The Reynoldsville woolen mills, of Beynoldsville, Pa., was destroyed by lire Thursday. Loss $100,000; insu rance $75,000. The first National Bank of Fort Scott, the oldest financial institution in Southeastern Kansas, suspended pay ment Tuesday. The British steamer Blue Jacket, from Marseilles, arrived at Cardiff Wednesday with cholera on board and was ordered in quarantine. The McNamara dry goods company, at Denver, Col., one of the largest houses in the west, was closed on at tachments Tuesday morning. A third furnace of the Maryland Steel Company, at Sparrows Point, was banked Thursday night, throwing 300 laborers out of employment. Thursday afternoon a can of naptha exploded in the sweatbund factory of J. D. Campbell, No. 211 Walworth street, Brooklyn, N. T., killing four persons. The headquarters of the National Republican League, in New York, were formally closed Wednesday and the effects shipped to Chicago, the fu ture headquarters. An incoming passenger train on the Grand Trunk road ran down a crowd- - ~ed street car in Chicago, Monday night,killing four people and injuring a number of others. At St. Louis, Thursday at noon, 1,200 boiler makers and sheet iron workers quit work in the boiler yards of Rohan, Brothers, Wingler, Garstand and O’Brien, they strike for nine hoars work at the same salary they have received heretofore. Citizens bank of Ada, the most prominent one in Hardin county, Ohio, failed to open its doors Tuesday morning. Its owner, Peter F. Ahl- field, has controlled it over a quarter of a century and is one of the wealth iest men of that section. The American bark Alice Reed, from Cienfuegos with sugar for orders, ar rived at the Delaware breakwater Wednesday night. Both mates had yellow fever on passage. One died and was buried at sea. The vessel was quarantined to be fumigated. The Chateauguay Ore and Iron Company, whose foundries are located at Lone mountain Pa., closed down Thursday, as did also the Crown Point iron works. The cause given is the dullness of trade. A thousand men are thrown out of employment. It was stated in court at Chicago Thursday that the assets of the suicide banker, Herman Sekaffner, would not pay over 12 1-2 per cent of the liabili ties. The announcement was a sur prise, though it was known that not much would be realized. The first national convention of jew elers and watchmakers opened at Chi- -eago Wednesday. Delegates were pres ent from Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Mississippi nnd Alabama. The con vention was addressed by Newton Dexter, of the Business Men’s Associa tion, of New York state. Dispatches of Monday state that the trouble between the French and Siamese continue. A body of French marines have enptured the forts at Donthane and Taphnm, on the upper Mekong. The French loss in the as sault was six killed and wounded. The Siamese lost heavily in both en gagements. ——A Boston dispatch of Wednesday announces the shutting down for Au gust of the Amoskeag cotton mill. This is the largest cotton mill in the United States, and probably in the world. It employes 8,000 operatives, uses 0,000,000 pounds of cotton per week and pays $225,000 per month in wages. A fire in London Monday night de stroyed thirty buildings, which were occupied by more ■ Ilian twenty-five firms, who dealt in stationery, cloth ing, tea, wines, furniture, imported goods, etc. The district burned is over an area of five hundred yards square. It is expected that the loss will reach 1,500,000 pounds. Six hundred shoemakers are on a strike in St. Louis. The trouble orig inated in Gunner’s factory nnd was precipitated by a reduction of 10 per cent, in wages, caused by the strin gency of the times. The strike has spread to other factories. The Ham ilton-Brown Shoe Company, the lar gest in the west, is only working half time. Cable dispatches of Wednesday from London are to the effect that cholera is rampant nmong the poorer class in Moscow, Russia. Much indignation is felt because the director of prisons learning that there was cholera in the Moscow prisons, ordered a ma jority of the prisoners to be removed to four other cities, thus increasing the danger of a spread of the infec tion. There have been no cases so far in St. Petersburg. Proceedings to obtain a pardon for ex-District Master Workman Hugh Dempsey, of the Knights of Labor, now confined in the penitentiary for complicity in the Homestead poison ing cases, received a setback at Pitts burg, Pa., Thursday. Patrick J. Gal lagher, whose retraction of evidence in court was the basis of the applica- tion.for Dempsey's pardon, refused