Fleury had received special directions from the
Emperor Napoleon to remain at st. Petersburg,
and that this incident proves the desire of the
Russian and French Cabinets to continue on the
same amicable terms as before. The same
intelligence had been published in pre-
cisely the same form by the EXCHANGE
Gazette four or five days previously, and
there is little doubt that this tardy reproduction
of the news in the semi-official paper was not
accidental. As to the declaration of neutrality,
which was also proclaimed on that day, it is
rather a step in favor of France than otherwise,
for it had been hitherto assumed as a matter of
course that Russia would fight by the side of
Prussia. Since then the Journal de 81. Peters,
bourg, like the other papers, has entirely come
over TO the French side. Another semi-offieal
paper, the GOloss, after severely condemning
Prussia for its arrogance, says that Russia de-
sires her humiliation but not her ruin, and that
Prussia ought to be greatly obliged to Russia
for her neutrality, as, If the latter power used
it, she might annihilate Prussia without herself
drawing the sword. Ali she would have to do
is to declare herself on the side OF France: this
would compel King William to send half his
army to the eastern frontier, and place him at
the mercy of his enemies in the West.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT-TRAINs DELAYED !


Yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock one of


the horses attached to a street car coming
up Main street fell into the hole ut the
corner of Main and Fourteenth, which had
been dug for the purpose Of putting in some
new water-pipes. There was not sufficient
space for the two horses when they came
to the heavy draught at the foot of the
hill. Hence the accident; but with the ex-
ception of small amount of hair rubbed
from the rump of the horse we believe
no other damage was done. The down car
bound for Rockets was delayed for few
moments, but after the horse was taken
out they event on their way rejoicing

such as to create the impression that he

says that acqufescence raises the belief

in the hearts of the citizens, in the Federal
courts, and in the laws. God save us from
such acquiescence as we have now. There

have for holding that office-that is, that ne

Mr.. WELLS then went on to discuss the
matter of military interference. He
claimed that military commanders were re-
quired in any event to preserve the peace,
and it was fallacy to assert that riot
should rule in q city and no interference
should be had unless the legislature or
Governor of the State called for military
aid. 1t was folly to suppose that this city
was to be disturbed merely because two
hungry claimants were struggling for Office.


Mr.. WELLS returned to the consideration
of the constitutionality of the enabling act.
He thought the act constitutional as far as
it legalized the acts of the officers ap-
pointed by the military authorities. That
portion of the law granting appeals from
the decisions Of the Court of Appeals was
unconstitutional in that the Legislature
was thereby assuming judicial functions.
1t is as plainly unconstitutional as it is
possible for it to be. 1t is also clearly un-
constitutional in that it makes an elective
office appointive. 1t is no law at all, but
merely an assumption.

and Consumption.


Probably never before in the whole history of

upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long
series ofyears, and among most of the races of
men it has risen higher and higher in their estma.
ton, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to the various affections
of the lungs and throat have made it known as re.
liable protector against them. While adapted to
mider forms Of disease and to young children it is
at the same time the most eectual remedy that can
be given for incpient consumption, and the dam
gerous affections of the throat and lungs. AS pro.
vision against sudden attacks of Group, it should
be kept on hand in every family and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them,


Although settled Consumption is thought in.
curable still great numbers of cases where the dis.
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry Pect0ral. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate Of them yield to it. When moth
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pee
t0ral they subside and disappear.


Singers and Public Speakers find great pro.
lection from it.


Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.


Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry PectoraI in small and frequent doses.


For Cough and Cold, no better remedy can
be had. Take small doses three times day and
put the feet in warm water at night, until the
disease is broken up.


FOR influenza, when it affects the throat or
lungs, take the same course


FOR whoopi'i0 Cough, give small doses three
or four times day.

POSTAL TELEGRAPH CANARDs.-The an
nouncement recently made that the postal
telegraph system had proved a failure in Great
Britain is we'll understood to be canards put out
in the interest of the Western Union monopoly
The fact is, the postal system has not been
fairly tried in England. Less than month
ago the government took possession Of the
monopolists' wires and commenced the inaugu-
ration Of the new system. The enormous
increase of business brought suddenly upon
the wires by the change has caused little
friction, and few cases Of delay have been
reported. The monopolists are raising howl
over what they falsely term the failure of the
postal system in England. The announcement
in question contains falsehoods too numerous to
mention, and it's statements Of fact are in every
case grossly exaggerated. The object of its
publication is to prejudice Congress against
any change in the United States.

The end Of agitation on the negro
question, is moi yet, by a long mark.
SAMBo may go to the polls, but he is
not admitted to hotels aud theatres, and
opera houses, on full equality With
white men, nor are his children seated
by the side Of whito girls and boys in
the public schools. These are the open
points on which agitation is to be con-
tlnued for political effect. At present
there is fierce war raging in Washing
ton among the Radicals. One wing of

BOwES, the other denounce him as un.
worthy of confidence in any re-

recently held in one of the wards
OF that city, when some facts were
developed in relation to this negro
equality crusade worthy of attention.
One of the speakers at that meeting
based his admiration of General GRANT
upon the fact that "the President re-
ceived white and colored men alike in
his house and at his table. This is full
social equality for the negro. Heis not
only TO enter the houses Of white men
and mingle with their guests, bat he is
to sit At the same table with them. II
this is denied, then the peace and re-
pose of the country are to be disturbed
for years to come. General GRANT
has invited a negro to the White
House aud his table, and thus
endorsed in an open manner, the full
amalgamation theory" Another heart
lily endorsed the above positi,n, and
urged that the unjust distinction still
existing in the schools of the city should
be abolished, and white and black share
the same school privileges. This is the
key note Of the coming movement. The
Radical party must sgitate. Without
agitation it is nothing, and would sink
into nothinguess. They have accepted
the point of sgitation, and that is full
negro equality-political and social

To CoNsuMprWEs EvERYwHERE.-A
correspondent of a Georgia paper writes
as follows:


Having seen much suffering from con-
sumption, and knowing that thousands of
dollars are yearly spent by invalids tray
cling for their health, and on medicines
and physicians, we propose simple recipe
by which patients may become their own
physicians, and if not too far gone, will
guarantee perfect cure, if made and reg
ularly taken according to directions.
The ingredients are hoarhound, mullen
and molasses, ingredients that are within
the reach of all, the mullen growing wild
in every field, the hoarhound in every gar
den, and the molasses can be had at any
grocery. The directions for making are
to take a large handful of hoarhound
and boil as strong tea as can possibly be
made. Take up and then boil an equal
amount of MULLEN in the same way. Take
teacupful each of MULLEN and hoarhound f;
then add a cupful of molasses and stew to
a syrup-the quicker the better. Take a
teaspoonful three times day. 1t is not
best to make more than quart at time,
as the fresher it is the better effect will be
produced"

on this plant Other fruits of the garden,
he said, had been long in reaching their
present perfection whereas tho tomato
has been comparatively short time under
cultivation. Experience has satisfied him
that it is most susceptible of improvement.
Then why grow coarse, unsightly, spongy,
ill-favored tomatoes when, by attending
to few simple but important things, the
finest qualities may be had? Seed from
fruit which ripens earliest will produce the
earliest next season, and if. properly
grown, and from the best variety, will
give the desirable qualities of earliness.

light, rich soil the box in the sunshine

covered with glass to counteract the dry

thus pruned will produce larger fruit.
