BI ■■ NUGGETS OF GOLD. IMPORTANT HAPPENINGS IN EVERY QUARTER OF THE GLOBE. The Eatcst Intelligence Received by Wire from Distant Danils and at Home—The Cream of the News Gathered from AU Quarters of the World. OCTOBER CROP REPORTS. The Corn Crop Averages Twenty-six Bushels an Acre—Wheat Averages. The Octobe rcrop report is as follows: Returns show that the condition of the present corn crop has been equaled only three times in ten years, and is exceeded materially only by that of 187'J, when the condition was 98, and the subsequent ascertained yield 28 bushels. The present average of condition is 92, against 94.2 in September. There has been no decline in the Northwest, and the status of the great cornsurplus States remains as on Sept. 1. The indications favor a result ranging little from 26 bushels an acre, making a full average. The general average for winter wheat is 1J bushels an acre, and for spring .heat slightly over 10 bushels. The foimer has yielded better than the early expectation, the latter much worse. The quality is much below the average, which will still further reduce the supply. The winter-wheat averages for States of considerable production ere: New York, 14.1; Pennsylvania, 13.7; Maryland, 14.5; Virginia, 8.7; Texas, 11.2; Tennessee, 9.2; Kentucky, 11,2; Ohio, 11,2; Michigan, 14.5; Indiana, 11.3; Illinois, 13; Missouri, 12.6; Kansas, 14.7; California, 12.7 ; Oregon, 16.3. '1 he spring wheat averages are: Wisconsin, 11.8; Minnesota, 8.7 ; lowa, 10.3; Nebraska, 10.8; Colorado, 17.5; Dakota, 9.2; Montana, 16.5; Washington, 18.5; Utah, 16.5. The spring wheat of the New England States ranges from 14 to 16. The condition of buckwheat has declined heaviiy from 73.7 last month to 79.1, mainly from frosts. The average condition of the potato crop is about 87, a decline of less than four points. EIGHTY WERE SLAIN. Terrible Loss of Life in a Railroad Disaster A most appalling accident happened on the Lehigh Valley Railroad at a point midway between White Haven and Penn Haven Junction, Pa., near the little place known as Mud Run. The loss of life was awful. The annual convention and parade of the Father Mathew society of the diocese of Scranton was held at Hazleton, and enormous crowds went down there from Luzerne and Lackawanna counties. In the collision the cars were smashed to pieces and hurled from the track, rolling down a sixty-foot embankment. Fortunately the river was low, or the cars would have gone into the water and the loss of life would have been still more terrible. Eighty persons were killed and many injured. A NIGHT HORROR. Over 150 People Injured by the Falling of a Grand Stand at Quincy, 111. The second day of the Quincy, Illinois, celebration closed with a terrible accident, by which 150 people were more or less seriously injured. The grand stand at the corner of Twentieth and Hampshire streets, from which 4,500 people were viewing the fireworks, collapsed, precipitating its occupants to the ground. Iho wildest excitement prevailed, shrieks and groans rent the air, mingled with the shouts of the uninjured and those in quest of relatives. It is believed that no one was fatally hurt. TWENTY-ONE LIVES LOST. A Line steamer Runs Down a French Fishing Smack. Twenty-one lives were lost in a disaster off the Newfoundland coast. The steamer Queen, of the National Line, : bound from Liverpool to New York, ran | down the French fishing schooner Made- : line. The schooner sunk, and twenty-one ! of her crew were drowned. Only four escaped. HEAVY BATTERS. New York Secures First Place—Chicago Second. The New York nine has practically won the pennant, with Chicago a close second. i The official score: League. Won.Loat.

