IP In the sun-kissed valley of the Yosemite, in the far-famed West, there are wonders wrapped in wonder and confusion. The valley is surrounded by majestic mountains.' upon whose crystal summits one is half inclined to believe the crates of heaven resting, so awe-inspiring the scene. It is about ten miles long by one wide. It has very steep slopes 3.500 fet high, a perpendicular precipice 3,089 feet high, a rock almost perpendicular 3,270 feet high, and waterfalls from vOO to 1,000 feet high, while poor litt'e worldfamed Niagara has an insignificant fall of 175 feet. Now, reader, remember this fact: Taere is a greater difference between "OCEAN WAVE LIME" (And the difference is reversed) and the countless medicines on sale all over the country advertised to cure ail the diseases named in Materia Medica, than there is between poor little Niagara and the stupendous waterfalls of the enchanting valley of the Yoseznite; for it has been demonstrated right here at home and if you have not seen the printed evidence you can get it for the asking, and the names of the witnessesthat for sour stomach, heartburn, constipation, bloated or distressed feeling, nervous ailments, heart trouble and all tainted conditions of the blood, it has no equal in the annals of medicine.

A JOURNALISTIC ENTERPRISE. Southern Publishers Projecting the Establishment of a Paper in New York. New Orleans. July 9. The report has been current for soma time in this city that a number of Southern newspaper proprietors propose to establish a newspaper ia New York. Conferences were known to bare been held between Messrs. E. A. Burke, of the New Orleans TimesDemocrat; A. H. Belo, of the Galveston News and the Dallas News; H. W. Grady, of the Atlanta Constitution, and W. J. Kestirg, of the Memphis Appeal. Major Burke said to-day that there was a project to publish a paper in New York. He thus set forth the object of the paper: "A prince of the royal families never has a pain in bis ton, or a princess a new gown that the fact is not faithfully chronicled the next morning in New York, but the 9,000 columns of the jrreat metropolitan journals can take no notice of the fourteen great States of the South that are outstripping the rest of the States in the ratio of their progress, and gaining in wealth at the rate of nearly two hundred million dollars a year. Investigation of tho subject proved that this neglect was not due to prejudice. Business reasons were at the bottom of the matter. New York publishers print for the largest aggregate circulation, in New York, and cannot give due SDace to the South without throwing away local and special matter that is demanded by the cosmopolitan population. Upon reflection I became satisfied that this field could be occupied profitably for the South and for those who could and would undertake the work, and in many conversations with Messrs. Grady. Belo and Keatine I found a concurrence of opinion. The steps taken so far are only preliminary. Negotiations are pending with the New York press proprietors, news associations, teleeraoh companies, and about all that can be said further is iha the gentlemen named are disposed to undirtdkethe publication of a newspaper in New Yw'io b chiefly devoted to i-irti&teS&iraySi South, it proper arno financial difficulties faihSSSS? 5-Ri:L throw about twenty thousandwords of Southern news daily into New York, gathered at such central points as New Orleans, Galveston, Dallas, Memphis. Nashville. Atlanta and Richmond, and it is, perhaps, needless to say that the news service would be something more than the sensational record of casualties now furnished." A TRAP FOR IMMIGRANTS. The American Emigrant Company and Its Suspicious Method of Transacting Easiness. New Yoke, July 9. At a meeting of the emigrant commissioners, to-day, Commissioner Stephenson produced a German paper published in Ohio and called attention to an advertisement In it of "The American Emigrant Company, No. SO State street. New York. P. O. Box 1040, R. E. Jeanson, agent." The advertisement solicited deposits of savings, and offered to transact all kinds of financial business. The commissioner said bis attention had been called to the case of an immigrant who had deposited $2,000 with the company, and who, when he asked for his money, received only a part in cash and the rest in Missouri bonds, The commissioner called at the office of the company, and when he asked for the president a man named Warner presented himself. He afterwards said he was not the president, but only the manaeer. This man said that up to December last the institution was known as the American Emigrant Company, of Hartrord, Conn. At that time Mr. Bartholomew, who had charge of its business, skipped out with the assets and the concern was bought by J. C. Savery and James Callanan. Mr. Savery subsequently told him, the commissioner said, that the company had a charter, but diligent search failed to show any record of it. Mr. Saverv admitted that their present liabilities were $350,000, and that the only security the depositors had for their money was the personal security of J. C. Savery. This sort of thing, the commissioner said, had been going on for years, and he asked that the board rescind permission to enter Castle Garden on the plea of helping emigrants from all persons except agents of railroads and steamers. Commissioner Stephenson also spoke of another similar institution managed by O. R. Sjostrom, at 27 State street, in which the depositors had no security. DR. M'GLYNN EXCOMMUNICATED. The Official Papal Brief Das Arrived and Will Be Read in Catholic Churches To-Day. New York, July 9. The bolt that has for weeks been hanging over the head of Dr. MeGlynn has fallen. He has been excommunicated, and henceforth will be to the church of Rome as though he bad never lived. A Mail and Express reporter learned positively this morning, at Archbishop Corrigan's residence, that a papal brief ordering the formal excommunication had been received, and that, accompanied by a letter from Archbishop Corrigan, it would be read in all the Catholic churches of this diocese to-morrow. Dr. McDonnell had but one copy of the decree, when the Mail and Express reporter called at the palace. Another had been given to the printer. Dr. McDonnell declined to part with his copy. The papal brief is not long, but it is very much to the point. It sets forth the contumacy of the expriest and refers with sorrow to his persistency in defying the chnrcb. which has been so anxious to see him repent and do penance for the scandal that he has provoked. It goes on at some length to explain the necessity of the present act. compliments Archbishop Corrigan on his firmness and discretion, and ends by in structing him to publish the decree of excommunication in his archdiocese at once. The letter from the Archbishop will recite anewtho anxious efforts of the local church and authorities to bring Dr. McGlynn to a proper sense of his du ties as a priest, and conclude ry exhorting too faithful to obey implicitly the mandate from Rome with reference to the unfrocked priest. This is trie last act in the strange drama so far as the church itself is concerned. Dr. McGIynn is entirely cut off from it, and Catholics are not supposed to associate with him. Ad too sacra ments are withheld from him. The priest who should even give him absolution on his dying bed would be liable to be unfrocked. A peculiarity of Hood's Sarsanarilla is that while it purines the blood, it imparts new vigor to every function oi toe Doay.

