LATEST DISPATCHES. PASTORS’TROUBLES. The Women Were with Him. Great excitement prevailed at the meeting of the First Unitarian Society, at Hartford, Conn., an* attempt being made to oust the pastor, the Rev. J. C. Kimball, for his sympathy with the Chicago anarchists. The women supported Mr. Kimball, and a resolution asking for his resignation was defeated. Asked to Resign. Dr. D. C. Kelley, of Nashville, Tenn., an eminent divine, and member of the North Alabama Conference of the Southern Methodist Church, was, at their meeting, at Tuscaloosa, Ala., the other day, asked to resign bis position as Missionary Treasurer of the General Conference, on account of his utterances in reference to the Emma Abbott episode, lie commended the lady for rising in a church to defend herself against a minister's strictures on .theaters. ATTACKED BY A PANTHER. Terrible Fight with a Ferocious FelineTrainmen Seriously Wounded. A SPECIAL telegram from Omaha, Neb., reports that— Engineer Markham and his fireman had a thrilling' experience with a panther on the Burlington and Missouri River Road, between Minden and Artell. The train was a long one, and heavily laden, and between the two places named the engine slipped an eccentric and came to a standstill. Markham and the fireman got out to set matters right. They had about completed the job when both heard a yell that made their blood run cold, and before cither could turn a large panther sprung upon the engineer and buried his claws in his shoul. der. The fireman had a heavy wrench in his hanu, and with this struck the brute on the head. This partially stunned him, and ho loosened his hold on the engineer, but before the men could take advantage of tho situation the panther made a leap for the tireman, and lacerated with one of his claws his left hip. Engineer Markham by this time had drawn his revolver and shot the brute between the eyes, killing him instantly. Both men were badly hurt and will be laid up for some time. Tho panther measured nearly six feet from his no e to the end of his tail, and weighed nearly 200 pounds. THERE IS NO AID FOR GREVY. M. Brisaou Tells the President that the Crisis Appears to Be Without Remedy. M. Brisson had a conference with President Grevy at Paris and told him that the crisis iu relation to the Presidency appeared to be without a remedy. The President asked the reason of this. Brisson replied that it would be painful to explain. The reason was universally apparent. He reminded M. Grevy that at an independent meeting on Sunday he had maintained that nobody yas entitled to demand that the President resign. He was still of the same opinion. The President alone, added M. Brisson, was entitled to raise the question. OHIO. Official Vote of the Buckeye State. The totfd vote cast in Ohio in 1885 was 733,966, in 1886 it was 704,233. This year the total vote reached the very large figure of 744,568, which is a large increase. The totals on the Governor are as follows: Foraker, Republican, 356,037; Powell, Democrat, 333,205; Seitz, Labor, 24,712; Sharp, Prohibition, 29,700;- scattering, 11. Total, 744,568. Foraker over Powell, 23,732. This is a s’ight increase for the Prohibitionists over 1885, when Leonard had 28,081. HERR MOST OxN TRIAL. He Is Brusquely Reminded of Court-Room Proprieties. Johann Most, the anarchist, was placed on trial in the Court of General Sessions at New York, Wednesday, on a charge of inciting violence by an inflammatory speech. Having been admitted to bail, he entered the court-room without the escort of policemen. He kept his hat on after entering until one of the court officers brusquely took it off his head. Booth and Barrett to Visit England. Lawrence Barrett, the tragedian, said to a Pittsburg reporter that a trip to England with Mr. Booth was contemplated, but that the visit would be very brief. Regarding the rumor that the two tragedians would erect a theater in New York for the exclusive production of the legitimate drama, Mr. Barrett said: ‘‘lt is true. We I have in contemplation the erection of a metropolitan theater, although not exchi- j sively for the legitimate drama. It will be at least two years before the scheme can be j consummated, but when it is all sorts of ! pure and meritorious works will