About twenty year* ago I discovered a little sore on my cheek, and the doctors pro
nounced it cancer. I have tried a number of physicians, out without receiving any perma
nent benefit. Among the number were one or two specialists. The medicine tttey applied
wa* like tire to the sore, causing intense [ am. I saw a statement in the papers telling what
H. S. S. had done lor others similarly afflicted. I procured some at once. Before I had used
the second bottle the neighbors could notice that my cancer was healing up. My general
health had been had for two or three years—l hau a hacking congn and spit blood contin
ually. I had a severe pain in my breast. After taking six bottles of S. S. S. my cough left
me and I grew stouter than I had been for several year*. My cancer has healed over all but
a little xjiot about the size of a half dime, and it is rapidly disappearing. I would advise
every one with cancer to give S. S. S. a fair trial.

CURIOSITIES OF PARIS LAW.
Tlie Most Strict License Laws in the World
A little book has 1 teen published recently
which gives the public some insight into
the functions and powers of the Prefect
of Paris. No one is allowed to stick a
note on door or window asking for tin
employee, or post a bill on a board un
less it be stamped and taxed. Advertis
ers may adopt any color they please ex
cept white, which signifies purity, and is
reserved for official announeenients. Spec
ial premission is required to give an
assault-at-unus, but nothing is said in
regard to duels. If anyone comes to
Paris with the idea that he can start bus
iness right off as a rag picker lie is mis
taken. He will lie run in if found gather
ing rags without a license. No reunion
or meeting for political or religious ob
jects can meet without the consent of the
Prefect and under whatever condition lie
pleases. In order to hold a meeting on a
non-political subject seven persons con
nected with it must make a declaration
at the Prefecture three clear days before
the day of meeting. Special jiermission
is required to give balls and concerts and
to perform feats of agility in music halls.
Owing to the exigencies of the octroi cat
tle and live stock are only allowed to en
ter Paris at certain hours of the day and
by certain routes. Merchants of bric-a
brac must be supplied with brass medals
and licensed. Dogs are made the sub
ject of a series of regulations. French
men seem to have a terror of the bulldog,
for it is decreed that “no dog of the race
boule dogue or a crossed bottle dogue
must be allowed to go at large in the
street, in warehouses, workshops, or oth
er public places. Inside of houses these
dogs must always be kept in a suring or
muzzle,” Com missionaries must make a
declaration and get a medal and livret be
fore starting business. Commissionaries
are shoeblacks. No organ grinder, street
musician, or itinerant merchant can ex
ercise his profession without the permis
sion of the Prefect. No permission is
granted unless the applicant has resided
at least, a year within the jurisdiction of
the Prefect and is French. The street
musician, however, sometimes play wit h
out permission. Should a concierge be
in a particularly amiable turn he will
allow an Italian to play within his gates,
where he is as absolute as the Prefect.
The Prefect supplies workmen with livrets
and without which they are not worth
anything. Porters at the public markets
must have a certificate of good conduct
from the police. Anyone who saves a
drowning person from any river, either
by calling attention to or rescuing him,
gets 25f.; whoever discovers a corpse or
a part of a corpse in the river receives

AN UNHEALTHY SIGN.
The Cause of Spiritualism on a Itapiri
Increase.
Savannah News.]
It is not generally known, perhaps,
that the Southern Spiritulists’ Associa
tion owns twenty acres of land on the
summit of Lookout Mountain, and that
every summer a month’s camp meeting
is held there. The president of the asso
ciation, is a prominent business man of
Chattanooga. The members are scat
tered through half a dozen States, and
many of them are people of wealth and
cultivation.
The camp meeting on Lookout is at
tended by a large number of Spiritualists.
Most of are members of the association,
but there are always some in attendance
from the North and M ost. The daily ex
ercises consists of addresses, generally
aimed against the Christian religion, and
of mediumistic tests. Famous mediums
from all parts of the country reap a
golden harvest.
Those who are not Spiritualists cannot
understand the unquestioning faith with
which men and women of apparent sound
sense aud undoubted culture accept the
pretended revelations of professional
mediums. The most unblushing frauds
are practiced, and always at a pecuniary
loss to the dujies. It sometimes occurs
that a medium is exposed, but the Spirit
ualists refuse to credit the evidence of
their own senses and blindly go on per
mitting themselves to be defrauded. The
unquestioning faith of Spiritualists is
due to an abnormal development of the
superstitious element in their natures.