CLAEABELLE'S SUNDAY TALK

She Makes the Discovery that Arsenical Lozenges Contain no Arsenic Two New Belles.Who Are Tonng and Interesting, with a Description of Their Clothes and How They Dress Their Hair. Coarse Language at the Theater and in the Seclusion of the Family Circle. How Outdoor Photographers Work up Business A Close Study of Femininity iu the Grand Stand of a Race-Course. Epecial to the Indianapolis Journal. New York, July 9. The greatest alarm sproad over the inhabitants of a great flat-house np town. Little Tommy Jnmpup had found a boy. of bis mother's arsenical lozenges that she took carefully three a day for her complexion and he had eaten all at one sitting. Servants flew tor doctors, and doctors flew for the flat. Every known remedy for arsenio poisoning was administered. One physician rattled off in his coupe V the maker of the beautifying pills. In hasty accents he related the case, and begged to know what proportion of arsenio infested a box of his wafers. "Be under no alarm," said the doctor; "take the stomach pump out of little Johnny. There isn't a particle of arsenic in a barrel of 'em. They contain something that promotes digestion and stirs the torpid iiver, Johnny's liver may be abnormally active for a few days, and he can eat a paper of tacks with as much confidence as if ho were an ostrich, but no further effects will be felt from, my matchless wafers." "There is no arsenic in arsenical lozenges then?" "Not a grain ; but women do hanker to take something with arsenic in. The name is a great success, and my pills are saving lots of ladies from the damaging effects of arsenical solution and other preparations of that fatal drug," The freport of the doctor at the Aldobella Flats relieved our fond mother's heart, but ever so many ladies are disgusted that they have been taking rhubarb and looking daily in their anxious faces for the work of arsenic. Notwithstanding the absence of our very fash ionable girls at this season, we have two new belles ia town. They are young and curious. Among the children who have been brought to the attention of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty are two Chinese girls. It was claimed that they had been kidnaped in San Francisco two years ago, and were held here for the purpose of selling them as wives to resi dent Celestials. The charge was not proven, and for the present at least the case has been abandoned. The girls are a novelty here. As in other places, the Chinese do not permit their wives or daughters to be seen on the street. There are several Chinese women in tWs city. and when it happened that they have been brought into court, or into the presence of peo ple with a missionary spirit, they have said that &8Si5?AS?!l-0 the house before for one well-autheticated case it was aTTiTtleoVW' two years since a female resident of Mott street had set her foot outside her tenement. It was not quite so bad in the esses of the girls, but for weeks at a time it has been the habit of their guardians to keep them shut up at home. The "home" is near the head of Mott street, in a four-story building, devoted partly to trade and manufacture. Cigars are made on the first floor, and there is a store there also. Up stairs is another commercial establishment, and in the top stories are tenement.- The rooms are of course, small and ill-fitted for habitation. In that respect the heathen girls are as well off as thousar.ns of their Christian fellow-beings of the east side. One of them is dressed in the America fashion, and but for the odd waddle that passes for her gait would not be taken for a Chinese at' a distance. The other wears a native costume. It consists, first, in a blouse that hangs from the necfc to the knees, not belted or caught in any way at the waist. Loose trousers are over tlie leg3 and bound at the bottom closely around the ankles. The shoes are thick soled, wooden affairs familiar as the foot coverings of common laundrymen, but they are excessively email and bear witness to the cramping of the feet customary with the Chinese. Both blouse and trousers are of a pale blue color, unadorned with figures. It is the ordinary costume of the Chinese of the poorer class. The shiny black hair of the girl dressed like an American was brushed straight back from the brow and wound into a great knot at the back of the head. The other dressed her hair in the native style. Over each ear was a fiat, thin circular disk of hair that looked as if it might have been made cf artificial hair and stuck to the head. All Chinese women learn early how to do this. A gummy pomade is essential to the task, but it takes considerable skill to weave and wind this hair into its thin clrculary position. So little hair is used in these disks that enough is left for a large coil which is fastened at the top and back of the head. Neither . of these girls, one ten and the other twelve years old, could speak a word of English. How curious it is that ladies of the most fastidious character will sit in a crowded auditorium and laugh at profanity and double meanings on the stage that would be shocking in their drawing-rooms. Now, there is Maria, who will not let her husband's best friend visit her because be occasionally swears an easy word, but she will scream with laughter when Actor Stoddard bulges his eyes, mak es a mouth like a newly caught codfish, and rips out a snorting oath. She will rock with merriment, when old John Gilbert, stuck up on his stilts of legs, gets red in the face and makes the upper air about him blue with profanity. You almost expect she will go home and swear cheerfullv herself. I remember not long ago a play at Wallack's had some risky language in it. A matron had sat it out without a blush in company with her children. Next morning at breakfast, Kate, the terror, began to tell an elder sister, who had. not attended the performance, about the piece. The naughty but bright things clung to her memory, and she began repeating them with great gusto. "My senses!" burst out mother, "How dare you say such a coarse, vulgar thing. I'm ashamed of you." 'I heard it last night," whimpered Kate. "Never mind if you did you should know better than to repeat such horrid things." Kate looked bewildered. It was beyond her to understand a rule that admitted hearing such things said in a crowded theatre, aod forbade their repetition in the seclusion of her own family circle. Little Johnny Fresh, aged six, walked into his mother's drawing-room before a party of guests, having come down from his evening's bath in his pelt to make some complaint. "Goodness P shrieked one, "take away that child. What a dreadful eliht !" I a5n't no dreadfuller than him," shouted back Johnny, as he pointed to a big statue of Cupid," ana I got more clothes on. Look at my porous plaster onto my back. . It must be admitted that here and there a man understands the nature of woman. Down at Coney island photographic tents abound, and the competition is so brisk that each establish

