The Fourth Day of the Kennebec Talley Campmeeting, [Special to the Kennebec Journal.] Dresdek, Aug. 21. The day haa been quite cooi, the ladies ap pearing with wraps and (he men with over coats on. A few people have gone awav, others have come, so the number is kept about even. Dr. Cullis of Boston, and son in-law, Mr. Mallory, came by the afternoon train. Several invalids have come on for the purpose of seeing the doctor- The day haa been very quiet. The noon altar service was a season of power. The sermon this forenoon was delivered bv Kev. Dr. Stephen Ailen of Augusta. Text, Luke xtv, 17 "Come, for all things are now ready.” If the gospel message could be condensed into a single sentence, none could more com prehend it than the words of the text. The words were doubtless addressed to a class such as would be presumed would hear the mes sage. As a message it is one extending to all mankind, and excluding none. Some of the preaching of former days which taught exemption of portions of the human family from being the special class to whom it is sent, and that those who received the message to them it was especially sent, has nearly passed away and about discarded from the pulpit. All mankind is included in the invi tation to the gospel feast. The leading items of the gospel feast are, the sinner is justified with peace, joy in the Holy Ghost in all its qualities, and the love of God shed abroad in the heart. This message is sent to him who rejects it, to him, too, who receives it with insult. This message is particularly design ed to strengthen the weak in the faith, the trembling and hesitating soul in Christ, that they may take higher ground and not be like the Israelites of aid, who through unbelief wandered in the wilderness many years when they might have entered into the promised land. The promise is unto us that we may enter into rest and not lose the blessing through unbelief. In the afternoon the services were conduct ed by J. Church of Richmond, who preached Irom Kcclesiastes, in, 1 To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.” In all of God's operations it came in its due time, and whatever the season. God met sin with the deluge. God sends first two messengers of mercy. Jesus came to us in the purpose of God, in the season to beet meet the world's greatest need. God's purpose to us is that we repent, and the season is now. Last evening Rev. Mr. Ntackpole of Bath, prt ached a very powerful sermon from John xvt, 7-8 It was expedient that Christ leave the body when he could only be with the few. that in the person of the Spirit he might be with all who believe on hint. The office of the Spirit is to convict. He who receives Christ in to his heart is taught righteousness and the blessedness of the indwelling spirit. If we are not in the full possession of the assurance of peace in Jesus, then it is that we have not made a perfect surrender. At the close Bro. Stackpole led the altar service in a practical way by going directly into the congregation and inviting sinners to come. ELLSWORTH. Reunion of the First Maine Heavy Artillery. Ellsworth, Aug. 21.

Lumber and Spool Mill Burned at South Lincoln. Baxgob, Aug. 21. The lumber and spool mill, spool sheds and other buildings of John McGreghr at South Lincoln were burned Friday morning. The total loss cannot yet be ascertained, but there is understood to be an insurance of $23,000. The property is insured in the agencies of John S. Ricker Son, J. P. Wiggin, and C. S. Pearl of Bangor. The loss on the John McGregor spool fac tory burned this forernoon at South Lincoln, together with machinery, a large amount of finished and unfinished spools, a large shed 250 x 40 feet filled with sawed and seasoned spool bars, was $50,000.

Among the new arrivals were a large delegation from South Lawrence Academy consisting of teachers, students and educators; Elders A. 1). Burrill from Ver mont and Elder I). A. Robinson, President of the Massachusetts Health and Temperance Association. The forenoon sermon was preached by Elder Robinson from the words “Blessed are the pure in heart lor they shall see God,” Matt, v, 8. The speaker showed that by nature all hearts arc evil. The man that has no motive that would lead him contrary to God’s revealed will was declared to be pure in heart. The fact that God tests and proves man by circumstances was illustrated and the law of the Most High shown to be em bodied of purity. The advantage of purity to man in this life was shown and the promise of seing God in the future dwelt upon. The sermon was calculated to improve the mind and to lead the thoughts in an elevated channel. In the afternoon Elder A. I).