be produced.” Lismarck and the Czar. A St. Petersburg dispatch says: “It is not considered in political circles here that the interview'befween Prince Bismarck at Berlin v, ill lead to a modification c the policy of either Russia or Germany. It is believed, I however, that it may contribute to the main- | teuanee and strengthening of the friendship I between the two empires, provided bolh respect mutual political independence, and both are desirous to maintain peace.” Poverty-Stricken and a Mental Wreck. Ex-SenaTor Charles F. Jones, of Florida, is reported in financial distress at Detroit. He has been turned out of hotels ’ and restaurants, but has been taken in charge by a friend who will give him shelter for the present. It is said that he is a mental wreck. EAST. The Supreme Court of New York State has refused to admit Hong Yan Chang, a young Chinaman, to the bar on the ground that he is not a citizen. He had previously been refused naturalization because he was a Chinese subject. The young man is a graduate of Yale and Columbia law schools. A Review of the fisheries business for the last year at Gloucester, Mass., shows that seventeen vessels have been lost, with 127 men, sixty of whom leave widows and fatherless children. A woman named Mirande and her 12-year-old daughter, who, it is thought, are afflicted with leprosy, have been placed in the hospital for contagious diseases at Philadelphia. The mother presents the hideous appearance of a leper, but she attributes the illness from which she is suffering to her eating of a poisonous Brazilian plant. WEST. Barnum & Bailey’s winter quarters at Bridgeport, Conn., caught fire, and in half an hour the main building, containing nearly the whole outfit of the greatest show on earth, was reduced to ashec, involving a loss of nearly $1,000,000. The fire originated in the north end of the

building, says a Br Igeport telegram, and is supposed to have caught from the explosion of a watchman’s lantern in the room where horses are trained for the ring. This apartment was tilled with light material for bedding' iu the stables. In less than five minutes' time, mid before the.doors to tho animal room could be opened, tho boat was too grout to approach the building at the south end. The elephants wore the first o’ tho animals to sound the alarm, and their roars could be heard two blocks awav. Each one of these groat nuimals was chained to a separate post, and it was impossible for them to break loose. The lions then began to roar, and thoir bellowings were terrific, as tho flames over their heads gained headway, and lire began to drop through tho floor. Tho boss animal-keeper, with four workmen, broke in tho south door and liberated thirty elephants, taking them to an open lot. The frightened beasts formed iu line, and, breaking down tho high gate, marched to the street of thoir own accord. They then started otl toward Black Rock as fast as elephants can move. Tho only other animals saved were three lions and one hippopotamus. Tho latter broke out and rushed through the crowd of spectators. The poor animal had been liberated from his cage by the Haines, but not until the cage timbers had burned away did ho get out. The flesh dropped oft in great patches as he ran, and the sight was horrible to witness. Tbe loss will reach nearly 51,0dd,0,0. A Lansing (Mich.) special says: “The citizens of Leslie, in this county, believe they have among them the hangman of tbe Chicago anarchists. He has always boon a reputable citizen, but his connection with the matter leaked out by accident, and his mysterious visits to other States are now believed to have been made for the purpose of assisting some guilty brother in leaving the world. He is believed to be a professional hangman, and his neighbors and former associates shun him as they would a leper.” A TERRIBLE wreck occurred on the Cairo, Vincennes and Chicago Line, near Vienna, 111. Daniel Collard, Frank Bartoffi, engineers, Dick Walker, brakeman, and a fireman named Schaffer were killed. Two or three others are reported wounded. The engines were a total wreck, together with a number of cars. A Butler (Mo.) special says: “John Redford is a wealthy farmer, and suffers from defective hearing. Early Sunday evening Simon A. Waddell, of Princeton, 111., who is visiting his brother, noticed Redford's house on fire. He lushed up to the door and endeavored to rouse the inmates, but failed. 