The offerings were 332 tubs, and the sa!*^ 314 tubs. I^A frightful accident occurred <n the New York Central Railroad, near Garrison's Station, N. Y., just at day­ break on Sunday morning last. The fast Buffalo Express, with a train load of slumbering passengers, made an awful leap into the deep waters of the Hudson river, resulting ip the death of the engi­ neer and fireman, and twenty-eight passengers, jgTlt is reported that among the •feck: many abuses corrected by the present some time making gestures of all kinds as he proceeded with his speech. As he warmed up his gestures resembled those of a drowning man trying to reach shore or of a beginner iti DelsarteJ and he rushed down the aisle like a maddened bull, slapping his colleagues on the back and clapping his hands together as he proceeded. His voice was keyed to the highest pitch, and to emphasize what he was saying he occasionally let slip into his discoufse^iialf dozen words or eo that would not look well in the public prints. When Cannon took his seat; after making this firey and vehement speech he was one of the best known men on the floor of the House. Members put their heads together and whispered to each other, 'This fellow Cannon, must be some sort of a man.' And they were right too, for Uncle. Joe has made himself a power not only inside but outside the Halls of Congress. He is one of the most influential men on the republican side ot the Chamber, not alone because he is Chairman of the Committee on appro- management of the Elgin asylum, has been that of feeding visiting friends of the employees at the. expense of the State.

The blow aim* d at business by the free silverites was recognised as a heavy and dangerous one, and the hest elements of the business world lined up in opposition. It is now observed that in states where the money question is an issue the business men are again coming to the front and reviving and keeping up their organizations of last year. cured the appointment of J. G. Thompson as Assistant Attorney General, to say nothing of several other minor offices which he has filled with his men." Ifi^Governor Bushnell and Senators Hanna and Foraker are all pulling in the same boat, and are pulling to win. This would appear to refute the idea advanced by the Democrats some days ago that Senator Foraker had cancelled his Ohio engagements. After party man­ agers have issued a few sUch sensational canards in a campaign and they are immediately shown to have been manu­ factured out of whole cloth, the people naturally begin to lose faith in anything |§|y they may say. KaTThe Popocratic captains are be- tiV • ginning to revive their drooping spirits. Wheat has taken a little fall, and they are anxiously watching the market. If wheat would only go down to fifty cente a bushel again, they would feel *hat they could shake their fincers in the farmers' faces with great effect. Last year e bushel of wheat and an ounce of silver were equal in value, but this year the wheat is worth Just double the silver, and for some reason the Popocrats don't stand in with the farmers as well as they did last year.

According to the Treasury officials, the Dingley law will be making expenses before very long. Brutal Military Officers. The brutal treatment of a private in the United States army at Fort Sheri­ dan, near Chicago, a few weeks ago, has 60 shocked the humane feelings of the people that there is an almost universal demand for a trial by court martial ol 'he officer who committed the outrage. Because he refused to work, a rope was fastened to the soldier's ankles and he was roughly dragged over the grounds and gravel roads by a squad ot men un­ der the command of a lieutenant to thf headquarters of the colonel for trial. The incident is one of those commonly practiced in the regular army ostensibly for the purpose of discipline, and prob­ ably no attention would have been paid to'it had it occurred on the western fron­ tier instead of at the very threshold of civilization--the suburbs of Chicago. It is also an excellent example of the brutal instincts that are wont to develope in the semblance of a man vested with & little "brief authority." President Mc­ Kinley and Secretary of war Alger hav* investigated the occurrence sufficiently to order a court martial, and, unless the customary courtesy whitewash applied to each other by regular officers shall shield the offending lieutenant, he may lose hia shoulder straps for the offence. Ordinarily ie Buch cases, however, the punishment is limited to confinement iD quarters. The attention of Congress ha^ been called to this abuse of power b.v petty army officers, in the name of dis­ cipline, and it is more than probable that a bill will be introduced at the ap­ proaching session of Congress which shall provide that an enlisted man in the U. S army i& to be treated like a human being and not as if he were a mere brute. Cruelty towards the private soldier, who b^ars the brunt, is not a necessary ad­ junct to good and efficient military service. The first way is from imperfect action of the kidneys.' The eecond wav is from careless local treatment of other disease. » " •s CHIEF CAUSE. Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid neys ie the chief cause of bladder troubles. So the womb, like the bladder was created for one purpose, and if not doctored too much is not liable to weak­ ness or disease, except in rare cases. It is situated back of and very close to the bladder, therefore any pain, disease or inconvenience manifested in the kid neys, back, blahder, or urinary passage, is often, by mistake, attributed to fe­ male weakness or womb trouble of some sort. The error is easily made and may be easily avoided. To find out correcctly set your urine aside for twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicates kidney or bladder trouble.

I©"What the world will suffer in conse­ quence of the Luetgert trial no one can guess. Here, for instance, is the word Sesamoid, never heard of before thef fa­ mous trial commenced, bidding fair to become the burden of song and slang and story and popularized in other ways. The newspaper reporters who worked the trial have organized a "Sesamoid Club," one man has named his dbg Sesa­ moid, and a new song has appeared on the variety stage, the first line of which goes, "There's nothing left of darling now but a little sesamoid." And to the cheerful barkeeper the remark is, "Shake the sesamoids I"--Ex.
