R. G. Pitkin, of New Orleans. GONE TO CATCH TIORE SEALS. The Black Diamond Off for Another Cruise in Behring Sea. The Black Diamond has left Victoria, B. C., ostensibly on a trip up the coast . to refit, but it is said she is really off on a : sealing cruise into Behring Sea, where the owners believe they have a legal right to hunt seal. This action shows what the popular feeling is there in regard to ; the United States jurisdiction in Behring j Sea and her power to enforce it. 801 l Worms and Rust. The boll worm has made its appearance ' in the cotton-fields of Arkansas to an alarming extent. The cotton also has rust very bad in some places. Up to a ' short time ago the prospect for a very j heavy yield was flattering. At present the prospects are gloomy. A Pastor’s Suicide. At St. Louis, Mo., the Rev. C. V. Wargowski, a minuter, formerly of Chicago, committed suicide by shooting himself i through the head in the AV estern depot. He left a long letter giving his reasons for self-destruction, in which he lay.: the blame on his wife. Broke the Ocean Record. The steamship City of Paris, from Queenstown to New York, broke her own (the best) record, by three hours and for- : ty-nine minutes her actua time from Queenstown to Sandy Hook Lightship being five days, nineteen hours and eighteen minutes. Grand American Festival in Paris. It is stated that M. Alphand, the French engineer, proposes to organize in Paris in October a grand American festival in honor of the three hundred and ninety-seventh anniversary of the discov- । ery of America. Will Keduce the Coal Output. Reprssentatxves of six great coal producing companies met at New York the other day and decided to restrict the coal production for September to 3,600,000 tons, a decrease of 1,000,000 tons from : the corresponding mouth of last year. Counterfeited Pool Tickets. At Saratoga, two eotmterfeit pool tick- ' ets, aggregating §575, were passed on the Chicago book-makers, Gunn & Co., both being presented by the same man. California’s Wine Crop. The wine product of California this year will be about 12,000,000 gallons, and the brandy output will reach 1,000,000 gallons. Newsy Notes, Fire at San Bernardino, Cal., damaged the property of seven firms, the total loss aggregating §5), 000. At Newport, H. W. Slocum defeated Q. A. Shaw, Jr., winning the amateur j tennis championship of America. At Orillia, Ont., George It Gray put the twelve-pound shot. 52 feet 2 inches, breaking the best previous record of 50 feet 6 inches. EASTERN OCCURRENCES. A Niagara Falls (N. Y.) dispatch says: Carlisle D. Graham has made a successful trip through the whirlpool rapids in a barrel-shaped boat. At first the boat traveled easily, but soon was in ~4be grasp of toe more rapid current that hastened its journey. 5V hen it struck the big wave in front of Buttery’s elevator it was out of sight so long that many believed it to be lost. All these dangers Graham passed in safety, and Seymour Fleming and John Lonsdale, oi Lewiston, picked him and Lis little vessel up just above the old Lewiston bridge . on the Canadian side. Col. Alfred Aylward, who fought with the Union forces during the war, 1 and also fought with Garibaldi and with the Boers in the Transvaal, died at East . Littleton, N. 11. He was at one time a member of the revolutionary parej’ in Ireland. Johnstown (Ph.) business meu have raU da fund of §I,OOO to prosecute the. South Fork Fishing Club for damages by ; the recent disaster there. A boiler in the nail factory of Godcharks & Co., at South Towanda, Pa., - exploded, F.ve men were instantly killed, two others probably will die, and four others were terribly injured. The killed

