appears to have successfully completed his
task In his curious introduction the Raia
says: II have attempted a free render
ing into Sanskrit and Bengali giving for
the number of syllables to each line In the.
English piece an equivalent number of
letters in the Sanskrit and Bengal vers-
ions.e The song has been set to twelve
Indian melodies selected. we are told, with
a view to show some of the varied phases
of Indian music. One of these, an Indian
air which goes by the name of Luna
Jhjhiti," is stated to be in great measure
similar TO the familiar English melody
Another, known as ''Shuhana"-a favorite
melody with Mahometan Emporors of India
lis, we learn. usually sung on suspicious
occasions and is admirably adapted for a
benedictory song like the National An

season, and has been selected to commem
crate the honor conferred upon me in this
season in being asked to undertake this
loyal and to me greatful task.

ing of the Union Veteran League, held to-

Veteran League, of Chicago, an organiza

debates in the United States senate on the
bill to reinstate Gen. Porter to his former
rank in the army, and many of them hav-

the court martial, on trial of said cause
was correct; therefore, be it

of Chicago, that it is the sense of the mem

taken by Senator John a Logan in OPP
position to the passage of the bill to re-

New York sunday Murcury.

New York Sunday Murcury.
The Bulletin of the Royal Academy of
Medicine of Belgium presents to the world
the new method of treating consumption
and bronchial affections originating with
Melsens. Ammonia, its salts, or its COM
pick compounds, is the curative The
discoveries attention was first drawn to
the ammonial effects on persons inhaling
the vapors of carbonate of ammonia from
stables. It Is surprising that no one has
made the observation before, for livery
stable keepers and attendants are usually
the most healthy looking men, and are
rarely troubled with respiratory affections
M. Melsensa first medicated himself dur
ing bronchial attack by wearing in bag
attached to the neck of his shirt pieces of
ammonia carbonate, and was cured in a
few days. He then introduced it in his
practice. and satisfied himself of its rem
edical efficacy. Going still further he
sprayed the respiratory passages with
ammonia, and here, too, he met with sur
prising success, The remedy is so simple
that any druggist can prepare it, and if
all that is claimed for it be true pulmonic
disorders viii have fewer victims.

The old man was silent for few mo-
nleilts. AT length, rubbing his head in
that manner characteristic of his race,
he replied:

''Old man," exclaimed the governor
with enthusiasm Il cannot refuse you,

men sought the back yard. A few min
utes were spent in arranging prelimina-
ries and they grappled.

gro lowered one hand and grasped that
part of the governors trousers, which
may be politely termed the junction.

ing the looseness of Ben's raiment.

PERHAPS one Of the most peculiar
episodes which has ever been chronicled
in the history Of the United States, in a
small way, has been the career Of Mrs.
Langtry. First springing into notice
through the invidious favor Of the
Prince Of Wales, this bold and brazen
beauty, who, In her way, Is quite an
equivalent to the Nell Gwynne Of
Charles the Seconds time, has signalized
herself by number Of pranks that place
her in eccentricity, however removed in
histrionic genius, on a par with the
Bernhard. Few readers of newspapers
have forgotten the Mordaunt trial, the
details OF which were paraded with such
disgusting pruriency in the English and
American newspapers The develop
ments of that trial showed what IL was
for lady to be favored with the friend
ship OF the Prince Of Wales. The only
thing which favorably distinguishes the
heir TO the British crown from George
". is that he has managed to maintain
a certain sort of decency In his domestic
affairs result which is due in large
measure TO the fact that he possesses
wife who is as full Of tact and resources
as she is beautiful. But. with all the
scandals attaching 10 woman conspicu-
ously befriended by the Prince, the
Langtry resorts to the stage. Without
a pretence that she possesses any histri-
onic gifts whatever, she lends herself to
the vulgar scheme Of drawing houses
through an exhibition Of her per-
sonal charms. Managers compete
for the privilege Of exhibiting this
prize beauty, and the Lily was able to
boast, the other day, that she had made
100000 by her American theatrical
career Tho scandalous incident OF
Freddie Gebhardt enabled Mrs. Lang
try TO secure an immense amount Of free
advertising. With husband some
where in England, this vulgar woman
delights in phlandering around the
country with young man who has
moro money than brains. and who seems
oblivious of the fact that he is making
calf of himself. Nothing will suit tn,
pair but invading the various American
fashionable watering places in a speciaI
car, Freddie, of course, n conspicuous
feature of the Hly's retinue. Only IN
one country of the civilized world could
a vulgar adventures, like Mrs. Lang
try, insult the public with such impuni
ty Those of our people who compete
for seats to see this feminine monstros
ty, and thus guarantee an enormous
premium upon her unrivaled cheek
care nothing of the evil to the young re
sulting from such disgusting exhibitions
The work OF half the pulpits of the
United States is undone by a practica
demonstration that nothing pays so wei
or attracts so much adulation as con
spicuous trampling under foot, by wo
man, of the marriage tie. And yet thii
person, who is selling the privilege. o
inspecting her charms nightly at Sc
much ahead, came to America from thu
most select society of England. A re
collection of the Mordaunt episode il
needed to explain this singular circum
stance.
