ABOUT A FIG POULTICE.

TALMAGE ON THE CASE OF HE2EKIAH. Th Brooklyn Divine Draws Some Practical Iscssont From the Treatment of a rioil Remarks on the K.liciencj of Prayer. All of the people that could comfortably pet inside of Brooklyn tabernacle were there last Sunday morning. Late comers did not ret standing room. Pr. Talmae preached from this text: "1 have heard thy prayer; behold, I will heal thee. And Isaiah said take a lump of rig?, and they took and laid it oa the boil and he recovered." II Kinjs, xx, 7. Among other remarks, he said : I have just returned from a visit to wme fourteen or fifteen of the lartre cities of the West, aud I have met vat rauU tudes of people, and I have to report to you that there is a 6tate of expectancy of national prosperity among the people uch as I have never witnessed. Anion? people of all political parties and of all occupations and of all professions there is a cood cheer, which is something to fili my heart and your heart with a preat pladriee?, and to make us thankful before od. And with this spirit of gratitude to the Lord, and rejoicing that 1 again confront you in the work of the jrospel of Jesu3 Christ, I am now ready to epeak to you upon this most interesting scene epoken of in the text, in which King Ilezekiah takes eo important apart, Luxurious living is not healthy. The second generation of kings and queens and lords and princes is apt to be brainless and invalid. The second crop of j?rass is apt to be dhort. Koval blood is almost always pcrofulouf. fe are not burprised that this King Ilezekiah breaks out in a carbuncle virulent and d'-athful. The Lord tells him he must die. lie does not want to die. He turns his (ace to the wall that his prayers may not be interrupted, and cries for hi3 life, .iod hears and answers, saving to him, BehoM, 1 will heal thee." "But instrumentalitv was to be employed. This carbuncle needed a cataplasm. That is a tough word we use to show our learning. If we only used words that the people understood we ehould nver have any reputation for learning. Upon this carbuncle they placed a cataplasm, which is a poultice, and your old mother, who doctored her own children when they were not eo many physicians as there are now, will tell you there is no better poultice lor a boil than figs. These figs were put upon the carbuncle, nnd it was healed. The power of God nndafig poultice together accomplished the work. In this acre of discovery, when men are so wise that it almost kills them, and write so wisely that it almost kills us, it is found out that prayer to God is a dead failure. All things are controlled by inexorable law. If there came a drought, an entire nation prostrate before God in prayer, and all the churches anil cathedrals in supplication, would not bring down one drop of rain. I am not speaking of an abstraction, but of the theory of thousands nd hundreds of thousands of people. The weather probabilities decide everything for them. If sickness comes to your house, it will depend upon ventilation, style of diet, skill of the doctor, careful nursing, atmospheric condition whether your child get3 well or not. The father may pray all day and the mother will pray all night; it will not mako any difference. If squills, and belladona, and paregoric, and gruel, and medicines, and nursing, and atmosphere condition do not effect a cure, nothing will. There is seated at the head of the universe a cast-iron God holding in cold fingers of metal a band of law from which nothing can ever break away. My friends, at this point christianitv is to fight its great battle. Tlationalists com out from their schools and colleges and they deny the bible because there are things in it they do not like. They deny that Jesus Christ was God, because they cannot see how the divine and human natures couM have.r-en conjoined, eventration is a farce. There is good enough in us; we only want it brought out. "Develop-rjent" is the word "development." We wt-re all originally baboons and are blood relations to that monkey squirming on the top of a hand crgan. There never were any mirarles. Miracles were impossible are impossible. 'brist did not turn water into wine, but He went out amonsr His friend.