During a discussion in the House ot Lords this afternoon, concerning the government's policy with Russia, a dramatic and exciting incident occurred.

Capture of the Supposed Indiana Train Robber—If the Right Party, He May be Lynched. Bloomington, Ind., May 11. All the work of the detectives has resulted in apparently fixing the guilt of the recent robbery of the express safe and the murder ous assault on the messenger and baggage master, on William Wright, whose parents reside near liarrodsburg, but a short distance from the scene of the robbery. Wright was a short time ago in the regular army and was also a cowboy in Texas. He left his home in this county on the day of the robbery and answers the description of the robber in every particular. A photograph of Wright, taken two year* ago, was sent to New Albany and the baggage master feels confident that he is the man. A despatch has been received from Terre Haute announcing the arrest of Wright at that place. The city marshal of Bloom ington started after him immediately. He will arrive here on the noon train to see if he can identify him. If he is pronounced to be the culprit the probabilities are that be will be lynched. FROM WASHINGTON. Resignation ol Henry B.

§a9g fmmwl AurusU. Tuesday Morning, May 12. Cleanliness and Health. The fear of the coming of cholera to this country is stimulating the people to unus ual efforts to seek out and cleanse the places where filth accumulates. In every city health committees are busy examining all quarters wherever signs of filth ap pear. and compelling the closest attention to cleaning out these breeding places of disease. In the country districts, though the evil is less, the necessity for cleanli ness also exists. There is much that may and should be done even about farm prem ises to render them clean and healthy. The relation between cleanliness and health, filth and disease, is very well un derstood. There are examples everywhere to show that scrupulous neatness condu ces to healthy bodies and that filthiness tends to disease. Just at this time there is a case attracting wide attention in this country, showing the effects of want of care in regard to this matter. The town of Plymouth, near Wilkesbarre, Pa., has been suffering from an epidemic because of the want ol proper drain age and the use of water from wells impregnated with the germs of disease filtered into them from the surface or through passages in the soil below. The town has about 10,000 inhabitants It has had a rapid growth within a few years, hut while the popula tion increased no sewers were built and filth abounded. The people were sup plied with river water, but conceiving that the water was not pure, they com menced using old wells and springs which bad been unused for some time. The state of things is described as follows by a correspondent of the New York Times: The Plymouth people were and are strong ly prejudiced against uaing river water on ac count ot its impurities, anil in auch a small place It win aooo known all over town that the water supplied through the pipes was pump'd from the river. This drove people tii using the well*, which had Item standing limiai d and uncleaned for months and years. .Sometimes a dozen families used the same well, going considerable distances for their water, rHtlier than drink that taken from the river. The wells are all over town—on the hillsides, on the Hats, and on the bluff. Most of them had not been used at any rate since is*! summer. Old wells were reopened, pump* were brought into use. and fora week at least Plymouth used well water Out of the wells, as I believe, came 7o0 eases of ma larial fever, and 70 deaths. What wells are in anv town of 10,000 in- i habitants, without any drainage, it is hardly necessary to mention, lint in Plymouth they j wi re worse than in most towns, on account of Its tilth and the dirty habits of many of its people There are not more than a dozen water clnaeta in the town, and these are drained into the river; all the other closets ate built over shallow holes, which are never cleaned. Up on the hillside, where a great many of the poorer people live, and where nearly all the people have large yards, it is the custom to dig a hole not more than four feet deep and build a closet over it. When this hole bt conies so filled up that it is abso lutely unusable, ug»»- iWowu’a Sardian.la. I ata say, that, so lar a.* my expor ience goes, U Is the best thiug for purifyiug the blood known."

In a recent issue of the Journal we noticed an item stating that Vassaiboro had seven post offices which was a greater number than any other town in the State, if not in New England. The town of Turner in Androscog gin goes us one better, having eight.—There came near being quite a serious accident in the machine shop of the Vassaiboro Woolen Vew da>a a«°* A» Mr. O.

