k DRUGGIST’S MISTAKE. A Sick Man's Wife Disn irards the Druggist's Ad vice and so Saves the Life of Her Husband. I am a wood i arver by trade and it is out of my line to write letters, but my wife thought it was no more th in right t'.iat 1 Should let you know what your remedy has done for me, and I think so too. i I live in East 157th street, west of Third avenue, and have lived there for about twenty-three years, where I own real estate. Up to the time I am about to mention I had been a strong, well man. There was always snore or less malaria in the neighborhood, but I had not personally suffered from it. It Was in 1880 I had my lirst attack. It came on as sueh attacks commonly do, within ad aches, loss of appetite and ambition, chilly sensations with slight fever afterwards, a disposition to yawn and stretch, and so forth. I was employed at that time at Kil lians & Brothers, furniture manufacturers, in West 32d street. I hoped the attack would wear off, but as it didn’t I consulted a well-known and able physician in Morris ania, who gave me quinine and told me what to do. I can sum up Ihe first four and a half or five years of my exp :i ice in few words. Occasionally I was laid up for a day or two, hut on the whole I stuck to my work. I kept taking quinine, in larger doses from year to year, and kept on getting weaker and worse, slowly but surely, all the time. My trouble Was now well defined and its symptoms were Steady and regular. I had dumb ague in its worst form, and it was grinding me down in spite of all that I could do or the doctors could do. It held me in a grip like fire in a burning coal mine. The poison had gone all through and over me and nothing was able to touch it. I was fast losing flesh and strength, and about March, 1884,1 knocked off w ork entirely and went home to be down sick, and to die for all I could tell. I ran down so rapidly that I soon became unable to walk any distance. Later I went from room to room in my own house only by friends holding me up by each arm. The doses of quinine were increased until I often took thirty grains at a dose. The effects of this tremendous stimulation was to make sue nearly wild. It broke my sleep all up, and I often walked the floor, or staggered about it, all night long, scarcely able to bear any noises or even human speech. My tem per was extremely irritable. As to food, one of my little children would eat more in a Sneal than I could in a day. I would order food and then turn from it in disgust. I lived on quinine and other stimulants and on myself, like a bear in winter. The quin ine set my head in a whirl, and the liquor— given as a medicine—made my stomach so sick I could not tolerate it. From 175 pounds (my proper weight) I ran down to 97 pounds—the weight of a light girl—and was scarcely better than a Skeleton. . If anybody had taken a hatchet and knocked me down and killed me I should have been better off. During the latter part of this period, early in 1886, my physician said: “Miller, there’s no use in my taking any more money of you, I can’t do you any good. I might pour pounds of quinine down your throat aud it ■Wouldn’t help you.” On the strength of this I gave up the use of quinine altogether, and made up my mind to do nothing more and take my chances. Three w eeks afterwards —about the last of May—my wife saw an advertisement of Kas kine in a New York paper. She told me of it. I said: “Stuff and nonsense! it can’t do me any good.” But she went to a drug gist’s, nevertheless, to get it. The druggist advised her against Kaskine; he said it was nothing but sugar; that she ought not to throw- away her money on it, &c. lie said be didn’t keep it, but could get it if she in sisted on having it. Turning away in dis gust my wife spoke to our neighbor, Mr. A. G. Ilegewald, who got her a bottle at a drug Store in Sixth avenue. Almost against my will, and without the least faith, I began taking it. In one week I was better. I began to sleep. I stopped “seeing ghosts.” I began to have an appe tite and to gain strength. This was now the first of June, ISB6, and by the end of that month I was back at my bench at C. P. Smith’s scroll sawing factory in 116th street, where I work now. Since then I have never lost a day from sickness. Taking Kaskine. only, about forty pellets in four equal doses a day, I continu ed to gain. The malaria appeared to be killed in my system, and now I’ve got back my old weight—l7s pounds—and my old Strength to labor. lam an astonishment to myself and to my friends, and if Kaskine did not do this I don’t know what did. The only greater thing it could do would be to bring a dead man to life. Fkedeuick A. Mim.f.u. C3O East 157th Street, New York. P. S.—For the absolute truth of the above, Statement I refer to the following gentle men, who are personally acquainted with the facts: Mr. Alexander Weir, 626 156th Street; Mr. George Seaman, 158th street and Courtlandt avenue; Mr. A. Moebus, 154th Street and Courtlandt avenue; Mr. P. F. Vaupel, 154th street and Courtlandt avenue; Mr. John I.unny, 030 East 158th street: Mr. John Renshaw, 124 125th street, and many others. I will also reply to letters of inquiry. We submit that the above astonishing cure, vouched for as it is by repul able men, is deserving of a thorough and candid inves tigation by thinking people. And we fur ther submit that when druggists turn away customers by falsifying the character of a remedy because th- y do not happen to have it on hand, they do a great wrong. If this afflicted man had not disregarded the drug gist's advice and scut elsewhere for the remedy he would without doubt have been in his grave. Other letters of a similar character from prominent individuals, which stamp Kaskine as a remedy of unflottb; • I merit, will be sent on application. Price fcl.oo, or six bottles $5.00.

ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY LIVES LOST London, September 5.—A theater nt Excte took fire this evening during a performance of “Romany Rye.” The occupants of the pit, after an awful struggle, escaped, but many- of them wore greatly injured. There was only one exit from the gallery, and the rush there was terrific. Scores were trodden under foot and suffocated. Fire escapes were brought to the window and many inside were rescued. Sixty corpses have been removed. The in jured survivors were sent to the hospital. The mortality is estimated at 100. The structure burned was the Th eater Royal. It was built after the latest designs, and was elaborately fitted, being considered one of the prettiest in the kingdom. There was a full house tonight, and everything was all right until the end of the third act, at half-past ten, when a drop scene fell and in a moment the whole stage was A MASS OF FIRE. Wild panic ensued. Occupants of the stalls, pit and dress circle escaped after a dreadful crushing, many being badly bruised. The ac tors and actresses were in their dressing rooms when the lire began and all escaped. The fire originated in the flies and spread rapidly, filling the theater with a dense smoke. Oc cupants of the upper circle and gallery rushed to|t he windows screaming frantically and many jumped from the windows and were injured and others were rescued the aid of lad ders from tire verandas. Tho fire blazed fiercely, lighting up tho whole city. People were seen flocking to tho scene in thousands, inquiring tor friends. The scene inside tho theater when the fire broke out was an awful one. Some men im plored the audience to be cool, but it was im possible to check the frantic rush. The thea ter hose was brought into use in a few minutes, but the water had little effect on tho flames. Tho actors and actresses were taken from win dows with the aid of ladders. They lost every thing except what they wore at the time. Up to tho present time ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY BODIES have been recovered. They are almost unre cognizable. Thirty injured survivors have been taken to the hospitals. Fire burned through out the night. Search for the bodies proceeds slowly. In many cases every shred of clothing is burned off and tho bodies look black and raw. There are various reports as to the origin of the fire. It is only certain that the Haines broke out in the scene shifters’ department. The fire brigade arrived, five minutes after the breaking out of the flames, but the efforts of the firemen were without effect. There were several thrilling rescues. A majority of tho victims were men and boys. About thirty women were burned. When the tiro started a drop secnewas low ered to prevent the draught. Some of the actors opened a door to escape, causing the fire to burst through the drop scene and to ignite the gallery. The flames overtook people who were wedged in an immovable mass and ROASTED THEM TO DEATH, and many who were rescued alive died soon after being brought out of the burning build ing. The occupants of the dress circle escaped without serious harm. London, September 6.—A telegram from Exeter at 5 o’clock this morning, says that the fire is under control. Only the walls of the structure are standing. People, distracted with anxiety, are wandering about the streets in the neighborhood of the t heater in search of friends, who attended last night’s perform ance. The hospitals are besieged by anxious inquirers for friends. Twenty badly burned persons, who were admitted to the hospitals, died a few moments after they were received. The stairway leading to the gallery was literally packcdwith bodies, while at the head of the stairs there were scores of others piled one on top of other unfortunate victims who had’ rushed to the door when tho alarm was given, but found the stairway blocked and all means of escape cut off. In a short time the flames had reached them, and they suffered a horrible death. In many cases father and mother both perished, and numerous children are thus left without means of sup port. Several of the bodies were burned so that only a small cinder remained. The num ber of persons severely injured is sixty. Two stalls of a stable belonging to a hotel adjacent to tho theater are filled with remains that it has been iin impossible to identify. Most of the killed were adults and chiefly men. But few children perished. A mother, father and child were found clasped in one embrace. All three had been burned to death. In nearly every case the clothing had been torn off the victims. From many of the bodies limbs were missing, and the remains showed that they had been wrenched off. Several whole fami lies of from two to five persons lost their lives. The scene slufter says the lire originated among some gauze, which in some way became ignited. The flames spread to the scenery, of which the stage was un usually full, owing to preparations for the production of a pantomime. London. September B.