Fiftecia Russian Jewish families, com prising forty-two persons, were sent back to Europe yesterday, by the Hebrew Aid Society. They wore paupers, and were unable or unwilling to work, or nopport themselves in any way, and were returned under the pauper act. Before being transported to llolioken, where they were to take passage by the Steam er Gelert they were transported in a more pleasant way through the liberal ity of the Society which has had so much unnecessary trouble with them and their fellow-countrymen. Mr. Michael Heil prin handed to each of the returning ref ugees, the sum of 3.00. The greacer part of them seemed pleased at the pros pect of reaching home again. ANOTHER HANGING. James F. Walch, the man who mur dered his sweetheart, Barbara Groenen- that several months ago, was hanged in Brooklyn yesterday. In accordance with his request, the bosom of his only whit shirt had been well starched and ironed, and he went to his death with a full stomach, and a heart at peace with all the world. His spiritual advisers have no doubt that he is now anion; the an gels. The question is often asked, ' would such men ever get to Heaven if they did not help to send others to a different place 1" And another question js asked this morning: ' How many men witl murder in their hearts will recall Vakh'. fate, and stay their hand ?" FANNY PARNELL'S DEATH. The tidings of the death of Muss Fan ny Parnell at Bordentown, N. J., casts a gloom over a great many hearts in New York, to-day. As the sister of Chas. Stewart Parnell, the leader of the Land League, she wis identified with the agitator's movements, and the loss of such a friend, is an added misfortune to the unhappy land of her birth. She was of slender frame, but her heart was strong, and her energy extraordinary. Three years ago, whin about 25 years old, she delivered her first speech in the city, on the subject of the famine in Ire land; and the impressions she made will never be effaced from the hearts of tho.se who heard her. She was a poet of con siderable merit. OUR LATEST FRAUD. The fools are not all dead yet, nor is it probable that the race will le ex timt, until the blessed time when wars shall cease and mortals shall be gifted with the ability to extract sunbeams of cemfort from the cucumbers of calamity. Nor are the frauds all gone. The ouce celebrated physician whose sands of life were so long running out, and who cured his patients with cannabis indica, charg ing nothing for advice, but a great deal fat poison, has long since climbed the golden stair; the discovery of the Car diff Giant has joined the Anakim in an other wprld; the last centenarian purse of the immortal Washington, is crowing lullalhes to thinly clad ang-,1 babies, a way beyond three o'clock in the morning; Ouiteau lias been called away or removed by his Lordy; Eli Perkins, the only liv ing humorist who never said a finpiy thing, that was not- stolen from a dead tYljq has ?PV" deyiafced into truth, has retired into obscurity; the thauma rurolc Ta!naS who could preach with his ancle joints, pray wiih his shoulder blades, and turn a liack sumersault to the glory of God, without scratching his long ears with his No. U hoots, has sub sided, and the world will hear little more of him till his hay fever is cured, and his summer vacation is over, k last, though not least, George Francis Train, the man who was never silent, is now still, Jand under the mysterious psycho logic" influence of self-conceit and pea nuts,lis almost as dumb as an oyster.

