August Flower" I had been trembled five months With Dyspepsia. I had a fullness after eating, and a heavy load in the pit of my stomach. Sometimes a deathly sickness would overtake me. I was working for Thomas McHenry.Druggist, Allegheny City, Pa., in whose employ I had been for seven years. I used August Flower for two weeks. I was relieved of all trouble. I can now eat things I dared not touch before. I have gained twenty pounds since my recovery. J. D. Cox, Allegheny, Pa.

CHAPTER XXV II Contlnned. Lieutenant Hedges tried to indnoe rjntllla to go below and occupy Captain Danhara's cabin, bat to his solicitations she replied: -Why lie down when I am not weary aad cannot sleep. No; I shall stand ana drink in your daring with my eyes If X cannot help with my hands. Day wQl soon be here, and the Montauks moat find me ready." "Bnt surely, Cntilla. you will not exposo yourself to danger. We have plenty of men to do the work, and your ttf e Is preoious very preoious to me to allot us." "The Great Spirit commands; I wear the plumes and oarry the spear of the mighty wyanaauon. wrtere wey are seen the Montauks will follow; and where could they be seen but In my keeping. To-morrow's sun will see me as now standing by vour side," said the heroic prinoess. "Ah, Until a, would that it were my fate to stand by your side through all aha suns of my life." Alarmed at his own boldness, and perhaps struck by the Incongruity of hinting at love on such an occasion, Mr. Hedges turned and left. The men not directly engaged in the sailing of the ship at once made preparations for the morrow's battle. Ail laid away their caps and bound kerchiefs about their heads; and as the night was warm, many of them stripped to the waist and tightened their belts. The long gun was cleaned and loaded, and the broadside guns were doubly shotted. The boarding pikes in the racks about the masts and the cutlasses which the men girded on were all examined by Mr. Dayton. The fire buokets were filled and placed within reach, and in the cockpit the ship's surgeon and his assistants made every preparation for the reception and treatment of the wounded. Battona were cooked for the men, to be nsed on the morrow, and then the fire in the galley was extinguished. While these preparations were going on. Lieutenant Hedges, who with Untilla stood near the helm, saw the lights on board the Wanderer off Gardner's Island. "There Is the ship we are looking for," said UntiUa. "I sea her; but we shall keep on till we sea the Montauk beacon, then 'bout ship and comeback; by that time it will ba daylight," replied Mr. Hedges. The Sea Hawk bounded away, the waves hissing from her prow like the voice of an angry serpent, and her ropes straining like the muscles of a oreature hungering tor the contest that lay before her. "Montauk light on the starboard bow, " repeated the offloer of the watch. Bear away one point to the east," said Lieutenant Hedges to the two men placed at the wheel. On sped the Sea Hawk with the eager Bight of the bird after whom she was named. Montauk light rose up bold and clear from the headland; and as the eagle In wild speed stops and wheels back on the course he has come, so wheeled and turned the ship. A gray streak of dawn in the east, but the Sea Hawk faoed the darkness to the west. Gardner's Island was now dead ahead. More light filling land and sea, and the Sea Hawk turned the point, and up to her peak ran the ensign of the province. There at anchor, not a mile away lay the Wanderer, her boats alongside after landing her visitors. In alarm Captain Fox ran forward and shouted to the coming ship. .bar board, you luDoers! Liarboard!" A shot from the long gun of the Sea Hawk was the only reply. The ships - were now only a hundred yards apart. Fox saw his danger and shouted to his boatswain, and then rang out the shrill whistle calling the startled crew of the Wanderer to arms. The Bea Hawk folded her wines. She was alongside, and her grappling Irons, like great talons, were fastened In her victim. Down went the anchors, and Hedges' guns and the cheers of his men rang along the shore. CHAPTER XXVIII. IBB ISO OF THE COSTBST. It was Captain Fox's boast that he never permitted himself to be taken by surprise. But he was certainly surprised now. He could not credit his eyes and ears when he saw the Sea Hawk grappling with the Wanderer, and heard the shot that oame from the signal gun crashing tnrougn ine nun oi nis own snip. Quick-brained, he took In the danger, and his first thought was that one of the men he had senton board the Sea Hawk had betrayed him. In no other way, he was sure, could his personality and schemes be detected. Bat there was no time for guessing; no time for anything but to shake off th j toe that had swooped down on him and fastened her sharp talons