THE BROKEN-HEARTED* 1 mw that the light of her beauty had faded; The eye that illumed It gaaed wildly and drear: The treemK, neglected, hung loose and unbraided, And shrouded * cheek dewed with memory’s hear. Yet she breathed not the name ot her cruel deceiver; The enlace of friendship ’twas vain to impart. Khe had loved with the warmth of a guileless believer; But man had been faithless and broken her heart, The dweUng is low where she withered in sadness, The bower is deserted, her harp is unstrung; Tlie roses she twined, the light notes of gladness, No longer shall blossom, no more shall be sung. T ho dove hath a refuge, a house of protection, When rent is the storm-cloud, and vivid Ito dart; Bilt desoiate wanders the inaid of affection When truth has been slighted and broken her heart. Fhe has gone, and her relics the willow weeps over; In the gravo’s quiet slumber are hushed her deep woes; She hears not the sigh of a recreant lover, No promises blighted disturb her repose. Her spirit, too pure for the bonds that enchained it, Now hallowed in realms whence it ne'er shall depart, Looks radiantly down on the wretch who disdained it; On him who haa rifled and broken a heart.

RETRIBUTION.

He wits a pretty little fellow of perhaps 5 years, and he looked through the window of the restaurant with hungry, longing eyes at the big cakes and rows of tempting pies; at last flattening his little nose against the glass as if to be nearer the beautiful viands was more satisfying. There was something in his appearance which was so different from the ordinary little street boy that I first stopped and looked, then addressed him with : “ Are you hungry, little boy?” He then turned quickly, gave a little nod, and said laconically : “ Awful 1” “ Well, suppose we go in there and get something to eat ?” The child’s face brightened ; then he hesitated and said, dubiously ; “Maybe mamma wouldn’t like me to.’’ “Where is your mamma? How came you hero alone ?” “She’s home, sick. I’ve runned awayand ho looked n p in my face witli Ing, brown eyes in which there was a sparkle of mischief. “Run away, have you? lam afraid that is very naughty; won’t your mamma bo anxious ?” “Oh, she’s sick, she’s awful sick! And I ain’t had anything to eat to-day.” “ Have you any brothersand sisters?” The little face sobered at once as he said : “ No, only Eloise, and she’s gone away, and papa’s gone aw r ay, and mamma says maybe she’s going away, and she don’t know what'll come of me." “ Who is Eloise? Your sister?” “ Yes’m.” ‘ ‘ Where has she gone ? Won’t she come back ? ” . .. _.. “No, she ain’t never coming back; they put her in a little black box and took her to heaven, and mamma cried; she said she wouldn’t never come back again, and I haven’t anybody to play with now.” “Eloise!” The name had struck a chord in my heart which awakened painful memories, and while the little fellow was talking my mind had strayed back to years ago, and a vision of a *J>eautiful false friend rose before my eyes. Suddenly I asked the child his name. “ Edwin Alexander Anderson.” For an instant I felt faint and sick, happy wife and mother though I now am. That name brought back to me a time of wretchedness never to be forgotten, and I almost felt like turning away and leaving the child— his child—to his fate. But, thank Heaven ! the impulse was only for a moment; I knew now why those brown eyes thrilled me so; but with the impulse to turn away came a whisper from my good angel : “Do good to those who