A LITTLE HIsTOEh CONNECTED WIFI ILlNAlL
KILLED IN IDAHO.
From the St Louis Republican, July ;.
Nearly a year ago the quartermaster Office
at this post was notified from the war de-
partment to furnish transportation to Mrs.
Alice A. TIulburt and two children from this
city to Fort Lapwai. Idaho Territory. As it
is Il not an unusual thing for officers and men
in the service to obtain similar orders from
the department, this would hnye probably
attracted little attention had 1t not been for
the mathematical turn OF mind of some of
the clerks. The order WAS dated July Is.
1876 and was to the effect that the quarter
masters department will furnish Mrs. Alice
A. Hurlburt and two children transportation
from St Louis to Fort Lapwai, Idaho Tern
tory, the cost of which will be deducted from
the pay of her husband, private William l..
Hurlburt, Company f, First cavalry, M IN
stalments OF SO per month.
In CHANGING over this order it occurred to
the clerk who received it that ii would take
Private Hurlhurt some years to pay oil his
little debt to the government Altogether it
was II most singular matter. The cost of the
Journey would be upward of siOO. A private
soldiers pay is only Sl3 rer month, and the
idea of giving up all OF 1t but 50 per month
for the period OF nearly four Yeas would be
rather gloomy to contemplate. From the
little mathematical calculation the clerks m
turnlly enough turned To speculating ns to
what kind of people this soldier and his wife
must be, TO place themselves i'll such cXtrenl-
ty for the sake of being together. Ii seemed
strange, indeed, that two such people should
ever have become separated. Then IT was n
matter of curiosity to know why this soldier
had enlisted. The record showed Tint he had
only been in the service about year, and
the more the matter was discussed the more
singular did II seem.

Before the question had approached a solu-
ton their speculatIons was cut short by the
arrival of the soldiers wife. She WIS IA pret-
ty lady like little body. with two fine children.
and evidently had passed good portion oi
her life under happy auspices. There was II
shadow of trouble on her smooth brow that
made her really charming ways irresistible.
Her helpless situation and evident anxiety
regarding her projected journey. coupled with
her oft expressed desire to see her husband
once more, excited the greatest interest IN her
welfare Before she had been IN the office
fifteen minutes she could have counted a.
friend in every one ofthe good looking young
men about the establishment. Fully hehrv-
ing that she wus about to take II very foolish
step they tried every means Of persuadIng her
to relinquish her purpose. Before leaving
the office she said her husband had lost his
property the year before and IN n tit OF dcs-
peration had enlisted. Directly aftrrwnrd he
had been ordered to the west and she had not
seen him since II was 50 hard to he scpa-
rated, and she could endure any privnti"n to
be near him so she went. Whether she
arrived safe or not the quartermasters office
here would probably never have known but
for one of those incidents the service Is al

The most marked effect of our exhibit
ton on England, is the opening of the
eyes of Englishmen to the fact that ''pro
teetionp has really accomplished some
thing for us. The Times attributes the
developments at Philadelphia to that
system. and thinks the fact has impor-
tant lessons for Englishmen in the strug-
gle for the possession of the markets OF
the world. 1t further says: 1T might
still remain to be considered whether a
policy OF protection in certain STAGES OF a
nations progress may not be wise and
polite course; and the legislation adopted
by the United States i'm recent years is a
very strong test of this policy" The
Graphic says: 1T must be admitted that
in America the protective system, though
perhaps economically fallacious, has EN-
practically successful" The Pail Mali
Gazette Is greatly impressed with the
competitions England is getting, and es-
pecially from the United States, and adj
mits that the effect of the policy OF pro-
lection has been to immensely stimulate
production. That protection is the cause
of the extraordinary development ofour
manufacturing industry and that it has
changed the prospect of England as a
manufacturing country. is the opinion
of the reporters at Philadelphia and of
many other writer's to the london press.

Railroad and bridge MATTERS ter

The town board had an extra meeting
Saturday night, to take into considera-
tlOn some matters connected with the
construction of the bridge. Since the let
ting of the contract for the construction
of the bridge, there has strong feeling
arisen in favor of having the center pier
iron, instead of wood. The principal
tax payers had been consulted and were
in favor of the change. while number
OF citizens present expressed themselves
Ia favor OF the change. The board, there
fore, voted to arrange for an iron pier.
This will add only about 5000 to the cost
and will make it great deal more per-
manent.
Geo. W. Bell was appointed superin-
tendent OF the construction of the brids
at a salary OF $50. q i -
The question OF railroad was brought
up, and the importance of sending repre-
sentatives to Lansing, to look after our
interests. was talked over, aud a resoill-
ton adopted that the town would pay
the expenses of Messrs. Bell and Hum
phrey, provided that the Board of Super
visors, on whom the burden should fall,
declined to do so. The meeting was
unanimous in this. and much interest
was manifested in the railroad project.

