A SOUTHERN EDEN. An Explorer's Story of the Argen tine Republic. Tuk. Richest Country In Thk World—Falls That Equal Ni agara— BkACTIFUL WOMKN And Proorkssivk Men— Buknos Ayrks. Mr. W. P. Tisdel, the noted African explorer, has just returned from a trip to the Argentine Republic. A writer for the New York Mail and Ex- press conversed with him about the magnificent El Dorado, as he termed the Argentine Republic. ‘‘It is the Utopian country of the universe,” he said. “In climate, re sources, energy and future possibilities that country is the greatest on the face of the earth. It fulfills in every way the dream of the poet, the reality of the liberty loving and the wealth that first led the adventurous Spaniard to ■eek out and conquer unknown worlds. The first impetus given to progress in the Republic was when 1 resident Sarmiento inaugurated the system of public schools fifteen years ago. Since then an Eden of prosperi ty lias followed.” “How about the attempt to assas sinate General Roca, the President, the other day?” “That was the actof an insane man. Even model republics are not free from cranks. President Roca is pop ular, and the country has made great progress during his term, which ex pires on the 8th of October. He will then resume his position as General-in- Chief of the army. President Roca will be succeeded by Juarez Selman; who was elected by an overwhelming majority. A Presidential term Is six years. There are two political par ties—the Liberals and Conservatives. The former have won every eleotion, and perhaps will continue to do so for many years. The constitution and laws are fashioned after those of the United States. The republio contains 4,000,000 people and an area of 1,900,- 000 squares miles. The seasons there are reversed. I left the last of May; it was very cold. Now it is dead win ter there. Thejcliuiate surpasses that of any country. It is life-giving and invigorating. Reef hung up in the open air never decays, but dries to a state of preservation, and great quantities are shipped all over the world.” “What kind of adebt does the mod el republic groan over?" “She smiles under a foreign and domestic debt of $120,000,000. The rovenuesfor 1886 were $50,000,000 and the expenditures $30,000,000. The foreign commerce of ,1884 amounted to a grand total of $150,000,000] Gold has recently been discovered in the Province of Patagonia, and an ex pedition has been fitted out under the direction of the wealthy capita’ist, Senor Lezaina, who has gone thither to explore and report. Such things constantly kept the country booming and give capital a chance to invest. The republic owns the great Province of the Missiones, considered the rich est in the world.” “The falls of Ygazu, a few miles above the intersection of the rivers Ygazu and Parama, on the borders of the Missiones, are considered superior in size, beauty and sublimity to the falls of Niagara. They are mtich wider and have a fall of twenty feet great er than Niagara. The volume of water is not as great as the latter, but for picturesqueness they go far ahead of the world-famous falls.” “How does Buenos Ayres compare with other cities?” “It is the New York of that con tinent. There is no city in the world to equal it in enterprise and wealth to its size. It has a population of 450,- 000, and supports twenty eight daily newspapers. Everybody reads. The papers cost two and a half cents per copy. The majority are printed in Spanish, but nearly every language is represented. Buenes Ayres has more miles of street railroads than any other city in the world. The houses are generally one-story high. Of late, however, bank and public buildings have been erected three and four stories high. The only building material is brick. Telephones are everywhere, and the city is lit up with electricity. There are twelve theatres as finely appointed in every way as any in Europe or the United States. “But the city is shut off from the world?” “No, only shut off from the United States. From thirty to sixty mail steamers arrive monthly and ride in one of the finest ports of entry in the world. One steamer departs monthly for the United States. There are several lines of steamers carrying frozen cattle to Europe. One beef ex tract company at Fray Bentos kill over 2,500 head of cattle per day. Emigration is pouring in from Italy, Spain, France, Greece and Ireland. The Americans do not come to any extent, although they would be gladly welcomed. The new city of La Plata, capital of the Province of Buenos Ayres, twelve miles from the city of Buenos Ayres, is considered the most wonder ful place of its size that has ererbeen built. It contains 30,000 inhabitants. The city was constructed at a great expense by Governor Reoha, witliin a period of five years. The public buildings are comparable only to. some of the finest in the United States. Electricity, telephones and all the modern improvements are in use. Millions upon millions have been spent in beautifying the city and erect ing handsome buildings.” “Well, have they many women in the model city?” “Ah! yes, and the most beautiful that eyes ever gazed upon. Mr. Frank Vincent, author of the ‘Land of the White Elephant,’ came up with me. He declares that the Span ish women in the. Argentine Republic are the most beautiful on the face of the globe.” * * * * Piles, tumors, rupture and flstul®, radicallv cured by improved methods. Book, 10 cents in stamps.