Pilot Kstiz. The American Cultivator has the following to say about a horse owned in Augusta, now located at Beacon Park. Boston “Pilot Knox is at present making a short season in the stud, and will probably not appear upon the turf until August, when he will be fitted for the race for the Spirit of the Times, Stallion Cup. He is a brown horse, standing 15} hands, and weighing ordinarily about 1100 pounds, was bred by Orville Hi Clark, West Bristol, Me., and foaled in 1875. His shoul ders, hack, loins, quarters, gaskins, hocks and hind legs could not have been better had they been designed by the most expert horse man and made to order by an artisan of the highest skill. If he cornea to the wire in good form the horse that beats him in the stallion race will never be eligible to the 2.17 class again.” Marriage and Health* Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov. 5th, 1883. Mrs Lydia E l’inkham “As is frequently ihe case with mothers who have reared large’fatnilies, I have been a great sufferer f.,r years from complaints incident to married life. I have tried the skill of a number of physicians, and the virtue of many medicines without relief, and as an experiment I concluded to try yours. I can assure you that the benefits I have derived from it came not because of any faith I had in it, for I had hut slight hope of any permanent good. I am not a seeker after notoriety but I want to tell you that I have been wonderfully benefited by your medicine. I am now using my fourth bottle and it would take hut little argument to per suade me that my health is fully restored. I should like to widely circulate the fact of its wonderful curative powers.

The town of Presque Isle has voted to re build the bridge recently swept away bv the ice freshet, across the Aroostook river, at a cost not exceeding $8,000. The town is to maintain a free ferry until the bridge is com pleted. They have commenced rebuilding the railroad bridge at Woodstock. There were some narrow escapes at St. Francis during the recent flood. A corre spondent of the Herald write*: Mr. Savage lost one barn and a small house on his island. Mr. McLane lost the barn on his intervale. Mr. John Casey also lost a barn. Mr. Gard ner lives on a large island. The water rose to the tops of the windows of his house and the family h rely escaped with their lives. Mr. Xavier Cyr lives at some distance from the river, on the bank of a small stream. Mr. Cyr saw it coming and had only time to get his horse from the barn before the water was up to his shoulders. I am in formed that his house was destroyed. Mr. John Clair’s wife and children saw the flood coming and started (or help. She arrived at a spot where the water was rushing across her path, and stood but a moment in dismay when the water and ice arose around them. Fortunately, Mr. Mar tin Savage saw them and having luckily at hand a small canoe, rescued them. In two minutes after they were in the boat, the wa ter was three feet deep where they had stood. At Little Falls,the fine bridge over the Mada waska was taken clean off and landed some distance from its own place. The bridge be low Little Falls called the “Indian bridge” was driven up stream some ways. The ice gorged below, and the water rose so rapidly that no one could do more than save their lives. Cumberland. A brass band composed of boys from nine to twelve years of age, is in constant practice in Portland, and has already attained a good degree of pmfiencv. The residents of Bramhal! and Munjov hills, Portland, have lately petitioned for a better water supply. A committee has in vestigate the matter and find that the trouble is due to the waste Of water in other parts of the city. Means will be adopted to remedy the evil. The Brunswick Telegraph says: Tuesday afternoon we had the pleasure of seeing run ning the machine just introduced at the Pulp mill, to manufacture small cardboard dishes for grocers and fruiters use, in which to deliver goods. It is a model of work when in exact adjustment; it pastes, cuts and blocks out with a mould, 42 dishes a min ute, and the board is fed to it iu a ribbon from a cylinder, varying in width according to the size of the disti made, and four sizes are now run at the mill.

Penobscot. S. D. Cushman of Dexter, while eating a piece of cheese, the other day, felt a sudden twinge in the end of his tongue, which almost immediately began to swell and grow black, says the Gazette. A doctor was called, who told Mr. C- that if the tongue had swollen to tbe extent shown in five minutes, as he said, he would be a dead man in an hour and a half. The doctor, however, applied a power ful acid to the tongue, and the swelling soon went down. Mr. Cushman thinks some small poisonous insect must have bitten him or there must have been a particle of rank poison in the cheese. Miss Alice Hind of Winterport, was iron ing vests in J. C.

