BLACKINCTON &.CREELY, Prop s. *'“ .HEN. General Armstrong and Others Discuss the Indian Qne*tiou. Newport, R. I July 22. There was an immense gathering ot fash ionabl people as well as the regular resi dents at the Ca«ino Theatre today to hear General Armstrong and others discuss the great Indian question, undt the afternoon bnda a passage through the blind*, and so the sick man sits and waits. l)r Douglas lias just reported that his pa tient has taken and retained a cup of milk, and the physician thinks that it lliert* has not been asi.ght rally in (he last half hour the General is at h ast holding his own. Thi* nn uing the (le ieral w as leaning hack in hi* chair. On hi* head was the skull cap that at all times lends a startling effect to the sick man’s appearance, and ir«»ni beneath it stragg ed the hair that hung in sweat mois tened lm ks about his emaciated neck. A crimson scarf had been thrown over the back of the General’s chair, hut as he leaned for ward it drew across Ins shoulders, one end being gathered under bis arm. A d rk dress mg gown cover, d the General’s attenuated form and a handkerchief encircled his neck. 1 he gray of the close cut heard seemed white and the lines on his cheeks and forehead were deep and when his face was turned up ward to speak his eyes seemed grayer and abnormally large. They wore clear and steady, showing that the General** reason wa* clearly at his command, but there was that w isttul and yearning expression in them that make women weep ami men sympathetic. The General's face a* he spoke seemed strained and drawn, but its color and tullnes* were not such as would be expected after such suffering. 1 he lips moved heavily and the whisper was husky and low, but the nurse understood and a pad and pencil were brought. Then while the light of the candle fell on his down cast face he wrote but only briefly. The slip was handed to Dr. Douglass who at once turned it over to Col Grant, who had arisen and stood beside his mother at the General’s side. It was a private family communica-1 tion and when finished the General resumed 1 his reclining position w ith his head slightly inclined forward and his elbows on the sides j of his chair while the fingers of either hand were interlocked each with the other beneath his chin. The General lias taken stimulants, j but grows weaker hour by hour. Visitors j are kept from the cottage. The family are present, also Drs. Douglass and Newman. 3 20 1* M —Drs. Sands and Shradv have just arrived by a special train, which also brought U. S. Grant, Jr., and w ife. 4 1*. M —I he physicians met at once with Dr. Douglass in consultation, having left the cottage. It was stated that Drs Sands and Shrady had found Gen. Grant in the critical ly low condition already stated by Dr. Doug-1 lass and already announced in these dis patches. No one of the staff is willing to make any prediction beyond 24 hours, which period it is deemed impossible for the Gen eral to survive, though the possibilities now j indicated are that a less space of time marks the limit of the General’s life. A change for 1 the worse is anticipated as the day closes. His pulse is now over 100. 6.4o 1. M.—Gen. Grant is sinking The developement of the General's weak ne«s during the afternoon was not particu larly noticeable from hour to hour, but be tween three and six o’clock there was clearly, if not violently, marked an increase of weak ness. At three o’clock it was possible to measure the pulse heats, hut at six o'clock one of the physicians said that the pulse could not be counted. There w» re two rea sons existent for the inability of the doctor* to catch the pulse heats, they* were so tre qu* nt ar d so feeble. During the afternoon the blood tide had so quickened that it more rapidly wore the svstem and exhausted the frail ba*is. it anv existed, upon which might be placed hope that the G- neral might rally. The point was reached at six o’clock when there was little to be expected from attempt* to administer food. Soon after six Harrison came up from the cottage and told Dr*. Sands and Nhradr that I)r. Dougla«s desired to see them at the cottage. Thither went the doctor*, remaining but a short time and then coming again to the hotel. It is believtd the condition of the pati* nt wa* found to have been a* stated above and that while the tem perature was nearly if not quite normal the respirations were nearly thirty to the minute. The family, beginning at six o'clock.fleame to the hotel to dinner in twos, the others re maining at the cottage in the meantime The party dined in a private room set apart for their use at the hotel, in order that at this critical time they might be secluded from curious observation. The closed cottage had suggested mutely the enactment of the last scene in Gen. Grant’s earthly existence, and u^on the guests and visitors had settled the nearness 1 of death and there seemed a hash on the moun tain and with all those on it. As the sun went down a cool breeze sprung up and tfee laymen on the mount endeavored to persuaro themselves and others that the cool night, would bring renewed strength to the patient and help him rally through the night, but >mch wit Dot the opiniona of the