JANEIRO, Jan. 9,lB(l6.—Really, I have
nothing to write about, save the visit of the
Emperor to the Monitor Monadnock, which
:Wok place to-day. At eleven o'clock his
imperial Majesty's • yacht arrived nearly
alongside, towing a row-boat, into which
WS Majesty and suite entered and thence
transferred themselves to the Monadnock.
On the imperial party entering the small
boat the vessels of war and the forts belched
forth a salute. It is unnecessary to state
that in this the American war vessels had
the lion's share. His Majesty was' accom
panied by his son-in-law, the Conde d'Eu,
and his officers of State and of his house
hold. He was received by Commodore
Rodgers and Lieutenant Commander
Bunce, commanding the Monathlock—the
yards of the several vessels of war in the
port being manned.
His Majesty passed around the vessel on
deck, followed by his suite and courtiers.
.After this his Majesty inspected the interior
of the two turrets, and listened with much
attention to the explanations given him in
regard to the system of pointing the guns.
The turrets were made to 'revolve and two
guns 'were fired therefrom, in illustration of
the explanations made. It be observed'
that the charge of powder was only fifteen
pounds ' while the full charge is sixty
pounds.
- -
After exploring the mysteries of the en
gine room and lower deeps the imperial
party partook of refreshments in the cabin,
IDf Captain Bunce, when sentiments of re
spect between the two nations were inter
changed.. His Majesty and attendants left
under another - salvo of artillery, after a
pleasant visit of about two hours. His
Majesty expressed himself highly satisfied
with his visit
Officers of the Monadnock inform me that
she behaved splendidly all the way out.
The. Mcinadnock left Fortress Monroe on
the 2d of November, and arrived at St.
Thomas on the 10th, having experienced a
heavy gale to the eastward of the Gulf
stream, off Cape Hatteras in which she
parted her rudder chain, wllich necessitated
the steering of her by the engines, she hav
ing been in tow of the Tuscarora, which,
making bad weather, had to abandon the
Monadnock, in order to save herself. The
Vanderbilt, which accompanied the Tasea
rora and the Monadnock, was driven out of
sight by the fury of the gale. At one time
it was supposed that the Monadnock would
have gone down, like the original Monitor.
At daylight, however, the Vanderbilt ap
peared in sight, and communicated with the
Monadnock.
The Vanderbilt was in as good order as
she was on leaving Philadelphia. Here the
Monadnock repaired dathages. From St.
Thonias she proceeded to Goma, encounter
ing head winds and strong head currents all
Ow may. The passage was made in nine
days. Here the Monadnock coaled a
tedions,process, the coal being taken off in
catamarans. From there she went to Per
nambuco, remaining in Corea one day.
JPernambuco the run was made to
•in . four days, Thence to Rio de
iro, where she arrived on the 2d inst.
liitcr run between these latter points was 800
Ukftes in four days.
•The Monqdnock leaves this afternoon for
flan Francisco, via the Straits of Magellan.
May God go with the, gallant fellows on
board, and protect them on their perilous
voyage. . .
Texas Freedmen.
Brevet Brigadier General E. M. Gregory,
Assistant Commissioner of the Freedmen's
Rl:mean for the State of Texas,reports,under
date of Galveston, San, 31, to Major General
Howard, that during a recent trip through
different portions of the State which com
prises the most productive and influential
cottoniand sugar growing sections, that the
blacks are willing to work,asking only that
the fulfilment of the promises made them
by the planters should be enforced by the
Government.
Under these. conditions contracts were
freely made with the freedmen on liberal
terms. When money wages are paid, the
rates vary from $8 to 915 per month in specie,
including quarters, food, fuel, clothing and
medical attendance. In many instances,
instead of wages, a portion of the crop, rang
ing from one-quarter, according to the spe
cial condition of each case, is pledged to the
laborers, and the instances are not unfre
quent where, in addition to this high per
centage of the expected crop, the planter
boards and lodges his workmen gratis.
The Comthissioner states that Texas is
without a parallel for inducements held out
to the freedmen's labor. He also states that
at least nine-tenths of the former slave
population are under contract for a year,
i s td that theft, idleness and vagrancy have
most become things of the past. In the
Thole State, and out of 400,000 freedmen,
, only about 67 are now receiving Govern
ment support.
The Commissioner also states that during
110 month of January there has been more
agricultural labor performed, and more
ample preparations made for the coming
harvest, than ever before during the same
time in the States. He says that some
50,000 plantation hands could at once find
- work, - bread and good wages in the rich
cotton bottoms and fair uplands of the
State. With regard to the sanitary condi
tion of the freedmen there are great defi
ciencies in medical supplies.
The schools he says are in a healthy, and
prosperous condition there now being in
operation, sustained solely by voluntary
contribution of the colored people, 26 day
and evening schools, with an attendance:of
over 1,600 pupils. The expenses of the
BUrean, he remarks, have thus far been
paid by fines imposed upon those who have
wronged the freedman in his person and his
rights.—Washington Cora N. Y. Tribune.
Destructive Fire in Memphis.
[From the Memphis Bulletin of the IStb.
Yesterday evening, a frame building on
Beale street, just beyond the second Bayou,
occupied by Mr. John Piaggio, as a dwel
ling, dry goods and grocery , store, caught on
fire from the chimney, and' being of very
ignitible material, was soon completely , en
•toloped in flames. The fire soon spread to
; tar adjoining building, occupied also as
dwelling and 'Store by Mr. John Berwinklet
The, material of which bothh ouses were
constructed rendered them an easy , prey to
- . the devour!ng element, and before the en
gines could arrive on - the ground and get to
work both were almost entirely burned
dawn. Such was the rapidity with which
tha,flanies spread, but little of the contents
of either could be saved. Some of the
•seods were carried out into the street, but
taken

