THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Their Wonderful Growth During the Last Decade. Commissioner of Education Dawson, in his annual report, says that during the decade from 1876 to 1887 the growth of the public school system has outstripped the increase in population Lb per cent. The gain is mainly in the South, where the school system shows an unparalleled development. The colored citizens are apportioned an equal share of the school funds, unless in the State of Delaware, and their scoools are kept open as long and under as well paid teachers as those of the white children, ihe funds tor the support of these schools are furnished mainly by the white inhabitants, and after making due allowa nee A.or all the sums that have been furnished lor the education of the negroes through private sources and through the taxes raised among themselves, it may still be said that the children of those once held in servitude in the South are being educated by the sons of their former masters. HORROR IN JAPAN. Ten Thousand Orientals Meet Death in Floods. Japanese papers received at San Francisco place the total number of persons drowned in the floods of Aug. 20 in the city of Wakayamo and in the districts of Minami-Muro, Higashi-Muro, Nishi-Muro, and Hidaka at 10,000, and the number of persons receiving relief at 30,425. The river Kinokum swelled from thirteen to eighteen feet above the normal level and the v illage of Iwahashi was washed away. About forty-eight other hamlets were covered by the raging waters. The morning of Aug. 19 an enormous mass of earth tell from a mountain near the village of Tennokawa, stopped the course of the river of the same name, which, bein^ swollen, overflowed, submerging the village and drowning nearly all the inhabitants.

After Eighteen Days’ Work a Third of the Jury Is Secured. Four jurors in the Cronin case at Chicago have at last been secured. They are James Pierson of Glenwood, farmer; John Culver of Evanston, real estate dealer; James L. Hall of Fernwood, architectural draughtsman; and Charles C. Dix, 132 North Carpenter street, tire insurance agent. It is a curious coincidence that each of these men was originally tendered by the defense. KILLED IN THEIR HOME. Six Members of a Jewish Family in Hungary Slain by Robbers. The residence of a Jewish family of six persons, in Szathmar, Hungary, was entered by a band of robbers. The outlaws attacked the inmates with hatchets, mutilating them in a feaiful manner and killing the entire party. When their bloody work was finished they searched j the house and carried oil - all the valua- j bles. MORE YELLOW FEVER ARRIVES, j Landing in Brooklyn of a Finn Afflicted with the Dread L'ise; se. Isaac Elonex, a 32-year-old Finn, has lauded in Brooklyn from the steamer Alvo, from Costa Rica. He was sick j from yellow fever. The man who was ; taken from the Fonda a few days ago, and ; who died, as t is thought, from yellow | fever, was Joseph Pennell, a native of j Kansas, where n is said he left a family. I Arrival of the Chinese Ambassador. Among the arrivals at San Francisco on the steamer Gaelic from Hong Kong J and Yokohama was T .ey Gwok Ying, j recently appointed Chinese ambassador , to the United States, who is en route to | Washington. He is accompanied by a ; large delegation of Chinese dignitaries. Total Wreck in Kansas, c By the derailing of a train on the “Frisco” line, near Leon, Kan., one man was instantly killed. Over a dozen other passengers were injured, four of whom it is thought were fatally hurt. Prize Fighter Held for Murder. Ed Ahearn, the principal in a fatal prize fight at St. Louis, has been held without bail to answer a charge of murder. The referee, time-keepers, seconds, etc., have been held as accessories. EASTERN OCCURRENCES. An excursion train from Elmira, N. Y., south, carrying seven coaches, ran into a Fallbrook engine, at Tioga Junction, causing a fearful wreck, killing and injuring in all about twenty-five persons. The train was coming down a heavy grade, and owing to the slippery track [ and the refusal of the air brakes to work the engineer was unable to stop the train at the station, and it rushed by, । crashing into one of the 1 allbrook heacy jumbo engines, completely demolishing both. The smoker and three passengercars were smashed into kindling wood. The wreck caught fire and it was with difficulty that some of the passengers were rescued from the burning wreck. Stretchers were quickly provided and the wounded were carried to neighboring houses. The names of the dead are: Eugene Daighue, newsboy; Harry Oliver, of Union, N. Y. The wounded number over a score. Della Walker, agod 19 years, drowned herself at Langdon, N. H. Thecause is a mystery. She was an intimate friend and classmate of two joung ladies who committed suicide last winter. The two Nicely brothers, who were confined in jail at Somerset, Pa., under sentence of death for the murder of Farmer

