Fifth Artillery had arrived at Salt Lake, and five com panies from Fort Douglas, waiting for them at the depot, escorted them to the camp, three miles oat A blindiag snowstorm prevailed all day, bat the military display attracted great crowds, which stood sullenly by without a sign. As the band reached the corner of Temple block it struck up a lively air, which continued till past that aad Tithing block. Gen. McCook was at the bead of the column With his staff.

None of the officers know why the order was issued nor to what point it Is propos ed to send them. The opinion pre vails however, that the threatening attitude of the Mormons at Salt Lake has caused its promulgation and that serious trouble is really apprehended there. It seems from all accounts, that the storm of the 4th, which prevailed all over the central and eastern part of Nebraska, was the most severe of any that has visited this part of the state for tea years. In the course of this storm many individuals have sus tained damage to their property. At Central City the new Methodist col lege building is reported damaged to the extent of $3,000 or $4,000. From reports of the storm it mast have been more severe east and south than it was in this vicinity. This wind storm lacked nothing but the saow to constitute a real old-mshioaed Nebraska blizzard. In a Republican caucus held by senators it was understood that it bad been decided to consider and treat each nomination sent la by the Pres ideat for confirmation on its own merits.

Twenty youasr mea ia a towa have formed a club with the ex pectation af redaciag their liviag ex penses to two dollars a week for each member. This is a sensible applica tion of taa advantages af co-aaeratiea and whether they are quite saceeeefnl or not, they will no doubt gain much useful experience in habits of self-denial and economy. Such a clab is more creditable and more profitable thaa most of the clubs which young mea with limited resouraaa think it incumbent on them to join. Clab for the cultivation 'of economy ought to become fasbioaable. Em.

Washington, Dec. 7, 1885. TKKcity is full of people, and the leaf, session of the forty-aiath con gress began to-day at noon.

Mr. Lindsay. This place was given to Mr. Milburn, the aliad preacher of Chicago. Rep. rosea tativc Reed, of Maine, was hon ored with the complimentary vote of the Republicans for speaker. This makes Mr. Reed virtually the leader of the minority. He is considered the ablest -man ia the House on a quick retort. He Is very strong also ia attacking and answering the op posite party in debate. And indeed most of the debating ability in the Hoase is on the Republican side. The Senate, which is always quiet and orderly, was unusually so to-day. It met, organised by electing Sen ator Shermaa president pro tern, to succeed Mr. Hendricks, and adjourned tbroagh respect to the memory of the late VicePresideat, whose chair was covered with black. The President's message Is ready for congress whenever congress is ready to hear it, which will probably be to-morrow. Although great cau tion has kept the message from pre mature publication, its contents are pretty well known. It will be use less for me to give you its points, however, as you Viil probably read it in full by the time this reaches yoa. The forty-ninth is the first Dem ocratic congress to meet under a Democratic administration since the days of ex-Presideat Buchanan. The country will be watohfal to see how much the party has learned since treasoB shouted in tho capitoi and plotted In the cabinet. Twenty-sir years have passed away, thirteen congresses have come aad twelve have gone since, on the first Monday in December, 1859, James Buchanaa, the last Democratic predeceeeor of President Cleveland, sent his annual message to congress. Some of the senators aad represen tatives who assembled at the capitoi to-day were there oa the first Mon day in December, 1859. If they will cast their eyee over this beautiful city, recalling what it was then and noting what it is now, they will have a guage by which tV measure the change wrought in the nation during those twenty-six years. Every measure of public policy which has contributed to the magni ficent advancement of the country in all these years has been a Republican measure, and has been carried against the united and unrelenting opposi tion of the Democracy. There is much preparation for the finauclal battle to be fought this win ter. Hon. Manton Marble is still cor responding with members of Congress aad endeavoring in every way to put before them facts and figures, upon which arguments on the silver ques tion binge. It is claimed that the basis of financial Iegislatioa will bo The Hoar succession bill, or some thing closely resembling it, is likely to be brought forward early, and there are no indications that the Re publicans will offer any opposition to it. During the last session the Senate secured the adoption of the plan to make cabinet officers the successors of the President and Vice-President in case of the death, removal, or disabil ity of both. The bill failed in the House by the obstructive manage mentof a Democrat from Connecticut Mr. Eaton. But the first subject brought to the 1 attention of the House will probf.bly revision of the rules. Every member wants them changed, there is no question about that The trouble Is In finding enough members who want the same change. Each mem ber sees how a certaia change would promote the passage of his little bill, aad he will vote for that In the multitude of schemes, the outcome is uncertain. He Itotea.

I put myself under the trealmeut of a homeopathic physician in Mobile, who treated me three months with varying success, but uu cure. I then went under treHsmout of one of the prominent allopntbic physicians for months with no better results Then I went to New York and secured the services of one of the most distinguished pbyhiciaus there, who prescribed for me for weeks and failed to give reiief. I then went to Philadelphia and went under the care of the cel ebrated Dr. Agnew for many weeks, and derived no appreciable benefit. Disheartened, I returned home and suffered on for some years. I went first to Healing Springs, Ala., then to Hot Springs, Ark., and then to Blount Springs, Ala., from all of which I received some benefit, but no permanent relief could be secured. Iu 1882 I again put myself under the care of one of the best physicians, aud alternated between comparative rolief and sufferings that seemed beyond my power to bear. It seemed no matter what I did, as if it were impossible to rid myself of the poison. In 1884, in October, when in desper ation, but having very little faith in it, I commenced using Swift's Speci fic. After I had taken a number of bottles, I felt that my digestion aad general health was improved, but so far as I could tell the poison was still in mf system. After I had finished the second dozen bottles I began to see a change for the better. Nearly every sign of my dread affliction had disappeared, my skin was clear and in its normal condition, and again I believed that I was forever free from tnis tern Die amiction. l nave now completed my forty-eighth bottle, and feel free again, with no sign of any eruption but n few pimples, which I believe to be the last faint signs of the result of my terrible blood poisoning.
