Grant is Steadily Gaining Strength and is Feeling Hnch Better—His Fam ily Wish Him to be Removed to the Catskill Mountains at an Early Day. Nbw Yobb, April 18. Bcllbtib. 8.30 A. M.—Gen. Grant fell into a quiet sleep immediately after 10 o’clock and slept well until 2 A. M., when he awoke and took nourishment He soon fell asleep again and slept until 5 o’clock, when he awoke and nourishment was again given him. He then slept lightly until 6, when he awoke fully, took his coffee, dressed and is now moving quietly about the rooms. His pulse and tem perature are normal. (Signed) J. H. Douglass. Last night’s refreshing, unbroken sleep was another stride towards the General’s recov ery. From 10 P. M. till 2 A. M., he slept without being troubled with the cough which has hitherto caused him so much pain in his throat. The General looks very much im proved in personal appearance and will, it is expected, take a drive out today or tomorrow, should the weather permit. A poor old man in seedy garments, who said he had traveled on foot from Galena, 111., and had known and fought under the General, paused in front of the house at 6.30 this morning, and doffing his weather-beaten hat, prayed loud and ferveatly for his recov ery. As he turned to go, the tears were coursing each other down the old mao’s cheeks. He refused the assistance offered him by those present, and would not give bis name. When Dr. Newman left the house he said the family had a consultation this forenoon,and decided as soon as the weather would permit, the General wuuld be taken to the Catskills. Dr. Newman said the doctors told him that the General’s chance of recovery were one in a thousand. Gen. Ingalls and Col. Hodges spent an hour with the General during the afternoon. Drs. Douglass and Shradv called at 2.30 P. M. As Dr. Douglass was leaving the house, between 4 and 5 o'clock, he stated that no further bulletins wuuld te issued today. Dr. Douglass remarked that the General was the best patient he ever had; he did ail that was directed, and as directed, and his will power was surprising. New York, April 19. There was no sign in the Grant mansion from 11 last night until 8 A. M. to-day to distinguish it from its neighbors. Bren the accustomed light in the General’s room was missing. Cyrus W. Field drove up to the house at 9.45 and had a short conversation with the General, whom he said he found feeling and looking much better than on his previous visit. At 11.30 P. M. Col. Grant pushed aside the hangings at the east side window of the Gen eral’s room and as he held one of the curtains back the General appeared at his elbow and then advanced close to the window pane. The bright, warm sunlight of the morning streamed full upon him as he stood fully dressed as on yesterday. The General and son were conversing and at times the former smiled as he looked down in the Btreet. On the opposite side he saw a procession of men, women and children strolling leisurely in both directions and as the General's pres ence at the window was observed by those outside there was a simultaneous lifting of hats by the men, while the women smiled and received a dignified response from the sick man at the window. At 2 o’clock, the entire staff of physicians met in consultation, after which this bulletin was issued Bulletin. 1 P M.—At the consultation held this hour, Drs. Barker, Hands, Shrady were present. Gen. Grant was found to be in an improved condition, both general and local, as com pared with the last statement. The physi cians in attendance are and have been in en tire agreement concerning the management of this case. (Signed) J. II. Douolass. G. F. SflRADY. Unless an unforseen change for the worse occurs, there will nut be another consultation for a week. l)r. Shrady will not call again until Wednesday. Dr. Douglass will be in charge and will remain nights if the General desires. The Gtncral, this afternoon, slept an hour upon his bed. Dr. Douglass said at 9 P. M. that there would be no bulletins issued during the night. The General will be without a medical at tendant tonight. 12.41! A. M.—Mrs. Grant has prevailed on Dr. Douglass to stay in the house during the night. THE GRANT LETTER. What the St. Louis Globe-Democrat Says. St. Lorn, April 19. The Globe-Democrat referring editorially to the controvarsary in the east over the genuineness of the letter of Gen. Grant pub lished for the first time a week ago today re marks as follows “We desire to say that there is not the slightest room for doubt or discussion on the subject. The letter was copied in the Globe-Democrat office from the original, which was known to the editor of the Globe-Democrat to be in Gen. Grant's handwriting. It had been previously sub mitted to Gen. Sherman and he had recog nized Grant's handwriting before seeing the signature. It was found, not long since, in a bundle of private papers belonging to the family of the late Fred’k Dent, Gen. Grant’s father-in-law, to which it was addressed.” AM INSURANCE SWINDLER. How He ContriTed to Live in Sumptu ous Style. Pittsbcro, Pa., April 18.

