Treasury Order to Purchase Bonds and Sell Gold. ‘The Secretary of the Treasury has authorized the Assistant Treasurer at New York to purchase $1,000,000 of bonds on each Wednesday and to sell $1,500,000 of coin on each Thursday during the month of February. The New Loan an Assured Success. Teiegraphic aavices received here from Europe indicate that the offerings for the new five per cent funded loan of the United States will be in excess ofthe amount advertised forsale. Apart of the foan, however, having been reserved for sale in ‘this country, the Treasury Department is in receipt of numerous applications and ietters of inquiry from the national banks, showing a general dispo- ‘sition to exchange their present securities in the Treasury for the new fives. This action is precipi- ‘tated by the fact that the loan is open for subscrip- tion but for a short time, and by tne further fact ‘that the other issues authorized by the Refunding act bear only four and a half and four per cent in- Lerest. The Geneva Award. The wrangle among the lawyers in Con- gress about the\manner in which the award by tne Geneva Tribunal is to be distributed is increas- ing in bitterness, and may any day break out into @ war of words. Whe Advisory Board of the Civil Service am Council with the President and Cabinet—The New System Approved and Likely to Be Extended. By invitation of the President, George William Curtis and other members of the Advisory Board 1 the Civil Service met the Cabinet during the past week at the Executive Mansion for the pur- pose of interchanging views as to the operation ef the civil service rules, The testimony of all the Cabinet officers was unexpectedly favorable. It ‘was conceded that as arule the persons entering the service under the new system are superior in both capactty and efficiency to those appointed ander the old plan, and the cessation of importu- nity for office is a great relief. There is no likelihood that the administration will recede from the rules | a8 applied to the New York Custom House, where ‘the pressure for place has been greatest. The prospect seems to be that their operation will be extended. It is well known that the members of the Cabinet were not at first generally in accord with the President's views cither as to the neces- sity of reform or the feasibility of the plan pro- posed, Their testimeny as to the rules may, therefore, be accepted as conclusive. The attitude of Congress towards the measure has aiso been greatly changed since the beginning of the session. Finding the-President isin earnest in enforcing the rules, Congress seems to allow him to carry | out the measure without opposition, or at least obstructing legislation. The relief from importa- nity. extends to Congress as to the executive officers, and it is believed that many of the mem- bers are glad to be relieved of what was at best more a disagreeable tax than a privilege which they should not care to,;retain, It may be mentioned that the. Board of Examiners | for the Treasury Department is preparing an { elaborate report to the Advisory Beard on the operation of the rules in their department and in | the New York Custom House. The report gives a complete history of the proceedings of the Board, and describes in aetail the nature of the examina- tions, the system of making and marking up the results and the edect of tiie system on the service. It will be accompanied by interesting statistics showing the results of the examinations and giving the residences, nativity, educa- | tion, occupation and standing of each candi- date examined. The standing of candi- dates will be averaged according to age, education and occupation, so that it may be seen ‘what class of competitors excel in the examina tions, This will prove interesting to all who are sincerely desirous of judging the measure not by Preconceived notions of its probable operation, but by its practical results, and who wish to know exactly what civil service reform in the depart- | ment amounts to. The favorable result of the meeting of the Cabinet and the Advisory Board, and the promotion of Mr. Benedict to the position | of Surveyor of the Port, which has always been copsidered a political prize, are likely to prove extremely reassuring to the friends of the reform. Vice President Colfax on His Deposit in | Bank of June 22, and in Further Exe planation.

