Brown, in Gaidiner, Entirely Consumed by the Destroying Element. [Special to the Kennebec Journal.] Gardiner, April 20. L S. Brown’s fine residence on Brunswick street, was entirely consumed by fire yester day afternoon. Mr. Brown ind wife are in *or'da and the house was occupied by Mr. James Sawyer and wife, parents of Mrs! Brown. The tire probably originated from a burning brush pile, the fire from which com municated with the stable by means of the grans. The fire spread so rapidly that it was ""possible to save but a very little of the fur niture. There was an insurance of 85000 on the buildings and furniture, in Neal’s agency. 1 here was u strong breeze at the time and quite a number of houses were endangered, several of them catching fire on the roofs, but the flames were extinguished. l)r. Whit man's, Warren Heed’s and J. S. Maxcy’s houses on Brunswick street, and George Gray’s on Washington street, were thus ex posed. The fire department was promptly on hand and did excellent work. Had they been a few minutes later, Mrs. Whitmore’s and David Lauder’s houses on adjacent lots to the burned building, might have been destroyed. As it was they had a narrow escape.

General Grant i* Steadily Improving and Monday Took a Short Drive Which Did Him Good. New York, April 20. No one in the interior interrupted the quiet of the Grant household last night. The pa tient rested and slept through the night un til 6.15 A. \1. The family slept all night, as did Dr. Douglass,who remained in the house. The Dr. left the house at 9 A. M. He will return at 2, when it is believed the General will go out to drive. When Col. Fred Grant left the house at mhl-day to go down town, he was feeling hopeful. He said his father passed a better night last night than since the alarming symp toms had developed. He was early dressed and when the General was no worse, it was safe to assume he was brtter. But more than that there was no doubt but that he was brighter and stronger, even than he was Sun day. When Dr. Newman left the house he said that the General was yesterday asked if he would not go out to drive in the afternoon. He was silent a little space of time and then said, “No, not this Sunday. Prayers for my recovery have been offered today in manv places, perhaps through the country, and I think it better I should not go out until Mon day.” Gen. Grant went to drive todav. The Gen eral carried a light cane and unaided, walked down the steps with a firm step. As he crossed the Sagging he bowed and smiled as a hundred hats were lifted in a salute by those who had assembled on the walk across the street. As the General was stepping into the carriage, he glanced up to the colored coach man and hade him good morning, though the hour was after mid-day. Dr. Douglass seated himsell beside the General, and young Mr. Grant took iiis seat opposite on the front seat. At the physician’s direction one of the carriage windows wras lowered. The General was out 35 minutes ami then returned home. Hamilton Fish and wife called during the afternoon. About 8 this evening, a delegation from the Union Veteran Army, headed by Gen. Lewis T. Barney, called and presented a set of resolutions, wherein the members of the Grant family were requested “to whip out the doctors if it took ail summer.” The del egation was received by Col. Fred Grant, who assured the gentlemen uf his father’s good will for that organization. Dr. Douglass arrived about 9.30 P. M and will probably stay during the night. alaua.ua claims.

S. supreme court rendered an im portant decision today in a group of cases known as the Virginia coupon tax cases, in volving the validity of the recent legislation of that State with reference to tbe payment ot State taxes in coupons of the State’s bonds. The decision was against tbe State and in favor of the bondholders in all material points. Opinion by Justice Matthews; Brad ley. Miller and Gray dissenting. A decision was also rendered in the poly gamy case of Rudger Clawson. Clawson was indicted foa polygamy at the April term of 1884 of the court of Utah, and after trial was found guilty and sentenced to a -fine ot $800 and four years’ imprisonment. He appealed to the supreme court of the Territory, and that tribunal having affirmed the judgment of j the district court, he brought his case here for review upon the ground that the grand and petit juries by which he wag indicted and tried, were illegally constituted. The alleged illegality in the impannelling of the grand jury consisted in the exclusion upon the chal lenge of persons who believed that the man had a right to have more than one undivorced wile living at the same time, and in the case of the petit jury, in the drawing of the jurors from “open vanire,” after the whole annual jury list of 200 had been exhausted through the exclusion of polygamists This court, in a carefully prepared opinion by Justice Blatchford, decides against the plaintiff in I error upon both points raised. The judg ment ot the lower court is affirmed. The court of claims today rendered judg ment against the United States in favor ot the Atlantic Pacific railroad for $51,35!).