A Flattering Victory For the Boston Yacht—The Puritan Defeats the Pris* cilia by II Minutes and 12 Seconds. Sandat Hook, X. J., Aug. 21. Four contestants for the trial race for the •election of an American yacht to sail against the British cutter Genesta showed signs of preparation at an early hour this morning. The Priscilla was under sail at about 9.30 A. M the Puritan and Gracie being also prepairing to hoist their sails about that hour. The Bedouin was towed down to the light ship at about 9 o'clock. The thick haze of the early morning cleared away and at 9.30 a light southwest breeze was blowing. At about 10 A. m, the Luckenback. the judges’ boat, and the stake boat arrived off the Hoi k. Orders were given to make ready for the start, and the four racers, together with the assembled yschts, proceeded toward the light ship where the start will be made. Storm signals have been displayed at the sig nal station and a strong southeast wind is in dicated for this evening. The wind is blowing moderately from the south. The weather is cloudy and hazy. As near as could be observed from here the starting time ot the yachts from the line be tween the Luckenback and Scotland Light Ship, was as follows: Priscilla 11.15; Gracie 11 1*5; Bedouin 11 16m. 30s., and the Puritan 11. 17m. 30s. All had their main saiis, fore sails aDd jibs and gaff topsails set. Long Branch, N. J., Aug 21. At 1.20 P. M.. the Puritan had just passed here with the Priscilla about a mde behind, followed by the Bedouin and Gracie. New York. Aug. 21. The first of a series of trial races between the centerboard sloop yachts Puritan and Priscilla to decide which will be the defender of the American cup in the September races with Sir Kichard i utton's cutter the Genesta, was sailed to-day resulting in a flattering victory for the Boston yacht Puritan. No test race was ever sailed under more favor able conditions to the competitors. The course was 20 miles, dead to windward, measured by h g, doe south from Scotland light ship and return. A stiff breeze, that compelled all the contestants to house their topmasts, but w hich was steadily from start to finish, favoring none, made the contest an extremely satisfactory one. While the water was by no means smooth it was not as lumpy as when the yachts contested for the Goelet cup off Newport, and yet as lumpv as any in which the Genesta mav care to meet the cup’s defender in September. By special arrangement the sloop yacht Gracie and the cutter Bedouin are to sail in all the trial races, their owners having a standing wager of 3100 a side for each race sailed. They were both badly outsailed by the Puritan and Priscilla. The Puritan's actual time of 4 hours, 58 minutes, 19 seconds is, its said, the lastest time ever made bv a sailing vessel under similar conditions, averaging as it does nearly 10 miles an hour. A thick haze hung over the upper bay at 2 30 o'clock when the ocean tug left Pier 3, East River. She had on hoard, besides the regatta committee, a num ber of prominent yachtsmen, among them E. A. Willard, who later went on board the Priscilla to represent the Puritan's people. As the judges' boat sped down the bay the haze was cleared away by a moderate breeze from the southward. The clouds gave promise of more wind from the same quarter in a short time. The quartette of races were “hove to” in the horse shoe to the westward of Sandy Hook, and all ready for a start. The wind had freshened considerably at 11.08, when the preparatory whistle was blown from the judges' boat. The start was a grand spectacle. Capt. Crocker brought the Puritan down on the port tack just in time to cross the line when the whistle was blown at 11 13. Capt. Gibson did the same, and both dashed across at exactly the same time, the Bedouin and Gracie following. The race had begun in earnest from the very start. The Puritan went about almost on the line, and crossed the wakes of the other three. A few moments later she had her starboard tack. As the breeze freshened all took in their top sails and housed their top-masts except the Puritan, who carried hers fully half an hour longer than the others. At 11 29 the Puritan went about, crossing the Priscilla's wake two minutes later, and slowly but surely eating up to the windward of the Iron sloop and out-footing her aa well. At 11.56 the Priscilla came about right under Bedouin's lea beam. When the Puritan tacked three minutes later she had a decided advantage, and when the Priacilia took in her topsail at 12.13 she was a full mile on her weather beam and carrying her topsail. The water grew more “lumpy” aa the yachts got out in “the open" but the Puritan made best weather of it. It was noted to that she was quicker in stays than the Priscilla. The water mark was sounded as follows Sloops. Hour. Min. Sec. Puritan, 2 28 Priscilla, 2 40 37 Bedouin, 2 52 15 Gracie. 3 13 10 The Puritan crew work with a will. In 10 minutes after the white sloop was before the wind they had their topmast aloft, an im mense spinnaker swelling in the breeze to port and soon after a sprit topsail and a ba loon jib. The Priscilla people were not so prompt. It was fully 20 minutes before her spinnaker was broken out and her topsail set. The run to the finish was truly a handsome marine picture as the snowy pyramids of white duck gleamed in the sunlight, and the black and white hulls of the yachts swayed on the white created south bay, northward. The judge’s boat, steaming 12 knots an hour, could not catch the Puritan before she fin ished, but her time was accurately taken by Mr. J. R. Burke on board when she passed the lightship. The Bedouin’s peace bad proved too hot for the Gracie in her work to the windward so she was “hull down" astern when the Puritan finished. “We are well satisfied with the Puritan's work today,” said Mr. Stebb.ns of the com mittee, “what we want now is a day when there's a light wind in the windward work and a good strong breeze when they run before it."

The cutter beat the sloop 21 min. 29 sec., to windward and the sloop gained 4 min. 25 sect, in the run to the finish. The Puritan's spinnaker boom was let go by the run breaking it and splitting the sail badly, just after finishing. Id to-morrow’s race, which is a triangular one, she will use the Priscilla’s second spinnaker, or if it does not suit the committee will bar the spinnaker altogether in that race. BASE BALL.