to sign or make affidavit to the retrac tion. A Leavenworth special says: It is - reported on authority of railroad offi cials that one thousand men were put on the cars at Birmingham, Ala., Wednesday night and started for Kansas to take the places of striking miners. It is thought that they will go to Pittsburg, and from that place be distributed to all the affected mines in the state. Trouble and perhaps bloodshed will undoubtedly follow such an attempt. A Ran Jose, Cal., dispatch of Mon day says: An importantrdisvovery re garding the comet has been made at the Lick observatory. Photographic plates reveal the fact that the heavenly visitant is not alone in its glory, but has a companion. The second comet is enveloped in the tail of the first one, and shows distinctly as a nebulous-like condensation. Its tail also merges into that of the other. It appears to move in the orbit exactly parallel, and at the same rate of speed. Dr. Henry C. W. Meyer, the whole sale poisoner for insurance money, reached New York Monday afternoon in charge of a detective. The detect ive said nothing of interest passed be tween himself and the prisoner on their way from Detroit. Meyer was sullen during the entire trip. He would talk about nothing but commonplace mat- j ters, except on one occasion, when he said he had never been in New York and knew nothing about the death of the man known as Gustav A. J. Baum and Ludwig Brandt. At a directors’ meeting Thursday, it was decided to shut down the mills of the Westbrook Manufacturing com pany, at Portland, Me., makers of ginghams, from July 24th to Septem ber 1st. The monthly pay roll is $20,000. The goods now being manu factured cannot be sold until October, and no money can be realized on them until next spring. The mill has been in operation thirty years without a shut down, and some relief measures are neeessar y. A special of Thursday from Topeka says that the Santa Fe management have just unearthed*' extensive frauds on that division of the road included between Topeka and Chicago. The frauds, it is said, have resulted in a loss to the road of $17,000 a month. The conspiracy is far-reaching and in cluded, it is said, various officers of the road, from assistant superintend ents down to the section bosses. The scheme was to pad the pay rolls with fictitious names and to divide the amount thus secured among the various conspirators. FRANCE AND SIAM Engage In Hostilities and France Conies Out First Best. A London special of Friday says: A dispatch from Bangkok, the capital of Siam, states that twenty Siamese were killed and fourteen wounded Thursday during an exchange of shots between the forts at the month of Meinam river, and the French gunboats Comete and Ineonstante, which forced the pass age of the bar in the face of orders from the Siamese government prohib iting their entry into the river. PBOTECTION FOB XMEBICAXS. Begarding the trouble a Washing ton dispatch says: There are about twenty American missionaries in Siam, mostly Presbyterians,and their friends in this country have become concern ed about their welfare, now that act ual hostilities have broken out be tween the French and Siam. VERY LITTLE OFFICIAL NEWS. The only official news of the trouble between the French and the Siamese received at the state department yvas contained in a brief cablegram from Acting Consul General Boyd, at Bang kok, stating that, after an hour’s en gagement, the French vessels had pass ed the forts below Bangkok. It is not ' the present intention of the depart ment to especially dispatch an Ameri can war vessel to the scene ot war, in view of the fact that the American in terests in Siam are insignificant, being confined to a small trade in teak wood. Nevertheless, it is appreciated that if the war assumes formidable pro portion, the Siamese may make it very unpleasant for foreign residents, in cluding the Americans there, as the hostilities are apt to be characterized by the summary proceedings known to semi-barbarous nations. If such a state of affairs obtains, however, the United States will not be without a vessel in the Siamese waters, as the United States steamship Concord, now on her way to China, will be in that neighborhood in the course of two months. WHAT WILL ENGLAND DO? In the house of commons Friday Mr. Gladstone stated in response to a question that the foreign office had re ceived news of the asoent of the Mei nam river by the French fleet, but it had not heard of active hostilities be tween the French nnd Siamese. The prime minister added that he relied on the assurance given to England by the