case to the effect that if a husband,
knowing or suspecting his wife's crimi

uilt, the paramour has a right to de
tend himself against a deadly assault

WORLD."
The Greatest Book on Earth.

4. Wonderful Collection of Photographs.
Everyone Seeing it will Want a Copy.
We take great pleasure in calling
the attention of our readers to one of
the most daring, if not the roost mar-
elous achievement, that has yet been
accomplished in the publishing world.
We refer to a new and most valuable
publication, entitled "Schepp's Photo
graphs of the World," representing re
nowned picturesque scenery, historic
castles, views of cities, avenues, build
ings, monuments, copies of celebrated
paintings and artistic statuary, collect
ed from every corner of the world.
It includes every thing of any inter
est through Great Britain, from the
Blarney Castle to the Giant's Cause
way in Ireland, and from the Hills of
Scotland to the South Coast of Eng
land ; through Europe, from Gibralter
and Italy in the South to Hammerfest
in Norway the most northern town
in the world and to Constantinople
and the Russian Mines in Siberia in
the far East
Through Africa, from the Suez Ca
nal, Egypt and the Nile in the List to
Cape of Good Hope in the South and
life among the Natives in the interior,
West and North ; through Asia and the
Orient, from the Holy Land, Arabia
and Persia in the West to India. Chi
na, Japan, Australia, and the Islands
of the Pacific in the South and East.
Through Spanish South America,
from Terra del Fuego to Panama ;
through the Central American States
and Mexico land of the Aztecs:
through Alaska, Greenland, British
North America and Canada.
Through the United States, from
the Golden Gate in the West to the
Rocky Coast of New England in the
East,, and from the Lake Cities in the
North to the Cotton States in the
South, forming one of the finest, rarest,
wealthiest, most beautiful, interesting
and historic collections of Photographs
ever seen.
The Photographs representing mas
ter paintaings and works of art, taken
from the French Salon, Louvre, Lux
embourg, Versailles,' Dresden, Uffizi,
Pitti and Vatican Galleries, are direct
and accurate reproductions of the fa
mous originals. Their value is so great
that the wealth of nations could not
buy them. No collection like this has
ever before been found between the
lids of any book. Every photograph
is carefully explained in from four to
six lines printed matter, in an accurate,
concise and most interesting manner.
So great has been the demand for this
book already, that the publishers im
mediately translated the English ex
planations into Swedish and German,
printing the book in hree languages
within four weeks, and we understand
that a Spanish edition is now in course
of preparation.
The work is issued by the G'obe
Bible Publishing Co., of Philadelphia,
Penna. The publishers, who tre wide
awake, and know how to meet the
wants of the masses, have placed the
retail prices marvellously low, ranging
from $3.35 to $7.00, according to the
style of binding, giving every one an
opportunity to purchase a copy.