—The letter contain ing the invitation to Mr. Gladstone to attend the centennial celebration of tho American constitution at Philadelphia was dated June 24, and was signed by Messrs. Kasson, Little, Carson and Cochrane, for the committee. Sir. Gladstone was invited as the guest of tho com mittee, and he was informed by the gentlemen who convened to him tho invitation that it was the only one sent to any person not an Ameri can citizen or an accredited diplomat, the ex ception in his case being intended as an ex press recognition of the historical ties which bound great Britain and America before tho declaration of independence. He was also assured that he would be al lowed to make whatever arrangements he pleased, and would ho entertained in America as no man has been since the visit of General Lafayette. Mr. Gladstone, on July 20, made reply to the letter, and assured the committee of the great honor lie felt in receiving an invitation to the celebration of the centennary of tke American constitution. His letter continues: The attractions of tho nvitation are enhanced to me by the circumstances that I have always regard ed that constltuilm as the m >st remarkable work known ri modi in times, to Lave been produce I by tile human intellect at a single stroke, so to speak, in its appiieati.cn to political al lairs.

To tiiy Sullivan, Dillon, Cox, Sheehy, William O’Brien, ami Phillip Stan ho|>e, all members of the house of common-, and several priests, moved towards Ballycoree, the approaches to which were guarded by tho soldiers and police. ‘lhe nrocesdon, finding its further pi■ gross barred, halted in tho field, and Messers Sullivan, Stanhope and O’Brien made speeches from their car riage*. A troop of hussars, bead ed by Colonel Turner, divisional magistrate, rode up to whore the procession had halted, and Colonel Turner ordered tho THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION, ATLANTA. GA., TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13. 1887. meeting to disperse within five minutes. Mr. Stanhope hand* d Colonel Turner a copy of the res dutions adapted by the meeting, claimink Ih ioc rule, d daring adherence to Parr, elf, thanking the liberal party, pledging resistance to tho proclamation of the league and denounc ing Lind grabbing. Mr. Stanhope de. ared that the proceedings of the meeting were legal and that if a collision occurred between the people and the troops ho would hold Colonel Turin r responsible. Colonel Turner replied that he was bound to execute his orders. After the parley the procession returned to Ennis, and O'Brien addressed tho crowd in O'Connell square. The soldiers and police again appearing, the procession passed on to the hotel, which tho loaders entered. The crowd then dispersed quietly. There were lighted candies in the windows of almost every house in Ennis last night. An enormous crowd welcomed the visitors and es corted them to the hotel, where addresses were presented to them. M. Stanhope made a long reply, in which ho congratulated Ireland upon having secured tho sup)x>rt of the English lib erals. Mr. Dillon enjoined the crowd to be peaceful during the night, and deprive the authorities of every excuse or palliation for tho outrage they proposed to indict at the morrow’s meeting. Sullivan and Cox also spoke. The crowd dispersed, cheering for the nationalists, and groaning for tho government. Tne streets were alive wiih people at an early hour this morning. Tho houses were decorated with banners and political mottoes, ami gayly dressed ladies were at tho windows watching the animated scene. League bands paraded the streets. Father Walsh, the parish priest, presided at the meeting of today. In spite of the pouring rain, the greatest enthusiasm prevailed. 31 r. Cox proposed resolutions protesting against tho proclamation of the league. Mr. Stanhope said that tho meeting was a grand and noble protest in favor of the right of free speech, lie, had come to tell them, in the name of the English people, that they claimed for Irishmen the right of freely and publicly gathering to express their wishes. 