DR.. K. V. PIERCE, Buffalo, N. Y: Dear
Sir-lt is with happy heart that l pen
these lines to acknowledge that you and
your Golden Medical Discovery and Purga.
tive Pellets are blessings to the World
These medicines cannotbe too highly praised,
for they have almost brought me out of the
grave. Three months ago l was broken out
with large ulcers and sores on my body,
limbs and face. | procured your Golden
Medical Discovery and Purgaive Pellets,
and have taken six bottles, and today l am
in good health, all those ugly ulcers having
healed and left my skin in natural, healthy
condition. | thought at one time l could
not be cured. Although l can but poorly
express my gratitude to you, yet there is .
drop of joy in every word l write. Gods
blessing rest on you and your wonderful
medicines is the humble prayer OF
Yours truly,
JAMES O. BELLS.
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
1t to cure every disease, nor does he SO rec
ommend 1t; but what he does claim Is this,
that there is but one form of blood disease
that it will not cure, and that disease is can
Ger. He does not recommend his Discovery
for that disease, yet he knows it to be the
most searching blood cleanser yet discov-
cred, and that it will free the blood and sys-
TEN of all other known blood poisons, be
they animal, vegetable or mineral. The
Golden Discovery is warranted by him to
cure the worst forms Of Skin Diseases as all
forms Of Blotches, Pimples and Eruptions,
also all Glanduiar swelings, and the worst
form of Scrofulous and liberated Sores OF
Neck, Legs or other parts, and II scrofulous
Diseases Of the Bones, as White SwelliDgs,
Fever Sores, Hip Joint and Spinal Diseases,
all Of which belong to Scrofulous diseases.

They were irresistible, and swarming
over the place they demolished the

some mercury from the battery cups,
and proudly exhibited it. The Ninety

the boats will hold of the crowd that
viewed the blast from Harlem, and in a
short time the grounds are black with
the moving, shouting, excited crowd.
Even the wires on the poles leading to
the ferry battery were cut down and
stolen, and it required all Gen. Abbott's
energy to save his special wire.

A General Revival in Business.

There has not been a time within the
past ten years when there we're as many
strangers in town as at present. All the
hotels are packed and unable to provide
the necessary accommodations, boarding
houses are filing up, and the streets are
alive with visitors. The natural conse-
quence is a revival of trade, for the re-
tail dealers are doing a splendid bust
ness: confidence and hope are enIivened,
money is moving, and enterprise is once
more awakened. In almost all of the
downtown houses the guests have been
obliged to "double up" In one of the
houses well known to Western men it
was found necessary to put cots in the
parlors. In some of the hotels around
Washin gton Market no rooms are to be
had, and hundreds are daily turned away.
A large east-side house, generally patro-
nized by Eastern people, is affected as
are the others by the Centennial travel.
At one Of the larger downtown houses
numbers were turned away on Saturday
evening and all night long, and yester-
day people we're clamering for what the
clerks could not give-rooms. The
scene on Saturday evening in and
around this house was singular. Men
and women stood in groups eagerly dis
cussing their chances of obtaining places

TEXAS COURT SCENE.

Restores Order with Six-Shooter.

A Battle Between Lawyers-The Judge
Restores Order with a Six.ShoOter.
TWaco (Texas) Cor Baltimore Americana
The court was in session; the presid-
ing Judge occupied the clair of state
with ali becoming dignity the prisoner
at the bar, arraigned for alleged cruelty
to animals, sat with bowed head while
the Prosecuting Attorney hurled his
thunderbolts, and gave to the case and
the prisoner the darkest coloring. The
jury, nodded until the speaker COM
menced berating the counsel for defense
using expressions not over compli-
mentary, and then the six pricked up
their ears and listened. The counsel for
the defense reminded the speaker that
he was not in the habit of receiving such
high compliments in open court. But
the prosecutor, not noticing the inter-
ruption, continued to send his shafts of
sarcasm and abuse with liberal hand.
A table stood between the two loving
disciples of Kent, and, the much-abused
counsel mounting it, began to lay his
cane over the broad shoulders of the
speaker with 9. touch which showed how
much he was in earnest. clay on Mac, :"
cried voice from the crowd. "What-
soever thy bands find to do, do it with
all thy might" shouted another. The
belabored attorney, Selling chair,
hurled it at his opponent, but it missed
it's mark and went crashing against the
wall opposite. The cries of the Judge
on the bench for "Order order !" were
drowned in the confusion.
"Arrest the combatants," cried the
judicial functionary. One of the attend
ant officers started for the hero of the
cane, but hadn't quite reached him when
friend of that lawye r knocked the Off
Ger down. The Judge, seeing the turn
of affairs, descended from his lofty seat,
and, taking asix-shooter from the foored
officer, said that he would restore order
in court, at the same time waving the
deadly weapon over his head. The
crowd knew the Judge too well to doubt
for moment that he meant what he
said, and stood not upon the order of
their going, but went at once. When
the clouds (created by the passage of
musty law books, etc., through the air
during the confict) began to clear up,
and somewhat of the dignity of the court
was restored, the Judge said that he re-
GREETED such thing should have hap
pened in Texas court, and regretted it
the more that the court should have been
the scene of such disgraceful affair !;
that in the future when lawyers could
not control their tempers in court he
would give them ali opportunity to re-
pair to a more suitable field, where
they might satiate their thirst for blood.
The attorneys were fined $25 each,
and the gentleman who foored the Off
Ger was called on to pay 800 as his share
of the entertainments.