Hamburger, overpowered the Sheriff, and ! when the Deputy Sheriff went to his assistance one of the brothers, who had ob- I tained possession of the Sheriff’s revol- i ver, shot the Deputy, inflicting a serious I wound. The murderers then made their ! [ escape and have not been recaptured. । The breast of the large dam of the ' | Kennebec Ice Company at Hibernia, Pa., | ' burst, and a tremendous amount of water rushed down the Brandywine, overflow- ; ing the banks and sweeping everything before it. The large bridge whibh crosses the Brandywine just below J the dam was swept away, and ! several frame buildings were car- i ried down to Coatesville. Several of the streets of Coatesville are four feet ; under water. The people living along the ■ stream were warned by the sound of the ; rushing waters and escaped to the hills, i So far as heard from no lives have been j lost. In places the meadows are covered ' to the depth of eight and ten feet. The | break was caused by a heavy fall of rain. At a convention of piano and organ ' I manufacturers in New York, for tho pur- - pose of forming a protective association. ■ a committee, headed by George A. Stem- ' way,* was appointed to consider plans, ; perfect the organization, and induce | manufacturers to join it. Near Shamokin, Pa., Alfred Crow and John Tocas were fatally, and John Mur- | phy and William Calvin seriously, burned ' by an explosion of gas in the Neilson shaft. The explosion was caused by Tooas’ carelessness. The will of tho late Professor Elias ' Loomis, of New Haven, Conn., bequeaths tho bulk of the estate, valued at from §250,000 to §300,000, to Y'ale University, to be known as the Loomis Fund. This is the second largest gift ever made to Yale. WESTERN HAPPENINGS. While Sunday school services were being held in a small frame church five ! miles south of Columbia City, Ind., i lightning struck the spiro and coursed down through the roof, striking and in- | stautly killing two girls, each aged 17, who i were sitting together in the center of I their class. The ten other childrenin the class were badly stunned, but not seriously injured. The names of the children were Mary Ilockenreier and Agnes Freyer. The other inmates of the building did not experience any shock. The stage between Forest Hill and Auburn, Cal., was stopped by one masked man, who demanded Wells, Fargo & Co.’s treasure box. The box was given him and he escaped with it. It is not known how much it contained. At San Francisco, in the Nagle habeas corpus case, Judge Sawyer has decided that the Federal Court had jurisdiction in the matter, that the killing of Teriy was justifiable, and ordered Nagle released from custody As soon as the reading of the decision was concluded Attorney | Langhorne, on behalf of the State, gave : notice of an appeal, and asked that the I prisoner be placed under bail. Judge i Sawyer allowed the defendant to bo re- • leased on his own recognizance with a ■ §5,000 bail. Nagle was congratulated by • a large number of people after his release. Governor Thayer of Nebraska has issued a proclamation quarantining Nebraska against the importation of cattle : from Logan and Weld Counties, Colorado, because there is said to be Texas fever in that region. A thirty-five foot deposit of firstclass yellow ochre has been found at Hustings, Neb., 235 feet below the surface. At Omaha the flouring mills of Oskamp & Haines were consumed by fire. The loss was §25,000; insurance, §12,000. Mrs. Annie Gaba and her baby were burned to death at San Frmcisco Monday evening, and her two other children burned fatally, it is feared, by the explosion of a lamp which the baby had upset. The stockholders of the Minneapolis, St. Paul aud Sault Ste. Marie Road have elected directors, who chose Thomas Lowry, President; R. B. Langdon, Vice President, and M. P. Hawkins, Secretary and Treasurer. Veterans from Kansas, Missouri, lowa