Tbe ('bingo Tribune Opposed to New York as the Burial Place, Mt. McGregor, July 28. Gen. Giant will be buried in Riverside Park, New York. Tn*uay broke bright and on the Mount pas sea without event until 10 o’clock, when the train arrived at the summit. Col. Kred Grant w as one of the passengers upon it. lie proceeded at once and aloue. upon his arrival, to the cottage, his brother Jesse hav ing remained behind The Colonel repaired to his mother's apartment, where the tamiiy gathered to hear the result of the Colonel’s trip to the conference m New York lie de tailed his movement', and explained the rea sons for a choice oi spot in some other than Central Park. Riverside Park had at the time u! Gen Grant’s d* aih been suggested a> the spot of interment, and it seemed best to Cot. Grant, seeing and hearing ail, to change tne place o! sepulture to Riverside Park. The matter having been thus presented to the trnuiy, a conclusion w as reached, in accord ance with the Colonel's suggestion, and he at once dictated the following: Mt. McGregor. July 28. \Y. R Grace: Mother takes Riverside. Temporary tomb had heller be at same piac'e-. F 1). Grant. Mt. .McGregor, July 28. To Gen. A. McTeeiy, Washington Mother, today, has accepted Riverside Park She w ishes me to thana you lor the tender of the Soldiers' Home. F. 1). Grant. Upon the same train that brought Col. Grant up the mount, came the same company of regular troops (hat had been expected since yesterday. They brought tlieir tents and all eauip accompaniments and w ore the um torm of the regular army. There were 38 men in all. 1 lie detail is made from Co. E of the l»th Infantry, located at Fort Porter on the Niagara river The spot w here a halt was made is about forty rods south of the cottage, and here where the tents have been pitched ami about the cottage where the dead commander lies, is now a scene of bivouac aud camp life, with veterans and regulars side by side. It is learned this morning that six or seven hundred troops will be here, or have been or dered to Saratoga to meet the remains ot Gen. Grant on their srnval there from the Mount on 1 uesday next. It was the original intention ot Gen. Hancock to have sent these men to the Mount, hut when he learned of the limited laciiities tor moving troops on the mountain he changed Ins purpose and w ill send them as stated to Saratoga to receive the remains their, aud do duty during trans fer. It is net unlikely that the Seventh Regiment of New York w ill be chosen and detailed to do the duty. Instead, also of or dering the battery of artillety to the Mount, they will be stationed at Saratoga, where proper salutes w ill be tired during the trans fer ot the body from the mountain tram to the funeral train on the tracks ot the Dela ware Hudson Canal Company’s road. The intention of earn ing the private car of Mr. Vanderbilt has been changed and the funeral car “Woodlavni” has been substi tuted for Vanderbilt's car. The car besides carrying the remains will furnish accommo dations for forty persons. Otherwise the tram will he made up as previously stated. The cars ot the tuneral train w ill be draped entirely in hack, replying tor imposing effect on mass of color. No white will he used and the company promise a spectacle that will be more imposing and impressive than has ever been known on such an occasion. Gen. Hannock and statf now propose to be present here on Monday. Before the funeral services on the day of the removal of the body to Al bany. the Delaware Hudson Central will send ahead of the funeral train, at short in tervals, four passenger trains of fourteen cars each, to take up the Grand Army men and others who w ill be desirous on that day of going into Albany to view the remains as they lie in state Mrs Sartoris saw her father's face this morning, and though her eyes were suffused with tears, she smiled w ith pleasure to see him look so wi ll. Ulysses Grant, Jr., and two young ladies, wives of himself and his brother, Colonel, also saw the body and ex pressed their deep satisfaction. Mrs. Grant could not find courage to look upon her hus band in the gloomy shadow under the funeral canopy. When assured by her children that “father looked better than he had done for a long time,'' she turned away her head anu said shudderingiy. “I cannot. I cannot.” She will probably soon leave for New York. On account of her nervous system the self-enforced confinement to the cottage has told upon her health, and so long as she lingers near the dead, her mind must neces sarily revive to all the vicissitudes that they two have passed through together. She can but review the past, Irom the bright d*\s wnen Capt. Grant came to St. Louis with her brother, ms warmest friend ami comrade, and w uoed and son her, the belle of the city. He was the youngest captain in the American army, and had gained universal praise for his calm courage and military aptitude, and when he came to St. Louis was a bright, particular star. 1 he morning mail fur Mt. McGregor ar rives at 11.