; were: Richard Ackley, Sanford Smith, John Bostwick, Isaac Br ntford, Guy I Herman. J. Rider and George Seebeck •will proba' ly die. Charles MoVeagh, Ray Thomas aud two Swedes, names nnknown, were badly hurt. The building was wrecked. John Oakley, the Newburg (N. YO soap manufacturer has made an assignment for the ben fit of his creditors. John S. Mackintosh, wool-puller, of Milton, Mass., has assigned. His liabilities are estimated to be in the neighborhood of §IOO,OOO. The assignment is caused by the embarrassment of Brown, Steese & Clark and George W. Hollis. WESTERN HAPPENINGS. At the racing meeting of the North : Western Breeders’ Association, at Wash- : ington Park. Chicago, Axtell, in a ■ stallion race, lowered the world’s three- . year-old mord of 2:14a by making a mile in 2:11. Alie:ton also made a mile in 2:18}, which is very fast for a three- ! year-old. Meager news of a riot at Jardineville, Ark., has been received at Little Rock. ■ Several persons are known to have been ’ shot, to death and many are reported ! wounded. The list of the dead includes : Joseph Jordan, William Newcomb, Frank Holt, and Anderson Nell. The exact number of the dead and wounded is not known. The town of Port Costa, on Carquiuez j Straits, the great grain entrepot of Caii- [ fornia, was the scene of a destructive I fire involving a total loss of about §600,- ’ 000. The fire originated in warehouse ' No. 2, a wooden building 1,500 feet long, ! owned by G. W. McNear A Co. The warehouse contained about 7,000 tons of grain, which is a total loss. The fire communicated to the wharves and shipping alongside, and the American wooden ship Armenia and the British wooden ship Honowaur, both partially loaded with wheat, were burned to the water’s edge. The only casualty reported is the death of the Chinese cook on board the 'ship Honowaur, who was i drowned by jumping from the ship. In addition to the warehouse and wharves, forty freight cars of the Southern Pacific Company, loaded with grain, were burned. A construction train on the northwestern extension of the Burlington and Missouri Railway was wrecked near the Pine Ridge Tunnel, in the northwestern corner of the State. The train was backing and two cars were thrown from the track. Eleven men were hurt and two at least may die. George Moore, the ■ engineer, and J ames Murn an, a laborer, | are in a bad condition. The others inI jured are: C. Compton, the conductor; Charles Strong; Jenson Brown, Jens Hansen, Aimer Fairbanks, W illiam Krupp. George Thomas, Charles Vermillion, and Robert Hansen. Nearly ail the injuries are broken legs and dislocated ankles. It is thought that a plunk on the track caused the wreck. A vestibule train on the Santa Fe Road bound for Chicago, aud having a number of Grand Army men on board, j was wrecked fifteen miles north of I Streator, 111., three coaches, two sleepers, ! and dining-car being thrown down an I embankment. Fifty persons, mostly ; residents of Kansas, were wounded, i About a dozen of the victims were dani gerously hurt. At Stockton, Cal., Justice Swain, on ' motion of District Attorney’ W hite, d : «- 1 missed the case against Judge Field, in I connection with the killing of Judge : Terry. S. J. Clark has been arrested at Vuscoy, Minn., for using the mails for fraudulent purposes. A. J. Jackson, Cleveland representative of Thomas Cook A Son. tourist agents, is short §3,600 iu his accounts, and is supposed to have gone to Canada. At San Francisco, Cal., (he United 1 St ites Circuit Court having been ofiicia ly informed that the cln rge of murder against Justice Stepheu J. Field had been dismissed by the Stockton court, Judge Sawyer accordingly dismisses the habeas corpus proceedings in the ease of Justice Field and said: We are glad that the prosecution of Mr, Justice Field has been dismissed, founded as it was upon the sole, reckless, and, as to him, manifestly false affidavit of one w hose relation to the matters leading to the tragedy, and whose animosity toward the courts and judges ■who have found it their duty to decide against her, and especially against Mr. Justice Field, is part of the judicial and notorious public history of the country. It was. so far as Yr. Justice Field is concerned, a shameless proceeding, and, as intimated by the Governor of the commonwealth, would have been a lasting disgrace to the State. Officers of the law should certainly have taken some little pains to ascertain the facta before proceeding to arrest so distinguished a dignitary and to attempt to incarcerate him iu prison with felons, or to put him iu a position to be further degraded and perhaps assaulted by one so violent as to be publicly reported, not only then but on numerous previous occasions, to have threatened his life. The case of Deputy Marshal Nagle was also taken up in the Circuit