SURROUNDED BY MYSTERY!

A Great Mistake.

Remarkable Effect Upon a Lot of Hardy Gold Diggers.

A rrrrnt discovery Is that, hoadrv'ho, dizziness, dull ness, confusion of the mind, etr.. are due to derangement of Hie nerve centers which supply the brain with nerve force; that Indigestion, dyspepsia, neuralgia, wind in stomach, etc., arise from the derangement of the nerve centers supplying these organs with nerve fluid or force. This Is likewise true of many diseases of the heart and longs Tlie nerve system la like a telegraph system as will be seeu by the accompanying

cut. The little white lines are the nerves which convey the nerve force from t h o nerve centers to every part of the body, fust as t he elect rie current Is conveyed along the telegraph wires to every station, large or small. Ordinary physicians fall to regard tills fact; Instead of treating the nervecenters for the cause of the disorders arising therefrom they treat the

part affected. Franklin Miles,

M. I>„ LL. B.. the highly celebrated specialist and student of nervous diseases, mid mithni of many noted treatises on the latter subject, long since realized the truth of the first statement, and his Restorative Nervine I- prepared on that principle. Iis success In curing all diseases arising from derangement of the nervous system Is wonderful, as the thousands of unsolicited testimonials In possession of the company manufacturing the remedy nmpiy prove. Hr. Miles' Restorative Nervine Is a reliable remedy for all nervous diseases, such as headache, nervous debility, prostration, sleeplessness, dizziness hysteria, sexual debility, St. Vitus dance, epilepsy, etc. It Is sold Ity all druggists on a positive guarantee, or sent direct by the l>r.

No one should think that ho knows all that it is to be homesick until he has turned his back not only on home, but also on native land, says a writer in the Indianapolis News. Here are a few Incidents that fell under my own observation during a sojourn in Australia. We were gold digging on the banks of the river Lodden, and had been hard at work for many months. In those early days nearly all the men on that particular "diggings"—as, indeed, on all the gold fields,—were British subjects, either from the “old country” itself or from some of the North American colonies. One day u rumor was circulated through our camp that an immigrant, lately from England and located some distance farther down the stream, had brought with him an English lurk. The news spread far and wide, from river to hill and from hill to gulch, and when the next Sunday forty to fifty of us went to see the precious songster we found fully five hundre 1 rough-bearded, tender-hearted men congregated about the lucky ower's tent, listening, enraptured, to the old familiar trill of the bird's sweet carol. .Many of these hardy diggers, great, strong fellows, whom no danger could appall, had tramped 'twenty miles simply to see and hear a common lark, solely because it came from their own "island home,” and it was nothing less titan pathetic to observe how deeply each one was affected by the liquid, musical notes, calling vividly to mind never-to-f be-forgotten joys. I have reason to' know, however, that this sentimental indulgence cost not a few of the sturdy Britons many an hour of lost time in the following week. This little incident lias been told with some variations from this, but 1 was there us an eye-witness, and the facts are as here stated. 1 may add that 1 saw the owner of the bird refuse more titan one offer of fifty dollars for hi.s prize. One day—it was in 1853, 1 think—a number of us set off across the ranges on a visit to the post office at Castlemainc, about eight miles from our own diggings, in the always present hope of receiving li*.me letters. Oh, those monthly trips! Shull I ever forget them? Each step of the thither journey made light and buoyant by fond anticipation, each foot of the return seeming, only too often, a furlong in length, dragged out in the weariness of disappointed hopesl We were it party of twenty, all stout young fellows under thirty years of age, and, as we went over the quartz-strewn hills and through the shadow valleys, all clothed with a gorgeous profusion of strange shrubs and flowers, and saw myraid birds of brilliant plumage, from the tiny parroquet to the great crested cockatoo, flitting about from tree to tree, while overhead shown the dazzling rays of an Australian sun, our spirits rose to the point of ecstasy, and each one of us felt sure that this time he would certainly receive the long-ex-pected missive. Cheerfully, then, we trudged along and at lust came to the brow of the heights overlooking the commissioner's headquarters, and there on a level space in front of the tents, about one- | third of a mile from us, were drawn up, in their scarlet uniforms and with Hushing arms, some two hundred men of the British Fortieth regiment of the

litti-!

I'p to this moment none of us were aware that a single English soldier was in the colony, and the effect of this unsuspected sight was simply astounding. Almost so suddenly as if we had run against a stone wall, our little crowd came to a dead halt, and while fof a time not a word was spoken each man sought to read in his comrades' eyes an amusing thought to his own overpow-

ering emotion.