'Then he forced the door in, and as he stepped into the hall was shot to death by Redford, who mistook him for a robber. Neighbors gathered, but too late to save the house, as it was burned to the ground. Redford is over 79 years old, and it is feared that his mind has been permanently wrecked by his mistake.” The telephone war in Indiana shows no signs of abating. SOUTH. The most disastrous fire that ever visited Memphis, Tenn., occurred Thursday, and resulted iu the complete destruction of 13,200 bales of cotton and compresses Nos. 4 ami 5 of the Merchants’ Cotton Compress and Storage Company. About fortj' cars belonging to the Chesapeake and Ohio and Southwestern Railroads, which were loaded with cotton ready to be shipped East, were also burned, together with their contents. The cotton destroyed was principally for export. It was valued at $639,000. The loss on other property will reach $170,000. In the vicinity of Hope, Ark., and in the hills and bottoms of the Red and Sulphur Rivers, forest fires are raging. Many farm-houses and out-buildings have been destroyed, and numbers of hogs and cattle have been burned to death. At Little Rock the smoke is almost suffocating, and unless Tain speedily falls tho losses throughout tbe State will be very heavy. A BLOODY battle took place between whites and blacks, at Jellico, Ky., in which three ■ were killed and a number i wounded. Whisky was the cause of the ' fight. The forest fires in Tennessee, Arkansas and Missusi] pi have n t been cheeked. A number of gin-houses have been burned and railway trestles destroyed. Owing to the dense smoke, steamers cannot run at night. The loss to farmers and planters is very heavy. WASHINGTON. The following is the text of the President’s letter to Commissioner Sparks accepting his resignation: Executive Mansion, i Washington, Nov. 15, 1887. > The Hon. William A. J. Sparks : Mr Dear Sir—l have rend your letter of resignation left with me to day, and also the communication addressed bv you to tho Secretary of the Interior, accompanying the same. In the present situation I do not feel called upon to determine the merits of the controversy which has arisen between the Secretary and yourself, further than to say that my impres- | sions touching the “legal questions involved in- I cline me to rely, as I naturally would do, even if 1 had no Impressions of my own, upon the judgment of the Secretary. It presents a case of interpretation where two perfectly honest men may well differ. Ihe interest you have shown in tho operatio :s of the Land Department, and your zealous endeavor to save i and protect the public hinds for settlers in gixvl ' faith, induce me to believe that you will bo pleased to receive the assurance that this policy, upon which we are all agreed, will continue to be steadfastly pursued, limited and controlled, however, by the law aud the judgment of the courts, by which we may be at times unwillingly restrained, but which we cannot and ought not to resist. I desire to heartily acknowledge the value of | your services in the improved administration lof the Land Department which lias been ! reached, and to assure you of my appreciation ; of tho rugged ami unyielding integrity which I has characterized your official conduct. I am constrained to accept the resignation you tenl der, with assurances of my continued kindiv 1 feeling toward you, and with the earnest wish that wherever your future way of life may lead complete success and satisfaction may await., you. Thanking you for the pleasing aud complimentary expressions with which you close your letter, I am, yours very truly, Grover'Cleveland. Speaker Carlisle thinks that the revenue would bear a reduction of $70,900,000. He proposes a compromise measi ure cutting down the customs duties to the ! extent of $50,000,000 and the internal revenue to the extent of $20,000,009. The latter reduction he would accomplish by removing the tax on manufactured tobacco. Superintendent Fox, of the United States Mint, says that not only is the de- ’ maud being kept up for small or minor I coin, "but