A New Trick.

SOME days since business man of this
city received a letter from party in Gin
cinnati signing himself o. III. Dawson,
which said that a young man named
George Adams had just died at a certain
number on Pine street, in that city.
Adams, the writer said, had the address
of the DetrOiter in his wallet, leading to
the belief that the two were acquaintance.
The young man had died suddenly, and
the little money he had went to pay his
doctor bill He was in debt to the writer
S1S for board, and among his effects was
a gold watch worth 5000. Dawson
wanted to know if it would be right for
him to pawn the watch for that sum, stat
ing that he was poor and needed the
money. If the DetrOiter wanted to send
the SIS the watch would be forwarded by
express, and he could hand it over to
Adams relatives and receive his money
back. The Detroiter had never been &C
quainted with young man named George
Adams, and the letter puzzled him not a
little. There was chance to secure a
gold watch for $18, or to carry it for a
while and get his money back, and he
decided to send on the money. After a
week had elapsed without the watch ar
irving he grew suspicious and telegraphed
to a resident of Cincinnati, whom he
knew, to call and see Dawson The man
went, and telegraphed back: "No such
number on Pine street, and no such man
known here; he's swindler" And that's
lust what the DetrOiter thinks. Detroit

the other commenced to pocket the money.
A struggle for life or death ensued between
Heath and his adversary. At the climax of
the desperate fight Heath drew his revolver
and fired, the muzzle resting against the rob-
ber's head. The latter instantly expired and
Heath tainted. subsequently he came to and
gave an alarm. The confederate of the de-
ceased escaped from the car, taking with him
about s., 700.

Pasigraphy.

Two centuries ago Cave Beck wrote a
book explaining his scheme for an uni
versal language. A publisher ventured
to print it, but the work fell still-born
from the press. The slow going world
has at last caught up with Beck. "Pasi-
graphical Unions" designed to put his
plan into practice, have been formed.
They are most numerous in Germany, es-
pecially in Bavaria, but they also exist in
Hungary, Russia, Italy, England and
France. Attempts are now being made
to organize unions in Montreal and San
Francisco. The plan is as follows: Fig
ures are used for words. Between 4, 1000
and 5000 words in common use are writ
ten alphabetically and numbered in order.
A pasigraphist has but to write the figures
corresponding to the words he wishes to
use, and every other pasigraphist can
translate the message into his own Ian
guage. We quote letter recently sent to
DR.. Anton Bachmaier, President Of the
Munich Pasigraphical Union:
1887, 1884, 1855, 7O9 24O9 1875 1905, 1872 795

Translated into English, this reads:
DE- DEAE sIR@When you call here, IL, l have some
SAMUEL BIRCH.
The line under 553-which means
book, buch, Ji0re, etc-shows that it is in
the plural. A figure denoting a verb,
when marked through the center, means
the past tense. When Overscored, it
means the future.
The plan seems quite good one. The
list of 5000 words, once learned, must
suffice for all ordinary purposes. MezzO-
fanti considered himself able to speak
any Language as soon as he had learned
$50 of its words. The English agricul-
ural laborer is said to use only $50 words
b is daily talk Pasigraphy will scarce
~, however, make the great works of lit
erature common property. People who
think in figures of speech cannot readily
put their thoughts into figures that repre-
sent words. Imagine Coleridge writing:

Succf IS Based Upon Merit.

1t is subject of general remark among
both wholesale and retail druggists that NO
medicine introduced TO the American pubIic
has ever gained such popularity and met
with so large a sale in all parts of the land. in
the same length of time as Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. This cannot depend upon
its having been more largely advertised than
any other medicine, as such is not the case.
The correct explanation, we think, is found
in the fact that this medicine produces the
most wonderful and perfect cures of very had
cases of bronchial, throat and lung diseases.
is undoubtedly the most perfect and efficient
remedy for all kinds of coughs that has ever
been introduced to the public, and at the same
time possesses the greatest of blood-purifyipp
and strengthening properties that medical
cieGce has been able to produce, thus render
ing 1t a sovereign remedy not only in the cure
of Consumption, Bronchitis, HOarseness and
Coughs, but also for all diseases of the liver
and blood, as scrofulOus diseases, blotches.
rough skin, pimples, black specks and discol-
oratiOns. 1t has, therefore, a wide range of
application and usefulness. and it not only
gives the most perfect satisfaction to all who
use it, but far exceeds the expectations of the
most sanguine, thus eiciting the loudest
praise, and making permanent hgiBg advertis-
lug mediums of all who use it. For these
reasons 1t Is that there is not perhaps a drug
gist in all the vast domain of this continent
who tries to please his customers and supply
their wants that does not keep and sell large
quantities of this most valuable medicine