31 r. Dillon, who was loudly cheered, said: “I am more proud than 1 can tell you, to see you here today in your thousands to show that you will not be intimidated by any such pro clamation as that placarded on your walls. I f this meeting is illegal, I invito the government to imprison the whole of this crowd. [Laugh ter.] As for us wo are prepared to take the consequences of our words. We shall continue to put down land grabbing in spite of appeals to the government, and shall make every land lord wiio treats his tenants unjustly a scare crow and terror to evil doers. No evicted farm shall bo taken in care (cheers), and I make the government a pres ent of that. (Applause). While lam at liber ty, and we w ill continue to hold meetings and preach to you tho gospel of deliverance for tho poor. He concluded by referring to the pres ence of English members as an augury of the hour when landlords would no longer dare to interfere with the free meetings of Irishmen. Though our meeting place is held by dragoons today, tho hour is close at hand when wo will be the mas ters oi Ireland. [Cheers.] Colonel Turner’s par y was now seen gallop ing up. Mr. O’Brien called upon the people to hold their ground. The police and tho military held Ballycoree hill lhe whole day. Some English ladies aud gentlemen visited the spot out of curiosity, w hen a detachment of mil itary came up at double quick, thinking that another meeting was being held. The ollicors were chagrined on hearing tho merry jests of the ladies at their expense. At the nationalist meeting today at Middle ton. ten miles from Armagh, several po’iicemen, who w«ve detailed to keep order, were attacked and badly injured. O’Brien Did Not Appear. Dublin,September 9.—Mitchellstown. where the case of the government against William O’Brien, under tho coercion a< t, was to have been heard today, was crowded all day with civilians, police and soldiers. Mr. O’Brien did not appear in court to answer the sum mons. Service of summons was proved and the judge granted a warrant for O’Brien’s ar rest. An open air indignation meeting was subsequently held. Henry Lahpuchere and others made speeches, denouncing the govern ment for its course in regard to Ireland. At Mitchellstown today a conflict occurred at a meeting which was held in Market square. The police were attempting to pro tect the government stenographer when a fight took place, and the crowd repulsed tho police, sixty in number, several of whom were struck -with sticks and .stones and severely injured. The police obtained reinforcements and returned to the scene. They tired six shots and two men were instantly killed. Several other persons were wounded. The rioters dispersed, but they now threaten to re gather. The meeting in Market square was attended by 7,000 persons. Messrs Dillon, Brunner, Labouchere, John Ellis, Gill, Condon and O’llea were present. A government reporter with an escort of police tried to push to the front. Tho crowd rushed to them with sticks and stones. The police made a charge against the crowd and were repulsed by men on horse back. Mr. Condon tried to pacify the crowd. Mr. Dillon advised them to treat the police with silent contempt, because homo rule was nearly won, and then Irish forces would bo under control of tho people instead of, as now, in the hands of their enemies. A row was started, however, and reinforcements of po lice,who had been drawn up from tho barracks, tired into tho crowd. One man was killed and several others wounded. One of tho wounded has since died. The police next charged and dispersed tho crowd. Mr. Labouchere was a witness of the whole scene from a carriage. He asked Magistrate Seagravc if tho meeting might bo held else where without molestation. Seagravc replied that the meeting might he held anywhere out side the town. A constable came un and spoke to Seagravc, and the latter immediately corrected himself, declining to allow the meet ing to bo held anywhere. Seagrave was in a hotel when tho police fired. Is is not known at present who ordered them to tire. Mr. Dillon, Father O’Callaghan and Father O’Connell followed the police and entered the barracks with tin in. Two priests were put out. Mr. Dillon was inside during the firing. He says that much confusion pre vailed], nobody seeming to be in command. Mr. Labouchere arrived later and asked the inspector to ascertain who tired the first shots. The inspector refused to in ikc any such in quiry. A youth has been found who says he can identify the constable who killed Riordan. Dr. Fenton expresses the belief that Riordan was not killed by a bullet but by a blow on the head with the muzzle of a carbine. Fifty-four constables were trcatedjfor slight in juries. Mitchellstown is quiet tonight. I’ress Comments.

