"If you think you nro going lo dio, knock on tho wall," said South-worth. Tile Cliinaiuiin .said ho would, and went to bod. About 3 o'clock no.vt morning Sonthworth heard u knock­ing up stair.s, and going up found tho Chinaman in his doittb-bed agonies. The doctor, ipiitc alarmed, built a fire and mako anotlior hot whisky, the Chiuiiman calling out ut hitorvals that lio was going to dio .sure. Finally Sonthworth got a big drink of whisky into him, and lio remarked with a grunt of satisfaction. "Guess you go to bed now, I no dio."

Abont the closest shavo ovor made by nn American niorchantinan Avas Ihe oscajie of tho ship ..Vstoroid from tlio jirivaloor Ala-

'baina, the story of which is told by B. F . iS., in the San Fraucifioo Argonaut, Tbo narrative reads ns follows:

Our voyage continued prosperous, and nothing snspioions was discovered until one morning when AVO woro off tho Capo of Good Hope, as wo woro sailing along with a I'rosb breo/.o right aft, iu sight of 'Xablo Mountain, at tho entranoo of the harbor of Capo Town, with Capo LcguUas about twenty miles distant ou tbo port bow.

A close lookout AVUS constantly kept, aud before loug smoko, as if coming from a steamer close undor tho laud, apparently bound to tho eastward, was reported. Soon her hull ajipearod iu sight, and by the aid of a glass I niad.e out that she Avas a low, rakish-looking craft, neitlier liko aman-o£-Avar nor a raerchiint steamer, but at tho dis­tance she was from us it Avas impossiblo to loll delinitely Avhat sho Avas. Under the circumstances ifc made me feel very suspi­cious.

In a few moments she discovered ns, as was evident by hor altering hor course, and steering directly toAvard us, at tho same time hoisting the American Hag. I t'olt that it must bo tho famous Alabama, nnd that wo would bo safer out of hor compa­ny. Hut it Avas a caso of sails and Ktcani oomljined agaiust sails alono. Tho steam­er was closing up with us, and preaontly hor signals, asking "What ship is that'/" could bo road. 1 hoisted tho Ainoricnn Hag, feeling certain that tbe Ktoamer'.s Captain A V O U K I not bo docei\'ed in the build aud appearance of my vessel any inoro than I Avas in his, and if I was to be takeu I Avould fly my own flag to tho last. Tlie steamer thou hoisted the signal, "Heave to, I want to speak to you;" but instead of complying with this request I hauled my shi]) about four points to the southAvard, bringing the Avind on onr quarter, nud made all sail, Avhich increased our speed from eight to ten knots per hour. Seeing this ovolution, tho steamer throw off all disguise, hauled down tho "stars' nnd stripes," hoist­ed the "stars and bars," and fired a shot di­rectly at uo, bnt tho distance was too great, and it fell far short. 'Then the smoke commeucod to pour out of the steamer's f unuel in heavy, black volnmos, all' sail was made, and the chase began.

SloAvly and surely the steamer Icopt gain­ing on ns, sending shot after shot from their forecastle gun, but all fell short. Sho Avas now about three, miles, astern, rolling and pitching ia the sea, which was every minute growing heavier and heavier, the spray Hying over her at times so ns' almost to hide her from sight. . Tbo sea striking ua abeam would Avet us from stem to stern nnd send the spray u p to tho very tops. Tho intense excitement and anxiety. felt nt this moment ai'o more easily imagined thau described.

At intervals strong iluAVS of Avind be-tokoued a gide at hand. Already tlio wind had increased. Our' distance Irom' tho stonmer hud lessened; she Avas now only about a mile astern; occasionally a shot from hor forecastle gun came OA'er or near us. Thoy hoped to disable tbo ship in spars or rigging, but their aim was unoer-tniu, oAving to the heavy sea. HoAvever, more than once the shot Avent through sails aud rigging, fortunately doing uo ma­terial damage'. Noticing a commotion on deck; I called tbo mate to ascertain tho' cause. .He informed me that the crow Avere frightened, or protended to bo,; at the shots from tUe privateer, and expressed a doteiminatiou to tako in sail nnd let the Alabama como up with us to • prevent further risk of their lives. Fortunately I bad good officers, oa whom I could rely. I ordered them , to got; their revolvers, and told the steward to get mine. Then, mustor-ing the crow on the quarter-deck, I told them they Avero engaged in a serious mu­tiny, and the first man who refused duty or attempted to interforo Avith the orders of my officers would bo shot on the spot.; Thoy realized the situation, and promised: obedience.

