Mr. Thomas Hughes, the founder of the

Matthew Arnold shipped from Boston

countrv has been very Kind to llr. Arnold,
considering the unfavorable manner in
which he has criticised it iu the past. The
worst fi attire about his condemnation was
that it was entirely from hearsay evidence
and the reading ot a tew (not scpresenta
tive American journals. There are many
things here which are open to criticism,
but few foreigners are able to make a
proper discrimination as to w hat they are
without having resided in America long

We gave a short account some time ago
of a visit made by certain city officials of
St. Louis to inspect an extensive bed of
chert on the Iron Mountain Railroad. It
was intended to experiment with that ma
terial for street paving purposes. -AA'hen
they came back their report was quietly
pigeon-holed, and nothing has since been
heat dof the project. It has recently leak
ed out that the innocent officials did not
find the chert beds at all, but fell into the
hands of a rival quarry man, who guided
them far away from the stones they were
seeking. It may be that the explorers
were so well supplied with St. Louis’ pe
culiar provisions for the journey that they
did not know or care exactly what they
were looking for. Chert ia a kind of flint,
which is said to be much better than
limestone for paving or macadamizing
purposes, as it does not crush so easily
nor produce so much dust.
Investments in the SontU.
The Manufacturers' Record, of Balti
more, as appears from ottr dispatches,
published yesterday a statement showing
the amount of capital invested in manu
facturing and mining enterprises in the
south during the months of January and
February of this year. The amount, ac
cording to this statement, is $28,200,000.
Of this sum Georgia got $2,074,000. This
is a very remarkable showing. At this
rate it will pot be many years before the
s :uth will become the chief manufactur
ing section of the country. There Is no
doubt that Northern capital is quietly but
surely flowing into the South in vast
amounts. The amount of this capital is
not realized until a summary like that of
the Manufacture rF Record is made up
and published. There is no reason to
doubt that investments in the south "ill in
crease from month to month and from year
to year. They certainly will continue to
increase long as they prove to be protit
abl . and there is no reason why they
- .-.ild not prove to be profitable for an
:• finite peri 1. The south is rich in
i.r u’.tur.ti and mineral resources, and
s'„ . b ad vantages for manufacturing pos
- .. ,i ’.y r. ■> other section. She has an ex
• .. -r.t dim ate and plenty of water-power.
- ■ i w manufactures iron more cheaply
than it can be manufacture?! anywhere
else in this country, and with a little
r:; re experience and capital she will be
able to manufacture ail kinds of cotton
g • >i- as cheaply as they can be manu
f.. tuned in any other part of the world.
Ti e value of the sweet eum and other
w- • j, of the South is just beginning to be
appreciated. It will no; be long before
fu tori* ? will be established to manufac
ture thes woods into furniture and into
railway passenger and sleeping cars.
Every dollar that is invested in
the v>uth is pretty certain to
cause the investment of two more
dollars. The expositioa at New Or
!• .n-. beginning next December, will
make the south's undeveloped riches
f.ir more generally known than they are
a* pri -,ent, an 1 will draw to her both im
migrants and capital. Tae M<vo
f,v:turzrT Record will be able hence
forth to show, doubtless, thatevery month
the investments in factories and mines
at the south are greater than the previous
month.
Europe'? Dynamite Troubles.
There Is a movement in Europe, it
..... ms. to secure co-operation in demand
ing ot the Government of the United states
legislation against dynamite emissaries.