in his side In a death grip. So well trained were his men that they threw off their Jackets, tore the pikes from the racks, and rushed to their posts while yet the shrill whistle of the boatswain was piping all hands to quarters. . The Wanderer was always ready for action; her guns were shotted at all times, and never left unloaded except when the charges were drawn to clean them. Now the great gun amidshlp turned her muzzle to the neck of the Sea Hawk, and its fiery breath blazed through the shrouds of both ships. The fifteen broadside guns were run oat until they touched the blaok side of the Sea Hawk, close to the water line, and then the solid shot wont tearing and crashing through her timbers, a fountain of splinters flying up from the shock. Lieutenant Hedges had hoped, from the suddenness of the attack, to find the Wanderer wholly unprepared for resistance. He thought to board tho foe and overpower him before ho could strike a blow; but now, as ho saw the wonderful alacrity with which the pirates rushed to their posts, he almost forgot, in the momentary admiration of the act, the all-important mission on which he had come. It was agreed between him and UntiUa that her people should remain out of sight till his men had gained the deck of the foe, where they expected to meet Ealph Penham, when the Montauks were to swarm on board shouting the battle cry of their tribe. In accordance with this plan. Lieutenant Hedges, sword In hand, was the first man to leap on the deck of the Wanderer, Mr. Dayton remaining back to direct matters on board. With the quick bound of tigers two score stalwart young men imitated their daring leader, and, quicker than the heroic deed can be recorded, they made for the long gun amidships, and drove back or killed the men who were fighting it. With that quickness of perception and action that would have mado Mm the foremost seaman in the world, had he been engaged in a righteous oause, Captain Fox saw his opportunity. "Throw oft the grapples! " ho roared. "Leave the deck to me, I'ri-nnuld! Hurrah for the men of the Wanderer!" High over the clash of swords, the oar of cannon, sad the autok, harsh.

orashing of firclooks, rang out the voico of the pirate chief; his men heard his words and seomod transformed into fiends. Frenauld ran to part the ships; another instant and tho tide and wind would have separated thorn, so . fnr that, though they were anchored nearly head to head, boarders could not go from one to tho othor. But before the axes could sever tho last ropos a high, shrill cheer rose up from tho deck of tho 8oa Hawk. It was like the united orios of a hundred eagles when circling in mid-heaven they see far beneath thorn the robbers despoiling tholr nests, and they swoop down to defend and destroy. "I wear tho plumes of Wyandauch! Men of Montauk, follow your queou!" UntiUa stood on tho bulwark of the Wanderer' and waved tho glittering blade above her head. "We come! Our princoss, we oomo!" shouted the Montauks. UntiUa loaped to tho deck, una when she raised the spear of Wyandauch again it was redder than tho waves, blushing in tho light of the rising sun. In the meantime Frenauld's men swung their axos with all their might; and when about one-half the Montauks reached the Wanderer's deck the gap between the ship had increased so much that the others wore forced to remain behind. Wondering why Captain Denham, who must have heard tho signal given, did not reSDOUil, Lieutenant Heilo. with a view to oheerlng his own men as well a to attraot the attention of his commander, raised the cry: "Kalph Denham! Balph Denham!" Fox heard him, and pressing hie men to one side, he replied: "Ralph Donham is dead, curse youl" The next instant ho was before Lieutenant Hedges. "Murderer, you lie!" retorted the gallant sailor, and with a leap that would have been surprising even in nn athleto, he stood face to face with the pirate. There was no time for taunt or expression of rage. Tho rod swords oiroled and fell: glanced, flashed, and rose again, and Hougee, the stronger ot tho men, pressed on, and bore baok his assailant. At the best, tho contest between the men would have beet uncertain, had not one of the pirates leaped at the first officer of the Boa Hawk, struck him over the head, and sent him reeling and bleeding to the deok. UntiUa saw the act, and, with a f ry of rage that appalled those who came In her way, her spear gleamed llko the lightning, and, like its bolt, trannfixed the man who had strloken down the Lieutenant. While this was going on ( apt Denham and his men, at the souna of the signal gun, had ma je their way through the opening, which Don had arranged. But the very shot that had called them to action had so torn the tiiabors in the advance as to virtually blook them in. In the dim light they worked