RIP VAN WINKLE. Joseph Jefferson, the great actor (whose equal to the character of Kip Van Winkle we shall never see again), states that he vlsiled Dr. Y lower in a very tow state of health. He had given up the stage on account of his health being tterly broken down. Dr. Flower entirely cured him; and he is to day en joying the very best ol health, after having tilled last season a heavy professional engagement. The two great remedies used in this celebrated cure were I)r. Flower’" Uver and .Stomach Sanative and Nerve Fills. _ A Railroad President’s Testimony Col. rhos. A. Hcott, for years President of the great Penn ylvunia K. It., said just before his -udden dentil, in answer to a question “There is but one Dr Flower, and It w ill be a oentury before there is another, aud the «ne medicine for Liver and -toin ach troubles, and the general system, is his Liver and Stomach .sanative.” A Case Without a Parallel.

Framingham, Commits Suicide. So. Fmmst.mu, Mass.. Aug 24. Ex Treasurer Ac ail], of the Framingham Savings Bank. hi se accounts were last week made the subject of special investigation by the bank commissioner*, commuted suicide at the hank this afternoon about quarter past two, by cutting his throat. He died itt a few moments. Mr. Adams committed the act in the bank office at So. Framingham, and when found a revolver laid beside hsm, from which it is supposed he intended to use provided t'le razor did not accomplish ilte work This forenoon the ex-treasurer, who all through the trouble winch the bank has been in for the past four days, has appeared to be very cool and collected. He came to South Fram ingham from his Framingham Centre home and quietly went to one of the lawyers offi ces iu Nobscol block in close proximity to where the office of the Savings Bank is lo cated and on the same floor. Here, during the forenoon, he remained, not appearing in the hank office at all, and fur some time as sisted in figuring up interest aceounts of de positors who came today to draw their money. Mr. Getcliell arrived here early this afternoon and went to the bank about 2 o’clock He shortly afterward went to the lawyer's office.where Adams had been rngaged in his work of aasaistance to the bank officials Adams lett the office and went to the banking rooms where one or two people were in charge The bank committee began to look over Adam's ledger, but very soon the alarm was given that the late treasurer had cut his throat while standing up in the bank office The news spread like wild fire through the village and town and business was interrupted seriously at the bank for a time. The body was placed in the charge of the proper au thorities. The deceased leaves a wife, two sons, Walter, chairman of the board of se lectmen of Framingham and a prominent Boston lawyer, and Joseph S.. who itas been tor years associated with his father in the bank at Framingham and also in the insur ance business; also a daughter. He was also a prominent member of Middlesex Lodge of Free Masons at Framingham, lias been trial justice for many years and was otherwise prominent as a citizen and a leading demo crat of the section. Huston, Aug. 24. J. (istchall, commissioner of Saving* Bank*, who st t ie bank at the time ot the suicide of ex-Treasurer C. S Adams has made a statement in which lie says there are many "irregularities in the accounts" of Mr. Adams. Ilia present examination of the hank, he says, is his annual examination, hut had his suspicions not been aroused it would not have been made until next month. Among the irregularities found hv the commission! r are the following: C. S. Adams, the ex treasurer, and J. S. Adams, his son, who carried on the insurance agency separately from their interests in the hank, were in the habit of drawing loans from the hank without endorsement or security against which they made deposits to their own credit from time to time. The only receipt hook at the hank kept by the ex-treasuier was a book of blank receipts, the stubs of which were not properly filled and in some instances were left entirely blank. The check book of the hank hail not been footed or verified at anv time or in anv manner. Many of the stub* where a check had been detaehed were blank, many without date, many without stating the purpose for which the money was used. A gentleman had paid a mortgage loan on the 15th inst., and from that date had been endeavoring to get the mortgage discharg'd. He found that the treasurer had neglected to have his deed re corded, and ha* not received the papers in the case up to the present time. It was the custom ot both Adams' to frequently draw checks for their own personal hill*. The treasurer has frequently drawn cheeks for his own account, amounting in the Jast two niontha to $2100. One was $3N0 for painting Ins bouses while others, he slated were for expense* of which he had filed no bill and had no account. Others, he said, were ac commodation checks for which he afterwards deposited the bill* hut which cannot be shown by the books I also found gross negligence in the collection of interest, $172,000 of mortgage loan not having the April interest paid thereon, and much of it being much more in arrears. A part of the bank stork dividends have not been paid for a year and a half. The accounts are now being gone over by an expert. Murdered lor Their Money. St. Lotus, Aug. 24. A despatch from Venita, Indian Territory, says Frank P. Cass and A. P. Goody, two prominent citizens of Venita, who left there a week ago for the Cheyenne and Arapahoe reservation to buy cattle, were murdered while asleep in camp about two miles from the Sac and Fo* agency, last Thursday night. The deed was evidently committed for plun der. Both were white citizens, but citizens of the Cherokee nation having married In dian women. Vandalism in Marlboro, Mass. Mam.boro. Mass., Aug. 24. Bregham's cemetery, (Unitarian), juat oil Main street, in the southern part of the town, was entered by vandals some time during yesterday and a tomb broken into.

