In the Book of Numbers, xxi, II, occurs
The following reference: Wherefore it
is said in Book OF the Wars of the Lord"
Where is that book? Lost. In the third
Book of Kings 1t is recorded that Solomon
wrote three thousand proverbs. There
are not more than fifteen hundred. In the
same book it is mentioned that he wrote
four hundred and five canticles. There is
not one-hall Of that number in the present
Bible. Then we find an allusion to the
Book Of Nathan the Prophet. There is no
such book. In Chronicles we read that
the acts of David are written in the Book
Of Samuel the Seer and Nathan the
Prophet. There is no such book. There
was another Epistle of st. Paul to the Col
loSsianS; it is lost. st. Paul wrote five
Epistlcs to the Corinthians; we have only
two. Altogether twcnty-tlrcc books of
the Bible have been lOSt-nineteen from
the Old Testament and four from the New.
If YOU feel Yourself growing weaker,
your strength falling, the functions Of
your body becoming impaired, take warn
inm in time. Your blood is starving for
want of nOuriShmcnt. DR.. Guysott's Ie!-
low Dock and SarSaparilla is food for the
blood. 1t purities this stream OF life and
strengthens every part of the body, re-
builds a brUken-dOwn constitution, pro-
duccs dreamlcss slumber, and restores
wasted energies and Il shattered nervous
system. \ trial bottle will convince. No

WAsHINoTox, March IA Those who

eloquent manner we're sadly dissppoin,-

OF delivery was miserably weak All at
tempts at applause from the galleries
we're promptly silenced by Senator Fry,
who occupied the Presidents chair.
When 1t came to halloting the measure
passed by a vote Of 36 to Is.
After the passage Of the bill q pream-
BILE was offered. and though warmly op-
posed by Conger, Hawlev and others,
was passed by Q vote OF 80 to %. The
preamble recites that hoard Of officers
convened by the President to examine

stated that justice required the President
to annul the findings OF the court mar.
tial in Gen. Porter's case, and restore
him tn the position OF VII ch the sentence

effect from the date OF his dismissal from

The bill then authorizes the President
by and with the advice and consent Of
the Senate to appoint Gen. Porter TO the
position OF Colonel in the army OF the
same grade and rank held by him at the
time OF his dismissal. and authorizes the
President, 10 his discretion. to place
Gen. Porter on the retired list OF that
grade, Gen Porter, however, to receiv"
compensation or allowance prior to bis
under the act.
All that now remains for complete
OF Porter's honor before the
Is the Presidents signature to
the bill, and as that official Is known to
acquiesce in the action OF the Senate and
House, Il is thought that this will be
promptly granted