Montreal, Aug. 21. At a meeting of the boot and shoe manu facturers yesterday a petition was drawn up asking the city council to prohibit public meetings, circuses, etc.; to build a smallpox hospital; and appoint additional vaccinators and prevent health officers from riding in tbe street cars. Tbe manufacturers ssid that the fall orders from the west were being cancelled on account of the epidemic in the city. Mayor Beauregard has devoted $500, the balance of the volunteer’s reception fund, to tbe relief of the poor who are suffering from small pox. Private subscriptions are coming in, and the city council will vote an additional sum if necessary. A temporary small pox hospital was opened todav. The small pox lias become epidemic in Montreal, and, notwithstanding the efforts of the board of health, is spreading in western portions of the city. There are about 300 known cases, but there is every reason to be lieve that these are 300 or 400 more unreport ed. Thirtv-two new case were reported to the board of health yesterday. The mayor has prohibited Barnum’s circus from entering the city on account of the danger arising from large crowds of people gathering together. He has also closed the theatres. The clergy men are also urged to leave their pulpits; and the members of the church, who have the disease in their houses, do not attend worship. The prevalence of the disease is affecting the trade of the city. Travelling men say they cannot sell their goods. The greatest obstacle to checking the disease is the ignorance of the populace. They move among people sick with the small pox, ap parently without fear. FROM NEW ORLEANS. A Large Fire at Texarkana—Loss Esti mated at $150,000. New Orleans, Aug. 21.

A Collision Between the Russian and Afghan Troops. Lokdou, Aug 21. A despatch from Meshed, Persia, near the Afghan frontier, to the Times, slates that a collision between the Russian and Afghan posts nearly occured on the 13th inst at Karaktepe. 13 miles from Chamani Baid. Some Russian troops the despatch savs. ap proached Karaktepe and the Afghan troops there stood to their arms. A Russian officer when he saw this ordered his troops to un sling their carbines, and he was shot and ser ioasly wounded by the accidental discharge of one of the weapons. Considerable excite ment and confusion followed, which how ever, subsided as soon as the truth was made known. The Afghans then detained the Russians until they received an order from Herat to let them go.

A hurried investigation of the occurrence was made on both sides The Russian commander exonerated the Afghans and promised that the troopr should not again advance beyond Chamani Baid. Four Eng lish officers continue to supervise the work of repairing and strengthening the forts of Herat. THE CHOLERA. The Death Rate Throughout Spain. Madrid, Aug. 21.

A special from Fort Worth says: The sensational disclosure, of Wednesday in re lation to the affairs of the late John Nicliol*, vice president and teller of the National Bank, resulted in a run on that institution, Thursday. As toon as the doors were open a steady stream of anxious depositors filed through the bank, and about one o’clock the crowd seeing that the bank was paying every one who applied, quietly began to disperse and the run ceased. Some business men made large deposits to show their confidence in the bank, and matters seemed to be pro gressing favorably for the bank, when about two o’clock, to the surprise of every one. the doors of the bank were closed and the following notice posted: “This hank has suspended by order of the comptroller of currency as per telegram to Wm. A. Britton. President of the City Na tional Bank: Washington, Aug. 24. An examiner ha* just been sent to take possession of and examine your bank. Close the doors and hold all assets as they are until his arrival. J. S. Lonowortht, Deputy Comptroller.” President Britton states that he notified the treasury department of the defalcation and receive the above reply. Mr. Britton and a numberof other bankers in this city immediately framed a telegram to the comptroller asked him to remand the order closing the bank, but just at their pro test was about to be telegraphed they dis covered a forged check for $500. alto a note for $600 and concluded to allow the doors to remain closed until a thorough examination hat been made. Nichols was also city treasurer and an ex amination of his accounts, to-day, revealed the fact that he was also a defaulter to the city of Fort Worth in the sum of $31,300. Hit bondsmen are responsible men and the probabilities are that the city will lose noth ing. Included in his shortage to the city are $5000 in city bonds wtich are missing, and twenty Torrent county bonds numbered from 34 to £5 for $500 each, aggregating $10,000 market value. These bond* are alto misting and are supposed to have been told in the east. It was also discovered that Nichols in his capacity as vice president of the City National Bank had borrowed $13,000 from three other banks in the city. These loans were immediately paid by the City National Bank. It it believed that Nichols hypothecated for personal loans all hit shares in the bank and other corporations In which he was a stock holder. At near at can be estimated the shortage of Nichols to the bank and the cily of Fort Worth aggre gate* $75,000. Hit unsecured loans from outside parties will bring his shortage up to $100,000 or over. He owned considerable valuable property here and at other points in Texas. It 1* believed that everything was mortgaged to secure outside loans, the ag gregate of which no one at this time knows There no longer exists any doubt but that Nichols committed suicide. Physicians say that the symptoms of hit death indicate strychnine. No explanation as to how or where the dead baaker lost bit money is forthcoming. It it aaid that he was inter ested in silver mines and other hazardous enterprises. Ron Over. North Cohwat, N. H., Aug. 21.

