to get the testimony of the multitude wEo have used HooD's SARsAPARILLA for de- bility, languor, lassitude, and that general feeling of stupidity, weariness and exhaus- tion which every one feels during this season, we should be able to present to our readers such an overwhelming mass of commend atcry messages, that the few who have not tried it would do so at once. It is positive fact, and has been so effectually demon strated that no one to-day denies 1t, that
 Hoods Sarsaparilla contains more real med cinal value than any article before the people.

l}laine's religion is now set at rest by
the publication in the Tribune. of 4
letter from the Rev. James ii. Ecob. a
Congregationalist minister now in
Albany but for nine years pastor OF
the church In Augusta, of which Mr.
Blaine is member. Rev. Mr.. Ecob
states that Mr.. Blaine's father was a
Presbyterian and his mother a Cath
ole; that Mr.. Blaine is not
a Catholic but straightout
New England orthodox Congre-
gatlonallst." The reverend gentle
man further says that James G.
Bialne has never been a catholic
since coming to mans estate" and
adds, "If as little child he took his
mothers hand and walked with her
20 church, why there is a good prot
eStent day of judgment coming which
VIII no doubt purify as by fire the
touch of that mothers hand"
We hope after this that the cues
ton of Mr.. Blaine's religion will be
dropped. 1t ought never to have
been raised.

FROM GALVESTON.

GALVESTON, July To-day was
generally observed as a holiday. Twas
ushered in by a salute of q guns.
The cotton exchange, banks, courts
and wholesale business hoIses were
closed. Flags and bunting were pro-
fusely displayed. The Washington
guards celebrated the day at Dalian's
garden; also participated in by local
military organizations, and Houston
Light Guards. In consequence of the
excessive heat, the street parade was
abandoned. The festivities at the
garden embraced an exhibition drill
by the Houston Light Guards and
Washington Guards.
Col. John F. Elliott delivered
mastery GRAFTON, his theme being the
unity of Texas, which was enthusiast
ticaly applauded.
The city virtually emptied itself on
the beach this afternoon.
The festivities continued until late
hour. The best of order prevailed.

THE MAN WITHOUT
FACE.

There is to be seen at Landrecies,
in the department of the north, says
the London Globe, an INVALID artillery
soldier who was wounded in the late
Franco-German war, when he was
horribly mutilated by the bursting of
a Prusslan shell. The mans face was
literally blown off, including both
eyes, there being left behind some
scanty rem, r. of the osseouS and
muscular systems. The skull, which
is well covered with hair, was left
intact, so that the man had a
most hideous and ghostly ap-
pearance. This DISPLACEMENT has
been completely concealed by mask,
which was made for him under the
direction of the principal medical
officer of Val de Grace, in Paris,
whether he had been transferred
from the field ambulance. The mask
was constructed by surgeon dentist
named Delalain. 1t includes false
palate and a complete set of false
teeth; and it is so perfect that the
functions of respiration and mastica-
ton, which were necessarily and i'm
perfectly performed, are almost COM
pletely restored to their normal con-
dition, and the voice, which was
rather husky, has resumed its natural
tone. The man speaks distinctly, the
sense of smell. which had entirely
disappeared, has returned, and can
even play the flute. He wears two
false eyes, simply to fill up the cavi-
ties of the orbits, for the parts repre-
senting the eyes in the mask are
closed. In fact, the mask is so well
adapted to what remains of the real
face as to be considered one of the
finest specimens of the prothetic art
that could be devised.
The man himself, whose name is
Moreau, and who Is in perfect health,
is looked upon as a living curiosity,
and travellers go a good deal out Of
their way to see him. His face, or
rather, his mask. is, of course, without
any expression, but his special senses
particularly that of touch, are, ex.
tremely developed. and he goes by the
sobriquet of "L'Homme la Tete d.
Gre" He wears the military cross O.
honor, and delights to tell of what h.
has gone through during the war. II
add to his meagre pension he sells
pamphlet containing full description
of his wounds, and of the apparatu
that has been so skilfully devised a
to render him at least presentable t.
his felloW-creatures.

Mr.. BIaine's Pastor.


We regret to find a disposition in
some curriers' to drag the question of
Mr.. Blaine's religion into the cam
paign. 1t is nobody's business wheth-
er Mr.. Blaine was Catholic at any
period of his life, or whether he is
Catholic, Episcopalian. Presbyterian,
Methodist, Baptist. Unita rian, Con-
gregationalist, or Freethi mixer, like
his friend Bob Ingersoll, at the pres
ent time. In this country mans
religious belief is as free as the air he
breathes.
1t is foolish thing to attack can
didate for office on account of his
religion, because such assaults invari-
ably injure their author more than
the person against whom they are di-
rected. Nobody knows this better
than Mr.. Blaine. Time and again in
his political aspirations he has been
confronted with the notorious "Madi.
gan Circular" which he issued as
chairman of the republican state com.
mittee in order to beat Mr.. Madigan
a Maine democrat, for congress, anC
| in which the most bigoted assault
was made on Mr.. Madigan as a Catho
lie.

