The following , clipped from the Burlington
Junction , ( Mo. , ) Post , contains information of
no little value to persons troubled with indi
gestion :
For years the editor of the Post has been
subject to cramp colic or fits of indigestion ,
that prostrated him for several hours and un
fitted him for business for two or three days
af erward. About a year ago we called on S.
J. Butcher , druggist , and asked for something
to ward off an attack that was already making
life hideous. Mr. Butcher handed us a bottle
of Chamberlain's Cholic , Cholera and Diar
rhoea remedy. We took the medicine accord
ing lo directions , and not only found relief on
that occasion , but have several times since
Iried its virtues and found relief in every in
stance. We take this method of acknowledg
ing the benefits derived and recommending
the cure to all others subject to indigestion.

such be the case , it is certainly a ' 'Godsend"

IN A HOT PLACE.
There used to exist a grerit rivalry
between Captains of steamboats ply
ing on our larger rivers. To outspeed
one another they wouU recklessly put
more steam upon the capacity of their
engines than they possibly could stand
and in consequence the boilers fre
quently burst and the boats were
wrecked.
1 was employed for a number of
yeiiiv on a boat , which had a boiler
explosion in such a race. by. which six
persons lost their lives. After the
damage was repaired and the six vic
tims buried we made the necessary
preparation to resume our voyage.
Some carpenter-work remained to bo
done , but the \ . aptaln thought that
could be iinished wh le the boat was
running. We had worked very hard
for two daya and the last afternoon
was allowed us for recreation , for
early no t morning the anchor would
be heaved. Sove went ashore.
When I returned to the boat the
night was bitter old and very stormy.
IiiaK-ad of stat.oiii.ttr a watc-'nnan on
deck , the boit.- > wi n locked every
thing and retired to his cabin. Only
the engine-room was open , and the
boards and planko which were de
molished by the e-plosion had not
been replaced. The floor was wet ,
and no place could b3 found on deck
as a shelter against the increasing
storm.
I concluded to leave the interior of
the boat and sleep in open air instead
of being expose. ! lo the fear'.il draft.
I felt in the l.rk with my hands
along the engine go find a way out ,
when my foot u u.fl'.t on a cover ly

and which , when the- boiler is used , is

with a weighty clamp-iron , making
the boiler air-tight

divers sounds , by which I concluded
that day was approaching , though all
around me was impenetrable darkness.
The fearful thought struck me that
during my sleep the opening of the
boiler might have been closed. I
crept towards it. A chill went to my
heart. All was dark , closed , impene

me. without the least opening to ad

a death. Thousands are often caught
in such small spaces of a ship , have
sunk to the bottom of the sea , have in
despair beaten against the too-well
closed hatches and been drowned.
Why should I not also die in this way ?
But after I had accustomed myself to
the thought , another came to me. I
felt the water becoming hot I heard
the crackling of the fire , which had to
change the water into steam , before
it could rise high enough to drown
me. I shuddered. Mv fearful aitua-
