MMMWMAAAAAMMAAAMO THE National Disease I$ IT CURABLE 'PIIOSK who hare suffered from the various ami J complicated forms of disease assumed by Latarrh. and have tiled many physicians and rem edies without relief or cure, await the answer to his question with considerable anxiety. And well hey may lor no disease that can be mentioned is m universally prevalent and so destructive to icaltli as Catarrh. Bronchitis, Asthma, Coufhr, tnd serious and frequently fatal affe'tions ol the ungs follow, in many cases, a case of simple but neglected Catarrh. Other sympathetic affections, *uch as deafness, impaired eye sight and loss of *euse of smell, may te referred to as minor but iieverthhless serious results of neglected Catarrh, had enough in themselves, but as nothing com* pared with the dangerous affections of the throat and lungs likely to lollow. IT CAN BE CURED. IT can be cured. There in no doubt about »t. The immediate relief afforded by Sanford's Radical Radical Cure for Catarrh is but a slight evidence ol what may follow a persistent use of this remedy, The hard, intrusted matter that ha* lodged in the nasal passages is removed with a few applications the ulceration and inflammation subdued and Sealed the entire membranous lining* of the head ire cleansed and purified, CLiistitutlonally its ac tion is that of a powerful purifying agent, destroy* ng iu its course through the system the acid poi son, the destructive agent in catarrhal diseases. SANFORD'S RADICAL CURE 18 a local and constitutional remedy, and ia ap plied to he nasal passages by insufflation w ith I»r. San ord’s Improved lunaliug Tube, which ac companies each bottle tree ol (marge; and inter nally, or constitutionally, where, by its action on the mucous coatings ol the throat and stomach, it irees the system from the poison generated by fa tarrli. Until this good result is effected no perma nent cure can be made. Thus the united action of hi* remedy is superior to ail others or combina .ions of others. SANFORD’S RADICAL DURE HAS worked a revolution in the treatment o! Catarrh. Jt has demonstrated beyond all toubt that this disease, tven in its severest lorm«, s curable, and that comfort and hnppiues* may be nade to follow years ol misery, years of suffering, ».v a persistent use of it. The method of trealmeul irigmutedby Dr. Sanford, via., the local and con dimtional, by a remedy prepared by distillation, is the only one offered to the public that will bear die test of lime.

Comrades! in what soldier-grave Sleeps the bravest of the brave la it he who sank to reat With his colors round bis breast r Friendship makes his tomb a shrine; t -arlsuds veil it; ask not mine. One low grave, yon trees beneath, Hears no roses, wears no wreath Yet no heart more high and warm Ever dared the battle-atorm. Never gleamed a prouder eye Id the front of victory. Never foot had firmer tread On the field where hope lay dead, Than are hid within thia tomb, Where the untended grasses bloom; Anil no stone, with feigned distress, Mocks the sacred loneliness. Youth snd beauty, dauntlesa will, Orearos that life could ne’er fulfill, Here lie buried; there is peace Wrongs and woes have found release. Turning from my comrades' eyes, fit Kneeling where a woman lies, I strew liliea on the grave Of tba bravest of the brave. T. if. Higginson, Scribuer'e for June. Food for I’ius.—The best food I have found lor pigs, for a few weeks alter weaning, is as much cow’s milk or whey as they can drink. Into this stir, more or less, as required, of finely ground proven der, slightly salted, composed of six parts of oats, two of corn and one of flax seed. If the latter is not at band, substitute oil or cotton seed meal. If milk or whey are not to be had, uso pure, fresh water. If all could be cooked, so much the better. When more convenient or economical, other food may be substituted for the above, such as pea, bean or barley meal, and unlioltcd wheat, rye or buckwheat flour. Shorts and bran I have found are apt to scour them at this time, especially it uncooked. The same remark will ap ply to apples, vegetables and other fruit, which it led at all, should be first steamed or boiled anil then mixed with meal. Brewer’s grain and malt combs are rec ommended, but not having tried them lor very young pigs I cannot speak of their suitableness from my own experience. They are good for older auimals.

