And well ttiey may lor no disease that can be mentioned is so universally prevalent and so destructive to health as Catarrh. Bronchitis, Asthma, Coughr, and serious and frequently fatal uffe lions oi the lungs follow, in many cases, a e ase of simple but neglected Catarrh. Other sympathetic affections, such as deafness, impaired eye-sight and loss of sense of smell, may be referred to as minor but neverthhlesa serious results of neglected Catarrh, bad enough in themselves, but us nothing com* pared with the dangerous affections of the throat and lungs likely to tollow. IT CAN BE CURED. IT can be cured. There is no doubt about it. The immediate relief afforded by Sanford's Kadical Kadical Cure for Catarrh is but a flight evidence ol what may follow a persistent use of this remedy. The hard, incrusted matter that has lodged in tlie aartal iiascares is removed with a few applications; the ulceration and inflammation subdued ami healed; the entire membranous linings of the head are cleansed and purilied. Ci. Sanford, ?l*„ tbl local and con stitutional, by a remedy prepared by distillation, is the only one offered to the public that vt ill bear the test of lime, SANFORD'S RADICAL CURE Is Prepared by Distillation.

Thus tiro active, medical constituents of thousands of pounds of herbs may be condensed into a verv small compass. In this way Sanford’s Kadical Cure is divested of »he nauseating, worth less features of all other remedies, while its cura tive properties are increased tenfold. It is posi tively the greatest medical triumph ol the age. Each package contains Dr. Sanford’s Improved Inhaling Tube, with full directions for use iu all cases. Price, $1.10.

Suppose we make a bold innovation, and instead of having a square table in the middle of the room, we havo a round ta ble at one end. You will lose, of course, in extent of accommodation, but just sec what you would gain In comfort. First, you won’t have the door opening upon two or three unfortunate persons, includ ing the host, and interrupting their talk with the clatter of dishes and the whis pered converse of the footman and maids, and none of your guests will have their spinal marrow wasted by sitting with their hacks to the tire. You will be able to talk to every one at your table with use, and the conversation, instead of languishing in duets, may be made general—no small advantage. Besides the gain in comfort and cosiness is very considerable, and that should he one of your greatest aims in a dining-room. Another thing not gener ally attended to, is the lighting; and yet, perhaps, it is the most important of all de tails. The usual way is to have u large chandelier hung high up, and illuminating chiefly the pictures. It was such an ar rangement, by the way, that inspired Syd ney Smith’s sarcasm, when he observed to his host that “above was light and beauty, and below, darkness anil gnashing of teeth." Remember that however good your pictures are, you don't want people to look at them at dinner-time, and so concen trate your light upon the table itself. To this end hang your light low, and sur round it with a crimson shade, so that whenever light penetrates to the upper part of the room it may do so in a soft glow of color, just sufficient to give an effect of warm obscurity. And if you have vour side board at the other end of the room lighted, manage it in the same manner, whether it he with candles or a lamp, al ways keeping the actual flame invisible. And on your table do not commit the vul garity of one of those silver-gilt epergnes with lookiug-glass platforms and badly cast flowers or something of that sort, supporting a basket, ami hung round with crystal balls; don’t have anything of that kind, but plain glass or pottery, made in the most graceful shapes .you can meet with, and let your real ornaments be tho flowers themselves. They’re far more beautiful than anything Hunt and Roskcil can make for you. And don’t he afraid of having leaves and grass intermixed with your blossoms; look at the propor tion in nature between blooms and leaves and try to imitate that; and above all, let your light fall as strongly as possible on your flower ornament—focus that, as it were, and make everything else of less importance. As to what the room should he by daylight, apply to it the same prin ciples which 1 gave in my second article, about furnishing in general, and make it a room ol practical service, not a funeral chamber.— Spectator.

