Corbin, master of ceremonies at York- town, has issued a circular in reply to many inquiries as to what arrangements have been made tor the accommodation of the governors of states who have accepted the invitation-of the commission to participate in the ceremonies. The circular says: “The absence of original facilities and accommodations at that point, together with the improbability of first-class hotels being erected for that occasion, has here- tofore deterred the commission from making any definite decision in the matter. Some of the governors have solyed the problem themselves, by indicating a desire, and in some cases an abso- Mute determination to go into camp with their troops. It has therefore been decided to erect tents of sufficient capacity and comfort at the head of each state line, directly facing the “Moore” house, the parade grounds, and Gen- eral Hancock's headquarters, for the use of the governors of the states, and these tents will be surrounded by other ‘tents for their several staffs. The Governors’ tents will be floored and ditched, and made as comfortable as possible. It isrequested, in thisconnection, that the state flag be brought to surmount the tent of the Executive. It is believed that this course will commend itself for manifest reasons ‘to all con- cerned. At the same time, in order that those who may be disinclined to gointo camp, par- ticularly to lodge there at night, invitations have been sent to the governors of all the states, individually, to become the guests of the Commission on board the steamer “George Leary,” which will lie at the wharf during the ceremonies, at a convenient distance from the grounds; on board which state rooms will be re- served for them and their ladies, and meals will be served on board at all hours. ‘THE NAVAL DISPLAY AT YORKTOWN. Lieut. Commander H. C. White, U.S. N., has been designated as navy harbor master at the anchorage in York river during the Yorktown centennial. In addition to the other naval ves- sels to congregate at Yorktown there will be the tugs Mayflower, Standish, Fortune and Speed- well. One of them will be detailed to assist Harbor Master White. The others will report to Rear Admiral Wyman, commanding the North Atlantic naval force assembled at Yorktown when he arrives there about October 12th, in the Tennessee, his flag-ship. Admiral Wyman will leave the anclforage at New York next Monday with the vessels under his command, and the French corvette Dumont D'Urville, to 'await the arrival of the French guests of the United States at the quarantine station and then to land them in New York. Returning to the anchorage the Kearsage and Vandalia will, on the second day after their arrival, take the guests aboard and go to West Point. The guests will return by rail to New York. The North Atlantic squadron will then proceed to Yorktown, possibly stop- ping at Hampton Roads to fill the complements of the vessels, if there should be time before the 12th of October. — ae The Woodlawn Agricultural Club. ITS MONTHLY MEETING HELD IN THIS CITY. The Woodlawn Agricultural Club, of Fairfax county, Va., held their monthly meeting to-day in this city at the residence of Col. William H. Chase, on 11th street. The meeting, which is in progress this afternoon, is well attended. Among those present are the president, Mr. Robert F. Roberts; the secretary, Hon. N. W. Pearson; Dr. E. P. Howland, Col. Curtis, Dr. McKim and Mr. H. B. Moulton, There were many ladies in attendance. Dr. McKim read & paper on the subject “How shall we re- store the fertility of our soils?” He advocated | green manuring—the turning under of green and suggested rye as particularly ec This process, he held, would enrich soils that had been thinned and washed away. Col. Chase suggested as a mode of preventing s from being washed, that lands be terraced, are some of the cotton plantati south, strips of sodded ground 3 or 4 fe being left at interyals. Dr. McKim’s paper was discussed at considerable length. ‘The club was entertained at lunch by Col. and Mrs. Chase. On to Yorktown. F THE DEPARTURE OF THE LIGHT BATTERY. The blare of the bugle and the sound of tramping horses brought everybody out in the street along the river front to-day to witness the departure of light battery A, 2d artillery. to Yorktown. It wasa pretty sight in. th light—white helmets and flashing sabers an unusual sight, too—a battery fully equipped for along march. The battery left the barracks at half-past nine this morning. There were seventy men (including two buglers), officered as follows: Brevet Lieutenant Colonel A. C. M. Pennington, commanding; First Lieutenant A. D. Schenck, First. Lieutenant E. S. Curtis, Sec- ond Lieutenant E. M. Weaver and Second Lieu- tenant M. R. Richards. Lieutenants Curtis and Weayer this morning relieved Lieutenants Dudley and Edgerton, — respe ely. battery expect to reach Yorktown about the 10th. They could be seen with the glasses to- day almost until th hed Alexandria. Their route lay along Water street to the Long bridge, thence across into Virginia, and down the river. Their course could be followed a long way by the dust raised by the heayy guns and caissons. js equipped with 3-inch rifled Parrot guns. ht the battery will go into-camp about six miles below Alexandria. The idea of marching these troops to York- town does not spring altogether from senti- ment. To take one of the batteries with its heavy equipments and horses to Yorktown would require a larg @ con- sidered economical to send them overland, while at the same time, traveling afoot and horseback is in keeping with the poetry of the occasion. ee FINED FoR HavrinG OFFENSIVE MATTER TurovGH THE StREETS.—This afternoon, in the Police Court, Abraham Atwell, Horace Conway, John Jones and James Grady, all cart drivers, were charged by Dr. Townshend, of the heath with hanling deco aposed and offensive animal and vegetable matter through the streets in open carts. Mr. Fred. Jones, counsel for the defendants, asked the court to dismiss the dri- vers, because they were driving these carts for a living; and as their employers were charged, he thought that the public interest would be proketed by prosecuting the principals. Messrs. 4. Clay Jones and Jas. Frawley. Health Officer Townshend and several policemen testified to the extreme offensiveness of the snbstances that The A Basy Season Predicted.