An engine was run into the roundhouse o r the Pennsylvania Road at Valparaiso, Ind., and through the brick wall, by reason of a misplaced switch, and while workmen were clearing away the debris part of the roof fell in, burying Claus Myers. Ho was dug out alive, but fatally injured. Nominated for Mayor. The United Labor party at New York have nominated James J. Coogan for Mayor. NOMINATIONS CONFIRMED. Various Bills Passed—The President’s VetoLast of Appropriation Bills. The discussion of the tariff bill was continued in the Senate on the 10th, by^Mr. Bate. A resolution was adopted instructing the Foreign Relations Committee to report an arrangement by which American cattle for export may be saved the delay imposed by Canadian quarantine regulations. ” The Senate passed the bill to pay rhe widow of Chief Justice Waite the sum of 88,4,5, being the balance of his year's salary; also the House bill for the relief and civilization of the Chippewa Indians in Minnesota, also confirmed the nominations of James P. Lesesne of South Carolina as Consul General at Melbourne ; R. F. Coates, Receiver of Public Money as Wichita, Kan. ; S. E. Carroll, Postmaster at Adel, Iowa; . M. Trumbower, Postmaster at Muncie, Ind. A message from the President was presented and read vetoing a bill for the roliet of the executors of Joseph Maddox for payment on account of losses and damages sustained by the seizure of tobacco during the war. Referred. The House, having agreed to the conference report on the deficiency bill and transacted some routine business adjourned. This is the last of the general appropriation bills. EASTERN OCCURRENCES. Eddy & Street, dealers in cotton yarns at Providence, R. 1., have failed for I §IOO,OOO. W. H. Ingham A Co., of New York, the heads of an alleged “speculative syndicate” to operate in stocks and grain, ■ are bankrupts, and their customers throughout the country will lose small amounts. Philip Palledoni, the Italian who murdered his brother in cold blood the evening of June 22, 1887, suffered the death penalty at Bridgeport, Conn., being the third victim to capital punishment within the history of Fairfield County. Palledoni was 24 years of age, below the medium stature, and possessed a repulsive countenance. The scene on the gallows was sickening. As the condemned man stepped onto the trap he fainted, and his cap fell off. The fall failed to break his neck, and os he slowly strangled to death the convulsions of his face were terrible. Several in the crowd fainted at the sight. A daring robbery was perpetrated on a passenger train of the Pennsylvania and Reading Road. The train had just left Kurtztown. Pa., when four men seized Daniel Geist, a wealthy farmer, who was seated in a car in which there were a number of other passengers, bound him with a rope, rifled his pockets, then jumped

from the train and escaped. The passengers were not aware of the crime until the men had escaped. They secured only §lB. During the ceremony of the corner stone aying of the Polish Catholic Church, at Reading, Pa., fully two thousand men, women, and children were standing on the floor, when it gave way, precipitating several hundred persons to the basement, a distance of fifteen feet. Over one hundred men and women were thrown in a heap, and all were more or less injured, some seriously and others fatally. The wildest excitement, approaching a panic, followed. The accident was caused by the walls spreading. Carroll Tilton, the eldest son of । Theodore Tilton, was Carried in New : York to Miss Miriam Alice Blauvelt, at the Brooklyn residence of the bride’s father, P. S. Blauvelt, by the Rev. Dr. R. S. Storrs. Isaac V. Williamson, a wealthy Philadelphian, will give that city a fine industrial college, the estimated cost of which is §3,000,000. WESTERN HAPPENINGS. Jacob Williams, employed in Peer’s coal yard at Fort Wayne, Ind., committed suicide. Dr. E. W. H. Beck, a prominent’ cTL zen of Delphi, Ind., and a leading spiritualist, died at that place. While gathering hickory nuts Fred Betchald was shot and killed near Mackinaw, 111., by Fred Kessler, who fired at a squirrel, not knowing that Betchald was I in the tree. Mrs. Sarah Stuart died at Lafayette, Ind., aged 64. Deceased was the widow of the late Judge W. Z. Stuart, for years a ! member of the State Supreme Court, and | afterward the principal attorney of the I Wabash Railway. Her son is the Mayor of Lafayette. ,*■ Pressey, Wheeler & Co., grain comi mission men at Minneapolis, Minn., have i suspended payment. They allege inabili- ' ty to collect §50,000 due them in margins as the cause. Fourteen Sioux Indian chiefs, including Sitting Bull, Gall, and John Grass,.in. charge of Agent McLaughlin of Standing Rock, reached Chicago the otherday and were joined by fifty others from various agencies. The party then proceeded to Washington, where an audience with the Committee on Indian Affairs relative to the cfpening of reservations will be held. The fourteen chiefs represent thirty tribes and are shrewd and intelligent Indians. They demand 50 cents per acre in advance, or §1.25 per acre to be paid when the lands are sold. The widow of Gon. Martin