despitefully use you.” And, seeing the little, fellow still looked longingly at the cakes, I took him in, gave him some buns and a glass of milk, and a bag of cookies to take home; but he could not go alone probably, if, as ho said, he had run away; so I asked him where ho lived, and if he knew the way home. “ We lives now in No. 10 Pine street, but I dunno whore ’tis.” I was not at all sure of the locality myself, so hailing an omnibus I requested to bp carried to my destination; and then the awkwardness of meeting his father flashed across me, till I recollected ho had said “Papa’s gone away.” “ Where has your papa gone?” “ He’s gone to the dogs.” I'ho answer was certainly startling, and notwithstanding, or perhaps in consequence of my nervousness, I smiled, and felt in m.y throat a mingled inclination to laugh and cry.* Then I said seriously ; “ What do yon mean ? Who told you that?” “ Oh, I heard a man tell the doctor so when he came to see Efbise, and I found it in the big map-book mamma let me have to ’muse me.” “Found what?” * “Isle of Dogs ; that’s where he’s gone. I guess he ain’t coming back.” A little pause, then in a low, frightened tone, “he’s awful cross ; he made mamma cry, he did.” I felt guilty of learning family secrets, so I turned away from that subject and sa : d : “ Is your mother very ill ?” “ Oh, she’s dread ul sick ! She coughs and coughs, and spits up lots of red spits ; it’s awfulj ” Poor Eloise, the brilliant beauty, was indeed dying ! I looked down at the little boy in his shabby clothes, and I remembered the elegance of his mother’s attire when we were girls together ; I remembered, oh, so well! But I was awakened from my painful revery by my little c impaniou’s exclaiming: “ Here we. are ! ” I paid the driver, and we got out and mounted three flights of stairs in a shabby lodging house. He opened a door, and there, lying on a stretcher, with a hard mattress, was the wreck of the brilliant beauty I had not seen for ten years, and who, but for the child, I should never have recognized. Not so with her, however ; as the door opened and her child entered she held out her hand, saying in a low, breathless voice : “ Eddy dear, where have you been ? ” Then she raised her eyes, and, seeing me standing in the doorway, she turned deathly pale, and, throwing up her hands, said, wildly: “Oh, God, she has come, she has come ! Alice, Alice, forgive me ! lam dying now 1 ” Forgive her? Yes, with the grim shadow of death hanging over her I could not do otherwise. I went to the bedside and took her hand. “I am glad to have found you, Eloise ; all is forgiven.” I could say no more ; the poor, thin face, feverish eyes and shrunken form made my heart ach». She raised herself up, and, clutching my hand, said : “ Listen, Alice, lam dying. I must speak now; my punishment is from Heaven ; he has left m \ You are revenged, and my little girl has gone, and he ’’-—pointing to the boy—“ the image of his father, will soon be alone, all alone ! My father and mother and sister are all dead, and his father—l do not know if he is living or dead, but he should not have my innocent boy to ruin. Oh, Alice, you look the same as ever; will you take care of my boy ? ” For an instant I recoiled; I take Edwin Anderson’s child to my house to live with my children ? It seemed impossible ; but those large, wistful eyes were fixed on me ; I must answer. “I will find a home for him, Eloise.” “You will not take him yourself, Alice?" And she herself up, sis

