"King Consumption, said New
York physician of reputation lately,
"who has put so many in decline, is at
last on decline himself in this city. He
has not lightened his hold npon those
upon whom he has once fastened, but
the number of his victims is steadily di.
minishing. The progress Of the disease,
after it is once seated, is pronounced by
physicians to be moro rapid than it was
'@hen this generation was young, and
there is much more rapid transit from its
inception to its elimination. A score of
years ago persons suffering from hacking,
wasting coughs for many years were
common, but now the disease generally
does its work in briefcr period, usually
in two or three years. Consumption has
done moro to enrich Guack medicine
manufacturers than all other diseases
combined"

King Otto of Bavaria, successor to the
late King Ludwig, resides, or is kept
rather, in the Chateau of Fmstenried,
about one hours ride from Munich. The
castle is wholly isolated and situated in
the heart of the forest. 1t was a convent
in the thirteenth century, and was pur-
chased by King Louis l. The garden
and park are traversed by grand ave
nue. shaded by elms and surrounded by
a high wall. The guards and servants
are stationed in little houses. Patrols
of honor are posted at the entrance to
the castle since Otto's elevation to the
throne. The King has lucid moments,
and then he devotes himself mainly to
reading the newspapers. Bat these
moments are of brief duration. He
smokes cigarettes necessarily, and often
takes promenade. The mad monarch
sometimes takes notion to visit the
imperial family of Austria to which, in
his sane moments, he appears very de
voted. He spends whole hours in pick
ing berries and making them into little
pyramids in the park. An alienist
physician in black coat and white cravat
always walks a certain distance behind
him. and he is followed in turn by three
oendafnes.

Bathers' cramp is made the subject of
an article in the Popular Science Ners.
The conclusion is reached that although
the intimate nature of muscular cramps
and the precise mode in which they are
established are still unknown, sufficient
data on the subject enables us to recog-
nize the chief conditions of their causa-
tion, which are as follows: A peculiar
individual susceptibility; the shock of
cold applied to the general surface of the
body; prolonged muscular exertion, and
forcible and sudden muscular exertion,
especially in the direction of the extrem-
ities. The disorder is very apt TO rise in
persons ofirritable temperament, attacks
persons of middle age oftener than the
Young, men oftener than women and the
robust oftener than the weakly, and
occurs oftener in hot climates than in
cold. It's most powerful and avoidablc
cause is the immersion of the body while
heated in water of relatively low tenn
perature.

WHERE PATR1oTs SLEEP.

In dreams I stand beside the tide
Where those old heroes fell;
Above the valleys, long and wide,
Sweet rings the Sabbath bell,
Where patriots sleep.
/ hear no more the bugle blow,
As on that fateful day;
hear the ring-dove fluting low,
Where shaded waters stray,
Where patriots sleep.

A WARM RECEPTION.
How Masked BurRiars were Surprised.
rspeciaI telegram to the Dispatch.l

Especial telegram To the Dispatch.l
RALEIGH, N. c., January L9.-
There is q great sensation at Green
vile. the county-seat Of Pitt county,
caused by the shooting Of masked
burglars. A detailed account Of the
affair has just reached here. Friday
night three men, all white, named John
Page, Ben. Evans, and Mack Avery,
went to the house Of Mr.. lladdock,
near Greenyille. There they got supper,
and about Q o'clock departed. The night
was bitter cold, but the moon shone
brightly. The men stole three Of Had
docks finest horses from the stables,
saddled and bridled them, and rode
away. just before midnight they ap-
peared at the store Of Samuel Cory,
eight miles from Greenville. They tied
the horses, and, advancing 20 the door
Of the store, broke it down. As they
stepped inside the store there was
fash near them and loud report
of gun, followed by q second, aud
in almost an instant Evans and Avery
lay upon the floor riddled with shot.
Cory and two trusted negroes, his en-
ployees, were in the store, well armed,
expecting a visit of robbers, as several
attempts had before been made. Cory
waited until the robbers broke open
the door and then fred--frst one bar
rel Of a shotgun, then another. Evans
and Avery were both badly hurt-the
former being shot in the abdomen. All
were masked. They were captured and
jailed. The horses were found tied in
the woods near by, and were all recov-
cred by lIaddock, their owner.