When near Rodg ers’ corner.a young man in the crowd made a grab tor ih»* bottle in the officer’s pocket, and succeeded iu g tting hold of it and spilling part of it.

There are not as many applicants tor the office of minister to Spain as there were before the cholery began to reap its colassal harvest in that unhappy country. Nevertheless, il President Cleveland wants a man lor the place he can, probably, find one if he will only make an effort. The condition of Mr. Gladstone causes much anxiety in England. He has been able to take considerable exercise in Nor way. but his voice does not return, and there is little prospect that he will speak daring the political campaign now (airly open. The liberals are almost panic stricken by the prospects before them. There is little doubt that the adminis tration, in its opposition to the silver dol lar, has begun a warfare in earnest. It is reported, on what appears to he excellent authority, that Secretary Manning is pre paring to show to Congress that the ex periment of the 84-cent dollar has been one of the most expensive a civilized na tion has ever made and he is also of the opinion that the experience of the next three months will furnish abundant con firmation of this. It is verv good news that comes from I/>ndnn, to the effect that, Russia and England have come to an agrement upon the question of the Afghan frontier. A war between them would have been lamentable in itselt, and European politics are in so ticklish a state that, such a war conh! not be fought out without involving other powers. No doubt the question in dispute must be fought out at some time, hut if English statesmen are wiser for the next ten years than they have been for the last ten it will not be fought out with the odds so heavily in favor of Russia as they now arc. Mr. Clifford Llovd, formerly a stipen diary magistrate in Ireland, has derived from his experience in that capacity, as our cable dispatches show, somo sound and wholesome notions ot the needs of Ireland. He is strongly in favor of local pelf government for that island. The ob jection urged in England to bis project, that the local laiardshe proposes to estab lish would lie incompatible with "Castle rule." is really a recommendation. The Viceroyaltv is at the best an absurd an omaly. The nation of keeping a Viceroy in a place distant from the sovereign he represents six or seven hours by steam and five minutes by telegraph is a “sur vival of the most objectionable kind. Moreover. “Uie Castle" has from of old been the asylum of well connected nood les, and it has lately appeared that these' feeble-minded persons are quite as low in the scale of intellect as ol morals. The disestablishment of “the Castle" would I>e quit* as wholesome a change for Ire land as was the disestablishment of the Church of England in Ireland. America in Eti(Uml. The American Exhibition in London Rap idly Gainino in I’i hlic Estimation,— Interview with the Commissioner Gkn bral. New York, August. 1885. Business men throughout the I'uited Slates are manifesting nmeli interest in the Ameri can Exhibition which opens in London. May 1st, 1888. tu continue six months. In the opinions of some of the most prominent man ufacturing and importing firms in New York, the exhibition win afford uneqnalltd facilities for introducing the products of the United States abroad. Mr. John Gilmer Speed, the Commissioner-General, lias charge ot the work in this country,with offices in the Times building in tins city. I’o your correspondent Mr. Speed gave the following information regarding the character and purpose of the exhibition: The Etuerican Exhibition in London is to be devoted entirely to the expo sition of the resources, products, manufac tures and arts of the United Statea Its buildings and grounds are situated at Earl's Court, a station on several of the rapid tran sit lines ot London and within easy walking distance of the best residence quarter of the British metropolis. Both by its plan and its location this exhibition recommends itself strongly to the people of the United States. As s mesns of putting before the people of the Old World the evidences of the vast op portunities offered by this count-y for the profitable inrestment of capital it cannot be excelled. For the purpose of showing the natural resources of the various sections of the United State* a system ot State exhihita like that followed at New