It stands in Theatre Alley, a nar row paved lane, that once formed the eastern houndery of the Park Theatre whence its name. The secretary of the Franklin fc Em porium Fire Insurance Company was discharged ly the President, on Wednes day, but refused to abd'eate, and was ar rested and taken to the Tombs. To the Police Justice the President of the Com nany remarked that his relations with the Secretary were always p'easant, yet lie thought that; they would be pleasant- er if that gentleman's sphere of useful ness were changed. The Secretary will take his exse to the Civil Courts, vhich will probably decide that he has been treated very uncivilly indeed. Benjamin A; Gicque, a brave fire man, ana Chief of the Fifth Battalion of the Fire Department, was seriously injured at a fire, yesterday by falling from the third story of the building, to the pavement balow. CM f Gicquel is one of the men who have earned the Bennett Medal by their bravery. Another of the gallant winners of the medal there are fifteen in all is Fire man Michael Comerford, to whom this splendid badge was presented yesterday, in presence of thousands of admiring and applauding, citizens. The:presenta- tion was made by Chirles A. Dana. An Irish lady died hrre a day or two ago, whose age. Was 102 years. She was one of the few in this world, who could thus announce j an interesting addition to tho numWr of her defendants: 44 Daughter, go to thy daughter, and tell her that her daugh ter's daughter hath a daughter," Our Washington Letter. From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, D. C, July 29, 1882. When the weather got right warm this suiunier the. Sergpat-at-Arms pf the Senate made arrangements by which Senators and the employes of the Sen ate were supplied with Apqllinaris and uetnesna mineral water, jnese spark ling beverages ; were kept in the cloak rooms, and two; venerable descendants of Ham were detailed to do the honors. Plain le uonicle and lemonade with a 1 . stick iu it wasj dispensed in lavish pro fusion. Mf,miers of the House found it out, and flocked over to the Senate re tiring rooms in such numbers and with such frequency that Senators could scarcely get a feast?. The resuit was an order to stop tho lemonade supply had to bo issued. Senators complain very much at whit they call the cheek of the House members. It is a common cus tom, and has been for a long 'time, for certain members of the Houst to pass bv the restaurant on their side, come over to the Senate restaurant, and mo nopolize the accommodations especially reserved for the Senators A short time since a House mendier from a back woods district, with some of his constituents, was enjoying corn-beef sandwiches and pork and beans in one of the rooms set aside for Senators. An aristocratic Sena tor, known as 44 boss" at home, came iuto the room with some of his sweU friends, his mind intent on woodcock and cham pagne. All of the tables were occupied. Glancing with an expression of disgust at the pork and beans, he expressed his indignation in audible terms at the pres ence of the intruders. But the back wpods memler, not at all abashed, liehl his place, and asserted with emphasis that tho Representatives of the people had as much right in that room as Sen ators. It is said that there is a probability of criminal, as well as civil, proceedings arising out of the alleged libels circula ted iu the so-called Grand Army Jour nab paper which was started for the express purpose, against Senator Ferry, of Michigan. It is charged that the whole thing was in the interest of Jay Hubbell's candidacy for United States Senator to succeed Mr. Ferry, and that Mr. Ferry was now in possession of facts to show a conspiracy to injure him by the circulation of a pafer tilled with liliels a gainst him. The Postoffie Department has refused to permit any more of the 44 Ferry" edition of the Journal go through the mails. The menager, or mo gul, of the Grand Army Journa7, A. T. Bissell, is the notorious individual who, under the nom de plume of 44 X," treated the readers of the comatose Gazette to the Sherman treasury literature. It i said that ten thousand copies of this black mailing sheet containing no less than seven longolumns, devoted to a personal and brutal attack upon the Senator were sent broad cast over the State of Miehi gan, with the hope or lifting Jay HuMiell into the Senatorial shoes. The feeling about the matter is intenfco iu the city and it is hoped by every one here that Mr. Hubbell has by this tinre dug his own grave. The general belief in the Senate is that the tax reduction bill is dead for the season, though Senator Morrill his said that he intends to move to take it up ag iin as soonis the naval appropri ation Kill is out of the way. The pre vailing belief, however, is that if he makes such a motion he will fail, as the sundry civil bill next claim the atten tion of the Senate. The republican Sen ators understand that the House would not pass the bill as amended, and this fact acts as a damper upon its prospects. The talk now is that Congress will ad journ perhaps by the last of next week. The indications in the Senate to-day are that the motion to recommit the naval appropriation IhII, wkh instructions to strike out all legislation relating to reor ganization, will prevail, and if it does that will undoubtedly delay the adjourn ment of Congress. The House is evi dently stubliorn in its adherence to this legislation in the naval bid, and if will not yield without a sharp struggle. Should the Senate recommit the bill that will bring about another conflict with the House in addition to the two now existing. There is the matter with the Senators mileage in the deficiency bill, and also that of the transfer of surgeon general's records in the legislative bill, over which the two houses are now at Io""erhead i. To make a contest oer the naval lill may intensify the feeling between the two houses and keep Con gress there for several weeks vet. A lively interest is created in the De partments upon the subject of the polit ical assessments. While not objecting to the rule, ( which may be regarded as an established one,) great dopt prevails as tq the propriety of calling tor the two per cent, rate from clerks who incur the additional outlay qf CQcqrfing thtiic vote in the yariqus States, at a cost in many nstances, considerably larger than the a sscsWent itself. As a matter of jus tice, these active workers should m ei ther remitted the assessments or the 4 drones" should be subjected tq an ad litional call to reinburse the double ;axed voter for the substantial benefit udirectly rendered, them. august.

