I was attended by the most-eminent physician in the land. I visited the great Saratoga Springs, N.

About two years ago I had a severe attack of rheumatism, was confined to my room for twelve weeks, and during that time was induced to try P. P. P., Lippman's Great Remedy, knowing that each ingredient was Rood for impurities of the blood. After use ing two small bottles I was relieved. At four different times since I have had slight attacks and each time I have taken two small bottles of P. P. P., and have been relieved, and I con sider P. P. P. the best medicine of its kind. Respectfully, J. F. GREER. James M. Newton,of Aberdeen, Ohio, says ho bought a bottle of P. P. P. at tfbt Springs, Arkansas, and it did him more 'goo than three months' treat ment at Hot Springs. .

The depression in the ' markets for securities on the. closing days of last week, consequent upon the supreme court's decision in the. Trans-Missouri -Freight Association ! case, was increased today by news from ' the west about rate cutting, and also byi advices from London and the con tinent of a hiore warlike feeling on the eastern question. The bears had the upper haind and pushed their advantage with vigor, being encouraged by the receipt of numerous selling orders by commission houses from Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago and other cities. The decline in prices ranged from Vz to 3 per cent, and as the downward move ment made progress, many stop orders were executed. Missouri Pacific was singled out for special attack on the re ports current that the company had taken . the initiative in rate cutting by making a reduction from the regular schedule charges' on eggs. Thi3 story afterward met with an emphatic denial by President George Gould, who also pronounced the rumors about a re ceivership for the company as being without the slightest foundation in fact.

The activi ty of trade was explanatory of the in ability of prices to make much headway in the direction of .the improvement; that no loss was sustained was consid ered eminently satisfactory, in view of the slow condition of speculation.

Increased un easiness in Europe over the political outlook caused a decline of 2-64d in the Liverpool cotton market today, v This, however, had little influence here as the news from the south was considered de cidedly less favorable, & new and seri ous break in the levee having been re ported near Greenville, Miss. The sur rounding country is a rich cotton area. Some realizing and an effort on the part of the bears to depress prices re sulted in a small decline. May opened at 7, declined to 6.96 and closed 6.97 bid, with the tone of the market steady. When affairs in Europe assume a more peaceful aspect we think there will be a decided improvement in prices. RIORDAN & CO. i (By Southern-Press.) ; ' New York, March 29. The Sun's cot ton review says: Spot cotton here was unchanged, with sales of 332 bales for spinning and 400 delivered on contract Middling uplands was 7 5-16c, against 7e last year; The fluctuations in prices today were confined in a narrow range. The trading was dull and con--flned, ! in the main, to local scalpers, though Liverpool and New Orleans traded here on a small scale. Prices advanced slightly at the opening, in spite of bearish cables from Liverpool The demand was soon exhausted, how ever, and in . the absence of support prices slowly receded, and closed at a slight decline for the day. The decline was trifling however, owing to the dullness of the speculation. Liverpool sold here, but New Orleans bought. The depression in Liverpool was attributed to unfavorable news from the Levant. Deatb of Margaret 3, Freston. Baltimore, Md., March 29. Mrs. Mar garet J. Preston, "the Mimosa of South ern literature," died yesterday at the home of her son, Dr. George Preston, in this city. Mrs. Preston had been ailing for nearly ten years, final dissolution being caused by the infirmities of old age. She was the daughter of the late Dr. George Junkin, who founded Fay etteville college, Pennsylvania, and was afterward for a long time president of Washington university at Lexington, Va. In 1857 she was married to Colonel J. T. S. Preston, who served during the war in the confederate ranks. She lived in Lexington until the death, six years ago, of her husband, when she came to Baltimore and made her home with her son. He Fought With Pickett. : General William R. Terry died at his residence, near Richmond, Va., Sun day, after a long illness. He was one of the confederate soldiers who helped to make the battle of Gettysburg-historic. He commanded a brigade in Picketf s celebrated infantry division and led it with unflinching courage in the charge at Cemetery Ridge. Gener al Terry was as modest as he was brave, and was held in the highest es teem by his, fellow citizens. Since the war he had served the people of Vir ginia in the legislature and in other po sitions with efficiency. His death will cause widespread regret in the state which he served so faithfully both in peace and war. Baltimore Sun. , Johnson's Chill and Fe ver Tonic is a ONE-DAY Cure.

