them for the southern confederacy After
much protest the commissioners, who had
embarked for England and France, sur
rendered and were taken to Fort Warren,
near Boston. The capture was a plain in
vasion of the laws of nations and an
tagonistic to a principle for the establish
ment of which the United States govern
ment had fought in other days. However,
SO great was the excitement that the
secretary of the United States navy wrote
an applauditory letter to Captain Wilkes,
commander of the San Jacinto, for his
prompt and decisive action" and the
house of representatives passed a resolu-
ton of thanks for brave, adroit and pa
triotic conduct and the millions of the
north went wild with enthusiasm, and all
the newspapers and churches Joined in
the huzza. England and France protest
ed, the former demanding that unless the
distinguished prisoners should be surren-
dered and apology mad for insult to the
British flag within ten days Lord Lyons
must return to London, taking all the ar
chives of the British legation. War with
England and France seemed inevitable,
and war will England and France at that
time would have made a restored Ameri-
can nation impossible for a long while,
if not forever. Then God came to the
rescue and helped the president and his
secretary of state. Against the almost
unanimous sentiment of the people of the
north the distinguished confederates were
surrendered, the law of nations was kept
inviolate, the lions paw was not lifted
to strike the eagles beak. and perhaps
the worst disaster of centuries was
avoided.
There came another crisis within the
last two years, when millions of people
demanded that American war vessels sail
into Turkish waters and stop the atrOci-
ties against the Armenians. The people
at large have no idea of the pressure
brought upon our government to do this
rash thing. Missionaries and other prOmi-
nent Americans in and around CONSTANT
nople at the office of the
American legation and demanded that our
minister plenipotentiary cable to WASH
ngton for United Staes ships of war. and

gram. Had our ships gone into those
waters the guns of foreign nations, ever
lastingly jealous of us, would have been
turned against our shipping, and our navy
within a few years become respectable in
power. would have crawled backward in
disgrace. The proposition to do what
could not be done was mercifully with
drawn.
THE RIGHT THING.
There will not be a year between now
and the next twenty years when those
who are in authority will not need the
guidance of the God of nations. God
only can tell the right time for nations
to do the right thing. To do the right
thing a. the wrong time is as bad as
to do the wrong thing at any time. Cuba

after the cornerstone of the old capitol
had been laid. Yet the cornerstone of
our republic was first laid in 1876, and at
the re-establishmen of our national gov
rnmen was laid again in 1865. But are we
not ready for the laying of the corner

much from God. Do we not owe new con-
secration? Are we not ready to become a

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 9-Con-
gresham Peter j. Otey has dis
tinguished himself by active and nom
orable service in the house of repre-
sentatives, where he was sent from the
Sixth district of Virginia. On the
floor of the house and in the committee
room he is a CONSPICUOUS advocate of
measures for the advancement of good
government. In what high honor
Paine's celery compound is held in the
family of this distinguished legislator
appears from the following letter:
Dear Sirs:-For years l have been a
great sufferer from neuralgia, and
during the past winter was advised to
try your Paine's celery compound, and
I used two bottles of it with great ben
eft. [ was so much pleased with it
that | persuaded my brother, John
Floyd, to use it. He had been having
a bad form of nervous dyspepsia, and
now, after using the compound for two
months, is so much improved that we
feel sure a third bottle will complete
his cure. Every one has spoken of the
marked change for the better in his ap-
pearance. Respectfully,
Mrs. Mallie Floyd Otey.
This is one of some Is or 20 letters
from United States congressman or
members OF their famllleS, that nave
recently appeared in the Wspap
here, heartily recommending Paine'S
celery compound.
One Of the most eminent physicians
in the city, being interviewed by one
of the papers, says:
"Paine's celery compound marks a
tremendous stride in the cure of dis
eases.
NO remedy has ever succeeded in
driving out the underlying causes of
and organic troubles so surely
and rapidly. Ne remedy represents so

There is less hesitation nowadays

we'll known that disease is progressive

feeling in their true light and as SER
iOusly as they deserve to be and make
a stand against them at once by means
