Dom PedrO's Father.

Apropro OF Dom Pedro's visit to this
country. an Interesting story is told. 1t
will be remem bered that iu 1922 the
Brazlians rebeled against Portugal un-
der The oppressive acts of the Corles,
proclaimed their independence, aud con-
ferred the imperial crown on Dom Pedro,
the son of John VI. of Portugal, then
regent during his fathers absence. This
was the father OF the present Dom Pedro.
lie ruled till 1881. when forced to it by
growing dissatisfaction. which eliminated
in short but violent revolution. he alb
dicated in favor OF his son. Popular
feeling against him was bitter, and his
personal safety was threatened so that he
was forced to conceal himself.
II was at this juncture that Stoning-
ton vessel put into Rio Janero with
cargo consigned to the British consul at
that place. Her master was Capt. Thos.
Dunbar, of Stonington, an old sailor,
with the courage OF lion and the heart
of child. He lay in port some days.
discharging and receiving cargo. and
was at length ready to sail. The night
before his departure the British consul
sent for him 10 come TO the consulate,
and after long preliminated converse
ton. told him that the emperor was in
hiding in his house, and asked Capt.
Dunbar TO aid in his escape. This the
latter at once consented TO do. The
question then arose how it should be
effected. The wharves and water fronts
were lined with police and soldiers,
watching for the royal fugitive. and
escape seemed impossible. A plan was
finally agreed upon, and in the end
proved successful.
The ship, which lay at one of the
wharves, was got ready for sea the next
morning. and was on the point of getting
under way when the captain suddenly
recollected that he had forgotten 10 take
his ship bread aboard. A me ssenger
was accordingly dispatched, and in some
way it was procured at the consulate. A
wagon load of biscuit in barrels was sent
down and rolled across the wharf and
into the vessels hold In one of them
was Pedro |. The ship got under way,
and when safe from pursuit the cask was
opened and he was liberated, nearly ex-
hausted by his position. The ship came
to Stonington, where ne landed un-
recognized, and whence he lett for
Europe. lie made Capt. Dunbar a pres
ent OF 5000 for his service, which at the
time was considered muni6cent reward.
Capt. Dunbar frequently related the
story in later years, and in an exceeding
ly graphic manner. He lived to be over
eighty, and died few years ago at the
residence of his son-in-law, Capt. Hall,
near Westerly, K. |.

Ayers Ague Cure,

For E6VeE ana Ag1e, intermittent Fever,
Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague,
Periodical or Bilious Fever, &c, and indeed
al the affections which arise from lnaIari-
Ouss marshs or nlasmGtic pCisons.
This is 4 compound remedy, prepared with
SC tific skill from vegetable ingredients, which
rarely fails to cure the severest cases of Chills
and Fever and the cOncomitant disorders. Such
q remedy the necessities of the people in mala-
rious districts demand. Its great superiority
over any oti: medicine vet discovered for the
cure of Intermittents is, that 1t contains no qui-
nine or mineral, and those who take it are free
from danger of quinism any injurious effects,
and are healthy afj -- using it - before. 1t
has been extensively employed during the last
thirty years IL the treatment of these distressing
disorders, and SO unvarying has been las success
That itha- gained thc reputation of being infal-
GbIe. 1t can, therefore, be safely recommended
rs 4 sure remedy and specific for the Fever and
Ague Of the West, and the C12iIIg and Fever of
the South. It cOunteracts the miasmatiC poison
In the blood, and frees the system from its inhu-
rncc, so that fever and ague, shakes or chilIs,
once broken up by it, do not return until the
disease is again contracted.
The great variety of disorders which arise from
the irritation of this poison, such Neuralgia,
rheumatism, GOut, Headache, Blindness,
TOothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Pal
pitatiOn, Splenic Affections, HISTORIES, Pain
in the Bowels, Collie, Paralysis and derange-
Of the Stomach all of which become internt-
tent or periodical, have no speedier remedy than
AYERS AGUE CURE, which cures them all alike
and protects the system from future attacks. As
q preventive, it is of immense service in those
! communities where Fever and Ague prevails, as
it stays the development of the disease if taken
the first approach Ofthe premonitOry symp-
toms. Travellers and temporary residents are
| thus enabled to defy these disorders, and few
will ever suffer if they avail themselves Of the
| protection this remedy affords.
| For Liver Com plants, arising from torpidityr
it is excellent remedy; it stimulates this organ
| into healthy activity, and produces many remark
able cures where other medicines fail.