Half the aftornoon Avas gone. .The sea Avas - rising - all the time and-, both ships strained heavily as they rolled to Aviudward with therpross of cauAras they .Avero carry-,' ing.' The stonmer could. nol: longer ;,Btand: the ,-stroin, ttnd,.in:-came her. .flight; sails.j Wheii l;8aAY',this'I felt. Bui''e';of „. ;:our:;; esoa'pij „ if,; the; wind .would only hold, its strongm.

highest spocl, nnd both doing their level host. Bnt she no longer gained on ns.

I kopl; off dead buforo tho wind on our course—duo east. Tliis brought the stoainer abeam, nho altering hor course an AVO did, hoping to keep ns iu sight until tbo Aviiul and sea nioderntod. Sho now closed up Avith UN as near as safely AVOuld iJorniit, and, hailing us, asked Avliore AVU Avoro bound, and Uoiiiandod Ihe surrondcr of tho ship to tho Coiifedornlo Goveriiinent. I niiKworod through my trninpot; "Conic and tako mo." Coiivorsatiou boing loo Blraiii-iiig for the lungs amid the howling of tho winds and rolling of the huge billows, nnd thu proximity of Ihe vessels loo dangerous, AVO s'eiinralcd a liltio, and liiid recourse lo blackboards In carr.v on onr conversation. Somnies asked Avlioro we Avoro bound. I nnsAVerod williout a blnsh "Melbourne," thinking possibly lie iiiiglit try lo iiitorcept mo if ho know I was to pass' thron.gh the Straits of Sunda. Then lie had the cliook to ordor to "Haul down your Hag and sur­rondcr, escape omo oscnpe," on a kind of parole, I suppose hu meant, I Avrolo on the hoard: "First capturo, then |iarolo."

'I'ho answer voxod him, 1 am sure, for ho iiiiinediatoly wrote; "Surrondcr, or S. will sink yon." I wrote: "That Avoiild bo niur-der, not battle." "Call it what yon Avill, I will do it," ho wrolo. "jVltonipt it, and liy the living God I will run you down, and wo Avill sink logollior," I Avroto in rojily. I knew his throat was vain, lor in that lieavy sea, rolling his snils under, he did not dine freo liis guns, wliich wero already doublo-liishod. 'flioy would have carried away liis tackle and gono Ihrough the hnhvarks over­board. Conscious that ho had mado empty threats, ho said uo more, but doggedly kopl on onr uonrso.

.Sail was still further reduced ou both A'Oflscls, as tlio wind kept iucroasing, and was now blowing a gale. 'Wo woro gnidu ally and nnrely drawing ahead of the fiteiiinor. It was UOAV growing dnrlc. lio .ioicing at my frirtiiuato oKca]io, I gave tho valiant .Sominos ii parliiig shot by hoistiug tho signal "Good-by." ;Di])ping the star-spangled banner as a saluto, I hauled it down, and tho steanier AVUS soon lost to sight In the davkiiosK. I nevor saw her aftor our oacapo, but, indirectly, she forced me to sell my ship in China soon aftor.

A Fc.ai-less Southern G i r l .

Sooiug au acoonnt iu your iinper of a heroic act of a yonng lady in pointing out a ford to Gouoral Forrest, aud having bnt recently read tho story in a Avork untitloil, "Tho Camiiaigiifi of Lieutenant Cicncrai N. B. I'orreot aud of Forrest's ^ Cavalry,'' by General '.l.'homiis .Tordan and J . P, ;i.'i'yor, I thought it might prove of interest to your readers to givo you their version of "t, as it will correct somo errors in that al­ready jinblishod.

