The unexpected withdrawal of Mayor Smith from the contest for the mayor alty of the citv was .the chiet topic on the streets yesterday, and has complete ly changed the status of affairs on this subject. His determination was only confided to a few of his most intimate friends, while a latee number ot nis rnnst ardent admirers and staunchest sumiorters had no idea that he contem- i a tad such a movement until they saw or heard of his card in yesterday niorn- infr' Observer. Mr. Smith told a re porter yesterday that he did not fully tic LCI Lilt lie uuv w t J vl.i. until a short time before his an nouncement to this effect had been haridpd in for publication.

Li Mexican Veteranw. Prequent allusions have been made by the press to the pensions not vet eiv' en $o the surviving soldiers of the Mex ican war. 'The pension of the privates would be eight dollars per month that of the officers according to their gracje or rank. The pay of a lieutenant was thirty dollars which was increased by commutation for rations, &c, to sixty two dollars.per month. The pension of this officer would bd half nav or fifteen dollars per month. The number of sur vivors is not large. The per centage o deaths annually has been about 3 per cent. This will leave ten living from every hundred. The amount of money required annually would not be one thousandth part of the revenue derived Irom tne wealth of the country added to our domain by their efforts. Thirty uave passeu, ana Dut iew or tnose soldiers, whose labors arldftd so nrmnVi te material wealth of, the country, are now nving. n;ach year will lessen that number.

There Is no more remarkable feature, in the progress of science, and no greater change In any professional practice, than is illustrated by the contrast of the medical system of to-day, and thirty years ago. -Then all medicines were copious in quantity, and nauseous to tne taste, to tatte mem was a trial to adults, and an overwhelming horror to the young. Now most doses are small, and con centrated, and free from offensive flavor. Until recently, however, one of the most valuable and efficient of remedies was aetestaDie to nearly all for whom It was prescribed, Cod Liver OIL the only cure lor wasting aeenne oi vital energy, ana certain means of renewing healthy tissue, disgust ed those to whom It should have done most good. Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil with the Hypo phosphites of Lime and Soda removes this only objection. Its flavor is really pleasant, its nourish ing power marvelous, and there Is no finer nerve and brain tonlo in the world. aprl5 2w Ease Attainable bj the Rheumatic.
