A special from Beaver, “No Man’s Land,” says that the Oklahoma Territorial Convention nominated O. G. Chase for delegate to Congress and put a full ticket for the Territorial Council in the field. The platform asks that “No Man’s Land” be placed under control of the State of Colorado until it perfects laws of its own, and calls upon Congress to drop political strife and legislate in the interest of “No Man's Land,” where it is badly needed. Benjamin E. Hopkins, assistant cashier of the defunct Fidelity Bank of Cincinnati, Ohio, now serving a term in the Columbus Penitentiary, is very sick with the dropsy, and has been in a comatose condition for several days. Efforts, so far unsuccessful, have been made to secure bis pardon, so that he may die at home. When the night express on the Fort Wayne Road which left Chicago for Pittsburg arrived at Alliance, Ohio, William Syms, the baggagemaster, was found dead in the express-car with a bullet wound in his head and a revolver lying by his side. The cause of the suicide is not known. He lived in Pittsburg. The Cincinnati Order of Cincinnatus | has sued for $25,000 damages for alleged j infringement of the rights of the order in

A Harrisburg (Pa.) special is as follows : Milton Weston, the Chicago millionaire who was serving a five-year sentence in the Western Penitentiary for contributory murder in causing the death of a man named Haymaker during a fight between the employes of the two MILTON WESTON. men over the possession of a piece of land in [ western Pennsylvania about four years ago, has been pardoned. In giving tneir reasons for the pardon the board review the case, going into many details of the trial. There was not. ing in the evidence to controvert the allegation of Weston that in all he did he believed he was conforming to the strict letter of the law in his eifor.s to maintain what he believed to be his rights. It was difficult, says the Board, to see wherein Weston was more guilty than others who were present and concerned with him. Westons pardon was strongly recommended by many prominent people, all of whom declared he was a law-abiding and peaceable citizen. Weston at once returned to his home in Chicago. EASTERN OCCURRENCES.

In portions of Ken- | tuckj heavy rams injured the tobacco apd

। corn crops probably to the extent of 15 I per cent., but the fruit crop has improved. , The weather conditions have also been fa- । vorable for wheat seeding throughout the j winter-wheat States as far south as Tennessee. The trade review of R. G. Dun & Co. for last week is as follows: The volume of legitimate business continues to improve. Crop reports are altogether favorable as to corn. The general average of prices has again declined slightly. The yield of wheat is 80,000,000 to 90,090,099 bushels short of a full crop. Official reports show that the money in i circulation of all kinds was about $1,381,000,000 ; Sept. 1, against $1,321,000,000 a year ago, and ! the Treasury has put out this month about I $2,200,000 more than it has taken in. besides I adding to circulation the amount of gold and silver coinage. For the last week the addition to circulation was $3,200,000. The preliminary statements for August show that the exports of breadstuffs, provisions, cattle, cotton, and oil were $8,577,338, smaller than for the same month last year, or 23 per cent. Wheat has been moderately active, with sales of 297,000,090 bushels, and only one-quarter cent advance in price, while corn has declined one and three-quarter cents, oats one-half a cent, and oils three-quarters of a cent. Pork products are higher, dressed hogs 10 cents and lard 50 cents per 100 pounds. Exports of wheat from this country for July and August amount to 18,590,009 bushels, flour included, against 35,750,(K0 bushels last year, and the supply remaining for expert is probably about 24,090,000 bushels greater than last year’s exports for the rest of the crop year.

When the battles of Worth and Forbach had been fought, disastrously to the French a iny, Marshal Bazaino took comm nd of Ihe main armies of the empire. On Aug. 14. 1870, he began a retreat from Mi tz, and fought and lost tb.e bloody buttles of Murs-in-Tour and Gravelotte before being forced back iut> Metz,. This stronghold was invested promptly by I’rince Frederick Charles, and 0:1 Oct. 2., 1870, Bazaine surrendered.