Court, ami Judge Sawyer announced that a time would be set for taking testimony and arguing the law points in reg ird to th jurisdiction of the Federal Court. Gustave Klabb.?, the Chicago tinsmith who made the boxes in which the murdered Dr. Cronin's clothes are supposed to have been ship; ed to Europe, wis nearly killed by a gang of roughs who attacked him on the street at night. At San Francisco, Cal., Jack Dempsey was knocked out by George Lo Blanche in the thirty-second round of a prize fight. The fight was under the auspices of the California Club. SOUTHER N IN CID ENTS. WHILE a party of laborers were drilling the powder out of an unexploded blast in a tunnel at Bickley ’s Mills, Russell County, Va., the charge exploded, and an eighteen-foot drill was driven into Michael Dunce’s skull, half protruding on either side. John Hamery’s hands were blown off. Joo Moore’s shoulder was knocked oil by a fragment of rock, and William Burns was fatally bruised by flying stones. An east-bound special train with officers of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad on board ran into an express train at Petrolia, W. Va. The fast express had been [ ordered to stop at Petrolia and the paycar, with the officials of the road, had been ordered to stop at Silver Run. Each tried to make the point and collided. A : the tune of the collision both trains were going thirty-five miles an hour. They met on a sharp curve, and, without a. moment’s warning, dashed into each other, wrecking both engines and the baggage-car. | Three pet sons were instantly killed, one , fatally and fifteen slightly injured. The l killed are: Engineer Layman, Fireman | John Fletcher, Fireman John Bailey. । Engineer George Lowland was ratally injured. One of the officials, named Hunter, was perhaps fatally injured. Mrs. Manley, of Central W. Va.. was badly injured. Couuc Iman Robert Malloy, of L’firkersburg, was cut and bruised. i Baggageniast r Ross w s cut. The colored porter on the special w >-: thrown : through a glass door and probably fatally i injured. i Tin: will of Jo n W. McCoy, of Baltimore, just nd mil ted to probate, makes the Johns Hopkins Li.ivur-ity the residuary legatee and bequeaths to that institution §100,600. Mr. Met oy also L lives it his magnificent library and gives to the Peabody Institute his collection of paiut-

. । ings. The rest of the estate, about §150,- , 000, is divided up among literary friends. ' POLITICAL PORRIDGE. The conventions held iu several Stces by various political parties have selected for candidates the following: Virginia Republicans — Governor, Gen. William Mahone; IJeuteuant-Governor, Col. Campbell C. Slemp; Attorney-General, Capt. । Warren S. Lurty. ; North Dakota Republicans Governor, John Miller; Lieutenant-Governor, Alfred Dickey; Secretary of State, John Flit.ie; Supreme Judges, G. C. H. Corliss, Alfred Wattin, Judge Bartholomew; Au itor. John O. Uray; member of Congress, L. C. Hausborougli. Nebraska Prohibitionists Supreme Judge, S. P. Wigion, of Norfolk; University Regents, Mrs. Jennie F. Holmes of Tecumseh, C. B. Palmer of Hastings. Montana Republicans— Governor, T. C. Power, of Helena: Lieutenant-Governor, J. B. Richards, of Butte; member of Congress, T. H. Curler, of Helena. ACROSS THE OCEAN. Queen Yiutoria, accompanied by Prince aud Princess Henry of Battenberg, has started on a tour of Wales. The work of erecting the scaffold for the execution of Mrs. Maybrick, nt Liverpool, had already begun when it was announced officially that Homo Secretary Matthews had commuted the sentence of the condemned woman to penal servitude for life. The decision was based ou the conflict of medical testimony as to whether the poison found in Mr. Maybrick’s stomach was sufficient to produce death. After a prolonged consultation between eminent lawyers and Mr. Matthews the unanimous opinion was arrived at that Mrs. May brick had administered poison to her husband with intent to kill. No further appeal, either for a release from prison or for mitigation of the sentence to imprisonment for life, will be entertained. This decision is in accord with public sentiment, and the liveliest satisfaction is manifested on all sides. An earthquake has been experienced on the Russian frontier. In