A FAMOUS REMEDY.
The man who invented pills, especial
ly those of the sugar-coated sort, de
serves the gratitude of mankind; for,
if we must swallow physic at all, the
smaller and more agreeable the dose is
made the better. But, we presume, the
first ingenious pill-roller must continue
to remain in obscurity among the great
Unknown. Not so, however, the maker
of Ayer's Pills, the most famous of
modern medicines. Few names are
more familiar than that of Dr. J. C.
Ayer, whose sugar-coated pills are man
ufactured by the ton and are used all
over the world.
The immense popularity of Ayer's
Pills is due to a happy combination of
qualities: they are agreeable and easy
to take, mild but thorough in operation,
beneficial for a great variety of ail
ments, adapted to all ages, climates,
and constitutions, and their use is at
tended with no ill-effects. "What more
could be desired?
These excellent results are secured by
the combination of purely vegetable
aperients, of which the essential virtues
alone, and not the coarse fibre, are used
in compounding Ayer's Pills. No cal
omel, or any other injurious drug, en
ters into their composition a recom
mendation that all must appreciate,
especially when in need of a domestic
medicine ; for, however useful and even
necessary calomel may be in certain
cases, it is, without doubt, one of the
most hazardous of drugs and should be
taken with extreme caution.
In the liver derangements peculiar to
southern climates, where calomel is
so often resorted to as a specific, Ayer's
Pills are strongly recommended, being
quite as effective as calomel, and with
out its dangerous results.
An intelligent Texan puts the case in
a nutshell when he says: "After many
years' experience with Ayer's Pills as
a remedy for the large number of ail
ments caused by derangements of the
liver, peculiar to malarial localities,
simple justice prompts me to express
my high appreciation of the merits of
this medicine for the class of disorders
I have named."
We are assured that Ayer's Pills have
largely superseded the old-time reme
dies for stomach and liver troubles, not
only in the South and "West, but all over
this country as well as in foreign lands.
GOLD 1 GOOD

Faults.
MR. CLEVELAND IN WASHINGTON.

Washington, Oct Ss7. "Do you know
that gold is the most unwieldly of all
the different kinds of money now in
circulation?" said a prominent banker
to a representative of the United Press,
"Why so?" was asked. "Because it is
not bankable without scrutiny.
"How is that?" "Simply this take a
greenback, a silver certificate, a gold
certificate or a national bank note to
your bank and it is received and placed
to your credit without a moment's de
lay. Not so with gold. A few days
ago a gentleman brought to our bank
upwards of $3,000 in gold of different
denominations a.d was provoked be
cause we would not receive it forth
with and give him credit for the
amount of tne faces of the coins renre-
sented. This we could not do, because
the law requires that gold shall be re
deemed only at its actual value. Coins
carried in the pocket for any length of
time naturally lose something ic weight
by abrasion, probably but a fractional
part of a cent on a ten-dollar coir: but
it is a loss, nevertheless, and therefore
bankers cannot give credit for gold de
posits until the coin shall hr.ve been
weighed. In the case in point mv
friend took his gold to the treasury de
partment and was compelled to wait
there nearly an hour before he could
get notes for it. Every coin had to be
passed through the scales, and after the
weighing process had been compeleted
three coins two nve-dollar pieces aad
one ten-dollar piece were returned to
him as short in weight. Before return
ing short weight coins the department
stamps on the face of each a cross. The
owner is left to either send the coins to
the United States mint for redemption
or to again put tnem in circulation
eventually tne coius with crosses on
their faces will go to the mint and be
redeemed at their actual value. In
many instances there may not be more
than several cents shortage of $50
worm or coin. .Business men, However,
naturally object to the inconvenience
and get rid of their gold as fast as pos
sible."

