A Cure for cola. IN the Head.

It would seem as il the cure for those
worst OF small nuisances, colds in the
head, which DR.. Ferrier, II Kings Col
lege, suggested in the Lancet, might
prove to he a remedy OF very great
value. 1t is snuif-a white powder
-compnsed Of the following ingredi
-nls: Hydrochlorate OF morphia, two
grains; a,a'iA iowder, two dn chm';
trisnitrate OF bismuth, Fix drachms--
The whole making up Qusntity OF
powder of which from one quarter Ia
one half may be safely taken, IL neces-
sary, in the course OF twenty.four hours.
DR.. Ferrier says that with this snuG
he has twice cured himself of very vio-
lent colds, once. in1tei by taking
risritr4te Of bismuth alone, which isA.
very powerful remedy for catsrrh of
he mucous membrane, aud is the Innst
important ingredient in this sauh. DIR.
Ferner mentions two other persons who
we're cured of violent colds by the same
nuf, and to these instances we may
i'd that of the present writer, who,
naving a very violent cold coming on.

SOMETIME ago the STATESMAN pub
lished something in regard to the rob-
berry of the store of Mr.. Higgins, in
Bastrop, of $3.50 worth of cutlery.
We now learn from citizen Of that
county that Mr.. Higgins suspected two
young men named Johnson aud Hans
the former a son of an old citizen
and the latter tie son Of widow lady
who had lived there about year
of having committed the robbery,
and that he employed young
man named Foster to ferret the
thing out. Foster went to work at
the matter and finally gained their
confidence and got IN with them,
when it was arranged that the three
should rob Mr.. uiggins's store again
on = certain night. Foster let the
sheriff know what was up, and he was
there ready for them, and just as they
commenced to hand goods out of the
window he arrested johnson and
Hans who NOV look through the
CRATES Of the Bastrop Jail.

has often said before, that there is no
better place on the continent for poor

commenced talking about .El
charges made by Britton and DaViG
against Purnell in Washington.
Judge Altgelt, of San Anto-
Mo, says that he, having business with
Major Purnell, stood near, waiting for
them to get through, and that the con-
versation was in an ordinary tone and
not insulting, and he thus left them
and stepped into Pressler's saloon.
Other parties corroborate this state
ment. Finally, 10 the surprise of all,
both Britton and Purnell jumped for
the dnor-j 4mbs, Britton being little in
advance and firing twice before Pur.
nell got in the jams. Reports as I "a
whether Purnell was armed or not
were conflicting, several saying that
be was and others that he was not. Be
that as it may, he did no. shoot nor
offer to shoot, and after being wounded
twice he stepped from the door jamb
inside of an unfinished building, and
from there he was carried home in a
hack aud given all necessary surgical
attention., Drs. Weiselberg, Hadra and
Wooten beng called. Britton, imme-
diately after the shooting, started
hurredlY away, bu: was in
tercepted by Policeman R1biuson,
who arrested him and conducted him
to the mayors Office, where he was re
tanned till O'Clock, when. he was
taken to the Jail. The excitement in
the city was intense and men congre-
gated about in large numbers.
An examination OF Maj,r Purne.Ps
wounds proved him to be In critical
but not extremely dangerous condi-
ton. One ball entered the left shout
der, severing the main artery and par
alyzing the nerves Of the arm. The
other entered the left side just in front
and about four inches below the left
arm pit, and the doctors thought
ranged around the back. This ball
was not found, but the other passed
entirely through the shoulder. At 10
o'clock last night Major Purnell was
resting quite easy, and the uneasiness
that prevailed about him in the early
part of the evening had somewhat
passed away.
The public is familiar with the
war that has been going on be-
tween the parties FOE the past
three years, and the recent severe
charges made against the Major, which
appeared in the telegraphic dispatches,
now come UP more wildly. Frank
Britton has beer absent from the city
for some time past until within the
last day or two, and it would have
been better for both him and Msjor
Purnell had he stayed away altogether.

agents for American Watch Company
of Wslthsm, have published, by per-
mission, pamphlet of forty pages,
containing extracts from the official
report on horology, prepared for the
Commission by Prof. James G. Watson,
Profess or of Astronomy at the Uni

Board of Judges for Instruments of
Research and Precision, and Chairman
Of the Committee of the Board of
Judges of Chronometric Apparatus, at
the Centennial Exhibition,
These extracts include full tables of
the performance of all watches entered
for competition, giving detailed and
careful account of. the thorough tests
that were applied, and by which the
superiority of the Waltham to the best
Swiss watches was definitely deter
mined. This report presents, in clear
and indisputsble. terms, conclusions
which are OF the utmost Importance to
all who would possess themselves of a
trustworthy time-piece.
The following quotation Is made from
page 90 Of the report:
1t is not the purpose of this re-
pert to make direct comparisons of the
productions of different manufacture

such matters will find, IN most cases,

question. But in order to convey to
the general reader an. idea of what the
system Of manufacture under consider

developed industry in this country, il
Is proper to state here that the re-
