Continuing, he said: "The years that have passed since the assassination have been years of sore trial to Mrs. Lincoln.

When the nation was shocked so much over that terrible tragedy how much more must she have been shocked who stood by him, who years before had placed a ring on her finger inscribed L. TO MARY; LOVE 13 ETERNAL. I deem it no disrespect to her mem ory to say that when Abraham Lincoln died his wife died also. At the close Rev. T.

Gentlemen: For yean I have been a great sufferer from Dyspepsia, and could get no relief (having tried everything which was recommended) until, acting on the advice of a friend, who had been benefitted by Brown's Iron Bitters, I tried a bottle, with most surprising results. Previous to taking Brown's Ikon Bittbrs, everything I ate distressed me, and I sutfered greatly from a burning sensation in the stomach, which was unbearable. Since taking Brown's Iron Bittors, all my troubles arc at an end. Can eat any lime without any disagreeable results. 1 am practically another person.

at Detroit, asking justico to be done Gen. Fitz John Porter. Mr. Sewell gave notice ho would call the bill for Gen. Porter's relief the first Monday in December next.

The Senate is discussing the bill in troduced by Logan having for its object the modification of the Chinese bill so as to allow the Chinese to pass throw the country on their way to China with out stopping en route. Logan hoped the prejudice against the Chinese passing through the country would not be car ried the extent of turning over to foreign ocean lines the traffic that legitimately belongs to our home lines of transit. JIouwo. Washington. July 19.

The Houso resumed consideration of the South Car olina contested election case of Small vs. j.iuujau. After speeches bv Messrs. Briefs and Atherton, Mr, llorr took his stand in the space in iront ol the (Speakers desk and with a small cane pointed out to the House the boundary lines of the Congressional districts of the State of South Carolina under the re-districting. He also produced diagrams of each dis trict separately and declared it was not gerrymandering, it was do'vnrigt villainy.

Mr. Atherton inquired whether that gerrymandering was not as fair as the gerrymandering of the Fourteenth Dis trict ol Ohio, which was to inflict upon Congress another of the Horr family. Ilorr replied, when Congress was m- flctod with his brother he could take care of himself. Mysterous Abduction at Montreal. Montreal, July 19.

Montreal seems to be fast advancing into metropolitan fame, at least so far as crime and villainy are concerned. Yesterday a thrill of horror was felt by the citizens when it was made known that the man sion of Melvyn Smith, an American cap- talist trom uoston, resident here lor years, had been entered last night by a band of scoundrels, who carried off his third child, a bright boy of 3 years. On the cot Irom whence the sleeping babe was stolen a letter was found demanding the payment of $10,000 within two days or his existance would be terminated. Most horrible threats wero also contained in it against the father's life if he failed to comply er set the police at work. The human fiends entered the second flat, where the object of their search was sleeping, by means of a The window inside was open, but the green blinds common here were shut; Two slats were cut out and the inside button unfastened.

There were no further obstruction. The villains passed through the bedroom of the mother and entered the nursery and abducted the little sleep ing boy, and made good their retreat without anyone seeing or hearing them, although Mrs. Smith and he mother were sitting in an adjoining room reading, the door being open and giving an unintcrupted view into the nursery from the spot whero the mother was sitting. A small terrier dog, got to keep watch after a burglary previously committed in the house, was in a box in the children's room, but slept through the time the thieves were at work. In addition three servants were down stairs all the time, making five adults in tho house.

The time of abduction was not late, it being between 9 and 10 o'clock. For some years past Mr. Smith seems to have had a nemesis hanging over his path, al though no cause can be assigned for such a state of things, as he is a most in offensive and respected citizen. The first disaster that fell upon him was the burning of his extensive livery stables, with all the horses, four years ago, by incendiaries, causing him a loss of In attempting to arrest the per petrators of the arson the care-taker of the premises was murdered by the in cendiaries. The next villainy was the breaking into Mr.

Smith's house an stealing $20,000 worth of diamonds. precious stones and jewelry. The latter feat was accomplished two years ago. Subsequently the robbers entered into negotiations by letter with their victim for the return of one very valuable dia mond, an heirloom. They wanted $2,500 for its redemption, but afterwards accepted 1,000 which was paid and no questions Now comes the most heart-rending blow of all the abduct ion ot a darling child.

Ihe parents are in a state of absolute frenzy and it only through the persuasion of friends that tne money demanded was not lorth coming. At a late hour tho boy was found standing on the doorstep alone a mile from his fathor's house, having been left there by his kidnappers in their flight. Star Konto Trials. Washington, July 19. In the Star Route trial to-day Kerr began an argu ment for the prosecution upon the ad missibility of the evidence of the wit ness John O.

Walsh.

Www 3olm THE WAR. DERVISH PASHA. Alexandria, July 19.

THE KHEDIVE'S CONDUCT. Alexandria, July 19.

The conduct of the Khediye causes much surprise. lie has for the last few days allowed several persons to be at the place who are well known to have been intimately connected with Arabi Pasha. The Khedive apparently trusts them, but it may be he is endeavoring to get them thoroughly in his power. ARABl'S JUSTIFICATION. Constantinople, July 19.

Arabi Pasha defends his action and says jhe was fully justified by law and by decis- on of the council of Ministers in re plying to the British fire. ATTITUDE OF GERMANY. Berlin, July 19. The Cologne Ga zette aud the Berlin North German Gazette print articles on the Egyptian question which are regarded as being directly inspired and representing not only the policy of Germany, but of other powers, except England and France. The articles state the Egyptian question will not be rife for Germany after Western Powers have come to mutual understanding to apply for the assent of Europe.

In view of general need of peace England may rely upon support on all sides in her endeavor to bring about the settlement of the question especially if she strictly adheres to the role of defender to her just interests. STARVING POPULACE. London, July 19. A correspondent of the Telegraph at Alexandria says: drove, yesterday, nine miles along the line of Arabi Pasha's retreat, and passed several villages, the people in which are starving. The entire ronte is lined with carriages and dead horses.

England. London, July 19. The statement that the arrears bill had passed through the committee in the Commons Monday night was an error.

Itoltl Klaekniailer New York, July 19. Wm. II. Mun- dy, formerly a newspaper reporter, but now a lawyer, will soon be brought to trial for wholesale blackmailing. Ilis scheme was a comprehensive one and wa3 designed to make him rich by levying blackmail on all the liquor sa loons and houses of ill-fame that sell liquor without a Under the law, private citizens who wish to prosecute illicit liquor selling must first notify the Police Board, and if that body does not begin suit itself within ten days the citizen can enter suit himself.

Muudv sent his list of sellers to the board wrapped up in a copy of the City Record, which nobody reads, and Mundy's list found its way to the waste basket unopened. He then began his blackmailing operations, and frightened a good many dealers into paying him from .9100 to S250 not to prosecute them. His most profitable victims were the proprietors of houses of prostitution. Some of the parties whom he 'served with summons got mad, and decided to fight the matter in the courts, and in that way Mundy's methods were exposed. The Freight Iaw Proceedings.
