situation that would strike an ambit'
ious aggressive politician as n favorable
base. 1t it is more like the home OF
a refinel ascetic who would get away
from the world.
This however is not the time to spec
ulate about the Presidential aspirations
of any one. All eyes at present are
directed to Virginia, New York, and
Ohio, where the elections will go far
to decide whether we are to have a re-
form Senate during the present admin
istration.
The Senate of the Forty Ninth Con
gress will contain forty-two Republi-
cans and thirty-four Democrats, that
is republican is elected or appointed
from Oregon. This will leave the
Republicans a majority of eight. To
overcome this majority the Democrats
will have to hold their present number
and gain four additional Senators; this
would make a tie, but with the casting
vote of Vice President Hendricks party
measures could be carried through.

Refusing the Mails.
THE PACIFIC COMPANY TURN BACK THE
SOUTH AMERICAN PACKAGES.

The difficulty between the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company and the
Washington Postofiice authorities cul-
minated in the absolute refusal by the
company to carry the mails for Central
and South American ports, excepting
those for Mexico and Costa Rica, from
which countries the Pacific Mail re.
ceives subsidies The refusal was
brought about by Postmaster Backus
sending the mail, consisting of twenty.
five bags, to the company's office in
charge of clerk, who had been in
structed to proceed aboard the steamer
Colima with the mail as baggage.
This action was taken by direction of
the Postmaster General, but the com
pany's officers, knowing the contents
of the bags. declined TO receive them
as baggage unless they were separately
checked and the passage of the agent
paid to each point Of debarkation.
Subsequently the refused mail was
sent overland to New York and New
Orleans, whence it will be forwarded
10 its destinations.
This action on the part of the
steamship companies is said to be in
tended to force the Postmaster Gen
eral to make distribution of the S4OO,
900 appropriated by Congress.

One of the Salem Martyrs.
UNWILLING A MONUMENT TO REBECCA
NURSE, WHO WAS HANGED
AS A WITCH.

Rebecca Nurse was hanged as a
witch in Salem Village, now Danvers,
Mass, on July 80, 1862. Not one of
the descendants of any one of her ac.
cusers or of the witnesses against her
can be found in Salem. They are
scattered all over the country, and ma
ny are in misfortune. The Nurse fam.
lily, descendants of Rebecca. are nu-
merous, prosperous, and on July 30th
they held their third annual reunion,
and in appropriate ceremonies 400 of
them took part in the dedication of a
monument to her memory over the
grave containing her remains, which
were rescued in the dark from the cleft
in the ledge where they were thrown
by order of the authorities
The charge against her was that she
had bewitched the children of the Rev.
Mr.. Paris, pastor of the church of
which she was member and she was
brought into the church with clankng
chains to hear the terrible curse con-
tanned in the sentence of excominuni-
cation. She then declared that God
would prove her innocence, and the
ceremonies in her honor took place in
the same church, and the principal ad-
dress was made by its pastor, the Rev.
G. B. Rice, while the Rev. Fielder Is
rael of the First Church in Salem,
which the martyr first joined after her
early conversion, delivered a eulogy,
and the Rev. G. Sperry of the Old
South Church offered prayer. A lunch
was provided at the close of the ccre-
monies, after which a procession was
formed, and marched to the buryipg
ground on the old Nurse homestead,
where the monument had been erected.
Mr. w. p. Upham, member of the
the Monument Committee, unveiled ii.
The Hon, Benjamin Nurse of Boston,
President of the Nurse Association, ac.
cepted the monument. The structure
is granite shaft, 81 feet ip height,
and is on grassy mound 25 feet 10
height. The base is of Rockport
stone, with a die of polished granite.
The front bears this inscription.

