DEATH OF ALBERT X. CRUMP.-Albert
Kimbrough Crump died at his residence
in this city on Tuesday evening of consump-
ton. He was o gallant soldier in the late
war, serving in the Richmond Grays until
the second battle of Manassas, when he was
severely wounded, partly losing the use Of
his legs. In every engagement he bore
himself with conspicuous bravery, and en-
joyed the friendship of every member of
his company.


At the first election after the surrender
Mr.. Crump was, by very large majority,
elected by the people High Constable OF the
city, and on the ex EXPIRATION of his first term
he was again elected by the Hastings Court
to the same position. He was afterwards
turned out Of Office when the other munich
pal officials were unseated by SchoGeld.
lie was full of wit and humor, agreeable
and excellent company, and universally
popular. He died in the faith OF Chris
tian; was sensible to the last said he was
willing to die; had made his peace with
God and gave all the directions about his
funeral. lie leaves a daughter, an aged
mother, two brothers, four sisters, and
many other devoted relatives. The Masonic
fraternity, Of which he was a member, will
oficiate at his funeral this morning at / l

Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,


and Consumption.


Probably never before in the whole history Of
medicine, has anything won so widely and SO deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long
series Of years, and among most of the races of
men it has risen higher and higher in their estima-
ton, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat, have made it known as re.
liable protector against them. While adapted to
milder forms of disease and to young children is
at the same time the most efectual remedy that can
be given for incipient consumption, and the dam
gerous affections of the throat and lungs AS a 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.
crabc, 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 Pectoral. 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
toraI they subsde 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 Pectoral in small and frequent doses.


For Cough and Cold, no better remedy car
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 OF
lungs, take the same course.
For WhoopinO Cough, give small doses three
or four times day.


For Group, give large and frequent doses until
the disease is overcome.


No family should be without the Cherry Pecto-
raj on hand to protect them, in case of attack,
irom the above complaints. Its timely use often
spares the patient great amount of suffering and
FISK, which he would incur by waiting until he
could get other aid. Parents keep in your houses

American Recognition Of tho French Re-


public.


The prompt and decisive manner in which
General Grant, as President OF the United
States. has instructed our Minister at Paris to
duly recognize the new provisional government
of France is an additional claim to the appro-
baton of the American people. Moreover, it
is but proper acknowledgment of the en-
thusiastic feeling with which our flag has been
hailed by the people of Paris in the moment
of their great transition, and the promptitude
of Jules Favre to inform our Executive of the
great event. At the same time it is just re-
buke to the petty renegades who, nurtured and
fed under republic can forms and by republican
federation, lose no opportunity to sneer at
similar institutions when established by any
other people.


sThat banner Of stars," said the venerable
crater and writer Victor Hugo at the ovation
| offered him In the French capital on Wednes-
day last-s'that banner Of stars" he said,
pointing to tho American flag, ''speaks to-day
| to Paris and to France, proc]aiming the mira
cles of power which are easy to great people
contending for great principle-the liberty
| Of every race, the fraternity of ALL And,
let us add, France needs now but fair chance
to shape her own destiny without interference
by reactionary intrigues, at home or abroad,
! in order to show the world that the republican
form Of government is for her, as
for us, the only true and stable one.
Her provisional government has been COM
bined without one single act Of violence,
aud its preliminary acts, 80 far as internal
management is concerned, are marked with
moderation and wisdom. Even the yelping
ours of monarchical conspiracy are abashed
and silent at Paris, aud the chief Of the Pro-
visional Ministry there receives with pro-
found gratitude and emotion the intelligence
that the great republic Of the West holds forth
her hand cordially and unreservedly to her
young sister In the East. This promptitude is
enc of the best American characteristics Of q
most timely and worthy American act The
mutual memories of 1776 are thereby fully
revived and warmed to fraternal heat again

The sentiment of the whole community re-
coils from the daily exhibit made by our


criminal records of murder by the knife and
pistol. The mania for this kind of crime ap-


pears to grow stronger in the city. Judging
from the police reports every morning we


seem to breathe the very air of murder. In


the domestic circle, In dens of drunkenness
and vice, in the open streets murder runs riot.