Washington, Oct. 27. Since his so
journ at the Arlington Hon. Grover
Cleveland has had but little time to
himself. The ex-president's magnetism
apparently clings to him, and all
nis intimate mends as well as
those who are not included in that
number, have taken advantage of the
opportunity ro pay ineir respects, uur-
ins his first day in Washington Mr.
Cleveland was compelled to deny him -
self, to visitors in order to arrange the
case upon which he will to-day submit
an argument before the supreme court
ot tne United btates. bince that time
he has been almost constantly engaged
in receiving friends. Mr. Cleveland
has little to say upon topics political.
He appears to be thoroughly content
in his law practice and says that lie is

Bishop Hurst.
Washington, Oct 27. Bishop Hurst,
of the Methodist Eniscopal church, has
reached home after having crossed the
Auanuc iour times witnm as many
mouths. The bishop is very enthusi
astic over the proposed Methodist uni
versity which is to be located near
Washington. The project will be one
of the most important which will be
considered by the bishops at their meet
ing, which begins this week. Bishop
Hurst believes that the monoy for the
site $100,000 will be secured during
tne coming winter. Already between
$45,000 and $50,000 have been sub
scribed. He believes also that there
will be a general inclination in the city
to encourage the institution; for, while
the .Methodist church will be b hind it
and responsible for it, the mode of in
struction will be liberal enough not to
exclude students of anv denomination.

'SLAVERY IN MW TOBK
A South Sea Island Grl Escapes froi
Bondage Near the Metropolis.-
DETROIT, Mich.. Oct. 27. AbOUt ft
week ago there came to Detroit a col
ored girl, whose appearance indicated
that she was a South Sea Islander. She
was scarcely-able to speak, knowing as
little of the language as a 3-year-old
child. From what she could tell it was
understood that she had been kept in
slavery on a large farm a few miles
from New York, and had been sub
jected to an awful course of treatment,
bring whipped for every trivial offense.
She finally managed to escape; and,
with a large number of pennies hoarded
up during her slavery, came to Detroit.
She showed many marks of abuse, even
her tongue being striped and swollen.
Friday night while out looking for
work the girl fell on the street in a
fit. She was taken to the house of the
people who had cared for her since her
arrival here', where a physician dis
covered that her body is a mass of sores
and bruises, and that tho girl may die.
She continually cries out, "Me want
die, me want die." She calls her former
master by the name of "Marse Her-burt."

Solo the Wise ui Ctomm .the Klag.
There lived in Athena some six hundred
years before the birth of Christ a very wise
and generous man nam -A Solon. He was
a richmerchant as well ss a great scholar,
and on account of his wisdom is consid
ered as "being the most noted of the Seven
Wise Men of Greece. Solon proposed good,
wholesome laws, which his countrymen
gladly accepted, and under which Athens
enjoyed a period of peace and prosperity.
There lived in Lydia, a country in Asia
Minor, a very rich king named Croesus,
who invited Solon to visit him. When So
lon had beheld all the beauty and splendor
of the palace he was asked by Croesus if
ever he had known a happier man than he.
The answer was, "Yes, an honest man.
who had good children, and died bravely
in battle for his country." The king was
disappointed, and asked if he knew any
other man more happy than he. Solon
answered that he had known two loving
brothers who were kind to their mother,
and had died a tranquil death while pro
viding for her. Crccsus was much dis
pleased, and asked why he should not be
considered happy. To which Solon replied
that no mauls lifo could be judged whether
it be happy or not until the end of it.
C raw us was afterward conquered by
Cyrxs, king of Persia, and sentenced to be
burued to death. When on the funeral
pyre he cried out in agony, "O Solon I O
Solonl" King Cyrus asked why he called
on Solon, and when Crceaus had related
what Solon had said Cyrus freed Croesus
anQ honored him as long as he lived. Thus
Solon was the means of saving one king's
life and of instructing another. School

GOOD-BY.
Be kind, dear lore, and nerer say "Oood-by 1"
But always when we're parting "Till to-morrow."
So shall my Hps forget to frame a sigh,
And Hope smile fondly in the face of Sorrow.
For If, indeed, it be but little space
Before our parted steps again are meeting.
Twill cheat the hours to haste their lagging pace
If Memory linger still on thought of greeting.
Or should our feet diverge through weary days
And dreary nights, the changing seasons bring
ing. The flinty sharpness of our lonely ways
Will somewhat smooth while thus the heart is
singing.
And if oh, saddest chance t God's pitying hands
Should wide as life and death our paths dis
sever.
What dearer thought could mead the broken
strands
Than thus to wait until we meet forever?

