Trial Bottles Free at Win. Rawlings Drug Storo. MilTCK. (From our regular Correspondent.) Washington, D. O , Feb. 9, 1891. Sam. P, Jones. W. W. Dudley, of “blocks of five" noto riety and ex-Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson, both shining lights in tho repub lican national committee, are, if my inform ant isn’t mistaken, and he assures mo that lie isn’t, now handling "blocks of live," liundrod dollar bills, as the disbutsieg officials of Jay Gonld’s Western Union Telegraph lobby, which is said to have divided $50,000 among certain members of the House for tho purpose of defeating Mr. Wunamakor’s postal trio- graph bill. Tho Dill lias really uovor had much ch.inco of gutting through, because of a lack ofgeuoral iulorost in it, hut Dudley and OlurltHon made Gould beliove that it was curtain to go through unless something was promptly done to prevont it, and ihe particu lar “something" in this oaso was tho paying out of a big pile of tho little wizard’s money. Another scheme backed by a big lobby is the Nicaragua Canal company's bill making the United states Government endorse $100,- 000,(JU0 of its bonds. This lubby is made up ol members of both political parties, and all of them uro either officials or ex-offioluls of oitlior tho House or Simula,whioh gives them unexcelled facilities for ronching Congress men, laciiitios that they have not neglected. l'be bill will pass the Seuato without a doubt, but hy the time tho House heats from tho oountry it will probably strike a big suag. although tho lobby hopes to rush it through during the closing hours. Tue administration schnmo lor killing the free coinage hill is now boiug boldly worked by the uuti-silvur majority of the ilouso com- milteo on ooinage. It gives Mr. Harrison two chances ol killing the bill without sqtiai*- ly vetoing it. Tbe aim is to keep the hill in committee uudor pretense of "heariugs" uu- lil within ten dnys of the end oi the session; then it will be roported. If the House has time to vote upon it, and passes it, Mr. Hur- risou may than quietly dispose of it by what is know n os a "pocket” veto, by nut sigoiug it previous to tho expiration of the Fifty-first Congress. The anti-silvoritesj claim that the vote of the House—114 to 127—sustaining a decision of the Speaker declaring Mr Bland's motion to attach tho free coinage bill as an amend ment to an appropriation hill to be out of order, malios it certain that tbo free coinage bill caunot pass, bat the claim is not based upou a solid foundation. Thorn wero only eleven republicans who voted against sustain ing the Speaker, and it is well known that h larger number ol repuhli- lias frequently declined political prefeiinont but never refuses to ho put into any working position in tho very frout rank of any move" mint that promises to help on tho devolop mint of his city, his state, or the south, and his hoad, liund and purse are always at the public service. Captain Dark was a special friend of tho lamented Jefferson DaviH, and when he died Mrs. Davi* selected bin* ns one of the distinguished pall-bearers to lay tho mortal remains of Die gieat statesman in their final resting pi too Colonel Dark is a gentleman of fine military bearing, thorough oultare, liboral impulses and wide-spread popularity, and no member of Governor Northern's stoff will more worthily wear tho honors of snob a position or use it to moro . fl'ootunlly promote the public interest.".— Macon Evoning News, 9th inst Mullein Better than Cod Liver Oil.

When it is understood that thess tablets of stone are letters passed bhtween tho king of Jerusalem and tho Pharaoh of Egypt 400 years before tho birth of Da vid, who was tho father of Solomon, some notion will bo formed of their ex treme interest. These letters were writ ten, so Dr. OyrtiH Adlor told a Washing ton reporter, about the year 1500 U. C; mid cast a great light upou the relations ef Egypt at that ancient epoch. This, of ooiu'im, was long bwforo Jerusalem was captured by tho Jows. At tbut-timo Palestine was a federa tion of independent cities, ouch of which, like Jerusalem, was governed by a “pre fect"—this word meaning literally “king of a city." Nevertheless, theso towns paid a tribute to Pharaoh, and it was iu relation to' this tribute that several of tho letters found wero uddreasixl to tho rulor of Egypt by tlio king of Jerusalem, Abdi-Tuba. In them he trios to expluiu, with duo respeut, that he oocufiies a uiuro independent position than tho othor prefects, and ought to bo treated accordingly. Fur ox ample, in ono mis sive ho says : "tWiaki« UtittoJjy^ of JuMMinMt 1 *tfi*M*’ my CtfCksr nor my m other bps gkm unto mu, but tho tt&l of a mighty king.” 'Uki* mtm* tfo Mietfwt (WMak Palestine, by whioh rulers wnsc some time* chosen in consequence of u sup- jxiMud divino call and without any refer ence to hereditary law. Having been summoned to Ills throne by tho Deity, Abdi-Taba orguod that lie should be treated moro leniently with regal'd to tribute. In another of tire letters he says:— "Behold, neither my father nor. my mother lias appointed me in this plnco, bnt the oall of the mighty king has made me Miter into the house of my fatliers." That tlio “mighty'king” spoken of was tho Deity is proven by the fact that to firm os authority is referred an oracle tn- seribod upon another .tablet, which says that “as long as a ship sails upon the sea so lung will Mesopotamia arid Baby lonia conquer." Tbe chief aim of the threw other letters written by Abdi-Taba is to ask the Pha raoh for military aid against foreign con querors in fading Palestine, and especial ly tiro district of Jerusalem. Theso war like strangers he coils people of Habud —in otlior words, they were Hebrews. It seems hardly probable that the He brews as a nation should have invaded Palestine at so early a,date, and su it is likely that these were some advanced tribes of Israel which settled down west of the Jordan and mode incursions from time to time. In one of the letters on this subject Abdi-Taba says’: "The Habiri people ore conquering the cities of the king"—i. o.. the cities tribu tary to tbe Phuradh—“therefore the king may tarn his face to ids subjects nnd send troops. If the troops arrive thiB year tho countries of the king, my lord, may be saved, but if no troops arrive tlio countries of the king, my lord, will exist no longer.” This tremoudous “find” at Tell-el- Amaria includes 200 tablets, largely of Babylonian cuneiform script, which is thus discovered for the first time to have been in use at so early a period in Egypt and Palestine. Many of the other tab lets aro dispatches of about the same date from prefects of othor cities of Pal estine to tho Pharaoh. Some- of the in scriptions aro in an unknown language, which no one has so far been able to translate. It is funny to think that Solo mon himself would have looked upon theso tablets as remote antiquities.— Washington Star.
