The Insane Asylum squabble.

A injecting of the Trustees of the Insane Hos
pital was held yesterday for the transaction of
regular business. The trouble between the
superintendent and the trustees was passed in
silence, and the session was devoted wholly to
ordering the purchase of supplies for the insti-
tuition. At the meeting on the 9th of June for
the transaction OF general business, however, a
quietus is likely to be put upon the differences
which have caused the breach between the
superintendent and trustees.

Another Triumph of indianapolis inventors.

AHOIner TRIUMPH OF Indianapolis INVENTORS.
The National SAFEGUARD Company have just
lifted up an office and factory for supplying "a
long-felt want"-a saw-guard that is practically
perfect for the purposes intended.
Our reporter visited the factory, Rooms 5 and
6 old Journal building, on the Circle, where
these guards are mounted on saws, in actual
working order as found in any mill, and demon
strate perfect immunity from danger to work
men or visitors. Long, patient toll, experiment
and expenditures of money, has resulted in re-
wardtng the inventors in producing these very
simple and inexpensive devices, which claim the
Immediate attention of every mill owner, not
only on the score of the exercise of humanity to-
ward his employees, but to his pocket, as an i'm
munity against all claims for damages; and also
to the workman against the manning of body or
loss of life, to which he is constantly exposed
with an unprotected saw.
We predict for this enterprise a demand equal
to the fine facilities they have provided. We ad-
wise all to call and see for themselves, or send to
above address, as the company mean business,
and viii cheerfully and promptly respond to all
claims on their attention.

SKIN HUMORS.
Wonderful Cure of a Lad twelve years old, who,
fer eight years, from the top of his head to
his ankles, was One Mass of Scabs.

MY son, a lad twelve years of age, was afflicted
with the worst form of Eczema for a period of
eight years. 80 virulent was it that from the top
or his head TO within q few inches of his ankles
he was one mass OF scabs, which refused to yield
to any treatment that was attempted. Every
remedy that was suggested by friends or physi-
clans was tried in vain. AllOpathy, homeopathy,
herbs, roots, saltwater baths, 1aXseed pOultices,
soaps, ointments, and, in short, everything that
could be done to eradicate the disorder seemed
only to aggravate it, and the child's life became
a burden to him, and the expense of the various
experiments was a constant drain upon our re-
sources.
My wife, reading the advertisement of the Gu
ticura Remedies in one of the daily papers, re-
solved to make one more attempt at a cure. THE
disease was now enoroaching upon his face. and
seemed incurable,l gave a reluctant consent
to the proposal, and an interview was sought
with a famous lady physician of New York, who
made a most thorough examination of the case,
and promised q cure without the least hesitation
week there was a marked change; the raw and
angry sores began to grow pale, and along the
outer edges scaled of, and as time wore on they
began to disappear entirely, until at the present
writing the only veS.ige is one small spot upon
the forearm, scarcely visible and fast disappear
ing.
Thus after eight years OF expense and anxiety,
we have the intense satisfaction of seeing the
child's skin as fair and smooth as it was before
this dreadful cutaneous disorder attacked him.
Sincerely yours, CHAS. EAYRE NKL

He ts Entitled 90 IL.


Washington Post.
In she Supreme Court Of the United
States yesterday the case Of Stephen
Percy Ellis VS.. Jefferson Davis, an
appeal from the Circuit Court Of the
United States for the District OF
Louisiana, was decided. This was a
suit in equity brought by the next Of
kin and collateral heirs Of the late
Sarah Ann Dorsey, of Mississippi, for
the purpose Of having set aside, as
void and Of no effect, will whereby
she was bequeathed all her real and
personal property to her agent and
confidential adviser, Jefferson Davis.
1t was maintained by the complain,
ants that the relief sought should
have been granted, for the Tes50lss
that the testatrix at the time the will
was drawn and signed was not Of
sound mind, and that she was unduly
influenced. In the court below the
bill Of complainant was dismissed on
demurrer. This court holds that
the action of the Circuit Court in dis,
missing the bill was right for the rea-
son that the claim Of Mrs. Dorsay's
collateral heirs was properly the sub
jeot Of an action of revindication,
which furnished a plain, adequate and
complete remedy at law, and therefore
constituted bar to the proceedings
in equity. The decree Of the Circuit
Court was affirmed with costs, and the
cause remanded to the. Circuit Court
Of the United States for the Eastern
District Of Louisiana. The opinion
was by Justice Matthews.
