painful infammatory action therein for two long
years; the other eye finally becoming sympathetic
cally affected, her general health seriously suffer
ing indeed she was mere wreck, a walking skele-
ton. In this terrible strait she consulted DIR.
David Kennedy, of Rondout, n. Y, who told her at

quietly but firmly said. GAN right Doctor, bat
don't give me choroform. Let my husband sit by
my side during the operation, and 1 will neither

woman kept her word. Talk of soldierly courage
This showed greater pluck than it takes to face a
hundred guns. TO restore her general health and
give tone and strength to the system, DR.. Kennedy
then gave the 'Favorite Remedy which cleansed
the blood and impaired new life to the long suffer-
ing woman She rapidly gained health and strength

rival of the body in Nice il was taken pos
session of by the municipal authorities, who
placed it on exhibition, and then, despite
the protests of the dead mans relatives, who
wished to have the burial privately and ex-
peditiously conducted, the speech making
recommended, and in the end the private
mourners were obliged to interfere and to
effect the interment by an exercise of force.
In their conduct over Gambetta's death, the

HARTFORD Courant: Washington cores
pondents are indulging in prophesies that
neither the tariff bill, bankruptcy bill, nor
the Fitz John Porter bill, will pass both
houses of Congress during the present ses-
sion. 1t seems probable from the DISPOSE
ton manifested by Democratic Senators
of all parliamentary expedients, and the
efforts to reduce or abolish the taxes on
whiskey and tobacco will imperil the inter-
nal revenue bill. The delays occasioned by
the discussion of these bills will retard the
other important measures, and the Republi-
can majority in both houses is too small to
make successful Roadway against the deter
mined opposition of the minority.