-and found ome wine and brought the Mioply in to meet the deficiency. Christ did not walk the waves of Genessaret, but walked on the shore eo near the water it seemed as if lie were walking on the water. And what is more remarkable, there are a great many Christians w ho are so weak-kneed they yield to all these suggestions and begin to compromise the matter and explain iiway the miracles. The rationalists comes end says : "The Red sea was not divided." "Oh, yes," says the weak-kneed Christian, the lied 6ea was divided. That wasn't so very remarkable. A hurricane blew from one direction a great while and drove the water ud in one direction and then it was the season of the year when the water was low, anyhow, and it wasn't very remarkable that they should have crossed." Inhteal of coming right out and saying: "I lelieva the IiOrd God Almighty came down to the lied sea and with Iiis right arm He swung back the waters on the right side and with His left arm He swunsr back the waters on the left side and the waters rose in a wall of glass, through which the sea monsters looked out with affrighted gaze upon the passing Israelites' The rationalist comes out and lie fcays to the weak-kneed Christian: You don't believe the story of Jonah and the whale. You certainly can't adopt such a notion as that spoken of in the bible." There were never so many Nantucket fishermen after one whale as there have been rationalists pursuing that one Mediterranean sea monster, getting out of it enough oil to light 10,000 souls to perdition. ()h," says the weak-kneed Christian, '"that isn't 60 very remarkable. Why, you e.ee that sea monster, the whale, is an airbreathing fish and comes from under to the surface and it got enouzh air for itself and enough tor the prophet." Instead of frying: "God could have taken the prophet through the jaws of the whale, and fie could have kept Jor.ah down there for five years without breathing if He wanted to." Who made the whale? God. "Who made Jonah? God. Then I think He could do anvtbing He wanted with cither of them. Von just take all the supernatural and all the miraculous out of the bible and von might as well surrender the bible. then I refer to the bible Eop' Fables" or "Gulliver's Travels" or "Uobinson Crusoe." They are jut what they pretend to lo tables just what thev say thev are. If tho lied sea wai not divided, if Christ did not turn the water into wine, if by the power of God the lump of fizs'did not cure tho carbuncle of King Ilezekiah, then the bible is the worst imposition that was ever practiced upon the human race. But aro we mistaken? Can we believe this book ? I believe it I believe it all. I believe everything in it from the first word of the l.rst chapter of the book of Genesis to the btnt word of the last chapter of the book of Revelation. I believe not so much in ruy own existence as I believo in this book, and I come to read my text this morning with uch complete confidence that no power of etrth or hell can disturb me. Here is Ilezekiah down with a great iiliieES. It ii aa incurable ditease, mind

you. God paid he must die, and then, in answer to prayer, the cure is given. Tho bunch of figs merely the human and the Gol directed instrumentality. "But," says some man in the audience, "I don't believe the bible, anyhow." Well, then, my brother, we will have to part company for four or five minutes, for you c;nnot argue with a man with whom you cannot Etand on common ground somewhere. You cannot in any jolitical matter or any 6Ubject at all agree with a man if there are no common data from which you can start. It would be absurd for me to try to prove to a man that twice three are fix if he does not believe the multiplication table, or that two and two are four if he does not admit the addition table. .So I come with this story of the text first of all to you who do believe the bible, and I am first of all impressed in the subject I am presenting with the idea that the mightiest remedy in the universe is prayer, and 'tho allopathic and the homeopathic and the eclectic and tho hydropathic and all styles of schools will yet admit it. Hero aro two people sick with the f;rme disease. Their disorders are just alike. The same kinds of medicines are given to them and given to them in the same quantities. The

ono patient recovers. The other patient t in . l Jür 1 lues. v nai is me omereuce; "w blessed the remedy in one c:ise. He docs not bless the remedy in the other case. There is euch a thing as gospel hygiene, as Christian pharmacy, as divine materia medica. What foolish people we are, when there is sickness in the house, to depend upon human resources alone when the Lord Almighty has wrought such wonders in the sick room. They are all right, the pills, the plasters, the nostrums, the cathclicons. I believe in them. Let the apothecary send the poultice, but it is God that makes it draw. God sends salvation to all the doctors. The most of those whom I happen to know are Christian men, and time will come when they w ill all be Christian men. Sickness would often be given hack and death would be hurled from the doorsill if all physicians would come, like Isaiah in my text, with a prescription in their hands, the word of God in their