A Weak Digestion strange as it may seem, is caused from a lack o f that which is never exactly digested—/aA The greatest fact in connection with Scott’s Emulsion appears at this point—it is partly digested fat — and the most weakened digestion is quickly strengthened by it. The only possible help in Consumption is the arrest of waste and renewal of new, healthy tissue. Scott's Emulsion has done wonders in Consumption just this way. Prepared by Sentt 4 Bowne, N. Y.

CHASING THE DEAD.

At 11 o’clock in the forenoon the breeze died quite away and left the big ship lazily .rising and falling on the ground swell of. the South Atlantic. At noon < the captain and mate took their observations and half: an hour later it was written op the log that our position was 400 miles southwest of Tristan da Cunha island. Between 11 and 12 a man aloft reported what he believed to be a small boat under sail to the northeast. When the glass was sent up to him he made her out to be a ship's quarter boat with sail set and Heading down for us. Although there was not wind enough to move us the little fabric was shoved along slowly and soon after the men had eaten their dinners the eraft was in sight from the deck. ” A ship's boat at sea means that disaster has happened and sympathy is at once aroused. The cook was ordered to have an extra dinnei ready. The steward received a bottle of wine to be served out if necessary, and some of the men went intc the deck houseoto overhaul chests and see what they could spare in the way of clothing. The boat came down within a mile of us and then seemed to stand still. Before this it had been made out that she carried only pne person, or at least only one person was in sight. By the aid of the glass it could be seen that he was a coal black negro. He sat in the stern sheets stiff and erect, with a yoke line in either hand, and though he had his face towards us he made no signal nor exhibited impatience when his boat seemed to drift. It was this which awed and mystified us. He must be a castaway, and though be might have plenty of food and water, he would, nevertheless, exhibit some signs of joy at being picked up on tie wide expanse. When an hour had passed away the surface of the sea became ruffled here and there with catspaws. These puffs made lanes and curious figures, and though not strong enough to flap one of our jibs, they caught the quarter boat and moved her all around the compass. The man in the stern sheets lether go as she would, though we fired a gun, waved a flag and raised a shout to attract his attention. By and by, when it was seen that the calm would wear out the sun and that the strange craft would come no nearer, the order was given to lower away a boat and pick him up.

We pulled four oars and had the second mate in command, and on getting away headed at once for the derelict. We had pulled half the distance when the stranger got a catspaw and ran away at a lively puce for half a mile. We preserved our stroke and got within half a cable’s length of her, when another puff struck her sail and she ran to the south across the bows of our ship. We could plainly make out the face and figure of the negro. He was barefooted and bareheaded, and his clothing consisted of a red woollen shirt and a pajr of dungaree trousers. He sat ss stiff as a soldier, never turning his head to the right or left, and, though the mate stood up and shouted at him, he appeared not to see nor hear anything. We had come up within 200 feet of the boat, which had lost her way again, when a puff from the south whirled her about and sent her driving at us as if she would run us down. We backed water to get out of her course, and as she come past one of the men dropped ( his oar and caught .her with the boathook. While he held her thus the mate stepped into her and started aft. but he had not taken three steps when he stopped, threw up his hands, and exclaimed:

“Why, men, it’s a dead man wfe’ve been chasing around! Look at him! He’s been as dead as a marlinspike for the last week!” Tfee man’s eyes were wide open, his jaw down, and it was his clutch on the yoke lines which held the body erect. There was no food, no water, not even an oar or a baler in the boat. In place of a name it bore the initials, “B. W. S.” There was nothing to tell us where it had been launched or how long it had been afloat; whether the dead man was the last of a crew, or had suffered hunger and thirst alone. We shoved his boat away and rowed back to the ship, and an hour later he was out of sight to the south. What mattered it whether we gave the body to the huge sharks cruising, about, dr let it continue to steer its coffin over the wide waste till some howling gale prepared a grave at the bottom of the sea.

LINCOLN AND SHIELDS.

