The Greatest Gift He Ever Made. It ha, been stitod in some of our exchanges that Mr. H. IL Warner, of Rochester, N. Y., in the last eight years, has, through his devotion to science, built an astronomical observatory at an estimated value of SIOO,OOO, and given between S4,CM) and $5,000 in pr zee for astronomical discovery. This is all very well, if Mr. Warner seeks to divert his energies in this channel But from all we can hear among the people, if ho never gave anything to the world except his great remedy, Warner’s safe cure, formerly known as Warner’s safe kidney and liver cure, he would be conferring the most practical and far-reaching benefit that it is in the power of anyone man to give the public. It is now conceded that he has the only specific for k-dney disease and uric acid in the blood, and medical authorities of candor agree that if the blood is 1 reed from uric acid by that great remedy, and the kidneys are kept in health, over ninety per cent ot human diseases disappears. The manufacturers evidently know, and if they do not, we would like to tell them, of the unanimity of public sentiment in favor of their great remedy; indeed, they seem to realize thn, when they say: “If you do not believe the statements we make, ask your friends and neighbors, what they think of Warner’s safe cure.” Such evidence of confidence in the established character and worth of their preparation is unprecedented Unless they know it has merit, and will do precisely what they state, they would not dare give such advice to the public. Such confidence ought to be infectious. An Arctic Garden. A curious geological phenomenon exists in the vicinity of Behring’s Strait. At Elephant Point, Kotzbue Sound, a ridge two miles wide and two hundred and fifty feet high seems to be a vast mass of ice, thinly covered with clay and vegetable mold. In this soil birches, alders, and berry-bearing plants grow luxuriantly, with the stratum of perpetual ice as the underlying rock within less than a foot from their roots. Useful and Hurtful Medicines. There is a certain class of remedies for constipation absolutely useless. These are boluses and potions made in great part of podophyllin, aloes, rhubarb, gamboge, and other worthless ingredients. The damage they do to the stomachs of those who use them is incalculable. They evacuate the bowels, it is true, but always do so violently and profusely, and besides, gripe the bowels. Their effect is to weaken both them and the stomach. Bettor far to use the agreeable and salutary aperient, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the laxative effect of which is never preceded by pain, or accompanied by a convulsive, violent action of the bowels On the contrary, it invigorates those organs, the stomach and the entire system. As a means of curing and preventing malarial fevers, no medicine can compare with it. and it remedies nervous debility, rheumatism, kidney and bladder inactivity, and other inorganic ailments. Telegraph Operators Rapid Writers. During the great Boston fire an operator in New York received 248 - messages between 7 o’clock and noon, and sent 216 during the afternoon of the same day. The messages, including the addresses, signatures, date lines and “checks,” averaged thirty words. Thus during the five hours he was wielding the pen he copied over 7,500 words, or 1,500 words an hour. Every Woman Knows Them. Die human body is much like a good clock or watch in its movements; if one goes too slow or too fast, so follow all the others, and bad time results; if one organ or set of organs works imperfectly, perversion of functional effort of all the organs is sure to follow. Hence it is that the numerous ailments which make woman’s life miserable are the direct issue of the abnormal action of the uterine system. For all that numerous class of symptoms—and every woman knows them—there is one unfailing remedy,-Dr. Bierce's “Favorite I’reecription,” the favorite of the sex. • The grumbler who occasionally finds himself at a loss for something to kick about is advised to purchase a foot-ball. A Strong Endowment Is conferred upon that magnificent institution, the human system, by Dr. Pierce’s “Golden Medical Discovery,” that fortifies it against the encroachments of disease. It is the great blood purifier and alterative, and as a remedy for consumption, bronchitis, and all diseases of a wasting nature, its influence is rapid, efficacious, and permanent Sold everywhere. "Love is a beautiful blossom, ” affirms a line from a rejected contribution. Sort of a passion flower, we suppose. Interesting Reading.