French government being kept. TRADE REVIEW. Report of Business for the Past Week by Dun & Co. R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: There is a somewhat bet ter tone in business because the money markets are a little less stringent. But it cannot be said as yet that there is any distinct improvement. In every direction usual conservatism prevails, orders are small, the volume of busi ness is restricted and a waiting policy rules. Improvement is expected from the resumption of business in the iron and silver regions nnd the building trade shows signs of revival with material 20 per cent cheaper than last year. East bound shipments are slightly smaller than last year, real estate dealings 75 per cent less and receipts of most products smaller. Louisville reports easier money nnd business fair in volume. At Nash ville business is quite fair and Mont gomery improving. At Little Bock business is more hopeful with good crop prospects and at Columbus trade is fair with collections unimproved anti at Atlanta satisfactory in volume, but collections are very slow. Trade is dull at Augusta, though crop prospects are good, and at Mobile crop prospects are fair and trade satisfactory. At New Orleans littl. improvement is seen and money very tight, but a bet ter feeling prevails, for crop prospects are bright. The failures during the past week have not diminished in number, being 374 in the United States against 168 last vear for the same week. THE MOBILE REGISTER, One of the Oldest Papers In tlie South, Assigns. A Mobile, Ala., special says: The RygiBter Company, publishers of the daily and weekly Register, one of the eldest papers in the south, made an assignment Tuesday night. The com pany has been for years heavily loaded with an indebtedness growing out of a lawsuit for the possession of the pa per a number of years ago. Interest on this was promptly met but the pay ment cramped the management and forced the creation of considerable floating debts. This, in these times of stringency, became too heavy to carry and John L. Rapier, principal stock holder and president of the company, urged an assignment in the hope of a curtailment of the expense account and relief from the pressure until the paper could recover itself. ON BANKS AND BANKING. Governor Nortlien Wants a History of the Business in Georgia. Governor Northen has requested Mr. George B. DeSaussure, vice-president of the Exchange bank of Atlanta, to prepare a paper on the history of bank ing in Georgia and an account of the existing banking laws, to make a part of the records of the congress of bank ers and financiers held in Chicago in June. Mr. DeSaussure now has this paper in course of preparation and will soon be ready to submit it. He has written recently some very valuable articles on the financial questions of the day. Although comparatively a young man, Governor Northen could not have selected a person more capa ble of undertaking the work which he has in hand. THROUGHOUT THE SOUTH. Notes of Her Progress and Prosperity Briefly Epitomized And Important Happenings from Day to Day Tersely Told. Colonel C. C. Jones, Georgia’s his torian, died at his home near Augusta, Wednesday morning. Colonel Jones was afflicted with Bright’s disease and had been calmly awaiting the final summons for several months. Colonel E. H. Taylor, Jr., distiller, at Frankfort, Ky., made an assignment Thursday to the Lexington Trust Com pany. The liabilities are not given out, but it is supposed that they are not nearly so large as the assets. A disastrous fire occurred at Susan- ville, Col. Tuesday night, resulting in the destruction of sixty buildings and causing a loss of about $250,000 With the exception of one restaurant not a business house in town was left. A special from Gadsden Ala., Mon day night tells of the suicide of Mon roe C. Herstein, of the firm of Lowen- thal & Herstein, of that place. It is said that he had been a heavy loser in cotton speculations lately and had been in a depressed state of mind for same time. He was also a member of the firm of Herstein & Lowenthal, of Huntsville. A San Diego, Cal., dispatch of Thursday says: Rev. Charles A. Briggs, who was deposed by the Pres byterian general assembly, has de clined an offer of a testimonial of $50,000 which Chaplain Parker, of San Diego, wished to raise. Dr. Briggs, in declining, said he lost nothing by the trial except delay in literary work and waste of time and strength. A dispatch of Sunday from Yalejo, Cal., states that it seems more than probable that Admiral Farraguft’s old flagship, the Hartford, is to be