as long as could with the disease, and then die. On
my way home stayed over night in Portland with
q friend of mine, and told them what my mind

TO go and see Mrs Manchester. She examined me
and told me my case exactly.

correctly, that told her that would take her medi-
cines, not having the least faith that they would do
me any good. that should get the slightest relief
from any course whatever; finally took the medi-
cine and went home. In one week from the time !
commenced taking the medicine, had over three
gallons of water pass me in hours; and my fell

to me. had not been able to lie down in bed at
night before this for two years. Now can lie down

tinually grew worse. came to the conclusion, as
the last resort to go and Mrs. Manchester, and
did SOL and to my great surprise she told the first
cause of the disease, and how she had been from time
to time, which encouraged to try her medicines.
Ibid so. and now my daughter is able to be around

The Arrest of Mr.. Giddings.

The New York Post gives a complete histo-
nv of the affair in which Mr.. Giddings, Consul
General to Canada, has become involved,
showing that the whole trouble grows out of
the indiscretion Of a Montreal detective Off
Ger, who obtained from Mr.. Giddings letter
to Police Superintendent Kennedy of New
York, recommending that an assistant re-
quired by the Montreal officer in taking
criminal to that city should be paid for his
services. After getting this letter the Canadl-
an officer arrested a man named Kedpath, In
Montreal, who had boosted of his participa-
ton in the New York riots, showing the letter
of Mr.. Giddings as his authority. He then
notified the New York Police authorities of
the arrest, but without needing the reply re-
ceived to hold the offender until requisition
could be obtained, started at once for New
York with the man, andthus missed a dispatch
saying that Redpath was not wanted, as there
was no indictment against him. The Canadi-
an officer therefore arrived i'm New York only
to discover that he had made blunder. Red
path, who is unfavorably known to the New
York Police in number Of ways, voluntarily
signed paper saying that he accompanied the
Canadian officer to New York voluntarily, but
seems afterward to have thought the affair a
good opportunity to extort money, and so
brought the charge of kidnapping against Mr..
Giddings. The Post says there is little doubt
that Redpath attempted regular confidence
swindle upon the police, with the hope to get
up a suit for damages and get money of some