It is pretty certain that this movement
wid never amount to anything. Before
even a demand for such legislation enn
be made reasonably, it must be shows
that the dynamite Is manufactured in this
country and is carried to Europe by emis
saries for unlawful purposes. It is proba
ble that nothing of this kind can be
shown. What is the advantage of carry
in . dynamite from this country to England
when all the materials to manufacture it
can be obtained there as cheaply as here,
and can be manufactured there with little
probability of being discovered? The fact
that the dynamite is not carried from this
country is pretty conclusively shown by
the fact that custom house officers search
the baggage of all passengers thor
oughly. England is better able to protect
herself from dynamite mauutactured in
tois country than the United States Is to
protect her. If her officers are diligent
no dynamite from this country can
be landed. The truth is, probably, that
the dynamite used with such terrible effect
in London lately was manufactured there,
and that those who were the authors and
executors of the dynamite plots were not
American citizens. The time hasn't
come yet for demanding from this coirntry
protection against dynamite fiends. Our
responsibility will have to be much more
clearly ohown. England is hardly iu a
position to make a demand of any kind on
this country in connection with this
dynamite business. The Nihilists and
other political conspirators from every
part ot Europe find an asylum in London.
It will be, probably, some time yet before
this country undertakes the work of huut
tng down dynamite, conspirators for the
protection of England or any other Euro
pean country. But there is no sympathy
In this country with the dynamite war
fare.
Complaints About Nuisances.
A few days ago we published a commu
nication complaining of the free way cows
are allowed to wander about the streets
and interfere with the rights of citizens.
The writer oi the communication declar
ed that he was prevented from displaying
his merchandise in front of his store, be
cause the cows would destroy it. Yes
terday we published a long list ot com
plaints trom a correspondent who appears
to Lave made an exertion to discover
how many of the city ordinances
were not enforced. This morning
we publish a communication irom a drug
gist who does business on the outskirts of
the city, complaining that customers are
kept away from his store by a crowd of
baif-growu boys and young men, who
assemble in taut vicinity every night and
swear, quarrel and fight until a late hour.
He wants to know if he cannot be pro
tected from such a nuisance. He certainly
ought to be protected. lie says that he
pays tne same for protection that a mer
chant on llroughton or Bull street does, and
therefore thinks that he ought to be treated
with the same consideration. AVe do not
pretend to know how much foundation
there is to all these complaints, but take
it lor granted there is some. If those
citizens who feel aggrieved would carry
a petition to the City Council asking for au
abatement of the nuisances of which they
complain, they would succeed, doubtless,
in having their grievances attended to.
It can hardly be that the City Council
and the police are willfully neglectful of
the Unties which devolve upon them.
It may be, however, that they have be
come a little neglectful.
Overdoing It a Little.
An Atlanta correspondent says, in one
of his dispatches to a New York paper,
that ‘-the press of the State (Georgia)
generally is bubbling over with enthusi
asm for Tilden, and when the convention
meets no man will secure a place on the
delegation to Chicago whose attitude an
tagonizes this sentiment.” The dispatch
appeared in a Republican paper. Of
course no well-informed Democratic
paper that cared to keep its readers
well informed would print such a wild
statement. The correspondent may have
been perfectly sincere when he wrote his
dispatch, but probably he feels by this
time that he was a little hasty in making
up his mind. There may be in Atlanta a
wild desire to whoop-up Tilden, but this
desire hasn't cropped out to any marked
extent iu any other part of tfie State.
Since 18*0 Tilden hasn’t done anything
that should cause the press of the
State to bubble over with enthusiasm for
him, and at that time there was no very
marked sentiment iu his favor. Iu some
quarters he may be regarded as an avail- ,
able candidate, but the correspondent j
would find it difficult to detect any of the ;
“bubbling” enthusiasm of which he writes
so confidently.
It is not necessary for those who may
have an attack of the gold fever to travel
a couple ot thousand miles or more to try
their fortunes among the mountains of
Idaho. It has been long known that
Georgia has an abundant supply of gold
bearing quartz and “pay dirt.” In a re
cent number of the Mining lieeord an
engineer gives an account of the opera
tions of the English Gold Mining Com
pany, operating in North Georgia. The
capital stock is £400.000; the total work
ing expenses are under 30 per cent, of the
production, and the company nets from
$300,000 to $300,000 per annum. It takes
large capital to insure success in mining
in Georgia or anywhere else. The time
has passed when a man can take a shovel
and wooden bowl and make a fortune in
a few weeks.
Senator Frye, of Maine, is suspected of
being a secret partner of John Roach.