(Boston Globs.) The readera of this paper were more or less amazed at a most remarkable statement from one of "our leading citi zens which appeared in yesterday's issue. So unusual were the circumstances con nect rd with it, and so much comment did it occasion on the street and in ho cial 'circles, that a representative of this paper was commissioned to investigate its detiils and verify its facts. The ar ticle referred to was statement made by Mr. B. F. Larrabee, of thfe New York and Boston Dispatch Express compvnv, whose office is on Arch street. Mr. Lar rabee was found by the newspaper man iu his private office, and on being ques tioned said: 14 Well, sir, logically I have been dead, but reallv I aln as vou can see me. A little over a vear ago I was taken sick. My trouble was not severe at first and 1 thought It was the result of a slight sold. So nehow I felt unaccountably tired at times although I took an abun dance of sleep. Then, again, I had dull and strange pains iu various parts of the body. My appetite was good one day and I had none whatever next and my head pained me more or lets much of the time. A while afterward 1 no ticed much that was peculiar about the fluids I was passing and that a sediment, scum, and a strange accumulation up peared in it. Still I did not vealize that thesv things meant anything serious and 1 allowed the illness t run alcig unti on the 28th day of October I fell pros trate while walking along J remont street. I was carried home and did not o out of the house until the middle of December. I then went down town and attempted to attend to mv business un til tin 13th of lash January, when I was taken with a very severe relapse. My symptoms were terrible. I was fearfully bloated ; I suffered severe puns in ali parts of my lwxly and i was almost im- nossib'e to cret mv br-ath". ' For six davs i . I never laid down and never slept. J was constantly attended by my regular nhysieian. Dr. Johnson, and Dr. iiow ditch also came to see me nearly every dav. There was 110 donbt that I Was suffering from Bright'n disease of the kidneys in its worst form and last stages accompanied by other troubles in my liver and heart. In spite, however, of the skill of the physicians, I kept grow ing worse and finally they tapped my s;de in the vicinity of the heart, taking away forty-six ounces of water. Thi relieved me for the time, but I soon be came as bad as before. Then the doctor gave me up entirely, declared I could not live more than twenty-four hour and my daughter, who was rending in Paris, was telegraphed for.. Still I ling ered along for several weeks, far more dead than alive, but never giving up hope. One night it was on the 20th of April, I very well rememlier my at tendant, who was reading the paper to me, began an article which descrilied my disease and sulferings exactly. Jt told how some severe cases of Bright' disease had been cured, and so clearly and sensibly did it stats the case that I determined to try the means of cure which it described. So 1 sent my man to the drug store, procured a bottle of the medicine, unknown to my physicians and friends, and took the tirt dose at 10 o'clock. At that time I was suffer ing intensely. I could not sleep: I had short breaths and could scarcely get any air into my lungs I was terribly bloated from head to foot, and the motion of my heart was irregular and painful. The next morning I was able to breathe free ly; the pain began to leave nie and the bloating decreased. I continued to take the medicine, and to-day, sir, I am as well as I ever was in my life, and wholly owing to thj wonderful, al nosr miraculous power of Warners Sife Kid ney and Liver Cure. I do not know what this madicine is made of, or any thing else about it, but I know it saved my life when I wis given up by the doc tors and laf really been d,ead for we.eks; tliat it has kpt mo in perfect lualth ever since aud has cured many of, my friend, tq whim I have recommended it. There aje a number of very remarkable cases 111 Lvnn ad Salem, as well as in this city, that it lias cured. My recov ery is so remarkable that it has excited much attention, and physicians as well as others have, investigated it thorough ly I am glad ih y have, fpr X f f 1 tlnU the results of s .ch a wonderful cure should be known to the thousands in all parts of the land who are. suffering from troubles of the kidneys, liye'r or. heart, in some of their many dangerous forms." " The representative of the press thanked M . L r abee for his very frank and clear statement, and was about to leave tin office when a gen tlemeu stepped up to huu and inquired if he were sesk ing information about Mr. Laira'ee'8 sickness ami reeoyery. The scribe- re plied that he was, whereupon the gentle men said: 44 Aud so am I, and I have come all tho way from Chicago for that verv pur pose. 