mouths. John Abercrombie, the greatest physician of Scotland in bis day, used always to pray wh?n he went to see a patient, prayed while he was there and prayed when he went away, and his book on "Diseases of the Brain" is no more remarkable than his book on "The Philosophy of the Moral Feelings." How much of medical success camo to Sydenham and Cooper and Rush and Harvey through the fact that they could pray as well as prescribe I cannot say. If God made us (and I think He did) änd if the bible be true (and I rather think it is), then it is not at all strango that prayer should traverse natural causes or that in answer to prayer a new cause should be instituted. If the furnace in my cellar gets out of order the best man to repair the furnace is the man who manufactured it. If my watch stops the best man to start it is the watchmaker who made it. If my body gets broken with disease, the best one to cure it is th-j Maker. God does not make a law so strong He cannot break it. God does not make a law and then run away from it. Physicists may tell us it all depends upon ventilation, or Foisoned air, upon good fowl or bad diet, do not believe that at all. I have known invalids to get well in a room where the windows were sealed down tight and for six months there had not been a breath of fresh air, and I have known people who were sick and died right under patent ventilators. What is natural law? People talk about natural law. What is natural law ? It is God's usual way of doing things. If He should choose to do it any other way. He can, I suppose. If I eo a thousand times to New "lork and times I go by the bridge, but one time out of the thousand I choose to go by Wallst, ferry, I suppose I can. If God in most cases, in the vast majority of cases, does certain things according to what wo call natural law, I suppose he could in certain cases do something different from natural law. But my subject also mightily impresses mo in this same connection with the fact that praver must be accompanied by means. You and I simply insult God when we ask im to do something for us and we sit idle. Trayer must be made not only with the heart, but with the bands; devotion and activity accompanyiLg each other day, "Give me . A man may prav every this day my daily bread," ami if he does not work he will starve to death, or ought to. Bray, of course, King Ilezekiah, but do not forget the iig poultice. Foreigner Are Here to Stay. The Iv. Pr. MeArtbnr. We must remember that these foreigners are here, and here to stay for good or for ill. Why should they not if they come to be true citizens of the republic and members of the kingdom of God? But when they come with a red flag in one hand and a dynamite bomb in the other, quarantine them for the rest of their natural life. Our duty is to evangelize these foreigners ; to preach to them the gospel of the blessed Lord. Christ said: "Preach the gospel." Are wo wiser than Christ? Away with your Christless philanthropists. Are you going to convert tho world to Rolrrt Ekmrre I want to bring the unevangelized into closer relation to the church. We ought to bring the foreign population to our own churches. Thero should be no Bohemian, no Italian churches, but all American. Do you say they will not come to your fine churches? That depends on you. They will come if thero is a warm welcome to greeet them there. Sanctified Almsgiving. The Christian World. The days of indiscriminate almsgiving are, as we all know, past. Christian prudence and Christian wisdom must work side by side with Christian beneficence. Those do best their Master's work who can enter fully into tho circumstances and needs of those whom they aid, who can understand their lives and guide and sympathize as well as aid. And we who through business cannot do this, even if wo would, may at least aid humbly and gladly those who do so better than ourselves; we may give at least ungrudgingly to others who have a better claim upon our sympathy. Surely, if there is one thing in the whole world which we can be quite sure is dear to the heart of Him who bade his disciples heal the sick, we may be certain that it is giviüg and doing all we can in 6uch a cause. By helping to diminish the burden of human suffering we fulfill the law of Christ to bear each other's burdens. With such sacrifice m o may be quite sure God is well pleased. Pew and Pulpit. Tin evangelical alliance of Great Britain hat issued its call to prayer for the week Jan. 6-13, The Hebrew who entered Utah with Johnirnn's army in l.vW hare built them a commodious synagogue in Salt Lake City. Mr. Bishop Newman ha purchased the Burnham houe at Round Like, X. Y., and is to have it converted into a home for returned iniionams.

