THE saying that "charity begins at home"
has received rather violent shaking in
Montreal. Major Hiram Mills, who, during
his life, built wing to the Western Hospi-
tai, by his will gave $4,000 to the General
Hospital, $4,000 to McGill College, and
$4,000 to the Anglican Bishop, but left his
widow destitute. This will strike everybody
as glaring wrong, and two Of the legatees
seem to be of the same opinion, for McGill
College has given the widow $500 a year and
the Montreal Synod $3.50. OF course there
is nc knowing what may have been Major
Mils's idea in thus Furnishing his wife. The
legaiees, however, seem to admit that injus-
tice was done, and in that light their grants
to the widow are inadequate.

1t affords me pleasure to say that have recovered
from severe case of skin disease through the use
OF the CurIcuRA REMEDIES. My case which Is
known TO many of our best physicians and to thous-
ands OF our citzens has been reported fully in the
daily papers, and those who Interested are re-
ferred to it, 1t is not of ii. however, that | now
propose TO write but OF some features which have
invariably found to accompany the treatment of
skin and blood diseases which unnecessarily retard
a cure, These are: l. A lack of knowledge as to
how the remedies suggested are TO be used. q
Careless or spasmodie use of them. 3. Neglect OF
proper sanitary and hygienic measures and auxiliary
treatment. a. Want OF patience necessary to eff
feet permanent cure. Ii would seem hardly nee
essary TO advise oAe who has paid out his money for
medicine to master the directions and general ph-
losophy OF treatment recommended, by which alone
ne can expect to make cure But such Is often the
case. Many do not half learn how to obtain all the
efectof the remedies, because they do not half read
the pamphlet accompanying them entitled Diseases
Of the Skin and Blood, and Hoto 10 Cure Them
Others know so much more than the ortginators
that they feel in need of no instruction. In either
case there can be no great success. The CuTIouRA
REsoLvENT, the new blood purifier should be taken
internally and CUTIcURA and CUTicURA soar the
great skin cures, applied externally many times
per day as is found TO with the nature OF the
disease and regularity and faithfully persisted In
Careless or spasmodic use OF them cannot be ex-
pected to fayorably affect diseases which have been
years in reaching chronic state. Nor is IL reason
able to hope for speedy in cases tortured for
years by physicians with mercury, arsenic zinc and
lead. Blood humors, which are born in the system
IN many cases, and in others have poisoned the
blood tor years. must be patiently treated, with all
the aid obtainabe sf nourishing food and whole
some exercise, 10 make a permanent cure In my
own case have experienced so much of failure OF
despondency of useless expenditures, of worthless
advice. OF long, increased suffering, instead Of
speedy relief, as promised OF ignorance of supersi-
tion, OF posons and poisoners, that feel 1t both
duty and pleasure not only TO recommend to all
sufferers from every form of skin and blood diseases
these pure aud wholesome remedies but to empha-
size those points which have rendered cure in nv
ease possible, viz an intelligent faithful and per-
sistent use of the CurIcuRA REMEDIEs.

The waste which takes place in the manu-
facture of gas is estimated by DR.. Siemens
At e3.000,000 annually in England alone.
This waste occurs in the non-utilization of
the tar, sulphur, and ammoniacal liquors
produced in the process of extracting gas
from coal. The only element besides the
gas that has until lately been used is the
coke. A new oven is now being introduced
in England which at an extra cost of only
about 30 cents per ton saves something more
than dollars worth of the elements bitber-
to wasted, besides producing ten per cent.
more coke than the old "bee-hive'' oven.

BUTLER'S DEFEAT.