doctors who were prepared to attend the death bed at a moment's notice or wait through the hours into the night more than they were prepared to hnd »be patient alive in the morning at seven. However, as the three physicians were at dinner. Harrison came to the hotel and called Dr. Douglass who went at once and alone to the cottage. Soon another messenger sum moned Drs Shrady and Sands and they went at once to the cottage, closely followed by Dr Newman. The exit of the doctors and clergvman from the hotel were so quietly affected that few knew that they had been summoned to the cottage. When they ar rived there they found the General evidently sinking The General seemed restless. “Would you like to lay down?" asked Col Fred Grant, who had noticed that his father was restless. The General nodded and at the same time essayed to rise unassisted, but the effort was too great and he sank back into his chair and the Colonel and the nurse aided him to arise and supported him to the bed where he was carefully lowered to a re clining position and parilyon his face. Dr. Douglass then rolled the chair back and one of the physicans remarked that the General has now left his chair for the last time. The belief that the General has at last lain down to die then became the conviction. The family all gathered at the side of the sick man and again Dr. Newman, at about the same hour as last night, and at the request of Mrs. Grant, knelt beside the General and prayed. Heads were bowed and tears were on the cheeks of men as well as women. The doctors stood somewhat apart and the family was near its fast sinking head and alter an hour death seems little less rapidly gaining on the man it has pursued just nine months today, tor it is just nine months today that Gen. Grant walked into Dr. Douglass’ office to seek Ins professional aid for the cancer that has done w hat foes and war could not. Then the doctors and clergyman strolled out on the piazza and sat near the parlor windows j and Jesse Grant joined them at times, but the other members of the family remained in the room and watched and wailed while the General answered “yes” and “no" to several questions. Time then passed slowly indeed, and at length at 8 15 Dr. Douglass left the cottage. “How is lie, doctor?” was asked him. “He is dving." said the gray-haired physician. “Will lie live an hour?” was asked again. “Oh, yes, and pos sibly more, but be is passing away,” was the response, and after a luth time at the hotel, Dr. Douglass returned to the cot tage. At 9 o’clock tin* General’s pulse was up to a point of 105 beats a minute anil was flut tering After his rally, about 9 o'clock, the G neral sank into a gentle slumber. This condition, however, is not one to command confidence, for the pulse beats still rapidly fluttering, and the respiration, which nor mally is 14 to the minute, is now 44. At 10.30, however, it was stated that the General was in slightly better condition than two hours ago. During the evening, the ex tremities of the sick man hall been cold ami the invisible symptoms are signs that nature puts out when d ath is chilling the powers The Genera!, as the night passes, seems to he suffering no pain, though the lines of his face are tensely drawn and the furrows of the brow are knitted, as he lies upon the cot, beside which the family are constantly w atch ing. At midnight. Gen. Grant remains quiet, though not asleep. The coining hour is an ticipated with great anxiety. At 11 o’clock, the General was not asleep. Ilis hands and forearms were colder than two hours before hut his feet were not so much so. The pulse and respiration had not changed, hut the patient’s mind w as yet clear and comprehensive of tlie Vents and utter ances about him. Between 10 and 11 o’clock, Dr. Shrady had accosted the General and he answered in a husky voice and promptly. Stimulants were being used, but sparingly, ami there was ex pressed hv medical authority, ah >ut 11 o’clock, the belief that the closing crisis may I occur either at 1 or 4 o’clock in the morning. At midnight bottles of hot water were i placed at the General's feet to induce warmth and mustard draughts were applied on the stomach and breast, to preserve the flagging circulation. Dr. Sands is resting at the hotel and Dr-. Douglass and Shradv are at the cottage with the patient and his family, i 1 A. M.—The General remains in the same quiet condition. His pulse and respiration arc unchanged and there is a feeling that he may tide over the midnight season of weak ness and until 4 A. M. Hypodermics of brandy are being used. Mt. McGrf.oor, July 23. The family is astir in the cottage, though there are no visible indications that point to a different condition than that at the time of the last bulletin. 3 A. M.—Gen. Grant is in a somnolent condition. The resperations have grown ahal low and the general is no longer able to ex pectorate because of weakness which is in creasing. There seems little possibility that the patient will survive the night. The respirations are 50. The pulse is so r*pi 1 as not to be counted and hypodermics which have been administered through the night have no longer any marked effect. The family are still astir. LOUIS If IK I..