JOYFUL nw BAUD TAJLOK. Then in no misfits” at the establish ment of Kraft Brothers, the tailors, of Cen tre street, New Haven. Everybody i«. onnecticnt knows the reputation of these gentlemen for good work and for reliabil ity. Cheerful and busy men they an and Itjttely attentive to their business. To look at Mr. Henry Kraft as be is now, briskly and busy, attending to the details of store affairs, nobody would sup pose that he had been a great sufferer from rheumatism. But such is the case. He is now a perfectly well man, and therefore his story may be of interest to those who hare felt the torture* of rheumatism ss he did. One of oar writer* spent an hour with him not long ago, and listened to the narration of his experience. I have had several severe attacks of rheumatism, which were so bad as to lay me op, «"d I have had a great number of leaser attacks of it. It is a cruel disease, and I assure you I am glad to be rid of it. My first attack was about six years ago. My last attack was somewhat over two year* ago. It was a big one. I had taken a severe cold, and the rheumatism came on suddenly and with great sharpness. In the previous attacks I had never used Athlophoroe, for I had never heard of it. But now I had heard that there was such a medicine and sent for Mr. Hearles, who makes it, and I asked him to be my doc tor. Mr. bearles said he did not attend anybody a# a phynctan, bui ne new Untie of the Athlophoros medicine with directions how to take it. Oh I what a sweat I had when I took l.iat medicine! Why, I sweat all night. My pain had been chiefly in my side and the calf of my leg, ami when it took me suddenly it would knock me over. In this attack the pain had*wly CLEANED OR OYED and Kxnreeaed C. O. D. Addrpw OSTEIFS FOR. an CITY DYE ROCSE, Id Preble Street, PORT. LARD, MAINE. Utt Certain deansed and done ap like new.

I am glad to see you.” There was an embrace, and the lady burst into tears. "Lesbia has not a beaming eye cried Frank Res ton. barrister, who had just leaped down from the dog-cart after a cold drive from the station at Ramford. to his brother-in-law’s handsome place, the Cop pices. Calkston, where that new relative had settled after his return from Australia, where he bad been sent—the younger son of a good old country family—to see what he could do as what is euphoniously termed a squatter. He had squatted to some advantage, the fates having been kind and, after making a moderate for tune. be had suddenly doubled it by mar rying the widow of a colonial magnate. At the lady’s desire-her will being paramount—they were on the way toLng fand. when one night they were awakened by an awful crash, and. rushing on deck, they found all in confusion. Some vessel had run into them during the fog, cut the great Austral liner down below the wa ter’s edge, and during the next half hour there was a fight for life. John Audas behaved admtraoiy. »»ueu the rush was made for the boats, he knocked down half a dozen cowards one after the other, and by sheer strength helped the captain to send off the first boat properly manned, with half the women passengers, merely stipulating that his shrieking elderly wife should be one. Then he helped with the next, and got that off safely, belore being overpowered, for a mad rush ensued, the other boats were filled anyhow, and at last the captain, second mate, half a dozen men and the brave young passenger were lett alone on the doek of the sinking ship, witn jusi lime enough to lash a lew spars together, throw them overboard, and trust them selres to this frail support before the ves sel went down. From this raft they were picked up ex hausted, half dead,by a passing ship, hav ing seen no more of the boats, all of which were lost, presumably in the gale which came on before many hours had passed and thus it was that John Audas found himself a widower at thirty-live, and far from inconsolable, for report said his ex istence with the colonial magnate had been a kind to which people give a very unpleasant term. So little indeed was the handsome voung colonist affected by his loss that, after set tling down at the Coppices, where he revelled in the life of a country gentle man. a year had hardly passed before he was a suitor for the hand of Lesbia Res ton, the daughter ol the o’d vicar of Calk ton, and the belle of the county ball. Matters followed one another in the most prosaic way. John Audas was be yond reproach for a son-in-law; his woo ing was downright and honest; the lady found the bluff, sun-browned, well-in formed fellow—albeit he was far from clever—quite a contrast and relief after the insipid “locals” of the neighborhood; so the result was, that after rather a short intimacy. John Audas proposed, was ac cepted, Frank Reston came from the Tem ple to be present at his sister’s wedding, and now, that six months later, he had run down to the Coppices to have a little shooting, he found her thin, pale, care worn, and ready at a word to burst into tears. “Why, little Lesby,” he cried, with all his old petting ways, “what is it? Sure ly, Jack is not behaving badly to you 3” "No. Oh no! It is nothing, Frank; I am a little hysterical.” “But it is something.” he exclaimed. “I’ll have it out with John.” "Mv dear Frank, you’ll make me wretched if you say a word.” “Oh, well it you take that tone, of course I will not,” said her brother; “but I came down here for a rest and to have a bit of enjoyment, and find you in tears.” “Yes. yes, and it's all my nonsense, Frank, dear. There, it’s all gone. now. It’s the weather. I think.” “Where's John “Either in the stables, or down the gar den. dear. I’ll send tor him.” "Oh, I'll go and look him up. I suppose he’ll be glad to see me “Why, of course, dear. He has been talking about nothing else since he heard vou were coming, and making no end ot plans.” “Ah, that’s right said Frank Reston. smiling. “And I’m so glad you’ve come, Frank, dear. You see. I’m afraid I’m not much of company for dear John—not as good company as—as I think his first wife was.” “Well, you're a deal better company than she is now.” “I try very hard to take an interest in his pursuits; ’out I’m so stupid. Frank, that I'm afraid, lie’s got all out of pa tience.” “I’ll tell yon what it is, Lesby,” said Frank Reston bluntly “it yon two people can’t be happy in this glorious place, with every luxury about you. and only to speak to have whatever—you deserve—there, I don’t know what vou don’t deserve.” “Yes, near, we do,” said the lady, meekly. “Ah, here comes dear John. I’llrunBway; don’t tell him I've been crying.” “Stuff! Is it likely "And pray, pray Frank, don’t let him think that i have been murmuring, it i would make him so unhappy.” As she spoke she ran off, and Frank Reston crossed the hall to meet his stal- j wart brother-in-law, who looked the beau ideal of a country gentleman, and a strik- j ing contrast to the pale, careworn student, fresh from his gloomy chambers in town. “Ah. Frank, my dear boy, I am glad to see you. Why you pale, bleached book worm—here, come out in the open air, and let’s get some color in your cheeks. Come and have a look at the dogs. They went and had a look at the splen did setters and retrievers in their kennels, and as Reston admired them “Ah,” said Audas, "if mv first wife had been alive, how she would have idolized those dogs.” “Better have idolized you." said Res ton, bluntly. “Yes. of course.” said Audas, in no wise appeased. “We’ll have a grand ride or two while you are here. Come over to the stables. I’ve got a mare there that will suit yon to a T. There," he said, as he patted first one and then another satin skinned beauty, as it turned its head round with a rattle of the headstall for the ex pected bit of sweet carrot or cake, “they’re right, aren’t they? Ah, if my wife had been alire, she would have loved a tew gallops over some of the wolds.” “Humph! would she said Reston. “Yes, she was a splendid woman on horseback. Well, come in now and dress, and let’s goto dinner.” “Well, I shan’t be sorry to have it,” said the London guest; and with his brother-in-law’s hand affectionately rest-; A Sensation of relief fa sure to follow the use of Sarsaparilla, and thousand* thankfully acknowledge it* good effects.