'.I'ho seono of the transaction Avas on Black Crook, iu Northern Alabama, and it occurred whilo Forrest AVas in pursuit of Colonel Streighl, Avhom he captured soon aftor:

"Black Crook is doop and rapid, and its passage in tho imuiedialo iirosonco of tho '.''ederal forco Avas an im].iossibiIity before Avhich.ovon Fcri'ost was forced to pause and ponder. But, whilo rellocting upon tlio prodicaniout, he was api)roached by a groii]) of Avoineii, ono of whom, a tall, conioly girl of nuout oightoon yours of age, stepped forward aud inquired, 'Whoso coiuiiiaud?' 'The answer was: 'The ad-anco of General Forrest's cavalry.' ,Slio

then requested that General Forresl should be (lointod out, which boing dono, advanc­ing, sho addressed him nearly iu thoso

ords: 'You aro General Forrest, I am tnhl? know of au old ford to which I could guide

you if I had a horse; the yaukoos havo taken all of ours.'

"Hor mother, slopping np, exclaimed: 'No, Emma, pooplo will talk abont you.'

am not afraid, to trnst myself Avith as bravo a mau as General Forrest, and don't caro for people's talk,' Avas tho prompt re-.ioinder of this Southern girl, her faco ilhi-minatod Avith emotion.

Tbo General thou roiiiarkod, as ho rode bosido a log near by: •Well, miss, .iump ii)) behind nie.' Qnickly, or withont a mo­ment's hesitatiou, she sprang from tho log behind tho rocloubtablo cavalry loader aud sat ready to guide him—undor as noblo an inspiratiou of nualloyedcourageons patriot­ism as that Avhich has rendered tlie name of the Maid of Saragoza famous. Guided hy Jtiss Sanson, Forrest rodo rapidl,y, leap­ing over fallen timber, to a point about half a milo abovo tho bridge, where, at the foot of a ravine, sho said there was a prac-lioablo ford. There dismounting "they Avalkod to the rivor liaulc, opposite to Avhich on the other side was found posted a Fed­eral detacbniont, who opened on both iin-inediatoly wilh sinanarms,tho balls of Avhich whistled'eloso by and tore up Ihe ground in thoir front as they approached. Inquir­ing naively Avhat caused tho noise, and being answered Ihnt it was the sound of bnllolR.tho intrepid girl stepped in front of her companion, saying, 'General, stand behind mo; tboy Avill not daro to shoot mo.' Gently putting her aside, Forrest observed ho coi'ild not possibly permit hor to do so, or to make a breast-work of herself, and gavo her his arm, so as to screen her as much as possible. By this time they had reached the ravine.. Placing, hor behind tho shelter afforded by the roots of a fallen tree, he asked Miss Sanson lo remnin thero until ho could roconnoilor tho ford, nnd proceeded to at once descend the ravine ou his hands nud knees. After having gone somo fifty yards in this manner, looking back, to his suipriso and regret, she was immediately at his back; nnd, in reply to his remark that ho had told hor lo remain undor shelter, replied: 'Yes, General, bnt I was fearful that you might be Avonnded, and it Avaa my puipose to be near vou.'

"Tho ford's mouth reached nud exam­ined, thoy then returned as they came, through the ravine lo tho crowu of tho bank, under fire, whon she took his arm as beforo—an open mark foi- tho Federal sharpshooters, whose fire for some instants was even heavier than at first; aud several of their balls actually passed through her skirts, exciting tho obsei-A'ation, 'TheyhiiA'o Avounded my crinoline!' At the samo time withdrnAving her arm, the dauntless girl, turning around, faced tbo enemy, aud Avnved her sun-bonnet defiantly and ropoavedly in tho air. We nro pleased to bo able to re­cord that at this the hostile fire wnsstopped;

I the Federals took off their own caps, and, Avaving them, gavo ;three, hearty cheers of approbation! Eeinonnliug, Forrest niid Miss Sanson rolurued to.tho command, who received her vyith unfeigned enthusiasm.

"The nrtillery was sontforAvard,'and'Avith a foAv shells well. throAvu quickly drove UAvay tho Federal 4'unrd nt tbe ford, Avnioh Mnjor-McLemore.Avas direeted to seize Avilh his regiment." . , , ,. .