Philadelphia, April 19. A special dispatch from Reading, says a fire broke out about 4 A. M., on the Alsace truck farm, owned by Augustas L. Wentzel, in which four persons, Harry Wentzel 11, Charles Wenttel, 13, sons of the proprietor, and Charles and Fred Helzinger, brothers, aged 16 and 26 respectively, were burned to (illth FOREIGN NEWS ENGLAND AND RUSSIA. Estimated Los* of Afghans, lOOO—Pre parations for War Eagerly Progressing —Humors that Negotiation* tor Peace are in Progress. London, April 18. The Times’ St. Petersburg correspondent •ays: “Later details state that tbe Afghan losses by Russian bullet*, cold and hunger, amount to 1000. The Sarik Turcomans, act ing under advice of tbe Russians, pursued them almost to Herat. It is rumored that the Sariks encountered a portion, of Sir Peter Lumsden’s convoy. They also burned his old camp. “Gen. Komaroff has appointed a Russian government of Penjdeh and baa pat Sarik officials in chsrge who are Russian subjects. Everybody here is convinced that if wsr breaks out tbe Russians will seize Herat be fore|Englsnd can turn round. I have the best authority for stating that General Komarofl advanced in accordance with express orders from the Gorernor oi the Caucausus and Gen. Komaroff’s telegram to St. Petersburg ex pressly stated this.” A dispatch to the Standard dated at Tirpul April 18th, states that Russian troops have stopped advancing and are retiring to their former position. Gen. Komarofi's dispatch says he lias left Penjdeh. The Daily News says the statements refer ring to the cession of Penjdeh to Russia are purely imaginary. St. Petersburg, April 18. It is stated that Turkey has positively as sured Russia that in the event of war no Eng lish ironclad will be allowed to enter the Black sea. Turkey it is said has also declared that she could make the Dardanelles impassi ble in a few hours, if necessary. Papers here are chuckling over the tact that two hundred English steamers are at present in the Black sea and Sea of Azof. Turks are building forts at Batoum with the utmost rapiditv. The Nsvre Vremya says Germany, Austria and Hungary have notified the Porte that if British and Russian fleets are allowed to pass through the Dardanelles or if the fleets suc ceed in forcing a passage, the treaty of Berlin will stand annulled and Germany, Austria and Hungary will consider themselves free from any engagement imposed thereby. Turkey will be obliged to make her neutrality respected by her own resources. 1 he arming of the men-of-war at Cronstadt continues. Orders were issued today to have all pul to sea. Advices from Samarcand state that Gen. KomarofTs victory over the Afghans has favorably impressed the inhabitants of Bok hara. A Tiflix despatch to the Moscow Gazette says Russia cannot rely on Persia in the event of war. Some Russian tourists have lately been expelled from Khorassan, while Englishmen have been freely admitted. Jambood, April 18. The Ameer, before departing, yesterday, said that he bad ordered the tribes to repair the roads from Cubul to Herat, and that rein forcements had left CandahBr for Herat. He believed that Russia might yield to remon strances, being unable to give excuse for her aggressions. Only when all arguments have failed, he said, must war be considered, and then the Afghans will rise as one man to repel the in vader. His policy was determined upon and would not be changed. It was founded on common sense, not on oaths. His people must accept it as he had and must trust him as he had been trusted by England. The Afghans would never surrender an inch of territory or allow their country to be a high way for the Russian army which would mean the occupation and protection ef a long line of Russian communication and result in the ruin and loss of independence. The Afghans would see this and would find that England is helping them to maintain their freedom. Vienba, April 18. A telegram received here states that Afghan chiefs have sent a deputation to Gen. Komar off to announce their submission. It also says that a proclamation signed by the Gov ernor has been issued at Herat, saying that nobody will be allowed to enter the citadel of that city; the gates will be closed from 7 P. M. to 5 A. M.; that no flour, cereals or olive oil will be exported that caravans will be permitted to enter the city only on special license; that all Russians will be directed to present themselves to the Governor, and that every house will be held in readiness for ser vice to well trained men. The Tagblatt thinks that Afghanistan is lost to England. The Fremdenblatt learns that the English government has warned English traders at the Black Sea ports to be prepared to leave. Freights in the Black Sea have risen 50 per cent. Odessa, April 18. The price of corn is rising in consequence of government purchases. The value of house property is declining through fear of bombardment of the city. In all well informed quarters here, without exception, the good faith of the Ameer to ward England is mistrusted. Paris, April 18. It is reported here that Waddington, French ambassador to London, has telegraphed to De Freycinet that no fear need be entertained that war will be declared between England and Russia. Waddington in this dispatch, it is said, as sures I)e Freycinet that England and Russia have reached an agreement concerning the Afghan frontier question. The prospect of peace may be a delusive experience. Diplomats entertain the convic tion that truce is taken by England to get breath for decisive action. It may be set down as truce that the rise and fall of war talk during the past ten days has been largely due to speculators. Gen. Vanowski, Russian minister, was stated suffering from ill health. General Abrantcheff will succeed him. The government have decided to station a number of armed merchants at the South African cape, Bombay, and Sidney, for the defence of British interests. The work of fortifying Singapore will be commenced at once. One hundred and twen ty Malays will be immediately instructed in the practice with torpedos. A Russian prince in this city received a telegram from the Gzar expressing hope that peace will be preserved by Russia and Eng land by mutual concession. THE RIEL REBELLION.