The Hamilton county prohibition conven tion met here today and nominated a full ticket The platform declare* that inasmuch as prohibition has not been recognized by either the democratic or republican party,this year it is the sense of the convention that the purposes of it* party are onlv to be accom plished hv placing in the legislature men who are friendly to the prohibition cause. A special series of resolution* were adopted expressing the highest confidence in the ability and sincerity of Dr. A. B. Leonard, the partv candidate for governor, and the disbelief in the aspersions that have been cast against him personally during the cam paign. The Wabash Strike. St. Loins, Aug. 21. No developments in the Knights of Labor trouble in the way ot a demonstration have occurred to-day. The men of the Northern Pacific shops say they will not handle Wabash engines. Bill Hogen, an employe, last night refused to handle a Wabash en gine and was dismissed. The master of the shop was notified that Hogen must be rein stated and paiJ for lost time or a strike would ensue. Under orders of the superintendent, Hogen was reinstated to-day and paid for lost time. Both sides are acting very cautiously. The Great Pood. Nkw York, Aug. 21.

Have new preawn, large (quantities of paper stock, and the !a>*t style* of type. Order* by mail will receive prompt attention. The ranks of the learned professions are always full, and were never more crowded than at the present time, while skilled labor is always in demand. Just now there is great difficulty in securing competent men for the many responsible positions created bv the increasing use of electricity, and smart young men willing to take the trouble to fit themselves for such positions need not fear lack of em ployment when they have done so. The tide has turned at last. A Canadian bank officer has defaulted and escaped to New York. It is true that anything in the shape of real reciprocity In this direction is out of the question, seeing that Canada has not yet got bank officers onough to off set the immigration from this country. But it is something to have it demonstrated that the United States can be a land of refuge for the weary defaulter, and that the Dominion has no monopoly of that lucrative business. Mr. Gladstone’s supporters will l>e cheered by the news from Norway. His health has rapidly improved during his pleasure cruise, and as soon as he landed from the yacht lie set off' for a walk of eighteen miles. The feat of pedestrianism will be welcomed as indicating physical vigor that has not been impaired by age or by exhausting labors of State. What the liberals are hoping lor is that he will return to England with sufficient voice for two or three ringing speeches in Mid lothian. The eonstituenees will pay little heed to Mr. Chamberlain’s vagaries if the responsible loader takes the field with old time energy and resolution. Evidence in support of the theory that the explosion on the steamer Felton, at Philadelphia, was caused by some kind of an internal machine is accumulating. The l.nding among the debris ot what resem bles the lid of a small dynamite canister strengthens this supposition, while the discovery of part of a “cabas,” bears out tbe statement of a passenger that lie saw a man place such an article behind the door on the boat. It is difficult to find a motive sufficiently powerful to account for the shocking ferocity and reckless inhu manity ot an attempt to blow up a vessel freighted with live hundred lives. The only one hitherto suggested is business riv dry, and that seems quite inadequate. The dispatch giving particulars from the career of a noted California stage rob ber, just arrested, suggests that the “pro iession” of road agent is not so perilous as tenderfoot generally imagine. This man at one tilin' “held up” thirteen peo ple with complete success and a single shot-gun. And, in fact, there is good reason to believe that the business ot rob bing stages, save where express compan ies send armed messengers on the routes, has never boon very dangerous. Stories have been told of stages being stopped hv unarmed men. the threatening presenta tion of a stick ol wood answering all the moral purpose of a Winchester rifle. The truth is that neither drivers nor pas sengers in such circumstances feel like fighting. Few road agents have there fore come to grief while in the pursuit of their calling, though most of them have landed in the penitentiary at last. Whether a murderer or not. Maxwell is certainly talking too much for his own good. One day he answers to the name o'. Brooks, and figures as the son of a gentleman of character and standing in Cheshire, England. Simultaneously with this announcement, the life insurance fraud theory is abandoned and heart dis ease. superinduced by an excessive appli cation ot chloroform made with the intent to overcome insomnia, is given as the cause of Broiler's death. Why he thought it necessary to pack Broiler's body in a trunk and run to Australia in disguise with the dead man's effects he has not yet explained. He is now disposed to deny his Brooks alias and his chloroform and heart disease story. It is intimated that the insanity dodge will be resorted to. the claim being, not that Maxwell was insane at the time of Preller's death, but that he is insane now, and evidences of his fligbt iness are carefully recorded. Maxwell is entitled to the presumption of innocence until he is found guilt v. but the conflicting explanations which he makes of the Brel ler affair seem to make the legal presump tion of innocence in his case an extremely violent one. The prevalence of smallpox in Montre al has been suspected for some weeks past. The local papers have been giving no in formation on the subject, and Montreal correspondents of paper* in other cities have persistently denied the rumors based on private letters and the reports ot trav ellers. Montreal usually has many visit ors at this season, and we believe there