This occurred near Gadsden, Ala., about May 1, 1863, Avhile I find; from the same-source that Colonel Jeffrey Forrest,' tho youngest brother of the General, was killed

Sudcleiily iin old, Avhito-haired man, clad, iu tattered gariuouts, darted i)ast the door­keeper into tho hall, and hung liimself, sobbing, ujiou the commander's neck.

"I'risou—down South—Bnti'oring—tbreo years 1" ho oxclainied, in a pinoxysm o l emotion.

"Wluit!" cried tho commander, "another old vcteran'i' Wclconio, comrade, to our hninblo feast."

An onger group gatliorod about him, and a doy.ou quostions were asked.

"What year?" "Whiit'conipany?" "Libby?" ,-"Audcrsouviilo':'" "Castle Tliuiidor?" 'I'ho old hero waved his hand mniosti-

oally and said, as distinclly as ho eonhl: "llow can f rouall thu awful tale? My

bloodiug hoart shrinks from reopening its wounds. Lot tho boiiediolion of ponce Hood our weary souls with rest. I am an onio-tional old man."

"You aro right," said tho comnmudor, deeply toucliod by Ihc votoriin's words. "Let joy rule this hapjiy hour. Sit down and jiarlako wilh ns."

Thoy brought him rofreshments, Avhich ho soonicd lo approciato imineiisoly, aud ti'onled him iw their most honored guest. Ho ad,jnsled himself aronnd fourplati-s of beans, two pieces of jiic, and livo cups of ooll'oe, and then fell lo work steadily on the saiulwiclios.

''How Kweot," aaid ho at lengtli, "to moot Ihns, linked by tho iiidissolnble bonds nf fraternal lovel' Ah! how it fills my heart —and, slomiich! .Excuse me if I Avipo away a happy toiir. i am an oinolional old nian."

"And did llioy ti.cal,vou harshly in those roliol iirisoits''"

"•What rebel prisons?" askod the vet­oran.

"Did yon not say yon Avora iu a Sonthoru prison?"

"On, yos. I only got out last year. I got throe years doAvn iu 'Xoxas for borrowing a mnlo. It makes mo tired, now, lo think of it. 1 am an omo—:"

Tho corporal tried to strike him aud tho coinmaudor triod lo trip him and Iho door-koojier triod to grab hiin; but ho slipped from tho hall liko a bullet from a gun, and tho thought o!f the Avny in Avhich ho be­guiled Ihom rundured tho entire conqiany emotional in tho highust dogroo.—JJurt Ariiolil, ill Clriciifio Ledger.

Whilo tbo Seventh. Kentucky Cavnhy AVas 111 camp at Ihissollvillo, Ky., iu tho fall ot lH(j'.l, the writer had the honor of holding the honorable position of company cook ill Company l.l, of that organization, and of cour.so had chargo of all the rations isHuoct to it. '.riie provisions wore kept iu tho cook's quarters, » .Sibley tent with oue door opening on the street.

Yon havo no doubt heard that a cow is the grealo.st forager on earth, and will leave a corn pile to steal somolhiug nol half so good. Every night for somo lime a vil-la.go cow. in 'aeoordance AvitU this trait of critter "nature," Avonld put her head through tho foul door aftor AVO wore asleep and go for Aviiatovor was, iu sight. Hard tack, beans, coffee, sugar, or salt was all ono to her—-anything that did not belong lo hor sho would cat with a relish.

Aftor a while I got lirod of this, and triod shooting hor with beans, but that did uo good, and ttic idea came to uie lo try hor on mixed vegotahles. Y''ou Avill all ro-ineniber tho dosiccalod vegetables issued to us for making sonp, that Avould swoll about ton liiiios us much as dried apples. Wo had drawn a lot of it that day, aud, as tho boys Avove not very jiartial lo tho soup, I left it open AvheVe Miss Mooley coultl reach tbo box.

At night sho made short Avork ot that article, nnd evidently appreciated the change in her diet, but soou after she look a hoo-liue for lb': crook, as it Avaa rather dry grub." I followed to see Avhat AVonld happen.