Gladstone’s Kindness. The following pretty incident of I Gladstone is related in one of our exchanges. About fifty years ago several haulers were employed iu carrying pig iron front Brymbo to Queen’s Ferry. Among the number was one William ; Griffiths, who is still alive. This man, ; when going down Tinkerdale one day ; with his load of iron, was accosted by a stranger, who talked very freely with 1 him. Among the questions, the stranj ger asked him how much per day he got ; for carrying the iron. “Six and sixpence,” said the carter. “What weight have you on the cart ?” “About a ton and a half.” “And what do you pay for gates?” “Eighteen pence.” “How much does it cost to keep the । mare?” “Thirteen shillings a week.” Presently they reached the foot of the mill hill. “How are you going to get this up hill?” asked the stranger. “Oh, I mum get my shuder and push । hup ’ere.” । “I’ll help you a bit,” said the stran--1 ger, and he at once put his shoulder to I the cart and pushed up the hill well. When they reached the top the hauler . said, “You an’ me ’as been as good as a chain ’orse.” “Well, well,” said the stranger, “I don’t know- how the poor horse’s legs ; are, but mine ache very much indeed, j I suppose you can manage now-.” “Yes, thank you,” said the hauler; and । wishing each other good day they separated. As soon as the stranger was gone a tradesman asked Griffiths if he knew who had been helping him. j “No.” said he, “I never seen ’im be- : fore.” “That was Mr. Gladstone,” said the tradesman. “Mr. Gladstone!” exclaimed the hauler, “I dunno what ’e ll think o’ me, then; for I never sir’d ’im nor nothin’. Sure I thought ’e was some farmer hor somethin’.” A Minneapolis Bible. “What a beautifully bound Bible!” said the new minister, calling on a Min- | neapolis family. 1 “Yes,” said the lady of the house, “my husband don’t do things iu any 1 plain-sheep manner. The best calf, ; with red morocco trimmings, ain’t none too good for us. He had this bound i especially for our own use.” “Ah! very good. Very good. By the ! way, let me call your particular attention to a passage of . Scripture this morning. Let me see. Why, what does this mean? This is an imperfect copy. The entire book of St. Paul is left out.” “Certainly; that is my husband’s idea.” “Your husband’s idea! Why that is । sacrilege.” “Oh, not at all. This is an age of reason. My husband is a strong Min- , ! neapolis man, and got this Bible up for i home reading in a Minneapolis family. : This St. Paul racket has been running a little too strong lately.” “Well, I’m amazed.“ “But we’re liberal. We’re charitable. We’ve been contributing a heap of money to the foreign missions lately, but hereafter we shall send it all to the St. Paul heathen.”— San FranciacQ Examiner,

The Home of the Beer. There are many reasons to believe that Southwest Georgia was a favorite hunting ground for the red aborigines of America. The Indian arrow-heads are found in almost every field in this region, and must have been points of arrows winged at game in the primeval forests. In the early settlement of this region game of all kinds was plentiful. Turkey and deer were especially numerous, and rewarded the skillful huntsman to his heart’s desire. The banks of the numerous picturesque streams that win 1 so gracefully through the counties of Southwest Georgia have been favorite hunting grounds from the earliest recollections of the oldest settlers. Palmyra, the once flourishing village on the banks of the Kinchafoonee, but now deserted and overturned by the plowshare of ruin, was peopled with men of historic names, men who sought a respite from business in the pleasant diversion of hunting. The inhabitants of that thriving village, in its early days, frequently shot wild turkeys from their yard inclosures, | and a walk of but a few minutes I through the forests or along the banks of the creek was all-sufficient to jump a deer. Albany itself counted many celebrated hunters among its early settlers, and the bones of the deer killed in Dougherty County, if all could be collected, would make a pyramid higher than that raised by Saladin of the bones of tho fallen crusaders. The deer went in herds like cattle, and it was nothing unusual for a party of hunters to bring into camp from a short drive four or five. Early in the ’so’s a party of Albany hunters struck 1 camp on the north edge of Worth County, and in their first drive surrounded a small ty-ty thicket, a short distance from camp, and put in the branch dogs. In less than thirty minutes seven dead deer were lying around the thicket. In conversation with Mr. Robert Atkinson, who moved on the “Gin Town” place iu 1881, the scribe heard him bemoan the fact that nearly all the deer had disappeared from the country since then. Mr. Atkinson said: “In the year I moved on Gin Town place I killed twenty-seven deer, but now it is a hard matter to make a jump. Occasionally we bring in one, but it’s a weary business compared to the hunting we enjoyed in the past.