+0 each day. Today the pouch was larger than ever, and fuller than usual. It is the desire of Col. Grant that the public should know that his mail has grown to such proportions that much of it will not be opened until alter these busy days have passed anJ the final obsequies taken place. rtie detail of regulars that arrived this morning report from Fort Niagara, about 30 miles from Buffalo,instead of from Fort Por ter as has been previously announced. In order that the cottage might more preserve its seclusion the regulars have changed their camp ground and this afternoon a row of white tents are pitched beneath the trees near the eastern iookoat. The men were marched up to the hotel to iunch and their military bearing as they passed the hatel I front was a circumstance of interest to many on the verandas. Dr. Newman is still busied with his discourse and at one today emerged for the first time from his room at the hotel where from five tbit morning he was engaged with his manuscript. Dr. Newman makes a 1 suggestion that above or about the tomb of i Gen. Grant shall be erected a temple struc-1 ture, on which shall be placed for the epes of the nation ami world all the mementos ard relics of the old hero. The clergyman urges that any commemorative architecture at the tomb shall be of utility, for as he suggests **wa« not Gen. Grant of all other men a utile man?” The doct r feels that Riverside Park is a lovely spot for burial, but expresses that feeling only incidentiaily. Mrs. Grant, todav. has passed the time as usual in the upper room* of the cottage. Dr. Douglass says the widow is depressed in spirit, but phisicallv as well a* usual and not by any means a subject lor a physician's pro fessional care. It is understood lure today that 200.000 member* ot the Grand Aroiv of the Republic have placed themselves at the disposal ot Gen. Hancock, with urgent re quest that they may appear in a body on the occasion of the final obsequies in New York City. This afternoon came the first elaborate floral piece. It was in the form of a pillow of immortelles and was five feet long and three feet wide. Washington, July 28 Gen. J. B. dark, clerk of the House of Representatives, has designated the follow ing named committee to represent that body at the funeral of Gen. Grant: Carlisle ol Kentucky, Randall of Pennsylvania. Morris son of Illinois, Tucker of Virginia, Single ton of Mississippi, lliscock of New York. Reed of Maine, Browne of Indiana. Butter worth of Ohio. These gentlemen w ill be re quested by mail to meet in New York city on the seventh of August at some hotel not determined upon. New York, July 28. In the letter that Mayor Grace sent to Col. Grant suggesting Riverside Park as the best place for the General's tomb was the foliow poaits in favor ot that site Because of it* peculiar beauty of place, its location on the river and in the tact that a monument in it would he visible far and wide. It would give a distinct characteristic to the quiet and neautitul park and such a monument a* would probably be erected there would vie in beauty and fitness of location with the famous statue of Germania on the Rhine. File entire park would become,perculiarly in the sense that Central Park never can. sacred to the memory of your father. The park i* so young that the character of its develope ment would be largely determined and it* whole future dominated by this fact. The monument would he visible from two states and tor miles both up and down the Hudson river and would not only borrow from, but lend beauty to the noble stream ami at no time could your father's remains be regarded as lying remote from nature. Philadelphia, .July 28. At a meeting of the Fairmount Art Asso ciation, today, resolutions were adopted for the creation of a fund to be called the Grant Memorial Fund, for the erection in Fair mount Park ot a suitable memorial statue of Gen. Grant. Subscriptions of any amount large or small will be invited with a view to make the Grant memorial a proper tribute ot all the people ot Pennsylvania. The Art As sociation will contribute whatever may be neaded to complete the fund not exceeding $10,000. Chicago, July 28. From the opening of the controversy the papers have opposed New York as the final resting place of the remains of Gen. Grant In an editorial on the subject the Tribune to morrow morning w ill say It now seems to be definitely settled that the remains of (»en. Grant, in di*n gard of the eternal fitness of things, are to he buried at Riverside Park, which is merely an extension of Central Park. It is no use to mince matters in this connection. New York has always been a plague spot on body politics. It i* the most un-American amt un-National |city in the United States. During the revolution it was the hot-bed of toryism. It w as never out spoken in