Mrs. Liucoln was not aware of the

A man named Mouat, on trial in
Philadelphia for altering a tally sheet
at the February election, 1880, pleaded
guilty and was sentenced last Wednes
day to two years imprisonment and a
fine of $1,000.
The New York Tribune hits the nail
square when it says: "A bill for the
repeal of the Arrears of Pensions act
has been presented to Congress. It
ought to be passed by a solid vote of
both parlies."
Milton Chronicle : If Gov Jarvis and
Senator Vance do not stop their fuss
about that W. N. C. Railroad they'll
knock things into a cocked hat. Let us
adjourn the controversy for one year at
least.
Ih the trial of Mouat last Monday, in
Philadelphia, for tampering with elec
tion returns, it was discovered that a
juror was substituted, for one of the
jurors who was drawn, for the purpose
of defeating the conviction of the accused.
A Toledo, Ohio, man proposes to
build a hotel in that city with the novel
attachment of a chapel, instead of the
customary bar-room. This is a bold in
novation, and as an experiment among
the Buckeyes will be watched with
considerable interest.
Augusta Chronicle : When Mackej
the Bonanza King, gives a dinner, he al
ways invites the funny men. Vance
and Tom Ochiltree must have kept his
table in a roar, at a recent symposium.
By the way, they will hardly have any
thing to do with Mackey's proposed

fate. Honest memoers win nave a
great opportunity to show their honesty
and dishonest ones as good a one to sell
out. It is tests like these which try the
metal out of which men are made.
From all the indications so far mani
fested this will be a memorable Con
gress for the number and size of the
jobs which will come before it, and for
the pertinacity with which these jobs
will be pushed. The protectionists de
manding a high tariff, subsidy by an
other name will be on hand in force
and will leave no device known to the
lobbyist untried to secure the desired
legislation. And so will each scheme
be looked after acccording to its im
portance and the amounts involved.
That there may be merit in some of
these proposed projects we are not pre
pared to deny, for they have not yet
been sufficiently discussed to place ful
ly before the public the claims upon
which they are based, nor are we dis
posed to take unqualified ground
against internal improvements which
have merit in them, provided these im
provements are for the public good, and
not merely for private gain. For in
stance: The Mississippi river is a grand
national highway, draining with its
numerous tributaries a vast territory,
and carrying upon its bosom the com
merce of the richest and most prolific
section of this continent, the granary
of the Republic This river at times on
account of obstructions which it carries
down with its tide, becomes to a cer
tain extent unnavigable and again in
flood seasons sweeps over the low em
bankments, covers vast tracts and de
stroys millions of dollars' worth of pro
perty annually. The people who live
along it hold that oy a proper system of
levees, dredging, &c, uninterrupted
navigation could be assured, and devas
tation by floods be entirely prevented,
and at a cost which compared with the
benefits that would be realized there
from, would be insignificant. They
have urged these views of the case for
years, have accumulated avast amount
of facts and figures which have been
presented from time to time to each suc
ceeding Congress, and have worked
with such zeal that they have aroused
an interest in the subject throughout
the whole Mississippi Valley. They
ave grown so strong that they com
mand an attention in Congress which
a few years ago listened to their peti
tions with indifference. If it can be
shown on thorough and satisfactory in
vestigation that their representations
are well founded, that by a reasonable
outlay of money the ills they complain
of may be remedied and the advantages
they claim be secured it would be the
part of wisdom to aid them, though the
sums asked for may seem large. But it
should be done in a business like way,
and with such guarantees that the aid
so given will be properly and judicious
ly applied, not squandered nor diverted
to the enriching of rings, contractors
and speculators, It is not so much
what the government appropriates that
hurts as the amouut of these appropria
tions that are appropriated by rings
who get the handling of them. It is
against this that the representatives of
the people in Washington must guard
when called upon, and they think they
are justified in voting the people's
money. Giving judicious aid to meri
torious objects is one thing, and giving
away money to enrich sharpers is another.
which he is represented as having
charged Jefferson Davis with the se
onestration.touse a mild word, of a
large amount or uomeaeraie goiu. xms
is the essence of an interview running
through several columns of the Phila
delphia paper alluded to. The General
is now in Washington. A representa
tive of the World met him to-day, and
had a conversation upon the general
subject The General said he bad made
no statement to the representative of a
Philadelphia or any other paper, in
tended for publication. He purposes to
write to the editor of the paper which
made the publication, disavowing any
such intention, and denying the accu
racy of many or most of the statements
attributed to him in the alleged inter
view. The General says he was be
guiled into talking freely about three
weens ago to a gentleman at a notei in
Richmond, Va whom he did not at the
moment suspect was a newspaper man,
and that what he did say was so dis
torted and expanded that it became no
more like what he said than he to Her
cules. He is made to put words in the
mouth of Beauregard and others and to
say things he didn't know,' and which
could only be gathered from records, or
reported by some one familiar with
Southern history and Southern men.
The General said that he was to blame
as well as the interviewer, for he was
old enough to know better. It appears,
therefore, that, while much or the
alleged interview never took place, some
was false and other portions inaccu
rately reported.
THE GUITEAU TRIAL.
Chas. II. Reld becomes Associate
Counsel for the Defence.
Washington, Dec 23. In the Gui
teau trial to-day, Chas. H. Reid assumed
the duties of associate counsel for the
defence. Wm. A. Edward, of Brook
lyn, who was clerk in Shaw's office, tes
tified to overhearing a conversation be
tween his employer and the prisoner,
when the latter, as alleged by Shaw,
said he would some day kill "some big
man as Booth had done." The witness
was cross-examined by Col. Reid.