the village of Khenzorik 12!) persons were buried alive. FRESH AND NEWSY The weather crop bulletin says: The weather has been favorable for harvesting in Minnesota, where an unusually large wheat crop has been secured. Lute crops have been injured iu Dakota by drought. For Pennsylvania, lowa, aud Illinois the weather is especially favorable for corn, which is maturing rapidly. In Michigan it has been unfavorable for corn, potatoes, and pastures. Over the greater portion of Kansas and the western half of Missouri the corn crop is excellent, but iu eastern Missouri the crop has been injured by drought. Numerous reports from the corn 1 elt indicate that the crop will be secure from frost on Sept. 15. In the western Gulf States staple crops are much improved. The • we ither of the week has been generally j favorable in New England and the Mid- I die States. Titi: monument to Roscoe Conkling, recently placed over his grave at Forest Hill Cemetery in I t ca, N. Y., bears this inscription: Roscoe Conkling, born Oct. 3l>, 1829; died Avril 16, Isss.” His death took place April IS. The discrepancy was not discovered until the monument was set up. It is not possible to make a change without disliguring the stone. Tiie gross eamiugs of the Union Pacific Railway for July were §2,7 16,577, au increase over the same mouth last ■ year of §172,511. Bkvdstreet’s levies of the state of trade says: Special telegrams indicate no noteworthy change in the volume oi general merchandise being distribut-ed. except that moderate m- i creases are reported at Phtludelphia. St. Louis, New Orlean-. St. Joseph, and Omaliu There is an average uiovement at most other points, and at iilmost all general belief favors an active fall liiule.

This is caused by a de< reused demand for tlour, wheat mid corn, both for home use and for export. Western deliveries of wheat me restricted, but Eastern offerine are freer.

' FOOR OK OKE SCAFFOLD: QUA»KUPLE EXECUTION OF MUKDEKEKB IN A NEW YORK JAIL I’ackeuham, Nolan, Lewis, and Carolin Sutler the Law’s Severest Penalty—A Sickening Scene 011 One of (lie Gibbets— Blaspheming in Heath’s Awful Shadow. At New York, four condemned murderers—Patrick Packenham, Jatk Lewis (colored), James Nolan, and Ferdinand Carolin—were hanged in the yard of the Tombs prison Friday morning. There wore t o scaffolds and two men were hanged on each. PecKenham and Nolan were first executed on the scaffold which had been erected on the Franklin street side of the prison. The drop fell at 6:55 o'clock. Eight minutes later Lewis and Carolin were hanged from the gallows near Leonard street. Sheriff Flack and Under Sheriff Sexton entered the prison at 6:32 o’clock. They were followed by twenty deputy sheriffs. At 6:46 Carolin and Lewis were removed to the boys’ jail, on the Leonard street side. The last rites of the church were then administered. At 6:4t) two of the condemned men, Packenham and Nolan, emerged from the jail. Father Pendergast supported Packenham and Father Gelinas walked by Nolan’s side. Father Van Rensellear followed. Packenham’s face was ghastly pale, but his step was firm. Nolan hardly appeared to realize his position. Reaching their places under the ropes both men turned and grasped the priests by the hands. In a twinkling the black caps were adjusted, and Atkinson rapped three times in rapid succession on the si le of the box, wherein a thh'd assistant stood with a hatchet. The third rap had hardly been given when the bodies of the murderers were swinging in the air. At the expiration of four minutes a mighty throe passed through both of the suspended men. At 7:10 o’clock both men were pronounced dead, but were permitted to hang fifteen minutes longer. AVhile this scene was being enacted preparations were being made for what proved to be the most shocking spectacle that has ever been witnessed within the walls of the Tombs prison. At 6:45 the two murderers received their last spiritual consolation. At 7.02 Carolin and I.ewis, accompanied by the priests, camo through the door. Lewis walked unsteadily for the first dozen paces, but quickly recovered himself. He i was smiling and looked fearlessly around him. Carolin’s face ai as pale and the scowl upon it almost demonaieal. He glared at the pt