that the banks are now wanting i gold dollars. They are also demanding new quarter and half-dollars pieces. The Superintendent states that by Jan. 1 he will have coined as many gold dollars as bethought advisable lor the present. When asked how many, he replied: “Less than 10,000. Ido not think I will exceed that amount.” POLITICS. There is a movement on foot, says a Washington special, “to secure the National Republican convention for New York, on the ground that it would be beneficial to the party in that State as well as in Connecticut and New Jersey. But the motive, kept in the background of course, is antiBlaine. His opponents, knowing thatjiis greatest strength is in the West, and that the New York City Republicans and mugwumps are violently bitter against him, think local influence will have a powerful effect upon the convention. Correspondence with members of the National Com- ' mittee is now very active.” LABOR. At tbe Missouri State Convention of the United Labor party, at Kansas City, a resolution favoring tLe adoption of tbe Syracuse platform was offered aud strongly opposed, several delegates advocating the adoption of the Cincinnati p’a'tform of the United Labor party. The debate resulted in the adoption of a series of Jesolutions, indoisiug t: e freesoil platform of 1852, ’ a’oring a single tax on land vaiue-, and declaring that “all such ttiohopolie-s as have been built up by

the assistance of the Government through the grant of special privileges, aud all necessary enterprises exceeding the ; ' power of individual ability, should > be owned and controlled by tho Gov- | ernment, as the jiostal system now is.” i The resolutions also declare in favor of the ! Australian system of voting. Resolut ous were also adopted, providing for a confer- I euce between the State Executive Commit- i tee of Missouri and that of New York, and such other States as ard organized, for the purpose of arranging for the call for a national conference of tho United I abor party. St. Louis was recommended as tho best location for the national convention. Plans were adopted for n thorough organization throughout Missouri. FOREIGN. The Czar of Russia received a royal welcome al Berlin. His visit 'is said to • I have been merely an act of courtesy, but in all probability it was made for some more serious purpose. In tho Chamber of Deputies the Ministry was defeated on a motion to postpone debate on its domestic policy by a vote of 328 to 212. Prime Minister Bouvier immediately announced that the members of the Cabinet would resign, aud their resignations wore subsequently presented to and accepted by tho President. Speaking of the clamors for his own resignation, President Grevy says that if it should occur at the present time it would establish a mischievous precedent because it would bind his successors to resign whenever public opinion should happen to be against them. GENERAL. An aeoroJito weighing three tons fell in the street in front of tbe Merchants’ National Bank at Amsterdam, N. Y„ about noon of Friday, creating iho greatest excitement. A deep indentation was made by tho visitor from on high, in whose mass experts have found traces of iron, nickel, aluminum, and other metals. L’he Dutch steamer W. A. Scholten, bound from Rotterdam for New York, was sunk by a collision with the steamer Rosa Mary, ten milts off Dover, England. A London dispatch gives the following particulars of the disaster: Tho Scholten carried a complement of 210 passougors and crew. The steamer Ebro of Sunderland rescued ninety persona and landed them at the Sailors Home, Dover. Ono passenger and a child ot tho party brought to Dover were found dead from exposure. This leaves 122 lost and niiaaing. It is hoped that passing vessels have rescued the missing ones. At tho time ot the accident a dense fog prevailed. The Scholten was struck on the port bow by tho Kosa Mary. Immediately al tor the v hock wns felt the Scholten's i nssengers, all o[ win in had retired for tho night, rushed on deck in their night gowns, l lio boats were promptly ordered to bo lowered, but it was found that only two wore available. The three others were useless, and were not lowered. The (water rushed swiftly through a holo in the bow, and a terrible