The Repotted Compromise Between the Two Countries—Reply of S, De Giers to End Granville —He Does Not y rpress the slightest Kegrei at Gen. Komnroti’s Action—Couiradictory Rumors Afloat Concerning the Peace Negotiations. London, April 20. The Standard believes that the following is the basis of the reported compromise between Engiand and Russia. Russia consents to an Immediate meeting between Gen. Zolenol and Sir Peter Lumedenat Pulikhatun. Russia aDd England haring agreed to limit the zone to be debated to the territory between the Letsar Line on the south and from A. K. Tepe to Pulikhatun, on the northeastern Pulikhatun and including Penjdeh; Russia renews her assurances that no further advance will be made, provided the Afghans do not attempt to remain in their former positions; commission ers are instructed to find a practicable frontier north of Meruchak and south of Pulikhatun restoring Zulficar and Akrobat to Afghanis tan. Penjdeh is to be ceded to Russia and a friendly agreement is to be made with the Ameer. St. Petersburg, April 20. The report gains ground that England has made fresh proposals which Russia is inclined to accept. The newspapers welcome here what they call the retreat of the British and agree that peace is assured. Calcutta, April 20. While the Ameer was at Rawul Pindi he expressed confidence in the ability of the Afghans to repel a Russian attack without outside aid, and in deference to his wish, or ders to English officers to fortify Herat were rescinded. Preparations for war, however, continue unabated. The troops which were assembled at Rawul Pindi have returned to their respective departments, but are held in readiness for active service. The movement of field stores to Pishin and Guetta contin ues. Pears are expressed that the English cabinet will concede Penjdeh to Russia, thus giving Russia a diplomatic triumph. The popular feeling in Afghanistan is more friend ly to England now than it has been at any time since the last w ar London, April 20. Tile Times states that the government lias been informed that the captains of all British trading vessels now at Danubian ports, are preparing to leave the Danube and Black Sea to guard against retention and capture in the straits of the Dardanelles, which are blocked. This has resulted in a rnise of freight rates. English engineer officers have been sent to Alexandria to inspect the forts and to report upon the best way to put them in the imtne dia»e state of defence. A continuous interchange of despatches has been kept up since Saturday between Earl Granville and M. De Giers. The indi cations are again more warlike. The breach between Russia aud England is widening, and the possibility of an amicable settlement is conaidereil more remote than at any time during the past few days. It is considered significant that all the members of the cabinet remained in London over Sunday. St. Petersburg, April 20. Thirty-two men-of-war are in complete readiness to put to sea from Cronstadt in re sponse to orders issued this morning. A project is openly discussed in Russia to continue the f'aspain-Askabad railway to Sarakhs, Herat, Candahar and the Indus river. Some say the object is to have a rail way route from England to India. Military men are of the opinion that when the route is finished to Sarakhs, which will occupy three tears, Russia will attack India. London, April 20. It is stated in Liberal circles that the nego tiations regarding the frontier question have assumed a less favorable aspect, owing to the revival by Russia of a question which had been regarded as finally settled. The Stand ard says that despite the apparent peaceful settlement of the negotiations, there are indi cations sufficient to warn reasonable men against the assumption that the storm has passed. There is no abatement of Russia’s ardor in preparing tor war, and the exulting Muscovite papers in reminding the British that their threats are futile, ami suggest that their statesmen may attempt to push their advantage beyond the limits which Glad stone’s cabinet even can tolerate. Earl Granville staled this afternoon in the Lords that the government has received a despatch from Sir Peter Lumsden which con tained a contradiction of the account of the Penjdeh incident as given by General Kom arotf. The cabinet met today to consider the eon lents ii an important despatch just received from Lord Dulferin. Tlie X’all Mall Gazette states this afternoon that despite all prevalent alarmist rumors, it is in a position to state that the differences between England and Russia are in a fair way towards settlement. The reply of M. I)e Giers to Earl Gran ville’s demand for explanation of General Komarofl’s attack on the Afghans on Kaskh river, was considered in the cabinet council today. The reply says that Gen. Komaroff’s despatches, copies ol which have been .for warded to the British government, sufficiently explain the X’enjdeh incident, and that it is therefore needless to supplement them. M. I)e Giers, in his turn, complains strong ly of what he calls the excessive numbers of General Lunisden's escort. He says, this dis play of British armed force on the Afghan territory, together with the military demon strations at Rawal Pindi, and Earl Bufferin'* defiant language, encouraged he Afghans to provoke the Russian attack by leading them to believe thev could rely on British support. M. I)e Giers does not express the slightest regret for Gen. KomarofTs action, and he even suggests that Gen. K imaroff would have neglected his duty if he had failed to attack the Afghans. The Ameer, owing to the opposition of his subjects, seem indisposed to all the British troops to enter Afghanistan, which it is feared would cause rebellion, the Ameer being un popular. The Ameer is willing to cede Penj deh to Russia in return for her evacuation ot the Zulficar passes which command the road to Herat. Difficulty arises from the refusal of the Russian war party to the withdrawal from Zulficar. It is believed that M. De Giers’ party are inclined to support this policy, believing the English cabinet is inclined to give way. Vighsa, April 20. The Grand Duke Constantine, uncle of the Czar, while here recently, repeatedly de clared that the Czar and the imperial court of Russia desired peace. The Royal Party in Irelaad. Dcblih, April 20. The Royal Party on their way to Dublin stopped at Limerick and were welcomed with the most brilliant reception. During the journey between Killarney and Limerick the Prince and Princess met with some hostile manifestations. The Prince and Princes of Wales arrived here this evening and were very cordially received. ENGLISH PARLIAMENT. Gladstone Makes a Statement— A Hi*, cussion on tke Hosphoie-Egyptian Difficuly—’Trouble Expected With France.