excitement lent strength to her voice. “ Alice, I heard of your marriage to a good man. Have you children “ I have a little girl 3 yean old and a baby.” “ Then for God’s sake take my boy and make him good; let him be your child, and, when he gets old enough to understand, give him that desk,” pointing to one on a table at her side. “ I have written out my history as a warning to him, and all my papers of any value are there; I have nothing left of my father’s property ; he has sold it all and squandered the money. I believe he went to Europe and is living somewhere in Italy with another of his dupes ; my boy is portionless. Will you, oh, Alice, will you forgive ail and take him?” “ I will.” I could say no more, and, the excitement being over, she fell back exhausted. I summoned assistance from one of the other rooms, and begged them to go lor the nearest physician ; but it was too late ; he came but to say that she was going fast, and ere night she died with her head on my shoulder. I had sent a note to my husband explaining my absence, and he was there with a carriage to take home myself and our new child. He knew all. I had told aim the sore secret of my heart before I married him. As Eloise had said, he was a good man, and when I told him her wish about her boy he said quietly: “ The child is ours now.” There was a quiet funeral, and Eloise Anderson was laid beside her lost little girl. And this is the story of our two lives. Years before, Eloise Grayson and I, Alice Browne, were together at Madame G. ’« boarding-school for young ladies. Her father was called wealthy, and she and a sister several years her senior were all that were left of a large family. Eloise was very beautiful, and, when at school she had admirers who would meet us and bow in our daily walks. After we left school I made her a visit of a few days and invited her to come and see me in our quiet country home when she liked. She had, however, too gay a life and too many admirers to care to accept my invitation then. Meanwhile I settled down at home and helped my mother ’sew and learned to keep house, and also learned something else —to love with all my heart a handsome, dashing young man who had come to our quiet village to stay for a few days, but had lengthened out those days into weeks. Edwin Anderson almost lived at my father’s house, and, at last, with iny father’s full consent, we were engaged. Of course in the fullness of my joy I wrote to all my friends, and Eloise among the others. Not long after, she wrote to say she was coming to make me that long-promised visit. Well, she came, and at her very first meeting with Edwin she completely monopolized his attention; she came to my room that night and declared herself charmed with him —“a perfect Adonis.” She envied me, called me a sly puss for catching such a handsome man in that out-of-the-way place; then kissed me good-night and left me with a strange chill at my heart. Ido not know how it was, but she was always with us ; we never seemed to be alone, and she engrossed him completely; sometimes she would and say so carelessly: “ Oh, Ally, you must not mind; but your Edwin’s voice just chords splendidly with mine; you will lend him to me, won’t you? ” So they sang together and I listened. I, too, could sing, but my voice was nothing to hers. She was very fond of riding, and we had but one lady’s horse and she had forgotten to bring her habit: so nearly every morning she would borrow mine, and the two would go off for a ride and not return until din-ner-time.. My father began to look coldly at her, and my mother often sighed as she saw them together. I was too proud to show what I felt, but I locked my door at night now; I could not bear to hear Eloise rhapsodize about my lover, whom I never saw now except in her society. She stopped for six weeks—six weary weeks to me. Then one day, after a longer ride than usual with Edwin, she announced that she must go home at once. Her talk and manner were flighty all day, and until late at nighrwe heard her moving about her room packing her trunk—such elegant clothes as she had, putting my quiet muslins and cambrics in the shade. Next morning she bade us good-by - and went away, father remarking after she had gone: “ Well, Idon’t want to be inhospitable, but I hope that girl won’t come here again very soon.” All day I waited and watched for Edwin. Now, I thought, I will have him to myself once more; but he did not come. The next day passed, and still he did not come. On the third day of weary waiting I took up the newspaper after my father had got through with it and looked carelessly and absently at the advertisements, the local items, and when my eye wandered to the marriage list. There I saw the marriage of Alexander Anderson to Eloise Greyson. I did not faint nor scream. I only felt numb for a while, then I quietly handed the paper to my mother, pointing to that place, and as quietly left the room and went up-stairs to my own chamber, where I sat by the window, looking out on the moonlit garden, and tried to understand. My mother soon followed me, and then passed the most miserable hours of my existence ; my first love and faith and joy all shattered. Of course I felt as if I must die ; but I was proud ; I would not be pitied by the neighbors ; and so I threw off the awful pain when I was with others. Youth is very buoyant ; I had good health, a good home and good parents ; and soon two bright, teasing cousins were invited to make us a visit; so in time I crushed this love, which was sin now, from my young heart. Five years afterward I met and learned to love with a quieter, deeper affection, born of respect, my good husband, Henry Halford, an elderly lawyer, who came to see my father about a lawsuit, and having come once came again and again, until at last he came to carry me to a beautiful house in the city as its mistress and his honored wife. We have two dear little children, and I am very happy, and very proud of my “ elderly ” husband. We call our new son Alexander Halford, dropping the old name forever; and I pray that he may be as good and honorable a man as his adopted father is.

