It will take about three years to dispose of these causes, saying nothing about those that will be dock eted dining this period. Plainly, Con gress ought to provide some remedy against so long a delay of justice. —When President Garfield was im pertinently asked by a Senate Harmo nizing Committee to withdraw the nomination of Mr. Robertson in order to placate Senator Conkling, he might have answered as Henry A. Raymond once did when be received a letter in viting him to come South that the writer might shoot him: 'I think I will wait The inducements are not sufficient.' —Sixty-five hundred is a prodigious number of immigrants to lie landed at a single port in one day: yet more than that number were received at Castle Garden on one day of Inst week. The movement now going on from Europe to this country is almost like a flight of communities; and it suggests little there is for most people iu the sentiment of patriotism or nationality, when the sense of individual freedom is not joined to it. —Thank goodness that business is over at last. Rudolph-Francis-Cbarles- Joseph of Austria, aged 22, has mar ried Stephanie-Clotilde-Louise-Hermi ne-Marie-Charlotte of Belgium, aged 17 ; the Cardinal Von and a lot of other priests tied the knot hard and fast, and the bridesmaids with an average of ten names apiece went to sleep last Tuesday night, each with a piece of wedding cake under her pil low and hoping to dream of a good looking Crown Prince. —A bill has been introduced in the York State Senate providing that Judges, in clmrging juries, shall not review the evidence further than may be necessary to make a proper state uient of the law involved in the case. This measure is based upon a sound principle. To the Judge belongs the duty of stating the law, but it is the jury's province to decide upon the facts, and in exercising that privilege it ought not to he influenced in a-iy de gree by the opinio JS of the Judge. —One of the most interesting and promising went inventions \a a ma chine for purifying the middlings of wheat-flour by electricity.

This question interests manv people. The Agricultural Department at Washington claims it has achieved a wonderful result in demonstrating that tea can be successfully cultivated in Georgia and other Southern States; but the next question is, can it be cured, prepared and fitted for the market, sc as to make it a successful competitor with the article produced in China. A farm laborer gets as much for a day's work in our country as the same laborer gets in China for a month's service, and this would be the difference in the cost of tea, so it can be seen where America would be in a competition in this business.

Some months atro there were complaints of the sameness of tornado stories and of the inevitable wagon that was lilted from the ground and dropped iu the top of a tree ; so the storm cast about it for something new, big and essen tially Western, and it got it.

One old lady, for instance, would not lie entered as one who slept beneath a certain roof ou the night Ix'fore the cen sus-taker came, because, she said, not a wink of sleep had she had with that blessed rheumatiz of hers the whole night through. Another party under the heading 'blind'wrote 'one Venetian and six roller ditto ;'and many persons, male and female, stated their's- x' to lie 'Methodist,' 'Congregational,' or the like, as the case might be. Ilumor and ignorance travel together all the world around, and the census man is pretty sure to draw out both.

A farmer was called upon one evening re cently by a well-dressed, gentlemanly looking strauger, who asked the privi lege of staying over night, which was granted. In the morning he offered to pay his bill, but the farmer refused the proffered compensation. Profuse iu his thanks for the kindness bestowed upon him, he asked his host to favor him with his siguature, which request was unsuspectingly complied with, and in a few days the farmer received no tice that a note was held against him for sfcven hundred dollars, the signature to which he could not deny. This beats the phosphate or corn sbeller dodge considerably. [SpringtieM, (Mast.) Daily Union.] IV 1M Aiiwirer. They tell it on one of our citizens who was ambling toward his place of business, that he was approached by a lady acquaintance of the family, who said: Mr. , I hear you are suf fering from rhumatir-m, is it so? 'Rumor 'tis m'ni' said our citizen of few words, as In; proceeded on his way. Ovei in Chicopee our neighbors and friends have been having quite a time with rheumatism; but according to reports received by our representative the (lurry is over, as the sure antidote been used and thus commented upon: Mr. C. N Manchester, Cutler street, says relative to his experience : I have used St. Jacobs Oil, and es'eeni it the best remedy for rheumatism 1 have ever tried. It acts like magic, and I cannot over estimate its value, when I pronounce it the greatest rheumatic remedy of the age. —The President saya he is not wor rying about 1884, and no man of sense supposed he was Conkling is the mau who is agitated on that subject. Not only is there a President to be elected then, but the Legislature which is to determine Mr. Conkling's success or is also then to be chosen. If be has the patronage of the State and the | Custom House all will will lie serene j for him ; but if he losses both, the out , look will be very different. Nobody I knows better than he that the perpetu ation of his primacy depends ent'rely j upon the perpetuation of his privilege' to dis|K-nse all the patronage lie has i hitherto controlled. The President, ou 1 the contrary, owes his election to the; free will of the people, and be can afford to trust his future entirely to them. He was nominated without patronage and el.cted without patronage. All V|l9Utiugw ! In all the new shades, at RITTER & RALSTON'S. NEW MACKEREL. p H ■«" KHi «.«» .