GymnaStic Exercises

An official inquiry into the results Of
gymnastic exercises has recently been
Instituted at military gymnastic school
in France. The results of the inquiry,
which extended over period of six
months, established F.: l. That the mus
cular force is increased, on an average,
Is to II per cent, and occasionally from
25 to 80 per cent, while the force has,
as we might expect, tendency to be-
come equal, on both sides of the body.
2. That the capacity of the chest is in
creased by one-sixth at the lowest. 8.
That the weight of the individual is in
creased from 6 to 7 per cent, and occa'
sionalIy from 10 to Is per cent, while
the bulk of the body is diminished, thus
showing that the profit is confined to
the muscular system. The increase of
muscular force was generally confined
to the first three months of the course.
During the last moiety a serious diminu-
ton usually occurred; and here the
dynamometer gave positive indication
of the necessity of moderating or sus-
pending the exercises.

What was Accomplished by the He'll
re r15ate Explosion.

The success attending the great explo-
sion at Hell Gate puts Gen. Newton in
the front rank of practical engineers.
The amount of explosive charged into
the mine was over $4,000 pounds. The
area of rock displaced and broken up is
43, 600 cubic yards. There were 1872,
$40, 600 pounds of gneiss rock broken.
There were 47,461 cubic yards of water
inside the mine, which, added to the
cubic yards of water over the reef at high
tide, gave about 5000 cubic yards of
water TO be displaced, in addition to the
rock, before any atmospheric concussion
could occur. The belief of the experts
that the displacement of this great
amount of rock and water would 80 ex-
haust the power of the explosives as to
render them hardly capable of giving
any very sensible amount of conclusion,
has been vindicated by the event. No
such amount of powerful explosives has
ever before been discharged so near to
densely populated districts, and there
will perhaps never again be so much
interest manifested In an enterprise of
this kind.

GREAT FORTUNES.
The Wealth of Vanderbilt, Stewart, an
Aston.
[From the New York Tribune.l

Aston.
eIFrom the New York Tribune.]
In conversation with gentleman we
acquainted from his official duties Wit
the real estate and stock markets Q
this city, and having large acqualnt
ance among business men, he said cur
rent rumors for several years hay'
ascribed fabulous wealth to William b
Aston, Alexander t. Stewart and Cor
nelius Vanderbilt Their fortunes wer
said to exceed $50, 900, 600 each, ant
were popularity supposed to reach 800,
600, 900. But this is very large sun
of money. Very few people stop tt
think what is meant by 800, 700, 900
Persons unacquainted with the ways OF
making money and the enormous Incl.
dental losses of business men have nc
idea of the error of the popular belief as
to the wealth of our rich men. Mr.. As
tor was worth mall not more than from
$45, 900, 900 to $50, 600. Those &C
quainted with his business affairs know
that he was constantly carrying heavy
margin of indebtedness on his purchases
not beyond his ability to carry, and
not sufficient to embarrass him-but ma
terially lessening the aggregate worth OF
his estate on final settlement and wind
ing up of his affairs. Mr.. Vanderbilt
has not needed to own majority of the
stock of the New York Central and Hud.
son River railroads. It has been sui.
ficient for him and his sons, with lew
chosen friends, to control $40, 900, 900 OF
the stock. Had his death not been sc
long anticipated, this valuable property
would probably be subject to the fuctu.
tions of the market for time after his
demise, andSa forced sale Of the stock
would not yield the figures at present
quoted on the market, but his best
friends do not anticipate anything like
CONFUSION.
In view of this contingency, it is un
derstood in the inner circle of the Com
modore's acquaintance that he has dis
posed OF his immense interest to hi
sons, which will eventually prevent
panic and keep the roads in the hands
those who have so long managed them
Mr.. Vanderbilt will not let the publ
into the secret of his fortune. He
willing enough to be considered wort
800, 900, 900, but the exact figure nevt
will be known outside of his family, i'll
can avoid it. The actual value of h
estate cannot even be estimated wit
certainty. To say that he is worth fro
$40, 100000 to $60,000,000 is !
near as any outsider can get
it. The market value of stock ownedt
him must be taken into account, t
gether with the general depreciation
all kinds of business, which must nece
sarily affect the property and real esta
of these railroads and depreciate tt
whole of the franchise.

The Extradition Question.

The Governments of Great Britain and
the United States are at loggerheads on
the extradition question, and, as neither
will reeede from the position taken, all
correspondence on the subject has been
dropped for the present. The point Of
difference is, whether treaty can be alb
rogated by law of Parliament-Lord
Derby holding the affirmative Of the po-
sition, while Secretary Fish takes tho
contrary view, and refuses to consider
any proposition. which does not recog-
nize his position as correct. Therefore
there is no extradition treaty in force be-
tween the United States and England,
and no Immediate likelihood OF an agree
ment on the subject.