1.os nos. April SO. Gladstone in the House of Commons this afternoon.made the following statement: “The government on Friday received a despatch lrom Sir Peter I.umsden. but the telegram was not an answer to our inquiries and instructions despatched to him on the j 10th inst. It will be necessary to await that answer before we can make any statement." Lord Randolph Churchill, conservative, asked Gladstone how far England was com plicated and how far responsible in the sup i preasion of the Bosphore-Egyptian at Cairo. Gladstone replied that Egypt had not acted alone in the matter, and admitted that Eng land was not in a position to disclaim all the responsibility for the act. Gladstone gave notice that the government would introduce the expected motion for a vote of credit tomorrow. The Premier’s replies in the House of Com mons concerning the Bosphore-Egyptian and Afghan incidents were very guarded He answered a number of questions about the Anglo-Russian dispute witii studied evasion, and ill all said in the House todav added lit tle or nothing to what had been already known. As evidence of the bellicose feeling among the members of Parliament, it mav be men tioned that when Gladstone uneqvivucally stated that Sir Peter Lumsden's telegram of Friday confirmed lbs previous accounts of the fight at Penjdeh and conflicted with those made about the same battle by Gen. Komarotl the declaration was received with a low rip ple of satisfaction, which aooii developed inio a cheer. F’eara are entertained that the Bosphore Egyptian aflair is likely to lead to a ddlicully between France and England. The situation at the close of the session in Parliament this evening was one ot a general j feeling of uneasiness bordering on alarm THE EGYPTIAN W All.

A Terrible Affair Reported Prom Teiaa —The End Not Yet. Dallas, Tex.. April 20. News reached here yesterday from the Mineral Wells of a terrible stabbing aflrav at that place, at which Green Bowser, ageil 16 years, was killed. He was called out of a saloon by five boys, two brothers named Bell two cousins named Glenn and a fifth person named Anglin. Bowser was literally carved to death and died instantly. The cause of the cowardly assault is said to have been caused by an unjust remark made by Bowser concerning the Bells and Glens, which was repeated to them by Anglid. All those im plicated in the crime were arrested. A mob is reported to have collected and demanded them from the officers. All the boys are well connected and a terrible feud between the friends of the prisoners and their victim will probably follow. Kmlrond Strike Feared.

