Cathartic Pills

Combine the choicest cathartic principles
]usted to secure activity, certainty, and
uniformity of effect. They are the result
OF years of careful study and practical ex-
pertinent, and are the most effectual REM
edy yet discovered for diseases caused by
arrangement of the stomach, liver, and
treatment. AYERS Pulls are specially
applicable to this class of diseases. They
act directly OF the digestive and assimi-
1ative processes, and restore regular
healthy action. Their extensive use by
physicians in their practice, and by all
civilized nations, is one of the many
proofs of their value as a safe, sure, and
perfectly reliable purgative medicine.
Being compounded of the concentrated
virtues Of purely vegetable substances,
they arc positively free from calomel or
any injurious properties, and can be admin
.istered to children with perfect safety.
AYERS PILLS are an e~ffectual cure for
Constipation or COstiveness, Indiges-
ton, Dyspepsia, Loss of Appetite,
Foul Stomach and Breath, Dizziness,
Headache, Loss of Memory, Numbness,
Biliousness, Jaundice, rheumatism,
Eruptions and Skin Diseases, Dropsy,
TumOrs, Worms, Neuralgia, Collie,
Gripes, Diarrh9a, Dysentery, Gout,
Piles, Disorders of the Liver, and all
other diseases resulting from a disordered
state of the digestive apparatus. +
AS a Dinner Pill they have no equal:
While gentle in their action, these Pills
are the most thorough and searching cathar-
tic that can be employed, and never give
pain unless the bowels are in1amed, and
then their influence is healing. They stimu-
late the appetite and digestive organs; they
operate to purify n enrich the blood, and
impart renewed health and vigor to the
whole system.

When the Mexican war began he had long
been Moor-G General in the militia Of
this State, and every one recognized the
fitness of his selection by President Polk
and Secretary Marcy as a Major General
of division under General Scott, with
whose campaign from Vera Cruz to the
City of Mexico he was intimately connec-
ted. When General Scott was relieved
from command, General Patterson was
named as military chief, with his head
quarters in the Halls of the Montezumas.
He also served in the war of the rebel
lion, and since its close has led quiet
business life. He was president of the
Aztec club, and there has been many q
gathering Of famous men at his mansion
in late years. He was possessed Of large
wealth, which be expended in charity and
in dispensing hospitality to those who
had his friendship or acquaintance. In
his habits and business relations Gen.
Patterson was particularly quaint. His
military training was evident in the rigid
methods of his daily pursuits. His hours
of rising, of breakfasting, of going to
business, and returning home to dine
were as regular as the clC ok. He was as
plain as Quaker in his attire, and clung
to old raiment as long as old raiment
clung to him.

Irish agtstor, has been the recipient Of
many attentions during her sojourn at
Washington. She is about fifty years Of
age, of large, yet delicate features, robust
frame, and cheerful mein. When convers-
ing upon the cause which is 90 dear 10 her
heart the handsome face becomes radically
bright and she becomes the impersonation
Of the ardent patriot. She repudiates en-
tirely any connection with the internal ma.
chimes, which is reported as having been
discovered upon a British steamer. She as
serts that in her belief the whole thing is a
fabrication of English agents.
Aquatic circles have been considerably
exercised with house warming given on
Thursday night by the Potomac Boat Club,
the occasion being the opening Of new
boat house in Georgetown, D. c. This
building is one Of the handsomcst, II not
the largest structure Of its kind in the
country, and on the occasion mentioned
about FIVE hunderd people were comforta-
bly, accommodated 10 H. There were two
boat races; one a single scull race between
three contestants, aud the prize handsome
gold medal was carried of by Mr.. Bailey,
rowing the distance Of two miles in four
teen minutes and thirteen seconds. He
rode in the "Lord Dufferan," the same boat
in which Hanldn won the race with Court
ney. The next race was between two six
cared gigs, manned by married and single
men, respectively The bachelors won, but
the time was not taken. The Nassau cup,
which had been presented by the "Potom-
acs" on condition that IL should be annu-
ally rowed for was then handed over 10 the
dancing was the order Of the evening. 1t
was universally pronounced e most enjoya-
bic affair. The Potomacs are winning for
themselves a great reputation, and are ma
king great preparations for the national
regatta, which takes place in the fall, when
it is expected that they will give good ac-
count of themselves there.