We cannot say that Ben Buffers
defeat in the race, for the governor.
ship of Massachusetts is regretable
| circumstance. On the contrary we
are not clear that it is not an occa-
sion for rejoicing on the part of the
Democratic party. 1t removes But
Ter from the scene of active politics,
and quiets all talk and suggestions
associating his name with the Pres
idential nomination next year. 1t
cannot be denied that this talk was
becoming annoying, if not embar-
RAISING; and had Tuesday recorded
a victory for the old man it might
have been difficult to get rid of
him in 1884. It is the veriest
nonsense to even think of Ben But
Ter being elected President. His
ability and fitness for the place can
not be taken into consideration.
His record is what would decide
the matter, and no intelligent per-
son can be in doubt as to what the
decision would be. Butler might
go out of the convention with the
unanimous vote Of the delegates for
an endorsement, and we believe the
people would repudiate him at the
polls. If they did not, it would be
because their memories were short
and they were lacking in self-re>
spect. However, having been
twice elected Governor as Dem
ocrat ia pronounced Republican
State, and having an overweening
ambition to become President,
he might have been disagreeably
troublesome in a national Demo-
cratic convention. On the whole,
therefore, it is better that he be put
down and out before the proceeding
might involve a dangerous break in
the ranks of the party.
Outside of politics there can be
little genuine sympathy for General
Butler in his defeat. ltwas as much
impudence as ambition that induced
him to "run" for the Office a second
time. He knows that Massachusetts
is not a Democratic State, ard is
shrewd enough to understand that
the people did not want him for
Governor. He forced himself upon
the party, compelling it to carry him
against its will. He has been re-
buked, and if it was not merited, it
at least eXcites no coincidence for
him.

EITHER SECRETARY LINCOLN Is
wrong or something is wrong with
the character of the young men who
enlist in the army. Last week the
marshal and district attorney of
Pittsburg applied to the Secretary
for the discharge of young man OF
that city because he had enlisted
while drunk, when Mr.. Lincoln
said: "lt were to discharge every
man who enlisted just for fun, or
while under the influence of liquor,
the discharges would equal the en-
listments." If this is true every man
in the regular army enlisted for fun.
or while drunk, and the military
force of the nation is made up OF a
class of men upon whom it would
not do to rely very implicitly. The
Secretary could hardly have in
tended that his assertion should be
taken literally, for he would not
like to utter SO severe comment
upon the character Of the countrys
soldiers.

sd will be three more than the
party needs to elect. 1t is
questionable if any other man than
Tilden can count New York as
Democratic before the polls are
opened, while it is certain that
Hendricks is the only person who
can make sure of Indiana as against
the opposition that will be en-
countered in that State.
On the whole the outlook appears
entirely satisfactory. The Dem
ocrats have victory within reach; all
they have to do is to grasp 1t. This
may be possible with any good
ticket, but with Tilden and Hend-
ricks it is absolutely certain.

WASTED SYMPATHY.

Much sympathy is expressed for
the many victims Of the bad fin
anciering or worse of the Rev. G..
M. Pierce. For the poor, delu1ed
widows and orphans who were
duped into entrusting their money
to him, we are sorry. These I'M
fortunate persons should not be
blamed for what they did. They
were led to believe that Pierce was
doing a prosperous business, and if
they had suspicious that he was en-
barrassed the fact that he was q
minister of the gospel must have
put it out of the minds of women
and children that he could defraud
them of their savings. For those
men who loaned him money
because he promised a higher rate
of interest . than they could
obtain elsewhere, we can feel no
sympathy whatever. We under
stand that he promised as high as
4 per cent. per month for the use of
money. Now, money is not worth
SO much in a country where the
prevailing rate is 10 per cent. per
anuum. Those who loaned to Mr..
Pierce at per cent. per month must
have known that he could not pay
the interest, and be honest with his
creditors; and they also knew that
the risk they were accepting was in
proportion to the outrageous char
acter of their demands. Their
greed deserves no better treatment
than they have received. Of
course the extortionate charges
of some of his creditors do
not in the Least excuse
Pierce. Rather is he to be cen-
sured for promising what he could
not fulfill without being dishonest
with others. If the man were not
insane, he knew that he was not
making his money earn him per
cent. q month. The ignorant dupes
of the parson are subjects for pity,
but the Smart Alexis" Rho ina,

gined they had found . soft one who
knew no better than to let them
pluck him, are deserving of the
treatment they have received. Here
after they may be less eager to bleed
q ninny or take advantage of a
mans miSfOrtunes.

THE STAR ROUTE CASES.