t. that • always crowd around fires, and
'carried a little too far ever to do the owners
• zetieh,,good afterwards. Mr. Piaggio was
the greater sufferer, as he lost nearly all his
furniture stores, grOceries and over $2,000
in gold and silver, which he had in a trunk
-up stairs, the flames spreading so rapidly
as to prevent him from removing or saving
, any portion of it. His loss is estimated at
$7,000. Unfortunately , there was no insur
• • ance on anything. Mr. Berwinkle also lost
his entire stock of groceries, and a large
-part of his farniture.• His loss will amount
to about $4,000, and like Mr. Piaggio, he was
without any insurance. Mr. Enbaum,whose
residence was on the opposite side of Mr.
Piaggio's from that of Mr. Berwinkle, also
suffered considerable loss in damage to his
furniture, which was removed under the
apprehension that, the building could not be
saved. We did not learn the extent of the
injury done either, his house or furniture,
but suppose it would - amount ;to something
over $l,OOO.
CITY .131ILLETIEN.
WASHINGTON'S PauTuDAY. I --The anni
versary of the birtb:of Washington having.
been declared a legal holiday, tomorrow_
will be'pretty gvnerally observed in this
city. The public offices, banks, insurance
offices and many places of builness will be
closed. The Post Office will be open only
until noon.
The celebration of the day will be more
spirited than it has been for several years.
A number of military organizations will
parade during the day. The Washington
Grays and National Guards have already
completed their arrangements for the turn
out, and the First Regiment Gray Reserves
will bold a meeting on the subject this
evening. It will be quite a novelty to our
citizens to see these old organizations again
on the streets.
The Soldiers of the War of 1812 will hold
their usual meeting in the Supreme Court
room at ten o'clock in the morning.
The Military Order of the Loyal League
of the United States will hold a meeting at
noon at the Academy of Music. The pro
gramme for the occasion was published in
the BULLETIN yesterday.
The Hibernia Steam Fire Engine, which
has been on duty in Washington for several
years, is expected to reach the city at 2
o'clock P. M., and arrangements have been
made for a reception by the Department of
this city. There will be a large and very
fine turn-out.
AURORA BOREALIS.—Last night there was
a very beautiful display of northern lights.
The entire heavens were illuminated from
eleven o'clock until daylight, and the spec
tacle was really- grand—almost equal in
brilliancy to that 'which occurred in. the fall
of 1859. During the prevalence of the phe
nomena, messages were transmitted over
the lines of the American and Western
Union Telegraph Companies without the aid
of batteries. This me only be done when
the air is highly charged with magnetic
electricity.