like giants to release themselves, but whenever they lifted one timber from their front another dropped in behind it Capt Denham heard his name shouted on the deok, and he recognized the voice of Lieut Hedges. H felt; like answering back, but checked himself. Still the Coptoin and his men worked, and still rose and fell the tramping of foot, the oath aud shout, and the clashing of arms overhead, while the tihips, though no longer side by side, used their cannon on each other with murderous effect. In despair, Capt Denham was about to turn back, for tho purpose of finding some other way to the deok, if that wero possible, when he hoard Don in front calling out: "Patience, men of the Soa Hawkj patience!" By the dim light they could catch the gloom of an ax in the hands of the youth, and they saw that it rose and fell. A few minutes, and there came a crash, followed by a cloud of dust. Don had cut the key-piece, and the whole mass of rubbish oame down. The men, eager to speed to the aid of their comrades, could not restrain tho cheer that loaped to their lips. "God bless you!" was all tho Captain could say, as he ran past Don into the armory, the walls of whioh were lined with cutlasses and guns. For tho latter the sailors cared nothing. They flew for the outlasBes, drew the blades, and flung away the scabbards, and then rushed after the Captain, who was on the stairs leading to the deok. The sight that met Captain Denham's eye would have appalled a heart less resolute. The handful of men that Lieutenant Hedges hod led to the ship wore gathered about the prostrate form ot their ! leader, fighting desperately, though against overwhelming odds. The Montauks under UntiUa had just charged over the deck, and were re pulsed, and the pirates, confident that the tide of battle was turning in their favor, cheered and fought like Incarnate demons. As Kalph Denham hurried to tho deck he threw off his disguise, and though dressed exactly like his crew, there was no mistaking him. The Sea Hawk men and the Montauks, on the forward part of the ship, saw and recognized him before tho pirates did. "iialph Denham! Falph Denham!" went up the cry from the gallant sailors who saw victory ooniing, personified in the person of tholr beloved loader. "Men of the Sea Hawk! To the rescue! Chargo!" thundered Italph. There was only need to follow his example. Thoso who had been burning with anxiety to get to tho deck, now saw their chance. In the front Frenauld wheeled his men, and tried to stem the unexpected onset. He fell beneath Denham's blade, and many of his followers, to avoid tho fury of that irreslstiblo onset, leaped into tho sea. That part of tho deck was speedily cleared, and Balph knelt to raise his old friend, but Lieutenant Hedges grasped his hand, and in a voice still strong, though ho was bleeding to doath, said: "Don't mind mo! Don't stop till tho ship is ours." Telling one of the sailors to call Mr. Dayton to send tho surgeon on board tho Wanderer at once, Captain Donham enjolnod his men to follow again, for it was all important that the piratos should not have time to recover from the demoralization which his coming had caused. "Never mind your pistols, my lads!" cried Donhnm, when ho saw his men drawing tho weapons thoy had conoealed on their persons. "Give them the cold steel, and drive them into the soa." "Aye, aye, sir!" "Sweep tho quarter deck; capture Kidd alive!" This ( aptaln Denham shouted, as, with I'ntilla by his side, and tho sailors and warriors pressing close behind, they sped to the place where the pirates, rallied by their desperate leader, wore to make their last stand. Fox saw Balph Donham, looked into his blazing eyes, but tlll ho could not credit tho evidence of his sonsos. Ghost or man, he would try him. And Fox did try, with a heroism worthy of a better cause, to defend or check the onset. But his men bad lost heart They went down before tho flashing blades as the ripe grain drops beforo the sickle of the reaper, and the plrato chief was loft nearly alone on the quarler-dock of the Wanderer. "Burrei.der, Kidd! Surrender!" shouted Italph. For answer the pirate with a hoiriblo oath, discharged his remaining pistol at his conqtteror, and waiting only long enough to note that ' he shot had no ef

fect, ho turned and flung himself Into tho sea. It will bo remembered that the boats In which tho visitors were landed, wore still alongside, there not having boon time to hoist them on dock before Lieutenant Hedges made his daring attack. Captain Fox found a number of the pirates In one of those boats, and thoy had seized the oars and wore in the aoi of cutting the ropo when he crawled on board. Ho nnvor for nn Instant lost the power

