Providence, Rhode Island Dear Sirs: During a residence of some ten years as a missionary In Siam and China, I found your Vegetable Pain-Killer a most valuable remedy for that fearful scourge the Cholera. In administering the medicine, I found it most effectual to give; a teaspoonful of Pain-Killer in a gill of hot water sweetened with sugar; tnen, after about fifteen minutes, begin to give a tablespoonlul of the same mixture every minute un til relief was obtained. Apply Jiot applications to the extremities. Bathe the bowels and stomach with the Pain-Killer, clear, and fub the limbs briskly. Of those who had the Cholera and took the medicine faithfully in the way stated above, eight out of ten recovered. Truly yours, R. TELFORD. If attacked with Diarrhoea, Dysentery, or Cramp Colic, do not delay the use of the Pain-Killer. Sold by all medicine dealers. Price 25 cents, 50 cents, and SI per bottle. augS dim Storage.

A True Story. From the Little Corporal. I do not approve of ghost stories in general, but mine Lave some points in

them that I think may be of profit to the readers of the Litlk Corporal. I tell It to you as it was told to me bv one who was a witness of the mysteri-" ous scene. We lived in Michigan, said the narrator, in a new, unfinished house. There was an open garret, with the bare rafters running up to the peak. There was an open stairway in the garret-floor, so that we could hear plainly whatever was going on in the chamber. Father went a"way to town one day, and did not return till late in the evening; my mother, with three or four children, was sitting by the lamp at work, waiting for father's return. As we "sat quietly dozing, we heard a noise up stairs which sounded as though a ball had dropped three times. Mother took the light and went up stairs, but could see nothing; and she tried to speak unconeerncdly,when she told us the wheel was in motion. A large spinning wheel stood in the garrett, near it were the t swifts," (a sort of reel for winding yarn,) and both the swifts and wheel were moving! I stood with mother watchinga moment, and the wheel ceased turning, and all was quiet. We seated ourselves below. In a few minutes we heard the drop, drop, once more. Going up stairs, we found the wheel and swifts in motion again ! Mr ther now seemed frighteue The spirit-Iwere just be ginning their rappings in the country, and we at once concluded they had appeared in our house. The time passed wearily on, and every few minutes that terrible sound of drop, drop, drop on the floor, fell upon our ears; and whenever we looked up stairs, after the noise, we could see the wheel going! Never did I long for the appearance of any one as I ! longed for father's return that night. I W 1 , . . 1 1 1 . ll J ' J .1 . 1 i e iiuuuicti luxciucr aim suuuuerea. An hour passed and father came. We quickly told him the story, but he only laughed at us. He would like to see our ghost, he said. We requested him to be quiet a few moments. Soon we had the satisfaction of hearing the dull sound repeated. Father took the light and went boldly up stairs, and found the wheel and swifts turning as belore. lie waited till all was still, and went below. I do not know whether he was confused or not, but he only made fun -of our ghost; perhaps it was on purpose to drive our fears away. He heard the dropping two or three times, and each time went up to find the wheel whirling, liut at last he discovered the ghost! What do you think it was? Close the paper, little Yankee, and guess! A basket of dried fruit hung on the rafters. The rats would run up tbe rafter, steal a bit of fruit, thtn jump on to the wheel, from thence to the swifts, and setting the two in motion, spring to the floor and scamper away! This was the ghost, only this and nothing more. " A-ton F . Difference of "Time at Places. Prominent The inauguration of submarine telegraphic communication by means of the Atlantic cable, makes it interest ing to inquire into the difference of I time in the various cities in the differ eut parts oi tne world. VV lien it is ent parts of the world. When it is 12 orclock high noon at New York, it , alter b v. -m. at St. Fetersburg; seven teen minutes and twenty-four seconds after 7 P. M. at Jerusalem ; fifty-one minutes and twenty-four seconds after 6 P. M. at Constantinople; forty minutes and thirty-two seconds after 4 P. M. at Madrid; thirty-one minutes and twenty-two seconds after 5 P. M. at Bremen; forty minutes and thirty-two seconds after p. M. at Dublin ; and forty-one minutes and twenty-one seconds after 6 P. m. at Florence. The difference of time between the extreme East and West points of the United States is three hours and fifty minutes. In the China sea, between Singapore and China, it is midnight When it is noon at New York. Oldest Accident Insurance Company in America Is the TRAVELERS INSURANCE CO. OF HARTFORD, CONN.

We import and sell a style ot WHITE GRANITE GOODS which no other hons? in the city can get from the factories direct. Tney are very desirable styles, and will sell more readily than any goods in the market. Such Is the opinion of good j udges. That Evansville is a cheap market for Queensware no one is likely to dispute, and we deem it unnecessary to multiply words.