by tho Supreme Court OF the onited
States. II is hardly to be presumed
that the highest court in Virginia would
do such thing. Our Courtos Appeals
constituted as at present, has been in
existence for several years, and has
never been guilty Of disregarding the
decisions of the highest court in the
United States. Perhaps Mr.. RoyALL
will take hint, and make up case in
which the Virginia Court Of Appeals
shall reverse the Supreme Court Of the
United States.
In conclusion, that the reader may
see its position as stated by itself, we
copy another paragraph from the V'r-
ginian:
1.-THE court decides that the act OF
the Legislature of 1884 is valid, and
that coupons cannot be used in pay
ment Of school taxes. While this is
the length to which this decision goes
as one Of present practical force, the in
timation is distinctly made tby obter
dictam, as the lawyers say that the
cont is prepared to decide when the
point is properly presented that cou.
pons are not good for the payment OF
either school taxes or those for
ordinary purposes of Government,
and that the funding bill of 1871 does
not rest upon valuable considera-
tion," and is therefore unconstitutional
and void. The court declares that the
opinion Of the majority of the judges
in Antoni rS. Wright delivered by
Judge Bouldin) is sophistical and I'M
sound, and that the dissenting opin-
ion Of Judge Staples places the
unconstitutionality of the funding act
upon impregnable grounds. We can
not, therefore, assent to the following
construction which the Dispatch puts
upon the decision"
We have already replied to this last
paragraph.

Mr.. Edmunds's Wit.

The United States Senate is close
corporation. Democrats and Republic
cans in that body regard it as the House
of Lords of this country. MIR. ED
MUNDs's poor joke at the expense oil
Mr.. CLEVELAND, or Of his journalistic
defenders, was allowed to pass on Mon
dsy for genuine wit. Not q senator
rose TO expose its illogical assumption
that because the Senate had no right to
demand of the President Of the United
States his reasons for making removals,
therefore that body had no right to ask
information at the hands Of the chiefs
Of the Executive departments. And the
senator's laughed at this jeu d'esprt -
forgetting that even when asking for
information only, and not for reasons,
the Senate always qualities its request
by the words, "If not incompatible
with the public interests"
Does it need any argument to con-
vince anybody outside Of the United
States Senate that the President has the
absolute power Of removal? Hispower
in respect Of removals is exactly what
his power is in respect Of nominations.
In both cases it is absolute. The SEN
ate has the absolute power to confirm
or to refuse to confirm any nomination
that he may make; but this fact does
not even to the slightest extent qualify
or affect his power as to nominations.
We do not say that he has the abso-
lutte power to make appointments in
those cases in which the Senate has the
right to confirm or to refuse to con
firm but merely that he has the abso-
lutte power to nominate whom he
will. Now. then, if he has this alb
solute power in respect of nomi-
nations, he must have it in respect
of removals. The Senate has no right
to interfere in either case. The Presi-
dent can appoint to high office only
"by and with the advice and consent
of the Senate" but be can nominate for
high Office whomsoever he will. So as to
removals. The language of the Con-
stitution excludes the idea that the
Senate has any voice whatever in respect
of these.
Mr.. CLEVELAND, backed by the
opinion Of every member Of his Cabinet,
stands upon his constitutional rights
Let him stand firm. Ifthe Senate persists
in annoying him, and he manfully up
holds his constitutional rights, as Gene
raj JACKSON did fifty years ago, he will,
like JACKSON, be elected President foI
q second term.