He put away the bloody shirt in New Or
leans the other day long enough to make
a speech iu which he said that if he could
have his way he would appropriate $12,-
000,000 every year for steamship sub
sidies. It is a good thing for the country
that Senator Frye is not going to be al
lowed to have his way.
Silver and Greenbacks.
The fact that little or nothing has been
said about the decision rendered by the
Supreme Court in the legal tender case :
last Mondav, in which it was held that a
tender iu treasury notes, reissue-d and put
in circulation under the act of May 31.
Is7s. was a tender of lawful money in
payment of debts, is exciting, it seems,
some comment in Wastnngton. The New
York Herald has interviews from quite a
number of Senators and Representatives,
who say that they regard the decision as
a great and far-reaching calamity. They
think it will open the door to attempts to
an exclusively greenback currency. One
senator said that the decision would have
a tendency to cheek any disposition to
?t "P the coinage of silver. He regarded
the silver dollar better than a legal tender
m te. une of the parties interviewed put
the matter this way: It is not improba
ble that the Morrison bill will not
be passed this year, and probably not
next year, if it should not be passed by
thi> Congress it is pretty certain that
there will be no reduction of the revenue
for at least three years. The surplus will
continue to be about $ 100.000,000 a year,
and it will, of course, be Used to pay the
bonds. The payment of the bonds will,
of course, tend to contract the national
bank circulation. Secause it will di
prive the banks of their basis ot cir
culation. Then will come the cry
for greenbacks to keep up the circulation.
The supreme Court having declared that
the legal tender notes are money, the next
move will he to make them receivable for
customs dues. That will drive gold out
of circulation, and we shall become sub
stantially a silver country. There has
been a good deal of sensational talk
lately about the currency of tLe
country, and these interviews in
the Herabi are in harmony with
it. The shipment of a few millions
of gold to Europe within the last month
or two, and the offer of a small premium
for gold on one or two occasions, has been
seized upon as indicating that gold w as
about to be driven out of circulation. A
statement published by the Treasury De
partment Wednesday shows that there
was over $37,000,000 more coin in the
country at the close of last year than theiq
was at the close of the previous year.
While, therefore, there is some reason to
apprehend evils from the continued coin
age ol silver and from the legal tender de
cision. there is no immediate reason for
fearing that gold will tiecome de
monetized on account of continued silver
coinage or that the eoiyitry will become
flooded with greenbacks as the indirect
consequence of the leiral tender decision.
If one is to judge by the delay of the
German Minister in returning the Lasker
r solution, in obedience to the instruc
tions of l’rince Bismarck, the indignation
of the German Liberals and feeling in this
country on account of this action of the
Chancellor have not been without effect
on him. It is stated that the resolution
has been in the hands of Baron von
Eisendecker, at Washington, for some ten
or twelve days, but that it has been
held by him in obedience to telegraphic
instructions from Berlin. The probabili
ties are that Prince Bismarck regrets the
course he pursued in the matter. The
German diplomats seem now quite anx
ious to impress the Washington authori
ties that the return of the resolution is
not an unfriendly act. At any rate it is
stated that the German Minister at Wash
ington has used his influence to secure a
suppression of the subject on the part ol
the House of Representatives. The ob
stacle in his way seems to be a threat of
Gov. Curtin to move an investigation of
the relations between the United States
aud Germany as soon as the resolution
is returned.
The denial of Col. Quay that he was ac
tively enlisted in the interests of Presi
dent Arthur seems to have been merely
one of the formal prevarications with
which distinguished politicians are ac
customed to amuse the people. The
Washington correspondent of the Spring
field Republican on the 3d inst. telegraph
ed to that paper that “the President gave
notice to-day that he had committed his
interests in Pennsylvania to Col. Matt
Quav. In other worus, he nominated
John M. Vanderslice to be pension agent
at Philadelphia, in spite of strong protests
from the Philadelphia Congressman. This
is Quay’s appointment, and it is made for
the purpose of using the office for all it is
worth.” Quay is said to be in full posses
sion of the Republican machine in Penn
sylvania, and this appointment is doubt
less a proof that some arrangement has
been entered into which will give Arthur
some support from Pennsylvania in the
convention, although that State is thought
to be decidedly in lavor of Blaine.