is no injustice in the assumption that the si lence was inspired by the desire that there should be no diminution in the number this year. But the time for silence was over when one of the most distinguished ot the residents of the city fell a victim to the disease. The papers now speak re grettolly of the prospective loss ot busi ness, but it is probably that the loss will be much greater because they failed to prod the delatory authorities to stamp out the disease before it had secured so strong a foothold in the city. There is now a call for the enforcement ot cleanliness, isolation of the disease, and compulsory vaccination, such as should have been made weeks ago, and would have been made with good results in any city of the United States. The newspapers of Mon treal, for their criminal silence, must share with the inefficient officials the responsi bility for the present stage ot the pesti lence. The Reawakening of Venice. A correspondent write* to u* from Venice, under date Aug. 1 “Just now Venice i* en tirely g.ren up to ‘la festa’ in honor of the launch of the Francesco Morosini. The de light of the Venetians in having woke up and turned out a thundering big ironclad is tre mendous. The superlative* in all the papers simply tumbles over each other. How sad it all is to a devout Kuskinian like me you may imagine, to see the accursed modern Italian pulling down (‘restoring,* they call it) St Mark’s and the Ducal Palace with one hand and building ironclads, instead of gal leys, with the other. And then all the ‘nine teenth century Venetian’ they have run up even since I was here three years ago—facto ries, foundries, or houses, they are all in the same style—square sheds of yellow bricks with square windows in stucco frames at regular intervals. As for the *festa,’ it was little tiresom, so relentlessly did our gondo liers insist on our going through with it all —the serenade on the Grand Canal, with three companies of music on as many illuminated barges, (one of them, a copy of the old Bu centaurs,was really pretty,) and the fireworks in the basin of St. Mark’s. But there is a re freshing equality about a Venetian holiday. There are no regulations about ‘gondolas only allowed here’ or reserved places there—gon dolas (the King's auiong them, distinguished only by a little gilt crown above the back cushions,) barges, and the galleys of the gendisrmes all joatled each other in complete familiarity. The King, the papers say, met with *a receptian of altogether incredible en thusiasm It struck us. however, that the cheers in his honor were decidedly feeble,and that he was very much of a second fiddle— first to the Queen and then to the ‘resuscita tion of Venice.* The Queen is clearly popu lar, hut then she is known to like Venice by so often staying there, and the Venetians pay her hack. There is nothing in Venice except for consideration received.”—Pull Mall Gazette. The Marrli of the White Man. The London Spectator under this title gave the other day a startling statement of the enormous increase of white men in the world during the last two centuries, auguring from it the ultimate inevitable subjection and ex tinction of the dark races. It assumed that ‘•in 1688 the white men formed hut a small fraction of the world’s population—about one tenth.” and that now they number, according I to Giflen, 420,000.000, or one-third of the whole. At this rate of progress it reckons the white race will number a century from now over 1.000,000,000. The process of extermi nation or smothering of the dark races by tlii>» flood tide of white blood is foretold by the Spectator from the advance of France 1 and Russia into Asia, of England into Egvpt. the Zambesi region and Borneo, and Ger j many into Africa In 1085, it prophesies, when the world contains 1,000,000.000 white men, 600,000,000 of them will he English and German, and 800,000,000 Siav The Scandi navians, French ami Spaniards will have be come extinct. 4*1 f the Teuton and Slav can keep friends the world is theirs.” Other wise, we are led to infer, the domination will remain with England. Railroad Gatige8. Before next June all the Southern railways of magnitude will have changed their gauge to correspond with that of the Northern stan dard. We shall then have but one standard for the whole country, so fur as the great sys tems are concerned, and cars can traverse the vast domain of the Union from one ro mote point to another with change or break ing of bulk. Of course the narrow gauges will remain, hut they are at present inconsid erable in number, whatever thev may be in the future. For many months all the car purchases of the coast line south of Wilming ton. N. C., have been with this idea in view, ami we know that Major Wilkins has already accumulated a large amount of information on this subject, looking to the inevitable transformation on the Georgia Railway and its branches. When a railway company has made all necessary preparations for this change it is effected with wonderful rapidity, in a single day hundreds of miles of track are adjusted. The expense is large at first, hut the advantages ensuing rapidly make up for all extra outlay,—Jw^us/a (Ga.) Chron icle. Grant anti a New Horse. Handsome Matthew Hiley was quite inti mate with General Grant and sold him a nice little trotting mare to mate his favorite road ster by Superb. “She had one fault,” said Mr. Hiley the other day, “and I insisted on the General giving her a week’s trial before paying for her. In a few days I received a check, and when next we met I inquired. ‘Does she suit you. General ‘Yes,’ said he unhesitatingly. But don't she trouble you in starting out of the stable I asked, for I knew she would rush out badly. ‘Oh, she did that once or twice and then I adopted different tactics. I headed her the other wav and backed her out without trouble.’ ‘Well, 1 never thought of coming such a movement on her.'” said Mr Hiley.—.Vrir York cor respondent of the Chicago Horseman. Personal.

