
form. Her wardrobe, too, is very rich and
attractive, especially the robes worn in the
last act and the designs upon them, which
she painted herself Miss Nellie Mortimer,
rs the authors Mathematician and Miss
Marie Chester, as Miss McTurtle, are both
decidedly successful in their separate parts,
1t is safe to say that no piece has ever
been more handsomely put upon the stage
nor more generally popular with our people

The betrothal of Prince Leopold of Eng
land to the Princess Helena of Waldeck
seems to BIO as prudent an engagement as
any of Queen Victoria's children have made,
No dynastic jealousies are likely to arise, as
the house ofWaldeck handed over its min
iature principality to Prussia in 1867 and
has since retained merely nominal power.
The proposed marriage will, however. have
the advantage of connecting more closely
the houses of Hanover and Orange, the old
King of tho Netherlands having about two
years ago cspoused an elder Princess OF
Waldeck.