WILSON MILLER A BRO. —The great office-jobber of the United States, Roscoe Conkling of New York, sent word to the U. S. Senate last Monday that he had for warded his resignation as a member of the Senate to the governor of that State. He and his colleague Piatt, who also resigns, join in a lengthy let ter to the governor, which was read in the Legislature, giving their reasons for resigning. Conkling is said to re gard the re-election of himself and Piatt by the Legislature now in ses sion, as certain, and will consider this a vindication of himself in opposing the administration in the Robertson mat ter. It is to be hoped, however, that the Legislature of that State will se lect a couple of statesmen, of whom that State can boast of many, to take the places of Conkling and his puppet. BAD BOYS. —On Monday evening last, shortly after dark, a family on Washington street this place were a roused by the cries of a robin red breast. The poor bird had built her nest on a shade tree near their door— had laid hereggs—was hatchic.g them, and was a subject of the tender regard and care of the family. Two cruel boys came in the dark, stole upon the helpless bird, seized her and ran away, going toward Water street. The cr'es of the poor robin excited the greatest sympathy, but the hard-hearted boys fled with their victim, to make what use of no one knows. We mention this piece of cruelty that these boys may hear of their wicked and unlawful act, and we hope th<it the law may be put IU force against them.

He died many years ago and left quite a large family of children, all of whom have occupied a high rank in society for their general intelligence and most excellent social qualities. The death of Mrs. llaslett is the first that has oc curred among the children, all having attained a good age, and been remark ably exempt from the attucks of disease. The deceased was one who was justly esteemed by all her acquaintances.

Secretary Windom has issued a call to that effect in pursuance of the indications given in his excellent speech at the banquet of the N. Y. Chamber of Commerce. He there showed that nearly all the holders of six per cents, had gladly embraced the op portunity to have their bonds extended per cent,and declared t hat the same opportunity would now l>e given to the holders ol the five per cents. The law requires that three months' notice shall be fjiven to holders of these bonds, il the Government intends to redeem them. But the operation will doubt less be a mere repetition of the one which IIJIS just succeeded so brilliantly. All thecoupon 5 per cent bonds are call ed for continuance or redemption; and a call is also made for $25 ',000,000 of the registered fives to be continued at |s r cent.

On Monday night, a fine mare, an open buggy and good set of harness were stolen from James Flynn in Union township, a couple of miles west of the city. Mr. Flynn discovered his loss about 6:3 J o'clock on Tuesday morning. He was able to track the thief in the direction of New Castle, until coining ' down MeCleary'a hill, on the Youngs- I town road, when the trail became ob j scured. Fortunately for the owner, ■ the mare was insured in th<» I'enn'a Mutual Horse Thief Detecting Agency land Insurance Co., of York, Fa., and ' will be able to recover at least two-thirds of the value of the mare. The animal is a fine dark dapple bay, six years old, with one white hind foot, and harness marks about the shoulders. The buggy w»s a good one, but not new, and was considerable bespattered with i mud. The harness had been in use for time, put were good and strong. | It is thought that the thieves passed through the city and on towards Butler or Zeiicuople. New Cattle Guardian.

