We copied recently from the New
Haven Union an article upon the de
moraliZatiOn in the Greenback party, and
which contained an extract from a Mich-
gan paper. The latter, Greenbacll
sheet, warned all "Weavcr Greenback-
ers" against the National View, published
III Washington by Lee CrandaIl. The
View retorts that it was not aware of the
existence Of party known as the "Weav-
er Grcenbackers )" says Weaver is no
better than many other Greenbackers;
that no bosses are wanted in the Green
back party, and that the Views "steadv
advocacy Of Greenback principles shall
never fail" The article altogether indi-
Gates a painful lack Of harmony among
the Greenback leaders, and sustains the
assertion of the New Haven Union that
the work of disintegration is rapidly pro-
crossing.

The President.

Fridays dispatches from Washington
We're very discouraging. The situation
may be briefly described by saying that
all the Presidents symptoms were alarm
ing, and that his death from exhaustion
seemed only a question of time The ut
tending physicians, for the first time, re-
luctantly admitted that the case was wen
nigh hopeless Saturday morning it was
thought the end was near, and few be
leved the President would survive over
Sunday. But Saturday night he rallied.
and the Improvement continued Saturday
night and Sunday. Secretary Blaine
telegraphed Sunday evening that the im-
provement inspired hope, and that if it
continued two or three days it would
bring confidence Of recovery. Dir. Boyn-
ton even went 50 far as to say that recov-
cry was probable. The weight of opin

that the President would live. His pulse,
which on Saturday is said to have been as
high rs 40, had fallen to 100, his mind
was perfectly clear, he was able to take
and retain an adequate amount of nour-
iShment, the wound showed an improved
condition, and heparotid gland had dis
charged freely while the swelling had sen
sibly diminished, These facts inspired
many with the belief that the crisis had
been passed and that the President was
fairly on the road to recovery. This be
lief was shared by the attending physi-
clans. Dr., Hamilton, who arrived il
New York Monday, SAID; "The Presi-
den; is going to get well. The worst is
passed" Secretary Blaine cablcd to Min
lister Lowell Monday afternoon as follows;

An Odd Marriage.

Among the crowds who thronged to
see the antics of the Zulus at Brook
lyn museum last winter was On Italian
girl named Anita G. Corsini, Is years
old, music teacher by occupation, and
the daughter of Mr.. Corsini who is IN
business in New York. One of the
black warriors, known as Zulu Charley,
won her admiration and love, and she
spent many quarters from her hard
earned savings to see the dusky object
of her affection. Charley did not repel
her attentions, and they swore to be true
to each other. Mr.. Corsini, however,
did not regard with favor the prospect
of marriage between his daughter and
a negro, and did everything in his power
to dissuade her from carrying out her
intentions. Last Wednesday, however,
the couple eloped, but while on their way
to a minister's house they were arrested
at the instance of Anita's father.
When the case came up the following
morning in the Jefferson Market Court
the father wanted to have the girl sent
to BlackweI's Island, but upon her
promising to obey him and leave the
Zulu he changed his mind and took her
home. But she again met Charley, and
accompanied by another Zulu, called
Usikali, and Charles Richards, white
man, they went to the residence of the
Rev. r. o. Page, in Brooklyn, and asked
to Ue married. The minister consented,
but he seems to have made mistake,
for he addressed all the questions TO
Usikali instead of Charley, and then
pronounced him and Anita man and
wife. On learning his mistake, how
ever, he performed another ceremony
between the right parties. The newly
married couple then went to the muse
um, where the bridegroom took part in
the usual Zulu war dances.

Good Advice from a Leading MedI-


The learned doctor says: "Keep some
kind of a tonic medicine always in the
house, and If anyone feels unwell, make
free use of it. But first be sure that it is
both harmless as well as meritorious. Put
no trust in alcoholic preparations; their use
will lead to intemperance; neither be partial
to any remedy that produces severe cathar-
tic effect, for prostration of the nervous
system and digestive organs is sure to fol-
low. The mildest and best medicine ever
invented for strengthening every part Of
the body aud restoring impaired or lost or
ganic functions to their normal condition,
and one which is having an unparalleled
and rapidly increasing sale in the Eastern
States, is Browns Iron Bitters. ANY drug
gist will procure it for you If you request
him to do so, especially when he finds you
cannot be persuaded 10 take some substi
tute. 1t does not contain alcohol, and is
the only preparation of Iron that cures
headache and does not blacken the teeth.
1t is sure Ieviver, true strengthener, and
the very best medicine ever invented for
permanently strengthening the pulmonary,
urinary and digestive organs, and prevent
ing consumption, kidney diseases and
chronic dyspepsia, often curing these dis
eases when all other remedies have failed,
for it is truly natures best assistant. ~