FROM TAYLOR.

Special Telegram to The Statesman.
TAYLOR TEXAS, July 5.-The glor-
ious fourth passed off pleasantly and
agreeable to all. The day was relig-
iously observed by the post office and
First Nation al Bank.
AT an early hour last evening, the
elite of the city, led by the Taylor
Silver Cornet Band coDgregated at
Beisangs beer garden, and until the
wee small hours the merry jewellers
enjoyed themselves eating, drinking,
dancing etc.
Several of our married citizens,
(whose wives and children are recreat-
ing for the summer in the cooler
regions of the North) were taking a
very prominent part in flirting and
dancing with the young ladies. Should
the dear absent ones find this out they
would return from a colder climate
so quick it would make those gay
CHANDELIERS think an iceberg had
struck their spinal columns.

Mr.. Allison presented conference
report on the legislative, executive
and Judicial appropriation bill.
The two houses agree on all except
three points, the most important be-
ing one relating to the reduction of
internal revenue and customs, and
collectors of customs. The senate
| further insisted on the remaining
amendment, and ordered Il new COLI
| ference.
| The question recurring on the inter-
state commerce bill, Mr.. Miller, of
Maryland, moved to postpone it till
| December next, stating that, while he
fully sympathIzed with the purposes
of the bill, it was manifest that it was
one of the most important measures
of the session, and could not properly
be discussed in the limited time now
at the disposal of the senate.
Mr.. Miiler'S motion was agreed to,
and the bill gees over accordingly.
Logan submitted the report of the
conference committee on the fortifica-
ton bill, to which the senate agreed.
The senate proceeded to the consid-
Grafton of the house bill to prohibit
the importation of foreigners under
contract, or agreement, to perform la
Dor in the United States. During the
reading of the report on the bill, the
senate went into executive session.
While still in executive session, recess
was taken until evening.
A number of roll calls were taken
without extricating the house from
its deadlock, and then recess was
taken until 3 o'clocd.
After recess, Mr.. Burns submitted
a conference report on the consular
and diplomatic appropriation bill of
1884. AS to the amendments placed
on the bill by the senate the confer
ence committee soon reached an agree
ment on all except three. One of
those is that for the appropriation of
$250OOO for the Nicaragua project.
The other two have reference to the
appointment of commission to as
certain the best modes of attaining
more intimate international and COM
mercial relations between the United |
States and the several countries of |
Central and South America. 'i'
Mr.. Washburn moved the house re.
cede from its disagreement to $25O,OOO |
amendment. Lost - yeas, 81; nays, |
90.
Mr.. Washburn moved recession
from the disagreement to the other |
matter in dispute. Agreed to-yeas,
Ill; nays. rs. This leaves the $25O,OOO |
clause the only point of difference.
Messrs. Burns, Townshend and Wash |
burn were appointed conferees.
The house took recess until 8 |
o'clock.
Mr.. Ranney, from the committee on
elections, submitted unanimous re-
port, confirming the right of Martin
McGinnis to seat as delegate from
Montana Territory. Agreed to.
With view to removing any i'm
pediment to the transaction of bust
ness, Mr.. Burns moved to postpone
further consideration OF the Mexican
pensions bill, until the second Tues
day in December. Lost. Yeas, SO;
nays, 1875.
The decision of the pIima facie
right of Skinner to seat as republi-
Can of the first district of North Car
Dina, postponed until the I'd Monday
in December. The house then pro-
ceeded to industriously kill time and
well in its object. The
Mexican pension bill was the pivot
on which the motion turned.

INDIAN TERRITORY.

FIT. SMITH, ARK, July 5.-The
Choctaw troubles, which originated
in the refusal of certain property
owners to pay the permit tax have
assumed a serious attitude. Miles
Hoyt, a prominent leader, has been
outlaWed and driven into the Cherokee
nation, where he has a gang of about
thirty men, mostly desperate charac-
tiers, who have rallied to his support
fifty followers. The Choctaw militia
men have beer called out, and the
Cherokee authorities asked to cooper
ate with the militia in effecting the
arrest of Hoytis gang. Warrants
have been issued for the arrest of
Hoyt for burning the Choctaw court,
house. A fight is daily expected.

Relations With Canada.

WASHINGTON. July 3.-Representa-
tive Belmont has been authorized, by
the house committee on foreign af-
fairs, to report The following .resolu-
ton, as substitute for representative
Maybury's joint resolution, directing
the president to open negotiations for
renewal of the Canadian reciprocity
treaty of 1854: That in the opinion
of the house, closer commercial rela-
ton with other states on the American
continent would be a mutual advan-
tage and should the executive see fit
reconsider the proposition for free
commerce with the dominion of Can
ada, such negotiations would be re-
ceiVed with favor.

Good Names to Select From.

was happy event, because he was
formerly a republican who had left

ton and ineficiency. If the demo-
cratic managers would name as vice
president such a man as Palmer.
Trumbull or Hoadley they would

should name for that place a leader of
the present anti-Blaine republicans,
they would do still better.
