The second presic the United States participated in one of these wrangles, and with disastrous results to himself and to his party. in Adams s the official referred to, and the quarrel in which he was engaged was with Alexander Hamilton, These the two most con spicuous members of the federal party next to Washington himself. They appeared to concelved a dislike for each other in their officlal life, and it continued after both left political office. Both held stations the ontset to the end of their public carcer. Adams was vice president during the two terms of Washington in the presidency, and then went to the latter office, while Hamilton was at the head of the treasury during Washing ton's first and part of his second term. When Washington's restralning influence was removed and Adams went to the front this dislike soon took a shape which was embarrassing to Adams and ultimately fatal to him and to the party. i Strangely enough, the state of New York figured in most of the feuds between presi- dents and presidential candidates and other leaders of thelr pa The electoral vote of that state, which Adams received in 1706, and which he expected in 1800, but Which was cast against him in that year, defeated him In the canvass for re-election, and Hamilton's personal hostility to Adams was probably one of the chicf reasons for the loss of that state. Hamilton did not bolt the ticket, but he was anxious o get more votes for Pinckney, who was Adams' running mate, than for Adams, and thus make Pinckney president, the constitution at that time glving the first office to the candidate having th highest number of votes, and the second office to the one ranking next to him. Hamilton wrote a letter during the canvass of 1800 which was intended for southern circulation, but which was published in the north also, in which he attacked Adams and championed Pinckney, his endeavor belng to secure for Pinckney, who was a South Carolinian, so Jarge a lead in his section that he would be ahead of Adams in the aggregate, but the letter had a demoralizing effect on federalists everywhere, for Pinckney's own state, which gave its clectoral vote to one federalist and one democ earlier, when Adams was and Jefferson, the democrat cast all its electoral vote for crats in 1800. Hamilton's own state, York, did likewise, and the result was that Adams received 65 electoral votes in the Whole country, Pinckney 64 and Jeffer: and Aaron Burr,- democrats, 73 each Slamilton’s state had declared for Adams | e would have had a_good majority in the | “jectoral college. This Adams-Hamilton soarrel had the effect of changing the con- stitution as well as of defeating the federal party, for the contest in the house of rep- resentatives on account of the tie, which gave Jefferson the first office and Burr the second, resulted, in an alteration of the or- ganle law, in the respect that electors ever since have voted for president and vice president separately. That quarrel did more than temporarily remove the federalists from power. It conspired with other causes to keep them out of power permanently, and, after a serics of disastrous reverses, their organization collapsed at the close of the vanvass of 1816, Tyler was the next of whose quarrels with leaders had a disastrous influ on his_political fortunes. Tyler, who was elected to the vice presidency In 1840, on the ticket with W. H. Harrison, and who went to the higher office on the death of his chief, a month after the term began, contrived very carly in his service to turn against him all the prominent men who helped to put him in office. It fs not at all certain that Tyle under the most favorable circumstances pos sible, could have secured the nomination for the presidency in 1844, but his course in the first year of his service utterly and permanently destroyed all chances which he would have had for securing that honor. The wrangle in Adams' case had been more personal than political, although the disagreement between him and Ham- fiton was partly due to differences of opinion on questions of policy, but the quarrel in Tyler's case was political al- together at the outset, and took on a per- sonal phase merely as a result of hatred which his party chiefs entertained for him and what they termed his treason to the organization which elected him. The whigs earnestly desired to re-establish the United States bank, the charter for which the democrats in Jackson's days in the presi- dency had refused to remew. Congress, under the leadership of Clay, passed a bank Dill early in the extra session of 1341, but Tyler vetoed it. Then another bill wa framed on lines which, its friends supposed, would meet Tyler's objections, but this en- countered a like fate. Then warfare against him; which had been threatened previously if he continued to obstruct the purpose of his party, was precipitated. The veto was recelved on September 9, and all the cabinet, except Secretary of Sta ster, resigned on the 11th, wnich wa day. The end of the session had been for Monday, the 13th, and the whig leade: thought that the retirement of so many members of his cabinet at that critical time would force Tyler to sue for peace with the chiefs. In this hope, however, they were disappointed. Tyler immediately selected new appointees fo fill the vacant plac The ofticials who stepped down were Thomas Ewing, secretary of the treasury; John Bell, secretary of war; George E. Badger, secr tary of the navy; John J. Crittenden, at- torney general, and Francls Granger, post- master gencral, all of whom had been ap- pointees of Harrison, and who held over under Tyler. Walter Forward was made secretary of the treasury; John Mel Becretary of war; Abel P. Upshur, secretar of the navy; Hugh 8. Legare, attorney gen- eral, and Charles A. Wickliffe, postmaster general. In his own organization Tyler was the most cordially hated and thoroughly discredited of all the men who ever held the presidential office, and the quarrel in which he was engaged with his party chief- tains put the democrats in power in con- gress in 1842, and, with the Texas annexa tion issue, on' which the democrats held the popular side, put them in power in the presi- | dency of 1844, Van Buren early In bis career in the pres- | Idency got into trouble with his party in his pwn state of New York—that state which has 50 often turned the scale in presidential canvasses, It I8 true Now York's electoral vote, which was cast agalst Van Buren in 1840, did not defeat him, for the majority nst him was so great that he would have been beaten if that state had clung to him, but the democratic factional fights in the state during his term and shortly afterward unquestionably defeated the party In the prosidential election of 1848. The “Albany Regency,” which Van Buren formed early in his public career, and which aided him in | reaching the senate, the governor's chair, | the vice presidency and the presidency, was | composed of half a score or over of as dex- trous and resourceful political workers as ever pooled their lssues in any cause. Some of these men, however, as Willlam L. Marc: and Silas Wright, were statesmen of great prominence and ability and of undoubted purity and public spirit. Fortune turned against the “Little Magician,” Van Buren, early in his days in the presidency. The panic of 1837, which set in a month or two after he entered the white house, which produced a business disaster more extended and lasting than any subsequent financial convulsions caused, and which continued throughout the entire term. handicapped him seriously in the race for re-election in 1840, and the wa¥e of popular enthusiasm which started for ‘“‘Tippecance (Harrison) aud Tyler, t0o," the whig candidates for the sehil- were have carly until prominent m the presidents of his party | ola | sho brought him to the ve - second offices, respectively, the middle of that canvass, completed Van Buren's discomfiture.