Mourning Cioods in Dress Goods. Trimmings, Shawls, Bonnets, Hats, Veils, Gloves, Ker chiefs, Neck Wear, &c., at RITTER & RALSLON'S. The Sleeping Beauty of the day is a long, slender German youth, who is ' slumbering at Trcxlertown. Penn , and has l»een for more than sixty days. j Various efforts have been made to ' wake him; a revolver has been dis-; charged close to bis ear; he has been J subjected to the operation of a galvanic 1 battery; pins and needles have been pushed into his flesh, and a red hot iron has been passed up and down his j spinal column. The mildest of these ; applications would have induced Dr. I Watts's sluggard to admit that he had not be«n called too soon, and that he i did not wish to slumber again. This i somnolent paragon takes his victuals regularly in a soft or liquid form, in j the shape of boiled eggs and beef tea. j He is a stranger, and when he walked i fast asleep into the hotel sixty days ; ago they thought him to be an impostor, j especially after he had occupied a bed , for several days and nights without { paying for it So they pulled his arm, ' twisted his ears and twitched his hair, • but all to no purpose. He was accor dingly carried still sleeping to the almshouse, where he at present repos es and snores. He has been visited by a great number of doctors, who have given a great number of opinions, ; the most satisfactory one being that there is something wrong in the back part of the slumberer's bruin. Wheth er he dreams is what no doctor can find out. This curious case of life in death we allude to with some missgiv ing, for fear that in this lazy world it may prove epidemic. At 40 « fills.

It seems that the conflict between the President and Senator Conkling over Judge Rol>ertson's nomination is to be waged to the bitter end. But why is Mr. Conkling so sternly opposed to Robertson's appointment? Roscoe Conkling, J. Donald Cam eron, and .John A. Logan entered into a combination two years ago to secure the nomination of Gen. Grant for a third Presidential term. Their plan was to hold conventions at an unusu ally early day iu New York, Peninyl vania, and Illinois for the election of delegates to the Naticnal Convention, and to pass resolutions instructing each delegation to support Grant as a unit. In pursuance of this plot the State Convention of Pennsylvania met ij the first week of February; and, by trampling down the minority, Cameron carried through his part of the scheme. The New York State Convention was held a little la;er iu February. They had a stormy scene; but by much cheating, a little persuasion, and the application of the gag rule at the opportune moment, a resolution instuct ing the delegates to Chicago to support Grant's nomination was adopted though in the face of a large minority vote. Thus Conkling had executed his part of the pla'«, and all seemed to be going forward toward Grant aiid the empire with encouraging alacrity. In further pursuance of the original arrangement, i Logan got the State Committee of ! Illinois togather for the purpose of I calling a convention to elect delegates. } Hut the committee hesitated, quarreled, i and then adjourned for several weeks. Just at this crisis Judge Robertson issued his celebrated letter. He had I been elected a delegate to Chicago, j As in the case of all the other delegates from New York, he was designated ; not bv the State Convention at large, | but b; the delegates who appeared at the State Convention from li s own I Congress district. These latter dele | gates were hostile to the third term, ! and Robertson was their faithful repre j sentative. In his letter he declared 1 that in the National Convention he j should not be governed by tin; resolu j lions of the State Convention, which . claimed to instruct him to vote for ! Grant, but should yield to the senti ment of the majority of the Republi cans of his Congress district, who were opposed to the third term. This letter exploded like a bomb in the Grant camp. Immediately a strong body of delegates in New York rallied to the side of Robertson. The anti- Grant men iu the Pennsylvania dele gation, who had been cowering under I Don Cameron's lash, rose to their feet, i asserted their indej»endence and adopt ' ed the doctrine of Robertson's letter. I The Republicans in Illinois who were opposed to u third term look heart at these demonstrations, and prepared for that desperate struggle which resyl ' ted iu wresting from Logan about one third of iho delegation from his Stat" to Chicago It is correct, therefore, for the oppo nents of Robertson to say that he, more than any other man, set in mo tion the ball that finally crushed the third'term conspiracy at the Chicago Convention.