The influential members of both delegations from Louisiana in Washington favor this movement, and they say that unless it is done the Senate will fare worse thanever. One thing is conceded now by Kelloga’s best frien@s—that with the present recognized legislation he can never govern the Xtate, General Burnside a Candidate for Com- mander of the Marine Corps—A_ Move- ment on Foot to Increase the Marine Band. ‘4 Since the death of General Meade and for some time before it has been reported and generally believed in military circles that General Burnside aspires to the command of the United States Marine Corps, and, desiring tt, willcertainly get it. ‘This command embraces between two and three thousand men, more than half of whom are in service in forejgn seas, and being an indepen- dent and popular organization, indispensable to the naval establishment, which it , ante- dates, its leadership is much sought after. The present chief, General Jacob Zeilin, is several years beyond sixty-two, the custom- ary retiring age, but is retained in command by the President, who has lawful discretio® in the premises, The bill recently introduced by Senator Logan compelling the retirement of army and marine officers at sixty-two years of age, as is now done in the navy, is likely to be- come a law, and will then vacate this position, even if it should not be done sooner. Heretofore the marine commandant has been selected from the field oficers of the corps, but there is now no law preventing the appointment outside the corps, and there are several eager to enjoy the peivieyes and emoluments. The United States Marine Band, which belongs to the headquarters of the corps in this city, has become, although not originally so in- tended, perhaps the national band of America. Congress .pays it an extra allowance for playing alternately in the grounds of the Capitol and the Executive Mansion in Sum- mer, and no Presidential inauguration, levee or other national function 1s complete without the presence of the marines. The visit of the French, English and Prussian national bands to Boston last year has had the effect of increasing public inter- est in the band, which it is known is not equal to the foreign bands, A movement has been made to increase the number of the bandmen, now thirty, and secure a new and accomplished leader, and an energetic oficer of the corps is designing ® magnificent uniform for the band. Carl Sentz, a well-known Philadelphia director, is among the candidates for the leadership. Poor “Subsidy Pom” En Route to the Capital—Stumbling Blocks in Ingalls’ Way—Kansas Honesty at a Low Ebb. Poor “old subsidy Pom” is on his way here from the scene of his inglorious defeat, and hopes to make such explanations as will satisfy the Senate that he may serve out the remaining month of his Congressional career. Whether he can save him- self remains to be seen. But it is evident that Ingalls, his fortunate rival, will find the entrance to the Senate Chamber a hard road to travel. Whether Ingalls bribed Yorke to entrap Pomeroy is not certain; but it is sure that he is giving testimony, which is on record here, that he “id bribe a United States judge. The testimony was given under oath before the Judiciary Com- mittee of the House of Representatives, which was authorized on the 8th of March last to examine the charges brought against Mark H. Delahay, District Judge of the United States Dis- trict Court for Kansas. Ingalls was one of the witnesses summoned, and he testified that he offered the son-in-law of Judge Delahay $500 if the Judge would open Court at an earlier hour than usual the next morning and give a decree in bank- ruptcy in favor of a client before the other parties could present their claims. The Judge did this, and Ingalls gave his son-in-law a draft on his client in New York. The client, hoy- ever refused to pay the bribe, and the protested draft having been returned, suit was commenced against Ingalls for the amount; but he pleaded that the draft was given for unlawful purposes; thus he avoided paying it. This evidence is now quoted to show that Ingalls is not troubled with conscientious scruples, and thé investigations which have been goipg on of late into the means by which Caldwell secured his seat in the Senate have returned a strong prejudice against Kansas honesty. It is very evident that the Senate must hold a special session after the 4th of March, to exclude at the outset these purchasers of the privi- lege of occupying the chairs which statesmen have occupied im times past, More Rumors of Corruption by the Pa- cific Railroad Company. Rumor implicates two other Senators, besides those who have been before the committee, as having been benefited by the Union Pacific Rail- road, Itissaid that Ames contributed $10,000 to aid in the election of a certain Western Senator to the Senate, although Alley begged him not to be so liberal, saying, ‘If he is defeated you will have lost the inoney, and if he is elected you Can secure his services by giving him the money as a retainer.” It is also intimated that another Senator served as & government director, with the late Cornelius Wendell, who was paid $25,000 to sign a report ac- cepting part of the road, and that each government director received the same sum. The Wilson Com- mittee may ferret out the truth of these stories, but the “Polanders’’ never will, as is plainiy evi- dent. Arrival of the Sumana Lobby. The Samana lobby has arrived and commenced prospecting among members of Congress as to the probability of securing legisiation in behalf of their interests this session, The Appropriation to Meet Expenses for Postage—Congressmen