and Nebraska attended the interstate reunion of soldiers and sailors at Sabetha, Kan. Thousands of citizens were present. THE NATIONAL, CAPITAL. Following is commissioner Tanner’s i letter of resignation and President Har- ■ rison's reply thereto. Department of the Interior, i Bureau of Pensions, > Washington, D. C., Sept. 12, 1889. ) To the President: The differences which exist between the Secretary of the Interior and myself as to the policy to be pursued in the administration of the । Pension Bureau have reached a stage which threatens to embarrass you to an extent which I I feel I should not call upon you to suffer, and as the investigation into the affairs of the | bureau have been completed, and lam assured, I both by yourself and by the Secretary of the Interior, contains no reflection on my integrity as an individual or as an officer, I herewith place my resignation in your hands, to take effect at your pleasure, to the end that you may be relieved of any further embarrassment in the matter. Very respectfully yours, James Tanner, Commissioner. Executive Mansion, Washington. D. C. I September 12, 1889. | To Hon. James Tanner, Commissioner of Pensions : Dear Sir— Your letter tendering your resignation of the office of Commissioner of Pensions has been received and your resignation is accepted, to take effect on the appointment and qualification of your successor. Ido not think if necessary, in this correspondence, to discuss the causes which have led to the present attitude of affairs in the Pension Office. You have been kindly and fully advised of my views upon most of these matters. It gives me pleasure to add that so far as 1 am advised your honesty has not at any time been called into question, and I beg to renew the expression of my personal good-will. Very truly yours, Benjamin Harbison. POLITICAL PORRIDGE. Major William Warner of Kansas City will not be the next Peusion Com- 1 missioner. He was tendered tho position, ■ and after thinking it all over he told the ! President at Deer Park that he could not s accept it for business reasons. He was strongly pressed by Mr. Harrison to take the place, and his declination is a disappointment. Another selection will not probably be made for two or three weeks. The race is an open one, and no candij date has any assurance that he will be ‘ chosen. It is the general opinion that ' Judge John P. Rea, of Minneapolis, is : more to the President’s liking than any one else, and the Minnesota people are 1 coming to the front for him. Mr. Brown, of Cincinnati; Gen. Powell, of Illinois, ; and Maj. Poole, of New York, are known to be doing all they can for the place. I The New Jersey Republican State Convention nominated General E. B. Grubb for Governor. The resolutions constituting the platform reaffirm the Republican national platform of 1888 and express confidence in President Harrison. The paper deals almost entirely with local interests. The Australian ballot system is indorsed and, without doing so directly, the convention practically declared in favor of local option. ACROSS THE OCEAN. The great strike which has paralyzed | London for several weeks, and at times menaced it with riot and bloodshed, has at last been ended through the mediation

■WMMawwaKMawHaMMMniMaMiaBaMMHi ! of Cardinal Manning. At the final conference, the Cardinal submitted definite i proposals from the strikers, the chief I point being that the payment of increased wages should commence on Nov. 4, and : the terms were accented by the dock j I companies, after a protracted debate, in which the Cardinal urged the duty , of the Directors to concede the demand and thus restore the city to tranquillity, i Work will accordingly be resumed at I ! once. There is an almost unanimous | I agreement of opinion that the amicable ! and mutually creditable settlement of the i j trouble, now apparently secured, is eni tirely due to the untiring effortsand great i sagacity of Cardinal Manning, who voluntarily took the part of mediator be- ; tween the obstinate contending parties. Chakir Pasha, the Governor of Crete, has issued a fresh proclamation to the 1 ! Cretans, threatening with severe punish- J ment any one assisting the insurgents. Gen. Boulanger has issued a violent I final manifesto. His lists show 1,800 candidates for 500 anondissements. They ■ will eutail numerous ballotings. The ‘ manifesto remains placarded throughout Paris, the