MURDER WILL OUT.

A few years ago "August Flower" was dis
covered to be a certain cure for Dyspepsia
and Liver complaint, few thin Dyspeptics
made known to their friends how easily and
quickly they had been cured by its use. The
great merits of GREENS AUGUST FLOWER be-
came heralded through the country by one
sufferer to another, until, without advertis-
ing, its sale has become immense, Druggists
in EVERY TOWN in the United States are
selling it. No person suffering with Sour
Stomach, Sick Headache, Costiveness, palpi-
tation of the Heart, indigestion, low spirits,
etc, can take three doses without relief. Go
to your Druggists, C. E. Davis or r. 5. Free
man, and get bottle for 70 cents and try 1t.
Samnle hotties 10 cents.

How an Elephant was Utilized.

1t is very seldom that in England
elephant labor is utilized, but one in
stance occurred in London the other
day which is worthy of record. An
omnibus was proceeding alonga street
which had lately been broken up, and
was so heavily laden that the horses
were unable to drag the load. Several
of the passengers alighted, and while
the horses were endeavoring to get
over the piece of ground of the ele-
plants attached to Sanger's Amphi-
theater, under the charge of a keeper,
passed along the road Seeing the
helplessness of the horses, the keeper
gave instructions to the elephant, who
lowered his head, and, placing his fore
head at the ear of the bus, pushed
horses, vehicle and passengers beyond
the obstacle which impeded their pro-
gress. This was witnessed by a large
number of persons, who loudly cheered
the actors in this incident.-London

who had gone to Rome for the winter,
while driving down the Appian Way 10

in the afternoon by two masked men,
hidden behind the tomb of the Horatii
and the Curiatii. They compelled the
ladies to give up their pocket books and
jewelry, and wounded Miss Hamilton in
the hand with a knife. This naturally
produced much excitement at Rome; a
reward was offered for the brigands,

The negro Hayes e~lector, Beverly Nash,
OF South Carolina, who testified before a

a bride by Col. Childs, of Columbia, to cast
his vote for Tilden, was formerly a slave of
the late w. G. Preston, and afterward a
boOtOlack in a Columbia hotel. He has been
n OF the most prominent political leaders
OF his race, has served as q State Senator
during most, if not the whole, OF. the time
since reconstruction, and, of course, has
been mixed up in the ~disreputable transac-
tons by which the course OF legislation in
South Carolina has chiefly been distinguish
ed of late years. He is a fluent speaker,
and has a faculty Of using funny stories and
in his speeches in q way to carry
his dusky auditors by storm. Like the most
OF his white confederates, he has been grow

in relation to having refused q bride should
be received with caution. Col. Childs,

Reading-Ro0m Tramps.

A little better class of the tramps, but
thorough tramps, nevertheless, habitu-
ally haunt the reading-rooms at the
Cooper Institute and Aston Library.
They strive to wear some semblance of
shabby gentility, shave themselves with
razors which they carry carefully in
their pockets all the time, wash their
faces and hands occasionally, and are
seldom seen without paper collars, even
II their coats are pinned tightly over
their breasts to hide the absence of
shirts, and their pantaloons are held to-
gether by hundreds of pins. They do
moi frequent those places to read, but
to have in the open books before them
excuses to sit in a warm place. 1t is
really wonderful how well a soundly
sleeping hummer will simulate wake
fulness. Alot of them used to frequent
Mat Gooderson's in old times, and sit
about the stove to snooze, which an
noyed the proprietor to such an extent
that he took the chairs away. Then
they would lean up against the wall,
and sleep standing. Determined to put
a stop to their slumbers, he made a
regulation that every n of them should
hold a paper up before him asst he were
reading, whether he could read or not,
and, if one went to sleep and dropped
his paper, he should be expelled. They
speedily adapted themselves to circum-
stances, and learned to sleep standing,
holding the paper up mechanically all
the time. Then he required that they
should keep n foot moving constant
ly, to show that they were awake. Even
that did not trouble them. They would
stand up, hold the paper, wag one foot
steadily, and still sleep soundly, and
some of them, it is averred, acquired
such practice in the art of deception
that they could even do all this and
their eyes wide cpen.-New
York Times.

Power of Sympathy.

Wednesday night at the Union Depot
a coffin lay on a baggage truck waiting
to be put on to Lake Shore train No. 8,
when it should 60 out. It was directed
to Mrs. -, Parma, Jackson County,
Mich. It contained the remains of the
son OF a woman who, in one short year,
had lost every near relative she pos
sessed on earth-husband, daughter
and two sons. This was her last son,
who had just died in Cincinnati. She
had been summoned to his side when
he was suddenly taken i'll, and had ar
rived just n hour after he breathed
his last, calling vainly in the agonies of
death for his mother. At times the
realization of her terrible grief and
loneliness would weigh down on her
with such unbearable force that she
would almost grow wild with anguish.
She paced the floor of the depot impa-
tiently, and finally walked out and stood
over the coffin, wringing her hands and
moaning with grief. Another woman
saw her and came to her side. They
were utter strangers, but sorrow made
them sisters. ado not give way to
your grief so completely" said the
strange lady to the poor woman.
"How a I helpit?" said she almost
iercely. "It is well enough for you to
say so, but what do goa know about
sufferingP This was all Thad."
"Ah, my near woman," said the
stranger, taking her by the hand, "I
know what sorrow is. Last week I
buried, all I had on earth"
Almost instantly the poor woman
stopped her weeping, grasped her COM
forter's hand eagerly, and walked away
from the coffin with her into the wait
ing-room.

Measuring q Mans Life Closely.

Latimer Whittle a veteran of the late
war, will be buried from the residence
of his aunt, Mrs. j. c. Smith, 200 York
Street, Jersey City, at o'clock this
afternoon. Mr.. Whittle enlisted in the
Seventy-third Regiment, New York Vol
unteers; When about Is years of age,
and was shot in the battle of Bristow
Station, Virginia, 1862. He was left for
dead, but evidence of vitality being dis
covered, he was placed in an ambulance
and removed to the hospital. The sur
geon probed his wound and found that
the ball had passed through his liver
and penetrated the base of his lungs.
They decided that the wound was NOR
tai, but to their surprise Whittle recov-
cred, though the surgeon failed to find
the bullet. They told him after his re-
coyerythat he might live ten Or twelve
years. When that time expired he
thought they were mistaken, but about
nine months ago the injured lung began
to disappear, and about four weeks ago,
the decay became So rapid that he was
confined to his bed and sank rapidly
until he, died. His case attracted afgood
deal of attention in the medical frater-
nifty. The obituary advertisements says
that the bullet with which Whittle was
shot was poisoned.-New York World.