Boom has secured a verdict for §14,000 in Wisconsin, one-third of the Kimberley estate. Gold has been discovered in the principal street of Helena, Mont. SOUTHERN INCIDENTS. The total number of deaths from yellow fever at Jacksonville, Fla., up to October 6, was 282; number of cases, 3,103. ’ A monument to the memory of Jennie Bowman, the girl who was murdered by Albeit Turner and William Patterson, both colored,, in April, 1887, has been unveiled at Louisville, Ky. Miss Bowman was a domestic and was attacked by the negroes in an attempt to rob her employer’s house, situated in a fashionable and densely populated part of Louisville. A large attendance was present at the ceremonies. Judge R. H. Thompson, of the City Court, delivered the address. During a political quarrel at Spring i City, Tenn., George Henderson was fatalj ly stabbed by Adam Watson. At Anniston, Ala., Will Lacy attempted; ' to kill Editor Edmonds, of the TTot Blast, : and also shot and wounded two other per- : sons. Ltfcy and his accomplice, J. S. Lawrence, a Justice of the Peace, .vere arrested and taken to Jacksonville, Ala. The Hot Blast’s articles in favor of a rigid enforcement of the prohibitory law led to the affray. In front of the Methodist Church at l Aberdeen, Miss., Shep Anderson shot and j killed Solomon Copely (both colored), the murderer asserting that his victim had placed conjuring bottles and voodoo roots around his (Anderson's) house. A rule was taken a few days ago on Gen. J. B. Vin6tt, Public Administrator of | New Orleans, requiring him to pay over §30,000 to Kate Townsend. The fact is now made known that his predeccessor, Gabriel Villeri, is about §40,000 short in his accounts. This amount or more is due to the .administrator of the estate by Villeri. In May last Villeri was elected Criminal Sheriff for the Parish of Orleans. Irene Postell was found near her room in the hall of a business block of Atlanta, Ga., bound, gagged and chloroformed, with a rope tied tight around her neck. Breathing was suspended and death imminent when' the police fotmcl her. During the day she had trouble with a woman named Dunaway, who had threatened to kill her, and two of Dunaway’s male friends went to her room and at the point of a pistol tied her arms and feet, gagged her, and tied the rope around her neck to choke her to death. The woman will die. The entire family, seven in number, of • Dr. Trego Shertzer of Baltimore, Md., ■were attacked with lead-poisoning, the result of drinking milk which had stood for thirty-six hours in a new milk-can. Each patient’s symptoms were nausea, vomiting, followed by cramps in the stomach, headache, etc. None of the cases will prove fatal. THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. The United States Supreme Court in Washington was crowded to witness the inauguration of Chief Justice Fuller, and an hour before the court convened hundreds had been turned away unable to obtain admission. Mrs. Fuller and six of her children were among those present. The ceremony was brief, simple and imi pressive, and was the eighth ceremony of ■ the kind in the history of the country. | Justice Miller conducted the proceedings. POLITICAL PORRIDGE.

The Democratic committee also makes a proposition for the appointment of a committee of 100—forty-five to be Democrats, forty-five Republicans and ten Prohibitionists—to discover and punish election frauds. INDUSTRIAL ITEMS. All the Chicago West Side street-car men struck on the 9th inst., according to promise, and then both the North and West Side cars were tied up. Cars were moved on the North Side, but there was an incipient riot on Garfield avenue. No one was hurt. At the Western avenue barns the police had a hard time with the crowd. Stones were thrown, and Superintendent Nagle was assaulted. One arrest was made. People were compelled to walk to their places of business or take advantage of improvised conveyances. The situation, while serious, had its ludicrous features. Handsome and elegantly attired ladies rode in butchers’ carts, and bankers in drays, while thousands took their initial lesson in pedestrianism of half an hour’s duration. ACROSS THE OCEAN. The death of Dr. Samuel Kneeland, who was long connected with the Institute of Technology at Boston, is reported at Hamburg, Germany The death is announced in London of Sir Anthony Musgrave, the Governor of Queensland. Ho had been successively Governor of St. Vincent, Newfoundland, British Columbia, Natal, South Australia, and Jamaica. He was appointed Governor of Queensland in 1883. In 1870 he made as his second wife the daughter of David Dudley Field of New York. A Moscow telegram states that the police have discovered a cellar which was being used for the making of dynamite shells. In connection with the discovery they have arrested a Nihilist who recently returned from Siberia. He attempted to commit suicide when captured. FRESH AND NEWSY. In their review of trade for last week R. G. Dun & Co. say: The great wheat speculation was the absorbing feature of the week, for, though the September corner came to an end with heavy Ipsst s tor sellers, it left the market in such n