As we stood in a kind of dazed bewilderment the splendid regimental band struck up, and, most strangely, the musicians selected us the ilrst piece "Home, Sweet Home!” Then, indeed, “the fountains of the great deep” were broken up and we. roughly clad, clavbegrimed miners threw ourselves upon the ground, totally overcome by the rush of tender memories awakened b\ the familiar old air, while bo) ish tears, of which all forgot to be ashamed, trickled down each sunburnt cheek For nearly an hour, until the band had gone through its whole repertory, we lay there hushed and silent, but oh! with such unutterable thoughts of far away homes and loved ones, never, perhaps, to be again seeu. liy and by we rose ana wandered slowly down the slope toward the large canvas ten) which then served as a j>ost office. While we were taking our places in the rear of the long line of anxious diggers waiting their turn at the wicket, a young fellow of our company wistfully said: “Oh, boys, how shall we livethrough it if we don’t, hear from home?” and the question found echo iu each expectant heart. But, alas! only tiiree men of our twenty received lettors that day, and the homesick youth

was not one of them.

As we sadly walked back to catnf our party more nearly resembled a funeral procession than a squad of usually reckless miners—the three fortunate individuals considerately restraining

HAVE NEVER BEEN CONQUERED. The Heroic Hawiuea anil Their Manj I)r*prrate Wars with Invader*. But these people of Spain, and yet not Spaniards, who are they? Models of ancient manners, untainted by time, so marked, so separate—as distinct in racial characteristics from their nearest neighbors as from the most remote —so rooted to this soil, how shall we account for them? Velasco, their own historian,gravely^ races their descent directly from Tubal-Cain, says tlie Cosmopolitan. Humboldt calls them Celt-lbe-rians. Theory on theory, each one disproving the last with equal learning, has been advanced to account for this phenomenon. Nothing now seems more probable than that they are a remnant of the troglodytes of the age of stone, the same with the men whose bones are found in the caverns of the Alps and Pyrenees, beside those of the huge animals they hunted. In this case their unwritten history dates from twenty centuries before the Christian era. There are confused Basque traditions of the coming of the Phcenicians to their mountains, and tlie earliest Roman writers have painted in glowing colors the noble bearing, patriarchal customs and wise old laws the Phoenicians found there. They discovered tlie gold and silver mines and vanished away in their great star-guided ships. Wars and dissensions followed; then silence again till Cnesar came. His lieutenant Crassus reduced Spain to a Roman province, but Cesar says: “A few petty people higher up in the mountains did not make their submission and sent hostages.” Homan poets expand the picture and describe tlie Iberians, as they named the Basques, as objects of terror to all the world, whom neither hunger, heat nor cold could conquer, who only gloried in labors and perils. Pushed by the Romans, they retreated to their fortified towns; pressed by siege, they withdrew to the highest rocks, watched the conflagration of the towns, and threw themselves, shouting, from the craigs, to be dashed in pieces rather thau surrender. Mothers drowned their sons rather than have them become slaves. The story of their steady resistance is nearly incredible. Taken prisoners, they preferred crucifixion to subjection, and died singing a paean of joy. Again and again, after thinking them conquered, the Roman prefects encountered fresh outbreaks, till at last the Cutsars were wise enough to abandon the effort and secure them as allies. As allies, the Basques proved, from the first, as faithful ns they had before been stubborn. More than'once their unconquerable courage turned the fortune of battles. They went to Sicily with Hannibal, leaving traces of themselves in Italy, in names of towns such as I rbino and Orvieto. Later they joined steadily for two centuries in the strife against the Visigoths. At Kencesvallos. in 77*. the Franks touched them, and the flash that followed still lights the pass and the cliffs, though ten centuries have passed since false (ianelon betrayed Roland and the furious Basques fell on Charlemagne’s rear guard and crushed them with rocks in the dclile of bones between Ilgntson and Altubiscar. DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLAN. Now York's Miserable Tenements the Result of Ignorance of Scientific Planning. The greatest evil which ever befell New York city was the division of the blocks into lots of twenty-five by one hundred feet, says Scribner. So true is this that no other disaster can for a moment lie compared with it. Fires, pestilence and financial troubles are as nothing in comparison, for from this division has arisen the New York system of tenement houses, the worst curse which ever afflicted any great community. The fact that so much of the land is held in such parcels is our misfortune, but the obstacle is notinsuperable. as shown by our office buildings. The difficulty lias arisen and persistently flourishes owing entirely to our lack of knowledge of the art of scientific planning. For who would waste money in erecting unnecessary walls, halls, etc., if he knew how to obtain the same amount of rentable space much better lighted without them? By the present system the ground is ineumbed, the light obstructed, and the structure rendered unhealthy and unfit to live in, and all this is accomplished at a vastly increasing expense over what the same rentable space, well-lighted, might be obtained for. t treat sums of money are yearly squandered upon making the structures unlit to live in. Then other great sums are contributed by charitable people to relieve the distress which these horrible structures engender. Hospitals are kept full, children die, misery, disease and crime flourish because the people are huddled together without light and air, and all this happens simply because the principles of economical planning are not understood.

