Deafness Cannot be Cured

reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by cons titutional remedies.
Deafness is caused 10y an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbliDg sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result
and unless the inflammation can lie taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrb, which is nothing but an in

WASHINGTON LETTER.

\, WASHINGTON, Feb. 18th, 1885,
Mr.. Cleveland is getting more open
abuse from Senators on account of that
extraordinary bond contract, than he
did from members of the House, and
it is also more outspoken. Senator
Wolcott charac erized it as the most
disastrous assault upon the country g
financial system ever made, adding
"and the worst feature of the whole
wretched business is that the attack is
made by the man who, because of his
position, should have stood the fore
most in our defense. Our nest has
been fouled by the man who should
have stood for our credit. If there
were ever any men who were not en-
titled to consideration it is the Rolls
childs and the President, because they
have sought to blacken our credit, !"
Senator Lodge said the act was the
blacklist ever perpetrated by an ad-
minis.ration in dealing with American
securities, and Senator Teller went
even further than these in his criticism
of Mr.. Cleveland. UP to this tim , no
Senator has even attempted TO defend
that bond contract, although Senator
Hill said it was Congress and not Mr..
Cleveland that vas to blame.

Lady (Spencer) Clifford, widow of
Sir Robert Cavendish Spencer Cliff
ford, Long Yeoman Usher of the
Black Rod, has opened the way to a
new profession for women by being
chartered as captain" under the
Board of Trade, by which she had
absolute command of vessel of her
own. Always fond of life under
"white WINGS" and finding in yacht
ing the only solace to severe domes-
tic Affections, Lady Clifford made sew
eral cruises to Norway and Sicily in
her yacht, commanded by compet-
ent captain; but as many women have
found in other circumstances, she
found the divided authority of the
owner and the captain hardly worked
well. When she got to any part be-
yond the regular track, Lady Clifford
saw that she was not secure against
imposition and nsubordination. Safe
as the roadways and waterways COM
paratively are for women in this nine
teenth century, there were times
when wine got in and wit out in the
male autocrat, who thought woman
was a negligible quantity and
when goods were apt to be brought
on board contrary to her approval
and desire-this, of course, at the
inconvenient stations. eff you want a
thing done, do it yourself" reflected
Lady Clifford, who was not woman
to put up with nonsense. She applied
to her Consul, got her wishes carried
out, and sacked her insubordinate
servants, But a brief experience of
difficulties was sufficient, and, seeing
what an immense advantage it would
be to her in her cruises to have en-
tire command, she set herself to study
navigation. After the requisite exam
nations, which she modestly opines
we're made very light for her at the
Board of Trade (but of that we have
secret doubts, Lady Clifford OBJ
tanned the position of captain, the
first woman in England who has ever
obtained it, and, with a good sailing
master under her, navigated $50 ton
yacht in the channel and Mediterra-
mean with such success that she pro-
poses shortly to visit the East in the
same manner.

bill in the House last week ends all
financial talk in that branch of Con-

gold bond substitute therefor, as well as
Senator Hill's resolution declaring tie
intention of this government to pay
its bonds with the best money when
there is any difference in the money in
circulation, are all open for debate.
No vote can be reached upor any of
them without what would really be

nearness of the end of the session, and
of the necessity for disposing of the

A Terrible Explosion on the Chicago l Drainage Canal.

CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-Rome, a town on the line of the Santa Fe railroad, and along the drainage canal, now building, was the scene of a terrible explosion early this morning. No one was hurt
 Four tons of giant powder, belong ing to a firm of drainage canal con- tractors, was stored in a powder house near Rome. The stock was used as a supply to be drawn upon as needed. In some way not known now, the powder became ignited and ex- ploded with an awful report. Had it occurred during the day doubtless many would have been killed and maimed. The ground around the scene of the explosion was cracked as though from an earthquake.
 People living in the northern su- burbs of this city supposed that ar earthquake had come to the city.