If we were to enumerate the number Of homi-
cides which have occurred within even one
week 1t would be appalling. They average at
least two cases of . notorious and brutal
character in every twenty-four hours. These
cases Of reckless or deliberate taking of human
life present variety of phases. Vengeance,
jealousy, ungoverned momentary passion are
the direct causes, but the indirect causes can
be traced, in nine cases out Of ton, to drunk
enness, produced by the use Of certain terrible
poisons, vended under numerous seductive
names. That more murderous and drunken
ARRAYS occur between Saturday midnight and
Monday morning is proof positive that they
have their origin In the ginshop; and yet these
places are supposed to be shut up during that
interval. The police are expected to see that
these dens are kept closed. How far they per-
form their duty in this respect the sergeant's
book at the different station houses on Monday
morning can best testify. We do not blame
the police. Perhaps they do their best to en-
force the law; but the fact is that certain
classes of the community are 80 utterly de-
moralized eaat tho open defiance of all law has
become tho rule with them.


The City Judge spoke wisely in his charge
to tho Grand Jury on Wednesday, when he
directed their especial attention to the fire.
quency of crimes by the knife and pistol, and
to the desperate condition of reckless disre-
gard for law into which large classes Of
society have fallen. Judge Bedford urged that
the time had come when the authorities should
make the desperadoes feel that retribution was
surely awaiting their crimes While calling
upon the Grand Jury to present indictments in
oil cases where charge Of murder has been
made clear to them, he promised for the Dis
trict Attorney and the courts that every aid
should be given to stem the torrent of crime.
We trust that it will turn out so, for the city
has become Of late the very hotbed of murder.

The way France has been swindled in regard
to her armies will naturally remind the
thoughtful reader Of the way things are done
in this metropolis and as we are naturally
supposed to be at the head of the progressive
spirit of the age 1t is something for France
to be up to us. 1t very frequently happened
in our old Street Department that there was q
striking discrepancy between the men of which
one foreman had charge in the street and the
men with which he was accredited on the pay
rolls. The rolls would say, perhaps, that he
had fifty men, and on pay day the
money would issue for the payment of
fifty men; but in fact the foreman would
only have twenty, though no one over heard
that the superiiuous pay for thirty men was
returned. BY this excellent system the streets
were kept in tolerable order and some amiable
men got rich. 1t now appears that the same
happily conceived system has 1ourshed in
France and has not strengthened the imperial
army. Pay there was issued for nearly five
hundred thousand men, and the country de-
voutly believed it had that many soldiers, but
pay was drawn for hundred thousand men
more than were in the army. Somebody got
rich, no doubt, but France has fallen.

Marshal MacMahoa, Duke of Magenta, was
mortally wounded at his final defeat near
Sedan, as commander of the Third army corps
in the present war. He was descendant of
an old princely Celtic family, which, after risk
ing and losing all in the cause of the Stuarts,
brought from Ireland to France their historic
name and ancestral qualities, and intermarred
with the ancient nobility of their adopted
country A French Marshals baton was never
bestowed upon Drawer or more skinul
soldier All are familiar with the deeds of his
heroic life, which has now been crowned by as
heroic death. Struggling against fearful
odds, sustaining the courage of his decimated
troops, he fell, terribly wounded, with his face
to the foe. If for brief time the currents of
his life blood continued to flow, it was not
only that he might display against lingering
torments the same undaunted courage which
had distinguished him in the shock of battle,
but also that in lucid intervals he might enjoy
the proud satisfaction of feeling that his
would be the death of hero. There has
been no more memorable illustration than
this of the noble old Roman adage-D0Ics et
decorum est pro pasria msors.