its protests against English in justice and despotism. The lapse of a cen tury has made little change in their senti ments. Its so called “heat society” is com posed of flunkies and toadies, whose principal object in life is to ape English swells. There is not enough Americanism in all New York society life so far as known to make one man of the robust and native quality which char acterizes (»en. Gr nt. What is not bastard English in its popula tion is an alien sedement, deposited there and left by a better class of foreign emigrants who seek homes in the west. It is the dump ing ground for everything un-American, and it should be remembered that while Gen. Grant was in the field fighting like Hercules to save the Union, New York City was very full of copperheadism, that is, disloyalty and secession, and when he retired from public life and went there to live, its Wall street sharpers traded upon his name am) influence, and fleeced him and every member of his family and all his relatives out of all they had. What claim has New York City for the high and priceless honor of receiving and guard ing the remains of an old Union hero? When the time of the immediate grief has passed, condemnation will he more outspoken than it is now. Then the general judgment will be that the selection of New York City as the burial place was an undeserved concession of honor upon a eitv which had never been his friend and had no claim upon him. New York. July 28. Gen. Hancock has been busy all day ar ranging plans for the funeral. Generals Sherman, Shaler and Aspinwall and many others come to him to offer suggestion. Ap plications for places in line continue to pour in from all parts of the country. General Hancock announced this evening that the ar rangements had been decided upon. The 4th artillery ot Ft. Adams, under command of Major Adams,w ill fire a salute at Mt Mc Tregor. and Major Randolph, commanding "»th artillery at Fort Hamilton, will fire the burial «a!ute on the day of the funeral. Gen Hancock and staff, accompanied hv General Sheridan, will proceed t" Mt. McGregor on the r ight of Aug. 2nd. The remains will he conveyed by train, consisting of one car for the family, one for the remains, two for the escort, which will number not more than 00 men. one for the clergy and pall bearers, one for General Hancock ami staff, and one for the press. The first stop will he made at Saratoga and the second at Albany. At the latter place, Adjt. Gen. Farnsw >rth will assume charge of removing the remains to the capitol,where Gov. Hill assumes control f om Albany to this city. The remains will be in the care Gen. Hancock. Having arrived here, the first division N. G. S N. Y. will escort the body to City Hall. Here a guard will be placed until the day ot the funeral. A national monument. Letter ol Ex-Pie.ident Ilaye* in Gen. Burdette in Regard to the Monument to Gen. Grant. Cleveland. O.. Jo It 28. Ex-Pre»ident Have* ha* addre**ed the fol lowing letter to Gen. 8. S. Burdette, Com mander-in-Chief of the G. A. R. Fkemomt, O July 28, 1883. Dear Sir: Your ietler addreaaed to me through the public preaa on the jubject of a national monument to Gen. Grant ia before me. I am confident that there ia a aenti ment in the country which will lead to a united effort by all descriptions of people, citizens and soldiers alike, for the erection of a national monument to Gen. Grant. To this end action should be taken while the feeling is fresh and strong. Posts ot the G. A K. are organized in all parts of the country and can at once enter upon the work of raising funds. It has been suggested that each post appoint a committee who will un dertake to collect from soldiers and citizens an amount equal to one dollar for each mem ber of the post, and more it practicable. This with what can be raised m New York will be ample to build a monument worthy of the country, worthy of Gen. Grant and worthy of the cause of which he was the great leader. In regard to your proposition that the G. A. K. erect a statue for the capitol at Wash ington. .that also will be altogether titling and proper. Let us not however withhold from the great national monument ot New York the aid which the G. A. R. Post can so easily and effectively give. Two Posts ot the G. A. R. in Fremont have already raised more than the sum indicated and placed it on deposit in a bank to be transmitted to the proper committee in New York. With promptness and unity of action a national monument can be built by the people without resort to the government Sincerely, (Signed) R. B. Hayes. POSTMASTER JONES To be Investigated lor Violating the ('ivil Service Rules. Indianapolis, Ind., July 28. A short time since the executive committee of the independent party preferred charges against Postmaster Jones of this city, in which he was charged with violating the letter and spirit of I lie* civil service law, in making removals and appointments.