Some ten year* ago I had a scrofulous *ore on my right hand which gave me great troutde, and under the old-time treatment wn* heal'd up, and I supposed I wa* well. I found, howev r, it had only been driven Into the system by he use of potash and mercury, and In March, 1887, it broke out in my throat,'and concent rat* «i In what some of the doctor denominated cancer. I was placed under treatment for this disc ase. Some six or seven of the best phy sicians in the country had me a? different times under their charge, among them three specialists in this line; but one after another wou'd exhaust their skill and drop tne, for I grew worse continually. The cancer had eaten through my cheek, d« stroying the roof of ni' mouth and upper lip, then attacked my tongue, palate and lower lip, d stroyind the palate and under lip entirely and half my tongue, eating out to the top of mv left cheek bone and up to the left eye. From a hearty robust woman of 150 pounds, I was reduc'd to a mere fVame of skin and Bones, al most unable to turn myself in bed. I could not eat any solid food, but subsisted on liquids, and my tongne was so far gone I could not talk The anguish of mind and the horrible sufferings of body which I experienced never can be revealed. Given up by pbv stcians to die, with no hope of recovery upon the part of triends who sat around my bedside expecting every moment to be my last; in fact, my husband would place his hand on me every now and then to see whether I wa* alive or not. and at one time all de cided that life wa* extinct, and my death was report ed all over the country. Such wa* mv wretched and helpless condition the first of last October il*84), when mv friend* com menced giving me Swift's Speoi'ic In les* than a month tne e ting place* stopped and healing com menced, and the foarflll aperture in mv cheek has been closed and firmly knitted together’. A process ot a new under lip is progressing lively, and the tongue which was almost destrojed Is being recor •red, and It seems that nature is supphing a new tongue. 1 can talk so that my friends can readily understand me, and can eat solid food again. 1 am able to walk about wherever I phase without the asaistancx' of anv one, and have gained fifty pounds of flesh. AM this under the blessing of a mercifully Heavenly Father, is due to Swift's Specific. I am a wonder and a marvel to all my ftiend* hundreds of whom have known mv inbrne sufferings, and have visited me in my afflictions. While 1 ani not entirely well, yet my gratitude is none the less devout, and 1 am confident that n pericci ncovery is now in sight. If any doubt these tacts, I would refer them to Hon. .lohn H.

Strawberries set out now will give a crop next year. The Concord grape originated as one out of a test of 22,000 seedlings. If the leaves on the grape vine are abun dant and rank, nip our such as shade the fruit. Celery needs a great deal of moisture. On this account growing it in trenches has a great advantage, because of the ease of watering. Two golden secrets have been divulged bv a successful gardener, namely manage to have a large compost heap, and allow no weeds to go to seed. Some gardeners who have light, well- j drained soil sow onion seed in the fall, for j early bunchin? in the spring. The rows should be covered lightly with coarse lit ter during the winter. To Have Beautiful Pears.—For develop ing a handsome color, as well as render ing them more juicy pears should be rip ened between blankets. This is done by spreadings blanket out in a cool room— on tbe floor will answer—and on this plac ing an even layer ot fruit, which should then be covered with a second blanket. The result will be apparent in the most golden colored Bartletts, and rich and ruddy looking Seckels, and so on. Flower and the Lawn. Repair the greenhouse. Slip the pelargoniums. Sow pansies during this week. The tiger lily came from China in 1804. Swan River daisies look like cinerarias. This is the time to divide and reset Kng lish daisies. The eommon white lily possesses the peculiarity ot being at rest only during the month of August. It should now be reset The rose acacia is often troubled with borers working under the bark at about the surface of the ground. These should be watched for and dug out, now being the time for the work. If you have only windows that face the north remember that some kinds of plants may be well grown here during the win ter. We would suggest ivies, ferns, lyco podiums aspidistras, palms, rubber plants and cytisus for such places. Kail Propagation.—No other time in the twelve months presents such an opportun ity for propagating soft wooded plants, as the month beginning now. There is almost no limit to cuttings to be had front the summer plants. The growth in many instances has advanced just far enough j towards maturity to favor rooting well and there will tie ample time for voung plants to become established before wio ter. Young and thrifty fall struck plants usually winter better than old ones that have been lilted. In the case ot any rare kinds cuttings may be made soon, and the old plants lilted and potted immediately afterwards for affording crops of cuttings during the winter. YTery Cheap Ice Cream. A Chicago druggist thus explains the con stitution of prcternaturally cheap ice cream “Milk, egg*, cum starch anil a thickening of gelatine are the principal ingredients, so far as I know. That gives a very appetizing ice cream, I should think, and it is no wonder that they can sell the stuff at a dollar a gal lon,” “I understand that cotton seed oil is used by some of the manufactures," remarked the reporter to whom he was talking. ‘‘Worse than that,” was the reply. “They use lard oil, which is nothing else than the ‘oleo oil' of the butterine trade. Contrary to the buttermaking, though, the oil is not chilled tiy tieing run into tanks of cracked ice. hot is warmed in steam jacket kettles to nearly the boiling point—200° Fahr. The j milk—which is purchased from the croamer it's, is what might be called skimmed on both i sides and partially in the middle—is also heat 1 eil to about 175" Fahr; thus nearly equaliz ing the specific gravity of the two principal j ingredients. To every five gallons of milk, costing 20 cents, is added eight ounces ot oleo oil. After this is thoroughly mixed, there is an addition of 16 ounces of potato starch, which is cheaper than corn starch,and one-half ounce of gelatine. This whole de lectable manner is then boiled in copper vaecum pans. The ingredients unite chemi cally much better in a vaecum than under atmospheric pressure, as would be the case in open vessels. Again the boiling point is lowered, and thus is prevented what has proved such an annoyance in butter making —the suet flavor. Whatever should remain of that nasty flavor in the so-called ice cream is killed bv the flavoring extracts, mostly vanilla. Then the mess is congealed in or dinary freezers, and your modern ice cream is ready for the market. The average vanilla extract is made from the sprouts of the spruce pine, and a better kind is made from the tonka bean