A LIE WHICH BECAME FAMOUS. Origin of the Saying “And It Wasn't a good Day for Ducks, Either.” Atlanta Constitution. In 1800, the year before the war, a party of northern Illinois hunters hied themselves to the lakes of Min nesota for an animal duck hunt of a few weeks, says the 8t. Louis Globe- Democrat, making the journey to St. Paul, which was at that time but little more than a frontier village, by a steamer from Dubuque. Among the party was a chap named Truax, a proverbial liar, but a jolly, good-na tured fellow withal, whose predomin ant weakness was readily excused if not entirely overlooked, by those who knew him well. Abe, that being his first name, seemed to struggle more recklessly and naturally with the truth when a ‘ra]kingabouthis prow ess as a hunter of game than on any other subject. One afternoon, as the steamer was plowing its way through Lake Peyin, a number of the male passengers were seated forward on the boiler deck in little knots, passing the time away in conversation. Abe was a prominent figure in one of the groups, and had already astonished himself fairly by the whoppers he had successfully got off, when tlie subject of duck hunting, tlie mission which himself <tnd friends were out on, was adverted to. “I’ve shot a few ducks in my time,” broke in Abe during a momentary lull in talk. “How many did you ever kill in one day?" queried a cross-eyed passenger from down about Burling ton. ‘‘You may not believe me, sir,” replied Truax, “but in the late fall of ’57 I went out alone one morning about seven miles with my dog and gun and brought home 200 ducks by actual count, and it wasn't a very good day for ducks, either!” “You did all that alone, and in one trip?” asked the cross-eyed man as he put down some figures on an envelope with a pencil ne had carelessly taken from his vest pocket. “Yes, sir, I did," said Truax, with a tinge of ill humor to his tone. “Those ducks would weigh two and a half pounds apiece, wouldn’t they?” casually remarked the Burlington man, as be kept on making characters with hii pencil. “I should say they would,” remarked the unsuspecting Abo. ‘‘Well, then,” said the persistent querist, “you killed just 650 pounds of ducks; and if you can tell me how one man is able to lug that weight seven miles and carry a gun at the same time, you can do something that no other liar in the Northwest can match.” Abe reflected a minute, and with “That’s a whopper, isn’t it gentlemen?” he invited the whole party to the bar to take something at his expense. “The remark “And it wasn’t a good day for ducks, either,” was used ban- teringlv on Truax during the remain( der of the trip, and in time it became common on the Mississippi, whence it spread until it became one of the pro verbial Amerieansisms of the time.

[Detroit Free Press.] “Another mouth to feed,” said John Allen when the new baby came. "God never sends months but wluvt lie sends bread to fill them,” said his employer piouslv. "Aye. Only He semis the mouth to me and the bread to you,” asserted John Allen. I guess God made a mistake when He sent that baby here,” remarked John Allen, Jr., aged eight, the baby himself until now. God never makes mistakes,” an swered his pale, tearful mother, the baby’s only friend. It is sad enough to many people to have to come into the world at all, but to come into a world where no one wants you, to be in everybody’s way, to have your food and drink and wherewithal yon shall be clothed reckoned up and grudged to you—oh, poor little unwelcome babe, who would be in your place? They christened the Allen baby by the quaint and pretty name of Bar bara. Mrs. Allen hoped it would bring good luck, because it had been the name of a sweet woman who was dead—her own mother. And it re minded her of that other Barbara Allen, and the song she oftenest croon ed to the baby was that old love song with its sad refrain. I suppose the unwelcome baby ought to have been a pale, pensive child, Jwho never smiled, if there is anything in antenatal theories. But ti uth compels me to say that she was not. She grew and thrived, and looked pretty in the bnly clothes that were hers, the cast-off and out-groWn wardrobe of John Allen, Jr. And she just bubbled over with laughter and cooings, and would be noticed and petted, as if she come to stay. “You’ll be late for work, John,” his wife would say to John Allen. “One more romp with little Bab,” would be the answer, as he tossed her high in Ills strong arms, and kissed her again and yet again. And when the man went to his work, there were smiles mixed with the crow’s- feet of enro on his face, as he thought of the baby that at last had found its welcome. So with them all. The big sister “wasted her time” as she ex pressed it-as if time could ever be wasted in that way—gettiug down on her knees to worship “that baby. Ami her voice grew low and soft, be- cause^of the new love in her heart. And when little Bab could toddle about you would have thought them a family of lunatics. She was their darling, their queen, their idol. Ah! it lias been well said that— God In cursing Gives better gifts than men In benediction. When the unwelcome baby had won its crown of consecration, a voice cal led, and it weut through the open arms of God into the new home, where no child is ever unwelcome. And Mint was ull -quite ull! No, surely! But The child roil cried so, when le-r eyes were shut. A Cure For Consumption. A NOVEL METHOD OF TREATING l'A- Tl K NTS llKVISKD HY A FRENCH PHYSICIAN. A novel method of treating patients suffering from phthisis is described in the current number of The Medical Record. It was devised by a French physician, Dr. Borgeon, of Lyons, who has been applying it for two years to cases of chronic pulmonary and throat disease. The results are said to be remarkable. In acute gen eral phthisis