New Orleans Picayuns, IA.


On Wednesday the Anchor Liner
W. 2. Halliday sailed for st. Louis.
Application to Captain j. B. Woods,
local agent of the line, gained the
information that she had been, unso-
licited BY him, inspected and fur
nished with clean bill of health by
the officers Of the Sanitary Council IN
this city. Captain Woods was asked
if this resulted from the weakening
of the managers Of the line at St.
Louis, and whether or not the boat
owners had resolved to pay the money
demanded from them by agents of the
Sanitary Council. Captain Woods
assured the reporter that, so far
from there being any weakening
on the part Of the steamboatmen,
it was the agent of the Sanitary Coun.
Gil who had backed down from his
arbitrary demands. This Sanitary
Council, as has been previously stated,
has been authoritatively represented
in this city by its Secretary, DR.. John
h. Rauch, of Chicago. DR.. Rauch,
doubtless, began to reflect that Ibis
Association, without color of law or
shadow of authority, in assuming to
stop steamboats, on national highs
way like the Mississippi river, and to
harass their owners with illegal de-
mauds, thereby working pecuniary loss
and damage upon an important branch
OF commerce, was going little too
far. Somebody might be held respon-
sible in the courts of the country for
such loss and damage, and as he was
the active and personal agent in this
raid upon the Anchor Line this
responsibility might fall on
him. At any rate, on Tuesday he
had an interview with Captain Woods,
10 which he denied any desire to in.
terfere with commerce, and he de-
clared that he would at once order his
inspectors here, Drs. f. W. Parham
and p. B. McCutchon, to resume in
spection of the Anchor Line boats,
and this was done yesterday in the
case of the W. 2. Halliday. 1t also
turns out that the Ohio river boats
pay nothing to DR.. Rauch's associa-
ton, as the pool on which they were
combined into one line is said to be
dissolved, and each boat acting for
itself. DR.. Rauch admitted in the
course of the interview with Captain
Woods that his association was poorly
supplied With money, although solidly
backed up with moral influence,
and that he had made himself respon-
sible for the salaries of inspectors, but
that the funds he had relied on were
not as available as was expected.

A BOYS TALE.

''Yes," said the bad boy, with vacant look, "I take no interest in the pleasure of the chase any more, though I did have a quiet little fun, this morning at the breakfast table. You see pa is the con- trariest man ever was. If l complain that anything at the table doesn't taste good, pa says it's all right. This morning ] took the syrup pitcher and emptied out the white syrup and put in~some cod liver oil that ma is taking for her cough. put some on my pancakes and pretended to taste of it, and told pa the syrup was sour, and not fit to eat. Pa was mad in g second, and he poured out some on his pancakes and said I was getting too con- founded particular. He said the syrup was good enough for him, and he sopped his pancakes in it and fired some down his neck. He is a gaul darned hypocrite- that's what he is. I could see by his face that the cod liver oil was nearly killing him, but he said that the syrup was all right, and if I didn't eat mine he'd break my neck and by gosh had to eat it, and pa he guessed he hadn't got much appe- tite and he would just drink cup of cof- fee and eat a doughnut.

'The Missing Link, the snowman says, humbug people generally will be in- clined to call it, is just now attracting wondering attention at the London Eng. Aquarium. It is girl about seven years old, hairy, and having slight elongation of the lower vertebr@, suggestive of tail. The story told of this strange creature is that she was caught in forest of Laos in southeastern Asia and brought to England by Carl Book, Norwegian, and author of ''The Head Hunters of Borneo." A man and woman are said to have been captured at the same time, but what has become of them is not stated. When the child would wander away the parents would call her back with plaintive cry, "Krao," and she has been given that name. The little one has large, dark and lustrous eyes, a nose so flat that the nostrils hardly show, fat and pouch-l1ke cheeks and thick low CT lip. The heavy black hair grows over the forehead to the eyebrows, and down the cheeks like whiskcrs, while the rest of the face is covered with fine, dark downy hair, and hair from an inch to an inch and half long covers the head and shoulders. The child has already picked up few words of English, and is said to be frank and affectionate, and to show genuine feminine delight in pretty clothes and gewgaws.

In celebrating his 46 birthday at Chica- go, recently, Tom Thumb said that when first exhibited by Barnum he was only five years old, and so light that a strong man could hold him on the palm of the hand. A fashionable overcoat of those days was like the ulster of the present, ,and had large side pockets with flaps over them. "Barnum wore one of these, Tom relates, ''and could get in one of the pockets, and by doubling myself up snug Iy the flap would conceal nae. It was a favorite trick of Barnum's to put me in his pocket and appear in the hall about the time for opening. our entertainment. He would call for me, affecting to be sur prised that was not on the platform, and then I would respond, Here I am, sir, emerging from the pocket. Alas how l have grown since then P

THE OLD WAx.-Away back in 1925, Con. necticut people when they had coughs and colds, used to cure them very readily. Our fore-fathers were quite as robust, and lived longer than people of this generation. We commend the recipe then in use, to the care full attention of our readers. Before present ing the receipt, however, it is due to truth to state, that it is the best remedy of which we have any knowledge, and we have tried about all in. the market too. It is 8 specific for all kindred troubles of the lungs, throat and head, for inflammation of the mucous mem brane of the nose produced by catarrh it has no equal. It has proved a sure cure when taken in the first stage of consumption. We allude to American Cough Drops. Sold by Druggists, 35 cents bottle.

Christian Union: The bill for the re- lief of General Fitz-John Porter from the sentence passed upon him so many years ago, for disobedience of General Pope's orders and for supposed treachery, has passed the senate by small majority :; the vote was B to 27. It is not probable that the bill will get before the house for it's action during its present session. The public mind is in confused and uncer- tain condition on this subject, but we think the general sentiment of the coun- try will sustain, if not demand, the final passage of the senate bilt. It is not pos sible for civilians to investigate adequate ly the circumstances of this case, or pro- nounce just judgment upon it; but the fact that General Porter has been exon erated by court of inquiry, and that General Grant advocates his release from the obloquy cast upon him, will satisfy most Americans that the case is one to which the maxim "Every man should be presumed innocent until he is guilty" ap- plies, and the popular verdict will be in the nature of the Scotch verdict, "Not proven" The senate rightly refused to grant back pay; the case is not clear enough to call for any such compensation for supposed injustice as grant of back pay would involve.
 Dinners are not often given on such 8 peculiar occasion as one given short time ago in Pesth. A noted s'fre-eater" cele- brated in this way his twenty-ifth duel. No one was invited who had not fought at least twelve duels The only guest from Great Britain and Ireland was the OGor- man Mahon. It was a scared assemblage. The guests bore tokens of their favorite pastime in slit ears and noses, scared cheeks, and hands short of the common number of fingers The host was espec- ially distinguished by the number and va- riety of his permanent and inseparabls decorations. It would not be hard to find similar dinner party among students in Germany, where attendance at dueling meetings is made more compulsory by the students than attendance at the lectures is by the professors. Prince Bismarck himself, when at college, earned the so- briquet of the fighting student from his constancy and success in dueling.

Medical Times The peculiar action on the kidneys and urinary organs of asparagus is frequently noticed during the season. Prof. Benson recently proved in the case of the Emperor William and others that in com- bination with malt and quinine it is an abso- lute specific for diseases of the liver, kidneys and urinary organs. His method has been adopted by the Malt Bitters Company, and this great German food is now composed of malt, hops, quinine bark and asparagus.
