KomaroU Furnishes a Plea for the Bus
aUa'a to Hake New Demands.
Lon dan, May 15.—The St. Peters
burg Official Messenger to-day pub- i
llshes a report from General Koma
roff to the effect that the Sarlks are |
opposed to the new frontier lice pro- j
posed by England, claiming that it
is an infringement upon their rights,
and gives the best land in the dispu
ted territory to the Afghans. A
council of ministers was held, and
after thoroughly dicussing the sub
ject it was decided to support the
claims of the Sarifls. Further pour
parlours between England and Rus
sia will now be necessary, so that the
claims pf the Sariks may he consider
ed before the Anglo Russian agree
ment can be approved by Rus
sia.
A dispatch from St. Petersburg to
the journal Des Debates stales that
Russia has entirely rejected j the
British proposals. The same dis
patch also says that Russia will de
mand the right to have an acknowi
edged Russian representative at
Cahul, capital of Afghanistan. The
French diplomats think the latter
demands, it made, will prove more
serious than any frontier question.
Lord Edmund Fiizmaurico, under
foreign secretary, announced in the
hsusc of commons this afternoon
that Russia iiad nil yet sent any an
swer to the proposals. Ho added
that the government must refuse to
make public details of the negotia
tions between the two governments,
as these negotiations are still pro
ceeding.
Mr. Gladstone stated that Rutsia’s
reply to tlie preposals concerning
.'lie Afghan agreement had been
awaited let* some days. A portion
of the papers relating to the frontier
question would he circulated to-mor
row, hut as negotiations were incom
plete the papers would he “broken”
off at (lie Penjdcli incident. Con
cerning the business of the session.
Mr, Gladstoue said the government
intended to deal with the Scotch
crofter’s hill I lie Scottish secretary
hil| and the Irish crimes act. He
said he regrelcd that during the
present session it would be impossi
ble (o deal witli the local government
of Ireland bill, and the bill relating
to the purchase of the land in Ire
land.
In regard to the report tlint Russia
had given an Intimation of a demand
to have an acknowledged Rtly,sian
representative at Cahul, Mr. Glad
stone said he knew nothing. Refer
ring to tlie crime* act ho said he
would state, without entering into
details that the government intended
to embody the various provisions in
that act, which they deemed lo he
both valuable and equitable. This
statement was greeted with groans
by llie Parnelltte members. It would
he the duty of the government, con
tinued the premier lo press the house
to pass the bill into law. Were the
conditions more favorable, the gov
ernment would he most anxious to
deal with the question of local self
government in Ireland, and that of
land purchase in Ireland. Both
were measures towards which the
government fell they had fulfilled ob
ligations. It was with regret that
the government announced their ina
bility to ask the house to deal with
those measures during the present
session.
XR CLEVELAND'S DIVERSIONS.
As to summer work, the President
intends to do as much as he (lid while
Governor taking only n short vaca
tion. Most of ltis vacation will be
spent in Washington. The only
plcasuretrip he expects to make is a
fishing trip in northern New York,
and it ntav not be possible to do that.
The other day when I asked him
when lie intended 10 rest, lie said
that lie had more to do before Con
gress convened than lie possibly
could do, and that lie needed every
moment that ho could timl. He lio|Hts
to be acquainted with the business
of the executive office before Decem
ber so that his tlrst message can be
written with a good understanding
of the subjects to which it relate*.
The President now work* many
hours each day, but his health is
good, lie seldom neglects his daily
drives, and he enjoys them greatly.
The country is new to him and near
ly every day lie is able to take a dit
ferent drive. Thus far ho Itas not
left the White House grounds once
on foot, yet in Albany he was verv
fond of walking. He never rides on
horseback, and I doubt if,he knows
how.—New York Post.

THE JIMSO* WEED,

Husband.
(Marietta Journal.)
Last week a young iu*u, cans* in
from the country and stated to Dr. W.
K. Root that hi* wife, to whom ha had
been married about thirteen iuodllis,
| hid atwtripled lo poison him. He
said that on morning of the day
that he was dosed his wife insisted
on visiting her father some miles
away. He remonstrated and told her
that there were indications of rain
aad if the did she would get wet, and
therefore she had better not go. She
appeared angry and said go site
would, and further remarked that if
he lived after the day she would
never live with him again. lie went
to work as usual and at nom return
ed lo flic house for his dinner, which
lie found prepared for him hut his
wife was absent. He placed the food
on the table and began to partake of
his repast, when lie discovered that ids
bread had a dark color and a very
hitter taste. In his hunger lie ale a
good size piece of it. He began to
feci dizzy and an acute burning -eii
satiou seized ids stomach, lie drank
copiously of water, but this did not
allay the feeling. He begun to feel
like he was going to die, hut alter
aw hile he got better and the had
feeling wore off. lie was a li'lle sits
piciuli. of the bread and gave a pig * n
the yard a piece of it and shortly
afterward lie noiicet’. it began to turn
around and stagger ah .ui. The piys
then vomited up the bread, which
had turned perfectly green. lie was
satisfied then that the bread was
poisoned. He examined it and found
that it had been worked up villi
“Jim-on weed” juice some ot the
leaves being discernible, lie brought
a piece of the bread (o town and left
it with Dr. Root for him to analyze.
The young man plieges that his wife
is the guilty party awl that ho in
tends mat she shall suffer for her
felonious attempt u>*u liis life.

Mr. B. O. Bean, passenger agent on
the Mobile and Ohio railroad, writing
'from Miss., says:
‘■X haue seen Swift's Specific used
as a wash for ulcers atid pimples wltu
the most gratifying results. Asa
blood purifier it drives the poison to
lit* surface, and then used as a wash, it
absorbs and drysttp the sores. I have
seen it used in cases of blood poison,
and skin eruptions, and these disease
disappear in one-half the time that it
ordinarily takes by the usual meth
od.'’
Mrs. Oliver Hardman, of Monroe,
Ga. who lias had a cancer cured on
her face says : ‘T used Swift's Site
cific a* a wash in the treatment of my
cancer with remarkable succcsg, I
sponged the sore with the medicine
diluted with a little water. It soften
ed the scab, coo'ed the face aud re
lieved the itohitig sensation.”
We have received assurances from
others of the excellent character of
the medicine as a wash, in cases like
those referred to above. We give

A SAD JUXTAPOSITION*
A rotaisier well known by lame
ihrougtipßttheland, who ha* one of
the bc#p*4p!ied houses of worship
was showing a friend, not long since
through its various rooms, when they
came to the kitebeu, which was con
nected by a speaking-tube with the
pastor’s study. On the wall was
printed in large letters. “The Lord
will provide,” while in smaller letters
on the same wall near the mouth
piece of the tube was the direction
"Blow and wait for answer.” The
visitor naturally asked if ilia two in
scriptions had any particular eonnec
i Jon with one another; and it is hard
ly neccessary to say that a change
was soon made in the lettering.
Rev. Henry AVabd Beecuer, in
his annual sermon Sunday to the
Thirteenth Regiment of Brooklyn, of
which he is Chaplain, look Ihe Barth
oldi statuo pedestal for Ins subject, and
made an earnest appeal for contribu
tions. In opening his sermon he
made a conspicuous and curious blun-;
der by saying. “In our land lie that
can vote is a citizen, and he that can
not vote is not a citizen.” Mr. Bcecli
was hiiusclf a citizen of the country
for twenty-one years before he was
allowed to vole, and Mrs. Beecher,
who lias been a citizen for nearly
lltree quarters of a century, ia not yet
a voter. Mr. Beecher does not keep
well up in law matters.