ment keeps a solicitor outside. There is one exception to this rule. A plausible photographer, as soon as he is through with one job, steps ou. of his place, waits until a grouo of excursionists come alone, containing one or more little ehildren, and then politely says to the mother:. "Beg pardon, madam, but can I borrow your child for a minute or two t I am going to make a fancy picture for a customer, and I need just sueh pretty girl (or boy) to put into it. I won't d' tain yon long, and it will be a great favor." The preud, fond parent consents, of course; ana the operator eravely poses and photographs the youngrter. He expresses profound thanks, and says never a word about selling copies of the picture a cheap tintype. The mother asks if he will let her buy one, or probably more, as she is tremendously flattered by the choice of her offspring as a model. Thus tbe chap keeps his business going through dull hours. Women are going to the races more than ever this season, and I must say that, as a general thing, they are plain and unattractive representatives of the sex. Moreover, an astonishing number of them are fat. Not a plump, chubby fatness, but a gross, material deposit of adipose tissue that completely destroys all symmetry of form and grace of movement At least half of them are elderly or positively old. and in some cases it seems difficult to reconcile the dignity of years with the staking of money on a pool ticket. For they all bet ; the wife with her mother-in-law, the old lady with her daughter, and in one ease, at least, with her granddaughter also. The case referred to involved a group of eleven people, who had gone down to Sheepshead Bay together. Many other persons on the grand stand knew them, and exchanges of nods and conversations with passing men were frequent. In the front row sat a small, wizened old lady, with one of those faces that betoken considerable suffering in life. Although she placed her bet with due hesitation on every race, and kept the tally of the jockeys on bar programme, her eyes wandered during the intermissions, and she saw only the scenes of the troubled past Her son and his wife sat with her. They were all plain people in face and dress. Just back of them was a heavy featured man and one of the fat women. She was stylishly dressed, and loud in her talk. I could not tell whether they were related to their friends in front or" not The other people in the party were certainly all of the same familyfour women and two men. Three of the women were fat; a silver-haired matron with eyeglasses, two daughters approaching forty, and a fair, handsome girl of about eighteen. Tbe latter was evidently the daughter of one of the "forty" women. All except the girl giggled and laughed behind their programmes immoderately. The men in the party went to the betting pavilion at the conclusion of each raoe, aod presently returned with word as to how the bets were running on tbe next race. Then ensued a lively discussion of the chances, and, after a good deal of backing and filling, the women drew forth their purses and turned over five dollars apiece to the men, with instructions how to place it And after the men had gone it was no uncommon thing for one or more of the women to call a white-capped messenger boy and send another five after the first During the race itself thes all craned their necks and strained their eyes to watch tbe progress of the horse, and evinced the keenest excitement as it drew to a close. When they won there was a good deal of hysterical lanchter and exultant exclamation, and when they lost there was the same amount of pouting, and head-shaking, and plenty of insisting that after all their judg: lent had been right for the trouble lay in tbe unlucky position of the horse at the pole, or in the stupid work of the rider. For it seems that the ra.ee gambler cannot err. The two old women alone commented little on the result of their ventures. Their manners indicated that they were schooled to disappointment, and that they knew from long experience with life that the successes of the day are insignificant trifles unworthy a serious thought But I would watrer five dollars even that not one of them lost or won without bonne", and . dress projects bing mentally varied accordingly. These people were f tiir specimens in their demeanor of the majority of women present There were here and there fashionably dressed, handsome women, but they acted very much alike. At least one in three varied the monotony of horse talk with chewing gum. I know the.