'iho old cow walked ont iu tho walor and commenced drinkiug, and it seomod as though sho never could got enough. ' As aho drank sho SAvolIed,"and slid that soup material deniaiidod mofe Avater, until at last she aotnnJly burst Avith a roport liko tho Hell Gate ox)ilosion. Anyhow, tho noise AVUS SO groat that tho officers thought , AVO wore attacked, aud ordered tho loug roll benlon.

Tho remains o f tho dishonest cow Avero strewn about promiseuoiisly, and sho uovor stole again. J O H N A. B E N N E T T .

In an interview lately published, Colonel Bobort N. Scott, of tho War llecords Offico, told how the "frozen truth" of pen and ink look thofouudation ont from under a Avar memory. It rends as follows:

"As you go through tbe groat mass of documents do you find many things that are different from currently reported state­ments of events?"

"Mnny such things occur all tho Avhilo. It is astonishing how treacherous one's memory is Avhen ajjplied to events that oc­curred twenty or twenty-five years ago. This is seeu in tho current discussions that are goiug lorAvard all tho while in' tho lieriodicals. Men unconsciously add a littio liore and subti'act , a hltlo there and forgot a good deal more, and finally, the thing related boars no soft of semblance to the real thhig'that happened. .S. good illustration of this occurred only a few days ago.

Tho back a n d tho two sides o f the struct­ure aro .solid widls, tho front being O D o n , with large coluniils sli]iporling the roof. Tho building is 22.5.\.')0.\;iU. The front has a stono rail about four foet high running along tbo edge o f tho b a n k - . Thoro is 110 llooriilg but the solid earth.

From the centcf of the front a stono stairway about t o n foot wide loads down t o the river: T b o Liiid entranco in through archways in tho hack wall close t o the sides. Through thoso the bodies a r e carried f o r cremation. AVhen a body is brought down, the domes (tho lowest casto of Hindn, whose only business it is to burn bodies), of whicli thero aro a groat iilany, sing o u t : "Ihtri, Bol; liuri, Bnl" fspoak, God; speak, Godj. As the w r i t e r entered the building .some wooks ago, ft m a n ' s body had j u s t b e e n brought in a n d wns resting on the cot on wliich ho had diod, Ilis widow was leaning over tiao cot, cry­i n g and imploring the husband to return to lifo. .IJeiiind h o r stood her mother a n d sister. Aftor abotit twenty minutes one o f the domes informed h e r that i t w n s t i m e to got tho body ready for tho l i r e , The woma,n then took some g h e e (an oily preiiaration) and rubbed it on the head, shoulders, and feet of tho hotly. She entreated Iter husband to como back to lil'o, at which one of tho domes asked if her hnsbtind •was not a good IBrahinin, to whicli sho replied, "God's will i s r i g h t , " irnd t h e n

gave the orders to prepare the fire. The domes placed three t i e r S ' of logs at riglit angles •\vith each othor on some live coals, a n d the body was placed 011 the pile... The elbows, wrists, knee, and ankle joints were then broken, the legs bent back ou the back, nnd tlio arms placed under the back as the botly lay-ivith the face upward. This,

"as may be imagined, was the most try­i n g timo for the widow, and it was with great dilliculty that her relatives kojit her away from the pile. Three tier.s oi •rood were then jjlaoed on top of the body, and a little ghee was. poured on the fire,.whioh immediately blazed up. A l l present sang out: "Iluri, Bol; huri, Bol." The nearest relatives re-muiiieduntil the body was burned t q aslies, "While watching this cercmonj' the nativo kneeled at another .firo be­fore tho last remains 'of his w i f e .

He was swinging himself to antl fro. as the fire became dim. .'

Tho spasmodic agitation of tlio liuniau eyelid has conic to bo rncog-nizod as ft facile method of convoj'ing ideas. Suppose, for iiistniico, I wish to intimate that you can't tench your grandmother to ,suclc eggs, ]iy calmly cloising oue eye nnd thrusting my tongue into niy opposite check, I can express my moaning without making a noise. Some pcojile can't Avink; that is to say, thoy can't wink a solo, AViien-cver thoy wink, tlicy wink a duet. If they wiii'it to wink a solo, thoy have to li.ang ou to one oyolid with both hands.

