Washington, Feb. 1 jS Chief Haz

recieved to-day from officers in New
York 350 separate letters, documents,
commissions, land patents, old Eng
lish warrants, etc., which, ijt is alleged
were stolen by young! Turner from
the United -States CongressionalLi
brary. These papers are yellow with
age, and are very valuable Some
date far beyond 1700 a'nd contain the
autographs of King George II, of
England, of Washington, Adams, Jef
ferson, Livingston1, of British Prime
Ministers and others distinguished in
their generation in politics. Nearly
all the papers shovr evidence ol hav

The perversity of mankind
So long as Napoleon was
flushed with success his health
was no doubt o-ood,- but when
the combinations ao-ainst .him
became stronger than he could
break when he realized the
futility of his aims his diges-
is well illustrated in the case 0t tion became very much im
the man who carries mail be-1 paired. It is always SO. Na
tween two points in Virginia jpoleon was human like the
daily, covering in one year a rest of mankind and for that
distance of some 11 ,000 miles
for the magnificent sum of one
cent per year, with a contract
for four: years duty. The small
pay is due to the fact of his
bidding against a competitor
1
wno
mail
routes' were furnished
reason his success was more
the cause than theresult of his
good health.
The Advance has an opin
ion of its own as to the cause
of Napoleon's downfall. He
to
was his enemy. If all j had no purpose except
build a great Napoleonic Em-
ae in a short while.
FiTZsiAiMONs and Corbett
are now at their quarters pre
paring for the great fight
which is to decide beyond a
doubt which one is- entitled to
hold the championship. Cor
bett's trainer, when ' exercising
with the. champion wears a
patent pneumatic face protec
tor. This is necessary to pre
vent Jim from laying him out
with broken bones. No doubt
there will be much money on
the fight. ?At present small
odds are being given on Corbett.
with such cheap services we j pire for the use and benefit of
mignt expect one cent post-; ; himself, and his -descendents.
He desired power for power's
sake.- In short his aims were
selfish and against such aims
the very constitution of the
Universe is arrayed.
It is not a new story nor
an old story. We have in the
politics of North Carolina seen
several small Napoleons con
struct severe cases of indices
tion, and some, like Napoleon,
ended at St. Helena.

The Advance notes with
pleasure that' a bill has been
introduced in the Legislature
to increase the annual appro
priation of the State Guard
from six to sixteen thousand
dollars.
This is indeed a commenda
ble bill and should be passed:
No money is better spent than
that which is given to the mili:
tia of the State. It is com
posed of volunteers who at
times are compelled to sacrifice
business and pleasure to fulfill
their obligations to the organi
zation, yet they are ready to
respond at a moments notice
to the call for their services.
They receive no pecuniary re
compense for the interest tak
en. True, the annual encamp

pleased to learn that there is at least a
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that
is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the
Only posjitive cure known to the med
ical fraterntity. Catarrh being a consti
tutional disease, requires v constituti
onal treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, acting directlyj up
on the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destoying the foun
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative power, that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for
any case that it fails to cure. Send
for list of testimonials.
