defendant’s attorneys as “chicanery.”
Mr. Shelby, for the defense, endeav¬
ored to reply, but the hour for ad¬
journment haying arrived, tho court
adjourned without giving him an op¬
portunity. As Mr. Johnson left the
court room, Mr. Shelby darted after
him amt accosted him in the hallway:
“You have insulted me, sir, and I
must have satisfaction, sir!”
“\Y r ell sir,” responded Mr. Johnson,
interrogatively, expecting Mr. Shelby
to name the sort of satisfaction lie
wanted. Thereupon Mr. Shelby
struck him. Immediately Mr. Car¬
lyle sprang between the parties. In a
moment a dozen men seemed to be en¬
gaged in a general melee, and the
wildest excitement prevailed. Dep¬
uty Marshal John U. Leonard strode
into the center of the conflict and

“Hold, Enough!”
The department of state at tho na¬
tional capital has been informed,
throng'll dispatches from Minister

Gama had offered to surrender on

liimsclf aud followers. The Portu¬
gese naval commander, in person,
conveyed the offer.’ to President Peix
olo. Afterwards Da Gama left ids
ship and went on board the Portugese
vessel asylum. From this it is infer¬
red that Peixoto's reply was favorable,
and Secretary Gresham understands
that the war is virtually ended.

[Fmm the Syracuse Standard.]
Paring the past lew months there hate
appeared in the columns ol the Stamiard the
particulars ot a number of cures so remark¬
able as to justify the term miraculous. Those
eases were Investigated amt vouched for by
the Albany Journal, the Detroit News, Al¬
bany Srpress and other papers whose repu¬
tation Is a guarantee that the tacts were as
stated. PllVerent schools of medicine and
some of the brightest lights in the profession
hail treated these cases, unsuccessfully ; and
their recovery later on, therefore, amt Its
means, have created a profound sensation
throughout the country.
The Standard has published the above ac¬
counts for what they were worth, and are
happily able to supplement same to-day by
an equally striking case near home. The
case is over in Madison County, at Solsville,
and the subject is Mr. Philander Hyde, who
told the reporter the following
"I will be 70 in September. I was born In
BrookAcld. Madison County, where all try
life was spent until recently, when, becom¬
ing helpless. I came to live with my daugh¬
ter here. My life occupation has been that
of a farmer. I was always well and rugged
until two years ngo last winter, when I bad
the grip. When it left me I had a sensation
of numbness in my legs, which gradually
grew to be stiff at the joints and very pain¬ and
ful. I felt the stiffness in my feet first,
the pain and the stiffness extended to my
knees and to my hip joints, and to the bowels
and stomach, j»nd prevented digestion. To
move the bowels I was compelled to taka
great quantitiesotoastoroil.
‘•While 1 was in this condition, cold feel¬
ings would begin in my feet and streak up
niv legs to my back and would follow the
whole length of my back bone. I could not
sleep, X had no appetite, I became helpless. by
While in this condition I was treated a
number of prominent physicians. They did
me no good. I soon became perfectly help¬
less and lost all power of motion even in my
bed.'’
“The physicians consulted pronounced Mr.
father's case creeping paralysis," suid brought
and Mrs. Johnson, “and wtieu we
him home he had to be carried all the way
in a bed. The doctors said they could only
relieve the pain, and for the purpose he
took a pint of whisky a day for three months,
and morphine in great quantities. When he
began taking Pink Pills we stopped giving and
him morphine or any other medicine,
out off all stimulants. In ten days alter
father began taking the pills, he could get
out of bed and walk without assistance, and
has continued to Improve until now he walks
about the house and the streets by the aid
of a cano onlj.” “and pain hat
“Yes," said Mr. Hyde, the
gone out of my back and the numbness oils
of my legs. I have no more chilis, my di¬
gestion is good, and I have an excellent ap¬
petite.” Aud then, alter a pause, “But, ah,
me, I am an old man ; I have seen my best
days, and cannot hope to recover my old
vigor as a younger man might, but I am so
thankful to have the use of my limbs and to
be relieved of those dreadful pains." rills,
Others in Solsville are taking Pink
notably the mother of Abel Curtis, w.bo is
using them with satisfactory effect for rheu¬
matism, and Mrs. Lippitt, wife of ex-Senator
Lippitt, is using them with much benelit for
nervous debility.
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain, in a con¬
densed form, all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood, and

cal cure in all euses arising from mental
worry, overwork or excesses of whatever
nature.