Commissioner Thorman and Chief Exami ner Lynch ot the civil service commission, who are to investigate the charges made against the postmaster here, have requested Postmaster Jones as a preliminary step to the investigation to prepare answers to the charges made hy the independents. An an swer will at once he prepared. The proceed ings are denounced by the democrats. Messrs.

Thousands ot quarts of fine black berries were wholesaled last week as low as 1 cents. Raspberries brought 3 cents. Many bovs who are examined for "ap prentices'’ in the navy are rejected as lia ble to heart diseases. This, the medical nu n say, is due to cigarette smoking.— Lowell Courier. The Cunard steamship Ktruria arrived early Sunday morning after a very quick passage front Queenstown. Her correct ed time was six days, 14 (tours anil 1 min ute, and is within about 4 hours of the best time of the famous steamship Ore gon. New York tailors complain that the Hritish customers who are introduced to them by American friends go away in the great maj irity of instances without paying their bills. The tailors do not care to re fuse their orders, lest the American intro dueers should be offended; so they pro crastinate and are languid, and manage not to make the clothes fit, and so often save their goods. An illustration of the binding power of governmental red tape is found in the fact that the flag at the Brooklyn navy yard has remained at the mast head since Gen. Grant’s death. No notice of his death; having been given by the secretary of the navy, Commander Chandler, of course did not oj/ii itillt/ know that the General i was dead, and so did not feel at liberty to j lower the llag to half mast. We, find the following very pertinent suggestion in the N Y. Tribune: "We observe that while the tendency among husbands to kill their wives and then at tempt suicide is on the increase, the wife ki1 ling is generally more successful than the subsequent operation. It is a pity that any man who contemplates this kind of double slaughter should lie balked in his endeavor to put himself out of the way. and therefore it may be suggested, as an amendment to the prevailing custom, that the suicide part of the business should lie attended to first." K W Davis, how oar of the Bowdoin crew at the Worcester race, has been awarded the Goodwin prize at Bowdoin, for the best written commencement part, and also the first prize lor extemporaneous composition. As this is an exception to the general rule it is well enough to note the rule in question. It is a very remark able thing for a man to be able to attend to the athletic side of a college course and the mental ami intellectual side also, and to achieve excellence in both. The usual result of such an attempt would he excel lence in neither.—Rridgcport (Conn.) Standard. The ranchmen who must get out of the (’hevenne and Arapahoe Reservation, and who sav that they cannot find a place for their cattle in the adjoining State of Tex as. do net seem to be well informed about grazing lands in that State. Two weeks ago the Slate Band Board of Texas leased 1.2A0.000 acres in the Pun Handle to ranchmen, the greater part of it for six cents an acre, and there are said to he 2 B 000.000 acres of school lands still in the market, to be leased at a minimum annual rent of six cents an acre, and for a maxi mum term of six years. There is a differ ence. it is true, between six cents and two cents, but neither rate is exorbitant. It was a great disappointment to the whiskey ring when it failed to secure the appointment of its agent and attornev as commissioner of internal revenue; but the ring is fertile in expedients, and though Congress has twice refused to extend the bonded period on whiskey, the payment of the tax has been delayed, and the ring are now hoping for still further delay. Ex-Congressman Phil Thompson is now urging that Assistant-Secretary Fairchild refer a question to the attorney-general, by which he hopes to avoid the tax altogether. By the decision of Attorney-General Brews ter a period ot seven months was given the owners of whiskey to get it to the sea coast for export, which virtually extended the bonded period to forty three months. Their plan now is to get this seven months extended to twenty-five, and be fore the expiration of this time they trust that some method ttiav be devised by which it may be evaded altogether. A succession of large and small wheels in side of a street car is the visible portion of the invention of a San Francisco man who admires the cable roads, but wants to do away with the destructive grip. The system is said to be a success and to secure the same speed as the old plan with the expenditure of one third the power. Facts About the Memoirs. The Contract and Mrs Grant’s Prospec tive Revence. “The death of General Grant has caused the publication in various newspapers of er roneous statements referring to the contract entered into by General Grant and myself,” said Charles L Webber a day or two ago. ■One of those statements, and one which is unjust both to the widow of General Grant and to our firm, was printed in