Busy Franking. Heads of departments and bureaus protest that anything like a {air estimate cannot be made, for the next fiscal year, of the appropriation necessary to meet expenses for postage on official business in the time remaining this session. Two years ago estimates were made, but not of a specific charac- ter, and unless these are accepted as a basis for the action of the Appropriation Committee, the designation of the amount will be deterred until the close ef this Congress. ‘The mails from the Capitol already show that members are improving their time in franking books, docu- ; Ments, packages of seeds and such worldly effects as are at their disposal. The committee rooms to- day were visited by industrious Congressmen, Whose finger ends to-night are stiff from the work of writing their honorable names, One of the results of the repeal ef this privilege will be the abolition of the political bureau at the Capitol, from whence, during every campaign, tons of trash have been sent to all parts of the country. The government printer foresees the time when his es- tablishment will not require the capacity of a first class printing house, Our Emigration Treaty with Germany. The subterfuge resorted to many months ago by Secretary Fish to break up and terminate the ne- and Germany for the protection of German emt- grants on the high seas, and which ultimately ied to the retirement of Baron Gerolt, was certainly unworthy of an American Prime Minister, The particulars of the rise, progress and decline of the negotiation have never, to my knowledge, been made public. They are about as follows:—While Count Bismarck does not particularly favor German emigration to the United States, ne is and always has been anxious to give the emigaants ample pro- tection after they leave their old homes and until they are safely landed in the new, or while in transit between the two. Accord- ingly, @ treaty was nbegotiated between the United States and the German Empire, providing for an international Court—half the judges to be appointed by each government—which should have exclusive jurisdiction in cases arising out of wrongs against the persons or property of German emi- grants while on the high seas. When the treaty was nearly ready for the signatures Secretary Fish is said to have suddenly discovered that there was no authority in our constitution for the creation of the proposed international trivunal, and the nego- dhe testimony to be elicited will sustain the original charges of corruption and fraud, It | W generally conceded that neither McMillan or Ray | tiation was abruptly broken off.

The Pacific Ring After Goat Island. The Pacific Ring are rather desperate over the Probable defeat of the Webb steamship subsidies, and are going in strong in favor of the cession of Dearly all of Goat Island for railroad purposes. The Senate Military Committee is to decide before Wednesday morning what it will do with the bill passed by the House granting this cession. Rent of Officers’? Rooms to Be Allowed. A recent letter from the War Department, based upon an opinion given by the Attorney General, autnorizes a fair allowance per month for the rent of rooms for the servants of officers who are on duty in places where government quarters are not sup- plied them, ‘This decision will no doubt take effect from July 1, 1870, the date of the law under which the army and marine corps are now paid, : Wilson’s Committee to Visit the Hub. — Tela probable that Mr. Wilson, chairman of the Crédit Mobilier Committee No. 2, will, as a sub- committee, this week proceed to Boston to examine the books of the Union Pacific Railroad Company. Mr. Boutwell Looking After Poor Jack. The captain of an American vessel having left at a foreign port one of his crew in destitution, sick and disabled, the Collector at New Orleans was instructed by the Secretary of the Treasury not to clear the vessel without the deposit of three months’ extra wages, in accordance with the acts of February 28, 1803; July 20, 1840, and August 18, 1856, and to put the bond in suit in case it was deemed expedient. Philadelphia’s Gift of Granite for the Washington National Monument. The block of sculptured marble donated by tne city of Philadelphia to the Washington national monument will be forwarded to this city next week free of charge. Until arrangements are com- pleted to place it in proper pgsition in the monu- ment, the stone will remain in the lapidarium here. ‘This block has been under the care of the corporate authorities of Philadelphia for some years and has been placed in the room where Washington re- ceived his charge as Commander-in-Chief of the American Army. Changes necessary in restoring Independence Hall to its original shape require the remoual of the block. Settling a Prize Matter. The Supreme Court of the District of Columbia has fixed Tuesday, February 11, for the final hear- ing of the claimants for prize money, amounting to $202,000, accruing from the appraisement of the captured rebel ram Albemarle, The Annual Stock Report of the Statis- ticilan of the Department of Agricul- ture shows that the prices‘of farm animals are better sustained than those of other farm products. Horses command improved prices in nearly all sec- tions of the country. Sheep are somewhat higher than last year, the appreciation being quite gen- eral, though not equal,-in the several States, The prices of cattle have advanced in some States from local causes and receded in others, Milch cows in the South were appreciating in value and declining in many of the Northern States. Swine bear lower rates generally, theugh quite as high as last year