An episcopalian woman ia Providence, Mrs. Prof. William Gamniell, has given 50.000 for the erection of a brown-stone edifice forthat church in Olneyville, lt. I., as a memorial of a deceased son. The Jews of Philadelphia have laid tb corner-stone of an extension of the Jewish hos-pi-tal on York road, Philadelphia, intended as a home for the aged of the race and faith; it will cost $100,000, nearly all of which is subscribed. The McAU mission is now carrying the cospel to the common people, in forty halls in Paris, LV) in all France, with 250 devoted workers, holding last year 17,000 meetings, attended by 1,114,ijuo hearers, many ot whom became doen of the word. All this at a cost of less than $75,000 for the rent of 100 halls, full supplies of evangelical literature, salaries of workers (f4 cents a night), and ull other expenses. TJie Conqrcjalioiialirt. The question of securing; by Iesrilative enactment one day in seven for absolute rest, when it shall he unlawful for any one to perform any kind of labor, may or may not be considered of sufficient importance to occupy the time and uttention of the statesmen who assemble at Washington. Iiut certain it is that the people have been giving the question serious consideration when a petition carrying more than a million names can be secured with less than one year of active agitation. Journal of United Labor. Much of the irreverence observed in the churches is due to the modern method of raising money for religious purposes by means of entertainments. These exhibitions are usually held in some part of the church building, often in the praycr-meetinz room. It is unreasonable to suppose that you nur people will witness the ridiculous shows which are sometimes presented at these entertainments without losing their reverence for the place. To what deplorable length this entertainment business can be carried many conregatious have lately discovered to their sorrow. Sew lurk Christian Adxoei(e. THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

Officers Elected for the Coining Year An Appropriation Wanted. The Indiana historical society met yesterday afternoon at its room in the state capitol. Officers were fleeted for the ensuing year, as follows: President, W. II. English; first vice president, W. W. Woollen; second vice president, Gen. John Coburn; third vice president, Judge D. W. Howe; corresponding secretary, W. W. Woollen; treasurer, W. De M. Hooper; recording secretary, J. P. Dunn, jr.; executive commute-, A. K Roach, A.C. Harris, J. It. Wilson, W. De M. Hooper and J. P. Dunn, jr. The various committees reported progress 1n their work, aud particularly a lartre increase in the numbf-r of books and pamphlets of the society's library. A legislative committee, compos-ed of W. II. Fnclish, J. A. Ihdruan, Gen. Coburn, Judge Howe and J. II. Wilson, was instructed to urge on the legislature the appropriation of 51,.t00, to be used by the society in its works, the accounts of disbursements to be audited by the governor; also, to urge on the legislature the importance of making better provision for the maintenance and care of the state library. The followiu? named persons were elected members: W. K. Coiiin of New York City, C. lt. Stuart and John A. Wiistach of I.afayette, Mr. Mrauss of the Rockville Tribune, K. S. Robertson of Fort Wayne, the Rev. Dr. Cleveland, J. F. Gookins and Dr. A. J. Thomas of Indianapolis. An amendment to the constitution was proposed referring applications for membership to a committee for consideration, and went over to the next meeting under the rules. The society is making good progress eine it has been established in its new quarters, and is doing valuable work in the collection and preservation of the history of the state. THERE WILL BE NO CARRIAGES. In the Inaugural Parade Save Those of the Retiring and Incoming Presidents. WASlMNGTON.Dee. 27. Chairman Brittain, of the inaugural committee, says that it has been practically determined to have no carriages in the procession, except those for the occupancy of the retiring and incoming presidents, the new vice-president and the joint, congressional committee. Mr. John C. Dougherty, secretary of the notification committee which informed Gen. Harrison and Mr. Morton of their Domination, has written here that at least one half of the lartyseven members of the committee w ill be rt the inauguration, and that they would like a place in line reserved for their carriages. Mr. Brittain says that on account of the grent