Kio Biggest Applo Tree.
The largest apple tree in New England.
and probably in the world, is in the north
western part of Cheshire, Conn., standing
in Mr. Delos Hotchkiss' door yard. Its
age can be traced by u family tradition to
M0 years at least, and it may be 20 or 25
years older. It is at the present time of
symmetrical shape; the trunk is nearly
round, without a scar or blemish on it
there are 8 large branches; 5 of them have
been in the habit of bearing fruit one year
and the remaining 3 the next.
Mr. llotcukiss has gatuered in one yeai
from tho 5 branches 85 bushels of fruit,
and his predecessor had harvested a crop
of 110 bushels from tho same 5 branches.
By careful measurement the circumference
of tho trunk 1 foot above the ground,
above all enlargements of the roots, is 13
feet 8 inches. The girth of the largest sin
gle limb is 6 feet 8 inches. Tho height of
the tree has been carefully measured ami
found to be GO feet, and the spread of the
branches as the apples fall is 100 feet, or 6
rods. The fruit is rather small, sweet.
and of moderate excellence. Boston Jour

Some Odd Manuscripts.
To the student of old manuscripts there
is nothing astonishing about the material
upon which they were written. Tho great
Mohammed, tho founder of the Mussulman
religion, is said to have jotted down the
brilliant passages of the Koran upon the
shoulder blades of sheep vliile ho was a
poor herder. The Iliad was first written in
characters of gold upon the great gut of a
dragon, the sci oil being over 100 feet in
length. As far bark tu the time f Job
authors wrote upon sheets of lead. The
great writers of th North wrote nil their
books upon beachwood or "bog," from
which our word "book" is derived. At
the Strozzi Palace, in Rome, there is a book
made of marble, the leaves being of ma'
velous thinness. Cleanthes, the philoso
pher, first inscribed his immortal work
upon the white sides of blsached sea shells

New Labels for Ilaggnge.
The most expensive of trunks, portman
teaus, etc., are soon rendered unsightly by
the repeated pasting ou of labels. All this
may be avoided, it appears, bv the use of
an English .invention, which consists of a
oase oi tougn nexioio noaru on which are i
placed, ono on top of the other, twelve
parchment paper labels, the whole being
securely fastened together with metal
clips, and an eyelet to carry the string for
attachment to luggage. The frequent at
tachmcnt of fresh labels is thus avoided,
as tho old or directed surfaces have simply
to be torn off as used, and a fresh one is
always ready for roditcction until the
"tablet" is exhausted.
A Growing Industial Union.
The Buffalo (N. Y.) Women's Educa
tional and Industrial union hopes to ex
tend its work. The report of the late
annual meeting says: jjiore room is
already required for the various depart
ments. A nail must be traut on our
vacant lot for lectures, coterie meetings
and receptions. In the high, light base
ment there must be ample room for the
college of domestic training which we
expect to establish. The old building
must be adapted to the new, and some
much needed changes must be made. It
has been suggested that we set apart one
large room which shall represent tho
achievements of women, there to be
placed, among many other things, works
of art b- women and manuscripts of
famous woman authors. We do not
know of a room in any public building
m our land consecrated entirely to the
result of woman's work; the Buffalo
union may set a good example. Woman
artists and authors would gladly con-
inouie to enricn and oeautiiy sucn a
memorial to their sex. We have already
one valuable cabinet of shells and min
erals, given in memory of the wife of one
of our well known citizens. If this
dream, as it has been called, shall be
come a reality, a marble bust of Julia
Ward Howe is promised, the gift of a
woman sculptor."
