Plain people very reasonably fail to un

per cent, and regarded their policy as “ pro

To break the force of the great speeches

The people of this county are divided on

.4 Fatuous Soldier Dead.
Marshal Bazaine’s death on Sunday in
Spain closed a career marked with strange
vicissitudes. Entering the army in 1831 as
a private, at the age of twenty, he died a
marshal of France, having served in Algiers,
in Spain, in the Crimea, in Italy, in Mexico,
and finally in the Franco-German war of
1870. In the last-mentioned war he was
placed in command of the army of the Rhine
under most unfortunate circumstances, after j
the French forces had suffered several disas
trous defeats. He resisted the Prussian ad- !
vance. however, with vigor and determina
tion, and at Gravelotte with success. But
150,000 men could not resist 240,000, and lie
was soon driven into the intrenched camp at
Metz. < >n the 27th of < letobcr, 187», after a
siege of ten weeks, Marshal Bazaine surren
dered the city to the Germans, with 160,000
soldiers and 1,800 pieces of artillery. 1 his
may or may not have been necessary. The
feeling in France was, however, against the
Marshal, and on October 10,1873, he was
tried by a military court on a charge of sur
rendering Metz before it was necessary to do
so. Political feeling ran high at the time.
It was not certain that the court was capable
of doing justice to Bazaine’s acts or motives.
Be this as it may, he was found guilty and
sentenced to be degraded and shot, but a re
commendation was added that the sentence
be not carried into effect in consideration of
services prior to 1870 and of the unfavorable
circumstances of the campaign of that year.
His sentence was ultimately commuted to
imprisonment for twenty years. In August,
1*74, by the aid of his wife, he escaped from
the prison and went to Spain, where he has
since lived in poverty and obscurity. Fu
ture generations of Frenchmen may con
elude, on a review of the facts, that Marshal
Bazainc wa- badly used by the republic.—

The Sony Manual.
Another series of School Music Books by
L. O. Emerson will be hailed with pleasure
by all interested in this important branch
of education. The first book (Book I) is
on our table, and if the following numbers
an- as excellent in proportion as they ad
vance, we can safely recommend the book
to every school teacher in the land, for this
Book 1 is a little gem, and will be a wel
come guest in the primary school-room. It
contains the usual easy exercises for young
children, and pretty melodies tosweetenthe
practice. There are about seventy songs,
or about half the whole one hundred and
thirty-nine numbers. Mr. Emerson’s exer
cises are always melodious, and the way ol
a child through the keys in this Manual
may be speedy and pleasant. The price of
the “Song Manual, Book I,” is 30 cents;
sent by mail to any address, on receipt of
price, by Oliver Ditson & Co., Boston,

The public drinks quarts and gallons—
nay, barrels—of mineral water, but in ten
cases out of twelve drinks without discre

good might be accomplished if the careful
advice of Dr. Titus Munson Coan, in Har
per'.* Magazine for October, were only fol
lowed. Under the title “Home Uses of
Mineral Waters,” the effects of the differ
ent waters whose names are heard every
where, are pointed out. \ et the article is
so carefully prepared that no particular wa
ter gets a puff, although the qualities of
each kind are justly valued. The thirsty
public could not do better than to pause
before they drink, and read Dr. Goan’s ar
ticle with attention.
The excellence of Harper'.* Magazine for
< tetober is apparent even from a hasty glance
through its pages. There are short stories
and long ones, sketches, “skits,’ poetry, and
unsurpassed illustrations. The articles
most striking, perhaps, are Mr. Theodore
Child’s “Limoges and its Industries,” and
Z. L. White’s description of “Western
Journalism.” These contain a great store
of new information, and even the old facts
are so presented that theystrike the reader
with new force. The portraits of Western
editors w ill be scanned by the public with

Woodward & Lothrop’s
Boston I)uy Goods House,
Cor. 11th and F Sts., N. W.,
Washington, D. C.
The above represents the building built ex
pressly for Woodward it Lothrop, and is better
known as the “Boston Dry Goods House,” of
Washington, D, C. It is rectangular in form,
excepting tne truncated angle at the Main en
trance, fronts 00 feet on F street and 119 on 11th,
and is five stories and basement in height. The
exterior is mainly of brick, the architectural
effect being obtained by large openings of va
ried form, and a sparing use of stone, molded
brick and terra cotta. The stvle may be class
ed as Italian Renaissance. The cornice 88 feet
from the ground, is of copper, as also is the
panel-work between the 3d and 4th story win
dows and the projecting show-window on 11th
street. This window forms one of the promi
nent show features of the store, being 03 feet
in length, while that on F street is 335 feet,
making 99J feet. The glass is polished French
plate.
In the basement is located the surplus stock,
dressing wardrobe, and the toilet rooms for the
use of the employees; and the engineer's room,
containing the engines, pumps, etc. The two
60 horse power boilers are located in a vaulted
room built under the 11th street sidewalk, sep
arated from the store by an open area, thus
not only insuring against danger from fire,
but keeping the heat from the basement. The
building is heated throughout hv steam.
The main floor is given up to the sale of
goods. In the rear of this floor is located the
shipping room, where parcels are assorted and
transferred to delivery wagons. At ti e right
of the main stairway is a "Bureau of Infor
mation," where inquiries w ill be answered rel
ative to the arrival and departure of trains and
mails, the time of opening and closing the
public buildings, the location of the depart
ments, etc. Here visitors may procure postage
stamps, and have checked and cared for tern
porarily their satchels, parcels, etc., which may
be inconvenient to carry while shopping.
Over the shipping room, commanding a view
of the main floor, is a mezzanine story, hand
somely fitted up for a ladies' reception room,
decorated in oriental style, with a handsome
tiled fire place, ornamental balustrade and
| frieze screen.
The three floors above this are given up to
the sale of goods, with the exception of a part
on the second floor, where is located the cish
ier’s desk, which occupies a space about .'55feet
| long by 10 feet wide; and the private office of
the firm, office of the book-keepers, entry
clerks, stenographer and bill clerks. The fifth
floor is used for manufacturing and dress-mak
ing. Three elevators, two for passengers and
one for freight are constantly plying from floor
to floor and arc furnished with all the modem
I appliances for insuring safety.
Some idea of their available spac® may be
had from the fact that in the three buildings
now occupied bv them, (one annexed last year
and one this,) there is 4!*,SOO square feet over
an acre. The counter surface alone aggregates
more than 3,500 square feet.
Every precaution has been taken to guard
against lire, not only by locating the boilers
! away from the building and encasing pipes
with asbestos, but also by the putting of a fire
escape in the rear. On the roof is constructed
an elevated balcony which commands an ex
tended view of the city and country surround
ing, and which is well worth a visit.
Their Mail Order Bureau forms a special fea
ture of their business, and in point of prompt
ness and accuracy in tilling orders, compares
favorably with any in the United States. They
arc continually striving to please, realizing
that the larger their business becomes the more
inducements they can offer, and the more sat
isfactory the service. Their advertisements,
pamphlets and catalogues are scattered sys
tematically throughout the South, by the thou
sands, and no efforts are spared to satisfy the
most trivial wants of their customers.
They extend a cordial invitation to you to
visit their establishment, and mukc it your
Headquarters when you visit tbo city, wheth
; er you purchase or not. You can safely write
j to them for anything in their line, as they re
fund the money if you are not satisfied with
| the goods.