Vila** View* of the Australian Meil Matter—A Delegation ol Veteran* Fall on the President—-Indian Affair*. Washington, July 22. Postmaster General Vila* today said (hat he had no intention of reconsidering his de cision against distributing the $400,000 ap propriated by Congress tor the transportation of mail in American steamships. In regard to the threatened termination of the Austra lian service by the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, at the expiration of the contract, which is next October, he said that while he was disposed to favor the American steatu ship lines where he could consistently, the department would have no trouble in for warding the Australian mails on the schedule as fast as that now in use, and moreover, the service would he more frequent and cheaper. At present, the Australian mails leave San Francisco once a month, and letters written just after the departure of a steamer lie in the postoffice nearly a month By the Suez service these letters could he sent at short intervals and would reach their destination in les* time than at present. A delegation of the Grand Army of the Republic called on the President today, by appointment and submitted the resolution passed at the recent Encampment at Portland in relation to the right* of veterans to he re tained and appointed to positions in the gov eminent service. Gen. Burdette presented the resolutions ami said that the veterans had implicit confidence in the President's action toward them, hut were desirous of securing expression from him relative to tlio action of his subordina cy President Cleveland re plied mat he w as in favor of the enforcement of the law The question of a man’s military service w as entered into| consideration of nearly every applicant for office and was given much weight. Ibis was especially true in appointments to post-offices. It must always be understood, the President con tinued. that a man thus recommended be Competent. President Cleveland said there were many instances where men had fine military records and were deserving hut they had not received the training that| would fit them for positions. These of course could not be appointed. After the Cabinet consultation and in ac cordance with the advice of (ten. Sheridan, the secretary of tin* interior has decided to turn over to the war department the com plete control of the Cheyenne ami Arapahoe reservation in the Indian Territory. English parliament. The ConaervHtive Policy Deprecated.— The l^anderdale Peerage Ease Nettled. London, July 22. Sir Charles Dilke, in a speech at (Chiswick, Tuesday, said he could not regret the preva* lence of democratic tory influence, hut de plored the manner in which Sir Stafford Northcote had been hustled from the leader ship of the Commons. There were two vices in the conservative party representing the Irish policy. He thought the conserva tives would be unable to face the results of j conceding local government. The liberal policy was to concede such measures as were consistent with the safety of the empire. In the House of Lords, Tuesday, the land purchase bill passed the committee stage without amendment. The secretary for Scot* land bill was read the third time. The House of Common* rejected by a vote of 220 to 22 an amendment by Mr. Courtney (liberal) in favor of withholding franchise from those accepting pauper medical aid. The Landerdaie peerage case lias been de cided by the House of Lords in favor of Major Maitland There were two claimant* to the peerage. Major Maitland and Sir James Maitland. Major Maitland contended that he was heir of the fourth son of the sixth earl of Landerdaie, who married Mary MacAdam in New York, in 1772. two days before his death. Mary MacAdam had borne three son* to this fourth son of the sixth earl. The petitioner held his marriage legitimatized the off«pring. .Sir James Mait land. descendent of the fifth son of the sixth earl of Landerdaie, contested the claim of Major Maitland. In the hearing before the House of Lord*, United State* Minister Phelps, Senator Edmunds and Meaar*. Fow ler, Stephen Nash and Clarance ('ary gave testimony concerning the laws of marriage in the American Colonies in 1772. Two Desperadoes shot.

