OUR INEFFICIENT CoNsULS.

MT. Bayard is complaining that the con- suls who represent the United States abroad are poor set whose conduct is not unfre- quently embarrassing rather than an aid in the work of the State department. The Bos- ton Advertiser tells MT. Bayard why he is having so much trouble with the consuls It says: The narrow and mischievous parsi- mony of statesmen of the Randall and Hol- man type is largely responsible for present conditions. They have consistently and wig orously pared down all estimates of the con- been excessive; indeed, the service more than pays it's expenses; but the consuls were few in number and good way off, and it was easy in their case to indulge in mean ness which would enable them to boast of their economy on the stump. These condi- tions MT. Bayard has aggravated. Upon coming to power he promptly discharged a large number of capable consuls, solely be- cause they were Republicans when at home, and put in their places a selection of Demo- crats, some of these quite unfit, and, of course, with scarcely an exception, they were inexperienced, and had to serve an appren- ticeship.
 When this country learns that it pays to have competent men represent it in other countries progress will have been made. Mir. Blaine once said and said truly: No man should be appointed to an American consu- late who is not well instructed in the history and resources of his own country and in the requirements and language of commerce in the country to which he is sent. The same rule should be applied even more rigidly to secretaries of legation in our diplomatic ser vice. The people have the right to the most efficient agents in the discharge of public business, and the appointing power should regard this as the prior and ulterior consid-

THEY WERE ALL WRONG.
Surgeons Agree on a False Diag- nosis-They Operate Acording- ly-And Kill the Patient
 Was it Science or Crime?

THE Czevezamd (Ohio} Press, of February 23d, 1883, published an account of fatal surgical operation which caused a great commotion among medical men throughout the whole country, Dr. Thayer, the most eminent surgeon in Cleveland, pronounc- ing it scandal lous. It appears that Mrs. King had been suf- fering for many years from some disease of the stomach, which had resisted the treatment of all the physicians in attendance. The disease commenced with a slight Arrangement of the digestion, with poor appetite, followed by a peculiar ,indescribable distress in the stomach, a feeling that has been described as a faint "all gone" sensation, a sticky slime collecting about the teeth, caus- ing a disagreeable taste. This sensation was not removed by food, but, on the contrary, it was increased. After a while the hands and feet became cold and sticky-a cold precipitation. There was a constant tired and languid feeling. Then followed a dreadful nervousness, with gloomy forebodings. Finally the patient was unable to retain any food whatever, and there was constant pain in the abdomen. All prescribed remedies failing to give relief, a consultation was held, when it was decided that the patient had a cancer in the stomach, and in order to save the patients life an operation was justifable. Accordingly, on the 22d of February, 1883, the ope- ration was performed. by Dr. Vance in the presence of Dr. Tuckerman, pr. Perrier, Dr. Arms, Dr. Gordon, Dr. Capner, and pr. Halliwell of the Police Board. The operation consisted in laying open the cavity of the abdomen and exposing the stom- ach and bowels. When this had been done an examination of the organs was made, but to the hor- TOT and dismay of the doctors there was no cancer to be found. The patient did not have a can- cer. When. too late the medical men discovered that they had made a terrible mistake; but they sewed the parts together and dressed the wound that they had made, but the poor woman sank from exhaustion and died in a few hours. How sad it must be for the husband of this poor woman to know that his wife died from the effects of surgical operatioo that ought never to have been performed. If this woman had taken the proper remedy for Dyspepsia and Nervous Prostration (for this was what the disease really was), she would have been living to-day. SEIGEL's CURATIVE SYRUP, or SHAKER EXTRACT OF RooTs, a remedy made expressly for Dys- pepsia or Indigestion, has re- stored many such cases to per feet health after all other kinds of treatment have failed. The evidence of its efficacy in curing this class of cases is too volumin- ous to be published here; but those who read the published evidence in favor of this dyspep- tic remedy do not question it's convincing nature, and the arti- cle has an extensive sale.

Women on an average have little sense of justice and hardly any sense whatever of awarding to others freedom for which they do not care themselves. The course of all modern legislation is it's tendency to make bylaws, fretting and vexatious laws trench ing unjustifably on the personal liberty of the individual.

Mount Vernon was named in honor of Ad-
miral Vernon, under whom its founder,
Laurence Washington, served in the British
navy. 1t was built in l743, is in Fairfax
county, Va, located on the right bank of
the Potomac, seventeen miles south of
Washington. The house, or mansion, as it
was originally called is two stories high
md contains six rooms OF moderate size on
the ground floor The picture represents it
as seen from the river.
Gen. Washington bequeathed Mount Ver-
non to Bushrod Washington. At Bushrod's
death it passed into the hands of his nephew,
John A Washington, who, in 1853, sold it
to the Ladies' Mount Vernon as ociation for
$780, 600, Edward Everett contributing over

How Composite Photographs are Made.
No other American has been so often
subject for the painters brush as George
Washington. Artists and sculptors, native
and foreign, have expended their skill upon
him with results which refuse to agree.
Each picture and bust represents a different
man in looks and character. No two re-
semble each other. But for the fact
that they are labeled "Washington," il
would be impossible to guess who ths
original had been.
Over three hundred portraits busts and
statues of the great Pater Patrlm by paint
ers and sculptors who were distinguished in
their day are in existence. They depict their
immortal subject in as many different
guises. Sometimes they make him noble
Roman, with nose that equals the bravest

entertained his political friends. Among the
pictures on its walls was small portrait of
himself, on the lack Of which some one un-
known, presumably an English gentleman,
wrote the following noble tribute, perfect
epitome of the character of the great
patriot:
"Washington-the defender of his countryside
founder of llberty-the friend of man. History and
tradition are explored in vain for parallel to his
character. In the annals of modern greatness he
stands alone and the noblest names of antiquity
lose their luster in his presence Born the benefactor
of mankind, he united all the qualities necessary 10
illustrious career Nature made him great; he
made himself viruous Called by his country to the
defense of her liberties he trumphantly vindcated
the rights of humanity and the pillars of national
independence laid the foundations of great repub
lie. Twice invested with supreme magistracy by the
unanimous voice of free people, he surpassed in the
cabinet the glories of the field and voluntarily re-
signing the scepter and the sword, retired to the
shades OF private life. A spectacle SO new and so
sublime contemplated with the profoundest ad
miraton, and the name Of Washington adding new
luster to humanity resounded TO the reInotest
glons OF the earth, Magnanmous In youth, glorious
through life great In DEATH his highest ambition the
happiness of mankind; his noblest victory the con.

vert to the state of Virginia The tomb is
few hundred yards from the house, near
small wooded ravine. The picture represents
the entrance. The body of Washington was
removed thther from the old family vault in
1881 A plain and poor structure, indeed, is
the tomb where rests the mortal part Of
the great patriot. It's front is rough, and
has a plain iron door inserted in stone
easement. Over the door, on a stone panel,
is craven these words: ~ am the Resurrec-

tomb. It's iron gateway extends several
feet in front of the vault door, over which,