chew of gnra at sight; it was not caramels, and if, I wanted a?urane.i ot t i ghJj1 jia.ia J;?a,i d i Lr,Vc.rn-i.rd r iuanx Lady recaJ messenger, after giving him instructions uuw eTanff tjrdpTt-tir get me a paper of gum." A few minutes later he chops were wagging happily. A sure rule on the gum matter is this: if the mouth is kept open, or opens at every other chaw, it is gum. If kept closed it is caramels. Here are thr?e types of femininity 6een at the grand-stand: A large, roiddle-aged woman with a b'aby in her arms. She sat in the front row deeply absorbed in the contests. Before the long afternoon was over tbe baby grew impatient, and in that skillful way that all women know, the mother managed without attracting embarrassing attention to supply the infant with natural food. The impatient whines were at once stilled and the baby rested peacefully in her arms. But presently the racrs came speeding down the quarter stretch. It was nip and tuck between two favorites, and one ef them was the one the woman had backed with her $5. Her eyes dilated with excitement and ber lips separated in the agony of suspense. Leap by leap her horse drew away from bis rival and as tbey passed her and went under the wire she saw that she was a winner, six for one! She almost screamed with exultation. Certainly she made some kind of noise, but what it was could not be told; it was lost in the howling of deep-throated men. Her left hand waved her handkerchief in tbe air, and she smiled and smiled. When the storm was over a feeble wail went up from the baby on her right arm. It recalled the mother to her duty and the infant was readjusted. The emotion attendant upon winning a bet had thrown matters out of balance temporarily and the baby failed to enjoy the situation. A mellow-eyed brunette in widow's weeds. She was a fair picture to look upon, and lit ber side was her mother io holiday attire. The mother was eagerly investing in her opinion of the merits of a horse and the widow had prudently bet on her favorite for a place. Another elderly lady came from her seat near by and Bhook hands with the widow and her mother. After the change of civilties the widow sunk back into ber languid attitude and the friend said to the mother. "Did you make anything on tbe last racel" "No." was the reply, "I never back the field. I don't care much for myself, you know, but I wish we might win something nice on Jnlie's account. We have backed Exile for this race, and I do hope we shall get it; I think it might divert Julie so mnch. She hasn't taken any interest in anything, poor dear, since Alfred died. And that was fully six months ago." Two sombrely dressed women standing silently side by side at the steps leading from the grand-stand to the betting paviiion. They are within twenty feet of the gambling mass of men who stand disputing before the placards of the book-makers. Each holds a small black tag bag in hr hand, and they cast sharp glances at tbe men who pass before them. Now and then a man who goes by drops a coin into the outstretched hand of one of the women. It goes at once into tbe black bag, the lips of tbe receiver move slightly; and tbe silent, patient attitude is resumed. From where they stanyj they can look out from under their black bobots and see the horses cantering down tbe ftuter stretch. Maybe tbey do not do it; maybe ib iy keep their eyes steadfastly on tbe ground; f)M when it is over they glance kenly about tit a winner, and undoubtedly hope that his exultation will make bim generous to the church as vwll as to the poor blind man who stands witjA outstretched bat not far away. C :.aka Belle. The St I-ouis Sunday Ltw.