The Bank of England has only 2»>7, OiX) Ingold, and thp Bank of F-a’v e hus in gold and silver i? 179,- 000,000, leaving bothb nks $5H2,000,<i00 of money, against in our country. Now, then, that gold in France and England is the basis of a circu lation, of which it is but a percentage, whereas our gold is the basis of no circulation, our silver is the basis of no circulation. True, against the 0( oof gold we have They would be just as good for all purposes if that, gold was l ark in the mil e We have $147,000,000 of silver certificates, and they would be just as good if that imm< nse amount of silver was made up in the form of a monument to (riutofthe sanu s’ze as the marble monument, audit would be much safer than It is now, for nobody could carry it oil*. Let us see what theefe t of this Is. The hoarding of gold and silver, the reducing of our circulation, has brought inteied here to six and seven percent, while in today’s report from London Inter© t there is one per cent. To get money for i u iness we have to sell our four per cent coupon bonds of the United states, payable in IX9I. at 10S'b and these same bonds are silling in London at 111 1 b So that to get money for the business of the c intry we have to pay three percent, and yet we have double the money lying without any use whatever in the treasury’ locked up. This has no political significance, because this con i:i >n of things is the result of the legislation of the republican party on the one side and of the want of legislation on the part of th© democratic party on tho other. Both are to blame. The question is, 1 o v is this money to be got out of the treasury? My i lea, comradi s, is that it should be distributed equitably. How is that? Make a service pension for every man who served three months in the war so much, and soon, ac cording to the desert of tlie pensioner. In this way the money would bo distributed, and could never go wrong. Aman gets it who earns it. A man gets it who owns it. it goes to every village and every hamlet in the country. And it has to go through the hands of the butcher and the baker and the candlestick maker, and all others, before it gets into the bank to bo loaned outat any per cent. It is put in circulation. The great ques tion is raised, how can tlie government put this into circulation? My comrades,let them give it to us to whom it belongs, and we will see to it that it is put Into circulation. We will become re sponsible for that, if for no more. But it may be said this can’t be done by this administration, be cause It is not a democratic measure. To that I answer that once before tin’s country had a surplus revenue under a man by tlie name of Andrew Jack son, somewhat of a democrat, and he distributed it, ns did the state of Maine, per capita, so many dol lars a head. There is in the treasury ai this mo ment $500,000,000, just $lO a head for every man, woman and child in this country. Give it to tho soldier according to his service, and you can’t say that you give It to the man who has not earned it. But it may be said that a part of this money be longs to the south. They have paid the taxes. Yes, I agree they have, but not much of it, except on whisky and tobacco, and we have consumed about as much of their tobacco un i drank as much of their whisky to pay the taxes as they have. But I am looking upon tin's as a matter of statesmanship by which we can relieve the finances of tlie coun try, and I want to Le just and equitable. Almost seventeen years ago, I said in congress that I looked forward to the day when we should give re lief to the disabled confederate soldiers. 1 was very much criticized at that time for saying it. and whenever I was criticised that means abuse. 