Dear Madam: I shall always take pleasure in recom- mending your “Vita Nuova” to athletes, particularly oarsmen suffering from too much training. During a rgidand exceptionally severe course of hard training under Charles Courtney, our “coach,” I became ill and debilitated from an attack of dysentery, but foolishly continued my bard work (averaging s row of 25 miles per day), until I had “trained down” from 180 pounds to 147, and became complately pros- trated, or what boating-men called “overtrained.” “Vita Nuova” has completely restored my wasted vitality, and I feel so full of new life aud grateful that I desire personally to thank you. I used “Vita Nuova” ‘through the recommendation of Mr. Blow, of St. Louis, ROBERT LEE McCOMB, “Stroke” Cornell University Crew, Vita Nuova (New Life) is the best remedy for dys- Pepsia, nervousness, sleeplessness and overwork. It weak stomach; it will rest the weary brain; it will “brace up” the shattered nerves, Asitis ‘made from the prescription of a famous physician, you fare not taking © quack medicine.

THW.ST CORNER For Ou» Proms Inold people the nervous system is weakened, and tha t must be strengthened. One of the most promi- nent medical writers of the day, in speaking of the prevalence of rheumatic troubles among the aged, says: “The various pains, rheumatic or other, which old peo- ple often complain of, and which materially disturb their comfort, result from disordered nerves.” There it is im a nutahell—the medicine for old people must be nerve tonic. O14 people are beset with constipation fistulency, drowsiness, diarrhos, indigestion, rheums- tistn, neuralgia. These diseases are of nervous origin, Paine's Celery Compound, that great nerve tonic, is ‘almost a specific in these disorders, and by its rerulat- ing influence on the liver, bowels, and kidneysremoves the disorders peculiar to old age. Old people find it stimulating to the vital powers, productive of appe- tite, and # promoter of digestion.

Worthington, esq., on bealf of Mr. Joseph Paul, protesting against what appears to be an effort to evade the provisions of the act of Congress to late the subdivision of land” in the rict of Columbia. Mr. Worthington says that early in August there was left with the surveyor of the District, a plat of those two sections known as “Petworth” and “Linden,” and that on the 13th of August the record book in ihe surveyor's office, Kuown as county seven” was signed in Diani at page 11 by BH. Warner and M. M. Par- Ker as trustees ior Linden. The plat, he says, that Was left with the surveyor provided feet and avenues The surveyor Was instructed by sons leaving the | map | with | him Tediice the width of streets to 60 feet, and of all the avenues to 90 tect, also to omit entirely two ‘streets, 3d and 7th, which appear on the plat. He says, in. conclusion, that be ‘understands that ‘the surveyor is ‘now engaged in Preparing a jnew plat in conformity With the above tnstr and proposes completed to place a copy of it upon the record book over the signatures in question to the end that it may appear to have been recorded before the Sage of the act of Congress, and asks {he streets and avenues on this plat do not oon- form with tl ab of thecity, they should ot be allowed to go upon the record’ ONE OF THE TRUSTEES RXPLAING, ‘Mr, M.

A serious breach has occurred in the House be- tween Mr. Tracey, of Aloany, N. Y., and Speaker Carlisle, The trouble grew out of the Speaker's action, as stated in Taz Stan, in appointing the second conference cOmumittee on the Army appro- Priation bill. This morning Mr. Tracey resigned from all the committees to which he had been ap- Potnted at the beginning of the session. Mr. Tra- Gey has been greatly interested in the Dil. When ‘the conference report was made to the House and Fejected, thus throwing out the armament ‘amendment, Mr. Tracey made a point of no quo- Tum, but was induced to withdraw it under prom- fees. When the vote rejecting the report was an- Rounced the following occurred: ‘The House again divided, and the tellers reported OWie Tracey’ sete tee Sota of no quorum. . r—I make the no Mr. Townshend—I desire to say here that so far as lam concerned I deem the action of the House a8 a verdict of the House upon these amendment nd if T am on the conference committee again Shall make that fact known, leaving the question entirely with the Senate to determine.

Several Members—That is right, Mr. Tracey—I had raised une question of no quo- Tum, and 1 desire to make an explanation here. 1 ‘mn Strongly of the opinion, Mr. Speaker, that the ‘Majority of this House 1s in favor of these amend- ments if we had a quoruin, as a vote was taken sume time ago waich practically decided the ques- Uon by a majority of thirty, but many gentlemen ‘are away at present, and I wouid like the vote con Hinued until @ larger number of members can De oct ‘Mr. Burnes, Mr. McMillin, and others—You can ge. it on the report of a turther conference, ‘The Speaker pro tempore—The point of no quorum was not made in time, omit: Trcey—I made the point ot no quorum at ‘The Speaker pro tempore—The chair will sccept ‘the statement orthe gentieman ‘that the point of ial demand the yess anduayst Sot mai yeas and ni Mr. Tracey “MF.

When tt became known that the Speaker had appointed, as conferees, Une two leaders of the op- position to the bill, Messrs. Sayers and Ryan, of the appropriations couumittee, Mr. Tracey was in- dignant, tuinking that he had been unairly and discourteously treated. He had @ talk with the ‘Speaker yesterday morning, the result of the in- terview ‘nou being very satistuctory two elther. It Was rather testy un both sides, Mr. Tracey not con- cealing his feeling of personal affront, and the ‘Speaker treating the matter rather cavalterly. ‘Mr. Tracy at Once decided Lo eimphasize bis re- gentment by revurning ali committee favors to the peaker, Tu speaking on the subject with a Stan reporter this mlorninge Mr-Tracey suid that he wed Gone Chis as the only tiny open to him to show tbat he did Dot accept complacenuy. such treaument of Mitn- Self and the interests of his cousuituents, He Thought that gentiewen bad taxeo advantage of the Speaker's pilant disposition and influenced him to Lake the course he had in the matter. He id not oppose the fortification bill of tue House, Dutdid uot want to let the armament amendment drop until there was some certainty tbat some fortification bill would become a iaw. He thought AUdue to the people of New York, who are dveply interested in the question, tuat he should not iet the whole matter drop without a struggle.
