The sicE1Ies Ezey Tragedy Recalled.

One of the objects of interest to Wis
itors in Washington is the old mansion
on Sixteenth street where Key and
Mrs. Sickles used to meet. The house
is still standing, hut the coiored won-
an who occupied it then, and was
formerly servant in the family, is
dead. Her son is a messenger in the
treasury department. Keys son is
now the manager of an opera com
pany, and Is known as james Barton
by all amusement patrons, A few
years ago he and Gen. Sickles met at
the house Of a mutual friend in New
York, and when they were introduced
they simply bowed without speaking.
The old club house on Lafayette
square has been scene Of other TRACE
dies. William H. Seward occupied
it when he was secretary Of state, and
in the southwest room he was lying
i'll when Payne assaulted him on the
night Of Lincoln's assassination The
tree under which Key was killed was
used by Payne as hitching post to
tie the saddle horse on which he at
tempted to escape. Belknap lived in
this house when he was member of
Grants cabinent, and there his first
wife died. It was there, also, that the
bargain was made between the first
Mrs. Belknap and Post Trader Marsh,
which resulted five years afterward in
the secretary's impeachment.

WASHINGTON, SPECIAL Telegram,
May 23.-George II. Butler, who Is
one of the most brilliant men in the
country, but who is unfortunately
cursed with dypsomania, has been a
voluntary inmate of an insane asylum
for the last eight months endeayoring
to cure himself of the appetite. His
uncle, Gen. Butler, offered him S10,-
600 if he would keep sober a year, and
he has tried his best TO earn the
money, but the other day he came out
to see the bicycle parade and could
not control himself. In the morning
when he came over from the asylum,
he looked as fresh as school boy, but
before midnight he was in the station
house drunk and dirty Being ar
raigned in the police court next day
for drunkenness he made a touching
appeal to the court, saying:
This is the first time for eight
months, Judge; I've tried, God knows
how hard, to keep from drinking, and
| went eight months without drop. |
claim your mercy and consideration.
Send me over to the asylum in charge
Of an officer, and I'll try again.

S. J. Peelle, republican, was clear
ly elected to Congress from the 9TH
Indiana district, but a Democratic
House, turned Peelle cut and seated
his oppoent VIM. English. This act
is a most glaring piece of rascality,
and we are glad to note that there
were thirty Democrats in the House
who had manhood and honor enough
in them to denounce the act and to
vote against it. Such acts as this is
a disgrace to any party and will as
surely react upon the party commit
ting them, as day follows day 1t is
Just such acts as this that is keeping
the Democratic party in the back
ground and it need never hope to
come to the front while it has such I'M
scrupulous leaders. Senator Ben Har-
rison says Peelle will be elected next
fall by 5000 majority, and that the
republican vote III that state will be
greatly increased by this piece Of
knavery.

Northern Wisconsin booms with
renewed energy this season. New
lines of railroad are being laid out and
built, and old lines are being extend
ed, at various points along which new
towns are springing into existence,
saw-mills and other wood manufact-
uring institutions are being erected,
and In the wake of these comes the
hardy settlers who finds a ready and
remunerative market for the timber on
his land and the products of the viz
gin soil. New openings for capital
and labor-twin giants arc springing
up on every hand, and the poor man,
the man of moderate means and the
capitalist alike can here find an album
dant reward for their labors and in

DR. H. P Gauthier, in an article
which he publishes in the Medical
Review, strongly advocates the use Of
Iodine for Diptheria, and claims great
success for that treatment in his own
experience. His plan Of treatment is
as follows:
The patient is ordered tincture of
iodine in ten or twelye-drop doses ey-
cry hour, we'll diluted with water, so
long as the fever lasts, subsequently
reducing it to ten drops every two,
and finally three hours; local applica-
tons of the drug are made us of at
the same time. These latter should
be made by the physician himself at
least twice day. For internal use,
/ give, latterly, the decolorized tinct-
ure; bread and starchy articles of diet
are at the same time used in abund-
ance. Such is my treatment.

assisted by his people, have at length
found it. 1t is about an English mile
in lenght and is nearly six feet high
and Of equal width. Through its base
runs Il water channel 81 inches wide
and % feet deep. The whole is arch
ed and vaulted, and very strong and
durable. The people of that day are
shown to have been but little, if any,

AD DVANTAGES OFLOCATING
IN NORTH CAROLIN1.

CLIMATE.-While the cold is not so severe
the temperature of midsummer is not excess
i've or trying as farther North. Our seasons
are longer, and therefore our crops are not
killed by late or early frosts.
THE SOIL is of a variety of compositions
clayeX, gravelly lime stone, slate, sandy loan
&c. This great variety of soils and the mild
ness and advantages of climate will account
for the variety of products.
SOCIETY No section in the Union has
better executed laws. The blessings of po-
itical, civil and religious liberty, are no.
where more fully protected than in n. c.
IN GENERAL.-The great fertility of our
lands, the mildness of our climate free from
the scorching and whitening heat of the South
and the extreme cold and freezes Of the North
go to show that North Carolina is the most
favored agricultural section in America. Ma
ture has not only given us the advantages of
producing, but it has provided us with water
power to work up what the soil produces for
us.