A revolutionary plot ha9 been discovered in Eeudor. New* from Peru indicate* that the country i* settling down Much is expected from the re-opening ot work on the different unfinished railroad*. Caceres is still at Arequipa where all stores and shops are closed, owing to his having endeavored to force foreign houses to pay export duty in advance on all the wool they have in their warehouses, and which has been accumulating for years past, owing to that part of Mollendo being almost continual ly blockaded, on account of foreign mer chants having taken this stand. Caceres has caused a fly sheet to be published abutting foreign residents in Arequipa, accusing them of being enemies of the country and threaten ing them if the tax is not paid. The fly sheet has caused consternation among all who have friends or business interests in that interior town. Caceres is capable of any atrocity to maintain the little power he possesses in the interior. Panama, April 19. A Spanish manifesto was published today inciting the people against the Americans. The news from the interior is not reassuring, and much alarm is felt at Panama over the prospects of an attack by the government iroops from Cauca. The health of the Amer ican troops is good. Washington, April 18. Commander Kane of the Galena has made a report to Secretary Whitney, under date of April 8, relative to the burning ot Aspinwall by the insurgeants and the part taken by his command for the protection of American citi zens and propertv. lie says about 12.30 P.

I Immediately sent a boat to the Colon in charge of Lieut. Judd, to see what the trouble was. The ship was at the lime lying anchored 300 yards from the northern wharf of the island, and the Colon was moored at the Pa cific Mail wharf, hav.ng arrived that morning from New York. Judd returned in half an hour bringing the U. S. consul, Wright, and informed me that there were arms and ammunition aboard the Colon, and that Preston, chief of the insur geants, demanded the delivery of the arms; that Mr. Connor, the Aspinwall agent of the P. M. Co., was under arrest, and promised not to interfere with the steamer before 3 P. M., when Capt. Dow would arrive from Pan ama, providing the Galena put no force aboard the steamer in the meantime. At 2.45 I sent Lieut. Judd and the U. S. consul and Cadet liichardyon to meet Capt. Dow, and direct him not to deliver any arms without my order, and also to communicate with Preston and say that I desire an interview with him. Judd met Dow at the steamship office, where Preston and some of his aids were. Judd communicated the instruction* and Preston at once called his guards and arrett ed Judd, the U. S. consul and Capt. Dow, and ordered them taken to prison. As the party pasted the U. S. consulate the consul spoke to hi* clerk, an American citizen, and the insurgeant* immediately entered the con sulate and forcibly removed Mr. Csteanava and joined him to the party. Cadet Richardson was permitted to return to the ship, bearing the news of the arrest, and also a threat from Prestou that if the Galena attempted to land a force it would be tired on and if the fired a gun the whole party would be shot. Insurgeant guards were now on the wharves in force, and Had thrown up a barricade on the pier of the harbor to resist our landing. I sent a demand to Preston for the release of the party. Judd returned on board and the demand was not delivered. Judd and party were held prisoners two hours and were only released when the consel had given his Consent to the delivery of the arms. During the absence of Judd the Galena dropped down to within 100 yards of the Co lon's wharf, and every preparation of seizing that vessel was made. The Colon hauled out in the stream and the Galena and dropped alongside the wharf After securing the ship and posting guards, 1 made a demand of Preston for the release of the agent*. He replied that he would answer me in the morning at 7 o'clock, March 30. I landed battalions of 12 officers and 114 tailors and marines, with three guns under Judd, and made preparations to release the agents by force if the demand was not complied with. While these preparations were being made Dow and Mr. Connor informed me that they had escaped from Preston's office. Having under protection all the Americans who had been arretted, and hearing the firing of the government troops from Panama who were driving the insurgeant* before them, I ordered Judd to leave the men to protect the office of the P. M. Co., and take possession of the consul’s office and the Panama Railroad Co., and use his force for the protection of Amer ican property. Kane then describes the fighting in the street*, the burning of the town and th* pro tection given the homslett people oa th* Galena as heretofore. Private telegrams received here today say that the people of Panama apprehend the de struction of the city by the rebels. The ex ample set at Aspinwall will be a precedent for the disaffected for some time to come. THE EGYPTIAN WAR. Oaman Oigna Singing the War la Over— The Iron Horse Carries Pear ia HU Coarse.