tests as ho turned around and felt the rope touch his shoulder. Then he broke out into blasphemy that horrified the spectators. Looking sullenly at the priests the doomed man suddenly ex- : claimed: ‘‘l die an innocent man, ; ' I didn’t do this thing. ” I.ewis half-turned his head and said: ; “AVbat’s the matter wth you. anyway? AVhy don't you die like a man ” ‘T will die like a man, ’ shrieked Carolin, his face turning perfectly livid “I will die like a man an innocent man.” The words were scarcely out of his mouth when the black cap was clapped over the murderer’s face, the signal was given and the weight fell. Instead of bounding upward as Fackenham and Nolan had done, the wretched men went into the air with such little force that there was scarcely any spring at all. Lew s immediately began to struggle in the most sickening manner. He threw his legs about so violently as to kick off his slippers. Then he began to gurgle and choke. The rasping, whee-y sound came from under the ; cap for fully’ ten seconds. His body turned j ami .wayed, and the contortions were so painful that the spectators turned away their head-. The man was slowly strangled. Carolin’s body also underwent violent contortions, but he uttered no sound. The weight fed at 7:03 o'clock and at 7:10 both men were dead. lowa’s BLUE GR\SS PAL^CE. The Unique Uxhib.tiou Formally Opened at UreNton. Criston, lowa. Aug. 23.—The Blue Grass Palm e was formally opened Thursday ly Gov. Larrabee iu the presence of an immense crowd. An appropriate pro- j gram of music and speeches was rendered, j The palace is the outcome of the formation of the ‘‘Blue Gra-,s Legion,” formed of the seventeen comities of Southwestern i THE BLUE GRASS PALACE. lowa to bring this special product into prominence. It is 164 by 100 feet on the ground and 120 feet high. The roof is thached with native grasses and all tiie entrances and projections are constructed of baled hay. 'llie docorations are artistic and elaborate. The interious of the 1 ala e is divided into sections occupied by the exhibits of each of the counties in the region as well as contributions from Montana, the two Dakotas and AVashington. In size, design, extent and decoration and value of exhibits the palaeo compares favorably with < the many ice, corn and spu ing palaces that have graced the Republic. REPORTS OK THE CROPS. Benefited in the s»orthw<'st by Bain?~'> Wheat Shortage >“ Imliana. Gratifying reports reach St. Paul, Minn., concerning the crops come from all points along the line of the Omaha road, j The rains which fell very generally during Monday night have proved highly beneficial to corn, and the prospects are very encouraging as far as that cereal is concerned. Flax, also, was greatly benefited by the heavy showers, and the outlook for that crop is of a most promising character. ' From all points comes the report that the I crops still unharvested are looking well, and big yields are confidently’ anticipated. All other crops have been secured in good condition, aud the wheat yield is larger than usual. The August bulletin of the agricultural department says: ‘‘The Indian government has just issued Its final consolidated report on the acreage and product of wheat for the present year. The final estimates are a little larger than I the memoranda for each province, issued during the growing season, were taken as indication, but the aggregate is a material reduction from last year, showing a ser- ; ions shortage in the crop. Long continued , drought at the t ine for sowing and ab- i sence of suflicient winter rains over large , areas have very materially reduced both j the aggregate acreage mid the yield per I acre. The reduced supply will undoubtedly be suflicient for home consumption, j but there can be but a small surplus avail- । able for exportation. I ‘‘l com the final estimate it will be seen ' that the crop of 188!) was smaller than that of 1888 by 637,64!) tons, and the . records show that it was smaller than the | average of the last four years by 6411,521 I j tons, or 25,593,784 bushels. Tiie present > crop is the smallest recorded since 1884, i with one exception, aggregating 243,076,- . j 549 bushels of sixty pounds each, 21,335,- ! 083 busfcals less than last year.”

