SUFFERER

[Detroit

It is six weeks or rattier more sincc lounged into the billiard room of the St. Charles hotel, and looked at the flyiag ivory Bpheres as they were being ma ni JXIlated by two local crack players. I *as about turning aroonl to sit-down, when something like a cricket ball struck aeon the back, and I felt a terrible decrease in vitality. I sank 'into the chair. A dull, but overmastering pain shoots tfcrough my headj my limbs tremble. I stare with pertinacity at tbe game, however. My favorite player makes an apparently impossible shot. The spectators hum applause. An -enthusiastic swarthy-faced Creole sounds 4»is stick on the £oor. My head becomes oppressed with a load of pain, and oold chills shootup my back. -li"Where *do you Uve?" asked the swarthy faae. I looked half vacantly in his face aod gurgled, "No. Barron street." The billiard room crowded moment'brffore i3 empty.

During every half lucid n»o-

,ment in (lie next four days, when »y stout, imperious, kind-hearted Irish nurse gave me, at excruciatingly long intervals, a apoonWl of ice-water, and sometimes a piece Of ice the size of a hazel nut, I raved and cursed at my landlady.

Next«day the doctor decides I am afflicted *?rith epistaxis (I don't Htnow whether I have spelled it right). It is ^bleeding from the mouth, tongue and gums. T^fy tongue is swollen and there are iw fissures in it, and also an my igumtvand breams of blood isscing ali the tints. After awhile my nose contributes a 4Ioody stream, and I faintly ask

Mrs. iDelaney if I am going to Weed to death. "No, no danger of that. Bleeding is a good sign," she says. Iswallow lime water and calcined magnesia, which,H am informed, prevents black vomit. "My eyes, which have been aching terribly, now become fiercely inflamed and seem ready to start out of my head. Toward evening I sign to ray nurse to hand me a*mall mirror Wiiich is hanging against the wall. She refuses. I insist. Shfc persists. I become -exasperated and jump out of bod, ,atKl with a firm step walk up to the wall, ascend the chair and take it down. "Y»T SO purty, ye rau«t seeyerself," says

Mrs.iDelnnoy, sarcastically. 1 can but inadequately describe the os-

{ookiog

)ressiod of my face. It wasnever agoodcountenance. But tiiis—this .is thd faccof a demon My forehead is-cor-rugatail my eyes are glaring and bloodshot my swollen lips are bloody and cracked and my discolored teeth set last, and expressing murder aati destructivenesflj are a cotnnination and aitform indeed to give the world assurance of a fiend!

Ontilte fourth day I suffer indescribable torture, and niv mind filled with, frenjty and horrible imaginings. The central! delusion is that I am condeota«4 to whirl, in the same nianner08 the waterwhoel. ovor a measureless chasm, for just one .million years. Phantasmagoria, in the fona of endless processions of mtn, 'woinca, aud beasts, each looking and leering atione, and mocking ntf- sufferings, pass aiaag in endless array. 2 know it is the resu.lt of opium given to deadendIMC terribk.orture of my abdoiuen, but (the drug not succeed in mitigating it to any extent. The pains which in theilrrst stage had been somewhat obUise, now become aw:te, and I shout aloud in intolerable Aganf. The pain in my headfeel*m though tliWe was an iron frame on it, which «'Micrushing in the bones, till niy tortured eyes seem bound to jump out their -eeekets. The bloody discharge

Now or never. I rise with difficulty and peer round for the water pitcher. Curses on her she has taken it away I fall bask in profound despair. In the ailence of the night I hear the noisy exclamation of the card-player in the little coflve-hoose on the corner across the way. A wild idea crane* my brain, and I deliberately slide out of bed and lay prone oa the carpet. Then 1 rolled slowly toward* the door, tacking around the table and my outset thai* so a* to save cxer-

tion. Then I turn the handle aod the door opens toward me. 2fa fear of being discovered 1 I and my nurse are the only occupantB of the house, and she is out. I am attired in a simple costume, consisting cf only one linen garment, while aroend my neck is a cloth stained with blood from my mouth. I descend the stairs which load to the side door Tn the primitive manner of a child of ten months, and unlock tfee door leading to the side of the house.

Across the narrow street—it is scarcely twelve feet in width—is the one-story coffee-house. The saloons ol New Orleans are generally called coffee-houses, and a number of them keep the fragrant decoction of the bean of Yemen always on hand. This coffee-house is simply atenth-rate bar-room^f req uented principally by "dagos," which generic title takes in all men of Spanish extraction engaged in fishing or bringing fruit or vegetables to the market from points on the river. The landlord, a villainous-looking "dago," with r. dark, pallid face like a Lascar, is plaving cards with three of his customers, \reth all the heat and noise peculiar to gamblers of the Latia race. I =see them through a stationary wooden blind, which partially conceals the shabby bar and the array of bottles and decanters reflected «n a cheap, dirty mirror. I make my wav over the pavement on my hands aed knees. I paust unobserved under the verandah of the grogeery, and gaze with feverish desire at something oa the counter. My head burns fiercely with my unwonted exertion. Finally, wife supreme effort, 1 stagger across the room to thenar, lift the battered .pewter ioepitcher to my lips and commence'dridkmg. To my dying day I will declareithat draught the sweetest ever drank by man. The mext moment there was a homed movement, Two of the memran out ^rith a bowl of horror. The landlord snatched theipitcher from my lips and his companion seized me in his arms. These "dagos" are not afraid of yellow fever. I 'caoght a sight of a yellow-faced demon »ki the mirror at the same time 4yid then, oil was dark! )fl? -e

