B. is the best and quickest medicine for rheumatism I have ever tried." Dr. S. J. Farmer, crawfordsville. Ga., writes: "I cheerfully recommend B. B. B. as a fine tonic alterative. Its use cured an excrescence of the neck after other remedies effected no perceptible good." Dr. C. n. Montgomery. Jacksonville, Ala., writes: "My mother insisted on my getting B. B.

A prominent physician who wishes his name not. given, says: "A patient of mine whose case of tertiary syphilis was surely killing him, and which no treatment seemed to check, was entirely cured with about twelve bottles of B.

SCh fcl p: Far away China sfnds ont to Eu rope and America a pitiful appeal for help. It is said that fully half a million of the inhabitants of that country are on the brink of starva tion and that they: must soon perish unless help is accorded them. A long continued, protracted drouth was follo'ed by devastating rains. T-he Chinese government is doing all it can but it cannot do enough and hence, for the lirst time in the his tory of the Empire, an appeal for help to the outside world is coun tenanced. A committee has been formed in New York and they are already at work raising funds. Lon don has already raised 4,000 aud expects to make it 25,000. New York subscribed on Saturday $1,375 and will probably raise $25,000 in all. We do not altogether like the bill for pensioning Confederate soldiers as it has issued from the committee. It provides for the payment of pen sions to soldiers and sailors or the widows remaining unmarried of any deceased soldier or sailor, who has beena bona fide resident of the State for twelve months prior to making application for the pension. The pensions, payable annually, are as follows: 1st. To such as have lost a leg above the knee, or an arm above the elbow, one hundred dollars. 2i. To such as have lost a foot, or leg below the knee, or hand or arm below the elbow, or having a'leg or arm rendered utterly useless by rea son of a wound or permanent in jury, seventy-five dollars. 3d. To such as have received a wound which renders them practi cally and positively incompetent to perform manual labor in the ordi nary avocations of life, and to all widows, fifty dollars. 4th. To such as have lost one eye, thirty dollars. In the first place we do not think that the State should be called upon to care for those who were not upon the original roster of North Carolina troops. Her own maimed soldiers should be provided for wherever they may be, but not those who en listed in other States. In this re spect each State should care for its own. Again, there are, we under stand, vetera&s in the borders of the State who lost both eyes in the ser vice and yet no provision is made for them, under this bill. And only to those who have become incapaci tated from wounds is recognition accorded. Those who escaped the shot and shell of the enemy, yet suc cumbed to the hardships and expo sures of camp life, helpless paraly tics, or in other ways invalids for life, should stand as high in the ranks of our "noble army of mar tyrs" as those who yielded up life or limb on the field of battle. But there is another point for which no provision whatever is made, and that is in the case of deaf persons. A man with one arm or one leg is oftentimes able to make a living more easily than one who is seriously deaf. Our own afflic tion in this respect is well known and. we say candidly that we would be willing to exchange at any time a sound arm or a sound leg for one good ear. And we do not say this because we are a candidate for a pension, for we don't want it and wouldn't have it. We served through out the entire war. from the occupa tion of Fort Fisher, in April. 1861, to Johnston's surrender, in 1865, and al most continuously ever since the war have been in the editorial harness, working for the Democratic party, without reward, or the hope of re ward. We have held no office, and we want no pension. This much for ourself. But there arc others, who are afflicted as we are and who have the right to have that affliction con sidered when the pension classes are made up. The man who has lost both eyes is undoubtedly worse off than he who is extremely deaf but it is a question if he who has lost both legs is really more afflicted than those who have lost both ears. Symptoms of Catarrh. A profuse and many times exces sively offensive discharge, with ''stopping up1' of the qo'se tt times, impairment of the senses of smell and taste, watering or weak eyes, impaired hearing, irregular appe tite, occasional nausea, pressure and pain over the eyes and at times in the back of the head, occasional chilly sensations, cqld feet aud a feeling qf lassitude and debility, are symptoms which are common to catarrh, yet all of them are not pres ent in every case, Dr.Sage'sCatairh Remedy cures catarrh in its worst forms aud stages.

Cannot Senator Ransom Help Us? We move too slowly here. Con gress adjourns on the 4th of March, now less than two weeks distant, and yet the appropriation for build ing a roadway to the National Cemetery has not passed the Senate. It passed the House last Winter and went to the . Senate and it seems that no effort has been made to get it through that body. If we really want this road and we do Wait if then some sharp and decisive action should be taken at once. As it is now the Cemetery, which is a lovely spot and most carefully kept, is almost unapproachable by reason of the terrible sandy road which in tervenes between the Eastern ex tremityof the city and its gates. Cannot Senator Ransom help us in this? We have always looked to him for aid in matters pertaining to this section of the State and-we a have never looked to him in vain. If he would ressurect this bill and in some way get it before the Senate and passed at this session he would add one more to the many kindly and courteous things he has done for the people of this section. A silver Anniversary. Just 25 years ago the first lodge of Knights of Pythias was formed in Washington City. One of the earl iest lodges was formed in Richmond and shortly after its organization occurred the disastrous fire which in the night destroyed the famous Spottswood Hotel, at the corner of Eighth and Main streets. At this fire the noble principles upon which the order is founded were first ex emplified to the world, for members there lost their lives in endeavoring to save others of the order whose cries for aid reached them from the midst of the. imprisoning flajes. Since that tiiqe the growth and prosperity qf the order has been wonderful, almost phenomenal, and to day, wherever a lodge exists, the silver anniversary of the first organ -izauon, iS"ter- be celebrated. It wHI be observed here by the three lodges, Stonewall, No. I; Clarendon, No. 2; and Oermania, No. 4. The celebra tion will lake place at the hall of Wilmington Steam Fire Engine Co. No. I, corner Fourth and Princess streets, and appropriate addresses will e made by Grand Chancellor j Thos. L Meares and others. Stone Blocks for Market Street. j We are glad to know that Market , street, bet ween Front and Second, is to be paved with stone blocks, j Thfs is good, but not altogether so i To make the work effective and I really beneficial it should be extend -ledwo blocks farther East to !

Besides, we are to j have a new macadamized or shell! road to the National Cemetery some time during the next decade, say by the year 1900, and the stones will be there "to meet the shells, provided they are not worn out before the shells get there. Birthday Celebration. The Lutheran parsonage was thronged last night with the friends of Rev. and Mi's. F. W. E. Peschau to bring gifts for kind remembrance and to offer congratulations on the 40th birthday anniversary of the Lutheran pastor and his wife, they having been born cn the same day and in the same year, February 17, 1849. Complete possession was taken of the house, the parlors, and hall and dining room being full, and some of the ladies took charge of the kitchen. All came prepared to spread a fine repast, having brought a bountiful supply of finely prepared edibles, which were served by the ladies. There was music, both vocal and instrumental. Mrs. John F. Longhery presided at the organ. Mr. E. P. Boat wright, the Lutheran Church orgaifist, played some selec tions on the piano. Rev. Mr. Pes chau and his daughter, Miss Maggie, furnished some music on the -violin and piano, playing selections from Bethoven, Brudre, etc., and some of the young ladies sang. It was a happy occasion, and all, old and young, the minister and his family and all who came to visit themjspent pleasant hours together. The Re view extends to Mr. Peschau and his most; estimable wife its heartiest congratulations. Chamber of Industry. At the meeting of this body, held last night at the City Hall, Mr. John D.
