The N. Y. Herald's Washington corres
pondent reports that in Congress the
question is no longer whether the tariff
shall be revised, but who shall get the
chill knock glory and credit of doing it. The Re
publican voters having read the mes
sage and the Blaine cable, seem to de
mand tariff reform to so considerable an
extent, especially in some Northwestern
and banner Uenublican States, that Sen-
aters and Representatives are staggered,
and the correspondent believes both par
ties will rush for tariff revision.
Salt, lumber, tin plates, sonic Repub
lican .Senators and Representatives are
i ( j e . ! already willing to put on the free list.
That is very good for a beginning, and
gives us hope that Republican votes in
both houses will help add to the list free
wool, free copper and iron ores, free
coal, free chemicals and dye stuffs—in
short, free raw materials. That is the
sure wav to strike off surplus taxes and
• to make American manufacturers pros-
! perous and American wages high.

The Italian minister of justice, Big.
,°" I Zanardelli, has just drawn up a new
“ criminal code from which capital punish
ment has been omitted. There is a good
deal of speculation in Italy as to whether
the legislature will finally abolish the
punishment of death. Three times within
tha last twenty years the chamber of
deputies has voted for its abolition, but
in each case the senate has refused to
confirm the vote. Since King Humbert
ascended the throne there baa not been
an execution, and it is argued that it is
absurd and undignified to retain in the
code a penalty which is never applied.
To this it is naturally objected that King
Humbert will not live forever; that suc
ceeding monorchs may be less tender
hearted, or that some serious outbreak of
women in | crime against the person might render it
' " necessary to make an example. It bn.
more than once happened that when cap
ital punishment has been abolished it has
been found necessary to re-establish it.

ward was wrecked on Endcrly island,
one cf the Auckland group. She had a
crew of twenty-one hands and one pas
senger. and in attempting to reach tho
reef the captain, both mates, and twelve
of the crew were drowned. The re
maining seven endured all sorts of
hardships, living chiefly on sheU-
fish. The shipwrecked people ex
plored the island, found a hut and a pint
Bottle of salt, and lived there for nearly
three months, when the; accidentally
discovered an old ax head in the sand,
with which they immediately set to work
to make n boat, in which, when finished,
they set off for Port Ross, which was in
sight. They were unable to reach it,
but were w en, rescued, and transferred
to the mainland on the lllth of July, and
subsequently landed at Melbourne on the
22d of Septemlier. They had been given
up for lust. While on the islaud tho
men made a fire by tbo explosion of a

An Unusual Atrocity.
A police court at Vienna, Austria, had
a case of unusual atrocity to deal with.'
A porter and a waiter at tho Hotel Vic
toria had pushed a cat into a pipe. The
tube was so narrow that the body of the
poor beast nearly filled it, and the cat
coaid not move. In that position the
two men poured boiling water into tho
pipe, slowly boiling the poor creature to
death. The fearful cries of the tortured
animal at last attracted attention, and the
two scoundrels were taken before the
magistrate.—Chicago Herald.

our houses far more dangerous anil
destructive. Host people have in
their own stomachs a poison, more
slow, but quite as fatal aa the germs
of those maladies which sweep men
into eternity by thousands without
warning in the times of great epi
demics. Hut it is a mercy that, if
we are watchful, we can tell when
we are threatened The following
are among tbe symptoms, yet they
do not always necessarily appear in
the same order, nor are they always
tho same in different cases. There
is a dull and sleepy feeling; a bail
taste in the mouth, especially in the
morning; the appetite is change
able, sometimes poor and again it
seems as though the patient could
not eat enough, and occasionally no
appetite at all; dullness and slug
gishness of the mind; no ambition
to study or work; more or less head
ache and heaviness in the bead;
dizziness on rising to the feet or
moving suddenly; furred and coat
ed tongue; a sense of a load on the
stomach that nothing removes; hot
end dry skin at times; yellow tinge
intbejjyes; scanty and high-colored
urine; sour taste in the mouth, fre
quently attended by palpitation of
tiie heart; impaired vision, with
spots that seem to bo swimming in
the air before the eyes; a cough,
with a greenish-colored expecto
ration; poor nights’rest; a sticky
dime about the teeth and gums;
hands and feet cold and clammy;
irritable temper and bowels bound
up and costive. This disease has
puzzled the physicians and still puz
zles them. It is the commonest of
ailments and yet the most compli
cated and mysterious. Sometimes
it is treated as consumption, some
times as liver complaint, and then
igain os malaria and even heart dis
ease. But its real nature is that of
constipation and dyspepsia. It arises
in the digestive organs and soon
affects all the others through the
corrupted and poisoned blood.
Often the whole body—including
the nervous system—is literally
starved, even when there is no
emaciation to tell the sa*d story.
Experience has shown that there is
put one remedy that can certainly
cure this disease in all its stages,
namely, Shaker Extract of Roots or
Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup. It
never fails but, nevertheless, no time
should lie lost in trying other so-
called remedies, for they will do no
good. Get this great vegetable
preparation, (discovered by a vener
able nurse whose name is a house

to get the genuine article.