II. PattersOnss Residence Visited by
Burglars i'm His absence -Thev
Take a Determined Search after
Something, ind Appearances lndi-
cate that they went away Disaf-
pointed.
Two weeks. ago last Monday DIR. Ge-
rows attention was attracted by door
slamming in some Of the rooms above
his store, which are occupiedlas arcsi-
dence by Mr.and Mrs. Patterson. Know
ing that they We're away, and that the
doors were all locked. he went up stairs
to see what was the cause of it. A glance
at the rooms was sufficient to convince
him that burglars had ransacked all the
rooms, for everything was in confusiOn.
All the bureau drawers had been opened
and their contents, Oyerhauled;the trunks
were broken open and served in like
manner. In fact everything had been
.overhauled and left i'm confusion. An ex-
animation showed that entriiice had been
effected through the rear door, by getting
i'm lever mt the top of the door and grad
ually springing it out until the fastenings
gave way. The inside doors were opened
the same way. The lever used was the
handle of shovel with the iron ears on,
which were inserted between the door
and the jam. Of course DR. GerOw could
not tell anything about what articles
were missing. so nothing was said about
the matter, and Mr.. Patterson was noti-
fed by telegraph. They arrived home
OIL Saturday, and have carefully looked
over affairs, but, fortunately, find very
little i'm value missing. Trunks
and presses had their con-
tents of valuable clothing
ransacked,but it was evidently not cloth
ing that they were after, or they could
have taken a great deal. Mrs. Patterson.
has missed few little trinkets OF no
great value, but outside of this nothing

Raymond Matching Coins.

Colonel Mulberry Sellers Raymond is
said to have special we ikness for
matching coins. and has been known to
relieve himself of couple of hundreds
Of dollars i'm an afternoon this way A
story is told that recently in San Fran
cisco he met Mauiiee Gran and challeng-
ed him to matching bout. Grau, ac-
cepted and play was begun with $40
pieces. Gran kept winning; the stakes
were increased to hundreds, and in less
than half an hour Raymond had lost
$4,000. on honor. as neither had any
such amount Of money about them.
RAYMOND was excited and nervous and
proposed matching the whole $4,000 on
one cast Grau consented and put down
head. Raymond matched him and won.

A good story is told concerning q
town bed fatted calf, who had consented
to do duty on Sunday for his friend, the
rector OF country. parish in the mid

mon was the parable of the Prodigal
Son. and in the'hope of impressing upon
his hearers the Joy which the patriarch
felt on the return of lis son, as instanced
by his ordering the fatted calf to be kill
ed, the Young curate felt a pardonable
pride in dwelling upon a subject which

The Anti societies.

: Our reporter. who has the faculty at
finding out many things which are true
and many things which Ilnay be true
sometimes, informs us that there is at
least two Anti Societies in the village.
One is an Anti Slang society. just who
are its members or what its rules we do
not know. other than that its members
are prohibits ed under pains and penal les
to use slang We believe the penalties
are fines. We would guess tibet the treas
urer is the most profitable officer in the
society.
The other is an Anti Swearing society.
We believe it is just organized and as yet
only contains three or four members.
They are all i'm business in one store.
The unlucky member who allows his Ton
que to give expression to the feelings in
the sh ,pe of ''cuss WORDS has to receive
three kicks from the other members of
the society, and saw a stick OF wood.
Wonder if wood sawyer would secure
any business about that store.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under the ledge

sometimes the pain is in the left side; the
patient is rarely able to lie on the lett
side; sometimes the pain is felt under
the shoulder-blade, and it frequently ex-
tends to the top of the shoulder, and IS
sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected with
loss appetite and sickness; the bowels
in general are costive, sometimes alterna-
tive with lax the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally considerable loss ofmemory,
accompanied with painful sensation of
having left undone something which
ought to have been done. A slight, dry
cough is sometimes an attendant. The
patient complains of WEAKNESS and de-
bility he is easily startled, his feet are
cold or burning, and he complains of a
priCkly sensation of the skin; his spirits
are low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it, In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few ofthem existed,

has shown the LIVER to have been eX-
