TOO MUCH WHEAT.
[Helen Jackson in The Independent]
•Too much wheatl" So the dealers say,
Millions of bushels left unsold
Os last year’s crop; and now, to-day,
Ripe and heavy and yellow as gold,
This summer’s crop counts full and fair;
▲nd murmurs, not thanks, are in the air,
▲nd storehouse doors are locked to wait,
▲nd men are plotting early and late.
•What shall save the farmer from loss
If wheat oo plenty makes wheat a dross?"
“Too much wheat!” Good God, what a word!
▲ blasphemy in our borders heard.
“Too much wheat!" And our hearts were
stirred
But yesterday, and our cheeks like flame,
For vengeance the Lord his loins doth gird
When a nation reads such a tale of shame.
Hundreds of men lie dying, dead,
Brothers of ours, though their skins are red;
Men we promised to teach and feed.
Oh, dastard nation! dastard deed!
They starve like beasts in pen and fold!
While we hoard wheat to sell for gold.
“Too much wheat!” Men’s lives are dross!
“Row shall the farmers be saved from loss?"
“Too much wheat!" Do the figure lies?
What wondrous yields! Put the ledg
ers by?
“Too much wheat!”
Oh, summer rain,
And sun, and sky, and wind from West,
Fail not, nor shine, nor blow again!
Let fields be deserts, famine guest
Within our gates who hoard for gold
Millions of bushels of wheat unsold,
With men and women and children dead
And daily dying for lack of bread!
“Too much wheat!" Good God, what a
word?
A blasphemy in our borders heard.
THE SASKATCHEWAN REBEL.
His Ancestry and Antecedents as Given in
a Priests’ Private Letter.
[“Halston” in New York Times.]
“Louis Riel, tbe Saskatchewan rebel, has
a notable ancestry.” So runs a letter to me
from the Catholic priest whose story of
Rail's college life I have before quoted. “His
grandfather, Jean Baptiste Riel, settled in
the northwest in 1810, and was one of
the ablest of the northwest company’s
officers. His oldest son, Louis, was
born in 1817 at He a la Crosse, not far from
where the Louis of our day is now exploit
ing. Louis, senior, was educated in lower
Canada, and in 1839 entered the Hudson’s
Ray company’s employ. Religious feelings
Slave controlled the entire family at differ
9nt times, and this trapper clerk was a
Jtovice for two years among the Oblato
Sathers. Niue miles or so from prosperous
Winnipeg, in the little settlement of St.
Vital, still stands the old homestead of the
Riels. Beneath its rafters the wrinkled
mother of the present leader of the Metis en
joys a quiet life.
“The strife between the Hudson’s Bay Fur •
company, the most gigantic monopoly ever
established in this side of the Atlantic, and
the French Metis began years and years ago.
Louis senior died in 1864. Perhaps no act
of his energetic life was more characteristic
than when in the court-room of Fort Garry,
1849, be boldly arose and declared his half
breed friend Guillame Sayer beyond the
jurisdiction of the Hudson’s Bay military
authorities and one-sided judges. He prac
tically gave a death blow to the monopoly
and established free fur traffic.
“His son, Louis Riel, Lord Wolseley’s an
cient enemy, inherited many of the father’s
traits. Os 30,000 half-breads he is the idol;
be has chained them to him by bis gift of
fiery eloquence and by his undaunted cour
age. Since 1879 he has dwelt among his
people, making only two eastern visits—ona
to Ottawa as a representative-elect from his
district in the parliament houses; the other
as a temporary inmate of an insane retreat
near Montreal.
He is not the same man in this struggle
that he was in 1870. His courage is of that
feverish kind which seeks always for excite
■ ment until its possessor finally is spent with
its force. The people whose cause he fights
have suffered at the hands of the provincial
government, and inch by inch their land is
slipping from them. In the struggle for
supremacy it may not be difficult to foretell
who will be the victor, but bloodthirsty, half
insane, as he now stands, Louis Riel will not’
be forgotten in the northwest as cAeader of
his people, the French Metis.”
A ilroad Vision.
[Gail Hamilton.]
Wisdom dwells in blue skies and broad
sunshine, and the wide hills and the infinite
waters; in peace of mind and freedom, and
the worship of the earth. He is poverty
stricken who is so absorbed in the one little
inclosure of which he holds the title deed
that he loses his grasp on the bending uni
verse.
An Open, Frank Letter.
It is by ro means strange that Dr. David
Kennedy should have received tbe f< row
ing letter. By reading it yon will see in
one minute why its writer could recommend
it—.[Ed.] Mr J. W. Horner, traveling
agent for Ambacb, Burgander & Co., Balti
more, Md., says: "My head felt bad and I
was suffering from ind nest ion. A trial of
i ‘Favoriteßemedy’ made me feel like a new
man. I cheerfully recommend it to al
needing a medicine of the kind.”
