What an insult it is to the manhood of

TRENTON, June 81, 1Ss6.-Judge Green
filed two opinions in two suits of a similar
character in the United States Circuit
Court yesterday, in both of which the
United States was the defendant. In each
case the decision was in favor of the pc
t%ftioner, Judgment being recorded against
the United States for the sums of 1901. n
and $4,536.54 respectively.
In the first suit, William Utz, Thomas
M. Carrot and William Kirby, of Hobo
ken, were the petitioners. These men, as
co-partners, entered into a contract with
the United States, in January, 1886, by
the terms of which they agreed to do the
earting of all goods arriving at the port
of New York in the custody of the Gov
ernmen for a term of two years. This
carting consisted mainly in taking the
goods from the vessels to the Appraisers
office, for which they were to be paid ait
the rate of Is cents apiece on dutiable
package and / cent apiece for samples
puring the year 1883 packages, which
carried, but ON which they received nly
/ cent each.
In 1893, the claim for s4,5O1.7 was pre-
scented and audited, steps being taken to
pay it. Before this was done, however, the
claim was disputed and referred to the
Treasury Department for adjustment.
There were. several points involved in the
SUR, one of which was the character OF
the articles which the Government claimed
We're samples. Judge Green decided against
It, and in reference to the stand taken
that the time In which the debt could be
Corrected ha expired, said 1t would be
inequitable for the Federal Government
to enforce q mode of procedure against
claimants which might, at the will Of the
government, cause the claim to be barred
by the lapse of time.

RIvBRTON, June q, 1s96.-The seven
year-old son of George Frank of Gin
naminson showed yesterday that he is
built for a hero. He accompanied his
father to town with a load of currants
and sat manfualy up on the wagon while
Frank called upon customers During
one of these calls the horse took fright
and dashed down Main street, at the
foo of which lows the Delaware River.
The little fellow never f.nched, but
tugged hard on the reins. His little
arms were not big enough to check the
the wharf. Never losing his head the
lad put all his strength into one rein
and just as the horse reached the wharf
it turned suddenly and dashed against
a boat house. Currants, wagon, horse
and boy were in a confused mass, but
the sturdy little fellow escaped injury.

There is one true specific for diseases
arising from impure blood and a debili-
tated nervous system, and that is Paine's
celery compound, SO generally prescribed
by physicians. It is probably the most
remarkable remedy that the scientific re-
search of this country has produced.
Prot. Edward E. Phelps, M. D., LII. D.,
OF Dartmouth College, first prescribed
what is now known the world over as
Paine's celery compound, a positive cuve
for dyspepsia, biliousness, liver com
plant, neuralgia, rheumatism, all nervous
diseases and kidney troubles. For the
latter Paine,s celery compound has sue
ceeded again and again where everything
else has failed.