Ml! $iunfb?£ journal a u u m r .1, Tui'mI:iy Morning, April 10, IN77. Fr m the B .iton Traveller. Another Snail of the Whip* The k!nt] of ri c-i neiliatieu, peace and fraternity which the Ku-Kiux leaders.of the South offer in consideration of con cession and surrender by the republicans, is illustrated daily in the developments ol •*S luthern sentiment Made Hampton, to lie sure, under the mollilting influence of withdrawing the United S.atef l»o«|ie, has assumed the old hyporii ical show of good will. He is hulteiing llie carpet 1 ruggers and tj»c negroes with graciousness prcp.iratoVy to gobbling them uj> il they let use to m'qtli**fwwr in I ho rule ol tile “favored class.” lie hembaslically au nouncos that he will “support l’r* sidont Haves ns long as he jiurstu s the policy in dicated in his inaugural address," which means as long as President lliyes slick to the experiment ot lcavltiglhe I'recdmen defenceless against the bulldozers. It is very good of Wade Hampton to spare the national government during the proba tionary period, lor other conspiring usurp ers might not show even so much magna nimity cs that. Hut tho more characteris tic snap of the whip i» heard in Louisiana just now Yesteril iy the upholders of the Nicliolls usurpation heiil a mass meeting which adopted a series ol deceptive resol utions containing the usual I dr prom ses, with this snapper at the end “We invoke the considerate jndgm lit of the Atnctican people upon these resolutions, in winch we lure solemnly Jeclatc never lo submit lo the pretended Packard government, never to pay a a dollar of taxes never lo acknowledge il- autnon ty, but to resist it at every point ami tu eveiy way, aud to require that every demand which it may make upou the obedience ol the citiziuj be cn lorccd ouly by a present phy sical power wbicb we are incapable of resisting.’’ In conuocliou with this action it should he home in mind that the President's in vestigating conitus Unis in New Ore ms, and it is pleasant to rifled tint, acting upou past experience, the Louisiana hull dozers expect to gain by threats and ter toilmii what decs not tightl'ully belong to them. In Florida, when ihe republicans found that the courts decided against them, they quietly surrendered and obeyed the democratic government. InS lutht'ar olina, if the facts and the law shall be foun-! against the republicans, they will submit. liul in both Suites, as in Louis iana, the democrats began the controver sy, as they did the slavholders’ rebellion, by threatening to overthrow the govern ment which they could not control. Now the question is whether the American peo ple arc willing to submit to this one-sided “justice,” which means mob rule, and whether they will he driven into the aban donment of every rigid under the eonsli tution. I'll*' Miuling-Slii» Mystery. The asiiMrdiiitiy •conrtum unf Thursday con tinues to excite public speculation, but no direct light has pel been cast upon it, not is there much reason to anticipate any Immediate and tleliuitc solution of the problem. Both Mr. George W. Jewett and Air. Orville J>. >1 dwelt me dead, and have thade no sif;n. The only person surviving who might he utile to explain the matter is Mr. Dean, and thus far lie has kept silence, or rather he has deiflared that he knows nothing of the causes of the explosion. They were talking to gether—he being also engaged in writing a letter —when the catastfcp’de (lectured. There is nothing improbable in this statement, but when Mr. Dean recovers £1 ims the shock he may he able and will log to l-cCburtt thtfpartioul.ii- ST the conversation, and these may help ns to conjecture somewhat in ne intelligently. Public opinion seems to have mtrked Mr. Orville D. Jewett as the active agent in the mischief. Fur tome time there hare been grave doubts of his sanity, and the other partners, it is understood, were anxions to get rid of him. He might have been naturally incensed by this, bat he had agreed to a dissolution, was to receive a large sum of money upon going out, and u por tion of this bad already been paid to hitn. The agreement for a dissolution he had himself drawn up with his own band. Tncrc is something very startling in this sud deu destruction of life in the midst of pro-penty. The house of John Jewett -t Sous was one of the smodest aud most respectable in the country. For forty years and since its establishment its credit had been iiuiinpcuclied, and the wealth which it bad accumulated was great. Mr. George W. Jewett, who was the bead ol the bouse, is spoken of particularly by bis neighbors with great respect and regret. Mr. Orville D. Jewett, upou wbom suspicion rests as the author of the mur derous plot, was wealthy and had acquired con siderable military reputation during the civil war. Everything about the business seemed to he go ing on pleasantly and profitably, but it is now as serted that O. D. Jewett bad ma le trouble and was db unuamfortahU! partner, to be nd of at any rcasefaUe cost. It is said, however, that the ilis scuslons among the partners were liule known to their tnost intimate friends. It is often so incom inercial and family matters. All seems to be go ing on smoothly no trouble is apprehended there is an appearance of commendable amity and of perfect pro-penty; amt then comes a stij den and teriihle revelation, darkened by di-aster or death, of old animosities, and long-continued iLongb concealed uuniudeistaudings. J.veu now, if the survivor, Mr. Dean, has nothing or next in nothing to communicate to the coroner, it be really docs not know the cau-cs of the esplosion, we shall be left finally to conjecture. At present it would appear that there is nobody upon wbom the law ehn lay its hand, if O. I). Jewett wa» guilty, be has already encountered a swift retri bution. If he was Lot, there is nobody else to auspect, and we must he content tougird the mysterious matter as the accident of an aecsdeut. —AV«i Xojfk Tribune. O Fy ERA lj AT£U ;t.