state that .much higher prices for other options were easily obtained. With December wheat at 81.18 at Chicago there came heavy selling ami sharp reactions. Cash wheat-sold for more at Chicago than at Liverpool, and at one time it would have paid to ship wheat back from Antwerp to New York. At New York sales of wheat amounted to 108,463,001 bushels—more than three times the entire visible supply, and prices closed 8> cents higher than the previous week. Corn advanced two < ent s, with sales of 13,0 0,000 bushels, and oats a fraction. The speculative fever was felt in other markets, and pork rose 81 a barrel, lard 35cents, and hogs 25 cents per 100 pounds. Coties rose one cent, with sales of 516,50 > bugs, and oil nearly one cent, with sales of 6,738,0J0 barrels. In cotton there was a slight decline of an eighth, with sales of 3 6,000 bales. Reports from interior points were uniformly favorable, outside of the influence of yellowfever at the South. At many Western points . the tenor of reports was generally encouraging. There was less complaint as to collections, money was in increasing demand, and the volume of business was enlarging. Outside New York the bank clearings showed a gain of 10.'. per cent, over last year. While the number of failures was large, the amount of liabilities for the third quarter of the year shows a great decrease—from $73,022,556 last year to $22,114,254 for the quarter just ended. The failures during the week numbered 211. A carefully tabulated statement, giving the actual results of this season’s thrashing in eighty-three counties of Minnesota and Dakota, shows a net decrease as compared with last year’s crop of 40 per cent, which would make the present wheat crop of Minnesota and Dakota 55,000.000 to 60,000,000 bushels. In the Red River Valley and through the frosted region of Northern Dakota there is not half a crop, and the grain is poor in quality, the proportion of No. 1 hard being very small. A large proportion will go No. 3, while in many localities half will grade rejected. Hundreds of acres have not been harvested at all. Corn is in good condition, with a largely increased acreage, and other crops have turned out well. Henry Strohm, son of Mr. A. Strohm of New Paris, Ind., who was believed to be a prisoner on the Philippine Islands, has just been heard from in a letter from A. R. Webb, Consul at Manilla, Philippine Islands,stating that Henry, regarding whose whereabout s nothing had been heard by his parents since last April, arrived safely at Manilla, Aug. 11, having been on the island of Gamu in captivity for 186 days. He left Manilla, Aug. 13, for Hong Kong, China, from which place he had written his parents. The young man had a thrilling experience while in captivity among the cannibals. His parents had appealed to Secretary Bayard to effect his release. _ MARKET REPORTS. CHICAGO.

Every lad in the country, no matter how lowly his occupation may be or : how small the wages ho may earn, | makes it a point to own a set of ’hari ness and a buggy. This, anyway, and, jif possible, a horse. If he can’t get the । horse, however, it doesn’t make so [ much difference, for he can generally | manage to borrow an animal of some ; sort, either from his employer or some , neighboring farmer. These things art 1 । absolutely essential to the kind of | courting he does, and the only one who doesn’t enjoy it is the horse. When Saturday afternoon comes I around the boys may be found hard at . work with a bottle of harness polish, • making tin 1 horse apparel shine for tlie regular Sunday 4, turnout. And then a , bucket of xvatjer and a sponge are brought into plAy, and the buggy is made as hi i^yiund dean as new. Sunday afternot^|y<Tything is in readiness, and decked f in his best suit of clothes, which sometimes fits him but more often doesn’t, he ties a piece of ; bright ribbon on his whip, climbs into ’ the buggy and drives off. Maybe he lias a friend from some i other point stopping with him, and in < that case the friend goes along. The latter is taken to some house along the ■ route where there is a daughter in the family. She is asked whether she ex- ; pects any caller or not that evening, and if the answer be in the negative the friend is introduced and left in care i of the girl, who treats him just r.s if | they had been life-long friends, and, ; he in turn does his share towards carrying out the jiresuniption. He takes tea with the family and then is esi corted to the parlor, when he. and his : new-found acquaintance are left alone : to entertain each other as best they see lit. In the meantime the buggy owner : has driven on to his destination. His i best.girl welcomes him with open arms, i A hug, a kiss and how-do-ye-do com- ■ prise the salutatory, and then he goes through the same course as the friend he has left behind. After tea he goes to < the parlor and he and the object of his admiration sit and chat together the whole night long. This is a fact, and they don’t sit as city folks do, either. । They huddle together on a lounge or sofa and clasped in each other’s arms, sit and coo like a pair of turtle-doves. No one is there to disturb or