refitted and once more fly a commission pen nant from her main mast. The com mandant of Mare island navy yard has received detailed plans and specifica- rions for remodeling the rigging and refitting the vessel. In the federal court at Knoxville, Tenn., Monday, William Johnson, a fraudulent pensioner, was sentenced to a term in the Stillwater, Minn., peni tentiary. For three years past he has drawn $12 per month from the gov ernment while the right Johnson lived in Chattanooga. Henry Billingsley, alias Wilson, was given an eighteen- months’ sentence for drawing the pen sion of Henry Wilson, of Texas. W. H. Wallace, a wealthy lumber dealer of Lebanon, Tenn., left St. Louis Sunday morning, and, purchas ing a ticket, displayed his pocket book containing nearly $10,000. When he left the train at Nashville Sunday night two men brushed against him, although the depot was not crowded. Mr. Wallace didn’t miss his pocket book until Monday morning, nnd is confident that he was robbed by men who followed him from St. Louis. The county board of control met at Columbia, S. C., Tuesday, nnd ap pointed two more dispensers, making three dispensaries that will shortly be opened in Columbia. Dispensaries have also been established at St. Matthews, Orangeburg county, and Manning, Clarendon county. The price of California wines was an nounced. It will be about fifty cents per gallon and fifteen cents per bottle. Brandies will bo $4 per gallon. A San Francisco special of Wednes* day says: Attachments aggregating several thousand dollars have been filed against the Union Stock Yards company, whose great meat packing establishment is at Kodeo, Contra Costa county. These claims are said to be preliminary to larger suits by eastern holders of the first bonds. The immense plant, it is said, has practically shut down. The plant cost $100,000 and was started May 1st. A Columbia, S. C., special says: The dispensary authorities, on Wed nesday, succeeded in getting from As sociate Justice Pope an order staying and superceding the restraining order issued by Circuit Judge Hudson in the Darlington injunction case. Un der Judge Hudson’s order the Darl ington dispenser was restrained from opening the dispensary, but the order of Justice Pope vitiates the restraint and opens the dispensary until the further order of the court. James M. Dowling, cashier of the local United States mint in New Or leans, was arrested Thursday after noon, upon affidavits sworn to by W. G. Forsyth, an operative in the secret service of the government, charging him with the embezzlement of $25,- 000. The accused was arraigned be fore United States Commissioner Wright and placed under $10,000 bond. The arrest of Cashier Dowling is the outgrowth of a fire which took place in tlie mint on June 24th. ATTACKED BY STRIKERS. Desperate Conflict Between Miners in Weir City, Kansas. A special from Weir City, Kan., says: The expected crisis has come in the miners’ strike. Miners who are willing to work quietly and peaceably have been attacked by the strikers, and blood has been shed. The feeling which has been growing more and more bit ter for several days culminated in a fierce battle at Clement’s pit, twelve miles south of the city, Thursday. All day there was evidence of an approach ing storm, and the feeling Vas uni versal that serious trouble was at hand. Over one hundred shots were fired, and it is nothing short of a miracle that nobody was killed. One man was wounded in the forehead and in the leg, a boy in the foot and one of the women got a bullet through her arm. None of the wounds are fatal, and it is believed that none of them are dan gerous. A number on both sides were badly beaten up with clubs and club bed guns. The wounded were quick ly removed by their friends and their names have not been learned. Just before noon a band of 500 of the strikers, headed by 100 women, which had been marching to the va rious strip pits, reached Clement’s pits and sent in a committee to per suade the working miners there to quit. The miners refused to do this, ! and when the committee reported the | entire body of marchers moved on the workers to force them out. The strip ! men were ready for them, and when : the trespass line was passed, they were | fired upon, and a general battle en- j sued, iu which Winchester rifles, pis- i tols and clubs were used. As the result of the battle the men ; in the strip were routed by the strik ers and were forced to flee for their lives, pursued by the howling mob, which would have lynched them had they been caught. The excitement continues st a high pitch, and further