Three Negroes Hoard a Freight Train and Relieve the Occupants of Over $1000 in Money and Jewelry. Dallas, Tex., April 19. A bold tram robbery occurred late last night on the Texas and Pacific railroad at Wood station, a few miles west of Minola. Joseph Toblowsky. a merchant of Dallas, and a stranger, took passage in the caboose of a freight train in order to reach here nearly a full day earlier than by wailing tyr the reg ular passenger train. The train was a very long one and when it stopped for wood at th* wood yard the train men all went to the en gine, leaving the caboose and its occupants a long way back in the darkness and thick timber. Suddenly three negroes, armed with navy revolvers, sprang into the caboose, the leader saying, “Throw up your hands, your money or your life.” Mr. Toblowsky was relieved of nearly $1000 and a gold watch and chain, and his companion of $IR and jewely. The ssbl* robbers then fled into the timber. Three Drunken W retches Meet u Warm Reception by a W oman. Nitw York. April 19. John Madden and Patrick Malley went to visit their friend, Wm.

§x8g £vmbtt f^ttvnal. Annate. Monday Morning, April 20. 8TATE OF MAINE. A PROCLAMATION. BY THE GOVERNOR. Tlw* faith of our aaceatora in the pow# r of praver to Almighty ve a whisper. Presently there will be a racket which everybody can bear. Every man who Voted for Blaine is dis qualified for that reason from holding of fice under this civil service reform admin istration. The mugwumps draw the line right there. The first question they ask of a candidate for office is. “Did you vote for James G. Blaine P“ If the answer is “ves," the candidate is informed that he is found incompetent and tnavstand aside. Spring comes on slowly, but comes on nevertheless. The rivers have broken their Icy fetters, the snow has disappeared, streets are getting dry and dusty,birds are singing, buds are swelling, and nothing appears to be lacking to denote the com ing of the warm season except the organ grimier and his trained monkey. These wil! probably arrive on the first steamer that comes this way. President Cleveland is being besieged by the politicians of Ohio, Virginia, and Oregon, with requests for aid in the shape of federal patronage, in order that they may carry these States at the election this year. "Just how the appointment of democratic office-holders." says the Tavel ler. who are to maintain a non-partisan i attitude, will aid in gaining democratic1 victories does not appear, but we presume the politicians who arc besieging the President understand it.” The Progressive Age is faithless in re-1 gard to making Portland a democratic j city by the course which Mayor Deering is pursuing there in the enforcement of the liquor law. The Age says: “The expe rience in this State, we think, has shown that the democratic party !ms gained nothing but rather lost by allying itself j with the radical prohibitionists in our cities. If Mayor Deering and the City Marshal shall succeed in changing the city of Portland to a democratic city by j this alliance, and by tbas running contra ry to a principle of the democratic party, they will hare achieved a success which will be quite phenomenal.” Lawton’s Disabilities. If the President accepts Mr. Garlands view of the law, Mr. Lawton will have an opportunity to go to Russia, subject to recall when the Senate if again in session. It is hardly conceivable that the Repnblican ma jority of that body will consent to have the Fourteenth Constitutional Amendment over ruled in this fashion. Mr. Lawton fa one of those who, having previously taken an oath to support the Constitution of the United States, took up arms to destroy it. President Johnson pardoned him with others, and there by relieved him of bis liability to indictment and punishment for treason. Subsequently the Constitution was amended so as to debar all such men as Lawton from holding any office, civil or military, under the United States, unless Congress, bv a two-thirds vote, first remove their disabilities Mr Lawton has never thought it worth while to apply to have his disabilities re moved, and now pleads that his pardon avoids all necessity for an act of Congress relieving him of his political disabilities. Nothing could be more paltry. Mr. Lawton was not under political disabilities by virtue of his treason. He has never been tried and con victed of that crime. President Johnsons pardon would have stood in the way of any criminal proceedings against him. but it can not touch the disabilities afterwards imposed by Congress and tbrre-fourths of the states upon all men, without eiception, who took part in the rebellion, having previously taken an oath, as officers of the United States or of any state, or as members of Congress or of state legislatures, to support the Constitution. There is but one way indicated in the Con stitution for the removal of such disabilities, and Mr. Lawton, having neglected to take that way, is not qualified to serve the United States as its minister to Russia.—[Philadel phia /'rest.

