Diamond Rheumatic Cure.

This medicine is prepared by a careful, expert
to the desire OF numberess friends in the profe
in the trade, and among the people. Every bottle
is warranted to contain the full strength of the med
cine in its highest state of purity and evelopment
and is superior to any medicine ever compounded
FOR this terrible complaint.
In simple cases sometimes one or two doses suf
flee. In the most chronic cases it is sure to give
way by the use of four or five bottles. by this ell
cient and simple remedy hundreds ef dollars are
saved to those who can least afford to throw it
away. as It surely Is by the purchase Of useless
prescriptions.
This medicine Is for sale at all Druggists through
out Canada and the United States. Ii it happens
that your Druggist has not got 1t in stock, ask
him to send for it to any of the wholesale drug

An interesting incident of the Cen
tennial, says the Boston Herald was the
opening of box of cigars which was
manufactured in 1850 by Cyrus Green
(aftcrward of revolutionary fancy at a
well known place of business ON Tre-
mont street. The cigars were found
in n good state of preservation and of
fine flavor, as the favored few who had
the good fortune to enjoy their fra
GRANGE testified. Three of the cigars
were forwarded to President Grant,
and he will no doubt appreciate the gift
The remainder were again packed in
an air tight case with a copy Of the

OF the celebration and marked: "This

Fond of the River.

An aged couple from Vermont who
are visiting some relatives In this city
appear to take peculiar delight In visit
ing the river front. When not seated un-
der the shed of the Detroit d Milwau-
kee Railroad dock they may be found
on one of the ferry boats crossing and
rccossing the river for hours at time.
They sitclose to the ratings, watch the
motion of the boat and. view the ship
ping with a pleasure which almost bor-
ders ON monomania. Whenever stea-
mer a or sailing vessel chances to
pass by the old man jumps up and en-
Enthusiastically swing his hat about while
his wife waves her large blue cotton
handkerchief to the sailors. saturday
afternoon reporter of The
Free Press had a conversation with the
old couple, They informed him that
they had never seen boat Of any kind
before they came out here, although
they had "hearn tell on 'em in the
papers," During the time that the
United States steamer Michigan was
anchored off the foot of Woodward
avenue they were taken on board In
small boat manned by uniformed tars.
They inspected the armament with
which the boat is provided with won
derment and awe, and when one of the
officers explained to them the use of
the ecompass theirastonishment knewno
bounds They are particularly fond
of bright bulting, and whenever they
see vessel which is decked in holiday
attire they jump about and dance like
two children. The ferry boat captains
all know them, as do also the hands
employed on these boats, and the old
couple are treated with great respect
by all with whom they become ac-
quainted. They intend to take one
"big" ride before they return to New
England. Free Press.

i'll, the Plymouth pastor has been de.
tanned at Peeksville to get in his crop
of hay. He expected to finish his
farm work yesterday, and TO return by
the early train this morning, and will

Mr.. Tilton was very much dlsap-
pointed yesterday at not hearing that
the jury were to be called down. He
had not missed single session of the
court, and hoped to have attended
every one to the close. Ho was in
very good spirits in the evening, and
spoke of the almost certain disagree

said, "who does not live in Brooklyn

brought to bear on every part Of

A CHARAVARI AND IT'S RE.
SUITS.
A Riot-Seyeral Wounded Men.

Last night about 10 o'clock the news was
circulated in the neighborhood of Poydras
and Broad streets that the Widow Gallus
Fahrmann had linked herself to a new
mate.
The young men in the neighborhood, de.
termined upon a frolic, collected all of the
available tin pans, kettles end drums that
were to be had, and proceeded to charavari
the newly married couple. Scarcely had the
clanking of the improvlsed instruments COM
menced when the newly made Benedict
came out and demanded that he be left to
enjoy his peaceful slumbers.
The request was refused, as several of the
serenaders had partaken of considerable
Liquor, and the consequence was a general
riot. Knives, pistols and clubs were the
weapons used. One man, whose name could
not be aseertained, was dangerously cut under
the right shoulder. blade; while two of the
rioters had their skulls split open, and a
fourth received blow upon his arm which
dislocated the elbow.
The riot may have led to more serious re-
suits had not a squad of mounted police come
upon the scene of action, when the crowd
dispersed, and bore away the wounded men.
The names of the injured parties could
not be ascertained by the reporter who went
to the spot, as the crowd was rather reticen,
upon the subject, fearing an arrest

THE SPIEL MARK GAME.
A Stranger Robbed.
An Old Penitentiary Bird Arrested.

Last night at o'clock strange man ap
peared at the Third Precinct Station, and
asked for lodgings, giving his name as VIM
II. White, from Henry county, Ga.
Officer Stolenburger, who Intercepted the
stranger, suspected that something was
wrong, and inquired more closely into the
case. White told him that he had arrived in
the city, by the Chattanooga Railroad, on
Wednesday evening, and that on Thursday
afternoon he had been robbed. While walk
ing on the Levee, two negro men approached
him and asked if he desired to make some
money; his answer was. 1T don't care if do u
They then inquired if he had any money;
he said. 81 have nine dollars" and was about
to take it out of his pocket when the butt of
his revolver was displayed to view One of
the negroes then told him that they would
give him twenty dollars in gold for his pistol
and money. To this he assented and for a
while went his way rejoicing until he found
that the gold piece was worthless, only being
a spurious coin known as a "spiel mark.
Officer Stollenberg, when he had heard the
man s statement, asked him if he could re-
cognize the parties. Receiving an answer in
the affirmative, the two proceeded to the
corner of Crossman and Levee streets, where
the stranger pointed out man, known
as Spencer Mcclellan, who was taken in
charge and conducted to the Third, where a
800 counterfeit bill was found on his per-
son. Mcclellan is well-known confidence
man, and has already served two terms in the
Louisiana Penitentiary.
