New York's most skillful physicians,

Childbirth, but results from causes
easily understood and overcome. 1t
clearly proves that any woman may
become a mother without suffering
any pain whatever. 1t also tells how
to overcome and prevent morning
sickness, swelled limbs, and all other
evils attending pregnancy. Itisrelia-
bic and highly endorsed by physi-
clans everywhere as the wife's true
private companion. Cut this out; it
will save you great pain, and possibly
your life. Send twO-cent stamp for

1t is said that the following prepa-
ration applied to the surface will pre-
vent any rusting on plows or
any other metal surfaces: Melt one
ounce of resin in gill of hnseed
oil, and when hot mix with two
quarts of kerosene oil. This can be
kept on hand and applied in mo-
ment with a brush or rag to the metal
surface of any tool that is not going
to be used for few days, preventing
any rust, and saving much vextation
when the time comes to use it again.

ject of conversation was the tariffan
the influence the proposed aboli-
ton of the internal revenue system
would have on it. After the inter
view Mr.. Randall said to distin-
guished Southern Representative;
"a tariff bill will be introduced in
the House that will not effect the
industrial interests or disturb the
business 81 the country. 1t will pass
the House, and if it fails to become
a law the responsibility will be with
the Republican Senate. 1t will pro-
vide for the repeal OF the tobacco
and fruit-brandy tax. A bill,
too, very much like the Hen
derson bill ofthe Forty-Ninth Con-
gress will pass the House. There is
a misrepresentation as to the Presi-
dents position on the internal reve-
nue. question, and he may deem it
necessary TO send a supplemental
message to Congress on the subject,
He does not oppose the repeal of the
tobacco and brandy tax and further
more, he believes that the internal
revenue laws are oppressive as en-
forced under existing legislation"

Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. 1888


Sunday was rainy, disrgreeable
day, audit seemed as if the Presi-
dents reception was doomed to be
failure, but when the sun arose Mon
day morning in clear sky, the spir-
its of Washington's people rose too,
as it assured brilliant gathering.
The program was carried out us pub
lished. The first 10 be received were
the Members of the Cabinet and the
Diplomatic Corps, and atterward
other officials called in their regular
order. A large crowd collected in
front of the grounds and a long line
was formed several hours before the
doors were opened to the general
public. The center Of attraction was
the Chinese Legation, who wore their
rich and bright-hued robes of state.
Six members were present, including
the Minister. The Chinese Minister
is the representative of his country to
Chilli and Spain, as well as the United
States. He is very much attached to
this country, and makes Washington
his headquarters, and here he enter
tains right royalty. He frequently
attends the theatre, where he always
occupies box. He wears an i'm.
mense emerald ring, which eXcites
the envy of all lovers of gems, but,
according to negative style, he wears
it on his thumb, and during the play
he frequently changes it from one
thumb TO the other.
The holiday recess is now over and
Congress is preparing to consider
some very grave and serious ques-
tons. On Wednesday the first heavy
artillery shots were fired. When a
motion was made to refer the Presi-
dents message to the Finance Com
mittee, Senator Sherman of Ohio de-
livered thespeech upon which he had
been at work during the whole of the
previous week. He ably championed
the principles of the Republican par.
ty, and was listened to with deep in.
terest by all present. After the con
clusion Of his speech, Senator Noor.
hees arose to defend the message o.
the President. His speech was APP
plauded by his friends, and gave {
clear exposition of the attitude of the
Democratic party on the subject o
the tariff. In the words of Burdette
leach one bore off the PALM" as the
adherents of each claimed the victor
1t is expected that this will be very
long session. There are great many
measures of vast Importance to bt
considered, and some, like the Tariff
Restriction Of immigration, the Utal
bill, and the Blair Educational bill
VIII be sure to provoke long anC
heated discussion.
OF the 5000 bills which were re

gress, very large proportion hav,
already reappeared, and it is estima

When All Sing Is Born.

No sooner is a Chinese boy born into the
world than the father proceeds to write
down eight characters or words, each set OF
two representing respectively the exact
hour, day, month and year of his birth.
These are handed by the father to fortune
teller, whose business it is to draw up from
them a certain book Of fate, generally
spoken of as the boys pat-tsz, or "e,ght
characters" Herein the fortune-teller de-
scribes the good and evil which the boy is
likely to meet with in after life: and the
means to be adopted in order to secure the
one and avert the other. In order to under
stand something Of the value of this docu-
ment, we must glance at the Chinese
method of reckoning time. There are only
twelve Chinese hours to our twenty-four.
Beginning with eleven p. m. to one a. NJ,
which is their first hour, the names are rat,
OK, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep,
monkey, cock. dog and pig. AS every body
is supposed to partake moro or less Of the
nature of the animal at whose hour he is
born, it appears obvious that, e. g., it would
never do to send rabbit boy to the schoo!
of tiger school-master. Hence the neces-
sity of consulting the pat-tsz Of both parties
before entering upon any kind of agree.
ment. It is fact that it is thus referred to
on every important occasion.

Pickett,s Petersburg Charge.

Warner Miller tells this to a New York
reporter: "Longstreet pointed out to us
the rail fence upon which he sat when be
gave the order to Pickett to make MS celc-
brated charge. Longstreet thought that
charge should not be made: indeed, he had
advised Lee earnestly not to engage in
battle at Gettysburg, but to avoid it and
compel us to attack the Confederate army
in & position they might choose, But Lee
thought that the supreme moment in the
battle had come and that he could in imita-
ton of Napoleon make one of those grand
charges which have sometimes decided
battles. Longstreet saw that Pickett's col
umn was doomed. and when Pickett came
to him near one o'clock to get his orders to
advance he said nothing. Longstreet said
that he had such lump in his throat when
he attempted to speak to Pickett that he
could not utter word, He foresaw all the
terrible butchery. Pickett went away, but
returned in a few moments and said: Gen
eral, the time has arrived when was to
make my charge. Shall advanced Long
street merely bowed his head in response.
and Pickett rode away to lead his men to
theic doom.''
