President Garfield recently sent to the Senate a message withdrawing all the New York nominations made In the interest of Senator Conkling.

We are glad to see that Mr. Garfield has decided that he, and not Conkling is President. Still Alive. A meeting of the National Committee of the National Greenback party has been called to meet at the Laclede Hotel in St. Louis on the 7th of June. The fact is brought out with tolerable distinctness that the winter just past was not so severe in the Arctic region as has been reported. The successor to Nordenskjold, SibviakofF, journeyed from Obdyisk to Tobolisk in midwinter and represents the weather as relatively mild, except at the close of November. This was in Arctic Asia. It has also been reported from Siberia that the win ter was an unusually mild one. These observations do not apply to that part of the Arctio where the Jeannette should be, but afford presumptive evi dence that the winter was not a violent The Pennsylvania railroad on Mon day declared a semi-annual dividend of four per cent, payable in cash on and after May 28.

Professor Vennor's predictions for May are as follows : Toward the end of the first week in May, or about the 5th and 0th, snow falls may be looked for in the lower provinces of Canada, and about May 3rd frosts are probable in Central and Southern Illinois with rain and snow prevailing iu some localities. There will also In all probability, be snow falls through the Gulf and St. Lawrence district about the 7th and 8th. After the 10th, however, hot weather may be expected,and after the 15th bush fires will probably break out In certain districts, although thunder storms are also probable on the 13th and 15th. Be. tween the 20th and 25th there will prob ably be cloudy weather, with rains, and vegetation will have advanced consid erably by the 24th of the month. Be tween the 20th and the 25th the weather will probably be cold. The month will end hot and sultry. Another Comet. About two o'clock on the morning of the 1st of May, Professor Lewis Swift, director of the Warner Observatory, at Rochester, N; Y., turned his telescope to the constellation of Andromeda and discovered a bright comet, moving In a southerly direction. The new comet is located in the constellation above nam ed, right ascension, 0 hours, 0 minutes ; declination, 87 degrees North. This is the first comet discovered during the present year, and places Prof. Swift in possession of the $200 prize which Mr. H. H. Warner, offered last January for the discovery of comets. Inasmuch as Prof. Swift received f500 lor the dis covery of the comet of' 1880, from the same gentleman, be is at last finding astronomy profitable as well as pleasant. It is not thought the present comet is the expected one of 1812, althought It Is .In nearly the location from which that comet Is expected j nor Is there any reason to believe It will have any effect upon the earth, or hasten the predicted coming of the end of the world. A Strange Freak. Tom Tomlinson, on the She well farm has a new industry started. About one week ago, one of his cats gave birth to a litter of four kittens. Soon after, an old hen assumed the sole charge of them and furiously resisted all attempts of the mother to approach them. She manifested so much pride In her newly adopted little ones, that she constantly protected them. Several times has she been removed, and placed In a coop over night, but when released next morning, would promptly return to her charge. Tom thinks the.experlment a doubtful one, as the kittens do not seem to thrive well on hen's milk. At all events the freak is a curious one. Doylestown Dem ocrat. Angry Landlords. NEwnuno, N. Y., May 5. With a single exception the hotel licenses in the town of Montgomery, twelve miles from this city, expired on the 30th of April, and the new license board has-refused to renew the same.

On Saturday last week, the up train, which reaches Quakertown at 3.35 p. m., ran into a carriage containing two ladies and a child, at the first road crossing above Lansdale. The horse had crossed the track, and the carriage was upon it when struck by the locomotive. The carriage and ladles were knocked at least twenty feet diagonally, smashing the wagon completely, and strange as it ap pears, not killing nor badly injuring the occupants. The horse escaped with some bruises. Our informant who saw' the accident, says the escape of the oc cupants from instant death is marvel ous. $25,000 Damage Suit. New York, May 5.

The motion was denied. An Unsuccessful Strike. Reading, Pa., May 5.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. Wabuinotojc, D. C, May 4, 1881. The Republican (Senators met In caucus yes terday morning to receive the report of their committee on the scope and order of the busi ness to be transacted in proposed Executive Session. A discussion ensued which had not been completed when the hour for assembling of the Senate arrived, and the caucus adjourn ed to meet again in the evening. The attend ance was small In the morning. The discussion is understood to have been mainly confined to the qrstlon as to what shall be considered "contested cases" to be withdrawn from action for the present. Senator Conkling and friends Insisted that a nomination objected to by a single Senator of the State to which the nom inations belong, should put It In the list of contested cases, and therefore exclude it from consideration. On the other side, It was maintained that an adverse report from a com mittee shonld only put a nomination in the contested list, that In fact, nothing short of this action by a committee shonld exclude nomination from consideration. Senators who represent the nomination did not, it is said, contend for anything that would antagonize Mr. Conkling or anybody else, but only for a rale that would give all nominations a fair chance for action. The contest of Mr. Conk ling for a rule that would enable one Senator to lay aside a nomination by objecting to It, has revived the rumor that he is afraid Mr Plntt will not stick to him through his fight. Notwithstanding Mr. Coakllng's position, his friends Insist that he is determined to make the Robertson fight this session, .as he has everything to gain, and nothing to lose by forcing it now. When he came out of the caucus, Mr. Conkling wore a look of extreme satisfaction, and he shook hands cordially with nearly all the Senators. This was con strued by some to indicate that he felt confi dent of the future. A loquacious Western Republican, and one whose loyalty and service to the party cannot be questioned, made a prediction last night that is worthy to be pasted in one's hat "President Garfield's Cabinet will go to pieces Inside of a year ; yes Inside of six months Klrkwood will go because the business of his department bas got ahead of him, and will keep ahead. MacVeagh, because he is only an expert iu antagonizing each faction and each wing of the party. Lincoln, because he Is boyish In all his ways of business, and then too, the sentiment which Justified his appoint mcnt Is fast disappearing. A new Cabinet of stronger, better, and more popular material will bo formed with Blaine and Windom as tho corner stones." A delegation representing the wool manufac turers called on the President this morning to say good bye and thank him for the interest bo had manifested in the question which had been presented to the Secretary of the Treasury for consideration.

Don't make the mistake of confound ing a remedy of acknowledged merit with the numerous quack medicines that are now so common. We speak from experience when we say that Park er's Ginger Tonic is a sterling health restorative and will do all that is claim ed for it. We have used it ourselves with the happiest results for Rheuma tism and when worn out by overwork. See advertisement. 18 lm Wicked For Clergymen. Rev. , of Washington, D. C, writes: "I believe it to be all wroug and even wicked for clergymen or other public men to be led in to giving testi monials to quack doctors or vile stuffs called medicfues, but when' a really meritorious article made of valuable re rallies known to all, that all physi cians use and trust in daily, we should freely commend it. I therefore cheer fully and heartily commend Hop Bit ters for the good they have done me and my friends, firmly believing they have no equal for family use. I will not be without them.