The French Burial Law.

Under the new French burial Jaw the right of a Frenchman or Frenchwoman to choose his or her funeral rites begins with their 16th year. Until they attain that age they are to be buried with the ceremonial of the church in which they were baptized, unless with the consent of their parents they have been converted to another faith. The same general rule holds good in after life in every case when they die without a written declaration of their wishes, which must be deposited at the mairie within twelve hours of decease. In case of physical inability to sicn such a document, a declaration to thafr effect bearing the signatures of two witnesses will be accepted, but the witnesses must neither be doctors, midwives, n'lrses, ministers of religion nor members of religious orders. Strict provision is made to prevent any disrespect being shown to civil funerals by the local authorities, and all ■who oppose the execution of the wishes o r the, deceased are liable to be'proceeded against under the penal code. The new law, which consists of twelve articles, is an interesting specimen of Freni h legis ation, securi ig to our neighbors across the chapel that ftbeolute liberty of coo-

science in matters of sepulture which even the present H* use of Commons lias not yet seen fit to concede.— Pall Mall Gazette.

A REMARKABLE STATEMENT.

The tlnuettal fixperienfce of h Prominent Man Matte Public* The following article from the Democrat and Chronicle, of Rochester) N. Y.j is Of so striking a nature, and emanates from so reliable a source, that it is herewith republished entire. In addition to the valuable matter it contains) it will be found exceedingly interesting : To the Editor of the Democrat and Chronicle: Sib : My motives for the publication of the most unusual statements which follow are, first, gratitude for the fact that I have been sated from a most horrible death, and, secondly, a desire to warn all who read this statement against some of the most deceptive influences by which they have ever been surrounded. It is a fact that to-day thousands of people are within a foot of the grave and they do not know IL To tell how I was caught away from just this position and to warn others against nearing it, are my objects in this communication. On the first day of June, 1881, I lay at my residence in this city, surrounded by my friends and writing for death. Heaven only knows tbe agony 1 then endured, for words can never describe it. And yet if, a few years previous, any one had told me that I was to be brought so low, and by so terrible a disease, I should hava scoffottlM the idea. I had always been uncommonly strong and healthy, ‘had weighed over 200 pounds, and hardly knew, in my own experience, what pain or sickness were. Very many people who will read this statement realize at times that they are unusually tired, and cannot account for it. They feel dull and indefinite pains in various parts of the body, and do not understand it. Or they are exceedingly hungry one day, and entirely without appetite the next This was just the way 1 felt when the relentless malady which had fastened itself upon me first began. Still I thought it was -nothing ; that probably I bad taken a cold which would soon pass away. Shortly after this I noticed a dull, and at times neuralgic, pain in my head, but as it would omc one day and be gone the next, I paid but lidle attention to it. However, my stomach was out of order, and my food often failed to digest, earning, at times," great inconvenience. Yet I had no idea, even as a physician, that these things meant anything serious or that a monstrous disease was becoming fixed upon mo. Candidly, I thought I was suffering from malaria, and so doctored myself accordingly. But I got no better. I next noticed a peculiar color and odor from the fluids I was passing—also that there were large quantities one day and very little the next, and that a persistent froth and scum appeared upon the surface and a sediment settled at the bottom. And yet I did not realize my danger, for, indeed, seeing these symptoms continually, I finally became accustomed to them, and my suspicion was wholly disarmed by the fact that I had no pain in the afflicted organs or in their vicinity. Why I should have been so blind I cannot understand. There is a terrible future for all physical neglect, and impending danger usually brings a person to his senses even though it may then bo too late. I realized, at last, my critical condition and aroused myself to overcome it. And, Oh !howha rd 1 tried! I consulted the bestmiedical skill in the land. I visited all the prominent mineral springs in America and traveled from Mair eto California. Still I grew worse. No two physicians agreed as to my malady. Ono raid 1 was troubled with spinal irritation ; another, nervous prostration ; another, malaria ; another, dyspepsia ; another, heart disease; another, general debility ; another, congestion f the base of the brain ; and so on through a long list of common diseases, tlio symptoms of all of which I really had. In this way several years passed, during ail of which time 1 was steadily growing worse. My condition had really become pitiable. The alight symptoms I at first experienced were developed into terrible and constant disorders—the little twigs of pain had grown to oaks of agony. My weight tiad been reduced from 207 to 130 p muds. My life was a torture to myself and friends. I could retain no food upon my stomach, and lived wholly by injections. 1 was a hying mass of pain. My pulse was uncontrollable. lu my agony I frequently fell upon the floor, convulsively clutched the carpet and prayed for death. Morphine had little nr no effect in deadening the pain. For six days and nights I had the death-premonitory Hiccoughs constantly. My urine was filled with tube casts and albumen. I was struggling with Bright’s Disease of the Kidneys in its last stages.