'Kidney troubles seem to be alarm ingly increasing all over the country, and I have been to see the physicians of whom Mr. Larrabee speaks, aud i tell you, sir, it is simply wonderful." 14 What did they say V asked the man of news. 44'Say ! why, sir. they fully confirm everything Mr. Larrabee has stated. I went to see Dr. D. A. Johnson, at 20 , Worcester street He was absent when I called, and so I stepped into the Com mon wealth hotel, where Mr. Larrabee was living at the time of his sickness. Messrs. Brugh & Carter are the propri etors, and I asked them ataut Mr. Lar ralee's case. Mr. Brugh pointed to the electric anunnicator and said, why for weeks and weeks every time the bell rang I said: That means tl death of Mr Larrabee. No one. around the ho tel ever dreamed that he would recover and wheu the doctors would come down from Lis room they would shake theii heads and say there was no hope. The arrangements for the funeral were made and his recovery was simply a miracle.' ' I then called on Dr. Johnson who said that Mr. Larrabee's case was a very re markable one. He was his family phy sician and expected his death every hour tor a numiier of weeks and never called to see him during that time, but he was prepared for it The doctor said the re co very was due to Warner's Safe Kid ney and Liver Cure, and if he had friends male or female, troubled with Albumen or any kidney troubles he should certain ly advise them to use this remedy. Dr. Johnson said kidney difficulties are more common than most people 'hink and that 111 my symptoms which are supposed to be other diseases arise from the kid neys. He said that ladies after gesta tion are specially subject to albuminous troubles which requ.re prompt attention. Well, 1 then ca ne down and called on Dr H. Ingersoll Bowditeh on Boyl- ston street. The old doctor was inclined to lie reticent but fully confi rmed all I had previously learned. He ha 1 attend ed Mr. Larrabee, and supposed him be yond all hope, and lie was afterwards restored, as he said, by Warner Safe Ivi I ney and L:ver Cure. I next went to see Dr. Melville E. Webb, at the Hotel Cluny, for you see I was determined to be thorough iu this natter. I found Dr. Webb a most clear h 'aded and well informed gentlemen, md he said: ' I know of Mr. Larrabee's ease from having thor lUghly investigated it as medical director of Life Insurance com pany, and it is one of the most remark ab!e I have ever met. Mr. Larrabee h d all the manifestations of a compli Cition of diseases, and iu their wors i-orms. He had ojiiumen and casts in die urine, and a terribly diseased liver a id spleen. Indeed, he was so bad that :ie threw himself upon the floor, and with his head upon a hassock, struggled for breath. It was on the night when 'ie was so bad and when all his medical alvisers had long given him up that h legan useing Warner's Sife Kidney and Liver Cure. The next morning at 10 'cIojk he was able to breathe freely, md ha-5 been ever s:nce. I . subjected hi 11 to the most thorough examinat'o. possible, after his recovery, and 4 I can't find out about him.' His kidneys, liver unsand heart are perfectly well and sound. I can only add that, from what I have seen. I would unhesitatingly rec immend thi remedy." The conclusions from the statements a'ove made which" come to the newspa per man as well as the general public, must lie two fold. First that a modern niracle of healing has been performed in our midst, and that, too, by the sim plest means and one which is within the reach of every one. It should be re membered that Bright's disease is not usually a sudden complaiut Its liegin uings are slight and its growth slow. The symptoms by which it may be de tected are different with different per sons, no two people usually having the same. I Ins fact was manifest 111 the ase of Mr. Larrabee, and he had no idea of the terrible complaint which had at tacked him until it liecame fixed upon him. Stjondly, testimonials of such high character and so out-spoken in tone conclusively prove the value of the rem edy and its superior nature to the pro prietary articles with winch the public h ive been flcKded. 44 The greater in cludes the less," and the remedy which has been proven so valuable and has saved a life after it was brought down to death's door, must unquestionably lie certain in all minqr troubles which are as disastrous unless taken mi Muie.