The Maggie Mulvey was built in Waldoboro in 1764, registers 266 tons and is said to be the largest two-masted schooner owned in Maine. Messrs. M. A. Achorn and A. F.

They purchased the island at auction, but the treasury department refuses to confirm the sale. Penobscot. The New Haven Union says: “A letter recently received from Dr. Oscar Kahn of New York, the veteran manager of O. B. Bunnell, states that the party of American ladies who go abroad to attend the beauty contest of all nations will be in New Haven to-day. He says their names will not be given until after the exhibition here and then with their permission only. The ladies will be known by numbers or States. The partv as made up will consist of six ladies from New York and Brooklyn, two from Philadelphia, two from Kalamazoo, Mich., three from Chicago, one from Dubuque, Iowa, one from Janesville, one from Bangor, Me., and the little State of Connecticut contributes four." We don’t know the name of the Bangor beauty who has entered the lists against the beauties of the world; but we don't permit ourselves to doubt that she will take the grand prize, if the decision is fair.

j A FXITAXZ UTTER. Probably no man is better known o» ■Mrs highly respected than Mr. Julian Our, President of the Blackwells Dur ham Tobacco Co., of Durham, N. Cl h, every tobacco store in the United States and in many foreign countries, Blackwell’t Durham Tobacco is told, and it is a well known fact that the sales of this Company largely exceed those of any other tobsccr manufacturer. That such success has bsen obtained is due to the energy, integ rity and ability of Mr. Carr, who has so successfully managed the affairs of the Company. Such a letter as the following, written by Mr. Carr to a personal friend whose only interest in the matter referral to wae a desire to do a friendly act, is cer- tsinly worthy of careful reading. Durham, N. C, Feb. 25,1885. Mr Dear “Mac": I have delayed writing to you, with reference to the Ath lophoroe remedy, until 1 could hear from a friend of mine, a gentleman of high character, who used Athlophoros at my suggestion with very great benefit. He is a tobacco manufacturer of high standing. 1 have waited to hear from him in order that I might use his name officially. I am ratisfi**1. however, that he must be at the Hsw Orleans Exposition, and my letters have foiled to reach him. So I will not delay answering your letter longer. You want to know whether Athlophoros is nally as good as you thought when you e kindly sent me a couple bottles. I had a sister who was a victim of neuralgia and rheumatism. She suffered intensely, and her condition gave her fomily and mends much concern. Every known remedy was tried,' but without effect. When the bottles yon sent me came, I sent one to my sister and one to my sister-in-law. My sister was so encouraged from the use of this one bottle that I put her upon a thorough treatment of Athlophoros. I certainly owe you and Athlophoros a great debt of gratitude for the relief the remedy baa given her. Hhe bis almost completely recovered from rheumatism, so much so that she has stopped the use of Athlophoroe and considers herself well. My sister-in-law, to whom 1 gave the other bottle, was suffering fearfully with neuralgia^ilie had become unconscious from the pain —the Athlophoros relieved her entirely. I gave a bottle of Athlophoros to an intimate friend who suffered such in tense pain in his head that ho looked as if his eyes would start from their sockets, anil hy its use he has been greatly benefited, and tells me that he received such relief from it that he orders it hy the box and keeps it at all times in his house— is nerir without it—can’t afford to lie, this is the gentleman to whom I wrote. I wanted to send with this his opinion in his own handwriting, but as I stated he must still be at New Orleans. A very worthy colored man, a house carpenter, Jim Whitted byname, lives in the house adjoining “my man of all work.” One morning my man told me that Jim was suffering