FUNERAL OF DR. LEVERING.—The fane
ral of Dr. Levering, who was mysteriously
murdered near his own door a few nights
since, took place on Monday. The inter
ment took place at Lower Merlon Baptist
Church. The funeral was attended by an
immense concourse of persons and the ser
vices were solemn and impressive. The de
ceased was widely known and respected,
and the motive for the murder, as well as
the identity of the perpetrator of the crime
is a profound mystery.
DECEASED.—We regret to learn that Mr.
Joseph J. Redner, a well-known stock
broker, died of congestion of the brain, at
his residence, No. 324 South Twenty-first
street, this morning. Though a very active
business man, Mr. Redner was only in his
thirtieth year, and his untimely death will
cause deep sorrow among a wide circle of
friends. His illness dated but from Thurs
day last. The funeral will take place next
Saturday afternoon.
AmArEus. OPERA.—Lucrezia Borgia was
repeated at Concert Hall, last evening, by
amateurs, under the direction of Mr. Perelli.
The performance was even better than that
of last week, and the large and elegant
audience were enthusiastic in their ap
plause. Mr. Perelli is developing a great
amount of musical talent in our com
munity, and he has reason to congratulate
himself on the success of his enterprise.
RELATING THE FOUNDATIONS.—Work
men were busily engaged yesterday in re
laying the foundation walls of the house
1531 Marshall street, which had given way
the day previous. owing to the wet weather.
The property adjoining has been braced up
from the foundation walls, in consequence
of which the family who had vacated the
premises returned yesterday.
GRAY RESERTES.—The members of the
Ist Regiment of Gray Reserves, who are in
favor of reviving the organization and of
narading on Washington's birth-day, are
requested to meet, this evening, at No. 808
Market street. The regiment is now com
manded by Col. Chas. M. Prevost, formerly
of the Corn Exchange Regiment,, and now
of the Veteran Reserve Corps.
COROls'hß'S INQUEST.—T he body of the
man who was found in the Nineteenth
Ward last week with the upper part of his
head blown offhas not yet been recognized.
The coroner's jury engaged in investigating
the case held another meeting yesterday
afternoon, but there were no witnesses to
be heard, and the inquest adjourned until
Tuesday next.
HOTEL THlEF.—Seven overcoats re
covered upon pawn tickets found upon
Davis Dunwoody, arrested by officer Geo.
Ingram, as a hotel thief, are awaiting
i , wners at the Twenty-fourth Ward Police
Station. They are supposed to have been
stolen from hotels in the); city. Danwoody
will have another hearing to-morrow.
UNION LEAGUE OF THE TWENTY-THIRD
WARD.-A grand ball for the - benefit of the
Union League of the Twenty-third Ward

THE CITY lIQRAPTUBES ABOUT BEEtiktr.R.
—We Kaye already heard of a number c f cases in
which large premiums have been paid for choice re
served seats that were secured on the first day of sale.
"'hat the house will be a most flattering ona is already
foreshadowed, there being but few seats remaining
unsold. In fact.were Concert Hall double 14 capacity,
Beecher would fill it to-night, so intense is the anxiety
on the part of our people to bear this eloquent orator
and distinguished champion of human rights after his
somewhat protradtdd absence from our midst. To old
and young , who can pOssibly manage to hear him to
night; on 'Work and Workman," we would say, don't
fail.to embrace the oppvtunity.

as bureaus are to be vetoed., This Is, of course a grand
mistake. There will be no ignoring the claims of

THE AECH.—In the old "Know Nothing"
days "Have You Seen Sam ?" was a com
mon interrogatory. The question is revived
at this time, while De Walden's "Sam" is
running at the Arch, with Chanfrau as the
hero and Miss Oliva Logan, De Walden
and Parsloe in the cast, together with Mar
lowe, Mackay, Mrs. Thayer and Mrs.
Creese of the stock company in the play. It
is one of the liveliest five act comedies ever
produced, and will have a very successful
run.
THE CHESTIWT.—"The Ice Witch" will
be given this evening. It has proved to be
one of the best spectacular dramas ever
produced. The machinery works superbly
and all the spectacular effects are splendid.
It is well cast, and Birgfeld's music is all
new and good. The run of "The Ice Witch"
will be a marked event in the dramatic his
tory of this city.
THE WALNUT.—At the Walnut last even
ing Mr. Clarke delighted a large audience
with his amusing personation of "the in
comparable de Boots.' His friends will
never tire of its repetition, and their ap
plause and calls for him between thtS acts
are as hearty as when he first assumed the
character. Mr. Walcot and Mr. Fawcett
played.their parts admirably. Miss Carr
was excellent, as usual, in her representa
tion of Mrs. de Boots. Miss Germon acted
the injured, innocent and pensive Mrs.
Featberly to the life, and her pretty Mar
seilles morning dress and rich silk evening
dress formed a contrast which pleased the
eye and the sense of fitness. Miis Graham,
on the contrary, entirely mistook the char
acter of the impulsive, warm-hearted
widow, and appeared in her drawing-room
in the morning arrayed in silklind camel's
hair fringe, point lace, light kid gloves,and
received her friend who came for sympathy
with the air of a cold woman of the world,
who was prepared for any advantage that
might offer. Her monotones would have
expressed the reproaches of Mrs. Featherly,
while Miss Germon's vivacity would come
nearer the idea of a gay young widow.
"Nicholas Nickleby" concluded:-the per
formance, and Mr. Clarke acted 'Newman
Noggs with feeling and taste. "The drunk
ard's last drink" was given with exquisite
pathos; it was equal to Gough's wonderful
touches. Messrs. Walcot, Griffiths, Fawcett
and Taylor. and Misses Carr and Germon
contributed to the interest of the play and
supported Mr. Clarke with judgment. The
Walnut deserves the liberal patronage it
receives nightly. A good bill is offered
to-night.
MR. OWEN YAWCETT.—We understand
that the lively, talented and popular low
comedian of the Walnut, Mr. Owen' Faw
cett, will shortly take his first benefit in his
native city. He has advanced steadily in
the good opinion of all those who attend
the Walnut, and has shown marked im
provement with each new character he has
essayed. He is still very young, but his
delineations are so careful and perfect that
he can claim fellowship with the most ma
ture low comedian on the stage. We have
no doubt that. his benefit' will be a signal
triumph, particularly when the youth of
the actor is considered, and the brief period
during which he has trod the boards of the
theatre to which he is attached.

