broken. Rev. Father Leasont, Secretary of
the Bishop Of Natchitoches had died, making
the fifth priest of the diocese who had been
stricken down by the scourge. The number

Was Captain Hall Poisoned 2

HAD an interview with Morton, the
Second Mate, who was Captain Halls
favorite attendant during his last sickness
The statements he made he bade me not
disclose. They were, however, of so
startling nature that felt it my duty to
give them today to the Vice Consul TO
aid him in the Investigation he was pros
ecuting. / accordingly yesterday waited
on the Vice Consul and gave him my in
formation that he might get it officially
from Morton. He at once told me he had
already had these statements from Nor

of certain others was corroborative 80 far
of Morton's, and / am satisfied that the
Vice-Consul, who is lawyer, leans to a
theory seriously duplicating DIR. Bessel.
Morton says Hall and DIR, Bessel were
not on good terms. Hall returned from
the journey which preceded his fatal ill
ness in perfect health, and was only
short time in the cabin when, after taking
some coffee, he became sick and vomited.
He solemnly affirms that the Doctor told
him on the second day after Captain

OCTOBER.

THERE comes n month in the weg-y year
month of leisure and healthful rest;
ripe leaves fall, and the air is clear,
n: the brown, the crisp, the blcst
has little enough Of bliss:
'dgc the days of the odd eleven,
ting the time that shall lead to this
month that opens the hunters heaven.
OH for the mornings crisp and white,
With the sweep of the hounds upon the track;
baTkroofed cabin, the camp-fre's light
The break of the deer and the rifles crack.
Doyou call this trihingg l tell you friend,
A life in the forest is past all praise,
Give me dozen such months on end
You may take my balance of years and days.
For brick and mortar breed filth and crime,
And pulse of evil that throbs and beats;
And men grows withercd before their prime,
With the curse paved in on the lanes and streets.
And lungs are choked, and shoulders are bowed
In the smothering reek of mill and mine;
And Death stalks in on the struggling crowd,
But he shuns the shadow of oak and pine.
And OF all to which the memory clings,
There is naught so sweet as the sunny spots
Where our shanties stood by the the crystal springs
The vanished hounds, and the lucky shots.

Yet, crimson and gold and yellow and green,
Hush your low murmurs for have seen
A power that is subtle aud strong and keen
To bear you across Times river,
Where ashen garments never dcmcan
The radiant form OF autumn's queen,
But on through the ages in auroate sheen,
Batting no jot Of her royal mcn,
She gorgeously glows forever
Glad autumn leaves this benison ngers

The Power of the Heart-The me-
chanical power exerted by the heart in its
pulsations is something wonderful. 1t
has been shown that the hearts action
evolves force equal to that of raising its
own weight 20,250 feet, or nearly four
miles in an hour. A locomotive can only
raise its weight 2,700 feet in the same
locomotive More than this, it repairs
its own waste from wear an tear Other
calculations by different physicists double
this estimated power of the heart. Con-
siderng what it has to undergo, C the
heart bowed down with weight of woe"
is to be commiserated.

The embarrassments attending the
importation of Chinese women at San
Francisco are of the gravest description.
The other day fourteen bad ones arrived,
and, before the Protestant clergyman who
who undertakes their reclamation could
get access to them, they had been put on
their guard by male confederates. None
of them, therefore, would admit their i'm
moral purpose in immigrating; some said
they came to see their mothers, some to
hunt up sister, some to take in sewing,
etc. Eight of them consented to go to
also expert smugglers, and these were
completely swathed in silks. Upon the
fourteen women were found eighty-four
gowns and thirty-seven pairs of silk
trousers

The BlOW-Fly.

MR.. G. A. RowELL has recently made
an astounding calculation respecting the
blow-f1y. On the authority of Reaumur,
he states that one fly will produce 10000
eggs, which are Matched almost as soon
as deposited. Maggots issue forth, and
almost Immediately begin to feed, and
twenty-four hours increase their weight
200 times. In eight or nine days they are
full grown. They then assume the pupa
state, and, after another period of about
the same duration, come forth perfect
flies. A month, therefore, is rather more
than enough for a generation. Suppose
that of the 10000 eggs half produce
females, then in the first family there will
be 10000 flies, each capable of producing
10000 eggs. A very simple calculation
will show that at this rate, in less than
six months, the sixth generation will
number 2,000,O00,000,O ,O00, 900, 100000, 1000.
If every fly is half an inch long, quarter
of an inch wide, and the same in depth
that is to say, if thirty-two of them oc-
cupy cubic inch-there will be enough
to cover all England and Wales to the
depth of $500 miles, or the entire world,
both land and water, to the depth of
mile and quarter. Fortunately for af-
ternoon nappers, the juvenile bl0w-fy has
a terrible number of enemies, and very
rarely lives to attain parental dignity.

sentence Of alarshaI Bazainc.

