cannot say enough in praise Of the CUT1--
CURA REMEDIES. My boy, when one year OF
age. was so bad with eczema that he lost all
tionss which the doctors said was scall-head,
and that his hair would never grow again.
Despairing Of a cure from physicians, began
the use Of the CrTICURA REMEDIES, and, am
happy 10 say, with the most perfect success.
His hair is now splendid, and there is not a
pimple On him. I recommend the CUTICURA
REMEDIES to mothers as the most speedy,
economical, and sure cure for all skin diseases
of infants and children. and feel that every
mother who has an afflicted child will thank
he for so doing.

Adams challenge was passed by Nor
ris to Gardner, which was accepte d..
Pending arrangements for Il meeting
both parties were arrested. 1t appears

communication was at once made by
Gardner that this error would be cor

for meeting. This is the way the
matter now stands. No duel has been
fought, but what may be done in the
future is matter of conjecture.

was STAR representative. The
gentlemen retired to Maj. Raymond's old room,

AN ARMY PLUM.
Paymaster General Rochester to Retire
Tomorrow-Who Will Succeed Him?

Paymaster Gen. VIM. B. Rochester OF the
army will become sixty-four years Of age to-
morrow, and will celebrate that event by re-
tiring from Office. He has been the occu-
pant of this position at the head
Of the pay department for eight
years, and has in that time earned the reputa-
tion of being one Of the most efficient. faithful
and careful accounting officers who ever served
the government. He has never been a particu-
larly popular man in the army, though
never an unpopular one, owing to his somewhat
reserved, retiring nature, but there is no one
in the service who does not express the opinion
that his administration of the financial affairs
OF the army has been a most successful one IL
is the best compliment that the Treasury
department can say Of a that his accounts
are satisfactory, and ii is there said Of Gen.
Rochester that his accounts were the best ever
received He has been on duty in this city at
various times and has great many friends
here.
CANDIDATES FOR THE VACANCY.
His retirement will necessitate the appoint
ment of new paymaster general, and in an
ticipation of that event several candidates have
been in the field for some time. The most
promising Of these are Colonels Rodney Smith
and VIM. A Rucker, who at the head Of the
list, and Majors Vim. II. Gibson, Chas M Ter
rill and Asa b. Carey.
Rodney Smith is the next man in order and
there are those who predict that the fight be-
tween the Others will cause the President to
take the easiest course in solving the problem
by appointing him.
The main struggle lies between Terrill and
Carey, the former being an Indianian, with q
presidential acquaintance and otherwise strong
backing, and the latter the husband Of Secre-
tary Proctor's niece. Terrill is regarded in
some quarters as the most likely man in the
list
