Before the secSntfe day of the match was half over $i 1,000 had been taken in at the gate, and dur ing the third day there was a riot among ten thousand people who besieged" the door unable to get inside. An idea of the excitement in New York over the match may be gathered from the above statements and from the further state ment that the Sun's report of Wednes day's walking occupied five columns in the fine type of thatr enterprising jour nal. It may be said that this argues nothing, but it argues everything. Such prominence would not be given such foolishness in a discerning journal if the people did not demand and did not devour every word of the report The Coming Contest. The Wash ington National Republican of Wed nsaay, in a lengthy aoubie-ieaaea ar ticle, makes the announcement that the President will approve of the repeal of the jurors' test oath law and of the statute authorizing the use of troops at elections, out that he win veto the re peal of the election supervisors' law The Republican says its statements are not made with thePresident's knowledge or consent, but "are nevertheless as re liable as they would be if he were per mitted, under the proprieties or courte sies of rpuhlic , position,; ' lo authorize their pvAblication." The Washington Star says the statement is reliable, and calls attention to thefact that the same thing was stated by it last Friday 1 m 1 mm , A TKrorTE to Col. Alston.

Bishop Oilmour Jias issued a pastoral letter to the ciergy 01 uns diocese, which condemns the Irish World. ubshed m New iotk, as being antagonistic to true Catholic principles: condemns labor unions for their secrecy ; forbids Catholic parents under threats 01 ex-communicauon from sending their children to the pub lic schools where Catholic parochial schools are easy of access, and gives the Hibernians a severe reprimand tor iui allowing the priests to act as their spiritual advisers. The bishop urges upon Catholics the necessity ol sub scribing to the diocesan Catholic journal in preference to all others, and repeats his order to young Catholics not to marry outside of their religious faith. His letter concludes with im portant suggestions as to funerals, etoi The Contending Factions In France. Lc ndon, March 14. The Paris cor respondent of the Times says: "The chief interest of yesterday's vote in the Chamber of Deputies was whether the government wonld be supported by a majority of the Left. On this point all reasonable expectations have been ful filled. The government, in the projec tion of the impeachment, obtained a majority of 40 in tne moderate Left against the extreme Left. Such a ma jority leaves the ministry open to defeat by a coalition between the extreme Left and Right. The order of the day, pure and simple, moved by M. Clemen cean, om the ground that the Chamber having refused to impeach the incrimi nated ministers had no right to censure them, was rejected by 224 votes of the Left to 187 of the extreme Left and tbe right." Proposed Retirement of Army Officers. Washington, March 14. It has been erroneously stated that the Secretary of War will retire all officers reported for retirement by tire army examining board and fill the vacancies so created by pro motions without awaiting congressional action. It is not the intention of the Secretary to carry any promotions into effect without the sanction of the Sen ate. About thirty officers are to be re tired, including seyeral of high rank, but the names of their successors will be submitted to the Senate as soon as it re-assembles, for confirmations. The list of officers retired and the candidates for promotion will be made public as soon as they are made np by tne Secre tary of .War: .

At nils sea son of the year especially, a cold is such a common thing that in the hurry of every day life we are apt to overlook tbe dangers attending It and often find too late, that a Fever or Lung trouble has already set In. Thousands lose their lives In this, way ev ery winter, While bad Boschkk's Gxkhak Stbttp been taken, a cure would have resulted, and a large bill from a doctor been avoided. For all diseases of the Throat and Lungs, Bobctdcs's Gxbxah Stbup has proven itself to be the greatest discov ery of its kind in medicine.

Yes, although they may despair of relief, It is attainable by rheumatic sufferers, for there is a remedy which carries off, by means ot increased activity of the kidneys important channels for blood purification the acrid element to which pathologists the most eminent attribute the painful symptoms a theory completely bome out by urin a it analysis. The name of this grand depurent is Hostetters, a preparation likewise, .-celebrated as a remedy for constipation, which causer contamina tion of the blood with the bile and a certain means of relief in dyspepsia, fever and ague, and nervous ailments. It Is, perhaps, the finest tonic extant, and Is highly recommended as a medicinal stimulant by distinguished physicians and analysts who pronounce it to be eminently pure and very nenenciai. Tne press also endorses it. Not Symptoms, hot the Disease. It would seem to be a truth appreciable by all. and especially by professors of the healing art, that to remove the disease, not to alleviate Its symp toms, should be the chief aim of medication. Yet in how many in stances vdo we see this truth ad mitted in theory, Ignored in practice. The reason that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is successful In so many cases, with which remedies previously tried were inadequate to cope, is attributable to the fact that It Is a medicine which reaches and removes the causes of the various maladies to which it is adapted. Indigestion, fever and ague, liver com plaint, gout, rheumatism, disorders of the bowels, urinary affections and other maladies are not palliated merely, but rooted out by it It goes to the fountain head. It Is really, not nominally, a radical remedy, and it endows the system with an amount of vigor which Is its best protection against disease. . y The Winners of Prizes In the French Exposition Lottery Are thus described in the Paris corresDondence of the New York Tribune t "A ticket porter has won i.uo kkuiu uicuuuuu uarure; a young man wno sells uuues groves ut we vieuxiemps, the locomotive; a girl employed In polishing pinchbeck rings. 25. 000 francs worth of brilliants; an employe in tbe National, the fellow lot So far there has not been a rich man or woman favored by fortune with a gross lot.