On every hand we see evidences that win ter is breaking up, and will soon have to yield lo the advancing spring. It is a most important question amongst scientific men what causes the general feeling of debility and lassitude so prevalent in this region. While some regard it as the result of con flnment and inaction, oth rs suppose it to be caused by the decay of vegetable and animal debris which has accumulated during the winter. What is especially needed at this time, however, is something to ov it come these influences. It is too late to talk about the causes: what is the cure Thousands of persons all over the country who have given Kidney-Wort a faithful trial are readv to tes tify that no other remedy is equal to it for cleansing the system, purifying the blood, regulating the bowels, and curing all kidney and liver diseases.

Hut it is thought there are better times coining. One hundred republicans of the Illinois legislature voted Friday for Logan, but this was not a quorum, and the democrats and one reptihliuan did not vote. The Cleveland Plain Dealer (Dem.) wants the President “to swing off" the republican parly in the same firm manner, in which he executed the extreme penalty of the law while he was Sheriff. Mrs Custer has sent to the Soldiers’ Aid Fair in Boston the 11 ig of truce sent by General Leo to General Grant at Ap pomattox. It was a towel, and cost the officer who bore it f Pl.t'on federate money.

Trouble is leaved, and the presence of soldiers may be required. A. It. Lewis of Poughkeepsie, N. V., hasSoid a handsome seal-brown coach team to President Cleveland's agent. They are Id hands 1 inch high This raises the question whether Jeffersonian simplicity ha* been strictly followed by the President In buying so expensive a span of horses. The Chicago Inter-Ocean objects to statements accusing both parties in that city ol election frauds. “No attempt,” it says, “has ever been made in the courts to prove that any election crime has cvcf been committed in Chicago to further the interests of the republican party in a sin gle instance.” There will be. according to the host guesses, about 11:1,000,000 bushels ot wheat in this year's crop. It requires for our own consumption 316,000,000 bushels. We have on hand about 121,000,000 bushels of last year’s crop. This will give us 819,000,000 lor export. At the present outlook every bushel of it will he needed If General Grant should recover, what will become of the physicians who have attended hint and sent forth their learned disquisitions upon his ease It looks as though the “quack" whom they turned away from the General's door. might felicitously be railed in as executioner of these savants should the General regain his health. It is now reported that the appointment of Minister Phelps was not confirmed without objection, as had been supposed, but that Senator Sherman, of Ohio, made a strong speech against it, taking the ground that Mr. Phelps’s former connec tion with the notorious Emma Mine swin dle rendered his selection little less than an insult to Great Britain. He also urged, according to report, that the offensive and extravagant speeches of Mr. Phelps about the war and about slavery rendered him a peculiarly unfit man for the position. The New Age was very jolly last week over the case of the swindling postmaster at Centre Lineolnville.whom it pronounced a republican official, it turns out. how ever, that Dunton is a democrat. The coming in of a democratic administration evidently emboldened the “rascal" in his pilferlngs Irom the public, and led to his detection and arrest by Inspector Stevens, who will doubtless receive an augmented shower of abuse this week from ex-Gov ernor Pl&isted lor his valuable and efficient efforts in aiding to “turn the rascal out" and bring him to )ustice. The application of the electrical motor to New York elevated railways will make a great change in the running of the cara opon them. The Mail and Express sets forth the advantages to accrue as follows ••1st. There will be none of the noises caused by the locomotives. Trains will move almost without noise—with so little noise that it will not be audible from the surface of the street. 2d. Of course the smoke and cinders of locomotives will no longer exist. 3d. The ability of tbe, at present, overcrowded and overworked el evated railways to carry passengers will be indefinitely increased because as each car is supplied with its own motor, trains can be lengthened and shortened accord ing to the demand, and the delays and trouble of switching will be done away with altogether. In fact, within sixty days New Yorkers will enjoy the perfec tion of rapid transit, and in their streets will be seen the latest and best results of; electrieal science and invention.” The democratic papers of the State are dividing into hostile camps in regard to the course of the Mayor and Marshal of Portland in inforcing the liquor law in that city. It is enteresting to notice that none of them make any account of the duty of officers to enforce the law. but dis cuss the subject solely with regard to the effect upon the democratic party of the strict enforcement of the law by demo cratic officials. The disputants are likely to have a lively time before they settle the difficulty with which they are struggling, Political Brevities. That ‘Clean Sweep” Postponed.