You can form a general idea of a person's character when you know whether ho or sho is a winker or a non-•n'inkor. A man who ctiii't wink can't shiilllo cards nor iio a bow-knot. It isn't safo to swoiir in hia vicinity; he'll ju'.ay for you tlio lirst chance ho gets. Novor kiss a girl who can't wink, or she'll swell up and up nud burst. Non-winking females aro too good for tliis world; they ought to bo let loose iu s i i a c o . — H a r v a r d Lampoon.

• THURSDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1886.

Wnslilngtoii Lotler,

WASHINGTON, D , C , Dee. II, 1R8G, CoiiKress, i n less than a week fintn

its re-openinpr, has settled down to the lerioua consideration of husitiuss. The roasseuiblitij; oi both the senate anil house wore (locompaiiied by sounes cuatotilary nn Buoh occasions, There were the usual crowds of spectators in the galleries who looked down upon the same tuintiliuntiR didoiderly crowd on the floor oi the hoiise, all titlklnc: at oiiiie a n d at the top of their voices, and upon the quiet, slow moving m e n on the floor of the senate ohninber,

• w h o began the n e w session with as little flurry us o n any day ol the old one.

There were tho usual haiidshakiiif^s a n d oxebange o f greeliiiKS and flower bedeclted deslts, the democratic side beiii"; the mnst favored florally, which caused some iTpnhli cans lo remark that the change of flowers showed the change o f the adinitiistiatioa. To the victors belong the flowers.

Representatives A. S. Qox. and Abram Hewitt were the lions of opening day. When they entered tbe h u l l artii in nrm they were greeted with a round of applause. Mr.' Hewitt received con(;ratulatioits upon liis election to ihrf New York tiiayoniliy, and e.vpressions o f rogrel upon his retire-mont from congress. Those who Imd

• served in former congresses with Mr, Cox gathered around hitn cordially, and those who did not know him sought introduclioiis,

.Representative Sayera of Te.\as, who occu­pied last session the seat so long used by Mr. Cox, gracefully Burreadurcd it to its former ocfiupaiit and took the one vacated b y .Mr, Pulitzer,

Mr, Cox has already added to his record b y introducing a bill to prevent ropro.sunta lives from receiving two salnriiis at the same time. He thus manifests his inteiilioii to decline the congressional salary which has accrued since MnPtilitzer's resignulion, Eepublican papers gleefully distorted recent statement to make it appear that M Cox had applied for and was tryint; lo got two salaries—one as minister to Constan ' nople, and one as congressman, A matter of laet.he inquired of the comptroll ol the treasury as to the exact money d liim under tho law so that lie oonld act intelligently concerning it. Comptroll Durham told him he was entitled to hack pay siace Mr, Pulitzer resigned, and this b i l l just introduced shows what Mr. Cox

. intended at the time to do about it.

While the president's message takes one all over Europe, to the Satnoan Islands Siberia, tho Spanish Antilles, to .Me,'(icO| over South America, and into Canada and Alaska, the five topics which excite the strongest interest hero are the tariff, tho currency, the labor question, civil service and District of Columbia nlTairs, The tnrifT reformers aro all pleased and some of them are enthusiastic. The protectionists nay the message is conaervalive enough lor them, the ultra silver men make complaints aa was expected, and the republicans criti cizQ the document as a whole, and from force of habit.

Some of the moro sluggish members of congress predict that little can be done during the session beyond the paasiigo of the appropriation billa. Others eqnall wise say there i s more chance for wort during a short session than a long session at)d they expect to be very active from now iintill the fourth of March, In fact, there is but little temptation to domagoguisin and talking for votes now nnd tliere is no reason why this congress should not do iiiore i n January n n d February than i n all the previous months of its life. The mem hers are all either elected or defeated for the fiftieth congress, and more partisan riianeuvers will not affect them. Then by the committee work having been done las session bills are ready for action, nn legislation is in excellent position to be pushed to completion.