While suffering thus I received a call from my pastor, the Rev. Dr. Foote, rector of St. Paul’s Church, of this city. I felt that it was our last interview, but in the course of conversation he mentioned a remedy of which I had heard much, but had never used. Dr. Foote detailed to me the many remarkable cures which had come under his observation, by means of this remedy, and urged me to try it. As a practicing physician and a graduate of the schools, I cherished the prejudice both natural and common with all regular practitioners, and derided the idea of any medicine outside the regular channels being the least beneficial. So solicitous, however, was Dr. Foote, that I finally promised I would waive my prejudice and try the remedy he so highly recommended. I began its use on the first day of June and took it according to directions. At first it sickened me; but this I thought was a good sign for one in my debilitated condition. 1 continued to take it; the sickening sensation departed, and I was able to retain food upon my stomach. In a few days I noticed a decided change for the better, as also did my wife and friends. My hiccoughs ceased, and I experienced less pain than formerly. I was so rejoiced at this improved condition that, upon what I had believed but a few days before was my dyingbed, I vowed, in the presence of my family and friends, should I recover I would both publicly and privately make known this remedy for the good of humanity, wherever and whenever I had an opportunity. I also determined that I would give a course of lectures In the Corinthian Academy of Music of this city, stating in full the symptoms and almost hopelessness of my disease, and the remarkable means by which I have been saved. My improvement was constant from that time, and in less than three months I had. gained 26 pounds in flesh, became entirely free from pain, and I believe I owe my life and present condition wholly to Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, the remedy which I used. Since my recovery I have thoroughly reinvestigated the subject of kidney difficulties and Bright’s disease, and the truths developed arc astounding. I therefore state deliberately and as a physician that I believe more than onehalf THE DEATHS WHICH OCCUR IN AMERICA ARE caused by Bright s Disease of the Kidneys. This may sound like a rash statement, but I am prepared to fully verify it. Bright’s Disease has no distinctive symptoms of its own (indeed, it often develops without any pain whatever in the kidneys or their vicinity), but has the symptoms of nearly every other known complaint. Hundreds of people die daily, whose burials are authorized by a physician’s certificate of “Heart Disease,” “Apoplexy,’’ “Paralysis,” “Spinal Complaint,” “Rheumatism,” “Pneumonia,” and other common complaints, when in reality it was Bright’s Disease of the Kidneys. Few phyiicians, and fewer people, realize the extent of this disease or its dangerous and insid ous nature. It steals into the system like a thief, manifests its presence by the commonest symptoms, and fastens itself upon the constitution before the victim is aware. It is nearly as hereditary as consumption, quite as common and fully as fatal. Entire families, inheriting it from their ancestors, have died, and yet none of the number knew or realized the mysterious power which was removing them. Instead of common symptoms, it often shows none whatever, but brings death suddenly and as such is usually supposed to be heart disease. As one who has suffered, and knows by bitter experience what he says, I implore every one who reads these words not to neglect the slightest symptomirof Kidney difficulty. Certain agony and possible death will be the sure result of such neglect, and no one can afford to hazard such chances. I am aware that such an unquab’fied statement as this, coming from mo, known as I am throughout the entire land as a practitioner and lecturer, will arouse the surprise and possible animosity <sf the medical profession and astonish'all with whom lam acquainted, but I make the foregoing statements based upon facts which I am prepared to produce and truths which I can substantiate to the letter The welfare of those who may possibly be sufferers such as I was, is an ample inducement for me to take the step I have, and, if I can successfully warn others from the dangerous path in which I once walked, I am willing to endure all professional and personal consequences.

Bank Clearings in 1881.

The year just closed has been one of unexampled prosperity throughout the business and industrial circles of the country. This is reflected sharply in the clearings at the clearinghouses in the large cities, all but one showing an increase in the year’s business over that of 1880. It is a striking evidence of the growth of our country that the total gross earnings of the large citifies have increased in one twelvemonth from #50,688,934,098 to $64,409,580,967, or 27.1 per cent. Last year the increase over 1879 was 31.6 per cent. Tested by these records, the business of 1881 appears to ha ve surpassed that of any previous year by between 1-5 and 1-.6 in volume. The most remarkable increase of the year "was that of Louisville, with 33 per cent gain, followed by Kansas City, 32.9; Chicago, 30.5; Pittsburgh' 30.6; New York, 28.6; Boston, 27.2; Cincinnati 23.7; San Francisco, 23; Indian.pniia, 22 4Cleveland, 21.8; Springfield, 17.9; St Louis, 17New Haven, 16.8; Worcester. 16.5; Philadeb phia, 15.3; Lowell, 14.©; Milwaukee, 13.8, Syracuse, 10.5; Providence, B.S; Baltimore, 7.6, New Orleans, 7.2; and Memphis, with » ds- - of

GRANT ON PORTER.