UiiihI Conduct Well Cold t or. [Springfield Republican (Ind.

Indeed, most of the democratic loaf has gone there up to date. The Wrong Target for “Mugwump" Pop Gum. [From The Newark Advertiser,] With his usual happy faculty for stirring up a hornet’s nest in the opposition party, Mr. William Walter Phelps has set the busy hodies of the independent republican stripe all a-buzzing. If our mugwump friends would turn their batteries against the enemies Mr. Cleveland is making in his own party, and waste less ammunition on the “Blaine republicans.” they would display a little more sense than they do now in their fiery and suporaerviceable zeal. A Heal Assails a Skill A Caliban of tiik Sea With Green Eyes and White Moustaciiios. Yesterday morning the bay yielded a sea monster of strange appearance. The mon ster was first seen by Carl Sevening and John Peat near the North Heads at about 9 o’clock. The animal exposed a fiercely moustached head, of a shape between that of a seal and a sea lion, surveyed the scene, took a dislike to the boat and charged upon it. .Just before reaching the boat the mon ster dived and came up under the boat, lift ing it and the occupants, but not capsizing it. I'he enemy made a second appearance on the opposite side of the boat, four feet off I and was met with active battle Peat dealt a blow on the monster’s head with an oar, knocking it out for a moment, and Sev ening followed with another blow which knocked the beast sillv. The pair then se cured the animal with the boat’s painter and began rowing it. when the enemy came to time for a second round This it began by t >wing the boat rapidly for a quarter of a mile. It then came to the surface lor breath, when Sevening landed it a biow, gaining first blood ami ending the fight with a square knock-out. The enemy turned and was towed to the foot of Larkin street, where it took six men to land it. The animal meas ured six feet in length and weighed about 300 pounds. It had two flippers of great strength, which measured a foot and one-half in length—San Francisco Chronicle. Personal. Mr. Robert Treat Prine. Jr., will sail for Europe with Rev.

The get of Constellation have been very prominent ffgures in colt races since they have commenced to come forward, and two of these, Glenarm and Gallant, hold the best record made in the State for colts of three and four years of age. Gallant is dead, but Glenarm has been able to show increased speed each year since then, and this fact, to gether with his rich breeding has caused his i service to be much sought for Kinsman, j owned by L C. Kyerson of Lew- iston, is full brother to Glenarm, but four years younger. He is now, at three years, a colt of tine size and appearance, and though he has never been handled with a view of early developing his speed, he has shown that he will be a worthy son of a dam that produced Independence and Glenarm The maxim that “like begets like,” leads to the belief, that with proper opportunities he will become famous as a sire, a fact which Mr. Uverson believes will be in good part indi- I cated by the young Kinsmen that are soon to i result from the past year’s service. The new departure of the State Fair people in offering cups to the stallions that shall trot the two fastest miles at the coming Fair, is provoking much discussion.

LeLacheur in this vicinity »s well as throughout the State. “The Vaughin street parish has been a succession of successful surprises. Less than three years ago it started in the Ward room; the Ward room soon became tool small for the congregation, and so the first great surprise was a donation to the pastor, Rev. 1). W. Lelaciieur. of $,'1,000 from Mr. George Gilman, for a lot of land. During the building of the church, the members of the parish suffered greatly for the work. Yesterday was another great surprise, the pastor stated that the debt on the parish property way $1,500, and Mr. George Gil man donated $1,111X1, and the balance was soon made up, and now the parish is free trom debt, for which they thank God and Mr. George Gilman.

