What T \ inf agony I endured when KJi L the attacks came on, rolling on the floor, screaming and half crazy!’ Nothing but morphine would quiet me. It seemed death would be a relief from my suffering. My stomach was in a terriblo condition, food, what little I ate, distressed me, my complexion was yellow; bowels constipated; I was only able to walk as far as the front porch. A friend recommended your Swamp-Root. I began to take it at once.

HIS CLIENT’S LIFE.

TJt Bits. For twenty years Hamilton Duke was my client. In fact, it was to him that I owed not only a competent; fortune, but my position in society. But for this I should never have undertaken his defense in this last case, my best feelings were so against him —not that I was an ingrate, but because I believed that he had murdered his wife. It was claimed by their closest friends that he loved her the first few years of their united life, though I never believed this —it seemed such a manifest impossibility. Being entirely in his confidence, he often came to my office, pallid and trembling, to tell me of some new vulgar violence of hers, which had driven him to the last extremity of desperation. And sb, one morning, when Mrs. Duke was found dead with an ugly stab through her heart, her husband standing over her with a reeking knife in hand. I naturally believed that he had killed her. He was in a state of wild excitement when I entered the sheriff’s office, in answer to his summons. Until that moment, no one had succeeded in getting a word out of him about the murder. ‘‘What doerit all mean?” I asked,when we were alone. “I don’t know,” he gasped. “I don’t know whether it was I who killed her or not. But I don’t want to die. I mustn’t be allowed to die. You must defend me —you must save me.” An unusual noise in Mrs. Duke’s room had attracted the butler’s attention on the morning of the murder. On entering he saw Mr. Duke rising up, knife in hand, from the prostrate body of his wife, as if he had just stabbed her. Mr. Duke was found guilty and sentenced to death. He was to be hanged in forty-five days. Reopening a case at that time was not the easy thing it is fyow, and I found it impossible tb get him a new trial. On and on those grace days swept, seeminly with lightning swiftness, until the time set for the execution was but fifty hours off. I was desperate, Duke was frantic. “You must go to the governor,” he cried, at length. “You must get a pardon for me? “Impossible!” I answered. “There isn’t enough time.” “Yes, there is. This is Wednesday morning and I’m not to hang until Friday noon. The train goes in an hour. If you leave here at once you can make the trip and get back here in time.” “But on what pretext? Simply seeing the governor will do no good. “ You must think of a pretext on the way. Don’t stay here and talk. You are wasting time and my life must be saved. Do go at once.” Dejected and reckless, scarcely knowing what I was about, I clambered on board the train at the last moment, and went whirling away toward the governor’s, bent on a wild, mad purpose, which I knew could only prove entirely fruitless. When the station next to my destination was reached a woman came on board who instantly pounced on me and kissed me. It was my niece.” “What under the sun is the matter with you?” she demanded. When I told her of pool’ Duka's predicament her face became very grave, but the moment she discovered my business with the governor it brightened. “How very fortunate!” she exclaimed, clapping her hands gleefully. “What!” I demanded, nearly stupefied with amazement. “Leave it all to me," she said, “and I will save your friend. No— I’m not crazy. Listen! Last night the governor proposed to me. Of course I love him dearly, and so I refused to give him an answer. I’ll promise to marry him on condition that he pardons poor old Duke."

She was as good as her word, and iix hours later T was on board another train homeward bound, and in my pocket was a reprieve for Duke, the case against him being so strong that the Governor deemed a full pardon impolitic then. The reprieve granted him another three months, though, and by that time popular sentiment was likely to cool down sufficiently to make a pa’don feasible. Nothing disturbed- m.f slumbers until the conductor called out the name of the railway junction where I had to change cars for the branch road which ran through my town. And there, to my consternation, I found myself unable to move. Mentally I was awake; physically I was asleep. I was fully conscious of the stir and bustle made by those who were getting on and off the train; but I could not move a muscle. With all my might I endeavored to throw off the trance-like spell which held me, but all to no purpose. The train moved on and took ihe with it. It was more than an hour before I regained possession of my senses. By that time it was impossible to get back to the junction in time to ■atch the home-bound train on the branch line. Springing up the moment I was conscious, 1 explained things to the conductor, offering him an j price he chose to demand if he would run his train back to the junction and take me home. That was out of the .question. All I could do, tben, was to remain on the train seven hours more,