The farce, in the name of trial,
which has been carried ON in the pal.
ace of the Trianon in Versailles, cul-
minated yesterday, and Francois
Achille Bazaine was found guilty of
the charges preferred against him,
and condemned to death. All the
members Of the court Immediately
signed petition for mercy, which the
Due d'Aumale carried in person to
President MacMahon. There can be
hardly doubt that the life of the old
hero will be spared. but his military
fame and name are indelibly tarnish-
cd to furnish scapc goat for French
pride and pique at the disastrous re-
suits Of the war with Germany. Ba-
zaine was born in 1911. and through a
long life has served in the army with
the greatest distinction. He was
made Marshal Of Franco September
5, 1864. Thus closes one of the most
notable military trials of history.

eral Jovellar this evening issued an
address to the inhabitants of Cuba,
saying: 1.-THE moment a treaty is sign
ed between the Government Of Spain
and the United States, my duty, al
though painful it may be, is to comply
faithfully with these terms. For this
I have received final orders, and a
failure to comply would produce a
war, and war with a great power
without the aid of Spain. In the
meanwhile obey the law of necessity,

Spanish Republic. Let us deliver up
the Virginus and the survivors OF her
passengers and crew. have faith IN
the nobleness of your procedures in
compliance with my word.

A dispatch from London states
that the crew of the Loeb Earn,
which collided with the Vile du
Havre, have arrived at Plymouth.
They were brought into port by
the British Queen, which took them
off the Loeb Earn. on the goth ult.,
the vessel then being in q sinking
condition. The statements of the
captain and crew Of the Loeb Earn
are most damaging to the officers
of the Vile du Havere, charging
them with neglect and cowardice.
According to their statements, the
captain and first mate came aboard
the Loeb Earn soon after the col
lision, and refused to assist in
saving the passengers on the ILL.,
fated steamer. The disclosures Of
the captain and crew Of the Loeb
Earn. II true, brand the officers Of

Il is announced that a bill will
soon be introduced into the House
of Representatives to extend sew
ing machine patent, which, if it
passes, will have the effect of con.
tinuing the monopoly in that article
for another series OF years. The bill
ought to be promptly defeated, and
the sewing machine monopoly
brought to speedy end. It has
already been continued long enough
to Iberaly reward everybody con
nected with it. Under existing
patents, as everybody knows, the
profits OH sewing machines ore i'm
mense, and the people are made to
pay quadruple prices for the pur-
pose Of adding to the revenues
of companies already immensely
wealth.. Whatever justice there
may be in issuing an original pat
ent, there is none in continuing it
in case like this, where the pro
prietors have already bcen largely
rewarded. The interests of the
whole people call for the cessation
of sewing machine patents.

The New York Times has most
hopeful article on the financial pros
poets, and it comes to the conclu-
sion that the general business of
the country is in q sound condition.
It concludes thus:
On the whole we have not bought
more than we can pay for, or raised
and manufactured more than we
can sell at q fair profit. If this
suppos;tion is not an incorrect one,
time will steadily bring improve
ment in general business. Sus
penended manufactures will be re-
sumed.-Trade will spread its ac-
tive agencies again over. the land.
Then, if we have the wisdom and
the courage to seize the opportu-
nifty for making our currency mon,
ey, and not dishonored paper, we
have o career of prosperity open
before us such as the past has not
witnessed.
With such q prospect, why should
any business man be discouraged!

The New York Times says that
the fact is well authenticated that
the banking firm of Henry Clew
& Co., having effected satisfactory
arrangements with most of their
creditors, contemplate o full re-
sumption of business within a few
weeks. The presentation of the
affairs of the house, made to the
creditors, averied any unfavorable
action, The house has opportuni
ties to resume business, and with
reasonable extension of time to pay
fully 100 cents on the dollar.

rupt, has, after all, not so bad time
of it. His creditors have allowed him
a weekly income of 800, pending his
case in bankruptcy, which, from its
enormous complications, is pretty sure
to last several years. QUIsroRP him
self had asked only the modest sum of
$50 week, and is accordingly enthu
siastic over the generosity of his cred
itors. The poorer classes Of his victims,
however. feel quite differently towards
the distinguished bankrupt. A crowd
of them attacked him the other day in
the street of Berlin. and would have
lynched him had not the police come

gained an cnviablc reputation from the At
lantic to the Pacific ocean, and from thence
in some of the first families of Europe, not
through the press alone, but by persons
throughout the States actually benefited
and cured at his Office. While he publishes
less, SO say our reporters, he is unable to sup
ply the demand. 1t gains and holds its rep

First. Not by stopping cough, but by
loosening and assisting nature to throw of
the unhealthy matter collected about the
throat and bronchial tubes, which causes
irritation.
Second. 1t removes the cause of irritation
(which produces cough) of the mucous menu
brane and bronchial tubes, assists the lungs
to act and threw off the unhealthy secre-
tons, and purifies the blood.
Third. 1t is free from squills, lObelia, ipe-
