How General Ba,,ermnn Died.

Tombstone, Arizona, papers give the
following particulars Of the death Of
General Batterman: FOR the past three
years deceased had been affected with
delation Of the heart in periodical attacks
OF some ten minutes duration ut inter.
walls Of several weeks. Within the past
two months he had been but twice
troubled that way. At Q o'clock last
Monday night be went to bed feeling
perfectly we'll ard in good spirits. but
shortly after retiring grew very uneasy
and complained Of the pain in his side,
stating to Mrs. Bstterman, who was in
the room, that this time it was seyerer
than usual. Getting up, he partly
dressed and then lay down again; after
this he became quite restless, getting
up and lying down frequently until
about 2 o'clock, when just as Mrs. Bat
terman had fallen into a light sleep she
heard him say II have gone this time,"
while at the same moment he rolled
over and fell face dovnwards on the
floor. The unhappy lady, though al.
most paralyzed with terror. had yet
presence Of mind enough to rush into
another room and call Mr.. Elliot, who
has been for some time assisting the
General in his Office. This gentleman
gave the alarm at once. and in less time
Than it takes to tell it, three or four
persons were bending over the PROSTATE
body. They found lite extinct and the
face already much diseolored.

Catching Cold.

To secure ones self from the danger OF
catching cold, nothing is surer thar
bathing the feet every day. If the pores
of the skin are closed in any part it is
either unnaturally hot or cold. If the
circulation is vigorous it overheats be
cause it cannot escape through these
escape pipes Of the system. If the cirCu.
lation is sluggish, if there is but little
vitality, the blood stagnates, and the
blood OF the arteries, which carries heat
and life, cannot get there; hence the first
step in keeping the feet warm is to keep
the pores open. The pores Of the solcs
of the feet are much the largest in the
whole body; hence the necessity ofkeep-
ing the pores of the soles always open.
Clean away the COnCretiOns, oil and dust,
which are always aCCumuatius, and
seal the tops of these pores, the Chimneys
Of the system, Theoretically. Each mOru-
ing, before you dress, put both feet
in cold water tor second or two: they
need not 60 deeper than the toes; then
wipe dry. This bath ought to be attend
ed to by all persons Of sedentary habits.
Many have got rid of the discomfort of
cold feet in the way described. We once
heard an eminent physician say that if
a person would bathe the breast in the
vicinity Of the lungs every morning
with salt and water, and drink II glass
of water containing II little salt, no cold
could be taken. If persons have no
strength nor vitality, this, as other
methods, will fail.

A RIshOp ON DneIIinE

Bishop Howe (EpiscopaD OF Soutt

ly, made the following remarks OF
duelling:
"Will YOU uphold the social necessity
of duelling at The club, at the dining
table, in the drawing room, and have
your opinions, it may be, re-echoed by
wives and mothers and sisters, and then,
when catastrophe occurs, which rocks
the State from end to end, lifo up your
hands in horror? L tell you nay but
except we, the community, repent, our
sons it may be, shall likewise perish.
And in the formation Of Il sound Chris
tian opinion of the deed very much
fear, my brethren of the convention, that
our church in this diocese has not done
all that she ought to do. | fear that in
this matter the world has influenced us
more than we the world. | am afraid
that were q record to be hid before us of
all such encounters as am now speak
ing of, it would be found that, in the
greater number of them, persons more
or less intimately connected with our
church bore some part"

THE C0NKLING CONTEST.
WhaE Ex.Vleo President Collar !

