Etghty Days for Eighty oaths.

Park Wilson, well-known character
of Chambersburg, was recently sent to
Jail by Justice Hansman for swearing
eighty profane oaths Under the Penn
svlvania Blue Lass act of 1874, the
penalty for profane swearing is sixty
seven cents for each oath or. default of
payment thereof. one day in Jail for each
oath Wilson would not pay fine Of
$3.50 for the oaths INDUCED in during q
drunk on Saturday night, so he went to
Jail for eighty days. A conviction under
the blue laws is a very rare occurrence in
in that state. If such law was in force
in Annapolis, there would have to be
considerable addition to our present
Jail.

The best meical writer's claim that the
successful remedy for nasal catarrh must
be non-irritating, easy of application, and
one that will reach all the remote sores
and liberated surfaces. The history OF
the efforts to ire catarrh during the
past, obliges us to admit that only one
remedy has met these conditions, and
that is Ely s Cream Balm. This pleasant
remedy has mastered catarrh as nothing
else has ever Done. and both physicians
and patients freely concede this fact

THE SILVER QUESTION.

Members of she House Committee in
 Session Yesterday A AfternoOn-M
 Oonger, moKinlsy, Baine, mcKenna
 and Baftine to Confer With the
 Senate Sub-Cemmissee.
 WASHINGTON, April 22.-The silver men are in good spirits to-day over the results of the republican house caucus last night and claim substantial victory. It appears that the feeling ran pretty high at times, the members of the caucus committee taking the leading part in the discussion. Representa- tive Henderson of Iowa was for the senate bill as whole. but insisted upon unity of action bstweeA the two houses at any cost.
 Representative Cannon of Illinois was will ing to make any concession upon immaterial pofnts to please his constituents, but he would refuse to do anything which he knew was not right and In the interest of sound finances to save his seat in the house.
 Representative Hopkins of Illinois favored 2 conservative course and his views were in harmony with those of the administration as he said. Representative Mckinley of Ohio, who earlier in the evening had strongly advocated the adoption of the report of the caucus committee, later counsslled harmony and said that as far as he was concerned he would vote for either of the bills, house or senate, that the caucus should agree upon.
 The members of the house committee were in session for an hour this afternoon. The discussion showed that no material change in views had taken place since their last meet ing before the caucus, although there was a more evident desire to come to some agree ment with the senate committee. The silver men managed to secure one concession, which they regard as of value, in the shape of an amendment to the house committee bill, which will be offered to the senators as a partial compromise, absolutely requiring the purchase of not less then two million ounces of silver in each month re- gardleas of price. The committee was also willing to agree that the treasury notes issued in purchase of silver bullion shall be redeemable in coin or lawful money as we'll as in bullion, as proposed by tho house bill, bat persisted in retaining the proviso that the government and not the seller of bullion shall have the option of de- termining the medium in which the notes are to be redeemed. Then upon motion of Rep- resentative Henderson of Iowa the same sub- committee which conducted the last nego- tiations was instructed to confer again with the senate sub committee. The house mem- bers will be Messrs. Conger, Mckinley, Baine, McKenna and Bartine, and the senate committee is made up of Messrs. Aldrich, Allison, Jones, Sherman and Teller. The two committees will meet at o'clock to- morrow and the house committee expects to receive report by 2:30 o'clock.