the world It wag to the effect that this firm had paid Gen I eral Grant 840,000 for bis work and that the I long sickness which he had undergone had necessitated expending that money, leaving his widow without any means of support. The only money that this firm has paid to General Grant was a check for 81,000 to bind the contract made with him. We have the check in our possession, indorsed on the j hack by him “When the General first began bis work I 1 called upon him bearing a letter of introduc I tion from Mr Clemens Mark Twain) On stating my business to the General he in formed me that he feared it was too late. I then offered him $50,000 in cash for his work, and after 100 000 copies had been sold, he was to receive 50 per cent of the profits on the sale of the book This offer was refused, and another offer was made to him, the sabstanee of which is as follows: General Grant was to write for us his person al experience and memoirs of the late war. and we were to print the book and bear all the expense of placing it before the public. In return for his writings General Grant was to receive 75 per cent of the profits on the sales in this country an t 85 per cent on all sales in foreign countries. This continues as long as the book is sold and will be an inher itance in the Grant family forever Attached to the contract with General Grant is another one in which the General makes over all of his interest to his wife at his death, and un derneath that contract i» one signed by us in which we agree to follow out the wishes of th General. The revenue to Mrs. Grant, from the sale of her husband's hook, will not be lower than $‘550,000 per year and mai reach as high as 8500,000 From all sec tions of lliis country over 5,000 agents are piling order after order upon us, and as the interest which General Gram's sickness has created is widespread and the firmness and resolution which he manifested in ills book is known throughout the entire world, the in come from the book alone will be sufficient to place Mrs. Grant in a position beyond any financial want. The last act of Grant’s life shows how msgnanimuus he was. We wrote him a letter asking his advice in an attempt that we intended to make to prosecute the persons who are strewing broadcast over the country books which are purported to have been written bv him. He merely wrote that the public would accept the t'ue state of af fairs if informed. As a writer and dictator General Grant lias few equals. His gram matical errors are few, aril if you will look over his manuscript, whole pages of matter which he dictated will be found without a single alteration or interlineation.” New Orleans’s New' Exposition. New Oki.kanh, .July 20.—Relative to the I rogrea* being made by the North, Central, and South American Exposition President MeConnico very encouragingly say9 “The past week’s progress has been most satisfac tory System has been introduced into the vari"U* departments, printing and advertising matter has been prepared ami is being rapid ly distributed to all pares of the world.

Modjeska is said to be at work upon a Polish translation of Shakespeare, to which a tie will devote several years. People who claim to know them both say that the physical resemblance between John K. McLean of Cincinnati and Lord Randolph Churchill is very striking. Mr. Howe, the writer of “A Country Town,” savs that he never attended school after he was 7 years of age. and has never read some of the principal writers. He likes the p'ays of Shakespeare, but detests poetry. Ned Runtime (Col. E. Z. C. Judson) is said to have averaged $20,000 a year for the last 10 years by the sale of his blood and thunder” stories.

Severe starvation and other devices are resorted to by the peasants to re duce themselves to avoid conscription, and in one district ot Bashkirs, where 150 men out of 500 were disqualified on this account, it was found several months afterward that they measured even more than necessary. Fifteen years ago a stage coach coming out of Blackfoot, Idaho, was robbed of 500 pounds of gold dost. The robbers were ar rested and sent to the Deer Lodge Peniten tiary, but they had succeeded in burying the gold, and no one has since been able to find it. Their sentences will expire in a few weeks, and the inhabitants of the town are •aid to be watching the prison doors careful ly to follow them to the treasure when they get out. A Connecticut captain, who discovered this summer how much money there is in the business, has been cruising off Rockaway Beach every day for porpoises. The average value of each fish is about $25.

His hand was badly swollen Mr. John West, chief of police at Minne apolis, is making diligent inquiry to find the owner of a package containing over $3000 in money, found in the waiting room of the Union depot in that city on the 2d of Jan uary last, without marks which would lead to the identification of the rightful owner. The singular part of the story is that no person has ever made anv inquiries regarding the package This money wa* found by a Port land man, and is still in his possession await ing an owner.