! to command. Seizing the tiller he called i out to hie men: ! "Potter luck noxt time, my lads. We ! have booty enough or. shore to fit out a ! score of ships like the Wanderer. Pull away!" i Tho pirates took the oars and obeyed ! him, for obedience is a habit that clings to men aftor the powor to enforce It has gone. So busy wore Captain Donham and his men, that thoy did not see this act of tho pirate chief, an act that was not destined to be of great advantago. Within a few minutes after the disappearance of Fox, every pirate on the Wandorer not dead was a prisoner and under guard. Mr. Dayton had by this time worked his ship alongside the Wanderer and again they were made fast, with their shattered ' hulls grating against eaoh other. Captain Denham was about to go for ward to whore tho surgeon was dressing Lieutenant Hedges' wound, when Don touched him on the arm and said: ' "If you pleaso, s!r, there's some ladies in the abln that was locked up' till I release ! them. Thoy wished to come ou deck, but I advised them not, and they want t j see von." Italph Denham did not wait to asU who they were; his heart told him, so ho ran at onoo bolow. Ho bounded down the companion-way and into the cabin, with its pictures and articles of luxury untouched, and he saw in the middle of the floor, with their arms enciroling eaoh other as if tor mutual protection, Lea Hedges ana Ellen Condlt. TO MS CONTINUED. FOUND ON THE UPPER NILE. Eridonoe Showing that Photography of a Kind Was Known 6,ooo Year Ago. "I have spent much time in traveling in India, Borneo and on th Malay peninsula," said William Huntington to a San Francisco Examinei man a few days ago, "and 1 have also traveled a good deal in other lands. I think, on the whole, that the most Interesting experience I ever had was In an ancient city on the Nile in upper Egypt. I am not going to quote any guide books nor more than allude to anything that Is not well known, but I want to say that to even a well-informed man the things he sees on the upper Kile will stay with him forever. I may be permitted perhaps to remind you that these cities are more than 6,000 years old, and that some of them had as many as a million inhabitants each. Indeed, some of them had more. Well, when I was there a year ago, and men were digging among th ruined temples, some curious things were brought forth, and these I regard as the strangest of things seen in all my wanderings. In an old tomb was found a curious iron and glass object, which on investigation proved to te a photographic camera. It was not such a camera as is used now, or has been since our photography was invented, but something analogous to it, showing that the art which wc thought we had discovered was really known 0,000 years ago. "Another thing discovered there in the sands of the Kile was a plow, constructed on the modern plan. It was not of steel, but of iron, and it had the same shape, the same form of point and bend of moldboard as we have now. Yet another thing was brought forth, showing that they were expert astronomers. It was a lens, constructed in such a way as gave evidence to the fact that they knew the distance from the earth to the sun and moon, and had many of our modern ideas in regard to the science. I saw where the Mohammedans had razed and attempted to totally destroy those cities, but many of the buildings, or at least parts of them, are yet in a good state of preservation. The stones are largely jfranite, and there never was a better expression than the term 'imperishable granite,' so far as they are concerned. These things start men to thinking and convince us that civilization may, after all, move in a circle and the things which we call new are often as old as the mountains. America and California are new to me, but already I find here you refer to your lost civilization, meaning, as I take It, more particularly the civilization of the Aztecs and Toltecs. I don't know whether you will And a common plow, an astronomical instrument and camera or not, but I would not be surprised if someono should find as remarkable things in this country as they have in Egypt." I'ronnmirlnr Foreign Words. Foreigners are so inflnitoly more civil than we about njstake in pronunciation that that is half the trouble with us. II we wore obliged to speak properly in order to make ourselves understood, it would be an excellent corrective. But in addition to their politeness, foreigners aro much more eager to master our language than we to acquire theirs. Hence, instead of learning, we often teach when wo visit foreign lands. And a good many foreigners cater to our Ignorance when they come to live hore, probably for business reasons. Germans actually mispronounce their own names to please us! And as for articles of trade, they bocomo mutilated and unrecognizable at tholr hands. It is not much trouble to learn that w cvon in English nn eccentric letter with soveral sounds is pronounood v in German, and that a wiencrwust is a Vienna sausage. It would add to our knowledge, too. But tho man who soils tho sausage calls It a woenerworst instead of a voonervoost, and the lesson Is lost. He sacrifices his birthright for a moss of sausage, and wo our chance of learning something which may be useful under other clrcumstanoos. At all events it is a good investment always to know what one la talking about. Chicago Post. Cut daft Xerili Orcilt Ca.