(Continued trom yesterday.) “You known how little superstition there is in my nature—sojae say, indeed, too little, for ft is difficult for me to be lieve in anything not patent to the. senses: but at that moment there crept into my soul a grisly fear of something not of this world. A shudder ran through my trame. I could feel my eyes dilate and open to their utmost, and a sweat, cold as ice, mingled from my brow with the blood trickling from my wounds. All was as still as death. I tried to shout; my throat drv, parched, and contracted, refused its office. No sound came to break that hor rid silence. I strained my eyes into the black obscurity which encompassed me— a darkness which could be felt, which pressed upon me, which seemed to hold me, b-eathless. in its infernal embrace. Nothing. A void, vast as the universe, narrow 89 a tomb. My shuddering feet stood upon a something dark, dark and cold, as ii they rested on a nest of ser pents above, around, a silent pall of un utterable obscurity. My elbow touched the wall; I started as if stung by a scorp ion or as if ghostly hands had seized me from the nameless mystery which lay arourd. My heart stopped and then sent the blood whirling to the brain in sicken ing force. Was I mad? Was this a fever born dream “Some dreadful thing, cold, slimy, as was everything in this hideous place, crawled or wriggled from under and be side my foot. Spots red and green began to dance like demons’ eyes in the distance —formed probably by the pressure ot the blood upon the brain and nerves. “I have twice or thrice since then faced what seemed like probable death without much feeling about the matter, but the foe was visible, tangible; not a hideous void like that I faced that November night. “Again 1 tried to call out and tms time a faint, hoarse sound, which seemed to be the voice of another, issued from my lips. “I had struck mv head violently in my rapid descent, but gradually my senses re turned and drove off the nameless dread, only to replace it with a feeling of help lessness, almost of despair. The air was bitterly cold, cold with a vault-like chill which stiffened my limbs, clad as I was only in a single linen garment, to the bone. But, with the return of thought, came the better feeling of a wish to. at least, strug gle tor existence. I tried to collect my ideas, to in some manner explain how the strange thing could possibly have hap pened. It was all like reasoning around in a circle. “What had been in my room? How came it there? What had it done to me? How could I pessibly have gone through the floor? Where had 1 gone? Through what agency? So back again to, who had been in mv room? How came it there? and so on through the round again. The more I thought the more inexplicable be came the whole affair, but at least I could not think—not shiver in nameless horror. “I knew not where I was. but I felt sure that no sound 1 could make would reach the men, all of whom were outside the tort. Kven from the ground floor room, it was quite certain that, especially on such a night, with the waves beating against the side of the islet, no mere re port of a pistol could be heard at such a distanee. “Where could F be? Was this some trick of the thieves who had held the de serted fort so long? It was dark as only a windowless vault can be, even at night. No one ray to show me if the place were large or small—a cellar or a well. By what possible agency could I have been hurled into this pit? I had paced over the whole room and there certainly was no opening in the floor, unless it had been most carefully masked. Besides this, I felt sure that my fall had been much greater than the distance from the room I had slept in to the cellar. My brain was still somewhat clouded by the blow my head had received, and which I thought had been struck just before my fall, or, rather, before mv being violently thrown downwards. “Fortunately my pistol was still in mv hand and the box of cartridges in my pocket. I felt carefully tor the wall, placed my back against it, and. determin ing to sell my life dearly if attacked, waited a moment in silence. All was still. Taking the box as noiselessly as possible from the pocket of my night shirt I re loaded the pistol. Still nothing. But I was freezing. The slimy stones beneath my bare feet were rapidly chilling mv blood. If I fire my pistol, I thought, I may see where I am. I fired twice. “It was the cellar which I had already visited I had only, then, fallen some ten or twelve teet. I at once remembered that to this cellar there was a door leading, by an external flight of stone steps, to the ground in front of the room in which I had slept. Another shot showed me the door, on which, however, there was a heavy, old fashioned lock without a key. Haifa dozen shots from my revolver broke the rusted iron—and I was free “Covered with blood and slime, I stood at length beneath the stars my head ached violently, my teeth chattered' with cold, but I was free! O, the delight of that moment! free! “My first feeling was that it was my duty to call some of the men and search the house; but that I could not bring my self to do. No; I must not be seen by them in such a plight, nor must they come until 1 had solved the mystery. My own outer door was too securely bolted to force open; but making mv way through another entrance. 1 easily blew the lock off ot an inner door of communication. Grasping my pistol tightly I eatiously en tered. There, directly across the room, was the figure! “Bang! hang! and I sent two more bul lets crashing through it. Whatever it was it certainly was no living thing. If not, what then What or who had struck me the blow? What had opened the solid floor and cast me into the pit beneath With eye and ear upon the alert, ready tor foe, human or other, I reached the table where the lamp stood and felt for a match. None. But I had some in my pocket. My clothes were upon the other side of the bed. I went slowly around, found the matches, came back to the table, and, keeping my pistol in my right hand, removed the globe and chim ney of the lamp, struck a light, took a hurried look about the room, put the tire to the wick, replaced the chimney, and turned again to that white mysterv. There it stood but what it was I could not even guess at. One thing was certain, it had not been there when Fwent to bed. In the light it looked like a great, white box some ten feet high, open on the sides, and standing against the wall opposite the foot of my bed. Taking up the lamp I walked towards it. What is that on top? By heavens, it is my trank “What do yon think my ghost was? A TOILET LUXURY. AVer’s Hair Vigor is the most cleanly of all preparations for toilet use. It is a delightful dressing for the hair, arrests the tendency to baldness, is agreeably perfumed, and is an effective remedy for all diseases of the hair or scalp. Mrs. D. Parks. Clio.