trial was adjourned until Tuesday

of the rebellion, composed of a mixture
of history, imagination and conversa
tion. A large portion of this so-called
chapter of unwritten history was made
up irom a conversation alleged to nave
been held with Gen. Joseph E. John
ston. The article purported to be Gen.
Johnston's account of the armistice
agreed upon by Gen. Sherman and him
self, and of certain financial transac
tions said to have occurred at the time
of the collapse of the rebellion. Gen.
Johnston says the most ridiculous and
untrue statements have been attributed
to him, and he has written the follow
ing declaimer to the editor of the
Press :
To the Editor of the Philadelphia

Dear Sib I was greatly annoyed by
reading the article in your paper of the

ticle is evidently based on a conversa
tion wnicn l am-not take to be an in

fore, a good deal was said which noth
ing oould induce me to say for publica
tionnotably what relates to Confed

this, the narrative is inaccurate, so
much so that I will not undertake to
correct it, and it contains letters which
not only did not come from me, but

to relieve me of responsibility for the
narrative. Most respectfully yours,
J. E. Johnston.

Burins; a Florida Railroad.
Jacksonville, Dec 23. The Lenele
interest in the Florida Central Railroad
was to-day sold to Sir Edward J. Reed,
an English capitalist, who has recently
purchased two million acres of land in
this State, and who is reported to be
negotiating for the transit railroad
from Fernandina to Cedar Keys. This
transfer gives Sir Edward Reed a con
trol ing interest in the Florida Central
Kauroad, of which he was to-day elect
ed President.

former proprietor of the Dublin Irish
man, who recently issued an address
respecting the Land League, publishes
a letter further explaining his views
in which he says he believes that Feni
anism is practically extinct in America
and in Ireland, and nearly so in Great
Britain ; that the "no rent" manifesto
has had such a run upon the resources
of the Land League that they must
have been exhausted, and that probably
a general adoption of the -no rent" pol

there will be organized attacks on the

can be effectually stamped out and the
League with them.

Cheyenne, Wyoming, Dec. 23 The
Central Pacific Railroad of Wyoming
was organized under the laws of Wy

the Central Pacific Railroad of Califor
nia. The capital stock is 13,500,000. The
object is to build a railroad from a point
on the boundary between Utah and
Wyoming to a point on the eastern
branch of the Wyoming, north of the
Union Pacific Railroad, distance 450
miles.
The last venture in the grave-yard
insurance business is an effort to get an
insurance on Guiteau's life. A gang of

Washington that they had made ar

structed him to get Guiteau's signature
to the application.
A Louisville merchant refused to