J —The Massachusetts Legislature seems never to tire of worrying men who drink anything stronger than wa ter. Special enactments on the liquor question are as numerous up there as proposed railroads are here, and each one is more tormenting than its prede cessor. The latest law suggested is simply a fiendis 1 conception It forbids retailers of liquor to use shutters, screens, shades or anything else that can hide the business of their establish ments from officers who may want to look in. This law, if enforced, would make it impossible for a man to explain to his wife or sweetheart that when she saw him go into a bar-room he was merely poing to plav billiards or buy a cigar. It would put an end to Sunday drinking, even by those who approach the bar by the innocent-looking family entrance ; it would also put an end to the p ofitable trickery by which detect ives obtain proof of illepal selling* Against all this nothing can be urged in fuvor of the bill except that it dis-' courages the use of liquor by men who have any sensibilities left. Are thous ands of dearly beloved lounging places to be thrown open to the public gaze merely for the- purpose of saving a few fellows who have not drowned their better feelings in rum ?

Dr. llartman's permanent office is at .'io7 Peun avenue, which will be left in charge of one of his uhle a sue tan t surgeon* during his brief absence, and sojourn with us. In order to remind our numerous readers of the doings of Dr. Hartman we will reproduce th« J following from the Pittsburgh papers: "Mis operation* for Strabismus (cross eyes) can lie counted by the hundreds, and every one successful, and so with other operations. Few surgeons have as many in a life time, it is this wholesale surgery and practice that makes him so pre-eminently successful. The certifi cates and testimonials that he has the privilege of publishing of patients treaied here would fill our paper for a whole week, but hundreds of them are the snmc as those already publish ed in these columns. To convince the render of Dr. Harlnian's cliim ii|K)ii us when sick, we need only to re call the names of a few cases well known t<> us whom he rescued from the very brink of the grave. Mrs. Milo Ingram, daughter of Capt. Hugh MeKelvey, ofthiscitv, had been treated six years for cancer by the most eminent phvsi eiaiis and surgeons, no* only of this city, but New York ami other cities. She liad spent over one thousand dollars with great medical experts, and was told that she must die. Her limbs and body were literally covered with running sores and halfdetaehed masses of flesh; nearly blind and deaf and barelv living. Dr. Hartman was consulted, ai.d declared it was no cancer, but scrofula, and proved it by curing her without the knife and without any painful external applications. Every sore is healed ; she sees anil hears perfectly, and is now in every particular the very model of good health. She now resides at 430 Itebecca street, Alle gheny City. Go and see her. Willie Curtis, 17 years of age, now working in H. K. I'orters A Co.'* Locomotive Works, in this city, had been afflicted with< hronie Rheu matism for one year, unable to work, his joints much enlarged, painful nn.l stiff. The bone* of one side of tlie face were enormously en larged, giving him u most hideous u|.|M'ii ranee. His heart was diseased, with 170 beats in a minute he was euianciated, pale an I almost dy ing. Two eminent Pittsburgh physicians as sured his mother that the end ua - near. Dr. ' Hartman was consulted, and immediately | place I iind'-r his treatment, and in six weeks 1 lie was well and ever since he has been nt work. Go and see liiin, call on his mother, on his employer and on his pastor, and you will, say the half has not been told. A NOT II EH. The Pittsburgh Sundot/ I.rmlrr of October 3rd, tells of a by, the son of Mr. (». W. Logue, of Kedhnnk, Pa , who had bc< n nttcked, about a year ago, with a vertical curvature of the spine, and in spite of the ellorts of several physicians grew rapidly worse, and was soon powerless, and unable to walk from paralysis of his legs. He continued so eight months, and was considered by till physicians within tlieir reach a most Impels* cn«e. Dr. Hartmaii was consulted, who applied an apparatus to his back, rapidly straighten ing him. and in exactly eight days he com menced to walk. It two months since Dr. Hartman took hold of the case, and in that time the improvement in the little patient's condition has been so great that from ndc-form ed and helpless being he is become a bright and active child with a shape |**rfeetly natural ami an cijua! eliuncc of happiness and useful" ■less in alter life with other children. The happy rustoration of their child to health is the cause of much joy to the parents, who arc deeply grately to Dr. Ilurtuiau for his ser vice. We think these references to cases, within the reach of everyone to visit, are sufficient to con vince all persons afflicted that Dr. Hartmun stands at the head of his profession. HA II KII;I>.