The papers of Portland, Oregon, are quarrelling over the question which of them steals the most matter from other pai«Ts. The quarrel has developed the tact that they all use matter without credit whenever they get a chance. The great strawberry patch of Massa chusetts is in the eastern part of the State, in the towr of Dighton. The harvest this season has netted about half a million quarts, and has given employment to hun dreds of men, women and children. The Russian harvest prospects continue discouraging. The reaping ot the winter wheat in the Southern Provinces gives; barely a middling return. The present outlook is that the summer wheat creps will everywhere within the Empire yield poor harvests. A hearing was given recently by the trustees of the lioston City Hospital to a number of prominent homu-opaths who desire that their method of treatment shall be recognized in the hospital and ac-; corded to all those who mav desire it. Spirited speeches were made and letters favoring the admission of homieopathic physicians into the hospital were read from many prominent persons. Hawaiian* are becoming alarmed at the rapid change taking place in the popula tion of the islands. During the month ot June there arrived at Honolulu lit white persons,three Hawaiian* and 624 Asiatics ami there departed during the same time 302 whites and only 216 Asiatics, showing a total change in favor of the Chinese of 4t!7 persons. Hv the census of 1 sst there were IX,066 Chinese on the islands, which is known to have since increased II per cent, while during the past year the En glish speaking race has fallen oft about X per cent. Careful examination of the condition and acreage of growing wheat seems to show conclusively that the crop will not exceed 370,000.000 bushels. The estimate ol the Agricultural Itureau i* 3fi3.ottO.ooo bushels As a rule the estimates ot West ern grain statisticians fall below this. Some of these estimates have been affected by a desire to raise the price of wheat. Others represent the unprejudiced convic tions of those who made them. An esti mate of 370.*t00,00ot about so recklessly. The authorities of the little Republic went out gunning for an rx President some days ago. and not finding him. shot and killed instantly an Ameri can who innocently opened his door to see what was going on. He lived in Yonkers and his name was l’latt. The (iovern ment at Washington will doubtless inves tigate this affair to the bottom; but in view of the condition of our Navy it is to 1h> hoped that they will not feel obliged to teach the Santo Pominguans to be less reckless in using fire-arms.—.V. Trib unt. The attempt to prevent by inoculation the advance of cholera has proved ineffec. tual. l)r. Ferran was forbidden a fort night ago to practise his system in Madrid and directed to deposit in the municipal laboratory all the virus in his possession. This was an official condemnation of his vaunted method of treatment after it had been adopted in many towns with the con sent of the government. Ur. Ferran has been accused of making a fortune out of his discovery and with refusing to inocu late poor patients without charge. This he has indignantly denied, and he has an grily answered the charges preferred against him by Spanish physicians and by French scientists. The sickness and death of hundreds of patients whom he had in oculated have been an unanswerable de monstration of the uselessness of his re puted discovery. Since the 1st of January the number of scoundrels lynched in different parts of the country is 99, of whom 96 were males and 8 females. 58 white and 41 colored. As usual, the South takes more than three fourths of the lot, having 75 against 24 credited to the North. In detail the States are represented as follows: Alabama, 3; Arkansas. 1; Florida. 2; Georgia, 2; Iowa. 5: Kansas. 3; Kentucky. 3; Mary land, 1; Mississippi. 6; Missouri, 2; North Carolina, 2; Nebraska, 2; Ohio, 3; Oregon, 2; Tennessee, 7; Texas, 31 Virginia, 2; West Virginia, 2. In the Territories New Mexico, 5; Indian Ter ritory. 7 Dakota, 1; Montana, 3 j Wash ington, 1'. It may also be of interest to know that of these 99 departed citizens 44 were lynched for murder, 31 for horse and other stealing, 14 for rape, 3 for in cendiarism, 2 for train wrecking, 2 for murderous assault, 2 for unknown reasons and 1 for burglary. In considering tbe fact that so many places of worship are closed—particularly in cities—during the summer months, and the expedients resorted to by some minis ters who remain in town, to attract the people, the New York Times says it is doubtless "because they were supposed to be far more attractive than the old-fash ioned sort of Gospel sermon. From the fact that ministers preach about things other than the way of salvation we are justified in assuming that the public does not care about salvation in hot weather. People suffering from 90° of heat think more about Cony Island than heaven and when they are baking on earth, shcol and its promised heat have no terrors tor them. It mu*t be that the Gospel is a failure in hot weather. Ministers are supposed to know all about religion, and if they con fess bv their selection of topics on