A LITTLE SIGN.--At Newcastle-on-Tyne,

date whose name had not been heard up to the

would the republican party have been? 1t

session of all the virtues, all the love for free

such Acknowledgement of France Nor should
Prussia be too exacting in money compensa-
ton for the cost Of the war; for France has
stupendous debt, and heavy demand of that
sort just now would tend to paralyze both the
action Of the new republican government and
the industry of the country Nothing would
tend 50 much to bury the memories Of the war,
to cement peace and to make the two nations
friends as magnanimity on the part Of Prussia-
as an effort on her part to raise France from
it's PROSTATE condition rather than to be OK
acting. It has been intimated that Prussia
would insist upon holding, at least for time,
some of the most important French fortresses
along the Rhine border as guarantee ofpeacs
This would seem reasonable and moderate
demand for the conquerer to make. Franco
could hardly resist that. 1t would certainly
be better to concede so much rather than
continue the war. But the proposition said to
have been suggested or made by Jules Favre
for general disarmament would be the best
security for peace and would save an endr-
nous sum of money to the people and govern
ments.


All the talk in France about fighting It out
to the last ditch or of not making peace while
Prussian soldier is on French soil is folly.
1t does very well to crafty the vanity and
soothe the wounded pride Of the French for
! time, but stern necessity and that solid wall
of Prussian bayonets--of three or four hundred
thousand men, composing, perhaps, the most
magnificent and best disciplined army that
ever existeis-must soon change this defiant
tone. France is not in position to continue the
war. She requires peace. The new republican
rovernrnent needs peace to keep down the
\ dangerous elements Of society and to establish
both its power and the liberties of the people.
This peace should come at once, before the
Prussians besiege Paris, before any further
humiliation and excitement occur. 1t is to be
hoped, therefore, that the republican govern
ment of France will meet King William before


he reaches tho walls OF Paris with terms o.

DANGERoUs.--A number of accidents have


occurred from the ignorant use of kerosene
that was not up to the standard FIRE test;
and still there is no abatement in the use OF
this dangerous fluid. We saw an article in
the Chicago Times Of yesterday on this sub
ject, stating the result of different expert
ments at an inquest held over the body of a
child, killed by the explosion of q lamp
filled with kerosene not up to the standard.
Every experiment showed that the only re-
liable and safe fluid was. kerosene, that was
of a hundred and tive nty degrees fire test,
and that the child's death was attributable
to the use of ''chesp" oil, that could not
stand the proper test. Our citizens should
know that kerosene that is capable of stand
ing a fire test at l20 degrees, cannot be
bought at retail at less than fifty cents
gallon at the present state of the
market, and that kerosene sold at lower
hgures cannot be safe, and should not be
bought Remember this, and do not buy
kerosene unless the dealer is perfectly
responsible and can guarantee the article he
sells. And If you have any doubts, it il
better to have the oil tested, than that you

II seems just now to be mooted
question among Des Moiners, TO
whom the chief honor belongs Of
procuring the passage Of tho Capitol
Bill. For our part, wo strongly
incline to tho opinion that it is
invidious to make distinction, whcro
all performed their part SO faithfully.
1t is truc that some may have had
bigger game in prospect than others,
and SO Of course would put in, or at
least attempt to put in bigger licks.
Some may have had fancy figures
on corner lots in view, others may
have hadfat contracts in anticipation,
and others again may have had thoir
eye on fat takes as money changers,
and still another may have seen
ten strike to make in Congressional
honors; but certainly oil from the
wealthicst, down to the poorest, and
humblest, could see here and there q
probable stray dollaraoating around
for them to get grab at, should the
thing win.

this newspaporial and street talk
comes in. Frank Palmer is in Con-
gress and Johnny Kasson wants to
get in and that is what's the matter.
Now VIC opposed the Capitol Appro-
priasion, but it has been made, and
we are content since we were over

feel like saying just this much viz:
If there is anactual, remote, probable,
or contingent reason why Palmer
should be turned out ut the close Of
his first term, or even at the close Of
any other term, and Kasson put in,
wc have failed to comprehend it.