for re-election by such means. In this sitate

Th great fifty-ton hammer in Krupp's
Works at Essen gained its name “Unser

1877. the Emperor William visited Essen, this
, steam hammer attracted hie attention. Krupp
presented him to the machinist, Fritz, who,
he said, handled the hammer with such nicety
and precision as not to injure or touch an ob
ject placed in the centre of the block. The
Emperor at once put his diamond-studded
watch on the spot indicated, and beckoned to
the machinist to set the hammer in motion.
Fritz hesitated, out of consideration for the
precious object, but Krupp urged nim on by
saying, "Fritz, let fivl” Down came the ham
mer, "and the watch remained untouched.
The Emperor gave it to the machin.st as a
souvenir, and Krupp added 1,009 mark? to the
present.

AVAR. OX THE CHESAPEAKE.
Oystermen Again flanging Away at Each
Other with Disastrous Effect.
The restless oystermen are again bang
ing away at each other on the Chesapeake,
says a Baltimore special of March 4 to
the New A’ork IFoWd. Saturday a fleet of
oyster pirates put into the bay and began
dredging on the tongmen’s beds, almost
within pistol shot of Poplar Island, driv
inir off the proprietors of the beds. These
quickly raised the alarm and the entire
male population of the island flocked to
the rescue of the beds. The flying artil
lery, consisting of a dilapidated old piece
oi cannon on two wagon wheels, was lim
bered and rushed down to the shore,loaded
and aimed at the pirates, who were gazing
iut the shore wondering what was going
on. They soon found out. The impromptu
gunners' hurriedly built a fire of twigs, on
which they heated a poker red-hot, and
with it touched off the gun. The aim was
good, and although the old blunderbuss
recoiled ten feet, the Gall knocked the bow
sprit and jibboom off of one schooner,
bringing down her sails and stays. The
astonished pirates opened a lively tire
with rifles in return, but the effective
work of the old gun distracted their atten
tion. They made a hasty retreat after
having another vessel hulled and her
rnainboom knocked overboard, while a
third lost her loretopmast. No one on
shore was hurt, and the pirates have not
been seen since.
Yesterday pirates appeared off Tilgh
rnan’s Island, and the tongmen got their
battery and went for them Lively, the pi
rates beating a quick retreat.
INDIAN TREATY DEFEATED.
Onondaga# In Council Over tHe Meas
ure—Fighting Intermingled with Vot
ing.
The greatest excitement known on the
Onondaga Indian reservation for scores
of years, says a Syracuse ; N. Y.) special
of the 4th instant to the New York Herald.
prevailed from early morning to late in
the evening yesterday. The Chiefs, war
riors and young bucks crowded the coun
cil house all day, while the squaws, youth
and pappeoses braved the storm outside
and stood silent listeners to the storm
that increased within. The council was
called for 10 a. m.. and continued without
interruption, except by the tumult and
warlike demonstration’s, until evening.
No intermission was allowed, and at mid
night warriors and squaws were seen re
turning to their eabius in the forests, fol
lowing their narrow, crooked trails
through the snow, and either grunting
their satisfaction or displeasure with the
j result of the council.
La-t fall Gov. Cleveland appointed a
commission of three white men to act
with a committee of five Indians trom the
i Onondagas to frame anew treaty with tbe
State. The committee consisted ot three
| pagau and two Christian Indians. The
■ terms of a treaty were arrived at, in
i which the Christians fully coincided, and
with which the pagans were supposed to
i be satisfied. It provided tor a division ot
; tbe lands of the reservation, laws relative
to marriage, schools and government, the
1 latter of which was to do away with a
part of the power of the chiefs. There
were also sections for the protection oi
j the forests and extensive stone quarries.
