IN PERFECT HEALTH.
What Doctor, Who Lately Saw Blaine,
Saws of His Condition.

SPRINGFIELD (O.), May 17th.-Dr jay W.
Morrison, of this city, returned yesterday
from an extended trip through Europe
While in Naples recently he met James G..
Blaine. He says: "Mr. Blaine was en-
joying the best of health. He did not have
that tired, exhausted look which he wore
when we saw him here four years ago, and
he looks like a different man. His hair
and beard are almost snow white now, and
this change in his beard brings out the
prominent lines in his strong face beau
tifuily. His complexion is as clear and
pure as child's, and his eyes
are as keen and bright as those of a man
twenty-five .years younger. l heard the
reports of his ill health, and I looked at
him with the eye of physician, and do
not hesitate to say that he was in superb
physical condition. AS l looked at him I
felt that he was fit to fight the battle of his
life. Those persons who think that he is
not able to endure the strain of another
campaign will realize their mistake if the
Chicago Convention nominates him and he
accepts the nomination"

A Warning.

The modes of deaths approach are va
rious, and statistics show conclusively that
more persons die from diseases of the
throat and lungs than any other. 1t is
probable tha. everyone, without exception,
receives vast numbers of tubercle germs
into the system, and where these germs
fall upon suitable soil they start into life
and develop, at first slowly, and is shown
by slight tickling sensation in the throat,
and if allowed to continue their ravages
they extend to the lungs, producing con-
sumption, and to the head, causing
catarrh. Now ell this is dangerous, and il
allowed to proceed will in time cause death
At the onset you must act with prompt.
ness; allowing a cold to go without atten-
ton is dangerous, and may lose you your
life. As soon as you feel that something is
wrong with your throat, lungs or nostrils
obtain bottle of Boschee's German Syrup
1t will give you immediate relief.

WASHINGTON, May 17th-The name of
General Rosecrans. who is well-known on
the Pacific slope, continues to be favorably
mentioned for the second place on the
Democratic national ticket. Interviews
with Senator Voorhees, and Representatives
Holman, Howell, O'Neil and other Indiana
members of Congress confirm the claim
made by the friends of General Rosecrans.
that his nomination would be highly ac-
ceptable to all classes of people in Ohio
and Indiana.
Senator VOORHEES, said in conversation
on the subject last evening: "Of course,
we Indiana people have already received
instructions Tor Gray, and will stand by
him for first choice, but General Rosecrans
stands very well, indeed, with our people,
and would make strong man for Vice
President. We like him"
Judge W. a. Holman, who has twelve
times been elected TO Congress from In
diana, said: Although l do not wish to
be understood as saying anything to ipjure
the prospects of Governor Gray, the candi-
date from my own State, yet l have no
hesitation in saying that General Rosecrans
would make an exceptionally strong candi-
date, not only in Indiana and Ohio, but
| over the whole country. He is an idol of
the old soldiers, stands high with the labor
ing classes, and no one that could be
named would be a stronger man for the
place. His birth and long residence in
Ohio, and his present Identification with
the Pacific coast-a section considered
doubtful-add still more strength to his
name in this connection"

TROUBLED DEMOCRATS.
Cieveland's Friends Not satisfied With
the Action in New York.

Copyright 1883, by The California Associated PressI
WASHINGTON, May 17th.-Friends of the
Administration who went from here to at
tend the New York State Democratic Con-
vention have returned not quite satisfied
with the tariff resolution in the platform.
They say there Was a resolution drawn
which indorsed 1.-The Mills bill by name,
and that there was large majority of the
Convention in favor of it. 1t was to pre-
vent a small and very earnest minority
from making noise and disturbing the
harmony of the Convention that they con-
sented to adopt merely an Endorsement of
Cleveland's message. The thing was
brought about by Messrs. Cooper and Her
rick, both of whom are avowed Cleveland
men.
1t was due TO an unaccountable opposi-
ton on the part of Messrs. Hewitt and
Cooper to the Mills bill and rather than have
an open rupture with even a small mi
nority OF the Convention in which they
wanted perfect harmony, they consented
to omit the Mills bill from the resolutions,
leaving the Endorsement of that specially
to the National Convention.

in the Sny levee, about two miles below
the Hannibal bridge, and this was followed
at O'Clock by a larger and more serious
one above the bridge.
The widest excitement prevailed in
Hannibal and among the farmers, who
stubbornly refused to leave the bottoms.
Two hundred men, who had been engaged
all night in placing bags of sand on the
levee to keep the river back, attempted to
close the breaks, but without success. The
| more sensible farmers had removed all
| their stock to the bluffs, six miles distant,
but some remained until the moment OF
the calamity, and they sustained severe
losses. Hogs, cows and horses could be
seen swimming in the flood until they
came in contact with some obstruction,