RerdelI Formally RoIeased-IkclIogg Files
Certain Pleas In nAbatement-BradyR Re
quirod to Give bail Again.
In the criminal court yesterday Montford
G. Rerdell appeared accompanied by Messrs.
Merrick and Ker After short consultation
with counsel Judge Wyle asked Rerdell if he
desired to withdraw his plea of guilty of con-
spiracy in the star route case Rerdell an
swered in the Affirmative.
"Under the circumstances" said Judge
Wylie, "the court has no hesitation in all ow-
ing that to be DONE one man cannot be
guilty of conspiracy. The jury has ac-
quilted the others, and that is enough"
Mr.. Merrick said, The government enters
a nolle pros. for him"
Tho court directed the clerk to enter the
nollc pros, and Rcrdel left the room.
After the organization of the iuries for the
June term, Mr. Ker called up the case against
VIM. Pitt Kellogg, charged with receiving
money In connection with a mail contract
while in tho United States senate. Mr. Kor
said he understood that Mr.. Kellogg was un-
dor bail.
Mr.. VIM. A. Cook asked permission to dis
patch messenger for Mr.. Kellogg, who was
with his counsel, Mr.. Nathaniel Wilson.
The request was granted. Mr.. Ker then
called up the two cases against Thomas j.
Brady, charging him with receiving money
while second assistant postmaster general in
consideration for increasing certain mail SER
vice. Mr.. Ker said that bail had not been
furnished in these cases, and asked for pro-
cess to bring Gen. Brady into court.
Judge Wylio replied that Mr. Ker could
have the process if he wanted it, and the
court would make it returnable to-day.
M. Wilson came into court and said that
Mr. Kellogg would waive the reading of tho
indictment in his case, and proposed to file
certain pleas in abatement.
Judge Wylie replied that Mr. Kellogg must
waive the reading of the indictment in person.
Mr.. Kellogg soon appeared aud did this.
Mr.. Wilson then presented his pleas. One
Of them attacks the construction of the grand
jury that found the indictment; another
plea raises the point that the orders of the
court were disrcgarded by the failure to re-
presentment; others complain of Mr. Ker's
presence in the grand jury room, and his par
ticipation in the deliberations Of the grand
jury.
"The whole thing is to the effect that we
filled up the jury" said Mr.. Ker TO a reporter
At his request, Judge Wylie fixed Saturday
next for hearing argument upon the pleas.
Mr.. A. B. Williams for Gen. Brady, asked
that the warrant ordered to issue in that case
be withdrawn, stating that Gen. Brady was
already under $4,000 bail in the untried aud
original star route indictment.
The court said that bail was necessary in
this case, but consented to withhold the war
rant upon Mr.. Williamss promise to cause
Gen. Brady's attendance in co urt to-day.

yesterday in tho Sixth Presbyterian church,
Rev. DR.. Bartlett, moderator, aud Rev. Dr.
Bittinger, stated clerk,
Tho action in reference to the Clifton
church, taken at the previous meeting OF the
presbytery, was recOnsidered, and the COM
mittee of home missions directed TO furnish
II with supplies until thenext stated meeting
of the presbytery. Rev. Charles Herr was, at
his own request, dismissed 10 the presbytery
of Wooster, Ohio. The session of the sixth
church, Washington city, was granted leave
TO supply its own pulpit until the fall meeting.
The case Of Mr.. +. ii. Burdick was then
taken up, it having been postponed from the
previous meeting.
Mr.. Burdick, it will be understood, had
preached and published II sermon in which
certain views were promulgated in opposition
TO the doctrines and the pOlity of the Presby-
terrain church. At meeting Of the presby-
terry held on the fourth instant these views
came up for consideration together with let
tcrs avOwing his change of views, which rem
drred it necessary TO sever his relations with
the Sixth church. His case gave rise to a
protTaCted discussion, but Mr.. Burdick being
absent no action twas taken further than to
cnoin him from preaching until its adjudi-
cation by the presbytery, Yesterday Mr..
Hurdick appeared aud made full and partic-
u!ar rctraction of all his errors, explaining
tho circumstances under which he was led