Tne white Commissioners and three of
' the Indian .committee signed the new
treaty, the other two chiefs. Daniel Laforte
: and Orris Farmer, would not sign it
! until they had submitted its provisions to
' their people. If by a majority vote the
, treaty was ratified 'by the Indians then
Gov. Cleveland was’to sign it. Laforte
and F armer were decidedly opposed to it,
as it would curtail their powers as chiefs,
so they decided to have the council held
yesterday.
Soon after daybreak sialwart braves
were seen stalking reward the traditional
council house, followed at a distance by
their squaws and pappooses. The council
house is a long, low wooden building, the
rafters of which are black with smoke,
and its floor has done service for ages.
Only those w ho were entitled to vote were
admitted. There was hardly a word
spoken. There was no caucusing or but
tonholing. and only an occasional grunt
could be heard until tbe hour tor organiz
ing. Then Baptist Thomas, in a low,
guttural tone, moved that Chief Daniel
Laforte act as Chairman. lie declined.as
he thought that it would not be for his in
terest, and ill feeling immediately began
to show itself. There were excited ges
tures and expressions in their native
tongue. When quiet was restored Jarvis
Pierce took the chair, amid many grunts
of approval. Cusic Albert was appointed
Secretary; Baptist Thomas and Samuel
Isaacs, tellers; Daniel Laforte and Jami
son L. Thomas, counters, and Jacob
Skenadoab, inspector. J. Griffin acted as
interpreter of the proceedings, as has
been his custom for the last twenty years.
Each section of the treaty was voted on
separately, the one curtailing the power
of the chiefs being first. The interpreter
explained it at great length. A ballot
was taken and the Council became di
vided, wild gesticulations followed, and,
before interference could be made, there
were several band to hand combats, and
tbe general disorder increased until it
seemed as if the old times of barbarism
had returned. The crowd took up tbe
err from the outside, and the council
house was fairly besieged. Bloodshed
seemed imminent during the more than
j two hours which passed before anything
! like quiet was restored. Threats" were
! frequent against one another's lives, but
some of the chiefs who were more eool
; headed again succeeded in restoring or
der. The result of the baiot was declared
as 28 against, the treaty, 14 for it and 0
i blanks. There was tbe" same excitement
and commotion over every ballot, but the
Christians would uot acknowledge their
defeat till twelve ballots had been taken.
The same result was announced on each
ballot, and accordingly the treaty is de
feated, aud the Indians will plod along
! in the same rut as has been their wont
' for years back, it is a great disappoiut
! ment to all of the citizens of Onondaga
j county, who are acquainted with Indian
! ways and the general immorality which
| exists on the reservation.
A WAR-DANCE IN OHIO.
Tbe Victim of a Church How Placed on
a .Stamp and Hi# perseentors Prance
About, Flourishing Revolvers.
Reports caine to-night from Corning,
Ohio, says a Columbus special of the 3d
i inst. to the Chicago I'im&s, iu Sunday
I Creek Valley, concerning an affair grow
ing out ot a feuil existing between A. J.
! McDevitt, of the drug firm of McDevitt &.
-Miller, aud the pastor of the Corning
Rev. B. M. O’Boylan.
McDevitt, though a Catholic, left the
church because of his dissatisfaction with
the priest, and claims that the latter, fail
ing to get him back, lost no opportunity
; to persecute him. The afl'uir seemed to
| have culminated at a receut church fair,
> when the priest caused McDevitt to be
1 ejected from the hall. Then McDevitt
i caused the arrest of the priest on the
; charge of running a gambling device at
i the fair. Members of the congregation
j then appealed to McDevitt not to appear,
I as they did uot w ish the church further
j scandalized, promising that he should not
j be further molested, in case he would
! comply. Under these circumstances Mc-
Devitt failed to appear, and allowed the
case to be dismissed.
Then a statement appeared, alleged to
have been written at the instigation of
tbe priest, saying that the prosecution
was instigated by malice, and making a
furious attack upon McDevitt, Who was
called a murderer, and his character held
up to contempt. McDevitt replied, giving
tne alleged facts as to the arrest, and
i justifying his own conduct in the matter.