Orleans has been adopted, riie central locaii y f London, its immense populstion, over ten millions of people residing within an hour's travel of the exhibition grounds, snd the vsst number of strangers of all naationalities nightly within its borders will make it a peculiarly advan tageous spot tor an exhibit which shall so present the resources of a State as to make it evident to capitalists seeking new investments, and emigrants seeking new homes that each can be satisfied within the border* of the State exhibiting. The 8wte* that exhibited in New Orlean* lait winter have each reaped tome benefit therebv. How much greater then will be the benefit that wul accrue to the State which ihall make a complete exhibit of it* resource* and product* at London, the metropolis of the world. The exhibition csn be readily divided into two J*-partmentt the official or State exhibit* and the private ex hibit* of butineas firms. The former are to consist of evidence* of natural resource* ex hibited for the purpose of immigration and the investment of capital, while the latter will consist of exhibits of manufactured good* made for the purpose of extending private trade. In the former class arrangements have already been made for exhibits from twenty-two States, while regarding the Utter class the Director-General is able to an nnanre that application for space already ex ceed the most sanguine expectations. A Genuine Mind Cure. A lady from the South End was enjoying a vi*it from her mother, who had been stricken with paralysis some years previous As soon as she arrived at her daughter's home she stipulated that she must sleep down stairs, as her health would not permit her to climb up stairs The man of the house, like a dutiful son-in-law. gave up his bed below and went up stairs himself. Finally a severe storm brokd out. and the lightning and thunder wer- terrific. The lady of the house, a little timid, thought she wnuld light the gas in the 1 dining-room As she had done so and turned j to go back to the bed-room, she was startled j to see the face of a rough-looking man peer ing at her from one of the piazza windows. The wnman, clad in her nightclothes, was chained with fear for only an instant, and then, without uttering a sound, she fled up stairs to awaken her husband. In the meantime, the old lady, her mother, heard her daughter’s bare feet swiftly patter ing across the floor, heading for the stairway, and intuitively feeling that something was wrong, and, entirely forgetting her own con dition, sprang from the bed and fairly flew after her daughter. She reached the stair wav, and, in spite of her paralytic infirmi ties,{which she had carefully nursed for years, found herself rushing upstairs. Her daugh ter heard the steps behind her and supposed that the man she had seen on the piazza had broken in arid was pursuing her. Not for an instant dil she imagine that her invalid and paralvtic mother could move so rapidly. This added to her fright and increased her pace. Siie rushed up to her husband’s bed side shouting, “Save me! save me!" and, looking around, saw her invalid mother. “Why, mother, is this you? I thought you couldn’t walk up stairs “I thought I couldn’t; but I never tried before.” Then the man of the house went down to reconnoitre as to the v isitor on the piazza, and grandma crawled into bed. She always went upstairs to sleep after that. A squad of 1*5 gypiea had taken possession of the piazza to shelter them from the storm, and the gentleman, not having the heart to turn them out until the rain was over, allowed them to remain.

The Fourth and Ninth Cuirassier Regiments were engaged in charging drill on opposite sides of the plain, when, owing to the cluds of dust raised by j the careering squadrons, the two bodies of! horsemen came into disastrous contact.

I whilst not a few besides were thrown and dragged, by the stirrups catching their feet through the thick of the melee or over the pi in by their terrified steeds. It was some time before order could be restored and the injured soldiers attended to, when many of them were found to he most severely disabled and the two regiments had to have numbers of their men sent to the military hospital All the journals that have reported the afiair comment in indignant strain upon the con duct of the chief commanding officer, whose oversight and carelessness conduced to the sa»l accident —Oalignani's Messenger.