I flailn Jitimcbrt Journal A U U U H T A Monday Soriinf, April 23, IS" Forcible Dispossession. [From the New Yerk Times There is great joy among the Nicholls party in Louisiana because both houses of their Legislature have uow got a quorum of Returning Board members. Thought ful patriots at Washington and elsewhere are reported as saying “that settles it,” though there are other thoughtlul persons who see in this mighty pother over a Re turning Board quorum a totally different kind of settlement from that desired by the Nicholls sympathizers. For, if the action of tho Returning Board is to settle the question as to which is the legally constituted Legislature, has not that ac tion already settled the question that Pack ard is the legally elected Governor Moreover, did not a Legislature having the much desired Returning Board quo rum already recognize Packard with all the forms required of it, and can the mere change of position of half a dozen legis lators make a ntnn in April a mere Guber natorial claimant who was in January a duly constituted Governor? Mr. Kellogg who is pretty good authority on such a point, says that the Legislature of the State ol Louisiana can only remove the Governor by preferring articles of im peachment, and that requires a larger vote than that of a mere majority. Altogeth er, the question of •‘settlement’1 remains, as it has always done, between these two alternatives, the voluntary surrender of Packard, or his forcible dispossession. The first is as unlikely as anything can well be; the second cannot, in the nuluru! course of events, be long deferred. Packard’# Title. From the New York Independent. “There is no dodging the conclusion. If President Hayes holds his cilice hy a )ust finding according to law, then the title ol Gov. Packard Is absolutely unimpeacha ble. If the title of the latter be not valid then the Electoral Commission lell into a most grievous mistake in counting the electoral votes of Louisiana for llutber ford B. Hayes. Upon this supposition we charge the commission, not with inten tional fraud, but with an enormous blun der. Republicans, in studying what may be called the logic of the position, should not forget to study the law-logic of the ease. We frankly givo It up, and admit (what the democrats allirm) that if the title of 8. B. Packard is not good, then that of Rutherford It. Hayes is not good. We believe that the latter was lawfully elected but we could not so believe fora moment if we bad not a like faith in re gard to the former. It is not possible to hold to the one and reject the other, with out disregarding the clearest evidence ol facts. Both stand or fall together. The same reasoning applies equally to Gov. Chamberlain. Without the electoral votes of Sooth Carolina Rutherford 11. Hayes would not have been President; and the same Board of State Canvassers that gave him these voles, certified to the election of members ol the Legislature, by whom, with a quorum in each House, Mr. Chamberlain was declared lawfully elected. The two titles, hence, rest ulti mately upon the authority of precisely the same Board of Canvassers; aud this authority is good in both eases or good in neither." Cottou .Manufacturing. We seem to be nearly as mucb bt-bind band in cotton manufacturing as we excel the world in cotton growing. We have but 218 spindles per thousand of popula tion, while Great Britain has 1,180 per thousand of her people, and we export but seven per cent, of our total cotton mautactures, while Great Britain exports eighty-flve per cent of hers. We have a multitude of people unemployed, and it is evident that our manufacturing capacity, even at a time when everybody is rigidly economizing at home, is but a trifle ahead of the home demand. We consume, at this time, at home, all but seven per cent, of tbe cotton gotdswe make. With the return of good times and the natural in crease in consumption our cotton manu facturers would be hardly uble to supply the borne market, and if, as seems not improbable, we shall have a steadily in creasing foreign demand for our goods, we shall need more cotton mills. Indeed, we* know ol prudent and well informed cotton manufacturers who believe that if the Southern troubles are happily settled and a speedy return to specie payments were probable, it would be safe and profit able to Invest money in new mills at once, selecting the most favorable localities and putting in the best machinery, so as to compete on the most favorable terms with the old mills.—New York Ikrahl. Mr. Wade Hampton has shown his re spect for the efficacy of legal remedies in settling the questions in dispute be twen the contestants for State offices in South Carolina by locking out the duly coustiluted republican incumbents from the rooms occupied by them, and by rec ognizing the democratic claimants, whose title to these office* has been affirmed by no legal anthority whatever. U happens that the republican State officers of South Carolina do not even share the quasi-dis a'tilitv of Gor. Chamberlain in having certain decisions of the courts against them. Hampton’s action is simply a high handed outrage, equally in contempt ol all the forms of law and of the spiilt ol republican institutions. It is one ot the inconvenient results of the President’s policy that a good many worse outrages may be committed without the Federal Government being required to take cog nisance of them.