Yesterday the church adopted resolutions
condemning McDevitt and supporting
O’Boy ian in what he had done and said.
Lust night a crowd ol twenty or thirty
men went to the drug store ot McDevitt
and took him, without uat or coat, about
three miles out in the country, where
they placed him on a stump, and with
revolvers held a war-dance, and exacted
from him a promise that he would
retract all that he had said about O’Boy
lan and the church. They further made
him promise not to come back to Corning,
and McDevitt went on to Nelsonville. He
has telegraphed to friends to meet him
here to-morrow, as the crowd which drove
him out has been making threats to-day
as to what they would do should he re
turn. The greatest excitement prevails
at Corning. O’Boylan came to this citv
to-night accompanied by four or hve of
those who it is said made the assault on
McDevitt. 11c is at the residence of the
Bishop, it is thought, to receive advice.
McDevitt will be here to-morrow, where
ho will meet his friends and the Sheriff of
l’erry county, and a settlement will pro
bably be made between the parties, or
legal steps taken to prevent further con
fliet of such a character,
A dispatch of March 4 says: Aug. J.
McDevitt is at New Straitsville to-day.
Sneriff Crosbie, of New Lexington, is at
Corning with a large posse. After swear
ing in tvventy-flve constables at that place
he arrested all the men known to have
been in tbe mob. He also arrested a large
numlier of persons merely suspected of
being connected with the outrage and
took about t wenty-five of them to New
Lexington. The excitement here is greatly
increased by this proceeding. *
Father O’Boylan has been called to
Columbus by Bishop Watterson. it is
the belief of many Catholics that he will
be severely reprimanded if not suspended
for his rashness, it is also reported that
McDevitt will go ta Columbus to-night to
have a conference with the Bishop, and
if so it is the inference that an effort will
be made to patch up a peace between him
and Father O'Boylan. McDevitt was a
Catholic, but left the church, not because
ot any change in his religious faith, hut of
personal trouble with the priest. After
leaving the church he atteuded a Catholic
lair about two weeks ago, from which
F’alher O' Boy lan caused him to be ejected.
Then a series of spats and skirmishes
took place between the priest and the
druggist.
The Botany of Egyptian Tombs.
Among tbe remains of flowers found on
wreaths accompanying mummies of the
twenty-first dynasty of Egypt ( 3,000 years
ago ) was a small variety of the common
European red poppy, a plant which does
not occur at the present time in the Nile
Valley, though it is abundant on the sea- j
coast; a broad headed ceutury now found
in Persia and Afghanistan, and complete
ilower heads of Picris coronopifolta, a
plant found only ou the borders of the de
sert. wtcre the" Nile waters reach by in
filtration. Other flowers used in these
wreaths were the blue water lily and
a tree-mallow and a larkspur, which
have their present home in Central
Asia. Probably tbe foreign flowers were
cultivated by ’ the ancient Egyptians.
These garlands contained also the folded
leaves of a willow, strung on threads
made of the date palin, and serving as
clasps. In a vault dating at least 2200
R. C. were found grains of barley and
wheat, tubers of a sedge ( Cuperus esc a- '
lenla), tigs, fruits of the hyphane palm, j
pine cones, beans, capsules of flax aud ,
pods of wild mustard, aud a broom made j
from a composite common upon the banks I
of the Nile—precisely similar to the hard
brooms made from the same plant at the
.'(lay. Tj.e pine cones as well a
the juniper berires found in other tombs
point to eui'jnereial relations with
Greece, Asia Minor and Syria, as the
species are not Egyptian.
KKMINTSCENCES OP UOCHESTEK
The Falls of the Geneses and Sam
Fateh's Fata] Leap—One of Its Busi
ness Houses and its Great Magnitude.
