tained damage to their property. At

lege building is reported damaged to
the extent of $3,000 or $4,000. From

been more severe east and south than

to constitute a real old-mshioaed

Washington, Dec. 7, 1885.
TKKcity is full of people, and the
leaf, session of the forty-aiath con
gress began to-day at noon. Prob
MfMO congress ever opened more
ejtBMlyQand with less excitement thaa

As-usBal-ei-the bea-innis? of

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

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.

In 1878 I was poisoned by contact
with poison. qak. 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. I cannot say too
much in praise of the S. S. S.