Lamon, well known as a confidential friend of Abraham Lincoln during bis life, writes a letter from Washington to the Boston Journal in relation to the friendship of Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Blaine, which is interesting just at this time. Mr. Lamon says I observe iu a recent istne of your paper that you cliss Senator liiaiuc as among those w ho were opposed to the renomiuation of Mr. Lincoln iu 1864. '1 be point may be interesting now only as a matter of history, but iu that regard it da*t sums which lie spends in addition iu improving the attractioos of the place, he has amassed a fostunc of over #33,000. 000. Much ol his income, however, he det ives from legitimate trade, as he controls ne arly all the industries of the place. Miss Anna Dickinson has attracted the distin guished attention of The Nation which says of her "Where she errs is in failing to perceive tha^ not only have the Limes and the manners changed since she began her career as a public speaker, but that in trying to become au actress aud play wright, she places herself before au entirely new public, in a new atmosphere, and under new con ditions." It is related that the late Itoas Winaus secured a whole square in Baltimore, on which he bnilt an elegant house, lie laid his grounds out in line ta-te and filled them with statuary and ornaments, which he threw opeu to the public, home of his neighbors, not being accustomed to unrobed stat uaiy, made a complaint again&t Mr. Winaus Thereupon he w* ut to work and built a strong, close wall of brick, high enough and strong enough for a peuitentiary, which turned ihc whole of the delightlul m igbboihood into a deformity. The wall it maim standing to this day. Take the"Foiest Tai" for all kidney complaints. It will do the work well. apllS—ftkwlw 1 THE MAGAZINES.

Accordingly the fol lowing committee were appointed for this object: W. 1L Smith, U- A. DoWitt, Alvan Fogg and .'Samuel Titcomb. As there is a small amount of uncollected taxes in the hands of Mr. Decring, it was voted thattbc Directors be authorized to settle with him. The meeting then adjourned to meet the first Wednesday in June at 2 o’clock, for the purpose of listening to the report of the committee, appointed to look into the condition of certain of the school buildings.___ Till- Bangor Express Train Smash-up. The cause of the accident was the culpable care less ues9 of a switch-tender named Jordan. It seems that Conductor Dyer's traio, which leaves lioston as 5.50 P. M., arrived in Lynn on time, and as usual the train was set off on the side track for the night. The switchman, Jordan, who, in addi tion to tending the switches, also has charge of the engine ball or lantern, neglected to throw the switch up after it had been used for the shifting Of the train, but hoisted the sigeal lantern to indicate that the main tiack was all right for the passage of trains, A few moments after, or about one min ute before 7, the liaogor express, consisting of seven cars, drawn by engine No. 55, came rushing along some four or five minutes late, evidently li ving to make up the lost time, and without any warning, lushed on to the siding and Into the imply passenger tiain above mentioned. The mo mentum of the train had been considerably les sened, owing lo the fact that when the rays of the headlight of the locomotive fell upon the switch( the engineer, William Paul, seeing that the switch was open, reversed his engiue and applied the brakes, and it is owing to the watchfulness of the engineer that a greater calamity was averted and many lives probably saved. On the right of the tiack there is a high em bankment with stone abutments within three feet of the track, which was a serious obstacle to the efforts of the engineer ami lire mini to save them selves by jumping in that direction, as both men would have to jump fiom the same side of the en gine. The engineer was the first to jump when the engine was within a few feet of the train, and lie was quit kly followed by the fireman. The en gineer whs quite* seriously irjured internally, and hii face was badly cut. but with wsiitance he was able to walk to a pbysicau's ami will he able to be about his duties iu a few days. The fireman es caped with a scviro shaking up, and was able to tiavcl to his home iu tin-* city. l ire collision caused a R ightful Clash ar.d noise, :u.d the news quickly spread through the city, causing intense excitement. Notwithstanding tue tliivmg tain, hundreds of people quickly gathered at the scene of the accident aud reoiuincd until late iq the evening. In the Bangor train there were about 200 pas sengers, who were very much frightened aud eon siderably shaken flp. But one passenger, a gen tiemau w hose name could not be learned, was in any way injured, and that was caused by his fall ing forward uq a stove, slightly cutting his ncad. C. E. Wheeler, employed as night watchman at the Lynn station, was attending to his duties on the ti am standing on the siding, aud when the col lision occurred he was kuteked dowu and slightly injured about the head and shoulders. The loss to the Kasteru Railroad caunot be cor rectly estimated »l the present time, but will amount to upwatdsof #10,000. The baggage ar, which was one of the company’s