lenctli of the parade, it will be impracticable to allow the members of the committee to ride in the lirocesMon. and that no place in line can be given to any persons until about a week before the 4th of March, when the marshal will make the assgnmem of positions to the various orsanitations to be represented. Word has been received from Colorado that ICO cow boys mid a band will leave Denver to take part in the parade. They will be dressed in the characteristic Myle of the plains ami will travel uuder the name of the Ilarison and Morton club of marching cowboys. The Fifth Maryland regiment has also signified its intention to take part iu the inaugural ceremonies. KNOCKED OUT IN TVO ROUNDS. A Short bat Wicked Fight Hetween a Couple of Lightweights. Washington, Dec. 27. A prize fight that lasted only two rounds took place in Maryland, just over the district line, about 10 o'clock this morning, between Hilly Younar. the champion lightweight of the district, and Charley Gainey of New York for a purse of $100. Youug stripped at 140 and Gainey, who was not in good condition, at 160 pounds. After a little preliminary sparring, Young landed a terrific swinging hit on Gainey's right eye and followed it tip with a blow in the mouth, which drew first blood. Gainey presented a used-up appearance when he came to the scratch for the second round, his right eye being closed and his body badly bruised. Young opened the round with a hard blow on Gainey's good eye and then, with a swinging right bander, knocked his opponent clear out. Gainey did not rise in ten seconds and the fieht was awarded to Young. There was an impression among some of the spectators that Gainey was not knocked out, but that he knew when he was whipped and sought t avoid further punishment. There was a great laugh all around at the close of the mill. COUNTERFEITERS CAPTURED While Kngaged in Thuir Work of Making Ilogus Silver Dollars. New Youk, Dec. 1'7. Three counterfeiters were captured by U. S. ofiicen this evening in their den in Brooklyn, while engaged in their work of making counterfeit silver dollars. The men are William Green, sixty-five years, of 14 Henry-st., this city; Patrick Kenny, forty-five years, of ."7 Powery, this city, and Timothy Cassidy, forty years, of 60 Pearl-su, Brooklyn. At the last place they were found at work behind barred doors. A complete outfit of counterfeiting implements surrounded them. Hot ton Munt Have Iteen Dreaming. X. Y. Lvcning 1'ost.J We are told that Mr. Huston, the chairman of the Indiana republican committee, has been covered with ridicule because he has been a candidate for a ''cabinet position," and tried to get a resolution through the committee indorsing him for the place. We do not see any good cause for the ridicule, however, except the fact that his campaign contribution was only $10,000, with which he met some of the committee's bills. It is, of course, absurd for a man of his experience to expect a "cabinet position" for so small a sum as this, in these days when election expenses are so heavy. He must have been dreaming when he thought of getting even the war department for that sum. We do not believe that it would, in the present state of the market, bring anything better than a South American mission, or possibly a consul-generalship. A Gentle Hint.

IN A PIT WITH A COBRA.

The Terrible Experience of a Soldter In An i Indian Jungle, A general, whoso name Mr. Inglis docs not give, tells the following Ptory of hU experience in a pit-trap in an Indian jungle in "Tent Life in Tiger Land:" I was hurrying along a elitrht track, when, bang, all at once, down I went into the concealed pit. But- now comes tho curious part of the af air. I wentnlop! straight down into a deep, dismal hole, and at the bottom landed right up to my waist in a deposit of tenacious, clayed mud. Regular "pank" it was. In fact, when I tried to struggle and free myself I found I was held as tirm as if I had been birdlimed. I shuddered as I noted tho dismal surroundings. There were several great, gaunt-looking, yellowish-green frogs peering at me with curious eyes; and then, as I turned my head around a little, I made a discovery that made my heart cea-e beating for a minute and sent. every drop of blood in my body bounding back in rov veins. There, right on a level with my face, its length half concealed in a crevice in the crumbling tides of the pit, its hood half expanded, its forked tongue quiverintr as it jerked it out and in, and its eyes glittering with a