ALL la Connecting His Kims with the Presi dency. He Says in Case !" His Election "It Woald Be CenstractlTe Salclde" Coald Net Live Oat His Term. Blaine's Ultimatum. Pittsburg special: The Times prints the following from a correspondent in Washington: In the course of a con versation with tbe writer and one of the leading- physicians of the country, who occasionally attended tho Secretary, the physician remarked: "I see some rapers continue to connect your iiame with tho presidency, Mr. Secretary." Mr. Blaino responded: "Tho presidency 8 an office without sleep. I am now C2 years old, and although you have told me and I believe that in heart, lungs, kidneys, and otherwise I am tree from or ganicdiseasc, suffering only from torpid ity of the liver, I do not believe if I were to be inaugurated President to morrow I would live out my term. If I were assured, therefore, of the nomi nation and election to the Presidency I could not accept it. At my age and with my temperament, and knowing what effect a long life of exhausting labor has been upon my vitality, it would be constructive suicide." The Secretary spoke with the empha sis of perfect candor and with the ap parent desire only to make himself defi nitely understood. Alter the Rustlers. Caspar special: A special Union Pa cific train came in here from tho south loaded with armed mon and stock grow ers' representatives. The rustlers had started a round-up with the intention of rounding up all the cattle north of here and in the Big Horn basin, and it is supposed the men that started from here are to start a regular round up. Upwards of 100 men left here and along their lino of march they com pelled men to travel with them. No one can guess the outcome, but it is gen erally thought that blood will flow and there will be a clean-up of one side or the other. The regulators arc led by some of tho wealthiest citizens of the State, and tho men are armed with improved weapons and ride fine horses. Never was there greater excitement than prevails here now, as no one knows what such a pow erful force will do or whom they are after. Another Heir to Millions. Af.in.Asn, Wis., special: Mrs. Charles Shirley has fallen heir to a quarter in terest in a 1.500,000 estate in Kew York city and has left for that place to take legal steps to procure the prop erty. The estate was left by a great uncle, who died wealthy and unknown in New York many years ago. It is said that nothing was known of his rel atives till several years ago when the body was removed and a will found. The address of a niece was found in a pocketbook in tho coat in which he was buried. This niece was Mrs. Shirley's mother. Tennessee White Caps. C1.ARKSVH.1.F, Tenn., special: White Caps who have for some time been op erating in this country are now re ported administering their mode of jus tice to citizens of Houston County, just across the Montgomery County line. A man named Keel, residing on Well's Creek, was taken out and a terrible whipping given him for his alleged crookedness. Two Children Turned to a Crisp. S-. Louis, Mo., special: n At an early hour the house of Mat Williams was burned. Two of his children, Marga ret," aged 9, and Nettie, aged 8, per ished in the flames. Williams was ab sent from home at the time, and it is supposed the children upset a lamp and, suffocated by smoke, wcro burned to a crisp. IN THE EAST. Dover, Dal., special: Hon. Willard Saulsburv, State Chancellor since 1874, and United States Senator from 1859 to 1871, died of apoplexy. Boston special: Through the inter cession of the State Hoard of Arbitra tion, the striking furniture workers and cabinet makers, who wanted nine hours a day, will return to work on a basis of nine hours with nine hours' pay. Xrw York special: Senor Gorgoss of Venezuela, who has just arrived here, says the troublo there is worse than reported here. All the States are 'no. en revolt against Palacio. Finan ciers arc wrecked and trade is dead. The revolutionist forces outnumber the government troops and it looks as if they would be successful. Nkw York special: Rumors of the possible organization of a big sugar refining company to compete with the sugar trust are so far advanced that the projectors are negotiating for suita ble property on Staten island for the plant It is further reported that Eras tus Witnan is interested in the scheme and ready to invest 1,000.000. Wiman declined to say who the projectors were. Mii.i.vili.f, N. J., special: P. J. Mc- Guire, General Secretary of the United Brotherhood of Carnentara fnr Amnrirsi. says that on the 2d of May a demand I most violent symptoms of hydrophobia, for an eight-hour day will be made by growling, barking, and snapping like a the carpenters of Baltimore, Cincinnati, doS frothing at tho mouth, and at Ccnver, Salt Lake City, Decatilr.