Bessie H. Bedloe. Burlington, Vt., was troubled with a disease of the scalp, which caused her hair to become harsh and dry, and to fall out so freely that she scarcely dared to comb It. Ayer’s Hair Vigor restored the scalp to a healthy condition, cleansed her head of dandruff, and made her hair beautifully thick and glossy. This preparation is approved and recommended by physicians. AYER’S Hair Vigor Restores Vitality. When the hair begins to fade, grows gray, becomes weak, thin, brittle; and harsh, the vital forces of the organs, on which it depends, may be reestablished by the use of Ayer’s Hair Vigor. It will cause a new growth, presenting the lux uriance and color of youth. Every woman who has arrived at the middle age, and who wishes to retain the original t U%1> 18 s m J-8 |g W n5a§. u. I reel on, 10 Elm st., Charlestown, Mass., writes: “Two years ago about two-thirds of my hair came off. It thinned rapidly, and I was fast growing bald. On using Ayer’s Hair Vigor, the falling stopped, a new growth commenced, and in about a month my head was completely covered with short hair. My hair has continued to grow, and is now as ample as before it fell.’* W. IV. Wilkins, indsor. 111., says that erjsipelas in the head left his scalp as bald as an infant's. The use of less than a bottle of Ayer’s Hair Vigor produced a fine growth of new hair, of the original color. PREPARED BY Or. J. C. Ayer A Co., (Analytical Chemists), Lowell, Mass.

S octt'dfcwly It was an old. white-painted dumb-waiter, leading to the former kitchen My trunk had chanced to be placed directly on its top, which was level with and formed part of the floor. The jar of the footsteps had loosened its old weights. I had taken the tray of clothes Irom the trunk, and the dumb-waiter, gradually loosened, had shot up—as such things will at times do—a couple ol hours later. It had long been disused and the shelving removed. When, therefore, I rushed at it l had simply fallen into a hole, some three feet by two, in the floor between the elevator's sides; had struck the bottom board, the machine had gone down with me, and my weight removed, had again risen. I had knocked my head against some corner as I tell, had come down very hard on the stones paving the former kitchen, had cut myself on some projecting edge, lor there were two pretty bad places from which the blood still dripped—and that was my ghost; that the mysterious agency which had •hurled' me into that ‘awful’ pit! “Did you ever hear of a ghost doing more I never heard of one who could do half so much. “But just think if I had gone, bare footed and bedraggled, called up by men, and led them on to combat with—an old, white dumb-waiter.”—Chicago Tribune. The relaxing power of Jobnsou'i Anodyne Liniment is also miraculous. A gentleman whose leg was bent at the knee and stiff for twenty years had it limbered by its use, and the leg is now as good as the other.