which to preach, that the Gospel is not attractive in summer, we must accept their opinion. And yet St. Paul preached in hot weather and in a climate far hotter than ours. There were saints who carried the Gospel into Africa as well as into Britain, and in later times St. Francis Xavier was as suc cessful in preaching Christianity to the people of India as were the French priests in preaching Christianity to the Indians of Canada. And Christ never asserted that the Gospel is designed only for cool weather.” Nine Acres to be Blown Up. The Only Remaining Obstruction at Hell Gate to be Removed in the Fall. Flo* d Rock reef, at Hell Gate, is soon to go the way of Halletl’s Point, which was .mashed all into smithereens ten years ago, when 50,(MX) pounds of dynamite was explo ded in mines that had been drilled through it. Rut the coining explosion is to be a much big ger affair than the last The section then explode 1 was only three and a half acres in extent, while tins time nine acres of rock are to be demolished and nearly three hundred thousand pounds of dvnamite—or, rather, •‘rockarock." a nnwer explosive—is to do the work. When this great mine has been touched off it is confidently hoped that Hell (}ate ill lose its terrors, except those that cling about the name. Work on Flood Rock was begun before the Hallett's Point ledge was exploded. It has been going on in a desultory way ever since, as the money was provided by Congress. At times a coupl** of hundred men have been employed, divided into three gangs. One great difficulty that has been experienced has been to keep the w ater out of the mine. Of lab* three steam pumps have been almost con stantly at work pumping out the accumulated drippings from the river above that have been brought in’o a large well. In all, 21 ,070 fed of galleries have been cut through the rock, and 115.700 holes, three inches in diameter and of an average length of nine feet have been bored through the roof. A compressed air drilling machine has had to be worked five hours in the boring ot each of these holes. Through the shaft on top 80.100 cubic yards of rock have been car ried up The levy of the shrift is titty feet b**low th level of the river. Kadiating from the bottom of the main shaft are the galleries, running from hundreds of feet under the ledge. The r*>ot of tie* large chamber at the shaft is fifteen or tweuty feet in height, while j the le igl.t ot the galleries varies from five to twelve feet. \1 »rg the shore of each gallery runs a railroad track used for carrying away the rock as the galleries are extended, j Through the roof in places the water comes so f'e* ly as to occasion anxiety in the minds of those in charge of the great work This is particularly the case with about an acre of galleries at the north end of the ledge. To guard against accident this part is about shut off from the larger excavation by a heavy gate It is suspected that by the end of this month the work of loading the mine will he begun. The explosive to he used consists of two in gredients which are entirely harmless when not brought together. They are. when com bined. to he packed in copper cylinders two and a half inches in diameter and two feet long, each holding about six pound* of the explosive. In addition to th 225.000 pound* of the “rackarotf,” about 75,000 pounds of No. 1 dynamite is to he used. The delicate operation ot packing the compound into the cylinders is to be p» rfornied by special ex perts. and other picked men are to ram home the cylinders after they have been made water tight by soldor. When the eylipders are all in and the exploding trains laid the mine will he flooded bv water, ready to he touched ofl The cost of the whole work, including that of carrying away the debris after the explo sion] will he about 81.0pying a »p-ciattv.

Tlu -tone foundation of the new addition t.f tlo* Court House having b *en finished, the arpentcrs are now erecting the woodwork The addition is t ir mistake we have meant to give the people on that division a little bet ter service than they had before. The in terests of the region traversed by the Eastern Division are of just as much concern to us as those of the country served by the Western Division, and money earned bv the consoli dated company on one is worth as much as on the other. For these reasons we have purposely refrained from tak ing oft certain trains which seem unnecessary, and from abandoning one of certain duplicate stations; that is to sav, the policy of economizing has not been pushed i to the utmost. The consequence is that whatever distrust existed has disappeared, and cordial relations have been established all round to the advantage of the community and the road.” With respect to the passenger service io the enlarged territory of the Bos ton and Maine it ma\- tie added that it was never so sutisfacr r’ i the days of competi tion as it i* now, n >r has there been any ret rogression in the lat! tmg of freight The earnings ot the united roads sin *e October 1st have not been equal to last year's, hut the best quarter of tin* \ear is the present one. and there is reason to expect that it will show a comparative gain. 4'lty PrrtotiNlu.