"What do you think OF our politica

bupe reporter of the ex-Vice- Presiden
at the Everett House day or two ago
"WhilG support the Administration
Mr.. Coltax replied, 81 have such higi
regard for the ability Of Mr. Conklinl
that 1 sincerely regret the division.
cannot see why Mr.. Conkling should
have felt so grieved, because after all it
was not very great change. He op-
posed lust AZ strenuouSly the Contirma-
tion of Mr. Merritt, and il was only re-
placing an anti-Conkling man by an
-CoMkiing man. ia change was TO
be made is it to be wondered at that the
President should do as he has done?"
"rheu you think that the President
was perfectly Justified
This do think, that the mistake he
made was in not telling Mr.. Conkling
that he regarded the appointment %
National onojuSt as much as the Boston
office is considered New England one.
If the President had done that | do not
think that Mr.. Conkling could have
held % votes up in Albany"
"To what do you attribute the change
In public sentiment
"The extraordinary revulsion of opin-
ion toward Mr.. Conkling is undoubted-
ly caused by the fact that for years the
Republican party all over the country
has been toiling to make the Senate Re-
publican, and just as it had succeeded
he in fit Of anger turns the Senate into
the hands of the Democrats"
"Do you think that Judge Robertson
should have been appointed?"
"By all means il change was to be
made. A genial man, of great ability,
he deserved the place because of his
faithful service to the party, if for no
other reason.

Japan in foreign arts in the last twenty
years" 1t is noted that for the first

principal japanese newspapers have
been fined for the publication of sur

A Visit % Delaware Avenue Bap.
list Church.
For the RepublIcan.


Sunday, being a bright. fair morn
ing, went to the Delaware Avenue
Baptist church, hoping to hear Rev.
Mr.. Haldeman, the man about whom SO
much has been said not only in the
city papers but also in the mOreprivate
circles of life in, the past five or six
years. | was not aware that it was
the day on which the sacrament Of the
Lord 5 Supper was to be administered,
or certainly for more than one reason
should not have chosen such an Occa-
sion Tor my visit. The services for
some cause were held in the lecture
room in the basement, which / suppose
will comfortably seat from five hundred
to five hundred and fifty persons, and |
think upon this occasion that full q of
the sittings were occupied, not more.
The services which commenced with
the grand old Bishop Kent dOxology
were very impressive and withall varied
in their character that 1t was real
novelty to your correspondent. The
rendering of the doxolOgy by the choir
as well as all of the hymns that follow
ed, impressed me at once that Delaware
Avenue was favored with one of the
very best choirs in the city. The pastor
entered the room from door in the
rear, during the singing OF the first
piece, and going straight to the sacred
desk, after a brief silent prayer, with
great solemnity commenced to search
the scriptures, and now the singing be-
ing over short vocal prayer followed;
then the reading of the scriptures, fol-
lowed again by singing, after which
more lengthy and earnest invocation
for manifestation of the Holy Spirit,
which all appeared to regard as the
chief glory Of the sanctuary. The deep
solemn silence that prevailed during the
service was in marked contrast with
what the writer has witnessed on many
similar occasions. | have remarked
above that if | had known that it was
communion day should not have been
present, and this for the simple reason,
that with all my respect for the Bap-
tist as a very important branch OF the
Evangelical church, | have always re-
garded their close communion idea as a
great drawback to their onward march
in conquering the world for Christ, but
really on this occasion | was lett in
doubt as to whether the congregation
worshipping at Delaware Avenue are,
strictly speaking, close communicates.
In conclusion | think may truthfully
say that the whole service, take it all
in all, was mo impressive one, and
that it's leading feature was earnest
supplication and prayer.
Yours, &c, NOT A BIGor,

Early Potatoes.

Mr.. Taggart, who resides in the up
per part of Christiana Hundred, has a
few rows of potatoes growing in the
garden, which are the most thrifty look
ing that we have seen for long time.
The tops are some two feet in length,
and the tubers are nearly as big as
walnuts. They were planted the Sth
of April, and grew so vigorously that
the raid of the potato bugs had no eff
feet upon them. Mr.. T. says the proper
way to plant potatoes is to- plow the
ground, harrow it thoroughly, then
draw Ii ght furrows through it, put in a
liberal quantity of an approved fertili-
zer, drop the seed, cover about two
inches deep, aud you may look for a
good yield at an early date in the sea
son. Farmers should take the hint and
learn by skill and high manuring to
raise good crop of potatoes not
withstanding the ravases of bugs and
other insects.