The Dwel They Agreed to Eight oe an island in the Mississippi. St Louis Republic. The interesting accounts published of the ceremonies attending the unveiling of the statue to Gen. Shields at Washington, recently, bring to mind the famous duel between him and Abraham Lincoln, which took place on an island in the Mississippi river opposite Alton, many years ago. Lincoln and Shields were then young men, and nearly all of their contemporaries have, with themselves, passed over to the great majority; only a lew regaining who can fully tell the story of the duel, which at the time was the cause of much excitement as well as merriment among the spectators and those conversant with the facts in the case. In the early ’4o’s, or it may perhaps have been late in the’3o’s, Gen. Shields, with his warm young Irish blood, was very much Of a gallant, and it is said that he had a habit when “seeing a young lady home” from a social entertainment or dance, or when parting at almost any time, of pressing the lady’s hand warmly, possibly too hard, and this fact was the subject of much comment among the belles of those days. One of the young ladies was a contributor to a Springfield paper, which was edited by a man named Francis, and in the course of a conversation with others stated that if Gen. Shields presumed to press her hand too ardently she would write him up in a manner that would cause him to be less impressively fond in his partings. Not long afterwards she accepted his escort from a social gathering, and, true to his habit, he pressed her hand very warmly when he said good night. She was as good as her word, and wrote an article in which she descanted upon his foiole and commented generally on the bad habit of being too demonstrative in his attentions to young ladies, referring to him by name and making him appear ridiculous. Shields at once went to Francis and demanded ‘satisfaction, when the latter disclaimed the authe article and attempted to “hedge". But Shields was not to be put off and peremptorily demanded the name of th 6 author, finally giving Francis until the next day to answer and leaving the office in high dudgeon. While Francis was pondering as to what kind of an answer he should give on the morrow, Abraham Lincoln came in. Mr. Fiancistold him of the visit and demand of Shields and the' dLmma in which he now found himself, when Lincoln with his characteristic generosity, told Francis to tell Shields that he (Lin* cola) had writtefi it. Franeis pursued this course, and the result was a prompt challenge to mortal combat issued to Lincoln by Shields. As tho challenged party, Lincoln had the choice of weapons and chose broadswords. He also named the island opposite Alton as the place of combat. This was eminently satisfactory to Shields, who was a good swordsman, and on the date of the battle both came to Alton, accompanied by a large contingent of friends from the capital bent on seeing tho fun. The crowd were ferried over to the island and large numbers from this city also went in skiffs, ‘ and every manner of water craft was pressed into service, while thousands were assembled on the Alton levee to. see as much or little of the duel as might be possible. When the dueling ground was reached and the contestants were drawn up ready for the fray Lincoln made some particularly droll remark which led Shields' to believe that, perhaps, he was being made the victim of a practical joke, and caused him to ask for an explanation, which. in turn, led to the exposure of Lincoln's connection with the affair and then to a prompt reconciliation and abandonment of the duel.

Coining back g>n the ferry the crowd, which was in high good humor and full of fun, many notorious wags being among the party, bethought themselves to have some fun at the expense of the waiting thousands on the levee. So they got a log of wood, threw some clothing over it, covered it with a blanket, made room around it as if it were an injured man, aud one sat at the head fanning it vigorously, while others brought water and pretended to be assiduously earing for it. The joke told on the crowd, who anxiously pressed forward to learn the outcome of the duel and who was the injured party, uptil the sell was exposed. That night the entire party from the capital made merry over thd outcome of the duel until they left for their homes. Nothing ever occurred afterward 1o mar the life long friendship which was then formed, between Lincoln and Shields, the latter of whom was soon after made a General for gallantry in the Mexican war, where he ever showed those qualities which made him famous. The last appearance of Gen. Shields in Alton was in 1880, when he was campaigning for Gen. Hancock, who was then a candidate for the presidency.

A clever woman recently said that if worst came to worst and .she had to find some way of earning her living, she believed that she would become a “public sympathizer. Any one could send for me,” she e.xolained, “and pour out all their worries and troubles while I listened and sympathized for, say twenty-five or fifty cents a hour. Everything hould be strictly confidential, and I would never allow myself to have a greater worry, or a worse pain, or o deeper trouble than my client. What do you think of .that scheme?*'

New Use For Photography.

Indianapolis Journal. Photography played an important part in a suit at Cincinnati. The suit is one of local standing, involving the title' to 1,500 acres of valuable rarm lands. It is based on a deed made nearly seven ty-five years ago by the owners of the land, and turns on the point whether the deed had five signatures or only four. In order to test this question it was derided to have the deed photographed, and the clerk of the court was ordered to give the matter his personal supervision. For that purpose it was taken to Washington and submitted to an expert photograper of that city. The original deed, discolored and yellow with age, showed traces of four signatures and a space where there might have been a fifth, but no trace Qf it. The photographing was done in the presence of the clerk of the court who refused to let the deed go out of his sight. The negative revealed traces of the missing signature, and when it was en'.arged ten times the entire name became as plain as when first written. The Court pronounced the evidence conclusive, and the result will be the reversal of a former decision and a change in the ownership of the land. One Cent Gold Paper.