scene ensued. Iho panic-stricken passengers uttered piercing shrieks, and | many fell upon their knees un i prayed aloud. Little children clung to their mothers, who themselves wore shrieking with terror. Thu officers wore cool and »clfpossossed, and remained on the bridge to the in t. Several persons procured life belts and leaped into the son. Within twenty minutes of tho shock the Scholten was ingulfed. All those who had put on life belts floated and were rescued by the boats from tho steamer Ebro, which cruised around until 4 o'clock in tho morning. Many of the rescued lost wives, husbands, brothers and sisterr. Tho survivors were supplied with clothes, and everything possible was done to insure tli«2r , oomfort. But eighty persons nre known to l ave f been saved from the wreck of tho steamer Scholten in tbe British Channel. (’no of the survivors states that there were eight hundred life-belts on board. Imt that they were useless in a majority of cases because ■ the people were ingulfed with the ship. The general impression is that the it sponsi- j bility for the disaster rests with tho officers I I of tho steamer Rosa Mary. The Supreme Court of Washin- ton Territory has granted an injunction restraining the Northern Pacific Railway Company from illegally cutting timber on public lands. Tbe I nited States Attorney for tee Territory says the result of this decision will be the recovery of about sloo,oii9 in trespass suits now pending against tbe company. Tin: Executive Committee of the National Grange, in session at Lansing. Mich., reported $1,553 ( tided during the pa«t year for lecture. . and recom- । mended tbe establishment of a permanent headquarters at Washington, where records, etc., could be kept. It also favored changes in the patent laws. THE ANARCHISTS. Hei;i: Most, the editor of I'reUuit, says a New York dispatch, was arrested by the police on Thursday last on an indictment I by the Grand Jury for making an incendiary speech calculated to incite not. Most was found sitting nt his tabic in his office. He protested that he bad done nothing to be arrested for, and bis wild-eyed com- i I positors screamed with ragd, but Most was taken away just the same. His assistant editor, Julian Schultz, accompanied i the officers and their prisoner to th? District Attorney’s office. Most protested t > the District Attorney that be had done nothing to warrant his indictment, and swore that be was being persecuted by the minions of the law, bounded on iy tho hirelings of a capitalistic press, but his ravings were not listened to, and he was i bustled otl to police headquarters. lie was : taken in by th? back door and put in one i of tbe cells in tl e basement. Johann Mo st has been released from' i custody under $1,5(0 bail. Bail was fur- | isbed by a woman named Ida Hoffman, who took pains to explain that she was au anarchist. MARKET REPORTS.

AN ENGLISHMAN INSULTED. The Difficulty of Kooting: Up Prejudices learned at the Mother’s I’nre. Ouo bright June morning, some years ago, a party ot traveling men were gazing out upon one ot the most charming landßuapoa 111 the busquehanna Valiey. In tho party was au English gentleman, whoso prejudices wore stirred by the laudatory tone of tho couveruatiou. He grew rustless, and exclaimed; “This may seem to you rawthor a pretty Beene, but if you want to sea realty beautiful scenery, you must go to England, where the air is softer, the grass greener, and the Howers more fragrant than here.” As ho finished, one of the parly, whose ancestors were of good old revolutionary Yaukeo stock, turuud to him, and, with more candor than politeness, said: “My frien I, 111 chililliood, at my mother’s knee, 1 was taught three things: Firs , to revere the gloat Oreatpr; second, to love the stars and igripes; ami, third, to hate a Briiisher. This is one of the many occasions when 1 fully realize the beneficial nitluonecH of early training. ” Among the obstacles that obstruct a man’s upward progress in this world are tho prejudices whteli, planted in tho character-forming period of early youth, he lin Ih have become firmly fixed in his maturer nature. It is difficult to root them out. Men may battle as they wil’; they can seldom entirely overcome thoir u,u.y impression<.

