dency of Mr.. James Cow. Miss Mae B.
Hall was teacher here. She was an ex-
ceediDgly lovely person, Of most sweet and
amiable temperament, and greatly below
ed by all who knew her. and her pupils
were bound to her by the warmest affec-
ton, She was neice of the late Mrs.
?. L. Mitchell, and boarded with Mrs.
Cornelius Smith, at whose house, on the
18th Of June 1869, she was married to
MIR, Charles NJ Heaton, ,Jr, of Washington,
D. c., the ceremony being performed by
Rev. Mr.. Holcombe, it being the first
marriage he solemnized in Rock Island
Miss Hall was devoted member of the
Episcopal church. She left with her hus-
band, for Washington, where they have
since resided and where she died on the
9th of this month There are many here
who will be saddeued by these lines. but

REMEDIES.

The standard remedies for all diseases Of the

slight cough will throw it off, the patient has rest
and the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the pulmonic syrup to do this
ScheEks Sea Weed Tonic must be freely used to
cleanse the stomach and liver. Schenck's Man
drake Pills act on the liver removing all obstruc
tiOns, relax the ga bladder the bile starts freely
and the liver is soon received.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is gentle stimulant
and alternatives the alkali OF which ii is composed
mixes with the food and prevents souring, 1t as
slsts the digestion by toning up the stomach TO
healthy condition. so that the food and the Pul
monic Syrup will make good blood; then the lungs
heal and the patient will surely get well care Is

European Gossip.

LONDON, April 25.-Prince Nicholas,
of Montenegro, and staff have gone to the
Albanian frontier.
The majority of the Paris papers, par
ticularly the Republicque Fraucaise, ex-
press the opinion that Van Moltke's
declarations in the German parliament
Yesterday were not intended as hostile to
France.
A special from Berlin says Moltke's
speech attracts as much attention as the
Russian manifesto, and is generally as
sumed that Moltke intended to ellFrench-
Germany that he is watching their arma
ments; that he is acquainted with the
peculiar disposition of their troops; that
she cannot conceal their immense military
efforts to aim at anything else saye re-
venge, at the first fitting opportunity, and
warning her that Germany will not allow her
to profit by the Oriental troubles for a
pursuit of anti Teutonic plans.

from the force.
Some of the most effective members of
the force waited on Packard at his house
to-day and told him they had been offered
positions in the reorganiLed force and they
wanted his advice whether to accept or
not. He recommended them to accept.

Higher Life.

BY MRS. MAE b. HEAToN.
If the thought were present with us
That our eyes will see the Lord,
How we'd guard them from all evil,
How we'd guide them by His word.
If we held it truly sacred
That our ears will hear His voice,
How we'd train them to distinguish
The least limiting of His choice.
II the truth we never doubted.
That our lips would speak His name
In heavenly recognition
When the welcome plaudit came,
How we'd tune them to all sweetness,
Gentle words and kindly tone,
And we'd soon unlearn the harshnees
That has caused the world to moan.
II this right hand may be taken
BY angelic ones who wait
Ever at the shining portals,
Can it work the deeds OF hatef
II theee feet would press the verdure
OF the flowery pastures there,
Can follow earthly by-ways
And though false still deem them fairf
If my mind perchance may ripen
In the fuller life above
Meath the guiding of teacher
Whose eternal name Is Love,
Till 1t comprehends the wonders
OF creations faultless plan,
Til it learns the yearning pity
That our Saviour hadfor man.
Can / weaken it by folly
Or let evil thoughts find place
In this mind which is immortal,
And should mirror back His facei
Oh, il we are only faithful
Unto death-that gate of lie
Shall we e'er regret it, think you,
That we have endured the strife?
May our Lord veuchssfe to keep US
Pure in heart, and lip and eye,
Till we reach the golden city
In the glorious bye-and-bye.

Caarrh in its extent and destructive force stands
next to Consumption, and is closely allied to it :;
for in certain constitutions the transitions from

themselves of it. A single bottle of any remedy
cannot, in the chronic tage effect cure, even

many such cases the bones and cartilage of the

ing, and of tasting, so affected to be rendered
useless, lhe uvulva so nlongated and infamed to

that there does not exist of Catarrh that can

THE END OF PAcKARD,

STATE OF LOUISIANA, EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.

physicians were called, an emetic was given,
revealing a largedose of medicine. He was
kept awake by greatexertion and by the aid
of stimulants, and recovered SO as to con-
verse coherently.
During the morning the prisoner was
visited BY a large number of friends and
relatives. The parting with his brothers
and aged mother was most affecting, though
not as private as desired. They had visited
the prisoner the night previous, and one
or the other furnished the poison, it is
supposed.
At II 80 the mournful cortege left the
prison for the scene of execution, Hunt
riding in band wagon, in which were seated
Sheriff Warren, two Deputies and a brother
in-law of the condemned. On either side
marched a strong guard, one of whom was
Glen. Davis, the father OF the murdered
wife. The gallows was a rude affair-two
uprights and the traditional cross-beans,
with iron rings on the center; and erected
about a half mile from the courthouse.
Hunt, calm and im~perturbable, after his
arrival at the gallows and during the relig-
ious services, said nothing, being percepti-
bly, under the influence of the poison,
though stimulated by liquor: but he had a
letter read to his mother, brother and
sister. His last words were a whispered
message to the ~jailer's wife, acknowledging
her kindness.
At 40 o'clock the black cap and rope
were adjusted, the prisoner so weak as to
require support at times, and two minutes
later the unfortunate MAJ was swinging in
the air, and death soon followed by strangu-
lation.
After hanging ~twenty-seven minutes the
body was takeu down and given to his
brother for burial.

Dickens, Little Folks

Nothing has given the writings of Charles
Dickens SO strong a hold upon the hearts of
parents as the w~ell-known excellence of his
portrayal of children and their interest.
These delineations having received the ap-
proval of readers of mature age, the differ
emit child characters have been detached
from the large mass of matter with which
they were originally connected, and pre-
sented in the authors own language, to a
new class of readers, to whom the little
volumes will be as attractive as the larger
originals have proven to the general public.
A series of twelve volumes has been pre-
pared, presenting, among others, the follow
ing characters: "Smike," from Nicholas
Nickleby; "Little Nell," from The Old
Curiosity Shop; "The Child Wife" from
David Copperield; "The BoyvJoe," from
Pickwick Papers, etc., etc. A new edition
of the first volume of the series, "Little
Pau" from Dombey & Son, has just been
issued, illustrated, by barley, and attract
lively bound. The other volumes will shortly
follow. Sent postpaid for 81 or any
volume will be sent with a years subscrip-
ton to the New York Tribune weekly, for
50; or any two volumes with a years sub
scription to the Independent for So. JOHN
