LONDON. October 2l,-It is announced
that Bismarck refuses to allow the for

communicate with their government,
through the Prussian lines, except by
means of open dispatches. Egress is
debarred to the diplomats themselves.
Papal Ministers, and the Columbia
Minister, who had applied for safe
conduct to enable them to leave the
city, were advised that their departure
would be prevented. The Prussian au-
thorities raised difficulty to the depar-
ture of these personages, and this action
may lead to decided protest from the
other diplomats in Paris. On Friday
and Saturday last, several eminent for

settles. 1t is believed their movements

All About a Bull.


From the Lesvenworth Independent, l5th.l
1t appears that Pryor l.. Felkner and
Joel T. Wright, both residents of John
son township, had for several years had
grudge against each other concerning
bull which Felkner had charged Wright
with killing. Both parties had been in
the habit of going armed, in anticipation
of o difficulty whenever they should
meet. On Tuesday last II seems that
Felkner had started to the voting place
nth the avowed intention Of whipping
Wright. Wright left the polls about 3
o clock IN the afternoon and started
bone. On the road he met Felkner
coming in on horseback. EhaH few
feet from Wright Feikner remarked to
some one that was with him: 'Yonder
comes my bull Wright retorted:
,'Well, you had better salt him" One
word brought on another, until Felkner
proposed 70 Ggh. Wight. To this Wright
objected, saying be did not Wish 20 have
any difficulty. Felkner then started
toward Wright, with his hand in his
pocket, as if trying to draw weapon.
Wright, who was armed with rife i'm
mediately brought the weapon to his
sboglder and fred. Felkner continued
10 advance, having drawn his pistol by
this time. and vas Gring at Wright:
Wright drew little fouF-shootss, and
commenced returning the fire. At the
second shot from Wright, Felkner fell,
having fred FIVE shots at Wright without
effect As soon as Felkner fell, Wright
TOOK 70 the woods and has not yet been
arrested IA eSsmination Of Felkner's
wound proved that he asd beep shot
through the chest and heart by the hFst
sboi Gsed by Wright, as was proven by
the examipstisg Of the ball, around
which was still found the patching used
in loading the rife. Felkner fired the
1--WE shots after he had been MORALLY
wounded, ~ We expired Immediately
after he fell, and tbs wife shot was the
only wound about his person.

The preliminary plans for observation
and report of storms by telegraph and
signal for the beneftof commerce, under
military control, provides, among other
things, for the stationing Of observers at
points throughout the United States,
selected by competent authority, will be
most useful as indicating the condition
of the atmosphere on the approach of
storms. 1t has been in view, to so locate
these stations that the existence of a
storm at one OF more of them being de-
termined, information of the fact may be
had by the regular reports communicated
by telegraph in advance of its probable
movement. Copies of all reports will be
furnished to the different papers for pub
LEGATION, and each report will be bulle-
tined in the Board of Trade rooms, or
other conspicuous places, Immediately
upon its receipt Whenever experience
has certainly determined what may be
regarded for any section of the country
as premonitions of approaching storms,
signal stations will be established as
quickly as the necessary arrangements
can be made, and signals will be dis
played announcing the probable APP
,proach, with other information which
may be possible Observations will be
taken three times day.

SPECIAL NOTICES.


sist that 1t is undignihed to advertise rem
edy, however valuable it may be. Queer
reasoning this. 1t is like saying that an ar
ticle which the world needs should be hid in a
corner-that benefits and blessings may be too
widely diffused-that the means Of protecting
and restoring health should be close monop-
oily, and not accessible to all. The argument
is bad. 1t is worse than that; it is inhumdn.
Suppose Hostetter's Stomach Bitters-an alb
solute specific for dyspepsia. biliousness and
nervous debility-had never been known be-
yond the repertoire Of the faculty. what would
have been the consequence Instead of curing
and inyigorating millions, the good effects Of
the preparation would have been confined to a
comparative few. There is the highest au-
thority for saying that light should not be hid
under a bushel; that whatever is excellent
should be placed as a city on hill. where all
men can take cognisance it. tits upon this
principle that the Bitters have been advertised
and continue TO be advertised in every news
paper Of any prominence in the western hem
isphere. and that the spontaneous testimo-
mails in its favor have been translated into all
written languages. Thousands enjoy perfect
health to-day who would be languishing on
beds of sickness If the newspapers had not
spread he truth Nth regard 10 tbs unequaled in
piOoraMf aDd eorrecfire far and wide. Suppose
profit hasbeen reaped from this publication.
Is that any argument against ii? If the public
health has been protected; If lives have been
saved; if the feeble have been strengthened
and the sick restored great good has been ac-
complished; and who so mean as to grudge to
exertions thus directed their fair reward?