Washinotos, Aug. 2. Reprasontatlv
Catchlngs, ths leading member of ths
Houss Commlttc on Rules, was ad early
caller ou Mr. Crisp yesterday ami remained
In ths ex Speaker's room during ths after
noon. He has always been Mr. Crisp's
lieutenant upon the floor ami his valued
adviser In private, so It was at once assumed
that he had been called into consultation
respecting ths commutes assignments and
ths Houss rules.
Mr. Catchlngs shares Mr. Crisp's views
respecting the length of the special seoslon.
Touching the rules, he feels that while
there Is urgent necessity for the adoption
of some rules for the government of
ths House very soon after the
Houss Is called to order, there Is 110 pres
ent reason for any radical revision. Un
der the old rules, when s majority leally
desired to reach a vote upon a pending
question, the result could be attained
through special order or rule from ths
Committee on Rules. The practice, he
thought, had lost none of Ha elllclency and
was still available. If changes are to lie
made in the direction of cloture thry will
be made only alter mature consideration
and an exhibition of the actual necessity
of the case.
The members of ths House now In
Washington are still iu the dark as to the
date of the Democratic House caucus
which is necessary to perfect a scheme of
organization of the body.
The lists at the House Postofllre show
very few new arrivals of representatives.
For this reason the contest for the House
oflicea lacks virility aud the various can
didates who have opened up headquarters
lu true convention style have been rather
lonely.
The warmest fight will be over the door
keepersbip. Mr. Turner, the doorkeeper
of the lust House, is confident that he
will have no difficulty in securing a re
election. He says that he has already 116
members on his list of absolutely reliable
votes. As 119 votes constitute majority
of the Democratic caucus, his claim, it
well founded, would ensure his election.
He is confident of the endorsement of ths
Kew York delegation. This delegation is
called to meet to-night but there is soma
reason to doubt whether they will be able
to muster a quorum.
Mr. Fellows cams over from New York
yesterday morning and spent half an houi
in consultation with Mr. Crisp, and re
turned to his home in the afternoon. Hs
did not appear to be deeply Interested In
ths question of ths doorkeepershlp although
when pressed be said that Mr. Turner
would doubtless receive the support of ths
New York men. Mr. Turner's two oppo
nents, Hart, of Tennessee, and Smith, of
Texas, a re pursuing a quiet canvass and
still express confidence of susoess.
It is impossible that there will he a cau
cus of the majority of ths Senate this week.
Senator Gorman, the chirman of ths Demo
cratic caucus in the Senate, baa taken up
bis quarters at the Capital but he haa not
yet given ths issue of a call consideration.
It will, of course, be necessary for ths
Democratic Senators to get together and
decide upon severasl quetions. Ths ona
which will probably be ths first to engage
serious attention ia the Senate, is
the right of admission of tti three Sena
tors trom ths Northwest whose titles have
been challenged, but Senator Gorman feels
that there is no need for basts in ths mat
ter and the caucus will probably not be
held before ths midSIs of next week.
Senator Gorman, Sergeant-at-Arms
Bright sad Secretary of the SenaU Gen.
Cox, had long conference in the after
noon at ths Capitol and it is supposed ths
subject of the distribution of patronags
nnder the two officers who take hold next
Monday was up for consideration. Ths
gentlemen denied that there was any sig
nificance attached to their meeting and
when asked how soon ths offices would bs
distributed mads reply to ths street that
ths Senate was a body that movsd slowly
nd much depended upon Its action. It
la known, however, that all Republican
clerka and officials who art absent from
the city havs been advised not to return
until notified, as the Republicans had not
yet caucused and determined who they
wanted to remain as ths representatives of
ths minority. There Is consequently much
uneasiness among ths Republican officials
as to who will bs retained as ths favored
few. -
Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, after spend
ing three months among the people of his
State, reached Washington yesterday. Hs
aaya that hla people ara divided them
selves as to what is ths best thing to do on
ths silver question. .
"For one, I do not believe the Sherman
act is, by any means, tbe sols source of
the present financial difficulties iu this
country. I concede ths way in which It has
been administered by ths department,
which in my judgment is not according
to Its spirit, haa contributed In part to ths
present financial depression, but I believe
the real cause to bs the apprehension un
der which ths industrial classes are labor
ing in reference to the probable action of
the present administration on ths subject
of tariff. Thess are times, however, when
the real welfare of tbe country should not
be sacrificed for the sake of mere partisan
advantage. "
Poor Old Reading.
Philaofxphia, Aug. 2. Ths receivers
of the Reading railroad company yester
day, as was expected, failed to pay ths in
terest due upon the bonds of the Philadel
phia, Heading and New England (Pough
keepsie bridge) and ths Philadelphia aud
Frsukford companies. Both of these issues
are guaranteed for principal and Interest
by the Reading, but the receivers bass
their action upon ths allegation that in
neither case has the interest been earned.
The May coupons of the Philadelphia,
Reading and New England are yet un
paid, and it would not be surprising if ths
bondholders should take some action to
obtaiu the money thus due thetn.
Coinage.
WAfiHiJiOTOir, Aug. 2. The coinage exe
cuted at ths United States mints during
July was very light, being only 2,ltt5,&00
pieces of tbe value of $891,900, as follows:
Gold, M.500 plsoss, valus i)20,000; silver,
182,000 pieces, valus $38,000; and minor
cola, 1,978,000 pieces, value $38,900. The
ootnaga for August pro males to bs heavier,
ths mints at Nsw Orleans and San Fran
cisco having orders to resume coinage on a
larger seals than during Jul.

performed by Ayer's Sursaparilla, one
In particular being that of a little
daughter of a Church of England minis

from head to foot with a red and ex
ceedingly troublesome rash, from which
she had suffered for two or three years,
in spite of the best medical treutmmit
available Her father was In great'
distress about tbe case, and, at my
recommendation, at last began to ad
minister Ayer's 8arsaparil!u, two bot
tles of which effected a complete cure,
much to her relief and her father's
delight. I am sure, were he here to-day,
he would testify in the strongest terms