A Catholic Church, txro Public Halls ma Twenty-Seven Residences Destroyed. iNorfolk, Va., March 29. Portsmouth was visited early yesterday morning by a disastrous fire, which destroyed property valued at between $150,000 and $200,000, -consisting of a Catholic church, two public halls and twenty geven dwellings. Most of the latter were frame structures. As a resurt of the conflagration 200 persons are home less today. ' ." " j . The Are broke tout about 1 o'clock in Whitehurst hall, a large vacant building on Glasgow street, used oc casionally for dancing purposes. The flames spread under the influence of a siff breeae with remarkable rapidity aind were quickly communicated to the buildings adjacent to the hall. Every thing in that end of 'the block being burmed, the fire crossed over to London street, fro the block bounded by Que"en. Qreen and Washington, and al so spread dowa Glasgow across Green. In less than tweinty minutes after the hall h?d been discovered ablaze the sparks from thelowing conflagration Ihia'd Wean carried across three blocks to St. Paul's Caholic church, on the cor ner of Washirgtom, and, High streets, and in a few minutes the sacred edi fice was wrapped in flames. , u The eintiire Portsmouth department was out -fighting bravely, but was ab solutely unable to cope with the flames. The Norfolk department was called upon, and responded at 2:30 o'clock with onie crgtoe and eleven men. ; About the same time the church aught ano ther flr& broke out to South Portsmouth. The navy yard' engine, hurried to the scene, aind succeeded In getting the fire under .control "after several dwellings had been destroyed. it then came up to the cjiurch and joined the brigades of the two cities.

The scene was a wild one. Th e beau tiful church wac a mass of rums, with its great rocf fallen in, and the flames eating its beait out. The other side of the street was a. sheet of flaine.

Of course, Hanna will not make this declamation, that is not immediately, not before four years from now; but one feels as if he might. - j They naturally resented this and ex ercised themselves to give him ; a black eye when they could ... find a reasonable pretext.- This was quite natural. Knoxville Journal. Speaking of Hanna, reminds me that it has been "Senator Hanna" for nearly a week, and yet no portion of the sky has fallen; no large section , of the earth crust collapsed. Yes, indeed, Hanna is in the senate., which is as it one were to say "The cat is in the strange garret." .' ; j Aside from this undertaking expres sion which is assumed, Hanna wears a look of suspicious perturbation which is, not assumed. The senate scares Hanna. The good, man has had no legislative experience beyond what a coal directory might furnish when de ciding to cut down the wages of Tts poor creatures in its mines.. As the senate is disinctly not a coal directory and does not proceed by coal directory methods, Hanna is at' sea. Al. Henry Lewis, Newspaper Correspondent. - Mr. Peter Friedmann, of New York, was tried last week on the charge ; of grand larceny and - acquitted on the ground that he was insane when he committed the deed. The Judge com mitted nim to tne insane asyium, ana his counsel wants him set free, claim ing that although Friedmann was de clared to be insane at the time the act was committed, by the jury, they said nothing about his . present con dition, and the inference is that he is sane now. Washington Post. Unfortunately for Grover Cleveland he had no confidence in newspaper men. He conducted himself toward them as if they were all rascals, not an honest man among them. He did not discriminate. There are good men and bad men among them, as there are good and bad men who are lawyers, or doctors, or preachers, or merchants. He evidently distrusted his capacity to distinguish between the honest, the truthful i and the untruthful, the con scientious, and the unconscientious. and just lumped them all together as a bad lot to be held at arm's length and habitually avoided. Hanna's senate mood is stalky. He lurks about the senate 'chamber in a wool-foot way, conversing in gusty whispers ; or he sits silent in his seat and tries to look like an undertaker, That is Hanna's notion of a senatorial cast of countenance to look as does the rural director of funerals. And as one watches him from the gallery, one can't shake off the impression that sooner or later Hanna will arise, Compose his intemperate visage to a still more horrible solemnity, ana. sliding the lid from thecofQn.announce: Friends and relatives of deceased will now pass by and take a last look at the corpse." I Mr. I -Gladstone has not only voiced the sentiment of England in regara to Crete, but the sentiment of all Chris- tain nations' as represented by the masses of the people. His exposure of that monstrous frauOAknown as the concert of Europe," is couched in vig orous and explicit language; but un derlying the phraseology . employed there is evidently a feeling of disgust in the . heart of Mr. Gladstone Which is even stronger than the language itself. He shows that in seekme- to preserve the integrity of the Ottoman empire the powers nave proceeaeu upon a false basis, and one which can not be justified by any true course of reasoning. What, Inquires tne ex premier, is meant by the integrity of the Ottoman empire' in answer to this question he shows that during the last three-duarters of a century there have been rescued from Turkish despotism no less than five European Rtates-r-Greece. Roumania, feervia Montenegro and Bulgaria. "Five liv ins witnesses," says Mr. Gladstone, "that even in this world the reign of wrong is not eternal." The ex-premier scoffs at the idea that the peace of F.nrore should be threatened because little Crete aims to free herself from Turkish oDDressiom In this same con nection he shows that Crete logically and properly belongs to Greece and thar slnno th-ft latter country has been independent of Turkey there have been five organized rebellions in crete; seeking to throw off the sultan's yoke and form a union with Greece. "It it is not in human nature," says Mr Gladstone, "exceot under clrcum stances of grinding and destructive oppression to renew a struggle so un equal." Atlanta Constitution, Restored Manhood, DR.