when by tramping twelve or fifteen j miles over a craggy, roadless mountain I could probably get home by noon. Day was just breaking when we reached the station where I was to leave the train and begin my foot journey over the mountains. Soon the sun was up. Altogether too soon it had accomplished half its journey from the horizon to zenith. It was then that I reached the moun-tain-top, with a good seven miles of rough walking still before me. Duke was to be hanged at noon, unless I was there in time. At 10 o’clock I was but two miles away from him; and with all the horrors of my journey presumably behind-me,. I smiled self-gratulative-ly at the thought of how easy the rest would be, and of how I would disappoint those who were even then gathering to see my client hanged. Suddenly a vine caught my foot and threw me. Falling, I sprained my ankle, and the pain was so intense that I had to exert every atom of my will to keep from going into a dead faint. Breaking a forked stick from a sapling, presently, I extemporized it info a crutch, and hobbled as best I could. At the end of an hour I had made but half a mile, and was so exhausted that I knew another fifteen minutes would bring my locomotive powers to a full stop. Poor old Duke must .soondie. after all. There-was -no help for it, and with an outcry of utter despair, I settled on the ground in a heap. Watch in hand, I counted the fleeting seconds. In twenty-five minutes more my client would hang for want of the reprieve in my pocket. And then, joyful sound, I heard approaching feet!” A moment later a negro appeared. He was old, dirty, and stupid—entirely unable to understand me until I mentioned money. When I said. “I will give you SIOO if you get this paper in the hands of the sheriff before 12 o’clock,” with a yell like a fiend he snatched the reprieve out of my hand and darted away. Again I sought my watch. My messenger had twenty-two minutes in which to cover a mile and a half, a portion of his route being through thick underbrush. The hour which passed before he returned with help seemed a hundred years to me. “I done got dar,” he gasped, near, ly out of breath, “an’ de gemman am all safe ” Probably .it was unmanly, but I wept for joy. They tried to make a hero of me for that exploit, but I am too commonplace and stolid for that.. I had saved my client. That was ad. However, I was rewarded more gloriously yet. Before Duke’s reprieve expired his butler was taken seriopsly ill. Just before he died he. made a startling confession. It was he who killed Mrs. Duke. She caught him in the act of stealing her jewels, and he killed her to escape punishment.

PEOPLE.

The King of Portugal has the most costly crGwn in the world. The gold and jewels of which it is composed are valued at $6,500,000. F. Marion Crawford, the novelist, is visiting the family of his father-in-law, Gen Berdan, in Washington. He will probably pass the winter in that city. Professor Hermann Sauppe, who died in Goettingen, aged 84 years, a few days ago, was one of the oldest active professors in Germany. He was a famous philologist and had been connected with the University of Goettingen for forty years. He read his lectures up to the end of the summer semester. Candidate JohnE Russell, of Massachusetts, seldom does his campaigning alone. His wife accompanies him on speaking tours, attends his public meetings, gives him valuable hints as to weak points in the enemy’s harness when there is a joint debate, and hustles him into a warm overcoat and off to a hotel when the meeting is over. It is largely due to this sort of faithful care that Mr. Russell, who is not a robust man, retains sound health.

A large cross of blue sandstone, toward which Mr. George Washington Childs, of Philadelphia, gave $5,000, is to be erected at San Francisco, in honor of Sir Francis Drake and his visit to the coasts of California. The exact spot where Drake’s ship lay has never been settled. It is now proposed to place the cross in Golden Gate Park, whence it can be seen from several bays where Drake may have anchored. The cross refers especially to a service held by the chaplain of Drake’s fleet, in June, 1579, on the shores of the bay. It will be formed of huge stones, 17 feet long, 15 feet wide and 8 thick, and reach the height of 65 feet. The arms of the cross will be 50 feet above the base, and have a stretch of 22 feet. Professor Helmholtz, who has been spending a few days in New York, whence he sailed on Saturday for his home in Germany, was somewhat surprised at the cordiality with which he was received in that city. Columbia College - acted ns a sort of host for him, and on Tuesday the professors did him formal honor, while the students heard him give a brief but most interesting lecture modestly delivered upon the way in which he came to discover the ophthalmoscope. Helmholtz met Edison two or three times at Chicago und visited him at his laboratory in Orange, and says that not the least of the delightful memories which he will take back to Europe with him were the hours which he spent with this most famous of American inventors. i j

William H. McElroy, for ten years a, leading man on the New York Tribue staff,is to abandon journalism jnd take to lecturing. His three subjects are: “Famous Men at Famous Dinners;” “Repartee as a Fine Art,”and “George William Curtis.” Some doubt having been expressed is to the Jewish origin of the late Dr. Schnitzer, known as Emin Pasha, the Jewish Chronicle, of London, has nade inquiries and prints the record >f Emin’s birth, preserved in the synagogue of Oppelu, in Prussia. When the King of the Beligians stopped in a tavern at Spike during i recent rain storm he overheard the Hostess remark: “I’ve seen the mug >f this tall fellow before.” Ere leavng the place the King presented the Hostess with a bust of himself and ater forwarded a large photograph vith his autograph.

Daggers for Women.

Tewelers’ Chronicle. A prominent jeweler says he sells t number of daggers annually to women. These are not ornaments out serious weapons. They are just arge enough to slip easily inside a woman’s gown. Some women have :hese made to order, when they are avishly adorned and incrusted with orecious stones. They are frequently carried in traveling, when they ire intended as weapons of defense. They are preferred to revolvers, which are likely to go off summarily ind in the wrong direction.

An Aluminum Bicycle.

Brooklyn Eagle. In a window on Fulton street there is hung; up for the inspection of passersby a bicycle. It is suspended from a set of scales and the indicator registers the weight of the wheel 13J pounds. This is by far the lightest bicycle which has been put oh the market, and it marks another step in the evolution of the old velocipede toward the perfect .bicycle. It is made of aluminium, the metal which has so lately become quite general in its use. The cost of the wheel is considerably more than that of the steel ones now in use, but after the novelty has worn off the price . will probably be reduced to that of the high grade wheels of today.

Her Conundrum.

Washington Star “John,” said his wife, “1 have a conundrum for you.” “All right. But you know conundrums are out of style.” “That fact won’t hurt this one anyway," she answered. “Let us have it.” “Why am I like a popular story?’? “Because everybody admires you." “That isn’t the answer.” “What is it, then?” “Because,” and she glanced at her calico dress. “I am never out of print.” . And the next day he gave her carte blanche at the dry goods store.