IETTEli Hi"M 11081 ox To the Editor of the Kennebec Journal. Boston, April 7, 1877. An expciuncut with Professor Bell s wonderful telepli me was tried iu Boston a few days since, the extremes of the line of communication being tbe Processor’s rooms in Exeter Place and a house >n Pearl street. Professor Damon, a musician, and Professor Bell were at the Pearl street room, and eight pieces of the Boston Cadet Baud were at Exeter place. The “6tar Spangled Banner” was played, and the Piofessors were able to dis tinguish the harmony, and the parts performed. >ue of ttic members of the hand played a constt solo, “Old Folks at Home,” which was distinctly hcaid in the Pearl street room. The hand played for a concert in Providence the same evening, us ng the telephone to communicate the sounds. 1'he instruments used were two cornets, a clario net, piccolo, two alto horns, two teuor horns, a bass horn and a tuba. The first telephone line ever established has jj»t been constructed between the office ol Mr. CU tries Williams, electrician, in Boston, ami bis house in .Somerville, four miles, perhaps, distant. Who can help being amazed at the march of progress What would our Puritan fathers have said to the telephone Now that we are able to have concerts in one city, while the music neces stry for it is performed iu another, we need not be astonished at anything which may he discovered in the future. In a lew years wc shall doubtless have Hying machine#, and be able to Hit about at our own sweet will wherever wc list—every one on his own machine. Indeed, after a while, we will find it no trouble at all to live. Everything will he done lor us by our machines. Every year which rolls over our heads brings to us some uew labor saving invention. Men “too lazy to live,” will be asking after awhile that 9ome one shall invent a machine to do their living for them at so much a year—and w ith a reasonable pros pect of having their request granted. The laiterly meeliag of the Masrachusetts i 'huiitable Mechanic’s Association was held on the evening of the 3J mst. The report opened with the early desire of the association to hold a grand exhibition the picseut year, a committee appoint ed lor the purpose, having studied with much arc the arrangements at the Centennial Fair at Philadelphia. Plans had been considered for a suitable building, and for the use ol the Common on which to erect it. The men who apposed the petilioo to the City Hovernmeut to grant the use of the Com non, were severely criticised. It w?as considered unjust that the petition should not be granted, the Comm an having been used in 1818 by the Apprentices Association, and on several occa sions lor horticultural shows, which led to the be lief that it had been originally intended for gen eral use. The report recommended that no fair be held the present year, which was finally agreed upon, one of the members hoping that when tbe next fair wus to be held the as ociation would again petition for the use of the Common. A petition is now in circulation among the mem bers of the Mechanics' Exchange Association, to the licet that the boys may be allowed the privi I lege of playing foot ball, base ball, and other gunes on the parade ground of the CommoL* Every one to whom the petition has been present ed has willingly added his signature, headed by Joseph F. Paul, chairman of the Association. The Dedication of St. Luke’s Home for Conva lescents on Koxbury street, Boston Highland#, took place on the 3d inst., lit. Rev. Bishop Pad dock of the Epi-copal Church conduct inf the ser vices, which were of a solemn and interesting character, embracing singing, prayer, readings from the Scriptures and br.ef addresses. The build mg, formerly Ionic Hall, commands a fine view of Boston and surhurbs, and contains twen* ty-three rooms well arranged for their future pur" poses. Forty patients cun he comfortably accomo dated, and will be received from the .hospital#, without regard to religious denomination,although it is under the supervision of members of the Episcopal Church. A number of efficient physi cians have been engaged. Bishop Paddock is President of the hoard with over twenty lady As' suciates. This is an institution which will receive the blessings of thousands who will in the course years enjoy its bent fits. The sick and ailing wil* appreciate duly the kindness and care which wil* here be shown them, and much good wil) doubt* less be accomplished. The woik of