He considers that him- hen uis Prxysms arc most the prospects of winning in these cities v,olcnt he ls fastened to the bed with is very good, and does not expect either' straps. At times these spasms ieavo a strike or a lockout in either. Mr. ' hlm and he be&s. .those around him to McGuire further states that seventy one cities throughout the country will make a demand for a nine-hour day on the same date, and thinks that tho de mand will be granted in sixty-five of them. Dover, N. H., special: It has been learned that Julius McArthur, who killed Deputy Sheriff Charles H. Smith )f New Hampshire May 6 last while re sisting arrest for stealing a horse, and who escaped from the jail July 17, is none other than John Arthur Simpson, alias George Simpson, alias George M. Stiilwcll, formerly ot Fredericktoc, N. B., once a Baptist minister, and later a burglar, horse thief, incendiary, forger, bigamist, and finally a murderer. His chief seat of operations for the past twenty years has been in New England and the provinces, but -the police think he has now gone South or West. He is a remarkably fluent talker. The crime for which Simpson is wanted was com mitted less than a month after his dis charge from tbe State prison of Massa chusetts after serving a three years' sentence for bigamy. Leaving Boston . . . IT 1 . . ne went 10 ve.rmout, am mere stole a horse and carriage at Enosburg Falls. He was overtaken near Farmington, N. II., with tho team, and in the attempt to arrest him. shot Ofllcer Smith, who, ! however, held his prisoner until secured I by others. The day after he wis placed in jail "McArthur" attempted suicide by opening a vein. He was then placed in tho women's depaitment of the jail for medical treatment, and later suc ceeded in making his escape. IN THE WEST. Sax Francisco special: A meeting of sugar refiners will be held here. There is now in San Francisco Claus Sprcckels, who has just made a com pact with the sugar trust by which he will be given a monopoly of this coast; Paul Eisberg, the German sugar mil lionaire; C H. Davis, representing the English sugar refiners, as agent of the Spaldings of Boston, and no less than six large Hawaiian planters, whose con tracts with the American sugar refinery end in a short time. It is understood that the conference is to make some ar rangement for the handling of Hawaiian sugar. Nearly all the planters of Hawaii three years ago rebelled against the Spreckcls domination and formed an association which bandied two-thirds of all the Hawaiian sugars. It was re fined here by the Aaierican refinery. That agreement is now ended and Spreckcls action in surrendering to tho trust practically makes bim master of the situation. He can dictate terms to the planters, and it is said they have secured the help of Eastern and foreign sugar men to bluff him. If he refuses to agree to a fair arrangement they pro pose to form an association and build an opposition sugar refinery. All inter ested are close mouthed, but these are tbe facts and the meeting promises to be lively, as Spreckels will not endure any bulldozing. Lake City, Cola, special: One of tho richest strikes ever made in the San Juan country has been made in the Eagle group by A. L. Lewis and W. C. Lee, in what is known as Slumgullion Gulch. The ore runs very high in gold. A mill run shows nineteen ounces in gold in an assay of twenty-four ounces. The vein is six feet wide and is com posed principally of carbonates, and can be taken out with a shovel very easily. Great excitement prevails over tho find, and hundreds of men are on the ground staking off claims. Tho mine is six miles from Lake City, with a good wagon road all the way. The strike was made in a valley three miles wide and four miles long, ana just unaer tbe surface is an iron cap. A mill run of two sacks gavo nine ounces of gold per ton. The iron cap is about 'twelve feet through and underneath it is the rich carbon ales, a small run of which returns nine teen ounces of gold. So far the vein is known to bo thirty feet wide and tho full width is not known. Neither is it known how deep it is. Waupaca, Wis,, special: The grand jury, which has been investigating the murder of Banker Mead for the last three weeks, handed in its report and was discharged. While the result of its deliberations is kept an official secret, yet there is a general opinion here that at least four indictments have beon found. No arrests have been made as yet. It is believed that Fred Lea of Waupaca, member ot the lower Wis consin House, who was accused of 'the crime two weeks ago in an amended answer to his jfuit for slander against E. E. Gordon, is