Ilia Change of Heart Cannes Much Talk. A Washington telegram says! The recent frank, unequivocal declaration of Gen. Grant to the effect that his opinion of the Fitz John Porter case has radically changed, and that he is now convinced Porter is a greatly injured man, is becoming more and more a subject of discussion among Congressmen, officials, and army people. Gen. Grant's statements are a great surprise to persons who have for many years bitterly denounced Porter and stubbornly defended the action of the court-martial. Gen. Grant’s outspoken confession of his own error in this case, and bis determination to make amends by doing all he can to remove the stigma from Porter’s record, have brought embarrassment to men like Gen. Logan and Gen. Sherman, who during the last Congress claimed to have given a careful study to the evidence produced l/eforo the Schofield Board of Inquiry, and who, despite that evidence, stuck pers stently to their old opinion. The friends of Fitz John Porter were very much elated at the frank avowal of Gen. Grant that Porter has been wronged and ought to bo vindicated. They ckpect to get a bill for Porter's reinstatement through this Congress now without much difficulty. A promi-, nent Republican said to night that Gen. Grant’s change of opinion would not influence Senator Logan to reverse his judgment and favor the bll to reinstate Porter. He said Logan may, out of respect for Grant, remain silent, but he will not vote' for such a bilk The Democrats generally give Gen. Grant credit for an honest change of opinion in this matter. A leading Democratic Senator said to-night that he took no stock in the theory that Grant was maneuvering to catch Democratic votes in favor of a bill for placing his own name on the army retired list. He said he knew Grant to be a very candid man, and one readv to make acknowledgment if he discovered himself to be in error; that, having recently studied the case for the first time. Grant reached the conclusion that his previous opinion had been wrong, and frankly said so. This Senator added that, hi his opinion, the bill to retire Grant will pass, as several Democratic Senators—perhaps half a dozen—intend to vote for it. Any bill to simply reinstate Porter will receive the support of all the Democrats in Congress ; but should it propose to reimburse him in the shape of back pay it will meet with strong opposition from some Democrats. Porter Appeals to the President. Gon. Fitz John Porter has sent to Senator Seweil, of New Jersey, an appeal to the President for a reopening and rehearing of bis case. Porter asks that he be nominated to the Senate for restoration to his rank in the army. The appeal is indorsed by Gen. Grant, Gen. Terry and many other persons of note. Gon. Grant, in his letter of indorsement, states that be is now convinced that Porter rendered faithful, efficient and intelligent service, and asks the President to lay the whole matter before the Attorney Genera) for his opinion.

DISASTROUS ACCIDENTS.

A Panic in n Peoria Church Causes the Death of Several People. During the funeral of the Rov. Simon xiuhlehenhoeltcr, at Salem Evangelical Church, in Peoria, 111., a frightful panic occurred. In the rush for the street some forty persons were injured, six, all ladies, seriously. The church is one of the largest in the city, and was filled with the friends of the deceased. AH the seats were filled, and the standing-room in the aisles and about the doors was occupied. Soon after the services commenced the panic occurred. It is said that a seat in the gallery 1 roke down. The people in the vicinity thought the gallery was giving away, and the rush commenced. Men, women and children poured out of the doors loading from the main floor and the gallery into the hall leading to the street. All efforts to stop them were fruitless. The peonle were frantic and would listen to nothing. In loss than two minutes the doorway was blocked up, and the scene that followed was indescribable. The women who were caught in the crowd were thrown down and trampled upon. Their shrieks and the shouting of the men, who seemed to be frightened out of their, senses, were fearful. For fully ten minutes the doorway was blocked up, and, during the greater portion of this time, half a dozen women lay on the steps under the feet of the frightened crowd. A few men who had lost their scare went to work heroically to rescue the women, and succeeded in getting them out after they had been walked over by a large number of men. As fast as taken out the victims were taken to adjoining houses and cared for. Forty persons were.injured, four or more fatally, others being maimed for life. An Artificial Earthquake. In an open space about half a mile north of the public square in Oskaloosa, lowa, stood the powder magazine of H. L. Spencer A Co. Throe boys, one of them the son of the Mayor of Oskaloosv, went out to do a little target shooting with a magazine breech-loading rifle which the Mayor had drawn in a raffle, and had turned over to his son. The youngsters blazed away at the powder-magazine, using it as a target, and one of the explosives pierced the wall and ignited the powder inside the building. In the explosion of the five tons of powder the three boys were instantly killed, their bodies being horribly mangled. The bodies of the unfortunate boys were carried from fifty to 200 yards from the magazine, and mutilated almost beyond recognition. The explosion caused great damage to windows, nearly all the plate-glass fronts in the business quarter of the city being wrecked, while many houses in the north part of the city suffered severely, the damage aggregating not less than $20,000. Many persons were injured by falling glass and debris.