In northern Aroostook there is still a large body of snow. It covers the fences, and in some places is six feet deep. Though the snow does not disappear so early in Arooatook county as it does in other parts of the State, crops are put in the ground about as early, for the reason that there is not so much frost iu the ground, and as soon as the snow leaves, planting can be begun. There seems to be a pretty general feeling among the farmers of Aroostook county that the future prospect for starch will not war rant them in putting in so many potatoes as they did last year.

Small of Ouida, I)ak.. formerly pastor of the Congregational church at Wilton, Me., and also a former pastor of the Turner church, stating that his son For est had not been seen or heard from since December 4th, and it was feared that he had been murdered while going on horseback to a neighboring town to attend a lawsuit. I.ater information was to the effect that certain par ties were suspected and one of them had con fessed the crime. It seems young Small was waylaid and murered by a ruffian named J. II. Bell on the afternoon of December 4th. Bell had an accomplice, Bennett, who has confessed the crime. The murder was one of terrible atrocity, and the body has been found.

THE (EXTOE’S (TOST. If all the strange tales that sextons can tell were pot together in one volume, the book would be more fascinating than Arab ian Nights or Pilgrim's Progress. Sextons ass many sides of life, and of death too, which other folks know very little about. From the orange blossoms of the wedding procession to the black robes of the funeral cortege is but a step in the every day life of the sextop. He knows all the gossip among the church people, and keepe in his head, more or less, the accurate account of those who come regularly, and of those who stay away. Nobody except the doctor and the minister know as much as the sexton knows of what is going on in the community. Kexton Judd, of the North Church in New Haven, Conn., is as well known as the church itself; the church being one of the most famous ecclesiastical landmarks of orthodoxy. His genial lace and pleasant smile are part of the recognized religious features of the city. He has a cheery word for everybody, and so has everybody for him. Home time ago Hcxton Jmid bud a severe tussle, not with ghosts, nor w ith the powers of darkness, but with an enemy of the human race, winch singled him out for its victim and laid him on his hack in grievous torture. As that same enemy had knocked down so many good people who have not yet obtained the victory in which Hexton Judd rejoices, Mr. Judd’s story is of personal interest to thousands. e will let him tell it as be recently told it to a friend who called on him in New Haven For a good many years I hail been troubled with the pains of neuralgia, par ticularly those which attack the hip and thigh, in the way of sciatica. At times they were severe, and then for some time 1 would have almost none. Bat about two years ago I felt the sciatic nttack coniine on me stronger than it hail ever wait be fore. For four or five days the pains would strike me at intervals, just an if to let me know that a big attack was coming. Well, it came, in full force, and all of a sudden. I was at the store,—for during the week I am busy with curtain-fixture-', and all that sort of upholstery work,—and I was seized with a sciatic attack wliii 1: knocked me entirely helpless. For two hours I was in such agony as I had never suffered before, and never want to stiller again. After a while Mr. Searles came in. He hud been out of town that day and had just returned. I knew about his AI hi phoros, and what it had done for himself and others, lint 1 had never, up tc thi time, taken any. Now I was ready to o what it rotild do for me. 1 asked Mr. Hearles if there was any use of trying it for n man who was Buffering us 1 wu-i.