One entirely free from superstition could
never be a Spiritualist, It is true that
Spiritualists claim that their faith is
founded upon the laws of nature and that
it is susceptible of scientific explanation;
but an unbeliever who hears a Spiritua
list attempt to explain his faith will
speedily be convinced that it is nothing
but nonsense.
It is a fact that the Spiritualist are
increasing. The Southern Association is
by no means the only organization of
the kind in the country. Every section
has a similar organization, and in the
North and West quite a number of Spir
itualist temples have been built. The in
crease is not a healthy sign, for while
heterodoxy is not always to be con
demned, when it takes the form of a
faith founded upou superstition it is evi
dence that something is wrong, both in
the spirtual and the intellectual educa
tion of those who accept such a faith.
How Some Maine Fishermen Were Pun
ished.
The holding of one-tenth of ticket 7-1,-
987 in The Louisiana State Lottery,
Jordan and others of this city, makes
the second time that the capital prize
(1150,000) has come to Portland within
the past year. The good luck of the
first syndicate who drew $15,000 induced
Hurston and his friends to form a com
bination and purchased ten one-dofflar or
one-tenth tickets. One of these tickets
drew $15,000. Six or seven of the Mar
ston syndicate are fishermen or laborers
in needy circumstances and the money
conies opportunely to them. —Portland

THE SLUGGER'S HEAD.
Sullivan iu the Hands of a I’hreiiologist.
Cincinnati Enquirer, Sunilav.]
Last evening just before tin* curtain
rang up ou the exhibition given by the
John L. Sullivan Combination, an En
quirer reporter, in company with l’rof.
Edgar C. Beall, the phrenologist, gained
admission to the stage. The champion
pugilist was asked if he would give a few
moments of his time and allow his head
examined for the benefit of the readers of
the Enquirer. He granted the request
gracefully and quietly submitted to the
ordeal. The examination was made in
Sullivan's dressing-room. Here is the
result of thesitting. given in Prof. Beall's
own language:
Few men of celebrity or notoriety art 1
correctly understood by the world at
large. They generally have some weak
ness which escape even the jealous scru
tiny of their enemies, and perhaps til
most an equal number of virtues which
ate scarcely appreciated by their friends.
To some extent this is true of John L.
Sullivan. And whatever may be justly
said of his defects or mistakes, it is cer
tain that he hits some elements of mind
as well as muscle of which he hus good
reason to be proud.
His temperament is the motive-vital,
which gives great strength of body com
bined with ardent feelings and fondness
for all animal enjoyments. It is the con
stitution for outdoor enjoyment, and in
fact almost everything but study. He
has, also, black hair and dark gray eyes,
which indicate great intensity of passion,
with considerable accuracy of judgment
iu practical affairs. The head measures
twenty-two and a half inches, which is
half an inch above the full size, but as
the quality of the organization is not
favorably to activity of the intellect, of
course he will never do much in the world
of thought.
His head is of the usual Irish type, long
and narrow, and extending greatly back
ward from the ears, showing a strong so
cial nature, and especially love of the op
posite sex. But in view of the man’s his
tory, the diameter in the region of the
ears at coinbatativeness and destructive
ness is surprisingly small. He is not ag
gressive by nature, and he is a fighter
more from the fact of his muscle and skill
than from a love of contention. And he
is very far from being as cruel and severe
as most people would suppose. The de
cided narrowness of the side head extends
also to the faculties of secrecy and acqui
sitiveness, the instincts of concealment
and possession, the latter of which is ex
ceedingly weak. Such a man will prefer
almost any vocation to that of com
merce.
Mr. Sullivan has also very small self
esteem, or dignity—that kind of pride
which is so marked in the English char
acter —and he is also less vain than many
who have less reason to indulge the love
of praise. And he truly says that most
men, if flattered as he has been, would
exhibit this weakness more than he has
done. The lack of dignity is indicated
by the sloping off of the upper back
head. But at the top, on a line with the
ears, there is considerable elevation at
firmness; and the peculiar squareness of
the lower jaw and slight fullness or fold
at the sides of the mouth are unmistak
able signs of “bull dog" tenacity. There
is the man's greatest element of force.