A MYSTERY OF THE 8EA. Th Weird aod TJoexplaAaable Story of the IXsappenranoe of tft lrteen 1'eople. Special to the Indianapolis Journal." Washington, July 9. "Hearing from all ve the world, as we do." said a State Department official to yonr correspondent the other day, "wtf naturally come across .tome strange stories itr the course of years. But the weirdest and rnsss ' unaccountable story I h ive ever heard of is that , of the Marie Celesta. All tlie facts and particu-t , lars to the minutest detail are rceordud ia this-! department; and although some years havs elapsed since the occurrence took, place and. every effort has been made to clear up th mystery, so explanation has ever been found ta clear np the extraordinary story. Ten yeareA ago the Marie Celeste, a sailing vessel, left tbe ; port of New York with thirteen souls on board, j Among the passengers were the wife and littlaV child of the master of the vessel Sha"hacU valuable cargo on board and was' bound toTill l .

The barque signaled the Celeste and was surprised to receive nc answer. Thinking this strange, the Xlritifihsr1, bore down upon Che vessel and with spy-glasses -' made a close examination ot herdeck. ' Not & ' sign of life was to co-4oen. A strange feeling of uneasiness spread, througbv' : the crew of the bark. A boat was lowered,-sn;t the captain, with a crew of picked men, palled fo. the Marie Celeste. Arrived at hoc side they t joined in a loud halloo in the hope of attracting attention. There was no response. All was ti, lent as the tomb. The captain, followed by hia men) clambered, up the side to investigate thaV meaning of this unnatural stillness, and they? commenced a thorough search of the vesaet InJ ( the sheets was hanging the weekly wash of thts sailors. The boats were all suspended in theiri places from the davits. Every rope and every spar was in its plaee. ' Not a marling spike wa missing.' The binnacle and compass were ta-j tact Descending the fore hatchway a half oaten meal was found upon the seamen's tab', i Proceeding aft to the master's cabin tbe remain3 of an interrupted dinner were seen there also, j In one corner of the room was a sewing machine with a little garment still under the needle, at;-.l ,

They had mysteriously and completely disappeared. The log book, in which the last entry was dated j 42; hours before the arrival of th Britisher, showed that the voyage had been a favorable one. They had encountered no storm, Pirates and murder were out of the question, There was no sign of a struggle. No valuables' were missing. Where and why had the crew left the vessel ? "The Marie Celeste was taken to Villel

Franche, and ber cargo safely transferred, andV ( the vessel was taken back to her owners in New i j York. Newf of the strange disappearance of thaT

ill-fated crew was soot to the State Department,,' and from there made known to all the United. States representatives abroad, with the request; that they inform the respective governments to ' which they were accredited of the facts. In' this way the news was soon made known in. every custom-house of the world. Every means, possible was taken to have the mystery clearednp but to this day it remains unsolved. It is a-. , singular coincidence, nothing more," continued" my informant, "that tho Marie Celeste ultimately came to a violent end. She was em-" ployed as a trader between New. York and Cuba.