1 bore that with a patient shrug, for “sufferance Is tlie bulge of all my tribe.” J lie pension is given to the veil man as a matter of.reward for his valor in the army; the pension was given the disabled man as a matter of mercy for his loss. And I am ready, here and now whether it is with obloquy or with praise, to say that as soon as we have rewarded the men who fought for the union, then lam content that tlie surplus money of the United States shall be taken for the purpose of administering to the necessities of the confederate sojdiers of the south, who were not blameable for this war being brought upon us, but are the only suflen rs by it. Bvt I want to say another thing to my friends of the north and south. We never shall be al h to relieve the necessities of the wounded and maimed confederates until ( very union soldier is rewarded for his valor and loyalty, and tho quicker every man votes for that the quicker he will bring . b git this act of magnanimity o the southern people. Therefore, i insist that wo should deman 1 this pension. I don’t mean we, as soldiers, but that'he country should demand it as the means of getting rid of tlie surplus, which, by piling ut» money in our tr a ury, makes the rate of interest here 7 per cunt, v hen the rate of in;e I st in England is down to 1 percent. Tlds is tlie first dav of September; on 'be first Monday of December congress meets. Within thirty days this act might be pas ed and the distri bution of the money could go on directly and relieve the whole country—the financial, mercantile, man ufacturing and every eUss of producer, wiieiiiei in the shop or in the fkTd. If we demand it, if the people require it, neither party in the face of u pies idential election will 'lure refuse it s xty days. THE FIERCE SOLDIER OF CHILI. As a soldier tho Chillano is brave to reck lessness, and a sense of fear is unknown to him. Ho will not endure a siege, says W. E. Curtis, in Har per’s Magazine, nor can l»c made to fight rt long range, but as soon ns he xeee the enemy lie fires one volley, drops his gun, and rushes in with his “cur ve.” ll.s endurance is as great as his courage, and no North American Indian can travel so fur without rest or go so long without food or water ns the Chil lano jeon or “Roto,” as the mixed race is called, As tho “Cholo” In Peru Is the descendant of tlie Spaniards and the Incas, so is the “Roto” in Chili the child of tho Sjiuniard and the Aran canian Indians, the race of giants with which the early explorers re ported that Patagonia was peopled—“menne ot that Liggincss,” as Sir Francis Drake reported, “that it b emed the trees of the forests were uprooted and were moving away.” They have the Spanish ten acity of j»urpose, tho Indian endurance, and tho cruelty of both. Each soldier, in the mountains or the desert, cut les on his breast two buckskin bags. In one are the leaves of the co".a plant, in the other powdered lime made of the ashes of potato-xkins. The coca is the strongest sort of a tonic, and by chewing it the ( hillano soldier can abstain from food oi drink for a week or ten days at a stretch. The Chillano soldier is not easily subjected to dis cipline, and outvandals the vandals In tho destruction of probity, as the present condition of Peru will prove. Ho burns.and de stroys everything within bls reach that has shed tore I a > enemy. No authority can restn n his hand. The awful scenes of devastation that took jdaee in Peru have nothing to parallel them In the annals nf mod rn warfare. On the battle-fields nine-tenths of the d< a l were found with their throats cut, and the Cldliunos took no prisoner*, ex c< pl when a whole arm / capitulate 1. They ask no quarter and give none.

Mahone Sues Riddleborger for Five Hundred Dollars, WHICH HE SAYS HE LOAN: D HIM Woodstock, Va., September 7.—ln the circuit court was tried tho suit of Senator Mii hone against*Senator Riddlebcrger, on a bond of .V‘hK>, givcQ Maho’U' by Riddlcberger. Ma hon© claimed that the money was loaned to Riddlebergor personally. Senator Riddlebor ger testified that every statoinent made by Mahone was untrue. He said he had no cotv versation with Mahone in 1881: that ho had no connection with him; that ho did not see him and thr.t Alahone was not in Woodstock in 1881. Tho senator said he received money from Mahone in 1879, u hen Mahone was elect ed to tho United States sen ite. Ho spoke of being in a hotel in Now York at tho time. There wore several lively xpatfl between Sena tor Riddlebergor and W. E. Craig, Mahono’s counsel. “I. waive all objection to anything (he Sona ta’ may say on this occasion,” said Craig. “I am glad you waive objections to my tel ling tho truth,” promptly replied tho Senator. "(lo mi,” said Craig. “I’ll go on without yon saying so,” replied the senator. “This note,” the senator con tinued, “was given in W oodstock. 