The Comte de Herisson relates that
on one occasion during the negotia.
tions following the Franco-Germa
war of 1870 Bismarck offered jules
Favre a cigar, which was declined.
Then said Bismarck: "By not smoking
you have one advantage over me; YOU
are more vigilant. But then you have
this disadvantage; you are more ir-
ritable. A diplomat must be ready to
make concessions, and tobacco makes
one feel happier, and, thereby, more
concillatory."
NINE. SCHALcHI is not enamored of
the English language. She is reported
to have called it 'dcvilish;" but she
still labors, with amusing results, to
learn enough to add a ballad or two
to her repertoire. She is now ready to
risk Sullivan's ''Lost Chord with
what is described as pretty, broken
accent that is irresistible. She spent
many hours last season in trying to
pronounce the words of this famous
piece. and was only successful after
they had been written out for her in
Italian fashion.

sedentary habits, mental worry, nervous
excitement, excess or imprudence In eat
ing or drinking, and various other causes,
induce Constipation followed by general
arrangement of the liver, kidneys, and

organ increases the inflrmity of the others.
The immediate results are Loss of Appe-
lite, Nausea, Foul Breath, Heartburn, Flat
ulence, Dizziness, Sick Headaches, failure
of physical and mental vigor, distressing
sense Of weight and fullness In the stomach,
and increased Costiveness, all of which are
known under one head rs Dyspepsia.
In every instance where this disease does
not originate from scrofulous faint In the

relied upon TO effect cure. Those cases

m, m. I,,g,ya..


AS my name has been freely used In your
paper for the past two days, aud as the reports
do not show how came to be mixed up In the
matter at issue in the meetings OF the Presby-
terry of Washington and rs have had numer.
GUS inquiries from friends about the matter,
request you TO print this statement.
little more than month ago l received n
letter from the secretary of the Presbyterian
Board of Education, in Philadelphia, asking
some questions concerning four young men
who entered the theological department in
September, 1881, under the watch and care of
Rev. j. g. Craighcad, d. D., who was Il father
to them during the three years following. AS
students of the theological department arc
charged less amount for dormltory expenses
than other students, and rs II seemed that
there was disagreement among those inter
ested as to what the true relation had been,
and as all Of tho information desired by the
board In tho letter to me could not be fur
| nished in full without reference TO tho treas.
urer's books as basis, replied fully and
| frankly, and suppose my letter has been sent
| to the Presbytery, which was perfectly proper.
l have copy of II, and do not see any reason
| for wishing that had not written II.
/ am not member of the Presbytery, and
am not aware that have any question at issue
| with that body
am not party to the question at issue be-
tween the Presbytery and the board of educa-
| ton, about which we have heard through
| your columns, nor have l been party to It.
II is none of my business how the board OF
education spends Its money but biten receive
letters from donors inquirlng about students,
and always reply. have on my desk at this
moment a letter from distant city inquiring
about u student aided by the writer.
do not propose 10 discuss before the public
| the efforts of q member of that body to lnjure
me, as shown In tho proceedings, nor TO raise
the question why supposed friend should
| thus prove an enemy. Yours very truly,

DISCHARGED For DISABILITY.

sergt. Biorderbeck Obliged 20 Leave
the Service on Account OF sufFerings
Resulting from His Arctic Trip.
Sergt. Henry Bierdorbeck, signal corps,
who was hospital steward Of tho Lady
Franklin Bay expedition under Maj. A.
w. Greedy. was discharged tho service
yesterday morning on surgeons certiH-
cato Of disability. He was seen during
the day by reporter Of THE REPUBLI.
CAN, to whom he explained that he has
been, and is still, suffering greatly from
rheumatism, and has been on the sick
list 80 long. excused from day to day by
DIR. Harley, that he was obliged to ask
for his discharge. His hands arc fright
fully crippled, and he said that he needs
change Of climate very much, as the re-
cont sudden changes here have made his
sufferings very great. He says that he
wanted furlough, but that was refused
him, although In over five ears Of service
he never had one granted him. Being
asked as to his future plans, he said he
had thought of lecturing on his expert
ences IN the Arctic, but he fears that his
accent will interfere with his success on
tho platform, and he daros not 40 to Cor
many, whore his story would be we'll
received, because Of his leaving his mother
country without having rendered the
usual term of military service required.
Before his discharge, he said, he was un-
able to talk Of matters pertaining TO his
service in tho north, and no and his COM
rades feel little soro at Mai. Greedy In
that all Of the credit for all that was done
In the far north, whether Of action or sac.
rifle, Ia assumed now by him, and nothing
has been heard OF tho mon except Incl.
dentally. "In the later months before
the rescue Maj. Greedy became so much
weakened that no exercised little or n,
control or actual command over us,
Bierderbeck said, but would frequently
remark that he was too weak 20 attent
to matters, aud he would rely on thoii
judgment. Some folks have said, hear,
he continued, that Maj. Greedy was no
bravo man. but that's DID lie, ant
Brainerd and Long ana Connoll and al
will say 80, He braved oil that any OF u
did, but he was too weak at the last +
work, and before that II wasn't his bust
ness to work. He is good man and
mighty cute one"
His object in going on tho lecture plat
form, he says, is to tell the story Of thoi
achievements and sufierings to the coun
try. II could not say anything before
but to-day l am FREQ to tell oil know.
He would not explain further what hi
meaning was, except that he thought tn
men entitled to credit as we'll as thei
officers. He spoke of Lieut.. Lockwood