I had a relapse. Ninety-nine fioctors oat of a hundred will tell -you that a relapse means death. Two weeks to a day after my first attack I felt an. overpowering nausea in my stomach, and'ray mouth ^filled. My nurse said not -ward, but turned deadly pale. As 1 saw an inkv substance before me in the basin I paid lightly: "This is the blackwomit, isn't it?" No answer. I repeated thequestion, and Mrs. Delauey put up her -apron, like a true Irish dame, and :took refuge in tears. "Bah," wud I, witii a sinking heart, though I felt ttingularty free from pain, "the black romit -can't kill mc." Mrs. Delanev, after a

The doctor also makes his appearance and brushes everybody aside, touches my forehead, and assumes a perfuaotory appearance of attention. I ineliae to the belief that these people think that I am a "goner," but 1 exult in the idea that they are all mifttaken. The doctor, being privately advised thereto by the clergyman, tells ne that «i must die. When? Well, by morning. I don't believe it. He reiterates the statement, and I reiterate my unbelief. The clergyman kneels and prays, and the -doctor retires. The clergyman follows about an hour after, and the two women sit up with me.

Moving along the silent streets-each fallow-traveler we meet telling in «rords cf terrible brevity of another uiead«oing or gone bending over the tossing, fioodburaii\g form which in delirium shrieks out Sits wild and incoherent clamors, straightening the limbs distorted bgr the parox^Mns of death, assisting the gravedigger to lower a coffin at the sad, leat, almost unattended burial—thus those that aite left move in this gloom of death. We hawe almost-ceased to note the degree of the shadow's darkening. We no longer hope tliat midnight has come and gone the hours of morning are crawl

lope tlia nd that insr slowly up.

We know not the hour the lap*e of time had heen kept by watching the hands of death moving o'er the city's face. As the hour of five each dav by the outside world's reckoning of time approached, the body-burying men have met and an aggregate* of deaths for a da passage has been ran tip there. To chronometer we have looked each day believed that the midnight must have come that the shadows must begin to wane. How we held onr breath as fear and hone fought in our hearts and we tttched for the fated chronometer's showing upon the succeeding day.

Well, hope went down and naught can resurrect it now. We grope on in darkDees as best we may. Fewer and fewer the grotwrs grow, as comrade after comrade falls off into a grave. We stumble and try to raise the fallen up, and fall, and stumble on. All is Egyptian darkneas, deathly, horrible "What of the night?1* We cannot tell. How long till midnight even we do pot dare to guea. It is all dark, dark, dark.

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIU

By a sort of inner light, heaven-born, however, we read words that make the darkness less dark that make the grave lees dreaded cheer the heart and-give impulse to the hand. They are these: "The noblest place (or man to die

Is where he dies for man!"

Indianapolis Journal: A war v.*ith Mexico would be the greatest blunder and crime of the age. There is a ring composed of intervsied parties on both sides of the line nho are trying to foment difficulty between the two governments, and they have their agents in the capitals of both countries whose business it is to magnify every difficulty that occurs. Border collisions are manufactured to order, and the people are told that the rights and honor of the nation are being trampled upon, when the whole trouble rests with a few hundreds of ruffians along the border, who are hired to make disturbances. The United States government should go very slow in this matter, and take care that it does not allow itself to be made a tool of by a parcel of unscrupulous schemers aatd boarder ruffian adventurers.

WOMAN

By an immense practice at tho World's Dispensary and Invalids' Hotel, having treated many thousand cases of those diseases peculiar to woman, I have been enabled to perfect a most potent and positive remedy for these diseases.

To designate this natural spcciflc, 1 have named it

On its merits, as a positive, safe, and effectual remedy for this cluss of diseases, ami one that will, at all times and under all circumstances, act kindly, I am willing to stake iny reputation as a physician and so confident ma 1 that it will not disappoint the most sangnlae expectations ol a single luvalld lady who uses it for any of the ailments for which I recommend 1U that 1 offer and sell It under A POSITIVE GCAIIAVTEE. (For conditions, see pamphlet wrapping bottle.)

The following are among U»ose diseases In which mv Favorite Prescription lias worked cures, as if by magic, and with a certainty never before attained by any medicine: Lcucorrheea, Excessive Flowing, Palwhl Monthly Periods, Suppressions when from unnatural causes, Irregularities, A\ eak Back, 1 rolapsus, or Falling of the Uterus.