These were Grant, Hayes and field. The Hayes affair, although producing excitement at the time, had no important ¢ lasting results, but the other two ¢ the current of political history. The in which Grant was engaged starte 1870, and caused by his attempt to secure the annexation of the island of San Domingo. This scheme was opposed from the start by some prominent republicans, the leading spirit of whom was Senator Sumner. Grant in this whole movement was actuated by the most patriotlc motives, He was led to be- lieve that the Inhabitants of the island de- sired to come under United States authority and he felt that territory woull be a highly acquisition 0 this country of annexa- tion was negotlated o information fur nished by American residents of that jsland and referred to the senate in 1870 ngly opposed in that body and finally ¢ feated. Then congress agreed to the ap. pointment of tea o go to the island and report regarding the situation and on the question of annexation. The committee, which consisted of Benjamin F. Wade, An- drew D. White and 8. G. Howe, went on its mission, and the report which it madc strongthened Grant’s belief in the desira- bility of annexation. In the meantime, how- stories of jobbery connected with the affair were circulated through the country and the project becanie so unpopular that it abandoned. The fight by this time had ierated into a personal wrangle be- tween nt and Sumner, which led to the removal of Sumner's friend, Motle from his post as minister to England, and to Sumner's own deposition as head of the senate foreign affairs committee. The feud thus started caused a boit in the party,which resulted in the placing of an independent ticket in the field against Grant in 1872 This was the liberal republican movement which put up Greeley for president, who was endorsed by the democracy, but which rried only six states, thirty-one going for nt. Nevertheless the conflict hurt the rty ultimately, for it was one of the of its overwhelming defeat in the sional elections of 1874, when the crats carried the house of representa- for the first time since before the war. contributed its mite to the sum of nfluences which reduced the party's majority in the clectoral college in 1876 to one vote, which kept the house in demo- cratic hands in that election, and which put the democrats in control of the senate two y subsequently, after they had been ex- cluded from power in that branch since 1560. The Garfield-Blaine-Conkling ~ vendetta, which set in in 1881, shortly after Garfield entered the white house, has certain points of resemblance to the one in h Cleveland and Hill are engaged. York was the storm center in the earlier conflict, as it is in the later one, the senators of that state being arrayed against the president in cach William H. Robertson was the disturb- ing element thirteen years ago, as William B." Hornblower and Wheeler H. Peckham were in the present feud, but the post in- volved was not the judiclary then, but that of collector of the port of New York City. Robertson was an anti-Grant and anti-Conk- Jing man, and had been, in 1880, a resolute and_powerful foe of ed by Conkling for a third t . Conk- ling disliked Robertson as ardently as Hill did Peckham, and his nomination to the col- lectorship instantly turned the New York senators, the junior one being Thomas C. Platt, against the administration. Secretary of State Blaine, whose feud with Conkling of long standing at that time, it is sup- posed was responsible for the nomination. Conkling was beaten and Garfleld and Blaine were victorious, for Robertson was con- firmed. It was one of the costliest triumphs, however, ever gaied by Amerlcan states- men, for it brought disaster to victor and vanquished alike. Conkling and Plait, who had stepped down from the senate, were beaten at Albany in their efforts to secure re-election and vindication, and remained out of public life; Garfield was shot by a lunatic whose mild imbecility was transformed into frenzy by the excitement caused by the feud; the party was split in two in New York and demoralized and weakened everywhere else. The republicans were overwhelmingly beaten in the congressional elections in 1882, a year later. Cleveland was chosen governor of New York in that year by such a tremendous majority that his nomination for the pres dency In 1884 became inevitable, and the re- publican party in that year, under the lead of Blaine, met the first defeat in a_presi- dential canvass which it encountered since 1856, first and about Now the ai case, ————— Malaria is one of the most insidious of health destroyers.