A PREHISTORIC IMAGE.
poqeWhich the
to servo, can only be explained by those
versed in antiquity. A human head upon
a bird like body with a fan tail, carved
in stone, describes the appearance
of a work that bears all tho evi
dence of prehistoric origin. The face is
purely Egyptian. Across the head is
cast something resembling an amice
placed in such a manner as to reveal tho
entire forehead. Tho imago is formed
in such a manner as to be fairly balanced
upon a base tapering from the middle of
tho body. Tho base is round and hol
lowed to a depth of about two inches,
tapering in conelike form. A raised rim
on tho top or upper part of the body hol
lowed in liko manner and of the sarno
dimensions as the hollow in tho base, in
tersects a hole drilled at right angles with
that bored through tho upper part of tho
body.
The figure is twelve and one-half inches
long and nine and three-quarter inches
high. Its weight is twenty-one pounds.
The figure is perfect of its kind. There
* a small fracture in tho tail, and a cut
in the lower left cheek. The proportions
of the face are well preserved. The carv
ing, though rude, is bold, and the effect
produced striking, considering the sim
plicity of the design. The material seeuis
to be granite.
The manner in which it came into tlieir
possession is curious. Some time ago a
citizen of Alabama informed the linn
that bis brother, A. Berk stressor, a farmer
residing near Montgomery, Ala., while
plowing had turned up a strange imago
that was regarded as an Egyptian idol.
Mr. Cain made further inquiry concern
ing tho matter, and having satisfied him
self tliat the statement made by tho
farmer had been verified by the people of
Montgomery, secured the figure. All
who have examined it express the opin
ion that it is undoubtedly prehistoric. It
is said that there is but one other figure
similar to it, and that is in the Smith
sonian institution.—Pittsburg Times.
A Proiiuacu. ta Cured.
“My business necessitates a good deal

“About four weeks ago I was persua

as sound a man as there is in Georgia.
“ ‘Have I any objection to the publica
tion of these facts? 1 Not the least in
the world, and I only hope they will
meet the eye of every person suffering
aft I was, and that they will believe, try
and be cured; and I want to say right
here that I would not, for one thousand
dollars, be in the condition I was in when
1 began using the remedy which made
me whole again—Hunnicutt’s Rheu

“I also have been a great sufferer from
indigestion and stomach troubles—dys
pepsia, in fact—and since I began the
use of the Cure this has entirely left me
and 1 have as good and sound digestion
and appetite as I ever had.”
W. P, JOHNSON,

Mr. Albert Howell says: “A short
time ago 1 suffered terribly with rheu
matism. It was impossible to walk even
with crutches. I could not put my too*
on the floor. I found no relief from
treatment or remedy until I tried Hunni
cutt's Rheumatic Cure. Before I had
finished the second bottle my rheuma
tism was entirely gone. I put my
crutches aside and have never felt
twinge of rheumatism since. I am well,
and can sav my cure is perfect and per
manent. It is a wonderful medicine.”

Xtemarkable Case of Hypnotism.
One of the most remarkable cases of
hypnotism that perhaps has ever been re
corded is now being quietly investigated
by physicians in Baltimore. The case is
that of a girl about 14 years of age, who
lives with her parents on Madison avenue
in one of tho most fashionable sections of
the city. Tho family are extremely re
ticent on the subject, and insist that their
names bo kept secret. The father has
devoted much attention to the study of
hypnotism, and has made many experi
ments on this, his only child. Ho suc
ceeded in gaining complete mastery of
the girl’s mind, and could place her in a
trance whenever he wished.
He made the experiment, however,
once too often. About a month ago he
placed her under the occult influence,
and 6he has remained in a trance ever
since, from which neither her father nor
tho physicians have been able to arouse
her. She seems to have lost the powers | direct from factory. Send for books of
of articulation, and moves about mechani
cally. She eats when food is offered, but
without relish or apparent knowledge of
her actions. Her eyes are never closed,
but maintain a stony stare. The phy
sicians are greatly puzzled over tho case,
and the father is nearly beside himself
with grief.—Buffalo Nows.
An Ornithological Exhibition.
The society “Ornis” at Berlin intends
to liave an exhibition of birds from all
the countries of the world, to be held at
Berlin in the course of next year. The
exhibit is not to servo the exclusive inter

ornithology. Tho committeo will com
municate with similar societies in other
countries.—Foreign Letter.

Speakers of the IIoukc.
Illinois has nover had a speaker of tho
house nor a president of the senate, and
no speaker has ever lived west cf the
Mississippi. Rhode Island and Delaware,
among the eastern states, have never
been honored with tho speakership, and
neither Louisiana ndr Alabama lias ever
had a speaker. Mr. Carlisle is now en
tering upon his third term as speaker,
and when he has completed it Kentucky
will have liad tho s|>eakership twenty-
three years. New York has not had a
speaker since the days of John Quincy
Adams, when John W. Taylor closed his
term, and she has been represented only
three years in the speaker’s chair since
the beginning of our government. Ken
tucky ranks the other states of the union
as a furnisher of speakership of congress,
and Virginia comes next with just about
two-thirds the period of service, or four
teen years. Pennsylvania lias held tho
speakership eleven years. Massachusetts

Waiting for the Thunder.
A colored man fishing in the Eno, near
this place, last Friday, caught a largo
turtle, and while trying to take tho hook
from its mouth his right forefinger was
caught by the turtle. Tho negro tried
every means of beating and persuasion,
but the turtle was obdurate. No releaso
could be bad. At length tlio negro cut
the head off, which only increased the
turtle's fury and grip. He was told by
a companion that the turtle would never
let loose until it thundered, so he sat
quietly down on a stump on the bank of
the river waiting for it to thunder. The
last we heard of him ho was nursing tho
turtle’s head waiting for thunder.—Hills

In the Colorado .desert, near Idaho,
there is a large bed of rock salt, and the
Southern Pacific railroad, in laying the
track to the salt bed, has been obliged to
grade the road for 1,200 feet with blocks
of theso crystals. This is the only in

rolled over this place, dried up and left
a vast bed of salt nearly fifty miles long.