Do you doubt it? 800, as may now frequently Im seen, physiciaup of <1 fTerent schools joining in consultation over thoir patients. Seo eminent members of the medical profession, like Dr. Robson, of London, mi l Dr. Gunn, of tho Medical College of Nw York, publicly reconimei ding a proprietary medicine, like Warner’s safe cure, tho onlv sure speeitic for kidney disorders and the many diseases caused by such disorders, and their views attested by hundreds of regular practitioners of various hc'ioola Noto the fact, too, that iho leading clergy men, like Rev. Dr. Rankin, ex Chaplain of tho United States Senate, and K v. Dr. Ken driek, of tho Rochester Universitv, one of the international revisers of the New Testa niont, and thousands less well-known, publicly recommend this remedy, because it not only cures kidnev diseases, but tho many common-named diseases caused directly by them. When medical mon and nun sters unite in such a course, who can doubt that intolerance has ceased to rule iu the learned professions at least? Tile Pirate •’ B it kbear I.” In “ Blackbeard ’’ we have a real, ranting, raging, roaring pirate per se —one who really did Bury treasure, who made more than one captain walk the plank, and who committed more private murders than he could number on the fingers of both hand'-; one who tills, and will continue to till, the place to which he has been assigned for generations, and who may bo depended upon to hold his place in the confidence of others for generations to come. Captain Teach was a Bristol man born, and learned his trade on Board of sundry privateers in the I ast Indies during the old I rench war that of 1702 ami a better apprenticeship could no man serve. \t last, somewhere about the latter part of the your 17l»L a privateering captain, one Benjamin Hornigold, raised him from the ranks and put him in command of a sloop a lately captured prize and BlackbearTs fortune was made. It was a very slight step, and but the change of a few letters, to convert “privateer” i into “pirate.” and it was a very short time iiofore Teach made that change. I Not only did he make it himself, but he persuaded his old captain to join w.th n.m

And now fairly began that sm ie* of l>old and lawless depredations winch have made his name bo justly famonn, and which placed him among the very greatest of marooning freebooters. “Our hero,” says the old historian ! who sings of the arms and bravery of this great man “Our hero assumed the cognomen of Blackboard from that ! large quantity of hair which, like a frightful meteor, covered his whole face, and frightened America more than any comet that, appeared there in a , long time. lit was accustomed to twist , it with ribbons into small tails, after [ the manner of our I ianullies wig. and turn them about his ears.

A liiml Yok“. There is no power of love so hard to get and keep as a kind voice. A kind hand is deaf and dumb. It may be rough in ib sh and blood, yet do the । work of a soft heart and do it with a soft touch. But there is no one thing that love so much needs as a sweet voice to tell what it means and feels; \ and it is hard to get and keep it in the ; right tone. One must start in youth, and be on the watch night and day, at | work and play, to get and keep a voice that shall speak at all times the j thoughts of a kind heart. It is often in youth that one gets a voice or a tone that is sharp, and sticks to him ' through life, and stirs up ill-will and grief, and falls Ike a drop of gall on the sweet joys of homo Watch it day by day as a pearl of great price, for it will be worth more to you in days to come than the best pearl hid in the i sea. A kind word is to the heart i what light is to the eye. It is a light : that sings as well as shines.— J'.lilm i Burrilt. A story is told of a lazy Nantucket I shopkeeper who was not incline 1 to I give up his personal comfort or ease. I Whenever he saw a customer enter the i front door he would call out from his chair: “Well, what is it? what is it? Because, perhaps I haven’t got it.” On J one occasion a customer wished to buy a pail, of which there was a line hangI ing from the ceiling, and inquired the । price. The shopkeeper, without got- । ting out of his chair, designated the j price with his foot, saying, “That is 50 ! cents; that is 021 cents,” etc. “Well,” : said the customer, “I will take one of j those,” pointing to the pail he wished Ito buy. The storekeeper did not stir, and a wave of distress seemed to be passing over him. Presently, with an air of great perplexity, he skid: “No, I won’t sell it, for I shall only have to buy another.” — Boston Traveller.