embarrass them. The old folks have gone to bed and the younsters are alone in their glory. For a time they talk about crops and the weather, and discuss the habits of some mutual acquaintance, and when they have exhausted all subjects on which they find it easy they don’t go ahead and talk for the sake of saying something, as city folks do, but they remain silent and sit for hours hugging and kissing each other, until the break of day warns the youth that it is time for him to retire. Then he gives his girl a jiarting kiss and hug, another for good luck and takes his departure. American Vines Cure Ilie Pest. It is the fashion to decry all things American in Europe, but there is one American tiling which even the most cynical European cannot decry, and that is the American grape-vine, grafted upon which the vines of France have conquered the phylloxera. Not only has the American vine lielped the French vine to get the better of this destructive insect, but it has actually improved the European varieties of grapes. M. Viette, French Minister of Agriculture, has returned to Paris from a tour made through the vineyards of Central and Southern France, and has made a report which is highly encouraging to his fellow countrymen. M. Viette declares that the restoration of i ihe French vine by means of the Amer- ; tcan stock is now a certainty, having passed beyond the field of experiment. The yield of the new vines is generally greater than the old ones before they were attacked with phylloxera; and what is more, varieties which were not hardy before, and could not be cultivated except with great difficulty, now prove hardy on the American stock. In ' the important vine-growing department of Herault the vineyards are almost completely restored, and in several other departments restoration is in full progress.

“DOCTORING OLD TIME.” A. Striking; Picture—A Revival cf Old-Time । Simplicities. , In one of Harper’s issues is given a very 5 fine illustration of Roberts’ celebrated painting, known as “Doctoring Old Time." 1 It represents a typical old-timer, with his I i bellows, blowing the dust from an ancient ! j elock, with its cords and weights carefully . secured. One of these clocks in this goner- : * ation is appreciated only as a rare relic. | 1 The suggestive name, "Doctoring Old ' , Time,” brings to o.ur mind another version । ■ of the title, used for another purpose—“Old- I ’ Timo Doctoring.” i 1 Wo learn, through a reliable source, that ] one of tho enterprising proprietary medi- , cine firms of the country has been for years . investigating tho formulas and medical J preparations used In the beginning of this 1 century, and even before, with a view of as- ; certaining why people in our great-grand- , fathers’ time enjoyed a health and physical [ • vigor so seldom found in the present gonor- । 1 ation. They now think they have secured 1 the secret or secrets. They find that the j prevailing opinion that then existed, that , “Nature has a remedy for every existing • disorder,” was true; and, acting under this < belief, our grandparents used the common < herbs and plants. Continual trespass upon j , the forest domain has made these herbs i J less abundant, and has driven them further /rem civilization, until they have been discarded as remedial agents, because of the difficulty of obtaining them. H. H. Warner, proprietor of Warner's safe cure and founder of the Warner observatory. Rochester, N. Y.. has been pressing investigations in this direction, into the annals of old family histories, until ho has secured some very valuable formulas, from which his firm is now preparing medicines, to be sold by all druggists. They will, wv learn, be known under the general title of “Warner’s Log Cabin remedies.” Among these medicines will be a “sarsaparilla” for the blood and liver, "Log Cabin hops and buchu remedy,” for the stomach, etc., "Log Cabin cough and consumption remedy." "Log Cabin hair tonic,” “Log Cabin extract,” for internal and external use, and an old valuable discovery for catarrh, called “Log Cabin rose cream.” Among the list is also a “Log Cabin plaster” and a “Log Cabin liver pill." From the number of remedies, it will bo seen that they do not propose to cure all diseases with one preparation. It is be- ' lieved by many that witn these remedies a new era is to dawn upon suffering humanity, and that the close of the nineteenth century will see these roots and herbs, as com- ‘ pounded under the title of Warner’s Log Cabin remedies, as popular as they were at its beginning. Although they come in tho form of proprietary medicines, yet they will be none the less welcome, for suffering humanity has become tired of modern doctoring, and the public has great confidence in any remedies put up by the firm of which H. H. Warner is the head. Tho pebple have become suspicious of the effects of doctoring with poisonous drugs. Few realize tho injurious effects following tho prescriptions of many modern physicians. These effects of poisonous drugs, already prominent, will become more pronounced in coming generations. Therefore we can cordially wish the old-fashioned now remedies the best of success.