He can hold with a death-grip to a pur
pose when his mind is made tip, but he is
impatient as to methods, and Ims very
little continuity of thought. The frontal
top head is very high at benevolence,
and few men will lie more generous in a
certain way.
Intellectually Mr. Sullivan is quick to
observe and estimate the qualities of ma
terial things, but his upper forehead
slopes off' at the sides, showing little ca
pacity for philosophy orabstract thought
However, he has a wonderful fullness in
the centre of the forehead where it joins
the hair, which signifies a keen sense of
human nature. His power in this re
sjiect, together with his perception of
motion aud distance—the faculties of
weight and size, explain the secret of his
pugilistic dexterity and skill. He dis
cerns with the rapidity of lightning the
intentions of an opponent, and directs
his blows with the precision of an artist.
Socially, this man will always stand in
his own light, for he lias neither cunning
nor sufficient fluency of language to dis
play himsejf to the best advantage, and
if there are better men than he there are
also many who are worse.
SHERMAN’S NARROW ESCAPE.
Cuban Banditti Arrange to Capture Him
But Failed By I'ive Minutes.
New York, April 22.—A special from
Key West, Fla., to the Herald says:
From private letters from Havana it is
learned that a party of kidnapjiers or
outlaws, comprising much of the danger
ous elements of Cuban banditti, had ar
ranged to capture Senator John Sher
man on his recent visit to Cuba. The
project only failed b.v a difference of time.
The plot was well arranged, and the
bandetti were in sufficient force to
capture Sherman’s party, but, for
tunately for the distinguished gentle
man’s safety, they left the plantation in
tended as the scene of the outrage just
five minutes before theoutlaws appeared.
It is thought that the owner of the plan
tation was a party to the scheme. The
foregoing api>ears in a paper published
to-dav. While in Havana Mr. Sherman
took occasion to congratulate the Cap
tain General on the pence throughout
the island. When the Senator, however,
expressed a desire to visit the sugar plan
tations in the interior, the military was
sent as an escort, and the entire party
barely escaped an unpleasant
surprise. The letter referred to above,
after mentioning several wealthy Span
iards recently captured and held for
ransom, says: ‘T also learn that a few
minutes after the visit of Sherman, Man
derson, McCook and the Spanish officials
to the plantation of Pedneo Lamberto
Fernandez, at Colon, the bandit Malagas
arrived ia search of the Americans.
Upon being told by the overseer that the
party had left, that officr was severely
l>eaten to make him divulge their hiding
place. The bandits satisfied themselves
by searching the plantation immediately
and then retired. Malagas was in full
uniform, ami his band was well main
tained and armed to receive such dis
tinguished visitors.’’

ville the other day as a suspected felon,
Informed the Judge before whom he was
taken that he had once been convicted of
burglary but had served his term in
prison and been released. Speaking of
the efforts to reform, Ryan said: “No
man who has once been convicted, as I
have been, can reform, unless un

days when the officers of jhe law are so
well informed aud constantly on the look
out to arrest some one you cannot go

CLOTHES 15V THE HOl'K.
A New Industry Which is Patronised by
the Hour.
Philadelphia Times.]
“Ah! Chap! Is that one of Fwank's?"
said one of those beings that give strong
reason to believe in the Darwinian theory
yesterday afternoon, on Chestnut street.
The object addressed was quite as nice
an “if as the one that spoke, and the
cause of the remark was one of those
coats intended for the spring trade but
cut short in its growth by the continued
cold weather.
“Yalta, deah boy. Ye see, it's bloom
in’ cold ter-day an' I made a date with a
fairy to walk ter-day, an' I had to do it,
me boy.”
“How hawd did he stwike ye,chappie?”
“Seventeen cents till 5 o’clock an’ tire
cents anhowh ait ah, but [must be back,
ye know, an" the posey costs two cents
an howh an’ 1 could only bowwah a
quawtah from my little sistah.” Then
they parted. At 5 o'clock “Chappie”
was seen coming down the street. He
turned off Chestunt stmt at Twelft h and
went a few doors, rang a bell and entered
a house. The stroller followed it. 1n a
nicely furnished back room was seated a
well-dressed youth about 27 years of age.