What are they ? As a general thing they

unexpectedly cured by their use, and they
are the wonder and dread of Physicians and
Medical Colleges in the V. S., so much so,
that Physicians graduating at Medical Col
leges are required to discountenance Pro
prietary Medicines, as through them the
country doctor loses his mo»t profitable
practice. As a manufacturer of Proprietary
Medicines, I)r. G. G. Green of Woodbury,
N. J., advocates most cordially,—in order
to prevent the risk that the sick and afflict
ed are liable to, almost daily by the use of
Patent Medicines put out by inexperienced
persons for aggrandizement only, and the
employing of inexperienced and incompe
tent doctors by which almost every village
and town is cursed ; and men claiming to
be doctors who bad better be undertakers,
experimenting with their patients and rob
bing them of their money and health,—for
the good of the afflicted that our govern
ment protect its people by making laws to
regulate the practice of medicine by better
experienced and more thoroughly educated
Physicians, and thereby keep up the honor
and credit of the profession, also form laws
for the recording of recipes of Proprietary
Medicines, under examination and decision
of experienced Chemists and Physicians
appointed for that purpose by the Govern
ment before thev are lieenseil for treneral
use. He would most freely place the recipe
of Boschee’s German Syrup and Green’s

HOG CHOLERA.
CURE AND PREVENTIVE!
(Patented April 27, 1888.)
D
To tiik Public.—We wish to say that thi*
great and only remedy is not the result of any
chances, neither is it a nostrum for speculation
but has been experimented with and thorough
ly tested for two years prior to our purchasing
it. The man who tirst used it was Mow*
Frantz, who had charge of a herd of 2500 hop
in 1884. 500 of these died with cholera, Mr.
Frantz ami Mr. Eaclius experimented in evr
conceivable manner to check the ravage t
the disease, dissecting many dead hogs, »:.
compounding many prescriptions, until tin;
happily hit upon a remedy. Before Mr. Frantz
could put his remedy before the people he diol
from blood poisoning, brought on by cutting
up dead hogs which had died with cholera
lie left all his trilling worldly effects to Mr
Each us, who had not the necessary means to
put it before the public, and who was anxio'
that some of his old friends should have it
When Mr. Earbus came here we had little faith
in his cure, hut, after testing it in many sever*
cases at home—notably, Mr. Rhodes’ and Mr
Felteberger’s—we l>eeame convinced Iwyoni
doubt that it was all he claimed for it. pine*
then we have used it in many severe case*
and the result is before the public. Not a sin
gle hog has died which we treated, and in nc
case have any taken it when fed this remedy.
It will cure Hog Cholera, it will prevent Hop
Cholera. We have been at heavy expense
placing a cure before the people, and now only
a-k that they appreciate our efforts by giving ;
it a trial.
It will pay you to feed it if your hogs ar*
well. It will kill every manner of louse, In"'
life in hog, triclHnae not excepted. It will kill
every nit and louse on the hog. It will cleanse
your hog of scruff or mange. It will increase
the appetite five-fold. It is just what every- ■
body lias licen looking for.
IIOO CHOLERA!
The disease gets its origin from n low order
of insect life—on and in the animal. There is
in the medicine an ingredient which extermi
nates insects and nits, both internally sml ex
ternally. 58
The kidneys do not act properly, which i
also provided for.
Dissecting hundreds of hogs has shown that
mortification always sets in before death, which
is prevented by an antiseptic. Ninety-sever
f>er {“ent. of hogs afflicted are constipated. To
obviate this, the medicine contains a laxative
and resolvent.
In the other three tier cent, the bowel* are
found to he loose, wfiich is overcome by ’
use of Tincture of Opium with the mid
as per directions on the bottle.
I he medicine also contains a powerful tunic
to build up the debilitated condition of the bog

certainly a public blessing.