Eastport boatmen and the owners of the weirs are considerably excited over the new methods used bv the Canadian boatmen to avoid the payment of duties on herring.

A Bag for Everything and Every Place There is as great a variety in bags as in the human family they serve, and they run a similar scale, from the daintv creations in silks, velvets and brocades which adorn the show places, to the strong, servicea ble, but not handsome ones that make known their worth in the obscure corners. It is with bags like a good many other things—the more one has the more one wants One or two are an aggravation, but it the supply is limited only by the de mand. the comfort to be derived from them can only be realized by experience. Bags which are not intended for hard service may be made so ornamental that they form part of the deception of the room. In this way may be preserved scraps of old time brocades and satins which have done duty as wedding gowns and on other festive occasions. The pret ty holders will have an added charm from the associations connected wilh the mate rial from which they have been fashioned.

Continued from yesterday.) Bat on the other hand, he was capable, j readv and perfectly at home everywhere. He spoke four langnagesflaently.be knew all the galleries and museums, and was an excellent guide. But few men of his class can withstand the temptation of being unduly trusted and deferred toby a simple-hearted Araer l ican family, who have no idea of distinc- j tions of rank, or the barriers which Euro pean habits create between master and servant, barriers which may be crossed by any amount ot kindness and courtesy, even friendliness.but never by familiarity, or the manner which does away with in equality of station. Thi3 is rather a long explanation, but it seems worth while to make it, because the position of domestics is so widely dif ferent in America and Europe. It is hard for an American who has seen his coaeh I man or errand-boy rise to be a railroad i king or a leading politician, to realise that in Europe sueb a rise is almost impossi ble. Still harder is it tor him to find out that an air of deprecating politeness addressed j I to these worthies excites rather their con tempt than their gratitude. Many a good i courier has been spoiled,tempted to cheat, i allowed to take impertinent liberties by the mistaken indulgence ot an American i employer.and has needed a series of sharp lessons from his subsequent patrons to re store him again to usefulness. It was not till the Crosby family had crossed the Channel that this process of deterioration began with Guiseppe. By that time he had taken the measure of his employers, and had found out that he could do pretty much as he liked with them. Mr. Crosby, a shrewd business man on his own familiar ground at home, was suffering from overworked nerves, and desired of all things to be saved trouble and worry. Guiseppe purposely made out all h:s accounts in French. His writ ing was of that foreign perpendicular de scription which is so hard to read. It was a great deal easier to look at the sura total and pay it. than to analyze the de tails, and Mr. Crosby usually did the for mer. Expenses gradually increased, but none of the party knew what expenses should' be, but though .Mr. Crosby scolded some times over the cost of the journey, neither he nor anyone else guessed at the steady system of peculation which was going on or that they were paying half as much again for everything as other travellers did. Guiseppe did more than, defraud the Crosbys Gradually he became their ty rant Emboldened bv impunity, he dropped the respectful manner which had been so pleasant, and assumed a tone of lazy authority. All the time the family were in Switzer land this grew worse and worse. He took the best things and left them the second best. Mrs. Crosby carried her own shawl and bag now. She did not quite dare to ask her lordly attendant to relieve her of them. It became so marked that the people they met wondered at and pitied them. He made them always travel first class and went first class himself; it was the only thing to do, he said. If there was but one seat in a gallery or church, he would often appropriate it, and rest himself com fortably, while his employers stood wear ily and patiently by, unconscious of the "nods and becks and wreathed smiles” with which the travelling public behind their backs regarded them. France and Madge still adored him. but Nelly began to feed the stings of insubor dination within her soul, though she was still too much afraid of Guiseppe to give her feelings voice. “Well, I never would stand that!" de clared Mattie Allen, a pretty American girl whom they had met on Lake Como, when she heard Guiseppe ordering France Crosby to return a piece of silk which she had bought at the shop in