so intensely from rheuma tism that tlie neighborhood was disturbed day and night by his cries of agony. Wishing to test Athlophoros iiefore my own eyes on a genuine ease of acute rheu matism, I wrote the Athloplioros Com pany stating Jim’s condition, and ofh :ii if they would sfnd me the remedy, to se entirely relieved of all his rheuma tism anil not only thnt, hut he says the stiffness in his joints, which came with the rheumatism, lias all iieen removed. Within thirty hours after lie liegim to use Athloplioros, lie felt like another per son. These instances have all come undci my personal knowledge. I am very slow to speak of or recommend any medicine, hut when a remedy lias the virtue and tin merit that I believe Athloplioros has, I cannot hesitate to recommend it. I have given you fnrJt-—don’t they answer your question fully? Yonrstruly, J. S. Cakr.

Don’t neglect salt, and os much a* they want ot it, for the animal*. Calves fatten quicker on cow’s milk up to six weeks old, than on any other feed. Feed regularly; the loss from one hour’s fretting for food, cannot be made up by one feeding. Quiet sitters and careful mothers among hens are good property, and well worth sparing until they are old. Cows with calf should have the sys tem well kept up during the spring months by feeding grain liberally, ex cepting just before parturition. Too much grain then might cause a fever ish condition and caked bag. Following on calving after all feverish symptoms have disappeared, a more liberal grain diet may be resumed again. Feeding Bees to Promote Activity.— Even il bees come through the winter with plenty ofstores.it is a good plan now to feed them a little to promote activity, and stimulate to breeding. For this pur pose. when there is no lack of food, half a pound of honey daily to a hive will be enough. It should be so placed for feed ing as not to attract other bees to robbing. A good position for ttie feeder is inside the hive, just above the brood nest, and so covered that no bees can escape that wav. Feed at night-tall in preference to earlier in the day. to guard effectually against robbing. Kinds of Fowls lor the Farm.—Im proved breeds, of course, but let it be remembered that such are only better than common ones, with having bet ter care also, and then they are far more satisfactory. One of the first re quisites for keeping improved breeds of poultry is a warm house in winter. With this provided, we would place Silver Gray Dorkings among the best for the farmer, especially where roaming can be allowed. They are tine table fowls, aud lay well until eight or nine years old. They are handsome, and good sitters and mothers. White-faced Black Spanish are the most profitable, where eggs are the chief ob ject. They lay very large, white eggs, in great numbers. An objection to them is that they are subject to loose leathering in the summer. Save Up the Manure—It is farm capital. All admit this, vet all do not act as if they believed it. We refer to the loss allowed on many farms through a waste of liquid manures. Many farmers who would long mourn over having fifty.or a hundred dol lars stolen, suffer the loss of fifty or a hundred dollars every year through the es cape of animal liquids, and think nothing of it. This could just as well be saved. Heeause you have not the means to invest in a system of cement gutters and manure cisterns, don’t persuade vour selt that nothing can be done. Use enough absorbents and the Biime end may be ac complished. And the best absorbent, namely dry earth or muck, is at the same time the cheapest. Straw and other litter will answer, but not as well alone as if used with the dry earth. Every farmer should make his plans for accumulating a large store of this article during the com ing summer, and keeping it under a tight roof until it is used. A drying patch should be provided by having some loads or earth or muck alongside of it, and then one person to make it his business to at tend to the work, until the material can be thoroughly dried.