beat, was tele >coped and completely demolished; the next car,a smoker, was driven off the trucks some thirty feet and turned over on the side, completely obstruct ing the out wind track. The locomotive was badly injured about the foi waid end, the machinery was considerably strained, aud the right side of the en gine wa* jammed up against the stone abutment. Itumediately alter the accident an extra engine was called into requisition. The disabled Ram was shifted out and coupled in with train No. 68, wh.chariived in tbis city at 8 o’clock, or about 30 minutes late. All the outwaid traius ran with their usual regularity, but the inward trains were a few minutes late, as some time was consumed in getting mound the wreck. [lioaton it lob*. Ji}alloU)cll JLoral Xctoe. Ilrvlvul Mretln^a. llev. Dr. Hullcr closed his labors iu Ibis city on Friday evening last, ou which occasion ho deliv ered one of the most interesting and convincing sermons of the scries, from the text to be found iu the first chapter of the prophesy of Isaiah, eighteenth verse **Corae now and let us reason to-gether, sailh the Lord Though your sins be as scat let, they shall ho as w hite as snow; though they bo rod like crimson, they shall be as wool.'* Taking it for granted that all would agice that the bible is the word of God, the speaker proceed ed to deinoustrate that its truths commeud them selves to the reason and conscience of the human family. God comes to listen to the wants of all his creatures, and all his demands are eminently reasonable, just aud wise. It is not for us to question his right to govern and dictate terms for our acceptance. God’s laws cauDot be changed to suit our prejudices or our wishes; he alone must be the judge of sin and the penalty attached to transgression. There is no such thiug as a com promise—some one must bear the penalty. I’ardon and salvation may be found by repentance and be. lief and trust iu Christ. There is no salvation without rcpeutaoce and the forsaking of sin aud yet men turn away and run the risk of conse quences. Iu addition to what God has alicady done for fallen humanity He has >ent his Holy .Spirit to aid us in our endeavors to obtain salvation. Will you reject these offers aud still go ou in sin God demands that we yield to his sovereignty, lepeut and be saved, trusting in Jesus alone. Can there be au£ terms more reasonable He gives us light enough and time enough. God says this litc is to be your probation; there is no promise in the word of Ciod of future opportunities for prepara tion for lL-avcn. This point was urged with much earnestness and feeling; aud at the close of the sermon a fervent prayer was offered, that the truth might find a lodgement in every heart. An interesting inquiring followed—a fitting exercise lor the closing hour of the evening. Mr. Butler has the satisfaction of knowing tl at his labors in connection with the pastois and people here have been abundantly blest.

Troop* Already Moving Toward*Town* Near Constantinople. Vienna, April 21. Tbe Roumanians cannot prevent tbe passage of the Russian armies througb ber territory, as she has vainly sought support to do so from tbe powers, but she can and will vigor* onsly abstain from armed partisanship of Turkey, if she does not cross the Danube, and alao will herself occupy Kalafat to prevent tbe Rnaeiena getting that position; but If Turkey persist* ia its proposed action Roomania will be compelled to cast her lot with tbe only power capable of afford ing ber material protection agaiatt such a terrible calamity. Koumsoia’s position ia one of immi nent peril. New York, April 21. A London special says that Kuasia intimates she will not object to the oc cupation of Constantinople by England, or to tbe occupation of Bosnia by Aus'ri. Tbe Russian! advance on Jassy, Monday. Washington, April 22. C'eble telegram* re ceived by the State department indicate do longer any possibility of averting war between Rttsaia and Turkey. The mail from various consulates indicate’ that Russia is preparing to make either real or pre tended nank movements on Constantinople, around the eastern shore of the Black Sea, and througb Asia minor. Troops ire already moving in smsll bodies towards the several Ruaaian towns in that direction, and it la surmised that they will eventually be concentrated at some point near the north-western boundary of Turkey, in Asia, and there he reinforced by aid from Persia, in tbe event of tbe latter power becoming Rueaia’e open ally. It is also believed in Washington diplomaticcir cles tbst n ciicuitous movement on Constantinople will be made through Seivia ami Montenegro, ns on this route the Russian forces would encounter less formidable obstacles, either of natural or arti ficial character, and could also count upon supplien sod other assistance from tbe largely sympathetic population, Pa his, April 22. A despatch dated Bocharest to-day says the movement of the Roumanian troops toward Kslafat, was suspended. Kouma nia may possibly relinquish the idea of forcibly opposing the occupation of Kalafat, if the Turks request permission to occupy after the Russians enter Koumauia. Tbe panic in Bucharest contin ues, although tbe report that Abdul Kerim in tends to push on thither is contradicted.