Bellajio, and to get another of a different color. “What business has that man to interfere with your sister’s dress. I should like to know?” “Oh, please don’t speak so loud he’ll hear you,” replied Nelly, to whom she said this. “He's our courier, you know.” •But that makes it all the more unpleas ant,” persisted Mattie. Mattie Allen was one of five girls, who were “seeing Europe” under the care of their school-teacher. Miss Wise. The Crosbys had seats next to them at the table, and the girls had grown intimate in a few days acquaintance, as girls can and do. Nelly glanced apprehensively at Gui seppe. and was relieved to find that he did not seem to have heard what Mattie said. She put lier arm round Mattie’s waist, and drew her to the farther end ot the long balcony. They were quite out of hearing now, but she still hushed her voice to a whisper, and kept looking apprehen sively over her shoulder. “Ilis feelings are so easily hurt,” she said, “and when he’s put out he's so cross sometimes, we can’t make him do a thing.” “Make—him—do—a—thing cried Mattie, indignantly. "Why, Nelly Cros by, I never heard such talk. He is your servant, isn't he “1 think it’s rather the other way,” con fessed Nelly, encouraged by Mattie's bold ness, "and that we are his servants. He used to be so nice and so attentive, and now he never lilts a finger unless pa tells him to. and we have to do just what he says in everything. ‘•Ma’s afraid of him. and so is Aunt Se lina. and pa doesn't seem to notice, and France and Madge are completely under his influence. Oh dear, you can't think how I've envied you girls since we came here. You seem to have so much better times than we do. I wanted dreadfully to go to I,eeoe yesterday when you went, but Guiseppe made such a fuss about be ing late to table d'hote that we had to give it up." •■.Mademoiselle," said a voice at her el bow. Nelly started guiltily. "It is now the time to go out in the row boat. The other ladies have gone to equip themselves. Will mademoiselle come too?" "O Guisepjw, I don’t want to go out now,” protested Nelly. "It’s dreadfully hot, and the sun glares so on the water. I want to go at sunset, and see the color on the mountains." "No. mademoiselle,” replied the relent less Guiseppe. "This is the time. At sunset I shall be at my dinner." “Well, we don't want you a bit. \Ve can go without vou for once,” pleaded Nelly. “Oh no, mademoiselle, that is not to be thought of. It would never do for you young ladies to be on the water without protection. Mademoiselle must come now.” (Tc be continued.) Important facts: That the greatest evils have often had their rise from causes vrhieh 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 H. Stoddard. 59 Rock st.. Lowell, Mass., says: “For years my blood has been in a bad condition. The circulation was so feeble that I suffered greatly from numbness of the feet and legs; 1 was al-o afflicted with boils. After taking three bottles of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla my blood circulates freely, and I have no boils or numbness.” Like an t Electric shock, the pains of Rheumatism dart through the body. Rheumatism is a blood disease, and needs au alterative treatment. Charles Foster, 3T0 Atlantic ave., Boston, Mass., says: Two years ago I was pros trated by Rheumatism. 1 tried a variety of remedies, with little benefit, until I began usiug Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. This helped me, and. at the end of the fifth bottle, I was entirely cured.” Miss A. Atwood. H3 I st., South Boston, Mass., says: I have been ill a long time, from poverty of the blood and abscesses. Ayer’s Sar saparilla has had the effect of toning me up.* Under its use l am fast gaining color, appetite, and strength." Discoveries are made by scientists, from time to time, which astonish the world, but there has been no discovery, in science or medicine, more impoi tant than that of Ayer’s Com pound Extract of Sarsaparilla, which has restored health and strength to thousands. Benj. F. Tucker, Pensacola, Fla., writes: j Ayer's Sarsaparilla cured me of Liver and Bilious troubles, when everything else failed." The usefulness of the Telephone i is enhanced by the fact that it eau be used to order Ayer's Sarsaparilla from your druggist. Dr. John Iloffman, Morrisauia. N. Y., writes: “In all diseases arising from an impure and vitiated condition of the blood, there is no relief so prompt and sure as that afforded by Ayer's Sarsapa rilla.” Dr. A. B. Roberson, Chapel Hill, X. C.. writes: “I wish to express my appreciation of Acer's Sarsaparilla. I 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 has brought happiness to the homes of rich and |>oor 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 tva*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. Lise Ayer’s s>ar saparilla.