To the Editor ofthe Dispatch
As you write for the instruction OF
the people, permit me to ask you what
you meant when you wrote recently,
" We suppose that Gresham's law would
at once begin TO operate and gold dlsap-
pear" OF course my question hinges
on the last three words quoted. is II
not notorious that gold and silver coins
are the only legal money known to the
Constitution of the United States, ana
have they not lived df such an ex-
preston may be allowed) side by
side from the foundation of our Govern
ment to the present time as legal
money---the one being used mainly as
a currency money passed from hand to
hand in trading), and the other as
basis OF bankingg l am an old man,
and never yet have ! seen gold used as
currency among the people, nor
do | believe it has ever been
used as such in any State
north of Georgia in my day. The
question then is How would gold dis
appear, if heretofore it has generally
been kept well out of sight? doubt
very much il in the last ten years there
has been 81 in gold used in every thou
sand dollars of debts which have been
settled among individuals living north
of Mason & Dixon's line. Now, how
silver could make gold disap-
pear is one Of the things |
cannot see into. Suppose, however,
it is meant that it will cause gold to
come out of the banks where it is now
hid, and be shipped abroad, may | ask
why the using Of hundreds Of millions
Of paper money as currency failed to
cause such a move? Besides, why
should gold go abroad when our ex-
portations are so much heavier than our
importations, and when as money gold
can be used to far better advantage in
our own country than in England or
Europe.
There isno sort Of doubt that silver and
silver certificates are gradually taking
the place of greenbacks and national
bank-notes, Doth mere paper money!
and that is just where the shoe pinches
national banks and bondholders.
Should Congress permit free coin
age of silver Ito be converted into sill
YER certificates when desired) doubt
less the banks would try some way to
make it appear that a great deal Of
gold, which never was visible to the
people, had in some mysterious way
entirely disappeared. A. &. NJ.

Crank in the Northwest.

John @. Badeau, a Frenchman, ar
rived IN Bismarck, Dakota, on Thurs
day, and created quite a sensation by
announcing that he had authority from
the half-breed and Indian followers OF
Louis Riel to purchase ammunition and
guns for an outbreak in the spring. He
said he was chief Of the tribes Of the
Northwest Territory, and talked in
mysterious innuendo and with wild and
frantic gestures. lie went West, stating
that he would 60 to the Pacific coast
and thence to Alaska, where he expects
to incite the natives to join him. He
talked about hearing from Riel, whose
spirit, he says, is directing all his
movements. He was pronounced q
lunatic, but his perfectly rational con-
versation on all other subjects left the
opinion that he is simply q virulent
type Of acrank. However, the serious
rumors which have been received from
the Northwest Territory leave q slight
belief that he is representative Of re-
bellious half-breeds.

National Aid 70 Education.


The Savannah tGa.) Neps calls at
tention to the growing sentiment in the
South in favor of national aid to educa-
ton, and says:
"There are two things apparent to
those who study the educational pro-
blem in the South. One is that the
southern people have determined that
they will do all they can to support the
public schools, and the other is that
they are not able TO do anywhere as
much as ought to be done. For the
cities and many Of the larger towns
there are excellent school facilities, but
the school advantages in the rural dis
tricts are very meagre.
"If, therefore, the South is anxious
for more and better schools, and is not
able to furnish them, why should any
Of those who represent her in Congress
object to receiving national aid?"
There is no reason why any south
ern congressman should object to ma
tional aid TO education granted under
the BLAIR bill or a similar measure.
The congressman who objects might as
well oppose making appropriations for
the improvement of southern rivers and
harbors.

Strictly speaking, the Boston Herald
may be termed a monometallist. 1t
has steadily opposed the continued coin
age of silver, but it has not lost its
head. 1t says:
"The Herald has steadfastly declined
to join the alarmists, who predict dire
disaster as the result of continued
coinage Of 100000 month in sill
yer dollars. The country has stood this
without serious disturbance for seven
years. and can endure it for q while
longer; but the coinage should stop for
common. sense reasons, and in Justice
to the taxpayers. Enough is enough.
Of silver dollars as Of other things and
the big and growing excess of these
coins in the Treasury proves that the
country has more than enough of them
for the present."
Whatever one may think Of the
soundness of the Herald's reasoning,
he cannot but be struck with the favor
able light in which is language appears
when contrasted with that Of the papers
that are inspired by the Wall-street
CAsSANDRAS.

The Court of Appeals decided last
week that coupons are not to be taken
in payment of public-schoOl taxes
Judge Richardson delivering the opin-
ion. We have no doubt the opinion is
a sound one, or, at least, correct one.
But how will the opinion of the Court
of Appeals of our State override the
ruling of the Federal Courts of Judges
Bond and Hughes, and those rendered
by the Supreme Court Of the United
States ?-Lynchburg Adccnce.
The point has never been made in
any case decided by the Supreme Court
ofthe United States. There was an obiter
dictum on that point in the opinion of the
Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia
in the first case Of Antoni Us. Green
hotc but, as is stated in the opinion OF
this latter court in the case of VAsHoN,
&C., decided last week, the question OF
the power Of the Virginia Legislature
to forbid the receipt Of coupons for
school taxes has never been passed
upon by the Supreme Court Of the
United States.
BOND and HUGHES have nothing to
do with this case. 1t goes up to the
Supreme Court Of the United States,
whose decisions bind beth BOND and
HUGHES. We are inclined to believe,
however, that Judge HUGHES concurs
in the decision in VAsHoN, &c.