there has been an arrest of the progress of the disease and a cure in a few months. In advanced consumption marked improvement of symptoms is rapidly secured, night sweats ceasing and the cough becom ing less harassing. Two hundred oases have been treated with singu lar sucoess by Dr. Borgeon In Lyons, where the climate is unfavorable for consumptives. His method has been introduced in the hospitals there and in Paris, and the medical authorities are favorably impressed with it. The treatment consists of daily In jections by enema of medicated gases. Carbonic acid gas when introduced into the system by this method is found to be harmless and pajnless. Sulphuretted hydrogen is mingled with it, the entire structure of the lungs is permeated by the medicated gas and remarkable curative effects are observed. The carbonic acid gas is practically inert when taken up by the veins of the intestines, but the sulphurious gas reaches every parti cle of diseased tissue in the lungs and throat, and is eliminated from the system in the process of expiration. The volume of gas used is very large. At the outset a single litre is intro duced, but the quantity is rapidly in creased to ten or twelve litres for each injection. The results of this new system of treating consumption are so well vouched for that we commend the subject to the critical examination of medical circles in this couLtry. Con sumption is the chief scourge of the Atlantic seaboard. Any departure in therapeutics so radical as this French method deserves to be thoroughly in vestigated and adequately tested in American hospitals. Dr. Borgeon is not a sciolist, but a reputable phy sician of large practice and good standing. If his method is as effective and successful as he asserts it merits general attention from the profession in the United States.—New York Tribune. G-ood TXesults in Every Case. D. A. Bradford, wholesale paper dealer o! Chattanooga, 'Lwm., writes that he was seriously afflicted with a severe cold that settle i on his lungs; had tried many rem edies without benefit. Being induced to try Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con sumption, did so and was entirely cured by use of a few bottles. Since which time he has used it in Ids family for all Coughs and Colds with best results. This Is urn experience of thousands whose lives have been saved by this Wonderful Discovery.

Collins.] A certain mining town of the west* mn portion of Montana is distin guished by the following bit of ro mance which is said to havo been en acted within its limits: When the town was but a mining camp where a company of hardy miners had struck a new “prospect,” an Indian tribe of that vicinity made overtures for a treaty, whereby they expected to ob tain tobacco and arms in return for the protection which they offered the miners against the other savage tribes of that section. The miners, however, feeling confident of their own ability to defend themselves, declined the negotiations, and the Indians took offense at what they termed an insult to their dignity, and true to that pro pensity of their race to avenge them selves for the slightest provocation, at once set about to pica a quarrel with their offensive neighbors. For several days in succession they rode in state through the camp in an ex tremely warlike attitude, which wa9 picturesque indeed. The central figure whs a young white girl, fifteen years old, dressed in Indian style, her lmir reaching almost to her feet. Whether this spectacte meant a de fiant taunt or a challenge for a ran som the miners could not exactly de cide, hut one of them, an Englisninun, t who because he had been educated at a German University, was called “Dutch Pete,” was so moved by his chivalrous sensibilities that he halted the leader of the red warriors, with his rifle in hand, and demanded the release of the beautiful white captive. Through an interpreter the painted chieftain replied that if the girl was a captive she nad been such since her earliest infancy, when he had taken her from a train of emigrants on the plains, and as for surrendering her he should do no such thing unless her white brother chose to fight or give in exchange a liberal amount of tobacco and ammunition. The miners were first Inclined to try the virtue of their rifles without stipulations of any kind, but satisfying themselveB that the girl was a veritable savage, and had no wish to be rescued, they left the Englishman to make his bargain as best lie could. The artioles de manded by the red chieftain were ac cordingly given, after which the old savage bade the pale face to take pos session of his prize. Upon compre hending the situation the young lady exhibited no gratification for her res cue, but kicked and screamed and bit at her new master like a furious colt. Seeing her savage friends depart, ac tually to leave her behind, her frenzy became so great that it was necessary to confine her in a cabin under bolt and bar. A majority of the miners concluded that they had made a most unprofitable bargain, and doubted that the “young wild beast,” as they called her would ever be tame, and would eventually kill herself or some of them before her freak was over. The Englishman offered to pay her entire ransom himself out of his first gold dust, and by sheer force of kind ness tame her into civilization. In his undertaking he encountered dan ger, as well iiH trouble, for the white savage bit him through his palm ns he offered her food, anti scalded him fearfully in the face at another time with a pot of coffee. Patiently, how ever, and with unwavering kindness, ho succeeded in teacning her to speak English, and finally toned down her savage disposition till she manifested affection rather than dislike for her master, and they ended the romance by becoming husband and wife.