A TALI OF A PrMPIIX What was Wrought bt a Woman’s Faith and Courage. (Continue*! from yesterday.) ••Bot you’ll get strong again,” said Sara,“and we’ve the house and the land.” Bat Hiram was too weak to feel any hope or courage. He took to his bed again, i and lay there still when it was time for a j farmer to be busy. However, he did not die, and there was another convalescence. Sara had not had i time to be ill. she dared not. What she could do she had done. But a tarm needs i its master. If they raised enough for j I food that year despite neighborly kindness and Ben’s vow to work forever without i wages if need be, that was all they could I do. And it was a poor year. No fruit to spean of, vegetables small and mean,and corn a disappointment. Moreover one of Fielding's creditors did prove himself a rascal; and although j the farmer swore to having paid this debt, i there was no receipt to be found, and a j mortgage of the land was the consequence. I Often the discouraged man declared that 1 he wished the thief had also murdered him, and he meant it. But Sara Fielding kept her courage up, and now that her husband was fairly on his feet, and bad even flung away cane and crutch, would have been perfectly; happy could she have made him so. And thus Thanksgiving came about again, and friends shook their heads once j more, and said, poor Mrs. fielding would j hsve a different Thanksgiving from what: she’d been used to. And many invitations were sent to those who had entertained se freely while they could; but Hiram would have none of them, and, to tell the truth, j little toes were out, and little dresses| were not Iresh and holiday-like. ••We’ll keep Thanksgiving at home,” said Sara Fielding. ■•Thanksgiving! said Hiram, sadly. I ••Well, my girl, It won’t be much of cue, i and 1 can’t say that 1 fell thankful much, either.” “And then there ain’t any uunking,” J said little Lizzie, and no turkey.” There is a pumpkin, said the mother,; triumphantly—"a good one—I’ve kept watch over it. It’s all right.'’ Hiram groaned, thinking of the wagon fuls that rolled to market the year before. “And,” said the comfortable woman, “I think roast pork with applesauce, as good as turkey. We have got two bar rels ot apples. I shall keep Thanksgiv ing. I wouldn’t miss it lor any consider ation. and Hiram, you go to church and take Jack, and I’ll get dinner lor you,—I and Lizzie and Sue.” And she hail her way. .Madge the faithful, had gone to ser vice elsewhere, long before, and Sara had no help; and now, having tidied the house, she went out doors to look for eggs. Some of tlie chickens had been lost in the fire, some had sincedied mysteriously; but there were a few left. But her search was not as successful as usual. Speckled Gray had taken to hiding her eggs, and there must be three or four somewhere. At last she heard a cackle, and looking carefully, espied Speckled Gray's head protruding from the ruins of the barn. Beans and hoards hud so fallen as to make a hiding-place for Speckle, and thither she was wending her way. Sara Fielding followed her. An arm's length in, she could see by crouching low, the great white pearls that were to make her pumpkin richer. She put in her hand and drew them forth—four—five—and (hen what was that lying there—that stained, blackened thing, with, glimpses of red leather at the edges? Was it a book? Was it? yes, it was a great soft, flat pocket book in which Hiram Fielding had carried his wealth about his person, in his great confidence in his own strength and safety. Sara drew it out, and trembling, looked at it. It was warped and melted into a wad, but somehow only on the outside. As she tore it open she saw that within, it was discolored and stained, but not burnt. Their little tortune was safe; there was hope and courage for Hiram, now. It is strange how much determination will do. Sara Fielding would have faint ed on the ground but lor the spirit with which she fought away the weakness that crept over her; but she did get into her kitchen without doing it. and then she flung herself upon her knees and wept and prayed together, and grew strong again. “I smell the fire,” said little Jack, hur rying in after meeting. “Ain’t it good, though pa; dinner is ready.” “And I’m ready for it,” said the farm er. “How bright you all look, girls. What ts it, the one pumpkin?” lie spoke a little bitterly as lie uttered the last words, and drew his chair to the table. There stood the pork, the potatoes, the great golden pie, adishof apple-sauce and another, covered. ‘•Will you give thanks, Hiram?” asked bis wife. "I suppose 1 ought.” said Hiram. We’ve got a house over us this year. Ijjext perhaps—no matter.” “He bent his head and uttered a few words of thanksgiving, thinking of all that a disappointed man does think, even then. Then he leaned back in his chair. “Why, what's in the little dish?” asked Hiram. “Why do you look so?” And Sara rescned across and lifted the lid; and Hiram knew. Everything was safe—the coupon-bonds, the money, the receipts—that of the wicked creditor included. In contrast with his state yesterday Hiram felt himself a rich man. and he had the opportunity of start ing fair and even witli the world again at least. Sara w as not the only one down whose checks ran tears that day—tears of joy, and thankfulness “And it all comes about,” Hiram says I today, because.mv Sara kept her heart so well; was thankful to heaven for all its mercies, and made the best she could of our one pumpkin.” >aturp's Kiddles. Chickens, two minutes after they have left the egg,will follow with their eyes the i movements of crawling insects and peck I at them, judging distance and direction j with almost infallible accuracy. Thev 1 will instinctively appreciate sounds, read ily running toward an invisible hen hidden in a box when they hear her “call.” Some young birds also hove an innate, instinc tive horror of the sight of a hawk and of the sound of its voice. Swallows, titmice, tomtits, and w rens, after having been con fined from birth, are capable of flying successfully at once when liberated, on their wings having attained the necessary growth to render flight possible. The I>uke of Argyll relates some very in teresting particulars about the in stincts of birds, especially of the water ousel, the merganser, and the wild duck. Even as to the class of beasts I find re corded: “Five young pole cats were It Will Save Your Life. 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 is tainted with Scrofula, or the system is weak, Catarrh or CoAsumpt ion is sure to follow. Ayer s Cherry Pectoral is the only remedy that may be uniformly relied npon 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. AV. 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. II. Quirk, Ful ton, Kaus., writes: "Ayer’s Cherry Pec toral saved my life twenty years ago. It is a favorite medicine in my family.” Catarrh prevails in this country to an alarming extent. It is a troublesome and disgusting disease, usually induced by neg lected colds, and. if allowed to become chronic, produces Bronchitis, and often terminates in Consumption. Ernest H. Darrah, Toliesboro. Kv.. writes: “A year 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 IVIe 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 origin, I find Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral invaluable.” Dr. F. E. Pape, Sandusky, Ohio, writes: I have used Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral iu my practice, and, in connection with Ayer's Pills, find it an invaluable remedy for colds, coughs, and the inflammatious that follow them upon the throat and lungs. We have no other remedy which I consider so sure iu its effects.” C. H. Ficrcr, Moline, 111., writes: “Catarrh had nearly destroyed my sense of taste aud smell. Ayer's Cher ry Pectoral effected a complete cure.” Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral lias effected many wonderful cures. 3Irs. 3Iary 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 -trength, and believed herself about to become a victim of Consumption. While in this condition, she was strongly recommended by Rev. Dr. Rlanchard, of Lowell, 3Iass., to makers trial of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. She did so, and by its use was restored to perfect health. Since her recovery the Pectoral has been her sole dependence for colds, coughs, and all similar troubles, which it has never failed to cure.” PREPARED BY Or. J. C.