While in Philadelphia the principal artists of W.

Then, I remarked, the different performers and many of the attaches must ne- cossarily meet with considerable exposure, and I should think that rheumatism, neuralgia, Iumbago and the ef- fects of bad colds would be very prevalent among them. 1 was met with the reply: ‘‘Oh, in cases of rheumatism or complaints of that kind, they know how to cure themselves very speedily. St. Jacobs Oil isa very pop- ular remedy among our people for rheumatic pains, and as long as they can get that they don't suffer much.” I became interested at the mention of St. Jacobs Oil and said to Mr. Hamilton: ‘Can you refer me to any of the more prominent members of your combination who have been using St. Jacobs Oil for rheumatisn?

He never found any permanent re- | lief until he tried St. Jacobs Oil, and, while he has en- tirely recovered, he always takes several bottles of the remedy with him when he goes on the road, and has recommended many of his people to do the same thing. Mr. W. D. Hagar is one of the managers of W. C. | Coup’s Show and has deen in the cireus and show busi- ness for many years, in which he has made a fortune. ‘Mr. Hagar has been using St. Jacobe Oil with excellent effect, and the acute rheumatic pain, from which he suffered for many months, has been removed by the use of the Great German Remedy. Mr. Hagar says he would “Business is very dull now,” said a theater manager. “The death of President Garfleld and the continued hot weather accounts for it.

He was busy making prepar- ations to leave for W: igton next week, not only to take part in the organization of the Sen- ate, but also to push matters incident thereto. He converses with comparative ease, although the wound is not healed, and his physicians as- sure him that it will in no wise interfere with | his speech when fully cured.

Mr. A. Nathans is another manager of Coup's Show. His name has been prominently identificd with the cireus business for many years, and he has had contro, of many of the most celebrated circus companies in the United States. What has been said about Mr. Coup and Mr. Hagar with regard to rheumaticm and St. Jacobs Oil applies with equal force to Mr. Nathans. The Jiniment relieved his rheumatic pains when nothing else, noteven the best medical treatment, did him any | good worth mentioning, He is enthusiastic in his praice | of the Oil and thinks it isan excellent thing for circus organizations to take with them while traveling. Another strong advocate of the great German Remedy is Mr. I. Jukes, now connected with Conp's Show, but ‘ho has been associated with P. T. Barnum in his various show enterprises for the past ten years. Mr. Jukes is well known about the country as the manu- facturer of the steam musical chariots, which are such prominent features of the mammoth traveling shows. This gentleman has been using St. Jacobs Oil for rheumatic affections with the most gratifying results. One of the greatest bareback riders is Mr. George Melville, now with Coup's Show, and who came to this country with an enviable European reputation. Soon after his arrival here Mr. Melville became subject to rheumatic attacks, whiéh affected him so that he could rideat times only with great difficulty. He tried every- thing, and only obtained permanent relief by using St. Jacobs Oil. Xr. Melville says he feels safe from rheu- matism as long as he can obtain St. Jacobs Oil, and he hopes when he returns to Europe to find that the Oil has been introduced there, He uses the Oil when he feels a pain of any kind. Mr. James Melville, the father of thereat bareback rider, also connected with Coup's Show, has been greatly beuefitted by the use of St. Jacobs Oil since he has Leen in the United States. Mr. George Middleton (now with Coup's Show) was for many years proprietor of Middleton's Museum, in New York, and is well known in the amusement world. He has charge of the menaxerie connected with the great show. Mr. Middleton not only indorses St. Jacobs Oil in rheumatic cases (and he tried it thoroughly), but he says be has used it with excelient effect in several in- stances where wild animals have been suffering from pain. In his opinion it is a sort of universal panacea for pains and aches, Mr. G. A. Farini was for several years the manager of the Westminster Aquarium, at London, and is the inventor of the wonderful feat of shooting ayoung lady from a cannon, now being done at every performance of Coup's Show.