Reporters as Detectives. In following up a murder case the reporters proceed very differently from the police. The first lesson in the primer of a re] lorter —the first, chief, and essential thing which he has to know and remember—is, “ Get the facts.” It is not within his province to apply or comment upon them. He is simply to secure the facts of a case which is of sufficient public interest to be reported, and to so arrange these that nothing essential shall be omitted and nothing superfluous put in. YVhat is superfluous can be easily cut out, but what is necessary can not always be supplied. Therefor the gathering of so much news and of too many facts is less an offense than the gathering of too few. When a newspaper man undertakes to get at the identity of tiie perpetrator or perpetrators of a murder he does not begin by suspecting anyone. He does not start with a theory. He does not open proceedings by assuming that this or that one might have committed tiie offense, or would have been capable of doing it, whether guilty in this particular instance or not. " Ho starts with the open presumption that the only thing actually known at the outset about a murder case is that some one has been killed. That known, tiie reporter seeks to get together all the facts attainable its to the killing. He is tireless in the collection of these. When they have been separated and divided he proceeds to the second stage of his inquiry, which is to ascertain the opinion of those who would be likely to have personal knowledge of any value. He seeks no motive for the crime, and does not feel that he is expected to supply one. When this work is all done, and every possible fact and condition of the situation is known, lie seeks to discover upon whom these facts reflect most strongly, and that done he thinks himself quite in the way of finding the criminal. And he generally is, for his conclusion is based on a solid foundation of facts, whereas the evidence of the detective is, in many cases, based only upon theories of his own.— New York Sun.

A short time ago a drummer from abroad called at a Bangor livery stable and wanted a double team for a ten days’ trip into the country, and the stableman refused to let him one. on the ground that he was a stranger. There was much discussion over the matter, and finally the drummer said: “What is your team worth?” “Four hundred and fifty dollars,” was the reply. “If I pay vou that sum for it, will you buy it back again when 1 return?” said the customer; and upon receiving an affirmative re]>iy ho promptly put up the cash. Ten days later he returned, and driving into the stable he alighted and entered the office, saying: "Well, here is your team and now I want my money back.” The sum was passed to him, and he turned and was leaving the place when the liveryman called out : "Look here, aren’t you going to settle for that team ?” "For what team?” asked the drummer iu a sui prised tone. “For I he one you just brought back.” “Well, now,” drawled the drummer, "you aren’t fool enough to think that I would pay anybody for the use of my own property, are you?” and he shook the dust of the [dace from his feet.

Honey bees are invading dwellings both in toYvn and out iu the valley. The new swarms are determined to find homes. The bees have taken a great notion to the residence of Rufus Kinney, in Truckee Meadows. They have literally taken possession of Mr. Kinney’s residence, transforming it into a vast apiary, and compelling the family to vacate ] ortions of the house, livery accessible part of the house is filled with bees; the Avails are transformed into hives, and at least a dozen colonies have lodged themselves under the building. The chambers are alive Avith them, and the pugnacious little rascals di:qiute with Hie owners every part (if the house from cellar to garret. And still from every quarter new swarms are daily coming. Some, days as many as three or four different colonies arrive, and despite the fact that. Mr. Kinney has already killed as many as twelve swarms this season, they are gaining rapidly on him, and he is now seriously contemplating the necessity of moving- out and leaving the bees in full possession of the. jiremises. Reports from other quarters show similar l>ut not so serious conditions. Dr. DaAvson has been obliged to smoke out tw o SAvarms from a chin ney.