Ayers Pills

Never fail to relieve the bowels and pro-
mote their healthful and regular action,
and thus cure Dyspepsia. Temporary
palliatiyes all do permanent harm. The
iitful activity into which the enfeebled
stomach Is spurred by "biiters." and alco-
holic stimulants, Is inevitably followed
by reaction that leaves the organ weaker
than before.

The Swain Court.ilartlaI,

When the Swain court convened yesterday
Mr.. Talmadge, on cross.examination, was
asked the value of tho claims turned over to
tho firm of Talmadgo & Co. by Mr.. DAutrui
in pursuance of the agreement presented In
court Tuesday, Thlsquestion was met with an
objection by the prosecution, the discussion of
which occupied some time. The court over
ruled tho objection, and the witness replied to
tho question that the value of the claims turned
over TO his firm by ID Autrui was about $3.50 900.
Judge Wilson then questioned tho witness as
to the character of the claims and their final
value, but the Judge advocate objected at every
point, A letter from witness TO D'Autrui was
introduced, In which Mr.. Talmadge, speaking
of tho security given by DAutrui to Bateman,
says that the former made mistake in inClud-
ing his (Talmadge's) name with that of Taylor
in the Endorsement of the security because
that would bind both (Talmadge and Taylor,
and he likewise informs D'Autrui that Mr.
Taylor has told him that his (D'Autruis) in.
terest in these claims will amount TO more
than $4,000.
Judge Shellabargor asked the judge advocate
for subpoena duces teoum on Bateman to
produce the letter of DeAkers In resigning
from the employment of Bateman & Co. The
judge advocate agreed to issue the subpoena,
but objected TO n further move on the part OF
the defense to have copy Of the letter read
in the court without It's being first Identified
by some witness.
McDonald d, Swaim's chief CLERK, was recalled
and asked to stute what information, IL any,
he gave Gen, Swain concerning the alleged
requirement by Bateman that DeAkers, the
operator in their Office, should post false quota
tons OF stock on the bulletin board. This
question was objected TO by the Judge advo-
cate, and Judge Shellabarger commenced an
argument which was not concluded when the
court adjourned.

THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS
Opposing the Cable Csrs-Other Ac-
tion by the Triumvirate.

tion by the Triumvirate.
"Tho routes named in tho bill" theDis-
trict commissioners write tho house dis
triot committee in response to a request
for their Views on tho cable railroad
scheme, cover about twelve miles OF
streets, Of which oil, except small pot'
ton, have been handsomely paved at
great expense. The pavement which
would be torn up on these routes will az.
gregate for double tracks, about 10000
square yards, which have cost the District
over 100000, all advantages of which
will become lost TO tho general public
when these parts Of tho streets shall be
surrendered to the railroad company.
There are no petitions as evidence Of any
kind showing q desire by tho public for
these roads, while on tho contrary 10 is
quite certain that the owners OF property
on large part Of the routes will protest
most vigorously against the project; in
been presented.
at is the opinion Of tho commissioners
that no authority to occupy these streets
as proposed should be given until IL is
clearly shown that tho public interests
demand IL, and when that Is shown 10
should be dono under such conditions as
will best serve that interest and at the
same time do the least possible damage
to private interests along tho routes by
compelling tho construction Of the least
Objectionable kinds Of street railways
such would not include horse car roads as
heretofore constructed, nor would the
purpose above indicated be accomplished
by tho bill in question.

recommend that the bill do not pass"