in the Eastern States, An analysis of local differences shows that the prices of horses have advanced in New England, New York, Pennsylvania and in the Gulf'States, In New Jersey, where prices rule higher than in any other State, a small decline is apparent, though rates are still relatively high. Though lower prices prevailin Delaware, Maryland, Ten- nessee and Kentucky a slight advance is seen in Virginia, and in horses of tull age in North Caro- lina. In some States which produce horses for the market prices were temporarily reduced and sales limited by the prevailing horse disease, lattle change is noted in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. In Minnesotu, Iowa and Nebraska, where the supply is unequal to thé requirements of widening operations in agriculture, horses of ful; age bear higher prices. There is also an advance in California and Oregon, Working mules com- mand advancing prices in the South. <A slight ad- vance is seen in Indiana, Illinois and Minnesota, Young stock is higher in Kentucky, but the average for full grown is about the same ag last year. Small decline appears in several of the Western States, with some excep- tions, and the rates tor milch cows are not sustained. In Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont cattle were sacrificed last season on ac- count of the partial failure of the grain and hay crops, prices have rallied with an increase of forage. ‘There is an upward tendency in the cot- ton States which keeps pace with the movement toward improvement in the quality and the en largement of the dairy interest. The decline in the average in comparison with last year is from $39 50 to $34 in New York, $37 36 to $82 18 in Ohio, $36 86 to $83 32 in Michigan, $33 77 to $30 73 dn Illinois, $28 49 to $28 18 in Towa and $30 77 to $28 94in Kansas, Other cattle have appreciated in prices in northern New England, and to a smail extent in most of the Southern States, Little change appears in Virginia, Louisiana and Arkansas, The price of cattie four years old has deciined in Ken- tucky from $39 41 to $37 54, in Ohio from $45 16 to $42 43, In Michigan from #4618 to $46, in Wiscon- sin from $42 38 to $37 08, in Minnesota from $38 46 to $36 77, An advance appears in Indiana from $36 53 to $39 06, in Illinois from $36 40 to $38 83, in lowa from $36 16 to $38 83, in Missouri from $29 72 to $30 15 whe younger cattle commanded a proportionate in- crease in these States. The decline in hogs is quite small in corn-producing States—not at all proportionate to the deciine in pork products, In many localities thriving store hogs command as high rates for live weight as is obtaimed for fat slaughtered hogs. — PROVIDING FOR FIRE, Inspection of Boarding and Tenement Houses, Factories, Storechouses, Schools, and the New York Hotel—Facts for our Citizens and the Travelling Public.

SOUTH AMERICA—COAST OF BOLIVIA. The following information on the port of Antofogasta, sometimes known as Antitogasta, has been received from Commanders H P Knevitt and C G8 stanley, RN, of H M ships Fawn ani Peterel, 1872:— ‘ort Antologasta, now used asa place of export for ni- trate, as algo silver ore from the Bolivian mines, and therefore becoming of some importance, lies between Mount Moreno ana Jara, Head, about 6 miles to the south- ward of Chimba Bay. The mole, by observations made by the officers of HMS Fawn, isin lat 23 41 8, and lon 70 WwW. A large white anchor has been painted on the ridge at the back of the town, which, brought to bear from E to E by N; will lead to the bext arichorage, about § cables trom the shore, in from 15 to 20 fathoms, on a bottom of stiff blue mud, covered with coarse sand and shells, and form- ing good holding ground. ‘nis anchorage is unsheltered and exposed tothe heavy SW swell almost invariably experienced on this part of the coast, the swell being more severely felt atthe full and change of the moon and atthe period of the equi- noxes. f The wind is nearly always from seaward during the day, with calm nights and land winds inthe morning; the latter winds are uncertain, but at times they blow with great violence. Neither’ the swell nor the wind, however, have been experienced of sufficient strength to cuuke great anxiety respecting the safety of vessels at anchor. Commander Knevitt observed in Sept, 1872. ten mer- chant vessels moored here, each yessel being secured ‘with two anchors to the southwest and one astern; the were loaded and discharged by means of lighters; whic! there was no difficulty in obtaining. Antofagasta should be approached with great caution, on account of the detached rocks off the port; the reefs extend 3 cables from the shore, forming an inner harbor or creek, running northwost and southeast, about 3 cables long and 70 yards wide at the entrance, in which a depth of from 9 to 15 feet was found. Smail vessels load in this creek, but it is not con- sidered safe on account of the heavy swell on the reefs, and should only be used in case of emergency. Strangers should on no account attempt to enter the creek at night, as the sea breaks at times across the entrance, an serlous accidents, attended with loss of life, have alreazy occurred, SUPPLIRG. ‘The only tresh water to be obtained is condensed and sold at Se per zation; fresh beef ix 20c per Ib, and vege- tables are very scarce. The population, about 5.000, are dependent for their support on the cogsting steamers, which touch at Antofagasta twice a week. Chimbo Bay. to the northward of Antofagast ippears to be a much better anchorage, capabie of jordin shelter to a larger number of vessels, and one in whic they could load and discharge in any weather.