He turned out to be “Fwank.”. All
around the room were hung garments of
all shades and kinds, but all were of the
latest “English cut. Here “Chappie",
carefully took off the coat, after remov
ing the rose that pestled in the upper
buttonhole. The bill was 2:1 cents.
“What *can Ido faw ye, Chappie?”
was “Fwank's” salutation as soon as the
wind had opened the door and cleared the
room.
“Well, this‘ehappie’ doesn't want any
thing, except to know a little bit about
this industry of yours. When* do you
get these clothes hanging around lien*,
and is your business a nourishing suc
cess?”
At first there was an apparent indispo
sition to answer, but it didn't take long
to make up the little mind possessed, and
a few startling facts were developed.
The details will not, however, be told in
the silly lingo of the informer.
The establishment has been in existence
nearly two years and has lieen growing
rapidly ever since its organization. The
proprietor buys all kinds of fashionable
clothing from slender duties whose
fathers give them plenty. When they
get hard up they go to “Fwank’s,” and
there they receive a very fair juice for
their clothing. The cheap dude, that
stands on Chestnut stn*et curbstones
and meanders dolefully up and down,
wondering all day when something is
going to happen to make it rich, so it
can enjoy life tike other “chaps,*’ or wait
ing for some heiress to fall in love with
its shape, is the one that enriches
‘‘Fwank.” This branch of the “genus
dudii” seldom lias more than a dollar at
onetime, but it must Inuke an apjiear
auee. So it goes to “Fwank,” and there
it can get one of those dickey “top coats
for ten cents the first hour and live cents
an hour after.” On Saturdays and Sun
days the ])riee is raised fifty per cent.
Dress suits are hired in the evenings for
forty cents. It often makes them go
broke for a week on these occasions.
Trousers can be hired for from five to
eight cents an hour. No security is re
quired. On Saturdays “Fwank” buys a
job lot stock of flowers aud hires them
out iu lots lunging from two to five
cents an hour.
l)ur Hoad Laws a Smire and :i Delusion.
Special from Athens, On.]
The grand jury in their reeomendations,
make a few remarks about the jr**sent
road laws of the State: “We are sure
that our reads could lie greatly improved
by making proper changes in shortening
distances and evading steep hills. We
especially recommend that the ordinary
order such changes in our roads as will
expedite travel and benefit the jiublie.
This is a day of progress and we do not
believe that the publie should be forced
to climb the long, steep and rugged hills,
the original paths of the aboriginees,
when such places can be avoided, our
public roads are not worked as they
should be; it seems almost iinjiossible to
get road commissioners to discharge
their duties properly. The law might
answer if rigidly enforced. The surface
work usually done amounts to nothing.
We think our road laws are out of date
and are not up to the date and time.
We do not think it right or proper to
summons out and take from tie* farm
laborers, as is often done, at an impor
tant and valuable time of the year in
their crops, forcing them to lay down
their plows and hoes and other fanning
implements ami go and work over the
roads in order that the overseers and
commissioners may say that their roads
have been worked prior to the assembling
of the grand jury of each court.
A Tennesseean who had come into pos
session of a few shares of stock of a Sout
hern road by thedeath of a relative wrote
to the president to know what dividends
were being paid. No answer, lie wrote
again. No answer. He wrote weekly,
semi-weekly, tri-weekly, and finally daily;
but no answer was received. He finally
made a trip of 200 miles to walk in on
the president and ask him the question
direct. “Why, we don’t pay any divi
dends, of course,” was the answer. “And
cuss me if I want any!” exclaimed the
holder. “All I’m after is to lick S2OO
out of you for the trouble I've been to.”

THE MAXWELL LAM) GRANT.
The United States Supreme Ottnrt Con
tinue the Greatest of all (fraud*.