Millescamps, the woman reccutly convicted of espionage by the eriminal court of Paris, would furnish abundant material for a sensational ro- mance. Her maiden name was Marie Fore says the New York Sun. She worked at dressmaking and gave lessons in music, Sng was a well educated and havdsome young woman. Iv 1863 she married one Gennot, a rich’ and stupid man, who for many ars remained compietely under her control. Shortly after her marriage she determined to see the world, and turned her husband into a traveler. 'With him she went to Philadelphia and lived there r a_couple of years. Then she came to ew York and remained here for some time, engaged in business. Next she turned up in Buenos Ayres. It became too hot for her there, and she proceeded at once to Berlin, where she led a gay life, and moved for a time in high society. From Berlin she went to live in London, and continued there her style of life. At last her husband got tired of her and thought it was high time for him to go to California or to South America, and keep Nimself beyond the reach of his fast and extravagant better half. This he did, and Mme. Gennot was good enough not to take the thing too much to heart. She reported that he was dead, and in 1880 returned to Parls, where she maried M. Millescamps a well-to-do business man. In a short ti > of bankruptey. But somehow or other she managed to get well off again, Just where her funds came from remained a mystery. On coming down somewhat in funds again she started a store In the Rue de Bretagne, where she sold religlous books, pictures and statuettes. As she was remarkable for her piety, good Christians patronized her, and for ' three years the business flourished. In 1884 M. Millescamps died suddenly, and some of the plous widow's neighbors were left under the impression that she facilitated his departure for a better world, This suspicion, however, did not materialize. After tho death of her hus- baud No. 2 she carrled on the business on her own account. In the evenings she re- colved company. Her little salon was fre- quented by a cosmopolitan group. She was a linguist, a conversationalist and an accom- plished musiclan But, in addition to her religlous establish- ment, she carried on in another quarter of the city a matrimonial bureau and also a table-turning tabernacle, at which she was always the leading spirit. In the art of teaching the tables how to dance and talk with their legs she had no equal in Paris. Wonderful stories are told of her interviews with the departed, and it is sald that many prominent men, Including Lord Lytton (“Owen Meredith"), often consulted her. After & time she abandoned the spirits and devoted herself to the more profitable business of esplonage.

After re viewing the nature of what has ne an epidemic dis in northern latitudes, the doctor shows that it is a microbe disease and asser(s that he has been successful in treat- ing it as such. In conclusion he says “Since the verification of the germ or microbe theory, I have made experimental trinls with many different well known germitoxic remedies in addition to and in combination with asafoetida, in the cure of a grippe. 1 have determined that the best drug for this purpose Is iodoform. I have a pill made of onc-efghth of a grain and four grains of asafoetida Four of these pills are taken every six hours durlng the day to the amount of sixty-four grains of asafoetida with two grains of iodoform added in combination, or sixteen pills during the day of twenty-four hours. he treatment and cure of many cases of la grippe among my very large number of patlents has convinced me of the certainty of this remedy. In treating patients by this remedy I have seen no pneumonia of the kind which s either caused directly by the nilcrobe of this discase or by a sec- ondary microbic Invasion. The remedy cures by its germitoxic action. It subdues the symptoms promptly. The disease vanishes; and if the remedy is taken in time the more serious complications do not appear.

Any person can write the order br presc tion for the remedy, as I have herein given the formula: Iodoform, grain one-eighth; afoetida, grains four, in one pill or cap- ur of these capsules to be taken v six hours during the day and night. I_have no doubt that after the trial of this remedy the demand will be great for it, and pharmacists generally will carry the ula in stock, and no delay or trouble will be experienced by purchasers who call for the remedy. The cure has already been extensively used by sufferers from la grippe throughout the United States and has proven its value as a cure. e sThere s but One. What do you call it?

Thus in spruce stock nine serios of tests, comprising nine sizes of com- mon nails, longest G inches, shortest 1%, the cut nails showed an average superority of 47.51 per cent; in the same wood six series of tosts, comprising six sizes of light common nails, the longest 6 inches and the she st 118, the cut nails showed an average superlority of 47.40 per cent. ome very Interesting tests of locomotives were made in the early part of last Noyem- ber on the Long [sland railroad with two loco- motives made by the same company, and alike in all respects, save that one was simple and the other a four-cylinder Vau clain compound. The engines were of the ten-wheel type, welghing 78,700 pounds each, and were in equally good condition. Each trial consisted of a run of nearly 114 miles daily, and the comparisons between the two locomotives were based on averages of three runs by each. The six trials were rather remarkable in the close agreement between the results for each type of engine, so that the average results do not differ much from the actual figures for any one run. Tho average steam pressure in the boiler of the compound engine was 166.7 pounds, while that in the boiler of the simple engine was but 126 pounds. It should be mentioned, however, that the normal pressure of the compound locomotive % higher than that of the simple engine, and the best eficiency of the latter is obfained with a stéam pre sure of about pounds, consequently both locomotives probably soperated under conditions calculated to produce the most favorable showing. The number of cars each train was twenty. The resnlts show that there was a saving of 7.2 per cent in fuel and 17.2 per cent in water by the com: pound -locomotive, which would produce an annual saving of about $1,800, very much more than any additional cost of repairs due to the use of compound eylinders.