The following information relating to Karachi or Kur- rachee Harbor, with the Increased draught that, vessels ped the port during the SW monsoon may load to, as been issued by the Master Attendant of that port, dated June 26, 1872:— IMPROVEMENT IN HARBOR ENTRANCE. Dredging has Deen again carried on in the new entrance channel to Karachi, and shingle with small boulders of rock are still being removed, auniform depth of from 16 to 17 feet low water being shown throughout its length and breadth (the latter of 't 200 teet). The breakwater this season has been rapidly pushed forward, and about 500 feet has been added to the work of last year, making its completed length in all 790 feet; this, with an additional length of 200 feet of rubble base which is now being deposited. will, it is hoped, afford great pro- tection to the channel in the coming monsoon. The completed portion of the preakwater is found to give already consMerable shelter to the channel, and that up to this time no silting within it has taken place, al- though for some time a heavy monsoon swell ind break have prevailed. The advantage of this new channel has been shown by four ships, varying from to 1046 tons, and drawing froth 183 to 20 feet, sailing within the last few days sately into port. It must be remembered that three years since all these ships must, had they arrived off the port during the SW monsoon, have been sent te Bombay to Ugutes, and that, so late as last year only, a vessel drawing 20 feet could not have crossed the bar; moreover, all vessels were then compelled, at considerable expense and some Hg to tow, instead of running directly into port under sa This notice affects British Ac ty Charts N Mo haan oe eee BAY OF BENGAL—MERGUI ARCHIPELAGO, ‘The following account of outlying dangers in the Mer. gui arenipelae not marked in the charts, on one of which HMS Daphne grounded on the Sth July, 1872, has been received from Commander Richard’ T Bateman, RN, of this shij The Ouplice Rocks, in the northwest part of the archi- pelago, one about 12 feet high and the other awash, are less, to be delivered on board vessels off Whitestone, one dollar; five cents for every additional word.

Medical science is admitted by every one to have made- ‘Vast stiri within the last uateee of @ century, an many diseasqs which have until recently been considere necessarily tatal are now rendered améenable to treat- ment. All science, however, advances butslowly, and in* nothing is this axiom so true as in the curative process. There are, indeed, diseases which until lately have com- pletely battled the most practised skill and abstinately’ retused to yleld to any method. Foremost antung these is Consumption, that terrible scourge which modern civilization seems to increase rather than diminish, and which, more than any other, perhaps, tends to become hereditary in any tamily it has once attacked. A small deposit in the lungs, arising, perhaps, from so common an- occurrence as a neglected cough or cold, a sudden wetting to the skin or any other of those numerous accidents to which we are ail lable, has sent thousands to the tomb and poisoned the biood of generations. To such an extent, indeed, have its ravages been carried that Co! sumption may, in more countries than one, be justly re- garded as u national calamity. Nor have the remedies hitherto administered been, in. many respects, better than the disease itself. ‘The Eng- lish and American doctors generally, despairing of cur- ing the patient, have simply sought ‘to alleviate the suf- ferings and smooth the passage to the grave. It this could be effected they imugined their whole duty discharged, their whole work done. In England the plan generali advised has been based, on change of scene. | The sic have been sentto Nice, Hxypt or Madeira, and what these> places are to Europe Florida has been to Amcrica. In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, however, the change of climate has wrought no cure, and the only visible re- sult has been that, instead of a deathbed surrounded by the gentle jninistrations of relatives and ‘friends, the con- ricken has passed. away in a foreign land, Even this alleviation: imptive- led too often by stran, d slightly prolonged term of lite were possible only to: the wealthy; the poor and those whose circumstances would not admit of such a migration were necessarily de voted to a tate no less certain, but more rapid. To the man, therefore, who, after frequent experiments and diligent investigation, has at length discovered a process by which this plague can be stayed, and which, while thoroughly efficacious, is within the reach of all, @ statue seems to be due no less than to Jenner in Lon- don, er Bichat in Paris, and we are proud to be able to name an American as the great benefactor ot his species. to whom this tribute must be assigned. Ur. Joseph H, Schenck, of Philadelphia, is, in one word, the first hysician Who has conclusively proved that Consump- ion can be cured. His zeal has, no doubt, been stima- lated by the tact that it 8 hereditary in his seme His father, mother, brothers and sisters all died of it, and he hithselt was wasting away. when, atter a lon series of experiments, he finally adopted the differen | ein Poee| which have already made his name iamous rom Maine to Mexico, and rescued thousand, upon thou- sands from the untold pains that herald the approach to a premature grave. The good thus conferred upon the community has been so widespread and universally cou- fessed thatitis become one of the events of the period, pee snl the leading journals have everywhere re- ers only. « Betore naming the remedy it will illustrate the osigan il we brietly reter to a tew of the leading teaturcs of the disease itself.