The present floods, which are either de
vastating or threatening the country in
every direction, are justly eaqse for appre
hension. No matter whether they come
suddenly or by slow degrees they are, in
either case, a great evil and much to be
dreaded, and yet America will always be
troubled by these spring overflows. Prob
ably one of the most disastrous that was
ever known occurred in Rochester. N. V.,
about twenty years ago. The Genesee
river, just above jtbe falls, where Sam
Patch made his final and fatal leap, be
came completely blockaded by ice. form
ing an impassable dam, and the water
coining down the Genesee river over
flowed the principal portion of the city
of Rochester. This catastrophe would
have been related the present vear
had not the energy and fore
sight of the city authorities pre
vented it. The writer happened to be in
Rochester at that time and was greatly
interested in the manner in which this
great catastrophe was averted. Every
few moments, a roar like the peals of
thunder or the booming of cannon would
be heard, and in order to see this ice blast
ing process the writer went to the top cf
the new Warner building, which over
looks the Genesee river. From here he
was not only enabled to see the process
uninterruptedly, but also the magnificent
building which has just been completed.
This is unquestionably the finest building
devoted to business and manufacturing
purposes in America, being entirely fire
proof. eight stories high, and containing
over four and a quarter acres of flooring.
Mr. Warner treated your correspondent
very courteously, and in the course of the
conversation said:
“We are doing a tremendous business
and are far behind in our orders. This is
the season of the year when people, no
matter how strong their constitution may
be, feel, more or less, the pain and indis
position, the headaches, colds, neuralgia,
rheumatism, dull pains, sore throats,
coughs—all the 1,001 ills that flesh is heir
to come this time of the year, if at all. It
is natural, therefore, that we should be
very busy. This is specially true of our
Safe Rheumatic Cure, and it’is crowding
us very sharply for anew remedy.”
“Singular, but I had forgotten that you
do not advertise to cure all diseases from
one bottle, as is done generally by many
other medicine men, but I supposed War
ner’s Safe Cure was for the cure o t rheu
matism.”
“And so it has been until our remedy,
which was especially for rheumatism and
neuralgia, was introduced. We have been
three years perfecting this new remedy.
Study first taught us there were certain
powerful elements in Warner’s Safe Cure,
better known as Warner's Safe Kidney
and Liver Cure, that made wonderful
cures in chronfb aud acute rheumatism,
but during our investigation we learned
of a remarkable cure at a celebrated
springs, and put experts to investigate
anti found that the springs did not contain
any valuable properties, but the course of
treatment that was being given there was
performing ail the benefit. By carefully
combining the active principles of this
remedy with our Safe Cure, we have pro
duced our Safe Rheumatic Cure, and the
cures it is effecting are simply wonderful,
and Ido not doubt it will become as pop
ular as our Safe Cure.”
“You seem to talk freely in regard to
your remedies and appear to have no se
crets, Mr. Warner.”
“None whatever. The physician, with
his hundred calls and one huudred dis
eases, is necessarily compelled to guess at
a great deal. We are enabled to follow
up and perfect, while physicians can only
experiment with their huudred patients
and hundred diseases. IVith the ordinary
physician, the code binds him down, so
that if he makes a discovery, he is bound
to give it to the other physicians, which,
of course, discourages investigation to a
great extent. This is why the great dis
coveries in medical science of late years
have been made by chemists and scien
tists and not by physicians, and it in a
measure accounts for the great value of
our remedies, also for the remarkable suc
cess of all those doctors who make a
specialty of one or two diseases.”
“And you find that you are curing as
great a number of people as ever before?”
“Yes. a far greater number. We never
Sold so much of our medicine as now, and
never knew of so many remarkable cures.”
The writer departed after the above in
terview, but was greatly impressed, not
only by the sincerity of Mr. Warner, but
by the vastness of all he saw. Mr. War
ner’s medicines are used throughout the
entire length and breadth of the land, and
we doubt not the result they are effecting
are really as wonderful as' they are re
lated to be.
THE TORPEDO BOAT ALARM.
Some* Interesting Facts About Admiral
Porter's Great Invention.