1 did not got tlie benefit of the money. It went to can did. tu ,or if the truth were known, or it were possible to prove”—Here an objection was made and the senator broke off. T did not give born! at the time, and W’as not i: quested to do until ymi, Craig, camo to my house and asked me to do so, when I was advertised to speak in Soulhwi ~' Virginia.” He (lien began to toll about the *■ d.COj, but was told to coniine himself to the ciuse. Tho senator said ho got the SIJMM) and tho SSOO at t he. same time, though he receised one at Fair fax Court house and tho other hurt*. Craig, on cross-examination, showed tho sen ator a letter which ho read and acknowledged as his. It was a L iter to Willi;.m Mahone, dated Woodstock, Va., July 17, l' K 1. It was ab-ng, sniej, gossipy letter, containing news and laniily matters. One ]>ass:igo i\ nd with emphasis by Mr. Craig,was as follows: ’• id nil received tne draff < n you yestordav, and (heeled mu* h of ye'l'it ay m ai’.pivingft. Thank God, I now have no obb.;aii< ns but to one l>erso!i—ymrself. 1 saw Randolph Tuck i Mondaj', and he assures me I will get mj niilro.i I ie< s during tl.o wint- r.and yon may io »k fin a piom ■; r. turn. Tho senator acknowledges that both the note dated July 1(5, 1881, and the letter, July 17, L*<'l. were written with (ho same kind of ink, violet, which he says ho has beun using lor ten years, and possibly with the same p,*n. Tho senator said ho owed Mahone nn a note for $750, given in 1886, when witness wa < a Tilden elertor. Mahone never made a demand on him for this money. Ho did not remember how ho applied the idoncy. It was for cam paign purposes, for debts owed by the com mittee and gentlemen of tho party. He did n<»t apply a dollar to his personal obligations. Witness borrowed money of the bank, < .»oh at a timo, and got others to imlor > for him, as he was not ashamed to s. • hr u »d not tho credit. Hu never stole a dollar of iLa funds, and hoped every man can miv the ; .m. Ho never promised to pay Mali nr .ir ■ ’ noy. “Ten yours subsequently,” said i r senator, “I wa< asked to put SS(X) in ih Uielnnmid Whig, but declined hr‘auso I struggling in the debt and turmoil. I coni i not see a man «»n the square of \\ o- dsi » k that 1 did not owe and could not pay. No., t* II if you. Craig, put in any. I never promis' dto .« y Mahone out of railroad fees.

I never Leaid of Muhoue's el-'i'H forthis money until you, Craig, came t«» my h > ise.” The jury was diseharyrd umil lom- rrow. On tho next suit for the $l,()o0, Alahmm, it is said, will bo nn sent and an exciting time is expected. ‘‘Maliono never would have sued me had he carried tho legislature that elected John Daniel to the Unit' d States senate,” said Kiddlebergcr after adjournment. A BLAZING BEAR IN A TENT. Ono night a very interesting game was in progress. Mark Farm y held a king full against Squiers's flush, and Noisy Smith staid in ailh a bob tall straight and a placid smile, kin - mi F.splnosa, California, correspond nt of the N -.v York Sun. There was a double biindftil of beans on o •of the oil can. Ah Suey bad oie to sleep at the buck of the tent, ami was chopping wood hi his dreams. Just ns Noisy Smith was about to raise Ah Suey sprang up with a yell and bound* d out of the tent, upsettii g tlie oil can tin I twoofthe players enroute. Aigucllo 1* o' ed up in anger, and drew his revolver to take a shot nt the fleeing Chinaman, but changed his mind when he saw lhe head of u grizzly jtoked through the rear flap of tho tent. The bear was surveying the sc n■» with evident astonlshmi nt and some inteiest. Arguello's anger was diverted toward the bear. “Ahl you breaka up sueh a pot as that!” he cried. “Carajo!” And he blazed away at the shaggy head. There was a howl, a charge, and a rush of the play rs out of tho tent. They did not wait to seize their guns. Ihe bear knocked down a tent polo at one end and Farney carried away the other os lie plunged out headlong. The tent camo down on tho bear and enveloped him. For an instant there was a young earthquake under the canvas. Then it be came a volcanic disturlianee. The am j> exploded and set fire to tho whole mass. The plug must have been knocked out of the big oil-can by tlie bear’s vigorous antics. All lhe oil was ablaze In an Instant and tent, blankets and bear were enveloped in flames. Ar guello, Smith and Farney happened to have their revolvers on them, and they stood around and add ed to the bear’s discomfort by plugging bullets into him. Squicrs had no pistol and prudently got up into a tall tree and yelled “Fire!” Ah Suey had crawled into a hollow log and kept very still. 