BI TELEGRAPH, i 1 •w--.—-—a-—-—-—--—i 1 THE NEWS CONDENSED, 1 THE EAST. The Marquis de Mores publishes in New 1 York a prospectus of his Co-operative 1 Meat Supply Company, and offers stock in i the enterprise to laboring men. The capi- 1 tai stock is $10,000,000 divided into $lO shares, payable in five monthly installments ; of $2 each. Basing the calculation on the i assertion that an average family eats five j pounds of meat daily, he figures for the ] holder of one share a daily profit of 5 . cents, or at least $18.25 a year, and a cash ; dividend besides of 21 per cent., or $2.10 a year. He estimates that $2,500,000 is necessary to start a business of twenty-five ; car loads daily.... Carl Schurz slipped and ( fell in New York City and dislocated Lis hip.... Gen. B. F. Butler dislocated an arm in alighting from a car in Philadelphia. ... .Six lads walking on the railroad track near Easton, Pa., were killed by a coal train. Mrs. Roxalana Druse, who murdered her husband, beheaded him, and boiled the remains, was hanged at Herkimer, N. Y. At the last moment she shrieked in a fearful manner, but death was almor instantaneous. The Druse family consisted of Mr. William Druse, a fanner of moderate means, his wife, Roxalana, her daughter, a son named George, and a nephew named Frank Gates. Dec. 18, 1884, Druse asked the boy Gates to get up and build the fire, which he did, Mrs. Druse and her daughter arising at the same time. Alter breakfast Mrs. Druse sent George, her son, out of the house, and then calling the nephew handed him a revolver and told him to shoot Druse or she would shoot him. The boy then fired at Druse, and the woman, snatching the pistol from him, fired at her husband until it was empty. She then took an ax and pounded him on the head, afterward decapitating the body. The boy and George Druse were then compelled to build a large fire in Loth stoves and were set on watch at the windows while the body was being burned. The flesh, after being boiled and burned off the bones, ■was given to the hogs. The boy stated that the next morning all he saw of Druse’s body was a large bone, and even that was eventually placed in the stove by the daughter Mary. The ashes and few remains were then put into a bag and a tin box and thrown into a neighboring swamp, the ax and pistol being consigned to a pond, where they were afterward found. The daughter, Mary, is in the penitentiary on a life sentence. The boys Were acquitted on account of their tender age. Fire at the Morgan Line steamship pier 1 at New York destroyed 4,000 bales of cotI ton and the steamer Lone Star, the total loss being about $400,000. THE WEST. An engine on the Chicago and Eastern ! Illinois Road, when passing Taylor street, Chicago, exploded with a deafening crash, and Engineer Gus Weinzer and Fireman Clarence Lowe were, with the locomotive, literally blown to pieces. The two unfortunate men were blown hundreds of feet in ; opposite directions, and their bodies, when j found, were absolutely unrecognizable. The cause of the disaster is supposed to ! have been a too high pressure of steam. I An Atlantic and Pacific passenger train went through a bridge near Needles, Cal. I The engine, baggage, mail, and express . cars caught fire and were consumed. E. L. Gilbert, a brakeman, was burned to death, I as were also two Indians and one tramp. The engineer, E. J. Hodgdon, is not ex- | pected to live. E. L. Peppin, the mail agent, and J. K. Dickinson i are seriously hurt. Dr. M. J. Chase, lof Galesburg, 111., was burned about the head. W. Marsh, of Quincy, ; 111., had his leg hurt. Very little express, ; baggage, or mail was saved... .A Bismarck j (D. T.) dispatch reports Representative i Ely, of the committee which went to Mon- . fana to confer with Montana legislators I about pleuro-pneumonia, as saying that the j cattle losses between Miles City and Bill- ; ings will be 10 to 25 per cent., and east of Billings 50 to 75 per cent. The losses around Fort Benton are very heavy. At Cleveland, 0., the Rev. Rollo Ogden, pastor of a fashionable church, has resigned because he “could no longer assent ; to the doctrinal standard of the Presbyterian Church.”.... Samuel E. Perkins, of ' Indianapolis, was recently sent to jail by a Federal commissioner for refusing to testify regarding an election conspiracy. Judge 5 Gresham decided that changing the vote i for county officers does not impair (he vote I for Congressman on the same tally-sheet. Perkins was therefore set free for lack of jurisdiction. Chicago elevators contain 13,071,385 bushels of wheat, 5,571,135 bushels of corn, 1,047,995 bushels of oats, 159,916 bushels ' of rye, and 212,320 bushels of barley, making a grand total of 20,008,751 bushels, against 18,149,496 bushels at this period last year... . A county-seat fight at CoronI ado, Kan., has resulted in three deaths, ! and four persons are likely to die from their wounds. THE SOUTH. Beulah May Moore, aged 17, shot and killed Henry Allen, aged 50, at Memphis, Tenn., sending five bullets into his body. Miss Moore’s father emptied the contents of a double-barreled shot gun into Allen’s body as he lay writhing in death. The young woman, who will soon become a mother, alleges that Moore outraged her last June. An Indianola (Texas) dispatch says the Southern Pacific Company is about to remove its track from Indianola to Port Lavaca, a small village ten miles above on the Matagorda Bay. This means a total abandonment of Indianola on account of the disastrous storms which have swept over the town during the last twelve years. During that period 400 persons have been drowned and enormous damage has been done to property. The steamer W. H. Gardner was burned on the Tombigbee River, near Gainesville, Ala. Twenty persons lost their lives. POLITICAL. James M. Trotter whom the President has appointed Recorder of Deeds in the District of Columbia in place of James C. Matthews, who was twice rejected, is 48 years old. His early life was spent in the State of Ohio, where he began his education in the public schools. For the last thirty-five years he has resided in Massachusetts, where, prior to the war, he was a teacher. He enlisted as a private in the 55th Massachusetts regiment of colored troops, and was promoted for acts of bravery on the battlefield until he became a Lieutenant. Upon his return to civil life be was appointed and filled for eighteen years the position of assistant superintendent of the registered letter dei partment in the Boston Postoffice. From [ this position he was retired in 1884 on aci count, it is said, of his independence in ; politics and his avowed purpose of sup--1 porting President Cleveland. During the ; campaign of 1884 he was appointed one of . the secretaries of the “committee of one hundred” of Boston, and was active in support of the nominees of the Democratic 1 party. He is the author of a volume entitled, “Music and Musical People of the ’ Colored Racc.”... D. B. Lucas, one of the Democratic legislators of West Vir--1 ginia who opposed Camden, has been appointed United States Senator.