Tyler Coggsdale, mail-carrier between
Turtle Point and Ceres, committed suicide
early last week by shooting. 1t is now stated
by the Bradford Era that he was caught on
July 80 by his brother-in law ,Lanson Bessie,
in flagrante delictu with Mrs. Bessie. The
wronged husband tried 10 shoot Coggsdale,
who fed and sent an offer TO Bessie Of $500
10 settle the matter, which was sternly re-
fused. Next day Coggsdale borrowed gun
to go hunting, he said, and on Monday his
body was found behind his barn. He had
put the muzzle Of the gun under his chin
and fred the ball up through his head.
William s. Cross, aged 40, died in the
West Penn Hospital, at Pittsburg, on Mon
day. He had been deranged for some weeks
AMI had been put in Jail for security. Two
weeks ago he escaped from his cell, and
was put back by Irwin Lustor, prisoner
who acts as turnkey. In the struggle Cross
leg was broken, and he was sent TO the hos
pital, but IL is said that no information was
given to the hospital authorities except tb at
he was crazy, 80 no attention was given to
his leg. An inquest was held on Monday,
when the facts came out. Lustor, the act
ing turnkey, is notorious as being concern
ed IN the drowning Of Bryson, in the Ohio
River near Agnew Station, year ago.

There died in Philadelphia, Sunday

at Locust and Thirteenth streets, one OF
the most palatial mansions in that city
after few days illness. On the 18th OF
January last the eighty-ninth birthday of
this veteran Of three wars was celebrated
at dinner given in his honor by Mr..
George W. Childs to the members of the
Farmers Club of Philadelphia and
number Of invited guests, including Lord
Lymington, then on a visit 10 this coun.
t-y. Gen. Patterson then looked, spoke,
and bore himself like man of sixty, and
admitted that he rose and attended to his
extensive business as regularly as lie had
ever done. But he began to show signs
OF weakness not long afterward, which,
during the past week, with Brights dis
ease and an affection of the heart which
the extreme heat had aggrav lted hasten
cd his death.
Gen. Patterson was born in 1892 in
the County Tyrone, Ireland, and came
10 this country with his parents, who
were well-to-do people, when mere
child. He was given liberal education,
but he preferred mercantile to profess
sion,l pursuits, and the war with Great
Britain in 1912 found him within one
year of his majority, preparing for activ,
commercial life on his own account. HI

Having deprived the small boy Of his
firecracker and saddened the heart of the
idler on the Fourth of July, Brooklyn's
IN. Y. chic magistrate now bends his
courtesy to the other extreme and tells
every resident of the city to ''go it" in
the frework and illumination line, to the
extent of his patriotic desire and pecuni-
ary strength. The reason for all this is
that Brooklyn has two thousand dollars
worth of Corporation fireworks, which it
now proposes to set of, partly because
the President is getting better, but chief
ly lest further delay would render them
perfectly useless.

OUR SPECIAL LETTER.

WASHINGTON, d. c., August 5, 1881.
The way in which some INSCRIPTIONS
persons are conducting themselves in regard
to the condition Of the President is simply
outrageous. These people are in some way
interested in the stock market in New York,
and If by any possibly means an opportun.
ity is afforded them of playing upon the
credulily of the people they do not hesitate
to sieze upon it. On Thursday the state Of
the Presidents health was in so favorable
nature that the physicians IN charge
thought it unnecessary to issue the usual
MONDAY bulletin, there being no special
change in the condition Of the Presidents
pulse, temperature or respiration from what
was given in the morning bulletin. This,
If anything, IS regarded here as favorable

BILE the price of stock. A good many peo
pie are out Of pocket, and these sensation
alists think they have done a smart thing
because they have lined their pockets at the
expense of other persons feelings,
The fact is, the President has greatly i'm
proved, and the question of removing him
from White House is being talk
ed of by every one connected with the
Executive Mansion. It is generally under

dered the President and Mrs. Garfield the
exclusive use OF her villa at Newport, R. |.
One thing however, has been determined
upon during the past week, that is the 10
cation of tho ball. This was accomplished
by a curious aud delicate electrial instru

the cargoes of two steamships from the

position in which his party las placed