one of the indicted men, and that fab Pryor of Rhine lander, Wis., who was arrested a year ago and discharged, is another. The identity of the others is not estab lished, but they are said to be Sam Stout, a Waupaca saloonkeeper, and Ed Bronson of Tacoma, Wash. District Attorney Gurney and W. C. Williams, who is assisting him, professed to be satisfied with the verdict. Tho whole secret will be out as soon as arrests are made. Chicago special: The National World's Fair Commissioners had a lively debate on the question of hearing argu ments as to the propriety of selling liquor on the World s Fair grounds. Mr. Brainerd of Connecticut raised tho question by introducing a resolution providing that any person who desired to be heard on the question be allowed to address the Commission on the day set apart for considering the Sunday closing question. Mr. Huntley of Alabama opposed the resolution and said that the Commission should not be made a forum, where any body of politicians can come and air their views. It is a disputed point whether the issue is a political or moral one, and he did not think that par t'sans either for or against the sale of whisky, should le given a pulpit in the Commis sion from which to disseminate their views over tho whole United States. The Commission should bo reached by petition in the proper way. The rcolu t'on was laid on the table. Sax Fjiaxcisco special: The steamer Australia has arrived, seven days from Honolulu. Various reports which havo been current at times regarding the expected outbreak in Honolulu received apparent confirmat'on on the morning of March 2$, when the curbing sur rounding the royal palace was found piled up breast-high with sandbags, t which, it is explained, were placed there , as a protection against an expected raid by a party of malcontents under Robert I Wilcox. The ministry disavowed any I preparation for defense, however, and Wilcox also denied having knowledge ' of an intent to commit an overt act. Over-zealousness on the part of Marshal Wilson is givenas the reason for plac ing the sandbags in position. Champaign, III., special: John Holt?, the 27-year-old son of Thomas Holtz, a prominent citizen of Mahomet, isefiuffcr iug the horrors of hydrophobia. He was suddenly attacked a few days ago. Since then, with the exception of tho time he has been under the influence of opiates, young Holtz has shown the Keep away irom mm. 11 is parents say that when a child he was bitten by a pet dog. Ei. Reno, Oklahoma, special: The presence of troops had the desired ef fect of keeping the "sooners" off the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Reservation and increasing the intense anxiety about the opening. Two carloads of negroes arrived in Kingfisher, all being pretty well-to-do, and determined to found a town of their own. The rail roads are increasing their facilities, but every incoming train is jammed and the army of homesteaders is still increas ing. It is predicted that the Cheyenne country will be settled by 60,000 people tbe first day of the opening. Kingfisher, Oklahoma, special: Thousands of settlers are coming in daily with teams and over the Rock Island route. A colony organized and left here for the Wichita country to make a run for County "G," the sui veying party having completed the sur vey. Kingfisher and El Reno, the dis tributing points for the new counties, are overrun with robbers and thieves. A man was robbed by pickpockets in broad daylight. Another was robbed of his transportation. Gambling dives are running wide open day and night, and the officials seem powerless. FOREIGN JOTTINGS. Madrid special: Great excitement was caused by the discovery of an an archist plot to blow up the Chamber of Deputies. The polico had Teceivcd in formation that two foreign anarchists were conspiring with Spanish anarch ists to blow up public buildings. The suspects, a Frenchman named Duval and a Portuguese named Fciriora, left their Louses, each carrying a parcel wrapped in a newspaper. The police watched them. At the Cortes building both placed themselves before a door leading to the Chamber of Deputies. The polico then decided to arrest them. Both men fought hard, but were overcome. They had in their possession conical bombs in closed in castiron cases and each having a three-minute fuse. The bombs weighed eight pounds each. The prisoners, who had the appear ance of workmen, wcro conveyed to the Minister of the Interior and scarchingly examined. A document was found on them containing the plan of the Cosmo politan Society, according to which they were to mow up tbe Cham ber 01 Depu ties, the Senate, law courts, Council of State, Minister of War, royal palaces and the Bank of Spain, in