Judge Hunt, of the Supreme court,

He has still another year to run before
his ten years are up, during which time
he will have rendered but six years sei-vice.
UAIHE ITlOXOPOIilES.
We publish to-day a letter from a
gentleman in Washington, calling at
tention to the purchase by Northern
sportsmen of vast tracts of game
grounds in the eastern portion of this
State, a business into which they seem
to have gone with a vim. We saw
reference some time ago to this 240,000
acre purchase alluded to, but doubted
it and still doubt it. It is a fact, how
ever, that Northern sportsmen are
looking to the coast region of Virginia
and this State as the future sporting
ground, and that some purchases have
been made.
However much we like to see these
gentlemen enjoy themselves, and are
disposed to welcome them with gun
and dog, we do not wish to see them
gobble up all creation and proclaim a
"corner"on the birds of the air and
the wild critters of the wcods. As sug
gested by our correspondent the Leg
islature should look after this matter
and while doing nothing to prevent the
fullest by indulgence these gentlemen
in the' way of sporting, see to it that
this wholesale gobbling up of our built
in j- grounds be guarded against.
The Western Texas Did It.
New Yoek, Dec. 23. The vessel
which ran into the war ship Tennessee
waa the Western Texas. The weather
was foggy but the officers of the Ten
nessee claim not so much so as to war
rant the accident. The Tennessee was
anchored out of the channel and had
her fog bell going. The Western Texas
was uninjured. The plating of the Ten
nessee was cracked five feet below the
water line. Her pumps were kept go
ing all night and to-day she was docked
at the Navy yard from whence she had
just emerged.
A Fight with Insurgents.
Port-au-Pbince, Dec. 13. An alarm
ing revolution is reported to have bro
ken out at Jeremi-aux-Cays and Saint
Marc. President Saloman, with a strong
force, landed at Saint Marc and quelled
the rising there, after 150 men had been
killed on both sides. The government
house was sacked and other houses
were ournea. rresident saloman re
turned to Poit-au-Prince to obtain reinforcements.
The railroad ratef on grain from St
Louis to Liverpool have now reacted a
lower figure than ever known before.
Tlie ocean rate from New York to
Great Britain is three cents a bushel,
and the entire cost of shipping a bushel
of grain from St. Louis to Liverpool by
rail and ocean steamer is only 11 cents,
exactly the same as via the river route.
Very little business, however, is being
done by either route as compared with
last year, in consequence of the partial
failure of the grain crop.
It ia said that certain conservative
Senators and Congressmen are of the
opinion thai If Mr. Blaine hadr contin
ued as Secretary of State his strong
policy would have gotten us tangled up
with forelgns nations, and probably
given us a big war to attend to. Presi
dent Garfield turned the State Depart
ment entirely over to Blaine and gave
him full swing, and President Arthur
was disposed to do the same, as he was
favorably impressed with" Mr.: Blaine's
vigorous policy.- Mr. Frellnghuysen is
not inclined to be quite so vigorous and
will go slow. , t " 1 -1 , . '
A NICE LITTLE OAREE.
That was a nice little speculation on
the part of the ring of American ad
venturers who put in a claim of
$1,200,000,000 against the government of
Peru, and worked Minister Hurlbut
into it to secure the protection of this
government for Peru against the vic
torious Chilians. Exactly- what this
claim is, or how it originated, we are
not sufficiently informed, but think it
grew out of some guano transactions.
The aim of the ring was. to get this
government to espouse their claim, and
thus practically give them a mortgage
on reru. zor .inac amount more than
that unfortunate republic could erer
pay in this world or the next. They
had made .considerable prowess with
Mr. Hurlbut, and if Mr. Blaine hid not
taken a different view from sT minis
ter, the probabilities re that we
wouia soon have gotten into a tangle
with Chili for the benefit of that ring
or apventurers. i ;

A great source of loss has ever been the decay, putrefaction and fermentation of matter, both nnf-
mnl and vegetable, and for ages great minds have been at work In eflorts to discover some means or

cities of the United States.
The discoverv and its application are invaluable, as millions of dollars can he snnnaiiv svpi- ad.

la fact, there is nothing that Ozone will not preserve. Think of everything you can that U

member this, It will save asking questions as to whether Ozone will preserve this or that article

The process is so simple that a child can operate It as well and as successfully as a man. There is no
expensive apparatus or machinery required.
A room rilled wltn different articles, such as eggs, meat, fish, etc , can be treated at one time, without

