 The Second Company Governors Foot Guards at warned meeting last evening unanimously voted to attend the centennial celebration of the battle of Yorktown, Va. in October next, sixty strong. It would seem that it is very appropriate that this company should attend the celebration from the fact that the members of the original company took part in the battle of Bunker Hill, the opening of the war in 1775. The company has also always been in existence up to the present time, and is now to take part in the centennial celebration of the closing of the Revolutionary war The company are to receive $1, 900 from the State, provided they attend sixty strong, the balance to be raised by the company. The company are to drill twice week from now until their de- parture to perfect themselves in drill and discipline, so that they may be an honor to the State and city, and there is no doubt they will make fine appearance. The plan is at present to accompany the First regiment on an ocean steamer from here to Virginia, but it has not been fully decided on as yet.

One-half of current medical litera- ture consists of journals and transactions of societies, more of these being published in English than in any other language, which is not surprising seeing that the two great English-speaking nations claim five-ninths of the worlds physicians and surgeons. Apart from the fact that the Continental fashion requires graduation theses, which are usually printed and swell unduly the apparent vol ume of medical literature, there seems to be no doubt that the German and French prac- titioners display greater activity in writing than their Anglo-Saxon brethren. One re- suit of this increase of literary material is the multiplication of the medical libraries, so that Eff the entire medical literature of the world, with the exception of that which is collected in the United States, were to be now destroyed, nearly all of it that is valu- able could be reproduced without difficulty. :"

Lerada, Who In Love, War and Gold G et-
 ting Made Things Hum.


 There are many interesting incidents mar rated of Lerada the remarkable Indian who for eighteen years ruled the Topic part of the Mexican republic. When boy he was en gagged in herding sheep and cattle on 8 ranch near the town of Jalisco. Every day there passed on her way to and from school a very pretty girl, of good family, and an acquain- tance began between them. She always had her books, and on her return from school the two would retire to some quiet spot, where she would teach him to read and give him his first ideas of arithmetic and geogra phy. He was exceedingly apt in learning and anxious to acquire knowledge, and he improved in such a manner that he soon be- came recognized among the Indians as superior to them. His mas- ter often ill-treated him, and Lerada was often heard to say he would revenge himself. The acquaintance with the girl ripened into love, which was recipro- cated. He had asked of her parents that he might marry her-a proposition that was scorned, the family calling him beggar. But he one day killed his master, and then fled to the mountains taking number of Indians with him. After increasing the number to eighty men he one night entered Jalisco, went to the house of the girl, took her out, and killed those qf the family whom he deemed had insulted him. He forced the cure of Jaliseo to go with him to the camp in the mountains, and when there made him marry him to the girl.
 Lerada afterward took to the road as brigand, and was terror for miles around. Many times troops were sent after him that never returned. About this time came the French. who, hearing of his many exploits and influence with the Indians, made over lures to him to join them, promising $50, ,O00 per month to pay his men. Lerada accepted and went with eight thousand men to Ma zatlan, received the first installment, came back to Topic, disbanded them, and put the money in his pocket. He afterward received the same sum regularly, and as regularly he pocketed it. This was the beginning of his

The Russian government has found its match in some shrewd journalists. The GoIos, the most influential and profitable paper in St. Petersburg, was lately ordered to sus- pend publication for six months because of certain articles criticising in moderate terms the policy of the government in regard to Bulgaria. This sudden suspension would have caused heavy loss, but fortunately, such action by the government having been anticipated, Professor Modestoff, one of the principal writers for the Golos, had some months before obtained permission to estab- fish daily political paper, and was supposed to be making his arrangements for starting the new journal When the Go2os was sus- pended he was ready, and immediately the New Gazette appeared. In form, type, po- Htical opinions, and in all details except the name, it was the GoZos. It was printed on the same press and was issued from the.same office.