distribution of soup among the poor was concluded March 3lst, and covered a pe. t iod of ninety-four day*, the supplies bciug fur nished by contract. It is estimated that two-thirds of those who have been “souped” were children, aad the number of families who have been fed reached 60,548, which plainly show* that there must be more suffering than is generally supposed for u man is too proud to go to a soup station un less driven there by hunger, aud inability to fiud the wherewithal to appease it. The condition ol e%ch family applying for meals or aid in any man uer has beeu most carefully looked iuto, aud their most pressing necessities relieved. Not iu any cjse has soup been furnished to tramps. Liber al contributions of money have been received from generous people who have taken an interest in this excellent charity, aud all such contributions have been expendcJ for groceries, fuel, clothing and medicine for the sick. It is earnestly to be hoped that this charitable enterprise will be levived next Winter; aud that generous donations will be male by those who wish to lcnJ a helping hand to all on whom the iron hand of poverty lies hca\* ily. The annual fat men's ball to A place a few even ings since at Boylston Hall. What kind of balls will we have next r The hall was fiuely decorated with Hags and mottoes. No gentlemen weighing less than two huudred pounds were permitted to dunce, therefore only about seventy-five tripped the light fantastic toe. The galleries were filled to overflowing by the unfortunates who lacked perhaps but a few pounds of the required weight lb enable them to join on the floor their Terpsicho* rean brotbcis. The cttoits of the fat men to dance 12 a graoeful and easy manner were most ludic rous, alfording much amusement to those w ho wcic watching them. After only a few moments trip- I ing, the pei>piratiou poured iu streams from the fxt luces of the devotees to Terpsichore. An offi cer attached to station 4 was the heaviest man present, weighing three hundred and five poueds, which must be anything hut comfortable in the heat of July and August. He has the pity of hii leaner fiiends. The fund of the Locomotive Ihothcrhood wa reposed at $400,000 only a few weeks since, bu> men who have an interest in the Heading Hail road difficulties claim that it amounts to but $50, 000. Many of the engine* n are unwilling to give up their places, fearing the Brotherhood will have difficulty in substantiating its promises, and “i bird in the baud is worth two m the bush.” The new church which is in progress of erec tion at the corner of Berkeley street and Colum bus Avenue, will accommodate 3,500 persons with the use of the chapel aud ante rooms. The stair ways, teu in mimlrer, are to be protected by brick work surroundings, which will render them free from the dangers so frequent in the midst of fires. The aim of the ea*.eipii*e is to have a church where strangers, and people of whatever denomi nation or belief, or of no belief at all, can haw free access, aud au equal light with those abotil them to the pews. Of course the policy will be most liberal. This church will probably be well filled at every service, most j*eople of a liberal tendency objecting to atteodi g a church where the seats are bought; aui it is both aanoyiug aud disagreeable to stand iu Ibo aisle the obatuved ul all observers, waiting for the tardy sexton, who has always more to do than he can attend to pioinptly, to show you to a seat, feel mg all the time as though you bad uo right there or were in truding upon the original occupant of the pew, who peihaps scowls as you take a scat, which he has bougnt aud for which he has paid. I once saw a fragile little creature in widow ’s weeds, showu by tlie sexton iuto a pew occupied only by a showily dressed woman, who certainly had uo use foi the whole of her large pew, although she took up more than half of it with her llounces and furbelows, her mutt’, boa and ptayer ly ing on the seat at her side. She surveyed with withering contempt tuc frail figure of the widow, scanned with vulgar curiosity the shabby black bonnet evidently “last year’s style,’* and the darned, black gloves ou the s!eu ler, lady-1.ke bands, saw that the dress was minus furbelows, rutiles aud fringe, one bias fold of eraja-, rusty with const*nt use, taking the place of them, ami then, rising, said in a voice loud enough to be heard scveial pews away "I wi.