bloodshed now seems inevitable. THE FIRST VICTIM. Governor Tillman Sets in Motion the Law’s Machinery. Proceedings were begun against the violators of the Evans dispensary law in Charleston at a very early hour Saturday morning, nnd a sensation only exceeded by the earthquake of ’86 and the hoisting of the secession flag in ’60, was created thereby. The first victim of the lavr was a very humble Italian citizen named Vincent Chicco, who kept a posada in Market street. It was shortly after 12 o’clock in the morning when six of the governor’s constabulary appeared in front of Chiceo’s posada. They were armed with a warrant for Chicco’s ar rest issued by a trial justice and an injunction issued by Circuit Judge Iz- lar, which latter gave them the power to seize and confiscate everything on the premises, which they proceeded to do. Wagons were brought up and loaded with Chicco’s goods. The con stables then proceeded to search the premises for contraband goods. The goods were hurried off to the sheriff’s office, but subsequently a part of them were returned to the house of which the constabulary still had possession. In the meantime crowds of citizens had gathered around the scene of hos tilities. The air was filled with de nunciations and threats of lynching were heard on all sides. A lieutenant and squad of policemen soon came up. Gaillard, the chief of the constabulary, ordered the lieutenant to clear the mob. The police were evidently in sympathy with the crowd and the lieu tenant replied very tartly that he knew his business and would conduct it in his own way. In the meantime, Chicco had been taken to the trial justice’s office, where he was followed by a dozen prominent business men who offered bail at any amount. A preliminary hearing was entered npen and Chicco was bailed. His goods are still in the possession of the sheriff and his prem ises in the custody of the constabu lary. The excitement and indignation in Charleston is intense and pervades all classes of the community. The scene in the trial justice’s office during the examination was dramatic. Angry men rushed up to get a look at the constab ulary, and left denouncing them and breathing threats of vengeance. Dur ing the examination one of the consta bles lugged out his revolver and threat ened to shoot the defendant who had been cursing him. The officers inter fered before the shooting could com mence. Many citizens are arming themselves and avow openly that they will shoot any constable or spy who attempts to | enter their premises. The state constabulary continued their nork Monday afternoon of ar resting persons charged with violation of the dispensary law. They gave bonds for their appearance and were released. The places of the arrested persons were searched but nothing contraband was found. While the community is iu favor of the enforce ment of the law, there is deep indig nation at the conduct of constables on Saturday. Hoyne Pepper, the con stable who tried t. shoot Chicco was bound over in tha sum of $500 for trial at the county session for assault and battery with intent to kill. GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.

THREE RECEIVERS. flamnel Spencer Appointed as tlie Third Receiver of the R AD. A Baltimore special of Tuesday says: Judge Goff, sitting in the chambers of the Unite States circuit court for the eastern district of Virginia, and acting under the bill filed by the Cen tral Trust Company of New York, has appointed Samuel Spencer, F. W. Huidekoper and Reuben Foster as re ceivers of the Richmond and Danville Railroad company and leased lines. Mr. Spencer is the representative of the Drexel-Morgan banking house of New York, and the appointment is a move in the interest of reorganization by that house. Each of the receivers was required to give bond with ap proved security for $100,000. The application for receivers was based on a petition for a foreclosure of the Richmond and Danville five per cent bonds. Judge Goff passed the necessary order and appointed the three trustees named. Foster and Huidekoper were appointed receivers by Judge Bond under the original Clyde proceedings. The present ap plication is a new case, and their re appointment was necessary. In mak ing the appointment the court ratifies and confirms all the acts of Huide koper and Foster, the old receivers, the order being especially guarded in that respect. The last step to be taken will be the foreclosure under a general consolidated mortgage and the sals of the property. WASHINGTON GOSSIP. Happenings from Day to Day in the National Capital. Appointments in the Various