 Notv;t,' standing the assassin Guiteau fired the shot tba,t has brought such grief to the nation, the ca, lse that instigateted this act can with propriel..v be traced to the acts of Conkl1ne and Platt's antagonism to President Garfeld's administration, and also to the conduct of the third term clique at Albany during the session of the Legislature. It is evident tI tat Grant has lowered himself ln the estimaa ion of the people of this country, as well as iu Europe, by his lnordinate de- sire for tn ird time to occupy the Presiden- tial chair. He with ConkHng 6 Go; nave forfeited all claim upon the Republican party for any honor either State or N lonai' and should be frowned upon by the who 's country. Should President Garfield die the canse of his death will lie at their doors. It is not probable that Guiteau would ever have assassinated our beloved President but for their antagonism to his policy Conkling had been pampered and petted to such de- gree that he considered himself the sole en- bodiment of the Republican party, and that everyone from the President down must bow in humble submission to his mandates, or incur his highness displeasure. Grant and Uonkling seem to be thoroughly imbued with the one man power idea, and consequently are dangerous men for a free republic. Look at the brazen effrontery of these men in secret conclave at the Fifth Avenue Hotel some two weeks since, con- cocting plans for the course the Vice Presi- dent should pursue. when it was thought the President would only live few days. Such men are dangerous to the welfare of the country and the permanency of the republic
 No doubt Conkling is so self-conceited that he thinks, in case Vice President Arthur shon1d he callad t0 the President,s s,chair that he and his stalwart clique would run the ad- ministraiton to suit themselves in which at- tempt there is not a shadow of doubt they would find themselves mistaken, for believe it is generally conceded that the Vice Presi- dent has sufficient ability to perform the du- 1 ties of the Presidents office without the as- sistance of clique, and also has just sense of regard for the Nations welfare, which I | am sorry to say does not seem to be the case with Conkling, Grant & Co.,, whose policy seems to be rule or ruin" in order to grati- fy personal selfish ambition.

The system of free elementary education which has done so much for this country and Germany is attracting attention in England. For the purpose of shaping and enlightening public opinion on this subject, society has been formed in London, whose object is to secure the abolition of all charges in connec- tion with national education, the expenses to be borne by public taxation, supplemented by all available endowments. The founders of the new society state that the tendency of the educa- tional authorities has been of late to raise the scale of school fees. thereby limiting still further the benefits of public education and aggravating the inequality of the burdens which the system imposes upon the nation. The new movement bears the names of several Liberal members of Parlia- ment and large number of active workers in the field of popular education.

Home Coarse of Lectures.


It may be taken as quite n compli-
ment to the public spirit of Bolivar
that, in population no larger than
ours, a course of winter lectures has
thus far been so handsomely sustained
and attended. 1t is no doubt equally
n compliment to the course of lectures.
Especially is this the case considering
the weather of the last winter. 1t is
hoped, now that "the winter of our
discomfort" is past, the attendance at
the remaining lectures may be equally
we'll sustained and even increase. The
next lecture (the coming Friday even
ing) is by gentleman recognized for
his ability, DR.. J. B. Elliott, professor
of Chemistry in the University of the
South, and lecturer, during the winter
months, in the New Orleans Medical
College. He is of a we'll known and
talented family, son of the elder
bishop of Georgia, and brother of the
present conspicuous bishop of Western
Texas. He has n sister who is n
gifted authoress. The subject of the
lecture is one which cannot fail to en-
list deep interest, The Scientific Spec
ulatiOns of the Day"-a subject likely
to have ample justice done it in such
able hands. Theentertainment begins
at halfpast Z o'clock.

Rescued from Death.

The following statement OF William
J. Coughlin, of Somerville, Mass, is
so remarkable that we beg to ask for
it the attention of our readers. He
says: "In the fall of 1876 l was taken
with a violent bleeding of the lungs,
followed by a severe cough. l soon
began to lose my appetite and flesh. 1
was so weak at one time that 1 could
not leave my bed. In the summer of
1877 / was admitted to the city hos
pital. While there the doctors said
had hole in my left lung as big as a
half dollar. l expended over a hun
dred dollars in doctors and medicines.
l was so far gone at one time a report
went around that was dead. I gave
up hope, but friend told me of DIR.
VIM. Halls Balsam for the Lungs. I
laughed ut my friends, thinking that
my case was incurable, but l got a
bottle to satisfy them, when to my
surprise and qualification, commenced
to feel better. Ny hope, once dead,
began to revive, and to-day feel in
better spirits than l have the past
three years.
81 write this hoping you will pub
lish it, SO that every one afflicted with
Diseased Lungs will be induced to
take DIR. VIM. Hall's BaIsam for the
Lungs and be convinced that Con
sumption can be cured. Ihave taken
two bottles, and can positively say
that it has done more good than al
the other medicines have tsken since
my sickness. My cough has almost
entirely disappeared, and I shall soon
be able to 60 to work" Sold by al