-h that hateful sexton would keep htggan out of my new," and indignantly left the chuich. The widow’s eyes were suffused with the tears she vainly tried to crush back upou her heart. Who can tell what had been the buidjns borne by this patient look ing woinsu Perhaps «d»e was once au idolized daughter, a beloved wife, and now a daily seam stress, bending back aud straining eyes over fine sewing all the long wearisome day, taking on Sun day her only recreation in hearing the word which giveth to all who devoutly believe in it, new hope, and life, and tells of an everlasting rest for the weary when this brief sojourn called life, is over. Mme. JauAuschek has hecu fulfilling a very successful engagement at the Boston Theatre, lier magnificent physiqte, stately carnage and clear, ringing, full voice have taken Bostonians by storm, and her wonderful capacity for depicting the misery of despair Ins roused her audit nces to enthusiasm. It seems almost incredible that auy woman without really feeling the passions and wretchedness which she displays, cau give such a wonderful counterfeit of them. In“Bleak House,” a play which brings out her strongest and most powerful dramatic ability, she assumes two char acters, those of Lady Dedlock and lloiteuse. The new play of “Brunhild” which Janaiscbek has hitherto performed iu German, is in rehearsal and will be represented at an early day. It will have the advantages of an excellent cast and entirely new scenery.

Jones, aged G7, hung himself iu Scituate, .Sunday, LOUISIANA. The Commission. New Yo»k, April 9. A New Orleans special aayt nothing ia yet accomplished by the Presiden tial commission. Portions of Packard’s legisla ture are apparently willing to net as the commis sion desire, bat Packard is opposed to any move ment of that nature, himself, while all of Nicholla’ adherents decline any compromise or movement which will not establish the Nicholls government more firmly than at present. The commission was in session three boars In the morning, with closed doors, the first oppor tunity it bss taken for a full consultation. At one o'clock it received a delegation of about twenty-five gentlemen with Mr. Black, president of the Cotton Exchange, at their head, represent ing bankers, merchants, and other business men of the city. The commission said to them that they had sought Louisiana, but could not find it. They found two governments, two supreme courts and an alleged dual government in all the depart ments, but in fact, by the acknowledgment of nil parties, there ia only one legislature, though it meets in two halls. The moment the legislature meets in one body it will be tbe state ol Louisiana, aud while It is lu session, the only power in the state that can secure tbe iuteryenilou of the army. If self government is desired, and tbe withdrawal of the army, it can probably be secured in a day, should the public opinion of the state compel its legislature to meet as one body. There ere tbiity-three of the thirty-eix senators and one hundred and four of the one hundred and twenty representatives, whose election is not disputed by either rarty, and the commission urg ed that when they assembled as such, the com mission could have nothing whatever to say about its action. The discussion was contidued for three boars. The delegation was not inclined to accept the suggestion, maintaining that Nicholla must be de fended to the fullest extent. A delegation from the Union club, a republican association, was received and beard, and a com mittee from the Packard legislature presented statistics, lccords and briefs. The commission were in session nearly nine hours, and the members spent the evening in in dividual eonversatiou. On Tuesday the officers of the city government will call, and also a delegation ot leading colored men, including professional men, planters, aud citizens of wealth and business standing. Hefcniog to the interview between tbe com mission and the judges of the Nicholla supreme court, the Times says it learns from the very best authority, that the visit of those judges was made at tbe request and invitation of the commiaaion and tbut the judges did not nor would they dis cuss or argue before the commiaaion the question of the status ol legality of their court. Various questions were propounded, snd in an swer thereto, there commission learned that tbe supreme court learned that the supreme court had oassed upon cases, and that their mandates and orders bad been implicitly observed in every in stance.