the order named. The work to be completed be foro May h Each prisoner made a con fession, but it is not known whether they gavo a clue to fellow conspirators or to the scopo of the plot. Rome special: Tho Tribuna, refering to an offer of 820.000 reported to be made by tho United States in connec tion with tho dispute over tho New Or leans massacre, advises the Italian gov ernment to reject the offer if it be ac companied by the reservation that the money is given solely as a mark of friendship for Italy, A denial of liabil ity,, says the Tribuna, will make the offer an act of degrading charity. Semi official papers deny the report that such an offer has been made, but deny it in terms that lead to tho belief that the denial relates to the form and not tho substance of the report. Paris special: The Journal Dcs De bates says that a serious quarrel is threatened between Spain and the United States owing to the latter coun try refusing to withdraw the appoint ment of II. Rand as Consul at Ponati, one of tho Caroline Islands, to whom bpatn persists in refusing to grant an exequatur. The matter is at a dead lock. St. Petersburg special: It is ru mored that a vessel trading on the Cas pian Sea, between tho Russian port of Baku and Persia, has been lost off the Persian coast and that 200 passengers perished in the wreck. London special: Staffordshire potters and other manufacturers havo decided to lock out 25,000 workers, the latter refusing to submit disputes with em ployers to a board of arbitration. Paris special: At Angiers anarchists exploded a bomb against tho police sta tion, seriously damaging the building and wounding one of tho officers. THE SOUTHERN SUMMARY. Ozark, Mo., special: If the expected happens in Taney County, the Bald Knobbers will reorganize and come over the hills and adjourn the investi gation into the lynching of Murderer Bright and the killing of Deputy Sheriff Williams a few weeks ago, now going on at Forsythe. That a mob will ap pear and take the men who are under suspicion out of the jurisdiction of the court is almost certain if they are hold for the crime of killing Williams. Tho investigation is proceeding slowly. The evidence against Lawyer Taylor is pretty strong, and tho indication is that he will be indicted for trial. A strange story, which may have some connection with the doings of the Taney County mob, has reached here. At tho Lewis place, six miles northwest of Walnut &naae, on me iarm 01 unaries Lewis, a new grave has appeared in the orchard, and his son, Frank Lewis, is said to be buried in it. The cause of the young man's death is not known, nor was the fact of his death known until the grave was seen. Neighbors proposed to ex hume tho body and find out the cause of death. The father, Charles Lewis, refused to allow it to be done, and threatened to shoot any man coming on his premises lor the purpose. So the matter stands. Some have asserted that Frank Lewis was one of the mob who hung Bright at Forsytho and that he was accidentally shot and has since dffed of his wounds. Moitii.E, Ala., special: The continu ous heavy rains for thirty-six hours havo ceased. The washouts on the Mo bile & Ohio Road were very severe north of Meridin. The iron bridge over Tibee Creek is two feet under water and the roadbed is entirely washed out just southwest of Point Mississippi. There There are several minor breaks north of Tupelo. Heavy floods in Northern Alabama demolished tho Louisville &. Nashville schedule. Trains stopped between Decatur and Hansville, tho track being flooded for miles in all di rections. Campton, Ky., special: John Smith and W. II. Reynolds, residing near Campton, met in the road near the res idence of Ira Drakes, Reynolds' father-in-law. They had a few unpleasant words, when Smith struck Reynolds twice on the head with a niece of wood. from the effects of which he died within six hours. Smith helped to dig a grave and assisted the neighbors in the inter ment, after which he was arrested, and is now in the Campton jail, bail being refused. Chattanooga, Tenn., special: It is stated on good authority that tin ore has been found near Opison, Tenn., but a few miles from this city. Tho ore has been tested and found to be of good quality, and a company will be formed for developing the miue. The fact of the deposit was learned during tho war by a Union soldier, but it was allowed to rest until the second find. Charleston,- W. Va., special: A freight train on the Chessapeake & Ohio Road was wrecked and a dozen cars de molished. It is reported that the engi neer, fireman, and. brakemen were killed. i? THE MARKETS. CHICAGO.

