FIRST SYMPTOMS OF DEATH.

Tired feeling, dull headache, pains
in various parts of the body, sinking
at the pit of the stomach, loss of APP
petite, feverishness, pirnples or sores,
are all positive evidence of poisoned
blood. No matter how it became
poisoned it must be purified to avoid
death. Acker's English Blood Elixir
has never failed to remove scrofulous or
syphilitic poisons. For sale by

ing Department-The Harem.
There are over 5000 persons fed three
times day at Dolma- Bagchee palace while
the sultan Is there, which makes housekeeping
rather serious affair, particularly when we
know that these meals are served in nearly
half as many places, there being no regular
dining room nor place which could render
the labor little lighter. Though there are
tables in some of the departments, the ma
jority prefer to eat from their knees, and
thus their meals are handed around, which
makes an enormous amount of unnecessary
work. To keep all this great machinery of
supply in perfect order, so that no matter
how many mouths there are to fill nor what
sudden caprice may seize the sultan or any
of his numerous women, it may be instantly
satisfied, is a tax upon the best capacity,
backed by unlimited money or credit. No
matter how unreasonable or almost imposs-
BILE the demand may be, there is no allow
ance made for delay in the service.

LATEST NEWS.
Congress.

WASHINGTON. March 1.-SENATE
The resolution reported yesterday
by Mr.. Sherman from the commit
tee on foreign relations, requesting
the President to negotiate a treaty
with the Emperor of China contain
ing a provision that no Chinese la
borers shall enter the United States,
was taken up, discussed and
adopted.
The pension bill was taken up,
the pending question being on an
amendment offered yesterday by
Mr.. Wilson, of Iowa, to add the
words from inIirmities of age"
Mr.. Beck said that he understood
the meaning of the amendment to be
that every man who served in the
late war, or in the war with Mexico
or in any Indian war, an:i who was
suffering under ''infrnities of age
would be entitled to pension of S12
month. He supposed that every
man Over fifty or sixty years of age
would consider himself as suffering
under the infrmities of age. Could
the Senator from Iowa or any other
Senator guess how much money
that amendment, if adopted, would
take out of the treasury He ven>
tured to assert that S50,000,000
would not half cover the amount of
expenditure under it. There was
no sense he said in talking Of Il sur,
plus in the treasury. This bill
would settle that for all time to
come. The moment Con. rts3 un-
dertook to pension all the men who
became old the country would
he bankrupt unless taxes were dou-
bled, trebled and quadrupIcd. Pro-
tected rohber baron m0n0polies
could not have drawn a hill ii. their
own interest more adroitlE than this
bill wag drawn. Incidental to this
phase oi the bill Mr.. Beck digressed
to discussion of the tariff and later
on the demonstration of silver and
trusts" Interrup ptions and ques-
tons by the other Senators turned
the discussion into an interlocutory
debate, participated in by Hawley,
Plumb, Sherman, Aldrich, Plat,
Teller and MCPHERSON Without
vote on the pending amendment,
the Senate at $50 adjourned till
Monday.
House: On motion of Mr. Dar-
gan, of South Carolina, the Senate
bill was passed authorizing the Sec
retary of War to transfer to the
trustees of Porter Academy, of
Charleston. S. G, certain property
belonging to the government, and

JUDGE DICK AND Mr.. HENDERSON s
BILL.
The CITIZEN has already pub
lished the substance of the bill
introduced by Hon. John S. Hen
derson, greatly modifying the
methods of the enforcement of
the internal revenue laws, which
bill has passed the House Of Rep
resentatives. Judge Dick has
written a letter of approval to Mr..
Henderson in which he says:
Section 2 is right and in full
accord with the rules of court in
this district. OF course [ prefer
to have a positive law of Congress
upon the subject. =
Il have adopted rules of court
to prevent as far as possible any
oppression on the part of officers,
but I cannot prevent petty prose-
cutions unless [ have the power
of taxing costs and imprisoning
the originatOrs of such prOsecu-
tions."
Judge Dick, in another letter,
dated Feb. 3, assured Col. Hen
derson that if he succeeds in hav-
ing passed bill 5831 you will ac-
complish a good work and will
give the relief which the public
interests require.

DR.. JOHN HALL OF NHw YoRk.

DR.. JOHN HALL OF NRw YoRK.
The New York correspondent to
the Richmond Dispatch undertook
several days ago to give the marri-
age-fees, the income and the wealth
of DR.. Hall. AS an item of news we
republished it.
DIR. Hall is one of the most prom
inent figures in the American
church not only by reason of his
learning and his wisdom but also
because he ministers to the Fifth
Avenue church of New York,
which is perhaps the wealthiest con-
gregation on the continant and
which occupies most handsome
and costly edifice.
For this reason, DR.. Hall is expos
ed to all statements concerning his
own resources. The above State
ment is not new as it went the
rounds several years ago.
We are now prepared TO say
that DR.. Halls salary is $4,000 and
house to live in, and that his re-
ceipts from marriage-fees srce
September in stead Of BEINGS 80 900
as asserted didnot reach three hun
drsd dollars.
Our readers must judge for them
selves how far the facts justify the
assertion that DR.. Halls income is
100000 per year.

The Knoxville Tribune of yester-
day contained the following:
REV. l.. NJ. PEASE.
In an article published in the TTi6-
,t1e Of FEBRUARY 2Sth there appeared
a paragraph rejecting upon the char
acter of Rev. L. NJ. Pease, of Ashe-
vile. We learn that day informed
by reliable gentlemen in Knoxville
that our information about Dr. Pease
was grOssl y untrue and was a most
unjust reflection upon a good man.
On the 29th we made the correction.
Yesterday we received q letter from
Colonel +. j. Aston, of Asheville, in
which he says:
"Rev. L. NJ. Pease is a Christian
gentleman of unimpeachable charac
ter, and whose Christian charity and
generous philanthropy is without
parallel in this or any other State"
Last night we received the follow
ing anonymous telegram addressed TO
the Tribune.

A BEAUTIFUL SIGN.

Mr.. Sault, who recently came to
Asheville for his health, has been
putting i'll some spare moments in
doing some very fine sign painting.
One of the neatest and most attrac-

certainly ornamental, and shows
Mr.. Sault to be a painter of fine
taste and ability.
