Humor of the Stomach,

Much of the distress and sickness attributed to
dyspepsia, chronic diarhea and other causes is
occasioned by humor in the stomach. Several
cases, with all the characteristics of these com
plants, have been cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Other cures effected by this medicine are so
wonderful that the simplest statement of them
affords the best proof that it combines rare cura-
tive agents, and when once used, secures the
confidence Of the people.

A large crowd of spectators assembled about
an immense excavation at tho intersection Of
New Jersey avenue and l. street northwest,
y yesterday afternoon Mai, Lydecker, Lieut..
Symons, and Mr.. John Ellis were also there,
bustling around in very lively manner.
Maj. Lydecker had his coat sleeves pulled up
and gave frequent orders to the forty workmen
who were hard at work in and about tho
great hole. They had just finished the
largest and most successful water main
connection ever made in this city. The
operation lasted forty-eight hours aud the
men were compelled TO work night and day.
So interested were Mos5rs Lydecker, Symon,
and Ellis, that they remained at tho spot
during the greater portion of tho two nights
and superintended in person. During tho
forty-eight hours some portions of East
Washington had their entire water supply
cut OF, and others had their supply reduced
These supplies were turned on In full at 1850
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The connections
that were put in the 20,foot excavations con-
sisted Of colossal "T' joint, weighing twenty
tons, and an adjoining valve or 'cut OFF, of

The War OF 1872.

The verdict of posterity upon the
war of 1872 may be said TO be this !:
That there was ample ground for it,
and that it completed the work of the
revolution; and yet that it was the i'm
mediate product of few ambitious
men, whose aims and principles were
not really so high as were those of
many who opposed the war. The out
rageous impressment of American sea-
men touched point of national pride,
and Justly; while the United States
submitted to this it certainly could not
be called an Independent nation; and
the abuse was practically ended by the
war, even though the treaty of peace
was silent. On the other side, tho
dread entertained of Napoleon by the
Federalists was perfectly Legitimate
and this, too, time has confirmed. But
this peril was really far less pressing
than the other: the United States
needed more to be liberated from the
domineering attitude of England than
from the remoter tyranny of Napoleon,
and it was therefore necessary to reckon
with England first. AS matter of
IdcJ, lne TcuerdliStS ulu Cnelr uuty i'll
action; the Commonwealth of Massa-
chusetts furnished during those three
years more soldiers than any other; and
the New England States, which opposed
the war, sent more men into the field
than the Southern States, which
brought on the contest. Unfortunately
the world remembers words better
than actions-literG Scripta n1dnet--
and the few questionable phrases of the
Hartford Convention are now better re-
membered than the 1000 men which
Massachusetts, raised in 1871, or the

The dynasty OF the Hohenzollerns II
Prussia has greater antiquity than
any other of the chief reigning houses
of Europe; for, although they did not
receive their scepter at the hands OF
Sigismund until the early part of the
fifteenth century, they have transmitted
it, without interruption and without
dispute, during the whole subsequent
period. How different within that time
have been the fortunes of many other
royal houses! In England the success
sion has been so often changed 10y force
and by law that the principle OF
hereditary right is become mere ira
dition of Tory jurists. The quarrels
of rival pretenders in Spain have
wasted the splendid legacy of Ferdinand
and Isabella. The Bourbons have twice
acquired and twice lost the throne or
France. The ancestors of the Roman
offs had just become domiciled in Rus
sia as subjects of the Tartar Cars, the
Turks were still besieging Constanti-
nople, and the family of Hapsburg-
Lorraine had not entered the peeragc
of Europe, when Burggrave Frederick
of Hohenzollern became Margrave and
Elector of Brandenburg.
The family take their name from the
heights of Zollern-Hohen-Z Zollern-
the ancestral seat in the Suabian Alps

AS myth, this is, perhaps, as good as
any other; but the historian can trace
the house back safely only about eight
hundred years, or to the middle of the
eleventh century. A hundred years
later the Count of Zollern became, by
fortunate marriage, Buregrave OF

OBITUARY.
Charles Reade.

Charles Reade, the noted English novelist,
who died recently in London, was born in
1914 the son of an English country gentle
man, IN as enviable n social position as can
we'll be conceived. His boyhood was both ro-
bust and studious, the right preparation for
u life of astonishing intellectual results. He
was educated at Magdaen Hall, Oxford.
After graduation he read law, and
gained a Vineran fellowship at the Univer-
sity of Oxford in 1912. A year later he was
called to the bar While Mr.. Reade's chief
distinction has been in the fields of fancy, his
voice has been not infrequently heard on
social and political questions. His novels,
moreover, some more particularly than
others, have dealt with abuses and strongly
suggested the necessity of reform. In
lit Is Never Too Late TO Mend,
for example, published in 1856,
the atrocities Of prison discipline,
as then administered weie dealt with in
most powerful manner. We may be par
doned for adding that purpose in Il literary
work outside OF the artistic intention, while
perhaps marring 1t as viewed from the stand
point OF mere art, Is not regarded with dis
favor by readers in the English-speaking
countries. This is particularly remarkable
when n contrast is made between English and
French writers on fiction.
Charles Reade began his long list OF sue
ces5es as a novelist with "Peg Wotfington,"
published in 1853, work which evinced the
manly sympathy, independence, and liberal
views of the author, while ovidencng mas
terry in style, construction, and imaginative
power. In the same year he produced
"Christie Johnstone." "lt Is Never Too
Late to Mend " appeared in 1865; white
Lies" the next year afterward. OF his re-
manning works =" Griffith Gaunt," published
in 1863, is the most talked about; but Tho
Cloister and the HEARTH produced in 1851,
is regarded by the best judges as his ablest
production.

with pretending to favor low taxes and fewer
otficeholders, and yet making taxes higher and
offices more numerous; denounces the lease OF

petition with free skilled labor, and condemns