For the benefit of mifrrini humanity, and in heart* fe!t gratitude at the wonderful result, I deem It only my duty to give this unsolicited testimony in favor of '■‘Wifi's Specific. My wife has been afflicted with hereditary Rcsetna or **alt Kheum from her infancy. It has increased in Intensity with each suooeedtng spring, and being somewhat skilled in medicine my. self, I tried every remedy I could think of for years —Sarsaparilla combi n* d with every form of Potassic, and hundr* ds of other n tnedies, lotions and alkali washes ot every known kind, bat they all gave only temporary relief' During the spring of her lower rxtn ntitl's became so inflamed and sore that she was obliged to keep theme nstantlv coated with a cot. ertng ot •■Fuller's Earth,” mixed wet and allowed to dry on. imoni other things, she w»s afflicted with a p« nodical nervous headache.occurring regularly eve>y •even d-.ys, sometimes followed by au intermittent fever tor weeks at a time, so that her life became a burden to her This spring I determined she should take S. 8.8. and follow strictly the directions in regard to do*e, diet, etc. This was about seven weeks ago. After taking the first large bottle the disease seemed to increase; the burning, itching and lufian mation be came unbearable. She, however, persevered in the use of the medicine. After taking the second bottle the inflammation began to subside Aftet the third bottle the inflammation disapoeared, and acre spots dried up aends U|M>n the cooking and the care anil preparation bet"rehaud. Washing in several waters is absolutely necessary to prepare nearly all kinds of green vegetables for the table, and great care must be given in examining spinach, lettuce, greens and cauliflower, as often verv minute insects are lurking in, or under the leaves of these. It will be lound a good plan to wash them in weak salt ami water, after which they should be put in ice water for a few minutes to prevent their becoming tough and wilted Good Hotuekerping. Home seasonable Suggestions. A bag of hot sand will often relieve neuralgia. Varnish is death to the most offensively known house-bug. Hop pillows are successfully used by many people who are otherwise unable to sleep soundly. Kid shoes may be kept soft and free ir 'in cracks bv rubbing them occasionally with glycerine or castor oil. A little saltpetre or carbonate of soda mixed with the water in which flowers are placed will keep them fresh for many days. Never sun leather beds. Air them thor oughly on a windy day. in a cool place. The sun draws the oil and gives the leath ers a rancid smell. Cold chocolate is a popular summer drink. (Jrind up chocolate, put in a lillle pulverized sugar anil pure cream and it is ready for use with the addition of ice water. ('tdd rain water and soap will often take out machine grease from fabrics when other means would not be advisable on account of colors running, etc. Bronze may be restored by washing thoroughly to remove all grease and dirt, and then rubbing persistently with a mix ture of one part muriatic acid, and two parts water. The mixture should be ap plied with a cloth and when dry polished with sweet oil. Decorator and Furnisher. Practical Recipes.

Tonra truly, GEORGE DRAPER. BesfM. Jaanars 1. Ifififi. Iv $atti and £feftchf$. -i THE BOTTLE. ‘•I believe I’ll have a glass ot something comfortable.” said Tom Barnaby. Tom Barnaby was not a member of any temperance society whatever, and had no dislike to the taste of liquor. Not that he was a drinking man. Oh, dear, no! Never was drunk in his life; never even slightly overcome by liquor. Rut still—well.still, every now and then a nice glass of some thing comfortable struck Tom in a pleas ant light, and he generally took it when it did. To-night it was cold and chilly and gloomy, and the wind rattled the shutters and crooned down the chimney, and made a banshee of itself along the street; and Tom. who was not very fond ot reading, could not lose himseltin book or magazine and there was no one to ta'k to, and the resolution above recorded seemed to be the most natural thing in the world. •‘A glass of something comfortable,” said Tom, "and a biscuit, and then I’ll turn in.” Then Tom went to the closet to look for a vessel in which to bring the necessary liquor for the ‘•comfortable something” from the corner store, and spied on an up per shelf a green bottle, with a fat body and a long neck, which had nothing in it, and smelt ot nothing, and he set it upon the table, while he stirred the fire and