SEVEN WISE MEN BAFFLED.

The n. Y. Morning Journal says that
Mrs. F. G. Kellogg, so E. 86th St., was
partially paralyzed, and lay for seven days
in convulsions. Physicians were engaged
and discharged until seven had failed to
help or cure her. She was unable to leave
her bed, and was as helpless as a child,
After using all sorts of salves, ointments,
lotions and plasters, her case was given up
as hopeless. She was induced to try ST.
Jacobs Oil as last chance. She began to
improve from the time the first application
was made, and by its continued use, she
has completely recovered.

which is that the ulcer is entirely healed up,
nothing remaining but q small scab, not
larger than ones finger nail, and her general
health is better than for five years past. She
seems to be perfectly cured.

Democratic Discourtesy.

Mr.. Boutells's maiden effort 10 Congress
WAS . bold and manly expression Of his
opinion upon subjects which came Up in
the House Monday. In the first place he
offered a resolution providing that the
Secretary Of War be requested to inform
the House whether 1t be true that for sew
sral years past the maps. diagrams. &c.
In the case Of Fiiz John Porter, had been
submitted 10 the members Of each gradua-
ting class Of the Military Academy for the
purpose Of inviting their criticism of the
proceedings Of officers Of general court
martial held In pursuance Of law and duly
approved by the Secretary Of War and the
Commander Chief; that II said report
be true the Secretary be requested to in
form tho House by whose authority or
instigation the minds Of these successive
graduating classes Of youths. educated at
the public expense for the military service
of the Government, were directed to the
study and the questioning of the official
action Of their superiors; and the Secre-
tary Is requested to inform the House
whether. In his opinion. the Indictment to
or expression OF such disregard Of the
highest military discipline. is calculated
10 foster the spirit Of INSTRUMENTATION,
and TO inspire among the officers them
selves demoralizing and dangerous
contempt for the authority OF law.
Objection was made by Porter's friends
and the resolve was withdrawn. After
this s. s. Cox introduced bill to abolish
the ''iron clad OATH" Mr.. Boutelle made
. vigorous speech against the bill. con-
tending that the oath should not be abol-
ished and that the distinction between
loyalty and treason should be maintained
always. He began to read some passages
from a Compendium" history of the
United STATES by the late Alexander II.
Stephens, In order to show how concilia-
tory acts have been met by the South,
when tho democratic side disliking this
part of his speech very much
raised an uproar and drowned his voice.
One thing the House learned, that Mr..
Boutelle Is not afraid to speak his senti-
monts though he be in small minority.
The democratic side may dislike his
thrusts at them. but they will learn to re-
spect his honesty and the courage with
which he maintains his convictions. They
will hear from him again before the ses-
sion closes. and next time he will receive
respectful attention.