A countryman who was in Lewiston, re cently. inquired if a camera which he saw in the street was -‘one of them things that they call a bicycle." Fred Rock, of Auburn, lost a valuable $100 Jeraey cow in a queer way. lately. The cow became unhitched and wandered out of her yard into a potato field. She ate plenti fully of the green potato tops that had been liberally covered with P«rit green, and died in about two days. An Auburn lady, Mrs. L. A. Pray, found behind the frame of an ancient looking-glass not long ago, a thin, crumpled up packet, stained by lime to an almost deep black, shad ing into a mellow yellow. Opened, the pa per showed a bold front of headlines that identified it as a legal document of some kind. The first letter is a huge "S with a quirk an ineh long at the bottom. Tbe document is written in French and the opening word is "Sentence,” which is French as well as Kog list. It is dated July 19. 1619. and freely translated reads: "Sentence of July 19th, 1619, in case of the Procureur du Roi vs. Leonard du Cillv.awood merchant at Paris." Cillv appears to have soil wood on the beach at a less price than he should have done by agreement, and the pr isecution sentences him to a confiscation of wood, and also pun ishes one Bernault according to provisions of the eighth chapter of Parisian laws, for speaking badly of Cillv. The head ot the paper was torn awav, but was rolled up with in the other. This paper was written within less than ten years after the assassination of King Henry of Navarre, and during the reign of Louis XIII. of France, and nearly 175 years before the taking ot the Bastille. Cl’MBKULAND. A countryman went into Portland Monday with a team which he valued at $125. During the day he wandered around among the closed saloons and also drove around the city, in the meantime getting sadly intoxicated. When the man came to his senses he discovered that during his spree some one had unhitched his tine horse from his carriage, replacing it with one worth about $15. The worst ot all is, the countryman remembers nothing about his wanderings, and there is no clue to the parties who exchanged the horses.

Wet and flour" well the inside of pud ding bags. Wrao fruit jars with paper to keep out the light. Sugar should be browned in a dry pan for sauce. Figs are good boiled five minutes and served hot.

After paring fruit,drop it in cold water to prevent it changing color. A little sulphate of potassa added to preserves prevents fermentation. When sauce boils from the side ol the pan the flour or corn starch is done. (Haze the bottom crust of fruit pies with white of an egg and they will not be soggy.

For convenience in cleaning lamp chim neys, nothing is nicer than a small sponge attached to the end of a stick. Health in Travel. Arrange to start quietly after a plentiful meal. Take overshoes and waterproof in your handbag. This is important. Avoid railroad food by carrying chicken, beef.hard boiled eggs, bread, fruit and salt. Drink little or none of the railroad ice water. If obliged to eat at stations.choose simple food. Eat slowly. Better less food than much baste. Bread and fruit, or chocolate, make an excellent lunch. Attend to the daily functions, else travel will derange them. On warm davs, rule backward by an open win dow, thus avoiding cinders and draughts. Engage sunny rooms up two flights in ad vance. Unsunned rooms are unsafe. If the w eather be only chilly, still have a small fire. Avoid nearness to w ater closets. Be sure of dry bed linen and clean blankets. It is bet ter to use your shaw ls than to be exposed to dampness. Throw hac k the bed clothing two hours before retiring. See that your gas burner does not leak. Move bed steads away from windows. Old hotels are draughty. Ketire early. If wakeful, cat simple food. Start with warm feet. In winter provide them with a soapstone, fur shoes, or wrap them in a shaw l. Tarry a bottle cf paregoric and cardamon mixture, half each, for diar rh«ra. Wait twelve hours, then take one teaspoonful in hot water every two hours till better. Eat hot boiled milk, saited to ta«te, and crackers, also cracked ice freely. The safest place in a car is the centre opposite the side taken by passing trains. At night, if fatigued, drink a cup of tea, with a hit of bread, and rest 30 minutes before dining. A tired stomach cannot digest easily. Hence the frequency of diarrlora during travel For ocean trips take abundance of outer garments and flannel bedgowns. Walk the deck for exercise, else first days ashore w iil be fatiguing. But rest the first two davs at sea. Final days asln r»* are exhausting. If seasick, keep the deck; lie upon the hack near the centre of the ship; eat in spire of nausea. If vomiting follows, eat again at once. This is the only remedy. Drink hot beet tea with plenty of red pepper. Eat ship crackers, raw beef, finely choppt d.salted and (r»d) peppered.and mixed with bread crumbs. If n«*t seasick.control il e appetite or prepare tor dyspepsia.