Among the vessels which are authorized
to be constructed for the navy In the bill
presented in the Senate on Monday, says
the New York Herald, is one like the tor
pedo boat Alarm, designed by Admiral
l’orter. Hence a brief description of the
Alarm, which has recently had several
improvements completed, will be of
interest. The Alarm was designed
as a cruising torpedo boat, carrying a bow
gun, and intended for service not only
in rivers, bays, and harbors, but along the
sea coast; in fact, tor use under any of the
conditions of literal warfare, aud iier di
mensions and form were peculiarly
adapted by the designer for that purpose.
The hull is of-iron and the forward portion
below the water surface forms a species
of tube for the support and manu uvering
of the main torpedo spar, which is capa
ble of carrying and sustaining the reac
tion of a torpedo of such size that its
discharge in proximity to the hull of the
largest vessel could not fail to prove in
stantaneously destructive. The spar is
operated in the hold of the vessel by
proper mechanism.
Above the water surface the forward
portion ol the hull is recessed, and the
principal gun is placed close to what ap
l>ears to be the stem, over which it fires
in the straight-line direction. The bow
of the hull above the water surface is pro
tected by armor plates one and a half
inches thick, which is an efficient defense,
as the vessel has the power under all
circumstances of either advance or re
treat, of keeping bow on to a foe, whose
shot would consequently be deflected un
der a very acute angle.
The gun has no carriage, in theordinary
meaning of the term, the hull itself act
ing as the carriage, the gun being mova
ble in only the fore-and-aft direction on
slides, and depending for training on the
steering screw, which is aiso the pro
peller. Owing to this mode of supporting
and using the gun, the Alarm can be
mounted with one of the largest size.
The vessel is thus not only a torpedo-boat,
but a gun-boat, solving the important
problem of carrying the maximum gun
on the minimum hull and having a direct
fore-and-att fire, with a capacitv of
prompt and accurate aiming in azimuth
not obtainable by any other method.
The length of the vessel on deck is 141
feet; her extreme length is 173 2-10 leet,
and length on water line 172 feet; extreme
breadth, 28 feet; height from bottom of
keel plate to top of wooden deck, 14 7-10
feet; displacement, TOO tons; weight of
hull, 355 tons; weight of armor, 15 tons.
The hull is of iron and armored on the
upper portion of the bows with iron plates
ljs inches thick, extending from the deck
to a little below the water line. There is
no wooden sheathing coppered, no
apare, no rudder, and no keel. The
lower portion of the bow at the bot
tom of the hull is carried forward
into a beaker snout fifteen feet before the
forward end of the water line. This beak
carries the spar or pole to which the tor
pedo is affixed, which spar is run out and
in horizontally from the vessel’s hold
without the exposure of the men working
it. The hull has a double bottom, which,
when filled with water, increases the
draught from 10 feet to 11 feet 1 inch.
There are two horizontal compound en
gines of the tandem type, which gave the
vessel a developed speed of nino knots an
hour on a recent trial trip.
THE HANCOCK CAMPAIGN.
The Account Book* of the Democratic
Itational Committee Thrown Open.
Several important things, as yet un
known to the country, says a Washington
special to the New York Sun ot\ilarch 4,
occurred at the recent meeting of the
Democratic National Coinmitf’e in this
city. For instance, the Treasurer of the
comm ittee reported every reasonable claim
upon him adjusted and paid in fall, and
$l,BOO cash in his hands. The Injoks were
there to show every dollar of receipts and
every dollar of the expenditures. There
w as nothing to oonoeal, either as to where
the money came from or where it went to.
shortly after the Presidential election
of 1880 it was charged by many Demo
crats, and the charge was elaborated in a
prominent Democratic newspaper of the
West, that the lion. Samuel J. Tilden,
piqued at the failure of the llemocracy to
force upon him a nomination which he
had formally and voluntarily declined,
secretly endeavored to effect Gen. Han
cock’s ’ defeat, working particularly
through his trusty friends in the all
important State of New York.
If any member of the National Com
mittee was weak enough to believe this j
charge, what must have been his surprise,
upon looking at the books placed before
him, to find that sums were subscribed
and paid as follows:
