For long time we steadily refused to pub
lish testimonials, believing that, in the opinion
of the public generally, tho great majority
were manufactured to order by unprincipled
parties as a means of disposing of their worth
less preparations
That this view of the case is to certain ex-
tent true, there can be no doubt.
At last, several years ago, we came to the
conclusion that every intelligent person can
readily discriminate between spurious and
bona tde testimonials, and determined to use
as advertisements few of the many hundreds
of unsolicited certificates in our posses
sion.
In doing this we published them as nearly as
possible in the exact language used by our cor
respondents, only changing the phraseology,
in some cases, so as TO compress them into a
smaller space than they would otherwise occu-
py, but without in the least eXaggerating or de-
stroying the meaning of the writer's.
Weare glad TO say that our final conclusion
was correct one-that letter recommending
an article having true merit finds favor with
the people.
The original of every testimonial published
by us is on file in our office, an inspection of
which will prove to the most skeptical that
our assertion made above, that only the facts
are given as they appear therein, is true.
But as IL would be very inconVenient, IL not
impossible, all of our friends to cali on us
for that purpose, we invite those who doubt
Qf there be such), to correspond with any Of
the parties whose names are signed to our tes-
timonials, andask them if we have made any
misstatements, so far as their knowledge ex-
tends, in this article. In other words, If we
have not published their letters as nearly YER
batlm as possible.

AN INCIDENT OF THE WAR.

Col. VIM. w. Blackford, of the First Reg
ment of Engineer Troops, Army of North
ern Virginia Formerly II member of the
staff of Gen. ]. e. 3. Stuart) furnishes 10
the thirteenth volume of the Southern HIS
torical Papers, recently issued the following
account of q scene witnessed by him on the
9th of April, 1865:
During large part of the day Of the
surrender at Appomattox, Gen. Lee and his
staff remained in an apple orchard near the
village. The road from this orchard to ar
my headquarters lay through Il little valley,
and upon the hills on either side n consider
able portion of our force were encamped.
After arranging the details of the, surren-
der, Lee mounted his horse TO return to his
quarters. Always an imposing figure, his
appearance that day was particularly
noble and striking in the full dress uniform
he had put on, with sword and sash. He
rode his favorite horse, Traveller, a superb
iron gray, so we'll known in tho army, and
his seat in the saddle was tho perfection of
firmness and manly grace.
One of Travellers peculiarilies was that
when the troops cheered his master, as they
invariably did when he passed, the animal
appeared to appreciate the compliment as
paid in part to himself. and would toss his
head at every shout. The men relished the
joke 80 much that they sometimes repeated
their cheers to sec the horse bow to them,
as they called it. Upon this occasion, when
their great commander appeared, the men
came running down to the road along which
he was approaching, and the writer,
seeing that something Of interest WIGS about
to happen, mounted his horse and followed.
In a few moments wall Of men had formed
on each side of the road rs far as the eye
could reach. At first they began cheering as
he passed, and Traveller tossed his head
at almost every step, hut presently sobs
ming led with the cheers, and, before half
the distance was passed, choked all other
utterance.
Taking of their hats reverent!y, they
abandoned all attempt at control over. their
feelings, and grim, bearded veterans wept
aloud General officers who had followed
the men to the road, sat their horses, hat in
hand, with tears streaming from their eyes
Many words of affection and sympathy
were heard. One man, extending both
arms with an impressive gesture, said, II
love you just as we'll as ever, Gen. Lee"
After be had passed, many, throwing them
selves on the ground, covered their faces
and cried like children.
"Gen. Lee rode The whole distance with
his hat in his hand, and with tears trickling
down his cheeks. No one who was present
can ever forget the scene"

Flood Imminaut.

ALTON, ILL.,, Feb. ia disastrous flood
is imminent along the Mississippi unless the
weather turns colder and locks up the over
flowing streams now pouring their torrents
into the Mississippi This river is now al
most at flood height, but is still frozen solid
with the ice gorged in many places clear to
the bottom. There is probably at present
as much ice in the river between here and
st. Louis as was ever before known. The
Missouri and many smaller streams empty
ing into it were reported breaking up yes
terday, and the same report comes FROM the
northern part of this State. In respect to
the streams tributary to the Mississippi and
the Illinois unless these northern floods are
checked by cold weather until the present
high water in the Mississippi runs out great
flood seems imminent. The river here rose
nine inches last night and is still coming up.

Especial Correspondence of the Alexa. GAZETTE
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. IS, 1886.
Unless New Jersey shall attempt, as the
State of Virginia is doing, to set the laws of
the United States at defiance, the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad will probably have little
further difficulty in securing its new pro-
posed New York connection, as the House
Commerce Committee has agreed to report
favorably bill allowing that road to bridge
the Arthur Kill, though the Legislature of
New Jersey had previously defeated bill
for that purpose. 1t is understood that the
action of the committee referred to will be
adopted by the House and also BY the Sen
ate.
Night sessions of the House are only for
the consideration of pension bills. A large
number of such bills, seventy odd, were
passed last night, because General VOL
ford, of Kentucky, who contemplated max
ing speech that would probably have con-
sumed the whole session, was induced to
postpone it in consequence of the deserted
appearance of the galleries, spectators be-.

The State Debt

1t is reported from Richmond that an attempt
is being msdo to induce the Legislature to ap.
point commission to confer with the helders of
the bonds of the State for the purpose of arriving
at some amicable understanding on the debt
question. Some of the leading members of the
democratic party appear to appreciate the fact
that obstructive legislation on the debt question
has gone about as far as it can successfully. The
idea seems to be that the commission suggested
shall be composed of men whose position and in
tclligence will command the confidence of the
people of the State as well as her creditors road
With proper authority these gentlemen would
have a conference with the bondholders and press
upon them the Importance of funding their hold
ings under the Riddlebereer settlement. The
OASIS ct that measure, it is claimed, is by far
liberal than that adopted by many of the South
ern States
ier contra it is asserted that the members of the
nnance committees of the two branches of the
Lesisatnre sa' they have heard of no such prop
oSlt'on, and Go not express much sympathy with
such 8 movement.
