Why Gladstone Thinks the Greeks Were
Color Blind.

Mr.. Gladstone's absorbing study Of
Homer has led him to form numerous in.
g~enious theories. One is the belief that the
Greeks were color blind. Otherwise it
would be impossible, he contended, for
Homer to have spoken Of a flock of purple
Sheep" He was stating this view one day
when a celebrated agriculturist who was
present remarked: "Ah! but | know that
in certain parts of England there are iocks
OF purple Sheep" Mr.. Gladstone express.
ed surprise. Inquiries were made, and it
was found that these sheep were only OF
the ordinary brown color.

HOUSE TERRITORIAL PROCEEDINGS.

WASHINGTON. January 1S.-Doherty, Of
Florida, offered an amendment including
Utah and Arizona, saying he could not see
why an omnibus bill OF Democratic origin
should let in all Of the Republican terri
tories and keep out the Democratic terri
tories. He did not see why Utah should be
kept out. Her people were fully equal to
statehood and were among the most relia-
BILE Democrats in this country. In this
case religious prejudice operated to keep
out Utah. W~hy-should she be kept out?
/ believe it is bad politics for a party to
admit territories that will strengthen it's
opponents, and keep out those that will
strengthen itself.
The amendment vas ruled out on a point
of order.

bus bill as amended as a substitute for
Senate measure, and it was agreed to by
a party vote of yeas 1873, nays 80,

Dakota that the Democratic party is will.
ling that Dakota should come into the
union, but in TACT to keep that ferritury
and all others that have IL republican ma.
jority, out Of the union for an indefinite
period OF time. During the last session oil
Congress the gentleman from Illinois and
those who acted with him had refused
to consider the bill for the admission OF
Dakota, but they had heard a voice, it
had been the voice OF magnificent popular
uprising in the northwest; it had said in
thunder tones that the Democratic party
was not fit TO rule the country. The peo-
pie OF the northwest had called for bread
and the Democratic caucus had given them
a stone. There Was nothing new in the
bill but delay; its purpose was delay, and
to defraud the people out Of their rights.

The House then tool a recess, the even

Senate hill for the admission OF South Da.
kota and an enabling act for No tn Dakota,
feel very much dissatisfied with the pro-
visions OF the Springer omnibus bill, which
passed the House to-day. They are all
united in saying it will merely serve to de-
lay the admission of South Dakota, and
render useless all that has been lone since
the organization OF the movement for ad-
mission five years ago.
They are asking the Senate to reject it.
and are willing to take their chances with
a new Congress, hoping and expecting that
an extra session will be called by the Presi-
dent-elect, when he takes Office. The dele
cations regard the provisions of the bill
unfair in o political sense and unsafe for
the material interests OF the Territory.

The Sale of Is, 900 Acres of Land for Taxes
Declared Illegal.
CHARLESTON, W. VA, November 10
Two prominent suits were decided in the
United States Circuit Court to-day: Burr
Wakeman's executors versus Thompson,
commissioner school lands and others; also
Clark versus Reeder. In the former case
5000 acres of Wakeman's lands in Boone
county were forfeited to the State for nom
payment of taxes and sold by order of Boone
Circuit Court by Thompson, commissioner
school lands, five years ago. 1t was pur-
chased in small lots by parties who have
been living on them for years. The United
States Court decided to-day that the sale was
not in accordance with law and decreed
against the defendants, declaring the sale
and procedure of Boone court void. Wake
mans executors reside in New York.
In the other case, E. W. Clark, Philadel-
phia, purchased $1,000 acres Of land in
Boone, Raleigh and Wyoming counties
from Charles Reeder, Baltimore, at 81 20
per acre. through G. G. Watts, Charleston,
agreeing to take the land as already sur
veyed by Sarver, deducting such portions
within the. same held by other parties by
adverse title and possession. Clark brought

There is more than usual uniformity in

though Milwaukee finds business not very
satisfactory owing to open weather, and the
demand for money decreasing, and some
lines of trade are slow at Cleveland, as at
Philadelphia, the reports from other points
are all favorable as to volume of business

FOREIGN EXCHANGE GONE UP.
Foreign exchange is a shade higher and
the Bank of England lost s, ,385, 600 last
week and the Bank of France $26O, 600 gold.
But the large exports lessen demands on this
market.
The Treasury has again avoided the ac-
cumulations of money, having PAID out
during the week $3.50, 900 more than it has
taken in. If the national prosperity does
not engender excessive production In some
branches, and a mischievous revival of
speculation, the prospect for healthy ousi-
ness is excellent.
The business failures numbered 265 as
compared with 267 last week, and 261 the
week previous. Last year at the same time
there were 237.

Mr.. WALTERS TROUBLE.
His Version of the Matter.

Of the hundreds of patients cured by the
physicians of the Polypathic Medical Insti-
tute during the past six months, perhaps
none have experienced more intense suffer
ing than has Mr. Henry Walter. The COM
plication of aches and pains resulting from
rheumatism, associated with a severe chronic
cough, caused him untold misery. Speak
ing OF his trouble one day, he said: "a
catarrhal secretion of mucus often dropped
down from my head into my throat A hard,
dry cough so affected my lungs that my
breath became very short, 1 had tired
feeling, and as grew weaker my stomach
became involved. Ny food would sour on
my stomach, and had sour, bitter eructa-
tions OF gas. I had pain over my eyes, and
often felt dizzy. Ny hands and feet were
continually cold, and I was also afflicted
with rheumatism. I would have sharp
pains in my side and back, and 1 would
sometimes have such a numb, dead feeling.
My disease gradually grew worse. One
day 1 happened to read in the papers
an account of person who had been cured
by the physicians Of the POlypathic Insti-
tute of a disease similar to my own. 1
therefore placed myself under their care,
and became entirely cured"
Mr.. Walter is q well-known gentleman.
and his address will be furnished anyone by
calling at the Institute, 42O Penn avenue.
The physicians in charge treat success
fully all forms of kidney and urinary dis
eases. Also chronic diseases, including
those peculiar to women.
Positively no operations are performed, as
by their medicines and appliances, which
are not known to the general practice, the
ladies can themselves use the treatments.
