Facts About Rheumatism.

MIS- Gen. Sherman says: " l have frequently
purchased Durang's Rheumatic Remedy for
friends suffering with rheumatism, and in
every instance it worked like magic"
Gen. Logan, United States Senator, writes
"Some years ago was troubled more or less
with rheumatism, and have been a great suf-
ferer in the last year with same disease. l be-
gan to take Durang's Rheumatic Remedy, and
am satisfied that have been cured by its use
l recommend it to all sufferers"
Sam'l L. Felker, of Chicago, writes: There
are few cases of rheumatism here which, like
my own, the doctors pronounce incurable; but
as Durang's Rheumatic Remedy made such a
permanent cure in me, am determined to have
them give it fair trial, and if it fails l will
pay for the cost of the remedy. Inclosed find

Postponement of the Meeting of the Army Of Tie
Tennessee

To THE EDITOR: In view of the recent
severe storms and excessive cold in the city of
Chicago, and the probability of their recurrence
during the present season, by the urgent request
of many scores of comrades who have written
US upon the subject, the meeting of the Army
of the Tennessee, for the purpose of organiza-
ton. called to meet at Chicago, on Wednesday,
Dec 16, is postponed until the first Wednesday
of May, 1856, at the same city, when it is hoped
the wea$ier will be more genial than now, and
peasanter for comrades to visit Chicago, and at
the same time give the Transportation Com
mittee more time and better opportunity to
arrange with the railroad companies for reduc-
tion of fare. 1t is to be regretted that these
numerous requests for postponcment did not
reach us sooner.
We feel assured that the postponement to the
pleasant month of May viii insure a very large
attendance of the comrades of the old Army of
the Tennessee. In the meantime let US be in
dustrious and arrange all the preliminaries Incl
dent to organization.-JoHN w. Fry, Ashland,

ROYAL and PrincelY ReYenues.

Queen Victoria has great financial advan-
tage over her heir-apparent in the circumstance
that, whether times are good or bad, her
Majesty's snug little revenue of over $1,000 a
week is paid just the same, while it is well
known that the Prince has for years past been
obliged to make heavy abatements in his Duchy
of Cornwall property-not SO much, perhaps,
in the Duchy proper as in its outlying estates in
other Counties. His allowance from Parliament
of 100000 year is just what the Queen re-
ceives from her Duchy of Lancaster as little
extra pocket money, in addition to her f1 900
a day. The Prince, moreover, has no country
seat kept up for him, while the Queen has half
a dozen besides her own houses.

LETTER FROM NEW YORK.

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette
NEW YORK, July eff the average New
York boy can get a day at Coney Island he
is in Paradise. Not ut Manhattan Beach,
unless he is old enough to be insulted if you
call him boy, and is, besides, ''dude;" n OF
at Brighton, unless he is tied to mammals
apron strings, or afraid to leave papa's side
for fear of being lost but at West Brighton
there he finds every thing in which his
soul delghts-merry-go- rounds, free Eth
opian concerts, ice cream, roller skating
Kinks, round and round professions of all
known and some unknown animals, upon
one of which he can ride for FIVE cents, to
lively music; cheap lunch, dip into the
surf, and all manner of ways of getting rid
Of whatever superfluous cash he may pos
sess. Then there is the elephant house,
just like Jumbo, only bigger, into which he
may ascend for ten cents and see glass
blowers and other sights free. 1t costs but
forty cents to 90 and come, and for that
sum seldom is so much enjoyment for boy
compressed into so small space. The girls,
too, seem to enjoy it as much as the boys,
and tho little children fairly scream with
delight as they fly round strapped upon the
back of a giraffe or tiger-newly painted
and si!ded. 70 grown up people, too, it is
not without It's pleasures. The cool sea
breeze, the fine music and elegant fireworks
at Manhattan, the pin makers, &c., at
Brighton, tho electric railroad and a null
titude OF other attractions, amuse tho
wearied toiler from books, shop, or counting
room and give him new life for the work
Of TO morrow. There are hundreds of water
ing places along all our coasts, but there is
only one Coney Island, and that must be
seen to be appreciated. FIDELIs.

A HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.-Paris is excited
over horrible boulevard tragedy, just re-
ported by the police. The architect Gau;i-
ray, although married and having children,
maintained liaison with Nine. Bcssier,
the wife of shopkeeper on the Boulevard
Voltaire, and who had an amiable husband
and dutiful daughters. The lovers quar-
relied, and yesterday during the shopkeep
er's absence from his place Of business,
Caudray called upon Nine. Besser, and
with pistol shot her dead. He then ended
his own life by putting bullet through his
heart. NJ Bessier soon afterwards returned
to his shop and stumbled over the dead.
He had never believed the stories he had
heard of his wife's intidelity, and the reve-
lation came upon him so suddenly that his
mind broke down, and he fed from the
scene Il raving maniac, yelling his shame up
and dowu the Boulevard Voltaire. When
the policemen overpowered him he made
them understand. and the corpses were
taken away from the shop. No living per-
son knows why the suicide killed his mis-
tress 1t is thought that M. Bessier will
never recover his sanity.

BAY CITY, Mich, July 10.-The strike
among lumber mill employees in this city
showed very little change last night. What
change there was, was in favor of the strik.
ers. Two meetings were held yesterday at
Madison Park and addressed by State Rep
resentatve Barry of Saginaw. At the after
noon meeting Mr.. Green, of the firm of
Green and Stevens, addressed the strikers
saying he would give $500 to aid the strikers
and also accede 10 their demand for 10
hours work with no reduction in pay. Four
other mills ara reported as ready to yield to
the strikers. Chief of Police Murphy was
hung in ef1igy in south Bay City for striking
man under arrest Tuesday. Most Of the
saloons remained open yesterday in defiance
Of the Mayors proclamation. The police
commissioners and mill men held meeting
yesterday, the mill men demanding protec-
ton, hut nothing definite was decided On.
Later in The day the strikers paraded the
principal streets with banners and flags
saying they had succeeded and would get
all they demanded. Three hundred strik.
ers leave here to day for East Saginaw to