Depart ments—Other Notes of Interest- The gold reserve continues to fluct uate in the neighborhood of $98,000,- 000. Wednesday it was $98,387,709,and Thursday it dropped to $97,812,669. The absence of the president and his family at Buzzard’s Bay is being taken advantage of to thoroughly ren ovate the white house, and to make some domestic changes in the arrange ment of the interior. Inquiry at the pension office Wed nesday elicited the information that the total number of pensioners drop ped from the roll since March 4, 1893, was 245 and that the total number of pensioners suspended since March 4th, pending a further investigation of their cases was 5,000. Secretary Gresham received a cable message Monday from Minister Baker, dated July 13th, as follows: “The Nicaraguan president and minister of foreign affairs are still in prison at Leon. A meeting of the cabinet pro claimed Zavilla dictator. A large ma jority of Nicaraguans support the gov ernment.” The president has recognized Charles T. Wilder as consul general of the provisional government of the Hawaiian islands for the states of Cali fornia, Oregon, Nevada and Washing ton ; Charles Henrotie, consul general of Turkey at Chicago, and Erskine M. Phelps, consul of the Republic of Colombia at Chicago. Orders have been sent to Commis sioner Brook, commanding the Alert, to proceed home, reaching San Fran cisco not later than the last of Sep tember. Her cruise (three years) is out on the 9th of October, when her crew are entitled to discharge. She has been on duty on the Atlantic sta tion, and when last heard from, was at Chemulpo, Corea. Telegraph orders will be sent to Commissioner Whiting, commanding the Alliance at Callao, Peru, to pro ceed at once with that vessel to Cor- rinto, the port nearest to Leon, where the latest revolution is at its- height. Commander Whiting is instructed simply to use all possible dispatch to protect American interests there. It will take at least a week to make the trip. Charges of purjury made against a Japanese interpreter- employed at the United States custom house in San Francisco have been overruled by the tereasury department. On Wednes day, Acting Secretary Hamlin sent a letter to the collector of customs at San Francisco exonerating the interp reter and directing that twelve Japa nese be deported ‘ ‘to the country from, whence they came. ” Secretary Herbert, accompanied by Miss Herbert and his naval aide, En sign Wood, left Washington Monday on the President’s yatch, Dolphin, for a visit to the naval stations at New York, Newport, New London, Boston and Portsmouth, N. H. He will also make a visit to Machias, Me., to en able the secretary to be present at the presentation by the citizens of that place of a silver service to the stanch little boat in his honor. The party will be absent about three weeks. 3Iorc Carriers Are Needed. On Wednesday the attention of Act ing Postmaster General Jones was call ed to complaints of a number of post masters which have appeared in the newspapers reflecting on the postoffice department because of non-compli ance with their requests in the matter of allowances for letter carriers. Mr. Jones said that there was no question that New York city and a large num ber of other cities were actually in great need of additional carriers and more facilities for carrying on the work of the department, while it would afford the department pleasure to comply with these requests, yet, as a matter of fact, it was powerless to do so, owing to the insufficient appro' priations. A Treasury Router. The department of state has just issued a register containing some new features. One of these is a historical sketch of every secretary and assistant secretary from Thomas Jefferson down to the present day. Another is a record of the persons in the diplomatic and consular service, which is inter esting from the exhibitions of the nu merous officers who have remained in for years undisturbed by the mula- tions of politics. The nestor of the consular corps appears to be William S. Campbell, who was originally ap pointed consul at Rotterdam April 27, 1843. The new register also disclosed a reform much affecting the methods of the state department itself. For many years the clerical force has been organ ized under a system which placed each clerk in charge of correspondence on certain specified subjects. As a con sequence it has happened that some clerks were unduly taxed, while others wore comparatively idle. ; The regis ter shows that this practice has been abolished; that the various special designations have been done away with, and