General News.
Nobody who visited the Centennial Exposi- tion of 1876, will have forgotten the ** butter > iw the Women’s Pavillion, the work of Mrs. Brooks, Tbat lady has been in Wash- ington since last winter, having that same butter head of the Drawing TIolanthe on exhi- bition, and trying in everyway to obtain means which would enable her fo goabroad and study the sculptor’s art—in which she is yet wholly uninstructed. She is also quite poor. She has just completed another work —the same subject, but on a more extensive scale. ‘This is also im butter, and represents the dreaming maid at full length, reclining in a garden. Mrs. Brooks proposes taking this to Paris and
ibiting it there. “Ta i. Stephens’says, the Potter Invest: eation will cost, at least, a million of dollars : but Congress does not make the estimate so large, having only appropriated $20,000 for the purpose. ‘The Senate amendment, however, appropriates the same sum additional for its own use in the matter. Probably Stephens counted Congressional time spent, etc., in which case he could not be far wrong. Min. ister Stoughton has already been summoned from Russia as a witness before the Patter Committee. Mr. Anderson, in_his testimony concerning his interview with Sec’y Sherman, stated that Mr. Staughton was present, but took no partin the conversation, being en- gaged in reading a newspaper, and hearin, nothing that was said. “ he other side,” it scems, think it more than probable that Mr. Stoughton, shrewd old lawyer that he is, al- hough apparently absorbed in his newspaper, did hear what was said (since he was sitting by) and have seat for him accordingly. His testimony can scarcely be without weight in the case. Among other Southerm men, Senator (Jordon expresses his belief that the investiga- tion is a mistake, and ought never to have heen begun ; also, that Mr. Hayes’ title to the Presidency cannot be disturbed, except he be iaaenchod for some crime committed since his inauguration; and that no really new facts will be.brought out by the investigation.

An English paper states that one of the endeavors of Mr. Bennett’s Arctic yacht ‘¢Pandora,” now rechristened the ‘‘Jean- ette,” will be to search, by way of Behring’s Strait, the mysterious Wiangell or Kel- lett’s Land. Deschneff saw it two centuries ago; then Wrangell tried to reach it, and the Siberians told him that on clear days its mountains could be seen from Cape Jakan. It is even said that some natives attempted to reach it, but never returned to tell the tale. Kellett caught glimpses of it in 1849, and in 1867 several American whalers ap- proached within twenty miles of it, but eould not land on account of broken ice.

(CAPSICUM)
The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since tho Commencement of the Christian Era.
There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been caused by outward application as the present, It is an Liar Auaper fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.
Dr. MELVIN’S CaPsiIcUM POROUS PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.
Physiciansin all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medicai agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- ges in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convineed of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. MrLvin’s Capsicum Porovs PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for
R. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER.
You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and se in its action, you can rely on its safety or the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient fporestes of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to oo friends.
k your druggist for Dk. MELVrIn’s CApsI- CUM POROUS PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas,