INDIANA STATE NEWS. At Columbus. James Seward, aged 76 years, wa\ thrown from his buggy by a runaway horse and landed on a wire fence. His clothes and flesh were literally torn to pieces, face horribly torn and left arm broken and was am* putated. He will die. Nkak English, George (ioldman. a farmer forty-eight years old, while mentally deranged, killed his wife with a smoothing iron the other night and then emptied the contents of a double-barreled shotgun into his own brain. Goldman spent a few months in the insane hospital and had been pronounced cured. Trerk is said to be a suicide club at Madison. Kokomo city dads have passed an anti-saloon ordinance. Kniohtstown council has accepted the water works plant. The attending physician at tho Indiana State Home for the FeebleMinded was horrified the other morning when he discovered cases of scarlet fever in both the boys’ and girls’ dormitories. There tire nearly seven hundred inmates and all have been directly or indirectly exposed to the contagion. The feeble-minded patients have been isolated. The discovery lias caused a big sensation at Ft. Wayne. The other evening, at the home of John Cunningham, four miles south of South Whitley, the little child of Mr. Cunningham, aged 18 months, pulled a lighted lump from a table over on it and the infant, covered with blazing oil, was burned so badly that death resulted in a few hours. J. S. Ski.i.Kits, a minister of tlie Methodist Protestant church, Marion, was thrown from a load of hay. the other evening, and instantly killed. The load of hay went over when the wagon was turning a corner, and tlie man fell on his head, breaking his neck. Ho was 72 years old. Fori a number of months there have been frequent incendiary fires at Laporte. The general anxiety which has prevailed has been augmented by the finding of a warning posted on the Fox Woolen mill, stating that the plant would be destroyed by fire. DANIEL Ryan, formerly of Jeffersonville, and until the last two or three years tlie most popular young grocery clerk in Columbus, was the other afternoon taken to the county poorhouse. People at Middletown kick because tlie tin-plate mill’s engine makes a noise at night. Money is being raised to sink n gas well at Columbia City. The convention of the Woman’s Foreign Missionary society of the Richmond district closed with an address by Mad. Sorubji Cavalier, of Poonak, India. The officers elected are as follows: President. Mrs. W. H. Daniels, Richmond; vice-president. Mrs. Kelley, Richmond; recording secretary, Mrs. Morgan. Knightstown; correspondingsecretary, Mrs. A. G. Neal, Hagerstown; treasurer, Mrs. J. J. M. Lufollette. Portland. C. B. Bodink. a well known citizen of Rushville, is dead. Elkhart druggists want a Sunday closing schedule. In a sixteen-mile bicycle race from Wabash to Peru, tlie other afternoon, with four entries, against time and championship, J. Sommerland won. Time, one hour and six minutes; Murat Blizzard second, in one hour and twelve minutes; Bert Sommerland broke his wheel. Nearly four miles of the course was over newly graveled roads. Milt Ring, a young man of Anderson, entered Sam Hong's laundry at 8 o'clock, the other night, and without speaking drew a revolver and shot Sum Ling. He fired five times, three of tho shots taking effect, two in the left arm and one in the neck. The last will likely prove fatal. Ring hacked out into the street and, coolly emptying the shells out of his revolver, walk* d to the front alley and disappeared, lie has not been captured. The Chinaman says Ring was drunk and that the two hud never met before. John C. Russell, one of the oldest residents of Jackson county, died, aged 93 years. A factory to manufacture fiber from corn stalks will be started at Bloomington. At Franklin Leslie McCool, 20, and Martin Donohue, 19, were struck by a train and both badly hurt. Twenty-three men were caught in a gambling raid in one nig-ht at Brazil. The criminal eases against Michael Gottsehalk, cashier, and George Ober, president of the hurst Citizens’ bank. Converse, have been dismissed. John Koeplkn, mailing clerk of tlie Indianapolis Journal, died the other morning of pneumonia. He was a Christian Scientist and persisted in that treatment, although his wife died the same way a few months ago. The Ligonier fair, financially, was a failure. The L. E. A W. railroad depot, Montpelier. was entered by unknown persons and robbed. Two ladies' trunks and two belonging to traveling men were demolished and the contents scattered over the depot. Later a citizen on his way home was assaulted by two persons, and made to give up $16 and a new suit of clothes he had on. This occurred within a short distance of tlie depot. Francis Murphy i« conducting a scries of temperance meetings in Connersville, and great g-ood has been accomplished. At Vincennes, the home of Charles Purrier, colored, was blown up by dvnunnte. Purrier and his family escaped serious injury. Their home is a total wreck. There is no clew to the perpetrators. At Elwood, a gas well drilled in by tlie Dehority Land Co. and finished a few days ago. shows n pressure cf 330 pounds to the square inch, which shows that the gas pressure is not failing in that city. Mrs. Mark Miller, of Indianapolis, lost her voice through an attack of grip four years ago, and suddenly found j it again while hearing her favorite ihymn, “He Leudeth Me.”