Government seemingly being convinced that removal would only increase the publicity given the manifesto. Al. Ferry says that the revision of the Constitution means civil war. FRESH AND NEWSY It is reported that Miss Margaret Blaiue, daughter of tho Cabinet officer, will marry Walter J. Damrosch, son of the late Dr. Leopold Damrosch, the eminent musical composer. The official aunouncemei t of the details of the new financial scheme of the Northern Pacific Railroad has been made. It provides for a blanket mortgage of §1(50,000,000, of which branch-line bonds will require §2G,000,000, tributary roads §)3,000,000, and terminal betterments, etc., §34,000,003. The most important feature is a provision to pay a cash dividend of 1 per cent, on the preferred stock Jan. 1, 1890, and quarterly dividends thereafter at the rate of 1 per cent per quarter. R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: Scarcely a week has raised since Government ■ purchases of bonds and heavy payments made tho street certain that there could be no monetary pressure this fall. Now people are talking again about possible exports in gold, foreign ex- : change is higher, and rates for money have advanced. The exports of products are remarkably large for the season—for the two weeks 40 per cent, above last year’s—but the imports of merchandise are also heavy, and the unrecorded imports of securities returned from abroad tend to turn the scales. At every Western and Southern center mquey is in fair supply, with a demand generally good, but brisk at Milwaukee and such at Glucapo that an advance in rates is expected. The violent storm has disturbed business not a little along the sea coast, aud affected purchases for the interior, but in all other respects tho week has been one of satisfactory business. Nearly nil interior cities report trade as active or improving. Though the Governmentcrop report was thought slightly unfavorable, other , accounts all coticur in Satisfactory views, and 1 the course of trade at interior points manifests the confidence of local dealers, llje wool market is nominally firm, but if manufacturers refuse to buy the expected lower prieesvill come. The grocery tra le has been much affect;<l by the wet;liter and sugar is also weak, lied by tho conviction that a fall inpends. Breadstulis hate been eoniparttlitclv inactive; wheat is half ac< a higher, and corn a quart er lower. Coflec advanced another half cent, and oil 2 cents, but In g and lard are lower. On the whole speculation in products is making unusually little disturbance this year, and he large crops are therefore all th< more likely to go into consumption promptly and at moderate prices. The business failures during the last seven days number for the United States 170, and for Canada 23. For the corresponding week of last year the figures were 199 for the United Slates and 27 in Canada. The following weather crop bulletin has been issued by the signal office: The last week was warmer than usual over the corn and cotton regions and generally on the Atlantic coast, the daily excess of temperature in the central valleys ranging from 3to 9 degrees, while on the Atiaiitic coa-: hi out the normal temperature prevsfli'd. It was elder than usual from Dakoiaw, stwiird to the I’aciflo coast. There has been less than the usual amount of rain during the week throughout the principal ngrieultuial districts. Tie re were excessive rains over limited area in the Northwest, including Northern Missouri. Eastern Kansas. I astern Dakota Western Minnesota, and Southeastern lo,va. In the remaining States of the Upper Mississippi and Missouri Valleys well distributed showers are reported, while no rain occurred in the lower lake re- ; gion, the Ohio Valley, and lower Michigan. The weather during the week was (specially favorably throughout the corn be lt. Cutting of corn is in progn >s and a large percentage of an excellent corn crop is now safe from frost, liecent rains placed the grounds in a favorable condition for plowing in the States of tho Mississippi 'alley, but fall farm work is delayed in Michigan. Ohio, and Indiana, owing to the absence of rain. The prospects of the cotton crop have been improved by favorable weather. lieports from Kentucky indicate a fair crop of tobacco if not damaged by frost, i The weather conditions were favorable on the Pacific const for hop picking, prune drying, and fall seeding.