Davenport, of Canarsie, New Yp.k, writes: I have been very much troubled with a violent pain below my chest bone. I was told by several physicians that it was rheumatism of tho diaphragm. It resulted from co! 1 and exposure. I had very little 1 appetite, and digested my food with great difficulty. I placed one Allcock’s 1 Porous Plaster below the breast bone and two on each side. In the course of i twenty four hours all pain ceased, and I was able to eat and digest a goo I square ■i meal, something I had not done before in two weeks. I got better constantly, end at the end of seven days found myself e-.tin ly well. Since then I have used Allcock s Poroi s Plasters for colds, S coughs, and pains in my side, and I have always found them quick and effective. The Rainbow Tree. A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun relates a well-authenticated story 1 of a “rainbow tree,” first seen by Capt. Kirby of the steamer Joppa, while i squirrel-hunting, not far from Cambridue, Md. W hen he came under this particular tree—a small gumtree—rain seemed to I be falling, and on close examination i he perceived that th;' tiny streams of j xvater were exuding from the branches and twigs. The tree, which was en- | tirely bare of leaves, and about ten j inches in diameter at the trunk, was thoroughly saturated, as was also the bed of decaying leaves and the i ground underneath it. He noticed ; also that the ground at the ■ spot where the tree stood was higher than anywhere around it. and ! that elsewh re the leaves were dry, no ■ rain having fallen in the neighborhood for a month. Leaving the tree a short i distance, so as to place it betxveen him- ! self and the sun, the sun’s rays reflected a beautiful rainbow through the mist. I Calling his companion, who was some distance away, they witnessed the j>he- ! nomenon together, and later others | went to the place and saw it.

K»F with Comfort and Be Happy. It is by no means uncertain, but, on the contrary, a -wen-ascertained fact, that upon tho ■well being of man's stomach depends that modicum of happiness which is vouchsafed to him in this world. Dyspepsia, the foe of all others to the stomach's tranquillity, and most to be dreaded, is a complaint to the preliminary relief and eventual cure of which Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is especially adapted. It enables those -who use it with a reasonable degree of persistence to eat with relish, because it imparts a healthful appetite ; to digest with case, because it ens the stomach; and to assimilate the food which is eaten and digested, thus benefiting health, promoting flesh and sustaining the exercise of the physical and mental faculties. It, morevor, facilitates the secretion of filthy bile, actuates without discomfort the habit o I the body, and tends, when taken upon retiring, to produce healthy slumber. Malaria is conquered by it. -

Lightning Pictures. Amateur photographers, may find interesting scientific work in securing photographs of lightning flashes, specimens of which are requested by the Council of the Royal Meteorological Society. No particular difficulty need bo encountered, for if a rapid plate and an ordinary rapid lens are left uncovered for a short time at night during a thunderstorm, flashes of lightning will, after development, be found in some cases to have impressed themselves on the plate. The focus should be that for a distant object. In response to a call made last year, about sixty photogruplis were received, find tliese liiive disclosed facts about lightning which were before quite unsuspected. Arkansaw Traveler. The Prodigal’s Return. Stranger—“ Are you Mr. Bridgely ?” “That’s my name. Who are you?” “Don’t you remember me ?” “I do not.” “Do you remember how, fourteen years ago, your oldest boy left his home to seek his fortune?” “Certainly, I do.” “Mr. Bridgely, I am that long lost son.” “Well, well! I told Maria this morning when the plaster fell from the ceiling that it yvas a sign of bad luck.” —Nebraska State Journal.