The empty tomb brought ol
ror. fearful forebodings to the enemies
Christ; but hope, comfort, confidence, to His
friends.
Tell his disciples and Peter. Christ's first
appearance was to Mary Magdalene. John
xx., 18, out of whom He had cast seven
devils ; so His special message is to Peter,
who had denied Him.—Abbott.
Tell Peter- although he has sinned so
grievously. Tell Peter—for he has wept.
God s anger against His children ceases with
the commencement of their penitence.
Tell Peter—for he has suffered.
Tell Peter--for he is dear to Christ. Sin
can grieve Christ, cause Him it to withdraw, alter
wound and disfigure us, but cannot
His love.
Tell Peter—for he is your brother. The^
had sinned, Have not we denied our Lord?

The result of it all on the women—fear,
haste, energy. They were afraid, they ran,
they trembled and were amazed. From
Matthew we learn that as they “met Jesus in
t he way.” All who go upon gracious errands
meet Him in the way.
He is risen. “Through woman death was
first introduced into the world;to woman
the first announcement was made of the
resurrection.”
Proofs of Christ’s resurrection. I have
been used for many years to study the his
tory of other times, and to examine and
weigh the evidences of those who hare
written about them ; and I know of no one
fact in the history of mankind which in
proved by better and fulle/ evidence of every
sort, to the mind of a fair inquirer, than that
Christ died and rose again from the dead—
Dr. Arnold. Moreover, it was precisely the
same body which was buried that rose again,
or all the proofs fail.
I. Proved by the friends of Christ. t»
The apostles had the most powerful faith in
the fact. They were unanimous in their
declaration of it a few days after on the very
spot on which it occurred, and that to me*
who were prepared to do Anything to con¬
ceal the fact. 2. This faith came i*
direct opposition to their previous beliefs
and worldly interests. They had no expecta¬
tion and no hope of such resurrection. 3.
They had every opportunity for thoroughly
satisfying themselves on the point. 4. By
their declaration of the fact they induced
thousands of the very enemies of Christ to
believe in it, and that close to the time and
near the very spot on which it occurred. The
early Church universally believed in it;
and it is incredible that a myth, a false
story, should have so grown up without sub¬
stantial foundation—From Thomas’s Genius
of the Gospel. 5. They attested this fact not
only by their lives, but by their death. 6
Onfy.the fa.ct of the resurrection in the can spirit account and
for the marvelous change
character of the apostles. The resurrection
completely transformed them ; inspired them
with a new conception of Christ’s kingdom
as for all people, with a new courage to suf¬
fer for the sake of their risen Lord and His
kingdom, and Avith a new purpose to preach
Christ and Him crucified everywhere as a
spiritual redemption for sip, Acts fiction ii., is 39: v.,
41 ; x., 43. Neither fraud nor com¬
petent to account for the moral contrast.
II. Proved by the enemies of Christ. 1* It
was impossible for these enemies to deny th*
that Christ had by some mear.s left
grave. 2. It was impossible for thsm to give
any other explanation than that which they
noAV invented—that His disciples stole the only th*
body. 3. It was impossible give, for to this, be credited
explanation (a) disciples they could could not have stslea s
for the
Him if they would ; (b) it was in the last de¬
gree improbable that all the Roman watch
were asleep; (c) nor would the Jewish
council have voted money merely to havers*
ported a truth , (dl if the soldiers slept,
they could not have known that contradicted the disciples it