-o. To possess any amount of cut glass, like everything olse worth having, involves extra caro and labor, for if it is not kept brilliantly clean it might bettor bo simply pressed. An ordinary washing, as of tho dishes, doesn't answer for this. Glass that Is deeply o-jt gathers In tho crevices particles ol dust which cannot bo removed with a cloth. It must bo scrubbed with a brush oo caslonaily, with tho use of soap and household ammonia. Aftor this it must be thoroughly rinsod and then wiped dry anil polished. Alter drying a little alcohol and a brisk rubbing with o chamois skin will produce best results. Morbid TiHtK. Truly, there Is no accounting for tastes In this world of ours.

THE EXTRA SESSION,

CRISP AGAIN CHOSEN SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE. rho Meeting In tho Twelfth Extraordinary Beulon tn the History of tho United States New Faces and New Committees in tho Senate, Etc. a Dcuiotrntio Congress ' N response to tho proclamation of Pres- . ident Cleveland, Con gress has, for tho twelfth timo in tho history of tho United States, assembled la " oxtraordin ary" session. The session marks a milestone In Amorican hlstory( i as it brings togotherforthe first time In thirty voara a ComrreBB 1 u i .. T . ; iutiauvu(vv(ttcw ;D in both branches, supported b y a Domocratio President. Aside from this political revolution, whioh took definite expression on its assemblage, this Congress is brought together by circumstance of unusual moment. The whole country is looking to it for relief. Business interests are standing still, and in some eases prostrate until Congress affords relief. It la seldom that Senators and members have come together with a feelinp rf frr-avor responsibility than that which is felt and experienced on all sides at the present timo -The session opened with prayer by the Senate's new chaplain, Mr. Milburn. Its two principal officers, Mr. Cox, the new Secretary, and Mr. Hrlght, tho now Sergonnt-at-arms, also represented the changed political complexion of the body. All the committee clerkships underwent political change during the extra session In March, and most of tho appointees under the former Secretary and Ser-geant-at-ni-ms have only hud their official docapitation post period, not averted. There were very few preliminaries beforo tho serious business of Congress began. The Senate committees had already boon chosen, and the organization with new officers was complete. In the House Speaker Crisp again presides, according to the unanimous action of the Democratic caucus. The only change in tho House organization was in throe minor officers doorkeeper, sergeantrat-arms, and chaplain. Ex-Congressman Snow of Illinois became the new sergoant-at-arms of the House, aftor a close contest in the Democratic caucus, In which he beat tho old ser-geant-at-arins, Mr. Yoder, by only one vote. The first business after the Senate was called to order was to administer the oath of office to throe Senators and to Mr. CVix, tho new S,-orotnry of tho Sonato. The Senators who took the oath are Mr. Perkins, who succeeds Senator Stanford; Mr. Paseoe, of Florida, who has been re-elected aftor serving ad interim under a gubernatorial appointment; and Mr. Quay, of Pennsylvania, who was not present during the last extra session, and so has not yet qualified. As soon as notice was received from the House that it bad organized, the proper committee was appointed to wait upon tho President and notify him that Congress was ready to receive any communication he may care to make. This called forth the message explaining the President's reasons for convening Congress in speoial Besslon. Bootine Proceedings. Except the seating ot Goo. F. Richardson. Democrat, from the Fifth Michigan district, over Charles E. Belknap. Republican, tho Hou-e transacted no business of importance after tho open I uir sexton, but adjourned until Thursday. The Senate was In session Wednesday only twenty minutes and a considerable part ot that time was occupied by tbeChapluIn in an eloquent eulogy of the lato Senator Stanford of California. The only Item of business transacted "as the reference to the Committee on Appropriations of the Houso joint resolution to provide for tho payment of sessional employes of tho House during the present txtr&ordlnary session.