'l he bear wailed and yelled with j a n and rage, and rolled over in the burning canvas. It was not much more than half a minute before he broke out of the mass with a howl and rushed blindly about, striking furioudy at trees and everything in his way. Pieces of the tent clung to him, and Le tore t hem off with his claws an 1 teeth arnl sent blazing fragments flying in all directions. His shaggy hair had become saturated with oil here ami there, and was blazing and snapping merrily In pate bus. His fury was something frightful and his general aspect *!*■':.d'-'ily demoniac. Al fiist he did not e any of the jaity, but in one of his mad whirls he < aught sight of smith, who bad just fired at him. The bear charged on Smith, who turned and san like a deer, with the blazing lieur in literally hot pm -ult. Smith did not notice tlie direction lie took until, in half a dozen jumps, he saw the bank of the er ek before him. 'lhem was no time to turn. He put all bis energies into his Pgs and leaped as far into tho stream as he could, falling lect for niost with a' ( hug.” The illuminated bear fol lowed, falling with a prodigious splash ami a dis tinct sizzle. Then Noisy Smith dived under water, tuin dup stream,and swain silently back to the bank from which he had leaj>ed. The b jar drifted down stream and swam to the opposite bank. Farney and Arguello peppering at him with their revolvers. H ■ reached the other side and disap peared in the clmjairul wailing and moaning with pain, and that was the last seen of him. Texas Could Bury Three Times tho Earth’s Aggregate Population. From ti e Kansas City Star. Considerable disputes have been had relative to the Bj>a(e required to contain the jgjople of the earth from Adam to the end of ix thousand years. The si>ucc required Is comparatively Insignificant w hen the almost Incomprehensible mimlxr of peo ple are taken into consideration. The basis of cal culation Is pr< s imably overestimated.

Allowing one square yard to each, they would occupy a sj»ace of 87,418 square miles. This Is a little more than one-half the size of Missouri (fi3,415 nillcsj and seven times less than tlie size oi Texas (2J»,7h0 square mil ,) Allowing 3x6 feet for interment, Texas would afford burial f>r three times the numtier, or on lhe sirne basis, w ould contain all tho people of the earth for ls,<xx) years. Allowing two feet to stand on, for each per son, at the end of 6,000 ye irs they would make a I (dt around lhe earth (25,000 miles) 177 deep, or from the • arth to the moon (2 <O,O 0 mbes) deep, whilst it w mld take eight tlme.i th ; numb r to ex tend from here to the sun in a single line.

Ayer’s Sarsapariilat affects the blood in each stage of its’ formation and is, therefore, adapted to a greater variety of complaints than any other known medicine. Boils and Carbuncles, which defy ordinary treatment, yield to Ayer’s Sarsuparilla after a comparative. ' iy brief tria., Mr. C K Murray, of Charlottesville, Va., writes that for years Ae was af flicted with boils which caused him much suffering These were succeeded by carbuncles, ot which lie nad several at one time He then began the use of Ayer’s Sarsapariiia, and after takin,; three bottles, the carbuncles disap peared, and for six years ho has not had even a pimple. That insidious disease, Scrofula, is the fruitful cause of innumerable com plaints, Consumption being only one of many equally fatal. Eruptions, ulcers, sere eyes, glandular swellings, weak and wasted muscles, a capricious appe tite, and tho i;>re are pretty sure indi cations of a scrofulous taint in the system. Many otherwise beautiful faces arc disfigured by pimples, eruptions, ami unsightly blotches, which arise from impure blood, showing tlie need of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla to remedy the evil. All sufferers from blood disorders should give Ayer's Sarsaparilla a fair trial, avoiding all powders, ointments, and washes, and especially cheap and worthless compounds, winch not only fail to effect a euro, but more frequently aggravate and son firm the diseases they aio fraudulently advertised to remedy.
