been used for food by Frenchmcn, al

tacit permission to use it. The police
forbade it's sale at various times between
1879 and 1884. The ordinance in the
year named had in the preamble the
explanatory phrase: ITO present the

The president has sent to the senate the
nomination Of Brig. Gen. Alfred II. Terry
to be major general vice Winfield Scott
Hancock, deceased.
Gen. Terry was born at Hartford, Conn, in
1927 and is consequently So years ofage. He
was lawyer before the civil war, but the
breaking out OF the rebellion found him a
colonel in the expedition against Port
Royal, in November 1861. He became q
brigadier general in March, 1862, and
took prominent part in the capture OF
Fort Wagner, in September, 1868. Gen.
Terry commanded division in the army
OF the James river, in Virginia, in 1864,
and was selected by Gen. Grant to
lead the expedition against Fort
Fisher with the cooperation Of Admiral
Porter. On the 18th day ofJannary, 1885,
he assaulted the fort,and was met with OBJ
stinate defense, but captured the entire gar
rison and armament, thus securing one Of
the most important results OF the war.
Gen. Terry assumed command OF the de-
partment OF Dakota Sept. IS, 1886. He
was relieved by Gen. Hancock, May IT,
1859. From there he went as commander to
the department of the south, with head
quarters at Louisville, Ky. He returned
to the command of the department OF Da-
kota in January, 1878, and has been there
ever since. 1t is impossible at this time to
tell what the changes will be at Fort Smell
ing, us there will be an appointment OF an
other brigadier general, ana matters there
will hang fire, waiting for further advices
from Washington.

Halls Journal Of Health calls atten-
ton to the fact that this is the season
pneumonia. Anything that lowers
the vitality of the system is conducive
to the disease, and should be carefully
avoided. Overwork, either physical
or mental, has much to do with it.,
and this explains why so many bust.

counted for the lack of snow in the mari

GlOJe-Democrat A strong point is
made by Congressman Houck. of Ten
nessee, in his speech on the Fitz John
Porter issue. Under the constitution. he
declares, the sction of court martial,
when concluded and executed as
the law provides, is faal beyond
the reach Of any other tribunal of the
government, subject only to the right
OF disapproval or of pardon, vested in
the president; and that, therefore, con-
gress en- not with any more propriety
annul such action than it could set
aside the verdict of an ordinary court of
justice. This will not stand 10 the way
Of the democrsuc determination to re-
store Porter to the army, of course; but
it will help the people TO understand
how far that element is willing TO g0 in
the work of condoning treachery to the
Union cause.