April t!—“The idea of the United States government sending a tew hun dred men down to Aspinwallto go from there to Panama in this season is not only foolish hut outrageous,” said a former resident of Panama last evening. “At this time of the year the rainy season begins, and in the maze ot wretched swamp through which the rail road passes death in the shape of the dreaded ‘Chagres’ fever is to be met by nineteen out of every twentv Americans who drfre to go there. “Had as the elimate of the Soudan coun try is, from all accounts, I do not think it can at all compare with that of the country to which the United Stales marines have been ordered In the rainy season a thick wtiite fog. freighted with disease and death, hangs over the swamp. Where there are no swamps, dense woods, with matted vines in terlacing the branches of the trees, cover the country for miles. The only wav is over the railroaii—a road that has cost many thou sands of lives—and if a small force of Amer icans. fresh front the north, without any ac climatization, should attempt to make that terrible journey on foot no human enemy would be needed to wipe them from the sur face of the earth. The deadly swamp fever would be sufficient. This is but the begin ning. The United States will have to send thousands of men to that country if anything is to be accomplished, and many lives must necessarily be sacrificed.'’ Sprnal Nottcrs. 6 Per Cent Bonds —OF THK— Iowa Loan ail Treat Go., In denominations of $1000, $500, $300 and $200.

It was on Thanksgiving night, after all the friends and relative, who had spent merry evening at his house had token themselves sway—after the ch'ldr*n been sent to bed in high glee at the un wonted intraction on early hours, and while his wife was still putting away the silver and fine table linen-teal Farmer Fielding went out alone with a lantern swinging in his hand, to take a last look at the stable and cow-house and make sure that the great barn door was proper ly fastened. He should have returned in ten minutes, but twenty had passed, when Mre. Field ing looked at the clock, and asked herself in some surprise, what Hiram could have found to do? And when ten more had followed without bringing him, and ten more went after them, she grew a little alarmed, and tossing a shawl over her head, went down the path that led from the kitchen to the barn calling: “Hiram! Hiram She called again, her voice taking on that shrill and unmusical tone which fright brings with it. “Hiram! speak! where arevou?” She stood by the barn door now, and it was wide opeD. swinging in the wind ;and within it all was silent and dark. There was not a sound—not a glimmer of light from the lantern. “Oh, Hiram!” she cried, “don t scare me; don’t try to scare me.” There she paused, struck dumb with terror. She had taken a step forward, and her foot had struck something soft and heavy that lay on the barn floor. She guessed what it was her foot had touched. She knelt down and stretched out her hand and felt about. The first thing that she touched was a cold, limp hand, that fell inertly over hers as she lifted it. Then she lelt upward from it, and touched a face, also cold. She gathered it up to her breast. “Dead,” she sobbed, “dead, dead, dead.” And her voice came back in a waii that rang out upon the night air and brought from the Kitchen Madge, “the help,” and her beau, Ben, who had been lingering over a parting there. Ben, a great, stalwart fellow, lifted the master in his arms, and carried him into the kitchen. “Missus.” he said, “boss ain’t dead—he ain’t no such thing; he’s stunned like. No doubt he’s hurt mighty bad, but Lor’, no,—not dead. I wouldn’t sav so if it warn’t true, i’ll put him into bed. missus, and go for the doctor. He’ll come to: I tell you he’ll come to.” She bent over him as he lay on his pillow, and bathed the poor bleeding head, Madge the cold hands, and whis pered fond, comforting words as to a baby. And at last she saw, indeed, that he lived. More color came to his cheek. His eyes opened; but when she spoke to him lie answered her only with groans. One of the children had been awakened by the noise, and crept down stairs—a lit tle white ghost with a scred face—and seeing what had happened, had awakened the rest by her cries. And in the midst of this the door opened and there was Ben with horror in his eyes, and a hand pointed over his shoul der toward a red glare that flashed up toward the sky. Madge saw and comprehended, and quietly slipped out after him. The barn was on fire; and while poor wite within the shuttered room had one thought only, “Will he I love better than the world be side live or die despite the fruitless aid that came too late, though it was freely offered, barn and stable, hay and cattle, were licked up by the devouring flames, all save the little homestead, and one poor cow', dragged by Madge’s faithful hands into a place of safety. “A poor Thanksgiving tor Mrs. Field ing,” said many a kindly matron as she heard the news next morning. Yet Sara Fielding was at that very hour thanking God for as the doctor went away, he had patted her on the head, and said “Keep up your heart, Sara—keep up your heart. W’e’ll get him through "yet. You’ll not be a widow this time.” He would live, and what did she care for the barn or store Let all go, so that she had him. But there was a weary time before her —days of fever and delirium,days of weak misery, when the strong man had become like a"fretful child. Sara’s round cheeks grew thin. Often she wondered whether she could keep up much longer, but she did; and after three months’illness. Hiram got about again, gaunt and sallow, and lame, too—although that would pass away in a month or so, the doctor said—and was well enough himeelfto make it neces sary that he should be told what had hap pended; that his barn was burnt, his hay, his corn, all his provisions nearly gone, and his horses and oxen, too—just the one dun cow that gave them milk, tied in a shed that Ben had knocked together, that was all. “I suppose my lantern broke in the hay, Sara,” he said, when he could speak. “I found the door open, and went in, and there was a man there, I grappled him, and he struck me—that's all I know. Either my lantern did it, or the man was there to fire the bam. However it was, it's all over now. It will take—Sara, you took care of my pocket-hook?” “Darling,” she said, "have patience. Your pocket-book has not been found. I've drawn all my little savings to live on 1 thought you might remember where—” “I always wore it in my vest,” he said. “You know that I kept all I had about me. There were five hundred dollars in money, too. and receipts I dare not lose, for they are signed by rascals. Sara, every chance I hadot retrieving my losses is gone, sure, forever. I suppose I was robbed as I lay senseless, and l thought my own person better and safer than any bank. Look at me now, miserable, crip pled. shaking shadow, that any child could master.” (To be continued.) “Indian Department.” Waahingron, D C.

Everybody knows the symptoms attend ing coughs and colds, but the dangerous character of these ailments is not so well understood. When a cold settles upon the lungs, if the blood 1s minted with Scrofula, or the system is weak, Catarrh or Consumption is sure to follow. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral is the only remedy that may be uniformly relied upon for the cure of coughs and colds. J. J. Rawson, Buckingham C. H., Ya., writes: “For several weeks I suffered from a frightful cold, with cough and frequent Spitting of Blood. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral cured me entire ly.” Mrs. R. Campbell, Woodville, Ont., writes: I was troubled, for five years, with an affection of the throat and lungs, coughing severely the whole time. I used different preparations, and was treated by several physicians, without effect. I final ly tried Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, and be fore finishing one bottle was completely cured.” Dr. W. K. Gann, Monticello, Ky., writes: I have been troubled with Bronchitis, since early youth, and am now 37 years of age. I owe my life to Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral." Dr. J. H. Quirk, Ful ton, Kans., writes: “Ayer’s Cherry Pec toral saved my life twenty years ago. It Is a favorite medicine in my family.” Catarrh prevail* in this country to an .i.rming extent. It is a troublesome and disgusting disease, usually Induced by neg lected cokls, and, if allowed to become chronic, produces Bronchitis, and often terminates in Consumption. Ernest H. Darrah,Toilesboro, Ky., writes: “Ayear ago I was afflicted with Catarrh. One bottle of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral cured me.” Miss Eva A. Hall, Ipswich, Mass., writes: “For any one who Is troubled with Catarrh, there is nothing so helpful as Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. It Cured Me of this troublesome complaint, when other remedies afforded no relief.” Dr. F. Schley,Frederickstown,Md.,writes: “In pulmonary cases, of an acute character, or, of catarrhal origiu, I fiud Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral invaluable.” Dr. F. E. Pape, Sandusky, Ohio, writes: I have used Ayer’s Cherry Pectoijd In my practice, and, in connection with Ayer’s Pills, find it an invaluable remedy for colds, coughs, and the inflammations that follow them upon the throat and lungs. We have no other remedy which I consider so sure iu its effects.” C. H. Pierce, Moline, III., writes: “Catarrh had nearly destroyed my sense of taste and smell. Ayer's Cher ry Pectoral effected a complete cure.” Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral Has effected many wonderful cures. Mrs. Mary K. Whitcomb, Hartford, Conn., writes: “Some years ago my mother had an obstinate cough, with severe pains in the chest, and several attacks of bleeding from the lungs. She was very much reduced in strength, and believed herself about to become a victim of Consumption. While in this condition, she was strongly recommended by Rev. Dr. Blanchard, of Lowell, Mass., to make a trial of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. She did so, and by its use was restored to perfect health. Siuce her recovery the roctoral has been her sole dependence for colds, coughs, and all similar troubles, which it has never failed to cure.” PRKPARKD BY Dr. J. C.