Coda Question Answered.

We concur in almost all that A. U.
NJ. SAYS in the following communica-
ton, and have therefore no comment
to make upon its averments. But we
must answer the following interroga-
tory:
"How would gold disappear if here
tofore it has been kept generally out OF
sight?"
A, @. NJ. asks this question because
we said the other day that under the
circumstances we were speaking OF
GREsHAM's law would begin to ope-
rate and gold would disappear. If A.
C. NJ. will recall to mind just what
GREsHAM's law is, he will at once see
what we meant when we said that
under Its operation gold would disap-
pear. We defined that law last week
in q few plain words. We said that
GREsHAM's law is that if you have
ragged greenback and new one, you
will first pay out the ragged one. In
other words, that all men in paying
out money use the worst they have that
can be lawfully used. So that what
We meant by the words quoted by A.
G. N. was that IL the Government
should adopt the policy of paying in
silver the interest upon the national
debt and the principal Of the ma
tons bonds, the result would be G
single standard Of values, and this
standard q silver standard. Silver
dollars are now constantly quoted
a below par. Under single standard
Of values, and this the silver standard,
silyer dollars would be quoted at par,
and gold would stand OF premium OF
SOY 20 or possibly 80 per cent. That
4. gold dollars and silver dollars would
no longer be interchangeable. Messrs.
VANCE, BECK, MAxEY, Brown, and
. large majority Of our present con-
gressmen say no such result would fol-
low. We are inclined to think 1t
would. But We would like to see the
dispute settled. However, that is NOT

Drummers, or commercial travel
lers, now have "the run " Of all the
States. The Supreme Court Of the
United States has decided that all State
laws taxing drummers from other States
more than drummers in their own
States are unconstitutional. Bat the
drummer must not deceive himself as
to the extent to which that decision
goes. 1t goes no further than we have
said. Virginia can make every drum
mer pay Q tax Of five hundred dollars
. year If she chooses SO to do. She is
prohibited only from taxing . New
York drummer more than she taxes a
local or Virginia drummer. That is
all. Possibly prohibitory tax would
be held to be unconstitutional even il It
did not discriminate against drummers
from other States. This point, how
ever, has never yet come up for de-
cision.

A DEADLY DUEL.
Both CombatanIs, n Bulldog aud Mare.
Fight to the Death.

Both Combatanis, Bulldog aud n Marc.
Fight to the Death.
A Stanly IN. j. telegram Of the 5th
instant says: A bulldog and young
mare belonging to George Runyon,
farmer Of this place, became engaged in
fight yesterday, in which the mare sue
ceeded, after a hard-fought battle, in
killing her adversary. The two ami
mails were stable companions, but the
mare had great dislike toward the
dog, and worried him in every way she
could. Yesterday afternoon the mare
broke her halter, and, seizing the dog
with her teeth, she began to shake it
yiciously. The dog, not liking this
kind of treatment, seized its enemy by
the nose, and then followed terrible
fight. The dog shook itself loose from
its foe and sprang at it, only to be
kicked to the end of the barn.
At last the dog succeeded in getting
q grip on the mares nose, and that was
not loosened until the larger animal
had placed its forelegs on the body and
tore itself away. A large crowd had
assembled to witness the fight, drawn
by the wild neighs and barks of the
combatants. The fight continued for
about fifteen minutes, when suddenly
the dog sunk its teeth in the fOreleg Of
the mare, and in the latter's vain efforts
to reach it with its mouth the horse fell
directly on its foe and crushed the life
out of him. AS the mare rose from
the body of the dog she gave a shrill
neigh and turned round and kicked the
body into shapeless mass. When Mr..
Runyon was informed Of the fight he
went Immediately to the barn and found
his mare lying in its stall nearly dead
from the loss of blood. The legs and
neck of the brute were terribly lace
rated and its nose was entirely gone.
1t was impossible for the animal to live,
and so she was shot.
