thereupon wrote to the secretary of
war, giving the date and place of his
enlistment; the name of the recruiting
officer; the day he left for the front;
his place of rendezvous; the DAY he
joined the army, with many incidents
connected with his route. He then gave
the names of all the prominent COM
handing officers from Washington down
to his regiment. Also all the privates
in his regiment alphabetically. He
gave many incidents of interest con-
nected with his army life and his return
to his family, with dates, etc. "Now,
Mr.. Secretary" he said, " if this is not
enough to convince you that / served
in the army, I will give you the name,
and the color of every mans hair and
eyes in Washington's army" It's suf-
ficient to say that they gave him pen
sion as long as he lived, which was to
a good old age. 1 often heard of his
saying that if every copy of the Bible
was destroyed, he could re-write 1t word
for word. / remember when medical
student at West Randolph, Mr.. Herrick
came to the Office of my preceptor, DIR.
Edison, to settle an account of thirty-six
years standing. He had had but little
sickness in his family and his account
was mostly for pills and picra for him
self and salts or aloes for his horse,
with a dose of pink and SIENNA occa-
sionally for his children for worms.
Before the DR.. presented his account
Mr.. Herrick stated what he had had of
him with the exact date, the cost, and
whether it did any good or not, all from
recollection. On examination it ex-
actly agreed with the doctors book, ex-
cept whether it did any good or not.

No other complaints are so insidious in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs:
none so trihed with by the majority of suffer-
ers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting
perhaps from triiing or unconscious ex-
posture, is often but the beginning of fatal
sickness. AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL has
well proven its efficacy in forty years fight
with throat and lung diseases, and should be
taken in all cases without delay.

PAYMAsTER GENERAL SMITH.
The Writ or Prohibition Refused

To-day, in the Court In General Term, the
case Of the United States ex rel. ]. A. Smith
against the Secretary OF the Navy and the
members Of the Smith courtmartial-petitio
Tor writ Of prohibition to prevent that court
martial from further proceedings-was decided
and the writ refused.
Chief Justice Cartier delivered the unani-
nous opinion OF the court that they ought not
to supervene and interfere with this court
martial, notwithstanding the able argu-
ment made for the relator. This court
did not enter into the merits or dement's
of the case, for It found that 1t would be in ex.
cess OF its power to stretch forth its arm as
De glad to hear further argument. The Ques-
ton was whether it would supervene and ar
rest progress. The Supreme Court of the United
states has said this court had not the power.
While 1t could deal with the consequences and
enlarge prisoner suffering from the judgment
OF this extra judicial tribunal 1t could not stop
Its progress. The Supreme Court has SO de-
cided. 1t is true that the question is made
whether the alleged offense was committed as
military or civil one, but that IS not for this
court to decide. The statute makes the
bought by green grocer or general, and 1t may
be q violation Of military duty to buy cholera
stricken or trtchaneOus pork to put in the bellies
OF the sailors. The Supreme Court had looked
into the question and was in doubt as to what
TO call 1t-a military or civil offense. That
court was clear that this court has no appellate
Jurisdiction as to military courts-martial by
without this court assuming Jurisdiction.
The writ was denied. Mr.. Chandler gave no
t1ce of appeal and of his intention to apply for
q writ of error,