Liberated from Their Fetters By tlie helpful, genial action of that most beneficent of aperients, Hostetter’s SfGmaeh Bitters, the bowels soon throw off the burden that paralyzed and wenkin d them, and resume their normal freedom of action. The action of the Bitters, unlike that of average prrgatives, involves no grip’ng or d enching. If it did it would, like thirn, be valueless for ordinary use. Tin re is nothing ungentle or ui na'ural a tending its operation. U]o:i tho liver, no less than tho bowels, its action is most benign, .promoting a health jil bilious secretion, and dirorting out of the wrong and into the light channel. Conjointly with costiveness, other bilious symptoms disappear win n it is systi maticnlly used, and tho stomach is sti engthened as well asregula' od by it. Malarial conip'aints, rheumatism, debility, nervousness and kidney troubles are completely relieved by it. Sleep and appetite are invariub.y promoted by it. Tobacco bjindness, it is said, is becoming a common affliction. At present there are several persons under treatment for it at one London hospital. It first takes the form of color blindness, the sufferers who have smoked themselves into this condition being quite unabki to distinguish the color of a piece of red cloth held up before them. Sometimes the victim loses his eyesight altogether. Tobacco, being a narcotic, naturally benumbs the nerves. When the nerves are thus benumbed people do not see as distinctly, and thus defectiveness of vision tends to increase and become permanent, 'The fowls ami chicks should bo fed together. Feeding coops Tor the young stock that are light and easily cleaned out are indispensable articles about the poultry yard. Sick Headache May arise from stomach troubles, biliousness, or dyspepsia, and many persons aro subject to periodic headaches for which they can ascribe no direct or definite cans.'. But the headache is a sure indication that there is something wrong somewhere, and whatever tlie cause. Hood's Sarsaparilla is a reliable remedy for headache, and tor all troubles which seem to require a corrective and regulator. It cures d.vspepsia, biliousness, malaria, tones tlie stomach, creates an appetite and gives strength to tho nerves. “I have been troubled for a innnbcr of years with a sick headache accompanied by vomiting spells. My system was all out of order, and in addition to this I contracted a severe cold, which caused a terrible cough. I took Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and ithas accomplished so much that I am certain of a speedy restoration of perfect health. The headache has left me entirely, and my system has come to a regular working order.” Mits. A. J. EimmebmanN, 609 Thirteenth St., Milwaukee, Wis.

Couldn’t Forget the Old Life. “It is eighteen years since I ran a locomotive,” said an engineer to the gossiper, “yet I never see one without longing to get on board and gi’asp the throttle. In 1870 I xvas in a wreck on the Illinois Central, and came out, or rather was dragged out, witli both legs and one arm broken. That accident brought me in §IO,OOO in cash and a life position on the road; that is to say, the Illinois is bound to give me a position should I apply for it or pay me regular wages instead. Lome time ago I was in the shops where a handsome locomotive was receiving her finishing touches. ‘She’s a beauty,’ said I, and - I’d like to run her.’ ‘You can take her if you wish,’ said the superintendent. I tell you it was the greatest temptation in my life; but I conquered^it. I ve been a commercial traveler for eight years, and can make more money than engineering would bring; still I never can forget the o’d life, its perils and pleasures.”— Kansas City Times. Remember Allcock’s are the only genuine Porous Plasters. They act quickly and with certainty, and can bo worn for weeks without causing pain oi inconvenience. They are invaluable in cases of Spinal Weakness, Kidney and Pulmonary Difficulties, Malaria, Ague Cake, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Strains, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Sciatica, Heart, Spleen, and Stomach Troubles, and all local pains. Beware of imitations, and do not be deceived by misrepresentation. Ask for Allcock’s, and let no explanation or solicitation induce you to accept a substitute. Julius Cnesar and Liberal Education. Some friend of Ciesar’s —Brutus perhaps—once asked the great Homan whether he deemed a liberal education necessary to success in life. “I do,” said Cmsar. “I attribute my success to the thorough grounding I received in the dead languages at school. Indeed I could not have attained my present eminence in Roman affairs without Latin.” — Harper's. Will be Found Out. Lend n dishonest man money and you will find him out sooner or later. He will bo out w’hen you call for the return of your money.— Neic Orleans Picayune. Some Foolish I’eoplo Allow’ a cough to run until it gets beyond tho reach of medicine.