A suppressed sigh was the only answer, and they both entered the house. When all was still. Junia crept back into her room and sat dr wn ;n the darkness to think. She had beard all. although the speakers, as if not unmindful o'f their boarder, had spoken so low that the tones could not have penetrated her room. She understood at last. A loving son strug gling witn his ambition, sacrificing his dearest hopes rather than leave a devoted mother or sell the poor old place so dear to her. Junia had wronged him in thought, but brave and noble be seemed as she realized that he had so completely hidden his trials under a cloak of apparent con tent, that she had never su-pected he had a desire to know or to be known outside of Sandy Cove A hundred dollars W hat a paltry sum to her who had never felt the need of money. She longed to place a thousand at his disposal. But she knew that this proud man would accept neither a gilt ncr a loan from her. and she must supply his need through some strategy. In due time her lawyer in the city re ceived the following letter: Sandy Cove.—Dear Sir: I desire to possess a certain tract of land near this village It is called Rocky Point.is owned bv Widow Ferris, to whom any one in the place can direct you. The land is com paratively worthless, but I will pay—I de sire to pay—$600 for the twenty acres. The location is fine, and I have thought of building a summer residence. You know 1 am a ‘poor school teacher,’ 1 can make no such purchases, but if you will prospect around here, hint at a summer residence and purchase Rocky Point, you shall be sufficiently renumerated and I will relieve you of your purchase in due time. I need not caution you to avoid all mention of my name, or, should we meet here, any recognition of Yours truly. Jcnia St. John. Later, a stranger visited the small town to buy iand. After wavering between Rocky Point and Tangle island till Norman was nearly distracted between hope atid fear, he suddenly grew enthusiastic over the Point as he and Norman stood watch ing the sunset light fade from the sky and sea. “Magnificent! The finest view along the coast. Mr. Ferris, what will you sell this lot tor “What will vou give me an acre?” “Well.” and the lawyer deliberately viewed his surroundings, "such a situa te n is really worth $50. but. I’d be wil ling to give you $80 cash down.” “Do you mean that, sir?,’ asked Nor man with suppressed eagerness. “Why, certainly; and if you agree to that priee. we’ll make out the papers to morrow. I’m in ahur-y to get back home. What do you say “If you are satisfied I certainly am," he replied, ns in a dream, and a few min utes later he was rushing over the cliff to his home. lie burst into the little parlor and seeing only his mother musing in the twilight, he caught her in his arms and cried out: mother, mother! I’ve sold Rocky Point for $600-” Hut his voice broke, lie sank down in a chair and covered his face with his shak ing hands. He had bravely (ought with trials, hut this unexpected deliverence completely unmanned him “Norman, mv hoy, I never thought you cared so much,” quavered the widow, with her hand on his bowed head. “It was everything to me!” came thril lingly, and Junia stole noiselessly from the room, her own eyes bill of happy tears. As the school year waned. Junia grew pale am) thin. Sne had worked hard and been most successful, but it had told upon her physical strength, and to the unani mous request tor her return to the schojl, this fact was the excuse for her refusal She was a general favorite in the village, and to the inmates of Clift's cottage she had grown very dear. It is said that opposite natures attract each other, but whatever the tempera ment. there is always a subtle sympathy between noble minds which tends to draw them together. This was the case with Norman Ferris and Junia. Each saw in the other intellectual and moral aflinites. a taste for like pursuits, the same yearning of soul to make life useful and exalted Circumstances may separate them, but such natures turn to each other as natur ally, as the magnetic needle turns to the north. Junta’s school closed with a grand pic nic, a joyous ocea-ion. but as the loved teacher was to leave Sandy Cove the fol lowing day it closed with saddened faces and tearful good-bves. It