The Michigan Democratic State Convention met in Detroit on the Ist inst.

Camp; for Regents of the University, Bartley Breen and Rufus W. Sprague. The Michigan Greenback State Convention convened at Lansing on the Ist inst., and made these nominations: For Supreme Court Justice (short term), O’Brien J.

WASHINGTON. Mr. Montgomery, Commissioner of Patents, has tendered his resignation to the President, giving as a reason that he desires to return to the practice of his profession. T. S.

NOTES. P. D. Armour, of Chicago, stated a. Galveston, Tex., that a company, with a capital of several millions, will be organized in Chicago for the ] tirpose of constructing in the South twelve gigantic cotton-seed oil-mills, the output of which will be used in the stockholders’ factories and lard-render.ng establishments, and that Mr. Armour and his partners wiil hold a controlling interest in the new organization. . . .Western coal operators, at a meeting at Pittsburgh, decided that for the coming year the price of coal for Western shipment be advanced to $1.11). A Milwaukee dispatch of Wednesday says: “All the compositors employed on the three English daily papers, and all those in the job offices with one exception 250 printers in number—struck yesterday for an increase of five cents. The newspaper publishers have signed an agreement pledging themselves to stand by each other and by the new men they employ. They have made arrangements for a new force of men with the Printers' Protective Fraternity and expect to have an adequate number before the end of the week. That organization admits to membershp all non-union men employed in printing offices. The result of the strike will probably be to break up for the present the Typographical Union here, which for years past has controlled most of the printing establishments of the city.”

A jury at Dublin disagr ed as to the guilt of Dillon, O’Brien, and others connected with the plan of campaign. Active preparations for war are being made in France, and it is regarded as probable, should the present Ministry remain in power a fortnight more, that there will be an open declaration of hostilities. The feeling is, however, that Gen. Boulanger will be out of the Ministry within the next two weeks. German preparations are not so apparent, but the concentration of troops at Metz, Strasburg, Menlz, and Coblentz goes steadily 0n... .The trial of the 110-ton gun, the most powerful piece of ordnance ever fired in England, has taken place successfully at the Government butts, Woolwich.

Nellie Grant’s Love Story. “Nellie Grant,” as the country called her, had been sent abroad by her mother to take her out of the way of half-grown admirers; she had never worn a long gown in her life till she arrived in England, but as the 1 resident’s daughter she was the object ot a very natural attention. Mr. Horie, the recent Secretary of tho Navy, was going to Europe with his wife, and Mrs. Grant asked Mrs. i’orietotake Nellie with her. It xvas a great favor on Mrs. Borie’s part, but she was happy io consent. She thought, however, that she was to take a school girl, and she found she had a half-fledged princess on her hands. She did not want to go to Buckingham Palace, and asked if the daughters of the Minister could not accompany Miss Grant. But the Queen had not/invited these young ladies, and they could not suggest themselves. Then Mrs. L’orie had no gown to wear to court, but this difficulty was overcome, and she wont to the palace like a lady “in attendance” on tho little girl sho had expected to chaperone. I gave Mademoiselle a garden party while she was in London and xvas delighted with her ease and self-posses-sion. She stood by my side and smiled with democratic grace on Duchesses and Marchionesses as they made her the same courtesy they made to royalty; the higher their own rank the more profound tho prostration they performed. (>n the return voyage tho young lady met her fate. Mr. and Mrs. Borie were both ill and kept their state-rooms, while Miss Nellie remained on deck. There she fell in with a young Englishman, and before they reached America the mischief had been done that she was sent to Europe to avoid. “Nellie Grant” was engaged—and to an Englishman. Sartoris told me how he asked General Grant for the young lady’s hand. W ith all tho awe of an Englishman for the head of a state, he was invited to dinner at the W hite House, knowing what was expected of him. After dinner tho President led the xvay to tho billiard-room and offered him a cigar. “Then,” said Sartoris, "I knew my time had come. I waited and hoped tho President would help me, but not a word did he say. He sat silent, looking at me. 1 hesitated and fidgeted and coughed, and thought I should sink through the floor. Finally I exclaimed, in desperation' “Mr. President, 1 want , to marry your daughter.” It took a bold man to say that to , General Grant, but doubtless thoboldness recommended him, for Sartoris carried away the prize. — General Bad- i fit 11. * * * * Premature declim of power in either sex. however induced, speedily and permanent!v cured.