This expectorati the effort nacure herself makes to expel the foreign sub- substance from the lungs, but emaciation and general debility so radidly rollow the progress of the malady that unless nature is alded it soon becomes first dit it, then impossible, and finally the lungs themselves come coagulated with a yellowish, curdy matter, and death is the only relict Other symptoms are very strike ing, and among them we may mention an increased brightness in the eye, and a hectic and often, to the ex. perienced eye, a beautiful brilliancy in the compicxion. It results, therefore, that while the most important organ of the body is diseased, the stomac being ‘eranged,, refuses to prepare healthy blood to renovate the debiki- tated system, and consequently itis not enouzh to at- tempt to get-rid of the tubercles already formed. The dis- ease cannot be treated locally, that ts, 1n the lings only; it must also be attacked in its origin—the blood and: stomach. . The stomach and the bowels must first, then, be: cleansed, and this Dr. Schenck effects by his prepara- tion called Mandrake Pills. They are a most excelie: aperient, and, containing no calomel or other minerals, but being composed solely of vegetable matter, they open the bowels gently, but thoroughly, without result ant weakness or griping jpains. They act also upon the liver idneys, wakening the former from a duil, torpid+ state, and thereby creating the healthy flow indispens able to proper digestion, and restoring the latter to their natural activity. The stomach and its organs being thus ready to serve, like a well cleaned kitchen, as it were, for the preparation of wholesome natriment for the formation of purc blood, the next step is naturally to: recreate the lost appetite. This the Doctor effects by the Seaweed Tonic, which not only tones the stomach’ but does itin such a manner that there is no reaction, and the natural craving for food is thus re tem prepared for it. The emaciated or debilitated s1 aaa eee feels the beneficial results, With a be hy Aigestion nutritious food reasserts its strength and Weal ing power, the action of the heart and pulses becomes regular, the unnatural brightness of eye and check disappears, and a stronger, richer and purified blood is pumped through the arteries and veinous system + the thinned, diseased fluid, almost miscalled blood, is and a circulation established from which sare deposited. The flesh, weight and strength are gradunily restored, and vigorous health takes the place of a rapid decline in all energy and vital power. Meanwhile, however, the disease must also he ireated locally, and the Pulmonic Sy: pymares alvo by Dr. Schenck, is the agent employed. It strenthens at once the weakness of the lungs and the whole frame, and being at the same tume the bes; expectorant known, en- ables the consumptive sick to eject the dead and tiseased matter accumulated in the lungs, and therebs them full freedom to avail themselves of the inf the new and enriched blood procured by the use of the Mandrake Pills and the we Tonic. The Syrup blends with the food, and consequently reaches every art of the body, bracing the bronchial tubes, removing. he soreness and pain in the chest and sides, and giving: = play to the recuperative energies ot reinvigorated. r nature. This method thus adopted is so in harmony with tie. dictates of common sense that We are tempted to toel. eaves Hux of surprised at the late epoch in ie modern history of nyeic t which it. has been tried; it has doubtless boon [ingago attempted, and simply required the uni ct the wonderful properties of Schenck’s Mandrake: Pills, Seaweed Tonic and Pulmonic Syrup practically. to demonstrate its complete efficiency. nd what manner of man is this Who has thus done so mach for humanity .