put the kettle on. that everything might be ready on his return. Mrs. Tom was absent from home, and Tom was keeping house for himself. He was on his knees before the stove, raking it,when he heard a groan. It was a faint, far-away sounding groan but it had such a ghostly sound that he started. ••What’s that he cried and some thing answered: •‘Only me.” And jumping to his feet, Tom Barnaby stood staring about; for there was noth ing in the room that ought to have had a voice but himself—not even a kitten or a canary bird. “Who is me?” cried Tom. “Tom ought to know,” said the voice. And this time Tom saw it came from the green bottle. “Hanged if it isn’t the bottle said Tom. “Is it spirits, or what?” And the bottle answered “Yes, worse luck. It is spirits. Bad spirits, too. Gin, rum and brandy— whiskey and alcohol!” “Oh, that kind said Tom. “Yes." said the bottle. “Five devils. I’ve been possessed by them all. Years and years they led me such a life that I wished I was smashed; years and years until your wife got me and put blessed vinegar in me. Nice, sharp, respectable vinegar, that never did worse than give some poor cabbage eater the colic. And I thought I should end my diys as a de cent vinegar bottle, and here 1 am—going to have one of the devils back, I know. Oh. what did that dear woman go away tor? Whydid shego?” Tom, who had grown used to the phe nomenon of a talking bottle, and did not mind it at all by this time, nodded his head sagely. “Right there,” he said. “It’s exceed ingly uncomfortable to have wife away, but you are very foolish to talk as you do. What harm is there in a moderate drink? All you’d hold wouldn't harm a fly. You’ve been listening to teetotallers.” “I haven’t been listening to anybody,” said the bottle. I’ve found my own con clusions. There was a time when I thought as you do. It was when I was a brand new bottle, with a gilt label, ‘Best Holland Gin,’ on me, and my owner, the liquid dealer, took me out of my case and handed me over to Jack Bar ker who had just finished painting the store. “Here, Jack.’ says he, ‘this will help you keep Christmas.’ ‘Thank ye,’ said Jack and off I went under his arm, “And there, in a bright little room, with a pretty wife and a nice old grandfather, and two cunning little babies looking on, he opened me. ‘What a nice smell!’ said she—the pretty wife. "And then he made some stuff with lemon and sugar, and thev all drank some; and the babies looked at the light shinning through my green sides and the gilt label on me. And the old grandfather said the drink had gone to his head, and he should have to be carried up stairs, and they laughed at that, because it was such a gcoil joke. "I liked myself then and what was in me. “Before I was emply the first time, I felt pleased to be such a favorite as I was. “Ah, dear, I was filled up again and again, and again and after a while I be gan to see things changed about me. The wife's face was not so bright; the old grandfather never laughed; the baby's toes were out; and one day Jack stag gered in, took me up, drank the last drop from me, and tumbled into a chair. The wife began to cry. ‘Oh, Jack!’ says she. ‘Oh. Jack! how I hate that dreadful bottle! We were so happv bofore it came into the bouse!' “She blamed me. but 1 knew it was the evil spirit in me that she meant. ‘You’ve lost vour place. Jack,’ savs she. ‘Everything has changed. You don't care for the children. It’s all that bottle.’ “But Jack was too tipsy to care what she said. He staggared over to the table, took me by the neck, and carried me to a liquor store. There they put another devil into me. That one drove the furni ture out ol the house; bit by bit it was pawned. "Then they left the house itself and were in a cellar somewhere. She took in washing; some of the money she earned went for more evil spirits tc fill me. “Didn't I loath mysell? One night I sat on the table and saw the old grandfather lying dead and Jack drunk on the floor at the foot of the bed. Didn't I loath my self? 1 tried to topple off. but couldn't manage it. If ever bottle did desire to smash itself. I did. (Tc be continued.) INVESTMENTS. It if well known that the City of St. Paul, Mi one fota, l« aaenred of n rapid growth from now on.

I am fifty-seven years of age. and was quite gray. By the use of that one bottle of Acer’s Hair Vigor, the original color was perfectly restored, and I now have as fine a head of hair as when 1 was sixteen." 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 oreparation i9 £51*. M.