WASHLWGTO.N'S BIRTH DAY.-Prepara
tions are - being - made in Camden'to observe
Washington's Birth Day with becoming
ceremonies in several of the churches. In
tbe Broadwa3r M. E. Church, in the even
ing, Rev. D. W. Bartine is to give a lecture
on 'Washington and Lincoln," for the
benefit of the• Church. Since the Rev. Mr.
Walton has been Pastor' of that Church
about forty new members have been added
to it, which bids fair to resultin much good,
several persons having already signified a
derire to become members,
SANITARY.—The Sanitary Committee of
Camden are now busy in attending to the
clearing of the streets, alleys and lanes,
where a superabundance of filth and offal
has accumulated during the winter. This
measure is highlynecessary in view of the
apprehended approach of the cholera dur
ing the coming warm spring and hot sum
mer months. Every family also should
see that their own premises are thoroughly
purified and kept in a clean condition.
CANDIDATES.— The candidates for the
different city and ward nominations begin
to multiply rapidly in both parties. For
city marshal there are three in the field on
the Union side, Messrs. J. W. Campbell,
James W. Ayres and S. C. Sloan, all good
men; and for Mayor, P. C. Bndd, E. J.
Toram, J. R. Thompson, T. M. K. Lee, Sr.,
L. Repshnr, Capt. Hufty, and others. The
delegate meetings will be held on Friday
evening.
A'rrE3tFT TO ROB.—Last night a bold at
tempt was made to rob a dwelling house on
Taylor's avenue, below Fourth street. The
burglar succeeded in effecting an entrance,
but was compelled to abandon his project
before securing his desired booty.
GREAT PLUM-PUDDING FEAST.—A few
days ago, says an English paper, nearly one
thousand persons had a "grand plum-pud
ding feast" at Aughton ' a village a few miles
from Lancaster. The feast is held every
twenty-one years, and originated at the
commencement of the present century in
this way. A firm carrying on the business
of basket and hamper making at Aughton
purchased a boiler six feet long, two feet
broad, and two feet deeti. The boiler at
tracted considerable attention in a village
consisting of only ten houses: and a rough
butprugicaloker in the place, possessing
strong gastronomic prod' rifles, said it would
boil a rare pudding. The owners, being of
a hospitable disposition, took the hint, and
caused a most Titanic pudding to be made
in it, and distributed among their neighbors.
Since that time the plum-pudding feast has
been kept up by the inhabitants every
twenty-one years. At the feast which has
just taken place one plum-pudding of the
modest weight of three hundred pounds,
and three weighing seventy pounds each
were placed upon the table and consumed,
as report says, "in about three hours."
After this great "slaughter" of pudding, the
company, about one thousand in number,
enjoyed themselves in a variety of old Eng
lish games, sports, which, it is to be
hoped, prevented the serious indigestion
which might be expected-

most conclusively the claims of the coming season;
The Washington Chronic*: "And so closes what we
may justly chronicle as the most brilliant and satis
factory season which has yet taken place in Wash
ington."
The Baltimore Sunday telegram: `•With the per
formance of last night closed the season, and the
Director may well take pride in the result. Certainly
a season in many respects the most pleasing and satis
factory which we have enjoyed for years. Its only
defect was its brevity."
The Philadelphia Mercury: "We heard the Com
pan,y but just now in Baltimore, at d they are certainly
ringing much better than at any former season of
German Opera."
ASP The Director has the gratification to announce