I have derived great benefit from Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.” It has Saved and restored thousands. Walter Barry, 7 Hollis st.. Boston, Mass., after vainly try ing a number of medicines, for the cure of lumbago, was persuaded to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla. He writes: “Your valuable medicine not only relieved me, but I be lieve it has worked a perfect cure, although my complaint was apparently chronic.” Thus. Dalby, Watertown, .ba-s.. has long been a sufferer from lumbago and rheu matism. So great has been bis improve ment since using In Court one who needs help Is Indeed fortunate who tods a friend. But he Is still more fortunate who discovers that he may eradicate the polsous of scrofula from his system by the use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Scrofula is one of the most terrible of all diseases. It is in the b'.ood. corrupting and contaminating every tissue and fiber in the whole body. Patrick Wholesale Grocer. Lowell, Mass, says; Ayer’s Sarsaparilla Is the best The following, from B L King. Richmond, Va, is corroborated by Purcell, Ladd A t'o druggists, of that city Mr K writes (May 12, 1884): "My son Thomas, aged 12, has suffered horribly, for three years, with scrofula, in its worst form His case was said to be incurab.e. t nv arm was useless; his right leg was paralyzed; a large piece of bone bad cut through the skin at the shoulder-fade, and three large sores constantly discharged offensive mat ter. He began taking Ayer’s Sarsaparillm on the Oth of March, and, oh, what a change; indeed, a miracle. In a few weeks the sores began to heal; he gained strength, and could walk around the house. We persevered with the Sarsa parilla, yet having little hope of his re covery. To-duy he can run as far as any oilier boy of his age. The sores on his :;rm, shoulder, and back, have nearly healed, his muscles are strengthening, and lie is the picture of health.” Equally important facts concerning the use of Ayer’s Sar Ayer’s Sar saparilla sapaiilla that he has every reason to be lieve it will effect a permanent cure. by other members of Mr. King’s family, are contained in the same letter.

But somehow that was not so pleasant a meal as it might have been, and the acute barrister was not long in finding that the grit that showed itself in the cooking, the acidity in the wine, and the jar in the conversation was all due to one thing, which found voice in the words, “Ah if my first wife,” etc. “Jack loves her.” said Frank Reston to himself, as he lay in bed that night, “she worships him, and they are not happy.
