the other day that Mary is a very COM

bearing it. This plan.was to station him
self at an advantageous position on one
of our thoroughfares, address by that
name every woman who passed in an

answered to the name with the whole
number passing. = Nothing could be sim

put down two marks on the side of his

A singular and most tedious extradi.
ton case has just been decided in the sur.
render of an alleged brigand to the
Italian Government. This man, Giacomo,
is charged with being one of band OF
robbers, who, in 1867, made the vicinity
of Naples a terror to respectable and
moneyed strangers. One of the victims
of these brigand was slain, and the ex-
tradition of Giacomo, who fed to the
United States was sought upon the
charge of murder. It was argued that as
the Offense was committed in 1867, and
the extradition treaty was not concluded
until 1868, the prisoner could not be
legally be returned to Italy. The de-
cision of the United States Circuit Court,
however, made the treaty retroactive,
and sen DIS the alleged brigand back to
Naples. Whatever may be the legal
principle involved in such case, it will
be conceded that the decision is entirely
in harmony with growing sentiment in
favor of international extradition for all
but political oaenses.- York Times.

A correspondent of the Chicago Inter-

Arkansas Valley, looking westward late
in the afternoon on most delicate and
exquisite lavender haze which hung over
the earth like the smoke of a perfumed
censor. At the same time, in the east
opposite the sun, radiating from an orr

there was a halo Of manifold tints, such

7 ours truly,


When medicine will promptly cure such
terrible eating ulcers and free the blood of
the virulent poison causing them, who can
longer doubt its wonderful virtues? Dr..
Pierce, however, does not wish to place his
Golden Medical Discovery in the catalogue
of quack patent nostrums by recommending
IL to cure every disease, nor does he so rec
ommend it; but what he does claim is this,
that there is but one form of blood disease
that II will not cure, and that disease is
cancer. He does not recommend his Dis
covery for that disease, yet he knows il to be
the most searching blood cleanser yet dis
covrred, and that il will free the hood and
system of all other known blood poisons, be
they animal, vegetable or mineral. The
Golden Discovery is ,pdrrdnfed by him to
cure the worst forms of Skin Diseases, as all
forms of Blotches, Pimples and Eruptions,
also all Glandular Swellings, and the worst
form of Scrofulous and liberated Sores of
Neck, Legs or other parts, and all Scrofulous
Diseases Of the Bones, as White Swellings,
