General Rosecrans yesterday issued q
call to the Democratic members OF the
United States House of Representatives
to meet in caucus on Saturday evening
for the purposeof nominating q Speaker
and other officers.
No call has yet been issued for Re-
publican caucus. Several Republican
members say that their caucus will be
informal and that all the old officers
will be renominated.
Congressman Springer, of Illinois, yes.
teriay wrote to the Democratic dele
cation from that State "placing his
candidacy for Speakership in their
hands" The delegates held confer
ence on the subject, and unanimously
concluded that 1t would be inadvlsable
to present Mr.. Springer to the caucus
as candidate for Speaker. The SET
ting aside of Mr.. Springer reduces the
number of recognized candidates for
Speaker to three-Messrs. Randall, Car
Isle and Cox-and makes the result
difficult to predict. The New Workers
are expected to stand by Mr.. Cox. 1t is
stated that the Arkansas Democrat,
heretofore for Carlisle, came out yester-
day for Randall.

This preparation, which has been known
as PARKER's GINGER TONIC, will hereafter
be called simply PARKER's Tonic. This
change II made for two reasons nrst, be-
cause ginger is an unimportant flavor
ing ingredient, and secondly, because un-
principled dealers deceive their customers
by substituting inferior preparations under
the name Of ginger.
There is no change, however, in theprepara-
ton itself, and all bottles remaining 10 the

PETERSBURG, Va, March 5.-The most
remarkable phenomenon ever witnessed in
this vicinity occurred early yesterday
morning. An immense ball of fire darted
across the heavens brilliantly Illuminating
the city. Witnesses of the phenomenon
were considerably frightened. Its course
was northwest, and an explosion was heard
shortly after its passage. The explosion
was followed by loud detonations, tremors
of the earth, and light of very brilliant
and blue tint all along the route. Per
sons were awakened by the noise and

1t is scarcely agreeable to think that the
cockroach could ever become an active
agent in medicine Yet it is used almost
universally in Russia as a diuretic in GER
tain diseases, and it is also frequently used
in Europesn medical practice as cure for
Brights disease. The professor of
Mstcria Medica in Jefferson College re-
Gently stated that the cockroaches are not
entirely unknown in the medical practice
IN Philadelphia, though physicians do not
care to have it known that they prescribe
so unpopular an insect in their practice
and few druggists viii acknowledge that
they keep ii in stock. The Professor says
that cockroach tea may be used with good
effect in certain cases. Its medical pro
perties resemble those of cantharides, and
when prescribed it is in the shape of pill
made with powder of the dried insect.
The cockroach ia no more offensive than
the cantharides. both being of the same
class of insect and the smell is not SO OBJ
iectionable as that of the Spanish fly.
