A New Orleans doctor calls attention to
a very simple fact, which merits attention
from medicine takers. If the medicine is
mixed with very cold water and few
swallows of the water be taken as pre-
paratory dose, the nerves of the organ of
taste become sufficiently benumbed to
make the medicine nearly tasteless. This
method will not disguise bitter tastes, but
acts we'll in oils and salines.

THE CRAWFORD CASE.
The Missing Clerk OF Bland Not Yet Found
Mystery.

On Saturday telegram was received
here from Wytheville stating that Mr..
w. II. Crawford, the missing clerk OF
Bland county, had been to Georgia and
was OIL his way to Richmond. That in
formation is not confirmed. Mr.. Craw-
ford has not been to Richmond; his
whereabouts are unknown, and the fol-
lowing received by the Dispatch yes
terday shows that his fate is involved
in mystery:
WYTHEvILLE, VA, Jan. 81, 1885.
A travelling employe of the Southern
Express Company from Georgia was
here yesterday, and reported the death
at Atlanta of the young man answering
the description. and supposed to be
Crawford. He registered from Rome,
Ga. and died in a hotel. Forty-iiye
dollars were found on the body, but no
papers establishing identity. The de-
scription is very good-medium height,
slight build, crippled in one leg, and
using crutch.
No one knew him there. He was
buried in the City cemetery.
A CONFLICTING STATEMENT.
The following was received at this Of
flee last night in response to telegram
for information
ATLANTA, GA, January 21.-Tht
undertakers say no such man as you de
scribe has died here. One Of Crawford
cousins was here from Baltimore few
DAYS ago. and said he believed Craw
ford had been killed.

Postmaster-General having stated to a
well-known gentleman Of this city that
the present Administration did not mean
to be parties to any proceedings that
would cut President Cleveland out of
the patronage rightfully belonging to
him, it is thought quite possible that the
Washington authorities may be pleased
to let the Richmond Office go on in its
present condition. 1t would seem it
might be safely done.
There is so little to profit the Repub-
licans by accepting DR.. Gilmer's resig-

may conclude to let the Office run as at
present.
If they are heartily in earnest in their
ayowals that they will do nothing to in

The lawyers chambers over the
Merchants National Bank have been
completed, and are now ready for occu-
pancy. This improvement embraces a
general remodelling Of the two upper
stories of the building, which is one oil
the best examples of the utilization OF
light and space we have seen. There
is not a room on either floor that is not
desirable. Each room is finished in
hard wood, and is supplied with a
handsome gilded heater and q sta
tionary washstand. The covered court
is also heated with steam or hot air, rem
dering 1t as comfortable as any one Of the
rooms. The Chamber Of Commerce oc-
cupies the upper floor Of the main build
ing, and already several Of the suits OF
rooms have been taken by members OF
the legal fraternity. For convenience
comfort. and quiet, and the uses for
which they were designed, these cham
bers cannot be excelled. Mr.. ii. Seldom
Taylor is the agent for them.

An Old.Tine Dogs Track

Mr.. Joseph j. English. of this city,
has in his possession brick bearing
the footprints of a dog-foOtprints that
were made over hundred years ago.
1t was picked up on the farm of Mr..
Abner c. Nuckols, in Goochland coun-
ty. from the dsbriS of kiln which is
known to have been burnt at least a
century ago. The dog probably trod
upon the brick while it was on the dry
ing yard. Afterwards it was put in
the kiln and burnt, but not hard, and
was rejected by the builders and left in
the field to reappear as curiosity after
these many years.

Fngiand's Trouble.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
The cause Of an oppressed people, so
ably defended by Charles Stewart Par
nell. will be set back a considerable
number of years owing to the recent
disaster at London. Let the enemies Of
ireland strike, but hear Every great
cause has, so to speak, certain Incidents
which either retard or promote its sue
cess. Irishmen are not responsible for
the great crime just perpetrated, which
is as odious to them as il Is TO other
people. Nor should they be blamed
any more than we should have been
blamed for the mad exploit Of Wilkes
Booth. Let us reason together. "The
present profession Of Nihiiism is TO stop
at the halfway house Of No-Govern-
ment." but we are sure il cannot halt
and encamp in such quarters. Society
will work out erroneous doctrines 70
these logical consequences and detect
error only by the experience Of mischief.
1t is a strange world in which we live.
Society appears TO acquire progress by
a warfare between good and an evil
principle. IL is hard TO understand
how France could be republic to-day
unless she had previously 'got drunk
with blood to vomit crime" II is still
harder to understand how Nihilism will
expire so long as Russia refuses to ac-
cord to her people their natural and in-
alienable rights. These are grave pro-
blems, which the experience Of mischief
will work out ultimately to the pre-.
seryation Of society. The first step to-
wards crushing out Nihilism in Eng
land and America will be suggested by
the monstrous crime just perpetrated.
A remedy will be found for palpa-
bic defect in the international law Of
these two nations. England must sur
render the American fugitires from JUS
tice who find asylum in her dominions,
and the United States must respect the
international writ which charges her
foreign-born citizens with crimes COM
mitted against the peace and dignity Of
society. How else shall conspirators
like 0'Donovan Rossa, et u omae genus,
be brought to account for crimes the
bare mention of which shocks the sensi-
bilities of even the most deprsved ns-
turesg Z. NJ. w.

Brauer-Bntley.

Yesterday afternoon UniOn-Station
Methodist church was filled to the ut
most with the friends and acqlaint-
ances of Mr.. Charles f. Brauer and
Miss Eta Bailey, drawn out by reason
of the interest felt in their marriage.
The ceremony was performed by the
pastor of the church, Rev. Mr.. Cheat
ham, and the candidates for happiness
were the recipients of many fiatterlnG
comments. After the marriage Mr..
and Mrs. Brauer left for ten-days'
bridal tour North, and in leaving were
attended by showers Of congratulations
of the warmest kind. Some estimate
of the popularity of the married ones
could have been gathered from the hand
some character and varied number OF
the bridal presents that were received
by them.

ooked TO the calling in Of four archi-
tects and three builders to take hand
in telling the City Engineer and the
Committee on Grounds and Buildings
what plan for City Hall was best.
Mr.. Williams said that the commit
tee and the City Engineer knew as well
AZ any architect what to do. He
gravely rebuked the attempt to put IN
the hands Of irresponsible parties the
responsibility Of making selection.
The committee and the Engineer were
responsible to the people; the other
parties were not. The committee were
not now responsible for the failure Of
the scheme to build the hall. The
Board could do as it pleased, but Dir.
Williams did not think the policy cor
rect.
Mr.. Glasgow thought Mr.. Crump's
idea void Of practical effect. Archi-
tects and builders were not willing to
work for nothing. Colonel Cutshaw's
opinion was more to be valued than any
opinion from outside and disinterested
sources.
Mr.. Crump's resolution was lost.

consideration Of the vote by which the
report of the Committee On Grounds

suit about the premiums for plans. lie
wanted the legal aspects referred to the
City Attorney.
Mr.. Williams told Mr.. Burwell that
the City Attorney had advised with the
committee in all its action.
Mr.. Taylor made two motions to ad.
iourn, saying when he arose the second
time that he had been "chiselled out y
of his first one, but, Notwithstanding
Mr.. Taylor did not withdraw his mo.
ton, Mr.. Glasgow allowed further dis
cussion of business, and the vote on
the reconsideration was put and lost.