Quant as Investigated by an Albany (N. V.) Journal Iteporter A Story or Sur passing Interest. Albany, N. Y., Journal, March 4. Saratoga. March 4. For some time past there have been reports here and elsewhere in Saratoga County of a most remarkable indeed, so remarkable as to be miraculous euro of a most sevcro caso of locomotor ataxia, or creeping paralysis, simply by the use of a popu lar remedy known as "Pink Pills for Palo People," prepared and put up by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company. Morristowu, N.Y., and Brockvillc, Ont. The story was to tho effect that Mr. Charles A. Quant of Galway, who for 4ho.last six or eight years has been a great sufferer from creeping paralysis and its attendant ills and who had be come utterly powerless of all self-help, had, by the use of a few boxes of tho Pink Pills for Palo Pcoplo, beon so fully restored to health as to bo able to wa'k about the street without the aid of crutches. Tho fame of this wonderful, miraculous cure was so great that the Ercnimj Journal repoiter thought it worth his while to go to Galway to cill on Mr. Cuaut, to learn from his lips, and from the observation and testimony of his neighbors, if his alleged cure was a fact or only an unfounded rumor. And so he drove to Galway and spent a day and a night there in visiting Mr. Quant, getting his story, and interview ing his neighbors and fellow-townsmen. It may be proper to say that Galway is a pretty little village of 4C0 people, de lightfully located near the center of tho town of Galway, in Saratoga County, and about seventeen miles from Sara toga Springs. Upon inquiry, the resi dence of Mr. Charles A. Quant was eas ily found, for every one seemed to know him, speak well of him, and to be over flowing with surprise and satisfaction at his wonderful chio and restoration to the activities of enterprising citizen ship, for Mr. Quant was born in Galway and had spent most of his life there. Mr. Quant was found at his pretty homo on a pleasant street nearly opposito tho academy. In response to a knock at the door it was opened by a man who, in reply to an inquiry if Mr. Quant lived there and was at home, said: "I am Mr. Quart Will you como in?" After a little general and preliminary conversation, and after lie had been apprised of tiic object for which tho Journal reporter had called upon him, he, at request, told the story of himsLlf,and of his sickness and terri ble sufferings, and of the ineffectual treatment he had had, and of his final euro by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People, and cheerfully gave assent to its i'so for publication. Ho said: "My namo is Charles A. Quant. I am 37 years old. I was born in the village of Galway, and, execpt ing'whilo traveling on business and a little while in Amsterdam, have spent my whole life heie. My w ifu is a nativo of Ontario. Up to about eight yoars ago I had never been sick and was then in perfect health. I was fully siv feet tall, weighed lfcO pounds and was very streng. For twelve years I was a trav eling salesman for a piano and organ company and had to do, or at least did do, a great deal of heavy lifting, got my meals very irregularly and slept in enough 'spare LeJs' in country houses to freeze any ordinary man to death, or at Ieastgivo him the rheumatism. About eight years ago I began to feel distress in my stomach and consulted several doctors about it. They all said it was dyspepsia, and for dyspepsia I was treated by various doctors in different places, and too'c all the patent medi 1 could hear of that claimed to bs a euro for dyspepsia. But I continue 1 to grow gradually worse for four years Then I began to have pain in my back and legs and became conscious that my legs were getting weak and my stp un steady, and then I staggered when I walked. Having recc'.vd no 1 enefit from the use of patent medicines, and feeling that I was constantly growing worse, I then, upon advNc, began the use of electric belts, pads and all the many different kinds of electric appli ances I could hear cf. and spent hun dreds of dollais for them, but they d 1 me no good.' (Here Mr. Cuant showed tho Journal reporter an clcctiic Miit of underwear for which he paid $121.) "in the fall of 1SS3 the doctors advised a change of climate, so I went to Atlanta, Ga., and acted as agent for the Fstev Organ Company. While there 1 too'c a thorough electric treatment, but it only seemed to aggravate my disease, and the only relief I could get from the sharp and distressing pains was to take mor phine. The pain was so intense at times that it seemed as though 1 could not stand it, and I almost longed for death as tho only certain relief. In Sept-m-ber of 1888 my legs gave out entirely, aud my left eye was drawn to one side, so that I bad double sight and was dizzy. My trouble so