A CAPITOL HILL ROMANCE.

handsome resid ence on Capitol Hill tall and
radiantly- beautiful girl sat silently in front OF

up the chimney and cast ruddy glow on all that
came within the range of their lambent beams.
Cleopatra Mcclure was the only daughter of q

presided over his household with such stately

No More CreedmoOr at Present-The Om-
 cers' MeetInR-The Coming Encamp-
 ment.
 The quarterly meeting of the officers of the Second regiment was held yesterday in the Union Armory. Among the officers present were Col Graham, Major Engel, Capt. Spen- cer of Co A, Capt. Bannon of Co. c, Water bury Capt. Loomis of the Light Guard, Capt. Thomas of the Blues, Capt. Tiesing of the City Guard, Capt. Arnold of the Grays, of this city; Capt. Leavenworth, Go. K, Wallingford Lieuts. Howarth of the Grays, Bowman of the Grays, Lawrence and Wait of the Blues, and others.
 Col. Graham presided and Capt. Loomis was secretary. The coming encampment at Mantle and arrangements therefor were prin- cipally discussed.
 It was voted to employ John Beckwith, of Mantle, to floor the tents to be used in the coming encampment at $1.sO per tent; to increase the regimental (the American) band from twenty to twenty-five pieces when they are taken to camp; to assess each man in the regiment $1 to pay for the band and
 flooring tents; and to buy ten trumpets for the buglers from the regimental fund. Col oneI Graham received communication from Corporal Charles Stevens of the drum corps complaining that there had been no meeting of the drum corps for practice since the last encampment. Colonel Graham agreed to look into the matter.
 It was also voted that the regimental team which is to be formed shall confine it's prac- tice and prize competition to this State, and shall not participate in the Creedmoor shoot ing.
 The assessment of $1 per man is very low assessment, much less than in former years. It includes the cost of band with other expenses. No reference was made ir open meeting to the Lieutenant Colone1 Bacon matter.

Domestic accidents are common to women, and some of them are very serious. Mrs. Warner, of South Rondout, Ulster Co., N. F., some weeks ago at tempted 20 take from her child pair of shears with which it was playing. slight struggle ensued, in which the point of the shears entered Mrs Warmers left eye entirely destroying the sight. Her family physician did what he cou1d but intensely painful inflammation arose, which, by sympathy. threatened the of the other eye. Total blindness to woman having the household is irretrievable cal anity. In this strait Mrs. w. applied to the vel known and skillfu1 surgeon, Dr. DaUid Kennedy, of Rondout, N. r., who removed the injured eye by q very successful operation setting aside all danger of further harm to the sight of the other eye. But owing pain and mental distress her system needed . tonic and restorative medicine. To do this work the Doctor prescribed 'Kennedys Favorite Remedy,' which sustained it's reputation and laid feun- dation of health.
 Dr. Kennedy's sFaVorfte Remedy'' re- moves all impurities from the blood, regulates the Liver and Kidneys, cures constipation, and all dis eases and weaknesses peculiar to Females It is for sale by all our druggists at ONE DOLLAR a bottle.