Which of Three Young Ladies Was the Prettiest. Away up iu the Georgia mountains lies Catoosa Springs, a favorite summer resort of Savannah and Atlanta society people. Among the pines and breezes of the hills the fever and lassitude bred from the malarial air of the low country disappear like magic, day General Pierce Young saw au old fellow come up with a basket of eggs and a bunch of chickens for the hotel people, and recognized an old trooper of his command. “Jake,” he called out, “Jake Dorridge, how are you?” “Why, laws a massy, General, how-de-do? I han’t see ye sence the wah.” They chatted for a few minutes. „ “Do you come here often, Jake ( “Footy nigh every day. 'I ho folks want my chickens ’n’ aigs. 1 like to rest my eyes a lookin at some o these yer pooty gals.” “'Pliey arc liaudsomc, aven t Jako?” v “Deed they air.” “Now, Jake,” said General Young, Avaving his hand toward a group of three young ladies w ith Avhom he had been chatting, “tell me which of those three young ladies is the prettiest. “Aav, Gineral Young, they s all pooty. ’Twouldu’t be good manners for me to say ary one Avas pootier’n t’other.” “But, Jake, it will give them a great deal of pleasure to learn your opinion. They are great friends, and ay ill not feel at all hurt at your decision. Now, Avalk right up and pick out the best looking.’’ After much solicitation Jake undertook the task. He walked up and j eered closely at the laughing girls. About one hundred guests had gathered by this time to see the trial. Finally Jake turned scratching his head. All tluee of the young ladies Avore broad sashes around their waists. “Gineral Young, they’re all three so pooty it is hard to make a choice, but still I’m fo’ced to say that the one with the valler belly baud is a little the trimmest.” There Avas a scream, a flutter of white dresses and three blushing young ladies, Avith various colored sashes, dashed into the hotel and out of sight. Il'ashinyton Post. Confidence Begot of Success. So confident are tlie manufacturers of that Avorld-fumed remedy. Dr. Pierce s Golden Medical Discovery, that it will do all that thev represent, in the cure of liver, blood and lum? diseases, that, after witnessing its thousands of cures tor many years past, they now feel warranted iu selling it (as they are doing, through druggists) under a positive guarantee of its giving satisfaction in every case, or money paid for it will be refunded. No medicine of ordinary merit could bo sold under such severe conditions with profit to its proprietors, and no other medicine for the diseas-s for which it is rec.iunmended was ever before sold under a guarantee ot a cure, or no pay. In afl blood taints and impurities of whatever name or nature, it is most positive in its curative effects. Pimples, blotches, emotions and all skin and scalp diseases are radically cured bv this wonderful medicine. Bern ulous disease ma.v affect the glands, causing swellings or tumors; the bones, causing "fe-ver-sores," ■■white-swellings,” or “hip-joint disease;” or the tissues of the lungs, causing pulmonarv consumption. No matter in which one of its myriad forms it crops out. or manifests itself. "Golden Medical Discovery" will cure it if used pcrseveringly and in time. Its thousands of cures are the best advertisements lor Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy. How Tea Was Discovered. Tea Avas discovered almost by accident. Some Buddhist juiests, going on a missionary exjiedition from Northern India to China, took Avith them the dried leaves and also some cuttings of an indigenous shrub Avhieh Avas said to have the poAver of correcting any injurious properties in the brackish Avater they might meet Avith on the way. The decoction thus made pleased the missionaries so well that they continued as a matter of taste, to drink it after they reached China, and introduced it to their converts. They also set about planting the precious shrub, and, although it did not thrive so well in China, as in its native Assam, becoming smaller both in stem and leaf, it was so well liked that it soon formed the foundation of the favorite beverage of all China. Thence it Avas brought to Europe and finally became ' a universal beverage. Toads are not afraid of lightning.