A Living Electric Battery. The Pittsburg riniC'i thus describes electrical experiments practiced on a singular fish: “Dr. Walsh’s method was to place a living torpedo on a wet towel; from a plate ho suspended two 1 pieces of brass wire bv means of silken cord, which served to insulate them. Bound tho torpedo were eight poisons standing on insulating substances. Ono end of the brass wire was supported by the wot towel, tho other end being placed in a basin full ci water. The first person had a linger of ouo h ind in this basin and a finger of the otl er hand in a second basin, also full ot water. The second person placed a lingef of one hand in this second basin and a finger of the other in a third bas'n. The third person did Iho same, and so on unt I a complete chain I was established between tho eight * persons and nine basins. Into the ninth basin the cud of the second brass wire was plunged, while Dr. , Walsh applied the other end to the back of the torpedo, thin establishing a complete conducted circle. At the moment when the oxperimentor touched the torpedo tho eight actors in tho experiment felt a sudden shock, similar in all respects to that communicated bv the shock of a Leyden jar, only less intense. The tor pedo was then placed upon an insulated 1 supporter and communicated to twenty persons similarly phi cd from forty to fifty shock-) in a minute and a half, hlach effort made by tho fish was meonipanied by a depression of theevts, which were slightly projecting in their natural state, and : cenied to bo drawn within their orbits, while the other parts of tho bodv romaine I immovable. If only one of the two organs was touched, in place of a strong and sudden shock only a slight Hcnsation was ! experienced —a numbness rather than a shock. Tho same result Io 1 lowed with every experiment tried. The fish was tried with a non-conducting rod and no shock followed; glass or a t ord covered with wax produces no effect; ; touched with metallic wire a violent shock followed. A Boston physician, > in making experiments with a powerful fish, was several times completely floored, ami when at a distance of twelve feet he struck a fish with a gig the shock was so powerful that he could not release his hold.

It is on record that a < lergyman re prated the same .sermon so frequent!} that some members of his congregation complained to the bishop, who ac ord ingly remonstrated with the parson. । He replied, unhesitatingly: "Well, my । lord, it is quite true that I do preach the same sermon very frequently, but, j looking to the barren results, I feel perfectly warranted in doing so.” \s i this explanation was not considered ■quite satisfactory, the bishop arranged lan interview at the palace with the I rector and two of his church wardens, who concurred in the complaint. After , referring to the object of the confer- ' once, the rector turned suddenly to one j of the church wardens and asked: "What was the text?” The church I warden, after considerable shuttling | and evasion, was unable to give it. Turning to the other intelligent functionary he askeo the same question, with a similar result, and finally appealed to the bishop as to whether lie was not fully justified in repeating the sermon in such extraordinary circumstance.— Living Uhurclt. An Able Protector. If there is a more able protector n^ninst the Incursions of disease than Hostetter „ Stomach Hitters, we have yet to learn of it. Against the periodic attacks of fever and ague it affords a sure defense, it renews waning vitality, and counteracts the infirmities of ago; it prevents dyspepsia from becoming chronic, and oveutu ally annihilates it. It rouses the liver and kidneys wh tn dormant, and insures a regular habit of body. To the nervous it is of inestimable benefit, imparting steadiness and vigor into an enfeebled physique. The term, “delicate health, ” is usually another name for de - bility. While the Bitters is procurable, the weak rjped never despair of physical reinforcement. I’ersons whose avocations are sedentary and laborious, or involve exposure to unfavorable climatic iiffluences, will also fmd the Bitters an able protector. Among tho recent mechanical arrangements brought forward in Germany is an improved construction of steam engine, the partici lav feature in this case consisting in the doing away with the dead center point. In carrying out this plan a block is secured to the p ston rod, this block being provided with a diagonal slot through which the crank-pin passes; the slot has concave edges facing each other, and is provided with a recess at each end. ’lhe slide valve is attached to a rod provided at the lower end with toppets, against which the ends of the sliding block strike, thus reciprocating the slide valve rod. The levers, from which the rods are suspended, are provided with spring arms for giving the desired degree of expansion.

Eyes Ears ^tose ; Are all more or less affect 1 by cat irrli The eyes become intlaiuod, red and witery, with dull, heavy, i pain between them; there are roaring, buzzing noises in the ears, and sometimes the hearing is affected; tho nose is a severe sufferer, with ils j cmfktant iineomfortaM; discharge, Lal breath, and loss of tbe s ps of smell.