, Washington Correspondence New York Son ]
The Supreme Court of the Tinted
States to-day confirmed the Maxwell
grant, which was the title of the clainP
ante under that grant to 1,700,000
acres of land lying in New Mexico and
Colorado, along thedividing line of those
two Territories. The Maxwell grant has
been considered the biggest land fraud
that was ever perpetrated, and has al
ways lieen used as an illustration of big
swindles, but the Sujierior Court decides
that it is not a swindle at all. In 1882
two Canadian French men by the names
of Beaubien and Maraiidi, who were
traders at the old Indian jmeblo at Taos,
procured from the Spanish Government,
through the influence of the Viceroy of
Mexico, the grant of this enormous trai t
of land, unon a stipulation that il
should I**colonized by French Canadians.
Although very few colonists wen* ever
imjKjrted by the grantees, they contiumsl
to undisputed possession of the territory
until cession of that country to the
l nited States by the Rejmblic of Mex
ico. The treaty of Gttndalntqie-Hidalgo
stipulated that the Government of the
1 nited States should recognize all of this
old grant of laud, and the Supreme
Court to-day confirmed the title to the
Maxwell tract for this reason. It is the
finest grazing laud on the continent, and
its water privileges are almost jinceless,
Marandi conveyed his interests in the
tract to Beaubien, and the only child of
Beaubien was married to the old scout
and hunter, Lucien B. Maxwell, the
chum and jtartner of Kit Carson. They
together piloted Fremont across the
continent, and the “Path Finders” is a
tribute to their skill as guidesuml scouts.
Maxwell inherited through his wife the
entire grant, abandoned the business of
hunting, and built a fine {dace on the
l)iuai ron and kept ojieu house the rest of
his life, borrowing money to entertain his
friends until he became so embarrass**d
that the grant was seized by his creditors
and sold under un arrangement to a
|*arty of Amsterdam Dutchman. Ex-Sena
tor Chaffee, of Colorado, and Steven It.
Elkins were in teres tail iu the transaction,
and are supposed to have made a great
deal of money out of it. The grant is
covered with towns and ranches, and iu
the liatou Mountains are many valuable
mines. The chief town is Trinidad, a
pi nee of some 4,000 inhabitants, and the
entire population of the grunt can not
lie less than 20,000 or 2”>,0O0. These
people by the decision of the Supreme
Court are declared squatters, and the
Maxwell Grant Company will have to
take some means of ejecting them.
EXTRAORDINARY PREMONITION.
A Young Girl’s Narrow Kscape From a
Watery Grave.
The Midland Advertiser, published at
Wcduesbury, England, contains a sin
gular narrative. A girl named Louisa
Bean, living with her mother at Queen
street, Wednesbury, some time ago ex
pressed a desire to go to America, and
her friends ultimately yielded to her
wishes. A suggestion, however, was
made to her to go to Australia, and, de-
Kjiite her mother's remonstrances, she
decided to there. The family was poor
and great difficulty was experienced in
collecting tDo necessary funds and pro
viding the girl with an outfit. Her box
was forwarded to London, and she fol
lowed to join the Kapunda. Then fol
lowed the most extraordinary part of the
affair. The mother, who was jirostrated
with grief, began to have strange visions.
Rejieutedly she imagined she saw a large
rock jutting out from the ocean, and that
upon this rock was a large bird. Then
she would see a shiji loaded with passen
gers strike against the rock and sink. She
fancied she could hear the shouts of the
sailors aud the shrieks of the women on
board, and frequently, both at night and
day, the strange hallucination occujiied
her mind. The day before the ship sail
ed she was in the kitchen, when a cry of
“Oh, mother!” seemed to come from the
cellar. Even now the woman affirms
that it was Louisa who shouted, and
it was not the result of an excited and
imaginative brain. Mrs. Benn was so
alarmed that she at once telegraphed her
daughter to come back. The girl was at
the time on board the ship, and for a
moment she hesitated to obey. The doc
tor on board the vessel advised her to
stoji, but the schoolmaster urgt*d her to
obey her mother. She decided to leave
the shij> and go home, but her luggage
was not given to her, as it could not lie
got, and everything she posessed, exeejifc
what she wore, hail to lie left in the ship.
Until the news of the loss of the vessel
was conveyed to her she regretted she
had not remained on board. Several of
her companions are included among the
list of the drowned, and she is thus able
to realize the narrowness of her escape.