Almost Young Again.

My mother was afflicted a lon-? time with Neuralgia and a dull, heavy, inactive condition of the whole system ; headache, nervous prostration, and was almost helpless. No physicians or medicines did her any good. Three months ago she began to nse Hop Bitters, with such good effect that she seems and feels young again, although over 70 years old. We think there is no other medicine fit to use in the family.”—A lady in Providence, R. I.— Journal.

A Missouri Vendetta.

Montgomery county, Mo., has been the scene of a most sanguinary tragedy, the particulars of which arc given in the following telegram from Montgomery City to a St. Louis paper: “ The southern portion of the county is inhabited principally by Germans, who have brought their own customs to this country. There were a number of tie-choppers in that section, who are generally regarded as a rough set, especially when under the influence of liquor. Among these were the King boys, as they were generally called. These boys would get boisterous as soon as the wine began to have effect, and the Germans would then refuse to give them more when they called /or it. When liquor was refused them they would break up the furniture and commit all sorts of deviltry, and had become a sort of terror to the neighborhood. Last Thursday evening while drinking, three of the Kings— Jack, Joe and Thomas—endeavored to break into John NeUison’s residence, near Rhineland, saying they wanted something to drink. Neilison refused them admittance and barricaded his door, when they broke in a window, whereupon Nellison commenced shooting, and fired three shots at each of them as he saw them. They then left, saying they would return. He started to a neighbor’s for help, and found Jack King dead near the yard gate, with a bullet through his breast. His brother Joo was shot with light birdshot N dlison was exonerated from all blame by a Coroner’s jury at the inquest Friday night about 7 o’clock, the moon shining bright as day, a mob, said to number from twemy-fivo to fifty, went to old man King’s, near Americus, where the body was taken for burial, and, on old man King’s going out and demanding their business, he was told to go into the house. Mrs. King and Mrs. Austin, mother-in-law of Thomas King, then came out, when, it is said, the mob began firing. The King boys fled out of the back door, and in the indiscriminate shooting which followed, Mrs. Nancy Austin was killed and Mrs. King received two shots in one of her legs, and Joe King was shot in the abdomen, hand and arm. Thomas King is yet missing, - nd it is not known whether he is dead or alive, but he is known to be hurt.

Mexico, says a correspondent, is a member of the Postal Union, and sends letters all over the world for 5 cents, yet charges her own citizens 25 cents postage and denies them the privilege of Licking their own stamps. You cannot buy a postage stamp in Mexico unless you are personally known to the Postmaster, and a postage stamp which is purchased in one town is not good in a town but ten miles away.

Indiana comes from the name of an early land company. Illinois from the Indian—the name of a tribe. Michigan is claimed to mean "lake countryit probably came from the name of the lake, “Great Lake,” which bore this name before the land adjacent was named. Louisiana is from the French. Arkansas and Missouri are Indian, the former being doubtful ; the latter is claimed to mean in its original “muddy water,” which describes the river. lowa is also Indian, with doubtful meaning. Texas is popularly supposed to be Indian, but may be Spanish. Florida is Spanish, "a flowery land.” Oregon has a conjectural origin. It is probably Indian, but a Spanish origin is claimed.

It is, however, unsurpassed bot has a pectoral and alterative, and will cure obstinate and severe diseases of the throat and lungs,, coughs and bronchial affections. By virtue of its wonderful alterative properties it cleanses and enriches the blood, cures pimplas, blotches and eruptions, and causes even great ea'ing ulcers to heal. When Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Mackay were staying at a hotel at the Hague, the landlord asked Mackay’s servant if his master were not a King in his own country. He was assured that Kings and Queens were not known in America, but was not to be convinced. Exulting over his wealthy guests, he next day sent to one of the city journals an account of the arrival at his hotel of " the King and Queen of the Bonanza Mountains of California.”

Get Out Doors.

The close confinement of all factory work gives the operatives pallid faces, poor appetite, languid, miserable feelings, poor blood, inactive liver, kijneys and urinary trouble', and all the physicians and medicine in the world cannot help them unless they get out of doors or use Hop Bitters, the puri st and best remedy, especially for such cases, having abundance of health, sunshine and rosy checks in them.