A STAETLIKG TACT. .Tt ia not commonlv Icnown that a largo

proportion of the rheumatism and neu­ralgia extant is traceable directly to the diseased condition or imperfect action of the kidneys and liver; therefore a remedy which cures the resulting disease must have found and smitten the first cause. Many persons using Athloplioros for rheumatism and neuralgia bave been surprised to find that chronic disorders of the liver and kidneys have also been greatly relieved and they have written for,an explanation.' The fact is, that tho remedy acts directly on these organs, cleansmg them from all irritating sub­stances and regulating their action. Taken in connection wilh Athlophoros Pills this is, v.'ilhout exception, the most valuable kidney and liver remedy in the world, and will cure a large proportion of those who bave these diseases.

rheumatism, principally in her arm, sho has now used two bottles of Athlophoros and is well and free from pain.

About March 2l3t my wife was taken with a severe attack of rheumatism, upper and lower limbs swollen badly; Buffered intense pain, and p.art of timo wtis obliged to remain in bed. Tried various remedies with no relief; was induced to try Athlo­phoros, May Ist, after taking six doses, the pain was entirely ^one andswellinj all reduced, Tho medicine has worket like a charm, and I feel assured that another bottle or two will give positive cure. Yours truly,

rroiii .Tail to Coiigres.s. "When Daniel Wobator was in De­

troit in I83()," said Levi .lil. Dolsen to a .Detroit Tribune reporter, "ho made a speech in tho old Ca.s.s orchard, about where •!. i\ Joy's house now staiuls. After tlio .spoccli I romcmhor, in .speak­ing to mo of our lo]ii'oacntativc in Con­gress at that time, the Hov. (labricl ilichard, he paid Jlr. Eicliard tho liigh compliment .of saying that he wns the smartest foreigner ho hnd over known.

"There wns an interesting incident connected with the election of Kichard to Congroas. Ho was a Catholic priest and camo of tho host blood of France. When tliollcvolution was bolioading all the nobility tho Eov. llichai'd was nearly caught liy Pobospiorro. Ho jiimpod from a vviuilow, aud a -woman thro-vv a teapot and oiit aii ugly gash in his olioclc, the scar of which was in l)lain view to the end of his life, .•\ftor living- for sovorai days iu tho sewers of .Pari.s ho e.sctipccl tuiclreadied Baitimoro in 179(i. Two years Ititcr, in 11178, lie reached Detroit. His .statue is ouo of tho four' on tlio city liall. Iu 1S23, just about tlio time tho reverend gentleman was elected to Congress, a man named Labadio tlosorteel his wife in IMbntreal, camo to Dotroit, married again, and on-gaged in tlic mercantile business. Ho was oxeoinmiiuioatcd from tiie cliurch liy tho liev. Father Eicliard, and tlio Preach people, ^yho liad beon his prin­cipal patrons, stopped trading with him. Labadio iirooiired the arrest of tho priest for alaudej', and he -was confined in jail. AA'liou tire time came lor him to go to dougross the turnkey entered the corridor one morning, whon tho priest apiiroaclied him with majestic mein nnd a lofty wave of the liand and said;

" 'Stand aside, 1 am on my wny to Congress.' . .

'"The turnkey was so overwliclraod with the majestic bearing of the man that he oU'erod no opposition, aud Father Eicliard took his seat on time. Labadio afterward sued him and got a judgmout of §1,100, but never collected a cent."

emerged from the house and'caught his son counting out a roll of bills, "whero'd you git all that money?"

"Oh, I've been settin' in at a little game of poker all morning."

"iTohn!" and the old gentleman's tone was stern, "do-you mean; to - say that you havo been tempted by that insid­ious device of the devil? 1 am aston­ished at you—after all my teachings, toojiTohn, follow-me tothe woodslitjtl."

"Oh, father, I didn't mean any harm," blubbered' tho hoy; "I just ran across a couple of tenderfoots from the East who couldn't play poker even a'little 'bit, and v/e had a quiet little game,"

"You did, oh?'" and the old man delved in tho wood-pile for a suitable shingle,

"Yes; and ouo of those fellers tvas the biggest fool 1 ever saw; why, father, he holcl two pair onco and bucked • agin' my four of a kind for near half an hour; it was a jack-pot, you kuow, an' I stood 'pat' an' he—"