that all of the clerks, tn the diplomatic bureau for instance, are subject to assignment by the chief of the bureau, to any work on hand. A NEW BANK With $500,000 Capital Opened in New York by Weils, Fargo & Co. An Albany, N. Y., special says: Su perintendent Preston, of the state banking department, Thursday issued a certificate of authorization to Wells, Fargo >t Co.’s bank to transact a dis count and deposit business in New York city. The capital stock is $500,- 000, divided into $100 a share. The capital stock is paid in cash. The bank, besides starting with $500,000 paid in capital, has a surplus of $500,- 000, each share of stock having been sold to the subscribers at $200. The Wells-Fargo Express Company already have a bank at San Francisco and one at Salt Lake City. THE DEAD FIREMEN. Tlie Heroes of the Chicago Holocanst Consigned to Earth. A Chicago special says: The funer al of eight of the unidentified victims of the fire took place Friday afternoon. The funeral car, deeply draped, drawn by eight coal black horses and escort ed by a guard of honor oi the com rades of the dead army officers. Co lumbian Guards and police. In the funeral procession were all the army officers on duty at the fair, a company of fifty Columbian guards, and ten sergeants, commanded by Captian Scknnk and Lieutenants Ely and Sage, and details from the fire department. Besides the citizens there were civic societies in which the dead had mem bership.

Superstition of the Thirteen. When King Arthur founded tha fa mous round table, he requested Mer lin, the enchanter, to arrange the seats. Merlin arranged one set of seats to represent the apostles; 12 were for the faithful adherents of Jesus Christ and the thirteenth for the trait or Jndas. The first were never occu pied save by knights distinguished for their achievements, and when a death occurred among them the seat remain ed vacant until a knight surpassing him in heroic and warlike attainments should be considered worthy to fill the place. If an unworthy knight sought the chair, he was repelled by some magic power. The thirteenth seat was never occu pied but once. The st zy goes that a haughty and insolent Saracen knight sat down upon it and was immediately swallowed up by the earth. Ever after it was known as the “perilous seat,’ and brave as the celebrated knights of the round table are said to have been, not one ever had the courage to sit on the thirteenth chair, and the supersti tion against it still survives.—PittS' burg Dispatch. A Stand and Deliver Scheme. What Educates ? Small Son—“Mamma, I wish you’d buy me a fiddle.” Mamma—“You have no ear for mu sic, and the noises you would make would be utterly unendurable.” Small Son—“I won’t play only w’en papa is at borne, ’cause then I think maybe he’ll buy me a nice bicycle so I’ll stop. Poverty Exposed. Little Dot—“I guess Mr. Nexdoor is awful poor.” Mamma—“Why so?” Little Dot—“Mrs. Nexdoor toldher little girl that candy would spoil her teeth. ”—Street & Smith's Good News. That Terrible Sconrgr. Malarial disease is invariably supplemented by disturbance of the liver, the bowels, the stomach and the nerves. To the removal of both the cause and its effects Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is fuhy adequate. It “fills the bill” as no other remedy does, performing its work thoroughly. Its ingredients are pure and wholesome, aud it admirably serves to build up a system broken by ill health and shorn of strength. Constipation, liver and kidney complaint and nervousness are con quered by it. Think well and you will be more likely to do wel'. Many persons are broken down from over work or household can a. Brown’s Iron Bit ters rebuilds the system, aids digestion, re moves excess of bile, and cures malaria. A splendid tonic for women and children. You ask what will educate your son. Your daily example will educate him; your conversation with your friends; the business he sees you transact; the likings and dislikings he sees you express—the society you live in will educate him; above all, your rank, your situation in life, your table will educate him. It is not in your power to withdraw him from the continual influence of these things, except you were to withdraw yourself from them also. Education goes on at every in stance of time; you can never stop or turn its course. What these have a tendency to make your child, that will j he be. Parents should invariably give j good examples to their children, for youths are usually apt students, and i impressions made in childhood are in- [ delibly stamped on the susceptible I mind.—Selected.