HAVOC OF THE WAVES.' LATEST REPORTS OF THE GREAT’ EASTERN STORM. The Damage of Sea Isle City, N. J.—Destruction Along Chesapeake Bay—Missing Vessels that Have Reported at Various Harbors — A Summer Resort Submerged. Latest reports of the storm along the Atlantic coast bring additional news of the destruction of life and property. At Sea Isle City, N. J., the sea wall, of which so much was expected, lias been washed away except a small portion in front of the Continental hotel. The cottages of Senator Crouse and Charles Ricker are gone. The latter was abandoned by Henry Burke and his family just two hours befor it fell. The Shakspeare - house is demolished, Struther’s hotel j wrecked, the Excursion house undermined, ’ and the New Line house broken in two. Kennan’s Star of the Sea bath houses are damaged; an unfinished house situated back of the Continental hotel has been turned around; the Continental has been propped; H. 1,. Thomas’ c ttage is wrecked; E. W. Crullen’s house is under- , mined, and the railroad to Ocean City broken. The lighthouse at the north of the island is tilted and has been abandoned by the keeper and his family, who were I taken out of it from the upper floors by tho life-saving corps. The old life-saving station was blown over and crushed in the side of the new station, which stood back of it. Only one man is missing—George i Sayers. It is related of him that during ' the height of the storm he saw his yacht in danger of going to sea. He jumped in to save it, and was carried out into the ocean, and has not been heard of since. At Atlantic City, N. J., tho German ship Geestermunde, Capt. Lenthe, is aground on Absecon leach. She left Stettin July 14 for Philadelphia, loaded with cement and empty coal-oil barrels, The great storm has played havoc on the eastern shore of Chesapeake bay jat Onancock, Va. Fridges have been swept away, telegraphic wires blown down, lowlands invaded, and crops ruined. The wind blew a hurricane and the tide rosi to * an enormous height, completely submerging the wharves at Onanco k. Reports : from the Metompkin life-saving station j are to the effect that the beach has been ; badly washed and that the station is in immediate danger of being carried into the ocan by the heavy breakers. Lumber is now being haul >d to save the build- ■ ing. I anterns were dashed by the waves frem the hands of the patrolmen as they , patrolled the teach. The United States cruiser Atlantic has arrived at Newport. L. I. She left New York last Monday morning and had since been standing off the shore, lying off and on, in order to weather the gale. She took j some seas and was pretty wet, but behaved admirably, surprising even the officers | themselves. The wind was so strong aud the sea so high that sometimes for several ! hours not an inch of progress could be made with six boilers going. The New Y’ork and Savannah line steamer Chattahoochie. bound for New A ork, for whose safety there were fears, is at New Castle, Ihd., f>r coal and provisions. She has thirty passengers aboard, many of whom started by train for New York. The Cromwell line steamer Knickerbocker, due at New York city Tuesday, arrived Friday morning after a dangerous voyage. So heavy was the storm on Tuesday that many on board feared the vessel would founder. Several of tho crew and passengers were injured by the careening of the vessel, and everything movable on deck wa- earned away. The win 1 had a velocity of thirty-one miles an hour in New \ ork. The velocity at I'lock Island was forty two miles, at 1 hiladelphia thirty miles, and at Boston t weiry-two mil n. The heaviest rain tall in the country has been experienced in New Y'ork. The down-pour for twentyfour hours was 2.4 G inches. The damage suffered by the shipping mte est of the city has been very severe. Ship news is very difficult to obtain, as all telegraphic communication with quarantine and Sandy Hook are cut off. Tho gale drove all incoming vessels off the coast, and several days may elapse before they return. The fog, which has enveloped tho lower bay for several days, is clearing away, and the long-delayed steamships are coming up to the city. Ail the overdue European steamers are crowded with seasick foreigners. A Philadelphia dispatch says: Waterloo, a summer resort on the Delaware bay, is entirely submerged, and out of twenty cottages in the place one belonging to Dr. Hearn of Philadelphia, is the onlj' one remaining. HONORS TO GEN. GRANT. A Notable Celebration ar Fort Leavenworth, Kan.