On exam ination, the whole number, toads and ali, proved to have been purposely and dex terously bitten through the brain.” Evi dently the parent polecat had thus provi ded the young with food which could bei kept perfectly fresh, because alive, and j yet was rendered quite unable to escape.; This singular instinct is like others which are yet more fully developed among in- j sects—a class of animals the instincts of 1 which are so numerous, wonderful, and notorious that it mill be, probably, enough to refer to one or two examples. The fe male carpenter bee, in order to protect her eggs, excavates, in some piece of wood, a i series of chambers, in special order with a view to a peculiar mode of exit for her j young; but the young mother can have no j conscious knowledge of the series of ac-1 tions subsequently to ensue. The female of the wasp, sphex, affords another well known, but very remarkle, example of a complex instinct closely related to that al ready mentioned in the case of the polecat The female wasp has to provide fresh, liv ing animal food for her progeny, which, when it quits its egg. quits it in the form of an almost helpless grub, utterly unable to catch, retain, or kill an active, struggling prey. Accordingly the mother insect has not only to provide and place beside her eggs suitable living prey, but so to treat it that it may be a helpless, un rasisting victim. 'Hat victim may be a mere caterpiller, or it may be a great, powerful grasshoper, or even that most lierce, active, and rapacious of insect tyrants, a tell and venomous spider. Whichever it may be. the wasp adroitly slings it at the spot which induces, or in the several spots which induce, complete paralysis as to motion, let ns hope as to sensation also. This done, the wasp en tombs the helpless being with its own egg and leaves it for the support ot the future grub.—Fortnightly Review.