While the horses were being landed at the slip they managed to get away from tho men in charge, and ran away like wild animals through the city. The agent caught ono of them, and mounting him gave chase. Aftor several hours of exciting work, with the help of his men, he had captured all but ono of tho horses, an ho counted them. Finally, he mado his reluctant way to the superintendent's office to give an account of the matter. The sufierintendent came to tho door and Lstened to tho story. 'And you say there wero 12-t horses in all, and you have eighty of them in the company's stables and forty-three of them Diie'k in the steamer temporarily?" "Yes, sir, all safe hut ono; and we cannot find him anywhere." "What is that horse you are riding?" Rebuked the Emperor. The favorito horse of the Chinese Emperor Tsi having died through negligence on tho part of the master of the horso, tho Emperor, in his rage, would have run that functionary through with his sword. The Mandarin YemVse, however, parried the blow, saying: "Sire, this man is not yet convicted of tho crime for which he deserves to die." "Well, then, tell him what it is." "Listen, you scoundrel," said the minister, "to an enumeration of the crimes which you have committed. First, you have allowed a horso to perish whioh the Emperor had intrusted to your safekeeping. Moreover, it is owing to you that our sovereign became so exasperated that ho was on the point of killing you with his own hand. Lastly, it is your fault that he was about to disfraco himself in tho eyes of everybody y killing a man for a horse." "Let him go," interrupted tho Emperor, who understood the lesson; "I pardon him." She Understood. Among tho many stories told of the childhood of Queen Victoria is one of a visit made with her mother at Wenfrworth Houso in Yorkshire. While there tho princess delighted in running about by herself in the gardens and shrubberies. One wet morning soon after her arrival tho old gardener, who did not know her, saw her about to descend a treacherous bit of ground from the terrace, and called out: "Be careful, miss, it's slape!" a Yorkshire word for slippery. rne evor-curtous frineoss, turning ber head, asked, "What's slape?" and at the same instant her feet flew from under her, and she came down. The old gardner ran to assist her, saying as ho did so, "That's slape, miss." Hoofed With Salt. There is a remarkable lake near St. Dorsk, Siberia, which is completely roofed in by a covering of crystal salt. Tho lake is nine miles wide and seventeen long, and wit hin the memory of man was entirely roofed over by tho salt deposit. Originally, evaporation played tho most prominent part incoattnjj tho lako over with salt, but at tho present timo tho salt springs which surround it aro adding fast, to the thickness of the crust. In tho long ago, rapid evaporation of the lako's waters left great salt crystals Heating on tho surface. In course ot time these caked toget her. Thus the waters wero finally entirely covered.

Somo years ago the late Prince Adolf zu Scliaumburg-Lippe whose family is the richest house in Germany and tho other princes who belonged to the South German Bund, had a meeting at Frankfort-on-the-Main, when they were entertained inamostsumptious fashion by the towns-people.

Q, Health," etc. . now a Dying; Man Feeb. Numerous experiments made in hospitals and upon herioc scientists who have permitted tests to be made upon themselves right down to the moment of death warrant these conclusions: . That a dying man may be burned with red-hot iroris and yet not feel the least pain. That consciousness may remain In the dying almost to the moment of actual dissolution, but that most people generally lose the power o' thought long beforo death. That in case of death where there seems to bo extreme suffering, with writhings and spasms, such phenomena is generally due to reflex muscular action. Also, that fear weakens the muscular system and hastens doath, while the reverse may prolong life. St. Ixuia-Republic.