- Imposing Ceremonies. The statue of Gen. Grant was unveiled at Fort Leavenworth. Kan., last Saturday. Excursions had arrived from the adjoining States of Missouri and Nebraska, and the city was taxed to its utmost to entertain the thousands of visitors. The occasion was made a holiday. The public buildings in the city were suitably decorated, and from each staff on the front floated the National colors. The special trains which were to carry tho people to the fort, where the government troops were drawn up to receive them, entered, and the procession formed and marched to the grounds at the fort, where the monument stands. There the troops were massed around the veiled figure. Behind them were stationed the G. A. R. posts and uniformed societies. The Rev. E. F. Holland, chaplain of the department of the G. A. R. in Kansas, opened the ceremonies with prayer. Brig.-Gen. Wesley Merritt, U. S. A., commanding the department of the Missouri, reviewed the work of the Grant monument committee, of which he is president, and .explained how the cost of the tribute had been defrayed by public subscript ons taken in all parts of the country. Then, while the Sixth regiment band played the national air. the General stepped forward and, amid the applause of the multitude, unveiled the statue. As the veil fell to the ground there was revealed to the spectators a statue of imposing design and artistic execution. It consists of a bronze military figure of heroic size and nine feet high upon a polished granite pedestd of equal height. Thj left foot is slightly advanced, and the left hand holds a naner of o t'cial appearance, toward which the right forefinger is pointing. A slouch hat covers the head. The figure is draped in a long military coat, the cape being thrown back over the shoulders. The pedestal of the statue is a monolith four feet s juare and five feet high, tho top being encircled with a wreath of bay leaves in relief. On the iront is a tablet inscribed with the names of the battles in which Grant was engaged. The rear of the monolith bears e piestrian figures of Grant and his aids-de-camp in relief. After the statue was unveiled orations were delivered by Senator Ingalls of Kansas, Gen. C. VZ. Blair of Topeka, and the Rev. Henry Smith, chaplain of the post at Leavenworth. Maj. William Warner of Kansas City, ex-commander of the G. A. R., was on the program, but private business in Washington prevented his being present. Mussulmans -nd Hindoos at War. A Simla dispatch says: During the celebration of a religious festival at Rontak the Mussulmans and Hindoos became involved in religious disputes which led to rioting. The police were compelled to interfere to stop the fighting, but before they succeded many of the rioters were shot by the officers. The Mussulmans at Delhi, forty-two miles northwest of Rontak, are organizing to avenge the insults put upon them by the Hindoos.

A Wink Which Didn't Count. “But the quickest drink I ever took vi as in our New Jersey watering place —Asbury l’ark. They practice prohibition there to a painful extent, so that a man will take great chances when he’s very dry. A friend and nvself were instructed to go to a certain druggist whose reputation for lawful dealings was not unsullied, and to call for soda with ipecac, at the same time winking with the left eye, whereupon we would receive what we wanted. We went to the apothecary. “ ‘What’ll you have’?’ said he. “ ‘Soda with ipecac,’ said we, as we simultaneously depressed our left eyelids. “He obligingly went to the other end of the shop, returned with a decantercontaining a delicious-looking, ruby- ! colored fluid, poured three fingers of it into each glass, filled the same with soda water, ami passed the foaming draughts across the counter. “ ‘Regards,’said Chaney, as Jie lifted the beverage to his lips. “ ‘Same to you,’ said I, and we buried our noses in the fragrant froth. But it was an unfamiliar fragrance. We set our glasses down. “ ‘What did you put in this ?” I asked the druggist, who was methodically wiping off the counter. “ ‘lpecac,’ he replied, with freezing nonchalance. “ ‘lpecac!’ exclaimed Charley, in a horrified tone. “ ‘lpecac. That’s what you asked for, wasn't it - ?” “I threw down a quarter, and, without waiting for change or saving another word, we bolted and made for the wild and lonely seashore, where I U !l1- ’ ley, who had tahen the largest gul| of the infernal mixture, practically illustrated the physiological effect of an emetic. The psychological effect of that adventure clings to me still. I , am opposed to all subterfuges iu this business. ” — Boston He raid. Hibbard’s Rheuimitie Syrup. There is certainly something remarkable in this preparation, as it is meeting with a success never attained by any other medicine. It never tails if used as directed. For over twenty years I have been a great i sufferer from the effects of a diseased stomach, and for t hree years past have been unable to do business. Two years ago my I case was pronounced incurable. I visited different water cures and climates, all to no purpose. Last June I beuan taking Hibbard’s Rheumatic Syrup (prepared by Rheumatic Syrup Co.. Jackson, Mich.), i and at once began to feel better. I have used thirteen bottles and am a well man. Edward Baker, Master Mechanic and Blacksmith, 202 Jackson street, Jackson, Mich. A curious ferryboat is building for the River Clyde at Glasgow. Instead of requiring movable landing stages or bridges to meet the rise and fall of the tide, the deck of the boat itself will be movable, carried on six hydraulic elevators, by which it can be raised or lowered. The boat will be a doubleemler 150 feet long, of fifty-five feet beam and twelve feet six inches draft. There Are No Happy Days For these who continue to rise unrefreshed after nights of unrest. Nervousness, insomnia, indigest ion- these constitute a triple alliance that perpetually wars against man’s comfort, and robs both brain and body of tranquillity. Combat the trio for a time with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, and it will give ground and eventually fly the field. Tho basis of reform is the rectification of digestion, for tho brain and nerve trouble is simply a reflex of the disturbance of that all-important function. A wlmglassful before each meal of tho national stomachic insures facile digestion, and a repetition of the pleasant dose before retiring promotes m c.e and muscle invigorating sleep. Associated with indigestion I we usually find bilioasnes- and constipation. But together or independent of each other those maladies are subjugated by the Bitters, which also remedies kidney trouble, rheumatism, neuralgia and malaria. — When the Seminole Indians of Flor- j ida elect a chief, they choose the biggest tighter and most successful hunter of the tribe.

Iler Face Was Iler Fortune. She was as pretty as a picture, and so animated and lively that it did one good to look at her. She was alt this, but she is not now. Poor soul, the roses linger no more in her cheeks—the former luster of her eyes is gone. She is a woe-begone looking piece of humanity now. She has one of those troubles so common to women, and needs Dr, Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It recuperates the wasted strength, puts the whole system right, restores the roses and the luster, and makes the woman what she once was, bright, well and happy. . "Favorite Prescription" is the only medicine for women sold by druggists under a positive guarantee from the manufacturers that It will give satisfaction in every case, or money will be refunded. This guarantee has been printed on the bottle wrapper, and faithfully carried out for many years. — For all derangements of the liver, stejmach and bowels, take Dr. Pierce’s Pellets. One a dose.

From t|me to time many inventions and devicegM have been placed upon the market claiming to cuntMl catarrh, neuralgia, bronchitis, etc., many of arc said to contain electric, or magnetic curathwlM powers. -8 Dr. Palmer is a gentleman who has devoted a liflM of study to the subject ot catarrh and diseases.ofttu 3 head, throat, and lungs, and some time since commenced a series ot experiments with a view to ''a determining whether any combination could be a formed which would kill the parasite and act as a fl healing power at the same time, and at length suolW ceeded in determining th at menthol, when com bine®| with magnetism, would do so, but how to arraodH these seemingly opposite agents so as to render® their use convenient and effectual was a questiondaM some difficulty. At leug'h he succeeded iu confining M within a vulcanite tube three inches long andabo^M three-quarters of an inch in diameter a perfect laag-® netic battery in the form if a coil of steel wire. ajSj the interior of this battery is stored a fine grade imported menthol. The ends of the tube are cloae|H bv nickel caps, which, when removed, admit of tb^B free inhalation of the electro meutholizedair. The I menthol acts as a germacide, while the luagnetox® e.eetrie force stimulating the weakened nerves of a the diseased parts into Ik althy action forms a won® dertul healing power, thereby successfully stoppiM my further depredations. ; The fumes when inhaled are refreshing and coobing. and for the immediate relief and speedy cureot 1 catarrh, cold in the head, hay fever, headache, ralgia. catarrhal deafness, etc., it is umuiualed. ® it cures headache in live minutes.