affected my whole nervous system tuat 1 nau to give up business. Then I returned to New York and went to the I'ooseclt Hospital, whero for four months I was treated by specialists and they pronounced my caso locomotor ataxia and incurable. After I had been under treatment of Prof. Starr and Dr. Ware for four months they told me they had done all they could for me. Then I went to the Now York Hospital on Fifteenth Street, where, upon examination, they said I was incurable and would not take mo in. At tho Presbyterian Hospital they examined me and told me tho same thing. In March, 1SJ0, I was taken to St. Peter's Hospital in Albany, where Prof. II. H. Hun frankly told "my wife my case was hopeless; that he could do nothing forme, and that she had better take me back home and save my money. But I wanted to make a trial of Prof. Hun's famous skill, and I remained un der his treatment for nine weeks, but secured no benefit Ail this time I had been growing worse. I had become en tirely paralyzed from my waist down, and had partly lost control of my hands. Tho pain was terrible; my legs felt as though they were freezing and my stomach would not retain food aud my weight fe 1 away to 110 pounds. In the Albany Hospital they put seven teen big burns on my back one day with red-hot irons, and after a few days they put fourteen more burns on and treated me with electricity, but I got worse rather than better; lost control of my bowels ana water, and upon advice of the doctor, who said there was no hope for me, I was brought home, where it was thought that death would soon come to relieve me of my sufferings. Last Sep tember, while inth's helpless and suffer ing condition, a fr.'end of mine in Ham ilton Ont, call d my attention to the statement of ono John Marshall, whose case had been similar to my own. and who had been cured by the use of Er. Wi Hams Pink Piiis for Pale People. "In this csre Mr. Marshall, who is a prominent member of the Royal Tem plars of Temperance, had after four years of constant treatment by the most eminent Canadian physicians been j pronounce I incurable, end was paid the 51,000 total disability claim allowed by the order in such cases. Some months J t after Mr. Marshall began a course of treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and after taking some fifteen boxes was fully .restored to health. 'I thought I would try them, and my wife sent for two boxes of tho pills and I took them according to the directions given on tho wrapper in each box. For the first few days tho cold baths were pretty sevcro, as I was so very weak, but I continued to follow instructions as to taking tho pills and treatment, and even before I had used up tho 'two boxes of pills I began to feel beneficial effects from them. My pains were not so bad; I felt warmer; my head felt bet ter; mv food began to relish and agree with me; I could straighten up; the feeling began to come back into my limbs; I began to bo able to get about on crutches; my eye camo back again as good as ever, and now, after the use of eight boxes of the pills at a cost of SI sco! I can with the help of a cane only, walk all about the house and yard, can saw wood, and on pleasant days I walk down town. My stomach trouble is gone; I have gained ten pounds; I feci like a new man, and when thq spring opens 1 expect to be able to re new my organ and piano agency. I cannot speak in too high terms of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, as I know they saved my life after all the doctors had given me up as incura ble." Other citizens of Galway, seeing the wonderful cure of Mr. Quant by the Pink Pills for Palo People, are using them. Frederick Sexton, a sufferer from rheumatism, said he was finding great benefit from their use, and Mr. Schultz, who had suffered from chronic dysentery for jears, said ho' had taken two boxes of tho pills and was already cured. Mr. Quant had also tried faith cure, with experts of that treatment in Al bany and Greenville, S. C, but with no beneficial results. A number of tho more prominent cit izens of Galway, as Rev. C. E. Herbert, of the Presbyterian Church; Prof. .las. E. Kelly, principal of tho academy; John P. and Harvey Crouch, and Frank and Edward Willard, merchants, and many others to whom Mr. Quant and his so miraculous euro by tho use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo ple aro well known, were pleased to have tho opportunity of bearing testi mony to the high character of Mr. Quant, and of verifying the story of his recovery from the terrible affliction from which he had for so long a time been a sufferer. Truly, the duty of the physician is not to save life, but to heal disease. The remarkable result from