baleful glare, I saw a great cobra. I felt utterly helpless and despairing, and for a moment my heart whispered to me that my end bad come. Then came a eort of nervous recklessness. I suppose it was "the fury of despair" wc read about. I know I uttered a savage curse, and, snatching my bard helmet, I hit the reptile a smashing blow in the face, and then began a fight tor life. It was a big, powerful snake. The blow had maddened it. Its hood expanded, its hissing filled the pit, and, swaying and rearing its clammy length, it launched full at my face. My gun was Iving choked up with dirt and half buried" in the "punk, but I had my hunting-knife with me, and while I Eiarried the fierce darts of the infuriated rute with my helmet, I made quick stabs and slashes at it whenever 1 could get a chance, and after a short, exciting htruggle it succumbed, and tried to withdraw behind the crevice, but with a slice of my knife 1 nearly severed its head from its body. And then for awhile you may laugh at me or not, as you will all was a blank. I must have fainted. The weary hours dragged along. It was intensely still and suitry above, I conjectured, for even in the deep, dark pit the air was stilling and oppressive, and I could not detect a sound or rustle in the vegetation that overhung the mouth oi ray living tomb. 1 could now see that the day was waning. The heat had become, if possible, still more sultry and intense, and once or twice I had fancied I heard a low, muttering1, rumbling sound a.s if of distant thunder. The clouds were hurrying up in tremendous solid masses, and soon a big drop or two of rain began to come hustling through the overhanging glass, and another dread began to take possession of my mind. I knew what was coming. Prom a hundred tiny crevices and gaps in the edge of ruy pit the troubled turbid rain water began to trickle down, crumbling the clay away, and I was soon drenched to the skin, and felt with alarm the water beginning slowly but surely to mount up the sides of the pit. I thought then it was all up with me. I can hardlv describe to you my thoughts. I know 1 thought of homo. I reviewed my past life. I made desperate struggles azain and again to free myself. I shouted and screamed for help. " I believe I prayed and swore. In fact, for the time, I believe I must have gone demented, but I found myself utterly powerless. The miry clay and treacherous "pank" held me "firm, and then again I must have relapsed into unconsciousness. When I came to myself it was hardly light; it was still raiuing heavily and 6tolidly ; the big drops plashed down ; I could see a dull, leaden sky above, and I knew the "nullahs" and water-courses would soon be full. The battle of the elements had ceased, and but for the continuous crash of falling rain all was still. The water in the pit was nearly up to my shoulders. I felt I was doomed to die, and a sort of sullen, despairing stupor took possession of me. I bad now given up ail lope, when, hark! I thought I heard the sound of a human voice! With all the a-.'ouy of despair, I raised a cry for help. There was an awful pause, and then I heard my faithful Baeka crying in response. A train 1 cried out, and I soon saw his dear, old, wrinkled face peering down at me from the edge of the pit. "Well, how Ud they manage to get you out?" I asked. "Oh, that was not so eäsy, but they managed it; some of them cut down saplings and managed to make a sort of ladder, and Baekacame down with a long 'lathee,' and loosened the 'punk1 round my body sufficiently for me. to do the rest myself. Then they tied their 'puggrees' and 'kuuimerbunds' together, and I knotted these round my waist and under my armpits, and with that help, they tugcing away at the free ends, 1 managed to clamber out." RIOTOUS RUSSIANS Attack a Party of Americans and a Serious Tight Knsues. Sr. r.vCL, Dec. 27. A special from Sioux City, la., says: A serious riot occurred this morning neas Tripp, D. T., between Russian Mennonites and Americans. A public sale was had at the farm of a Russian named Sink, and an American farmer named Merchant purchased a dozen chickens. When ready to start home he fouud two chickens missing, and complained to Sink, who told him to take something of equal value. He caught a goose and started home, but was overtaken by a party of cisht Kussians, who claimed the goose as their property. A wrangle ensued that attracted outsiders to the 6cene, and soon a general fight was in progress, in which some twenty men were engaged, with