To tiraml Army 1'osts. C E. Adams, department command er, has issued the following to Grand Army posts in the form of general or der No. 11: "The department commander desires to thank the retiring oilicers for the at tention and general efficiency displayed in the department work during this year. The reports which are rapidly coming in show an excellent condition of the department, such in fact as could only be brought about by the united ef forts of officers and members. 'And to the newly initiated officers, I congratulate you upon the high de gree of confidence placed in you by your comrades. Your duty tu them is one that should be faithfully and care fully performed. Not only the welfare and stability of our order, but the pa triotism of the country depends upon an intelligent performance of your duties. And as an important item in the line of your duties I urge you to take immediate steps to reinstate all worthy n. embers suspended for the non-payment of dues. The national encampment wisely provided liberal regulations for such relief, and posts should at once move to carry out the true spirit of these regulations, and bring back without delay all comrades who, from inability to meet their obli gations, have been dropped from the rolls. We are passing through a very critical period in our history, and those who are strong and vigorous should be nntiring in their zeal to strengthen the weaker lines, and thereby make it possible for the appeals in behalf of our deserving comrades to reach the heart of this great nation and com mand its respect and acquiescence in all reasonable demands.

British Government Accepts Arbitration to Settle Bering: Sea Awards. I Washington, Jan. 27. Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British ambassador, called on Secretary Olney to-day to submit the final acceptance by the British government of the plan of a Bering sea commission to pass upon the claims of Canadian sealers seized prior to the Paris award. It remains only for the president to submit the plan to Congress, and as the legislative branch has refused to pay a lump sum for the seizures, it is considered cer tain that the commission arrangement will be approved. It is likely that the president, in submitting the plan to Congress, will suggest once more the desirability of a single payment as the most expeditious means of settle ment, for the commission 0' arbitra tion, if agreed to, will bind the United States to the payment of any sum which the commission may award. The commission i to be composed of one American commissioner, one British commissioner and an umpire to be chosen by the two. The per sonnel of the commission has not been suggested, but there is a belief that the president of Switzerland will be asked to act as umpire, or some one designated by the Swiss president, if the sessions of the commission neces sitate the presence of the umpire this country. in STATEHOOD AND SILVER. Advocittes of Sound Money May Defeat Arizona's Admission. New York, Jan. 27. Nathan O. Murphy, territorial delegate from and ex-governor of Arizona, said to day: "The people of Arizona are a unit for self government. Six weeks ago there was practically no opposi tion to admitting Arizona. It was generally conceded that the remain ing territories should be admitted and the responsibility and the expenses of their government transferred to their own people. But lately consider able irritation has developed on account of the monetary dispute, and motives un-American, sectional and selfish have caused several represen tatives to announce their opposition to the admission of any more Western States whose Senators, they think, would disagree with the East on the money question. The merits involved are temporarily obscured on this ac count. I have, however, too much confidence in the ultimate justice and love of fair play of the American peo ple to think that an entirely extrane ous issue will be .allowed to prevent justice being done to a loyal and pa triotic sub-division of this country."

She was so thin tiiat she whs fairly ski: and bon:-s, her digestion v.;s out of order and she had the most awful head aches. We gave up all hope of her re covery. Her long, thin, listless face made me nearly half crazy, and we did every thing in our power to give h-r strength and induce her to take an in terest in anything. "One day a friend told me about th Pink Pills, and Mr. Ilartness went down town and get three boxes She had taken about one box, when, to my amazement, one morning 1 beard her ? 'laying on the piano. I could hardly be neve it, for it had been over a year t-ince the piano had been opened.