> Look at Our Goods.
It does not annoy us, for lookers politely
treated often become steadfast customeis.
Haven’t you noticed how hard it is for some
salesmen to show goods unless they feel sure
you will buy then and there? Our invaria
ble rule is, “courtesy to all, whether wish
• ing to buy or not.” There is a large number
of voting men in this city who regularly de
pend on ns to fit them out each season in the
most approved manner, for our manner of
doing business is One Price-to all, and that
the loWest for cash. “The Famous” know
of no reason why any one man’s money is
better to them than another’s, but we do
kriow many reasons why One Price to all is
the only way to deaf. Some young men
dislike to put on a new suit of clothes.
Well, it is annoying to have every one you
meet ask if it has been wet. The clothes
»ld by “The Famous” will stand any
imount of wetting—that is in the rain. If
you doubt it, purchase a Suit from the well
known Famous New York Clothing House,
140 Congress street.

Kidney Diseases.
Few people are aware of the alarming
prevalence of kidney diseases, especially
among those who have arrived at, or are past,
middle age. It is declared on good authority
that fully one-half the deaths In this country
are either directly or Indirectly the result of
kidney disease of some sort.
A great majority of men above forty years
of age, are afflicted with some sort of affec
tion of the kidneys or bladder and these dis
eases are on the increase. Persons are often
seriously affected be.ore they know of it
themselves, and thus these insidious disor
ders get a good loothold before anything is
done to dislodge them.
Dropsy, Gravel, Diabetes, Bright’s Disease,
Incontinence, Debility, Catarrh of the Blad
der, Albumenuria, etc , are among the many
forms of these diseases. Most of these are
very difficult to cure, defying the powers of
tentimes of the best physicians obtainable
and are pronounced by many to be incurable.
Physicians state that many forms of Kid
ney Disease are very difficult to detect, as, in
diseases of this form, oftentimes there are no
symptomsofa marked nature. This is one
of the reasons why they are so difficult to
cure.
Hunt’s [Kidney snd Liver] Remedy is a
specific for Kidney and Liver troubles, Blad
der and Urinary Diseases, Dropsy, Gravel,
Diabetes and all of that class of disorders.
It cures Biliousness, Headache, Jaundice,
Liver and Stomach troubles, Dyspepsia, Con
stipation and Piles.
It cures Intemperance, Nervous Disease,
General Debility, Female Weaknesses and
Excesses.
It is thoroughly reliable, highly recom
mended, works promptly, relieves at once,
and was never known to fail. USE IT AT
ONCE.

DEAF AND BLIND.
How an Atlanta Woman was
Made to See and Hear.
AN INTERESTING STORY.
Miss Minnie Wallace resides with Mrs.
George Flckland, 41 McAfee street, Atlanta,
Ga., aud from her own lips a Constitution re
porter learned the following story:
Several months ago she became almost to
tally blind and deaf, and could not tas’e any
thing except salt. Her bones became the seat
of intense pain, her joints were swollen and
painful, and eventually her whole body and
limbs became covered with splotches and
small sores. Her appetite failed, and she
gradually lost flesh and strength, and had but
little use of herself, as her limbs and muscles
were paralyzed. She, as well as her friends
and those with whom she lived, despaired of
her recovey. Her sufferings, combined with
loss of hearing and taste, and blindness, were
truly heartrending.
All treatment from physicians and the use
of medicines seemed powerless. Her dis
ease was blood poison and rheumatism.
As she now seemed well and hearty the re
porter asked what wrought such a wonderful
change. J
“I used a medicine recommended by a
friend,” she replied, “and before one bottle
had been taken I began to see and hear. Tbe
second bottle relieved all rheumatic pains
and improved my appetite. When I had com
pleted the use of six bottles my eyesight and
hearing were fully restored, sense of taste re
turned, and splotches disappeared, sores all
healed, and my strength and flesh restored.
I now feel as well as I ever did, and my
friends, as well as myself, are astonished.”
“What was the Medicine?” asked the re
porter.
“Botanic Blood Balm—-B. B. B. was the
great remedy that a' ted so powerfully on my
disease and cured me. I never experienced
any unpleasant symptoms from its use, and
its action is so quick that it surprises all.”
The reporter then sought a physician who
knew the case, whereupon he handed us the
following lines:
“1 examined the above case of blood poison
and rheumatism, before and after being
cured, and certify to the main facts above
stated, and must acknowledge that the B. B.
B. effected a most wpnderful cure in this
well-known case.