the Russians as the aggressors. Two brothers, named Johnson, who were fassing, joined in the melee with knives. A iussiau named Mayer was stabbed, and he, iu turn, split Charles Johnson's head with a neckyoke, indicting a fatal injury. The same weapon broke the arm of Georgo Johnson, and the knives were ued to slash up three other Russians badly, but not fatally. The Americans found the force opposing them too strong and withdrew from the field. . The wounded Russians were taken care of by their companions, and nothing can be learned from them, owing to their clannish customs. The atfair lias created the most intense excitement in the neighborhood, where the majority of the settlers are Russian, Oflicer3 are now investigating. WHIPPED BY WHITE CAPS. A Leading Physician of Slartin'a Ferry, Ö., Terribly Thrashed. CincAGO, Dec. 27. A dispatch from Martin's Perry, 0., says: At Hopedale, llarriaon county, Christmas night, White Caps visited Dr. John Parkhill, a leading physician, and gave him a terrible thrashing! His crraad boy had been intoxicated and the White Caps accused Parkhill of drugging him. Charles Uamble, merchant, hearing they contemplated regulating him, accosted two men whom he had reason to believe were members of the organization and threatened to shoot them in case a demonstration was made against liira. There is much excitement here, and the White Caps will probably be regulated. Oh, Consistency! Time.J Mrs. Simpkins "My dear, can you let me have for the church fair?''

SPANISH OUTRAGES Imposed I'pon an American Vessel at Torto Ilieo hy Customs Official. PniLAPELrniA, Dec. 27. The brigantine Joefa, which arrived at this port Tuesday from Montege Bay, Jamaica, . brings ne-s of an outrage su tiered by that vessel at the hands of the Spanish government. While discharging a cariro on her outward trip from New York to Arroyo, Porto Rico, the Spanish cutom officials discovered that twenty packages of corn starch, which were marked on the vessel's manifest, were missing. After extended search the goods conld not be found, and the vessel was seized by the Spanish authorities, who held her until a fine of $4,000 was paid, although the value of the goods in question did not exceed ?J0. The master and crew were forced to sutler many indignities at the hands of the governor of the island and officials acting under his authority. The authorities otforcd to settle the matter if the captain of the vessel could satisfactorily explain the whereabouts of the misMDg packages. After the tine had been paid it was ascertained that that the missing goods were delivered by mistake on board the ship Josephus. which lay next to the Josefa iu Xew York, but wer placed on the Josefa's manifest.

Luxuriant Hair Can only be preserved by keeping the scalp clean, cool, and free from dandruff, and the body in a healthful condition. The great popularity ot Ayer's Hair Vigor is due to the fact that it cleanses the scalp, promotes the growth of the hair, prevents it from falling out, and gives it that soft and silky gloss so essential to perfect beauty. Frederick Hardy, of Roxbury, Mass., a gentleman fifty years of age, was fast losing his hair, and what remained was growing gray. After trying various dressings with no effect, he commenced the use of Ayer's Hair Vigor. "It ".topped tho falling out," lie writes ; "and, to my great urprise, converted, my white hair (without staining tha scalp) to the fame shade of broicn it Lad when I was 25 years of age." Ten Years Younger. Mrs. Mary Montgomery, of Boston, writes: "For years, I was comrmlled to wear a dress tap to conceal a bald fpot on the crown of my head : but nor I gladly lay the cap aside, for your Hair Vigor in bringing out a new growth. I enuM hardly trust my senses when I first found my hair growing ; but thero it is, and I am delighted. I look ten years younger." A similar result attended the use of Ajer'8 Hair Vigor by Mrs. O. O. Prescott, of Charlestowu, Mass., Misi Bessie II. Bedloe, of Burlington, Vt., Mrs. J. J. Burton, of Bangor, Me., and numerous others. The losa of hair may be owing to impurity of the blood or derangement of the stomarh and liver, in which case, a course of Ayer's Sarsaparilla or of Ayer's I'iUs, in connection with the Vior, may he necessary to give health and tone to all the functions of the body. At the same time, it cannot be too strongly urire.il that none of these remedies can do much good without a persevering trial and strict attention to cleanly and temperate habits.