the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in the case of Mr. Quant, induced the reporter to make further inquiries concerning them and he ascertained that they are not a patent medicino in the sense in which that term is generally used, but a highly scientific preparation, the result of years of study and careful experiment They have no rival as a blood builder and nerve restorer, and have met with unparalleled success, in the treatment of such diseases as paralysis, rheuma tism, sciatica, St Vitus dance, palpita tion of the heart, that tired feeling which affects so many, and all disease depending upon a watery condition of the blood or shattered nerves. Dr. Williams' link Pills are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, irregularities, and all forms of weaknesses. They build up the blood and restoro the glow of health to pale or sallow cheeks. In the case of men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry. overwork, or excesses of whatever na ture. On further inquiry tho writer found that these pills arc manufactured by tho Vr. Williams Medicine Company, Brockville, Cut, and Morristown, N. Y., and aro sold in boxes (never in bulk by tho hundred) at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50, and mJty be had of all druggists or direct by mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, from cither address. The prico at which these pills are sold makes a course of treatment comparatively inexpensive, as compared with other remedies or medical treatment. WEAPONS OF THE PURITANS. Thoy Used Gans Which Woaldat Shoot When It Rained. Tho precise population of New Eng land, citho Indian or white, at tho time of Phillip's war, cannot be stated; but, for the purpose of war, it may be said that the forces on ono side and on the other wero almost oqnal. At that timo tho Indians wore as will used to fire arms as the whites, but the firelock of th so days was but an inefficient weapon omparcd with the musket of later timo or with the rifle of to day. It 8 ems co. tain that in Europe flint locks had been introduced before this time; but tho Puritans still relied on tho matchlock The form of this can be readily explained to any perron who has socn the old flintlock of the present cntury. A ham'ner a good deal larger than tho hammer which after ward held the flint but quite like it--had a screw which tightened or loosen ed tho hold which two pieces of Iron had upon a match Fach soldier was obliged to carry some yard) of this match with him, and when tho battle began ho lighted the piece of this match which was fixed in tho hammer of the gun. A nan which held powder, e actly as tho pan of a i intlock afterward did, was in front of tho hammer, w th a cover projecting from which a sort of a horn ran up near ly crtical, to bo opened by the hammer when the soldier pulled the trigger. The fire of the match then communi cated with the powder and the gun went off. This was a sufficiently complicated way In which men should go into battle, per liars in a wilderness, whero even the procuring of fire at that time was at tended with some difficulty. The ac counts of skirmishes of those tlme3 was full of occasions when a sudden shower put a stoo to the whole battle. This is because the fire of the matches was ex tinguished by the rain. Heavy Blows at Blsnaarck. Senor CaBtelar, in a Spanish maga zine, violently attacks BIsmarok. Among other things, he says: "If Bismarck were in Parliament to-day he would re mind one of the plucked and cackling hen that the sophists placed in the room of Socrates. In that assembly where in former times he appeared' so proudly with his saber by his side, a helmet un der his arm, and a cuirass on his breast, and rattling his spurs as he walked, he would come now liko a little angry schoolboy. Among the very deputies that he used to crush with a strong hand and everwheim with ridicule and haughty sarcasm he would appear like Gulliver chained by the LlllputJans. History must bury him now, not like a despot, in urns of papyrus, but in the grave of a buffoon." How to See the Prince or Wales. It is apparently almost as difficult for a tradesman to gain entrance to Marl borough House, the London residence of the Prince of Wales, as it is to get within the lines of an armed camp. A narrow glass door in the right wing of the f.Iaee ls reserved for such visitors, and oaly those having an appointment previously arranged for by tho Prince e valets are admitted, while several sol diers and minor officers of the law are close about to prevent the admittance of undesirable persons. A "trade inter view" with his royal highness is said to last about three minutes. ... THE WORK OF CONGRESS PROCEEDINGS IN THE NATIONAL LEGISLATURE.