was evening, and in the moonlight Norman and Junta were taking their last row round the little bay The beauty of the night, and the thought of coming sep aration kept them silent till at length Nor man rested upon his oars and looking earnestly into the fair face before him. spoke in low tones •‘Have you any regrets at leaving us. Miss Junia?” ‘‘It could hardly be otherwise when my life here has been so pleasant. I should like to teach another year, but fear my strength will not permit.” ••You are right. You do not know how I have long to save you from this drudg ery. It is plain that you are not accustomed to labor, and it is ail the harder for you O. Junia, let me save you from toil and care. 1 have little to off r now, but mv prospects are flattering. I know 1 am not worthy of you. and so I have been silent all these months in which you have been constantly in my thoughts, but I love you Junia, and I cannot let you go away in ignorance of it. My life shall prove it if you vvill but stay with me.” He paused for her to speak. Her voice trembled a little. ••I have no near kindred in all the world, and in my loneliness your words seem very sweet to me, but I must tell you a seeret before more is said. I am not obliged to work. My father wished me to teaeh this one year, and I thought it best to assume the role of the de pendent teacher, not dreaming that the deception would prove a serious one. Believe me, 1 thank you sincerely for your wish to save me from care, and I feel honored by your preference.” "If I understand aright, you are an heiress in disguise questioned Norman, bitterly. “Some would so express it,” she re plied. Suddenly he inquired almost fiercely “Did you buy “Rocky Point?” She grew a trifle paler, but bound to be true, answered bravely: “Through my lawyer, yes.” His lace flushed hotly, his pride was wounded, and he spoke very coldly “The money has been of inestimable value to me, but I cannot thank you now, and furthermore, Miss St. John, I with Important facts: That the greatest evils have often had their rise from causes which were deemed, originally, of too little importance to occasion solicitude; and that fatal re sults proceed from the neglect of trivial ailments. Philip G. Raymond. Duluth, Minn., writes: Ayer's Sarsaparilla cured me of Kidney Complaint, from which I had suffered for years.** The transmission of a message over a Telegraph wire Is not a more positive proof of the electric current, than are pimples and boils of the contamination of the blood by im pure matter. Albert 11. Stoddard. 50 llock st., Lowell, Mass., says: “For years my blood has becu in a bad condition.

South Boston, Mass., says: I have been ill a long time, from povert) of the blood and abscesses. Discoveries are made by scientists, from time to time, which astonish the world, but there has been no discovery, in science or medicine, more impoitant than that of Ayer's Com pound Extract of Sarsaparilla, which has restored health and strength to thousands. Benj. F. Tueker, Pensacola. Fla., writes: Ayer’s Sarsaparilla cured me of Liver and Bilious troubles, when everything else failed." The usefulness of the Telephone is enhanced by the fact that it can be used to order Ayer's Sarsaparilla from your druggist. Dr. John Hoffman, Morrisauiu, X. Y., writes: “In all diseases arising from an impure and \itiated condition of the blood, there is no relief so prompt and sure as that afforded by Ayer's Sarsapa rilla.” Dr. A. IS. Koberson, Chapel Hill, X. C., writes: “I wish to express my appreciation of Aver's Sarsaparilla. 1 have used it in my practice, in Scrofulous cases, with excellent results.” Lighting up the faces, and relieving the sufferings of thousands, Ayer's Sarsaparilla lias brought happiness to the homes of rich and poor alike. Mrs. Joseph Perreault, Little Can ada, Harris Block, Lowell, Mass., is a widow; the only support of three children. Several months ago she was suffering from general debility, and was compelled to give up work. Medical attendance failed to do any good, but, by the use of a bottle of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, she has been enabled to resume her work, and is gaining strength daily.

She watched the rapidly near ing shore and knew that henceforth they two would walk in separate paths.