A test package of Ozone, containing a sufficient quantity to preserve one thousand dozen e?gs. or other
articles m prupuiiiuu. wm ue eeut 10 tuif apyucaiii on receipt or Jij. xnss paCKKge will enable
the applicant to pursue any line of tests and experiments he desires, and thus satisfy himself as
to the extraordinary merits of Ozone as a Preservative.
If you do not care to send money In advance for the test packatre. we will send it C. o n. hut th!
will put you to the expense of charges for the return of money.
If any one were to call upon you and in five minutes time give you the means of making RIO 000 a
year, you would, undoubtedly, feel that you were a lucky man indeed; and without a shadow of a'doubt,
the proposltion-hereln named, and the opportunity presented, will enable you to make from $3,000 to
$10,000 a year, and you can not fail, If industriously pursued. It is impossible.
In making a promise so startling as the above, we are prepared to prove that it Is not idle talk, and
you are certainly interested in having us make tbe matter as clear to you as it is to us.
in order to enable any man or men to make the amount of money we promise, the means must
necessarily be entirely new and of general value to all men. The avenues of tradn in any hnRinaaa
that every man has an equal opportunity to enter are already crowded, and the chances for large
pronts, except witn stupendous capital, are very meagre Therefore, let it be understood that what we
have to offer In something that has never before been possible, and which is of benefit to every man in
every nation of the earth. The farmer, the merchant, the manufacturer, the housewife, the grocer,
the butcher, the gardener, the fruit grower, the shipper, the exporter, the importer, the drover, the
speculator, the mechanic, the whole of mankind, each and every one Is either directly or Indirectly in
terested, and will be only too glad to help develop and swell the profits which the handling of this ar-
ueie win unng to every persuu in wnuse nanus we piace uus means oi acquiring wealth.
HOW YOU CAN EEALIZE A BENEFIT.
In every county In the United States of ordinary population there Is waltinir a handsome fortune, to
be secured through the handling of this article. - By establishing agents or operators in each county.
whose efforts to enrich themselves will at the same time yield us a moderate return, we can tecure
from ail the counties tnus worked probably as much or more lor this Preservative method than any
single individual or company would pay for Its exclusive use, and at the same time be doing a greater
good. The arguments as to the value of the Preservative for use in a city will hold good for any sec
tion of the country. The city's supplies must all come from the country. The country dealer or farmer
is now obliged to ship his goods to market, no matter at what price, In order to realize anything at all
from them. Eggs, for instance, must reach the market within a few days after being laid, woether
the price be eight cents or fifty cents. There is no option In the matter. It Is true there are crude and
uncertain metnoos or. trying to preserve eggs, dui tney are expensive, usually futile, and even wnen
successful leave the eees far from fresh and palatable. With this process anv farmer or country
dealer can save his eggs as long as is desirable, and when the market Is right they can be shipped as
first class No. 1 rreah eggs, for they are that, and nothing else. Now, 11 one man in a county possessed
tbe process alone, be would be In a position to secure every egg laid In the county, for he could always
afford to par more for them than the dealer who had to ship Immediately, as he could hold them In
definitely, or until the market was at Its highest and tbe difference in price of eggs between spring and
winter is always sumcient to yieia a pronr, oi one nunorea per cent at least to the man who could aoia
eggs as he liked, perfectly fresh and sweet
With such an article as this preservative, we ask you caDdldly, can not any man of ordinary business
ability so manipulate and work It as to yield him a splendid Income? He would have a hundred dif
ferent means to choose from to make it yield the best results In h s locality. He could either use It
himself for the preservation In a wholesale way. of the products of his county, or he could sell It to
toothers Some one in every county will use it largely. There is not a farmer in your county who
would not pay ten dollars for the article if he knew that he could turn around and use it at a saving tc
himself of ten times the amount; and this is exactly what he could do. The Preservative can be soM
at a thousand per oenfc profit and still enable the purchaser to use It almost at a nominal price.
But why eo on? Tour own business sagacity will suggest a thousand ether means by which you
could realize a handsome Income from Ozone, provided you had it
Therefore, to make money, and make it honestly, legitimately, and with absolute certainty, the
thing to do, and do at once, is to handle Ozone. An agency for Ozone Is the same as receiving a legacy
- it Is money In hand. Because we advertise test packages at $2 each, Is no reason why any agent's
business would be interferred with, for no person can buy a test package of us twice. Our sole object
In advertising test packages is to enable agents and packers to make a thorough test of Ozone at a
small expense. This done, the only orders we will fill are those which come from those who, in the
future, order In wholesale quantities.