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.
Irt the year 1896, the writer embarked in the Drug'
Business in the city of Philadelphia, and while thug
engaged, made several experiments in regard to the
must desirable mode of preparing Fluid Extracts. My
efforts being. successful—the articles being approved
and used by the Medical faculty—l Was desirous of
placing them before the puolic, but hesitated for some
time before concluding to resort to newspaper adver
tising, knowing of the preludices that existed in the
minds of many against using advertised Ilfedictnes; but
through, the advice of friends and those who had used
preparatioru3, thLs qbje:clion was overcome.
Commencing in a Small way, after 18 years' exer
tions, the popularity of my articles has extended to al 1
parts of the United States, and widely throughout fo
reign countries—and this in .th e face of much opPbsi
tion. Every means has been resorted to by unprinci
pled dealers since their merit and success have been
known—such as advertising larger bottles atless price,
censuring all other preparations, and even copying my
advertisements—but I am happy to state that out of
the many who have resorted to this, none have been
Successful.
The Science of Medicine, like the Doric column.
should stand simple, pure and majestic. having/act
for its basis, induction for its pillar, and truth atone for
its capital.'
I contend there is no business requiring these quali
fications more, as medicines are brought in contact
with Druggists everywhere. I am also well aware that
persons reason In this manner: that which may benefit.

taken the idea!
A Blood Purifier for one is a Hlood Purifier for all.
A Diuretic for one, a Diuretic ter all.
A Narcotic for one, a Narcotic for all.
A Purgative for one, a Purgative for all.
Just as much suss wholesome food for one is whole

some constitutions require more than others, and that.
persons in disease are given to desponden cy--expect
leg in a few clays or weeks, and perhaps with a single
battle of medicine, to be restored to health, if not to
youth and beauty. These personrrarely recover,lack
mg patience. They give nothing a fair trial, consid
ering a iew dollars expended for the benefit of their
health a waste of money. The same individuals may
have been years in breaking down thenconstitutions,
and have probably expended thousands of dollars in
dress and dissipation. and thought nothing of It: Such
forget that GOOD HEALTH IS TRUE WEALTH.
With upwards-of 30,000 recommendatory letters and
unsolicited certificates, I have never resorted to their
publichtion. I do not do- this, from the fact that they
are "Standard Preparations" (not Patent Medicines),
but open to the Inspection of all. The ingredients are
not kept secret, and are recommended only for those
diseases and accompanying symptoms for which their
ingredients are everywhere .recognised as Standard

The Kidneys.
The kidneys are two in number, situated at the up
perart of the loin, surrounded by fat and consisting
oftree parts, viz.: The Anterior, the Interior and the
Exterior.
The anterior absorbs. Interior consists of tissues or
veins, which serve as a deposit for the urine and con
vey it to the exterior. The exterior is a conductor
also, tettoinating in a single tube and called the Ure
ter. The ureters are connected with the oladder.
The bladder Is composed of various coverings or
tissues, divided into parts, viz,: The Upper, the Lower.
the Nervous, and the Mucous. The upper expels, the
lower retains. Many have a desire to urinate without
the ability, others urinate without the ability to re
tain. This frequently occurs in children.
To cure these affections we must bring into action
the muscles, which are engaged in their various func
tions, If they are neglected, Gravel or Dropsy may
ensue.
The reader mast also be made aware, that however'
slight may be the attack, it is sure to his bodily
health and mental poweri; as our flesh and blood are
supported from these sources.
Gout or Rheumatism.
Pain occurring in the loins is indicative of the above
diseases. The occur in persona disposed to' acid
stomach and chalky concretions.
The Gravel.
The6ravei ensues from neglect or tmproper treat
ment of the kidneys. These organs being weak, the
water Is not expelled from the bladder, but allowed to
remain; IL becomes feverish and sediment forms, it
is from this deposit that the stone is formedand gravel
ensues.
Dropsy
Is a collection of water in some parts of the body, and
bears different names, according to the parts affected,
viz - : when generally diffused over the body, it is called
AllB3area; when of the abdomen, Ascites; waen of the
chest, Hydrothorax,
TREATMENT.
Eelmbold's highly concentrated compound Extract
Buchn is decidedly ene of the best remedies for dis
eases of the bladder, kidneys, gravel, dropsical swel
lings; rheumatism and gouty affections. Under this
head we have arranged nysuria, or difficulty and pain
iu passing water; scanty secretion or small and fre
quent discharges of water, Strangury or stopping of
water, liematuria or bloody urine, Gout and Rheuma
tism 01 the kidneys, without any change in quantity,
but increase of color or dark water. It was always
highly recommended by the late Dr. Physic, in these
attentions.
_ . .
This medicine increases the power of digestion and
excites the absorbents into healthy exercise, by which
the watery or calcareous depositions and all unnatural
enlargements, as VI ell as pain and inflammation are
rft.uced, and Is taken by