Another Rip Van Wrinkle has been
discovered in the person of Charles S.
Kinsley of Mansfield, this state, says
an exchange, and the discovery fur.
nishes the foundation for tale as en-
tertaining as lrying's story of Rip
Van Wrinkle. Kinsley was soldier
in the late civil war, and was so badly
wounded about the head that his skull
had to be held together by means of
silver plates. Soon after these plates
were adjusted, about twenty years ago,
he became insane and was placed in an
asylum at Washington. A few days
ago it was discovered that one of the
plates was pressing against his brain,
and 1t was at once removed, where
upon reason began TO return, and the
veteran soon became perfectly sane.
But the twenty years during which
that piece of silver was pressing
his brain had been plucked from his
life, SO TO speak. He has no recol-
lection of anything that has occurred in
that time. The war to him is a thing
OF to-day, and he is bewildered by the
changes he finds as old Rip was when
he returned to bis home in the Cats.
kills after his twenty years nap. But
Kinsley is better off than Rip was, for
while he has been asleep time has gone
on making fortune for him. The
back pension TO which he is now en-
titled amounts to nearly $5O,0OO and
in addition to this he is entitled TO
S75 month as long as he lives.

Assab, a very small town on bay
at the Southern extremity of the Red

the world. Alden, a hundred miles
further E,st, has terrible reputation
for heat, but Assab is said to be hotter
by some 80. For four consecutive
months thermometer readings at a.

Lord Uoleridge Makes Sensation.

LONDON, Aug. 2.--The latest society
sensation in London is caused by tho
announcement that Lord Chief Justice
Coleridge is about to marry an Ameri-
can lady, whom he first met on the
steamer on which he returned from
the United States three years ago, and
who threatened to bring an action for
breach of promise if he did not marry
her. Society is very much agitated
over the approaching event. His

A sRILEnl SURGICAL OPERATOR.

The American Ambassador at Vienna,
Mr.. kasson, has lately forwarded TO his
Government an interesting account of a
remarkable surgical operation lately
performed by Professor Billroth, of
Vienna. which, wonderful TO tell, con-
sisted in the removal Of portion
Of the human stomach, involving
nearly one.third of the organ-and,
strange TO say, the patient recovered
the only successful operation Of the
kind ever performed. The disease for
which this operation was performed
was GAMER Of the stomach, attended with
the following symptoms The appetite
is quite poor There is peculiar indies
cribablc distress in the stomach, n icel-
ing that has been described as a faint
"aU .gonc" sensations; u sticky slime col
lects about the teeth, especially III the
morning, accompanied by an unpleasant
taste Food fails to satisfy this peculiar
faint sensation; but, on the contrary, it
appears 10 aggrayate the feeling. The
eyes are sunkeR, tinged with yellow; the
hands and feet become cold and sticky
cold Precipitation. The sufferers feel
tired ali the time, and sleep does not
seem to give rest. After timc the pa.
tient becomes nervous and irritable,
gloomy, his mind filed with evil fore.
bodings. When rising suddenly from
a recumbent position there is dizziness,
a whislling sensation, and he is obliged
10 grasp something firm 20 keep from
falling. The bowels costive, the skin
dry and hot at times; the blood becom-
ing thick and stagnaut, and does not
circulate properly. After q time the
patient splits up food soon after eating,
sometimes in q sour and fermented con-
dition, sometimes sweetish TO the taste.
Oftentimes there is a palpitation of the
heart, and the patient fears he may have
heart disease. Towards the last the
patient is unable TO retain any food
whatever, as the opening in the mites.
tines becomes closed, or nearly so. AL
though this disease is indeed alarming,
sufferers with Ike above named symp-
toms should not feel nervous; for nine
hundred and ninety-niIe cases out of Il
thousand have no cancer, but simply
dyspepsia, q disease easily removed if
treated in 4 proper manner. The safest
and best remedy for the disease is
Scigel's Curative Syrup, a vegetable pre-
paiation sold by all chemists and medi-
cine vendors throughout the world and
by the propyietors, \. j. White (Limit-
ed), H. Farringdon-road, London, e. c..
This Syrup strikes at the very founda-
ton OF the disease, and drives itsroot
aad branch, out of the system.
