An Intestine War.

The following letter explains itself:
DEAR DocToR-You did a good turn
for me once; you saved my life. To be
sure you left me minus a leg in doing it
but life Is sweet even but with one
foot to hobble through the world with.
1t was down Al. 1t was a bloody
day but a glorious onel You remem-
Der hom-but l beg PARDON, / always
forget myself when get to talking
about those old times. This is what /
want to tell you; One morning last
week | awoke feeling very strange. For
along time my liver had been rebellious
but / had anticipated no trouble. But
that morning / discovered that my
stomach had Joined in the revolt, and
a lively shirmish was being carried on,
that threatened to end In a hard battle.
The suddenness Of the revolt put the
headquarters in confusion, and all
seemed hopeless till, suddenly, like one
Of those flashing orders of Grant, came
the command-''Get DIR. Pierce Col

Purgative Pellets" and a courier was
Immediately dispatched for them. Now
what ! want to say is this, l feel like a
volunteer, who has just received his
commission, or, better still, as well as
Grant did when he held Lees sword.
And l want to advise all who suffer
from a rebellious liver and stomach to
flight 1t out on this line,n and they
will surely be victorious.

BEGGING FOR THE RICH.

To Americans it seems strange to
AXE up subscriptions for the benefit of
stockholders Of a bank. Yet this is be-
ing done in Scotland for the Glasgow
bank sufferers, and now an appeal for
aid has been sent to the Scotchmen of
North America. For IL own part we
think the Scotch are departing from
their usual independence and dignity.
Suppose the stockholders must make
good the losses by the bank failure.
This is no mort than thousands of in
nocent holders Of stock have done in
In other parts of the world. All the
property of the sufferers may be absorb
cd, u Is such an event unprecedented?
The writer remembers of a bank fail
ure n Pittsburg-the infamous Nation
trust company, which rendered penni-
ess scores of wealthy men and hun
dreds of small property owners. Yet
no one thought Of soliciting aims in
their behalf. There are hundreds Of
large landowners, some of them of
the nobility, holding Glasgow bank
stock, and their vast estates may be
co~nlscated- Is that good reason for
begging charityp The proverbial Scotch
pride has taken a sad fall. There are
likewise hundreds Of people in easy
circumstances (poor people never own
bank stock) who may be reduced to
nothing. Well, they cannot be impris-
oned for not having more wealth. La
Dor is open to them. Let them work
as toiling millions are doing every day.
These appeals for aid by cable are sim
ply prayers that the charitable viii give
and thus enable those Stockholders to
maintain their social standing, and not
De reduced to labor. Is the cause
worthy? fNrI

THE English commanders are very

such as annihilated their army in 1s4l.
In that year the British troops pushed
boldly toward Cabul and while passing

WASHINGTON, March 9. = The Preai-

make an appointment of collector fol-
the port Of New Orleans from any Of the
warring factions there. G. A. Lee, for
merly a merchant in the interior of the
State, and now of New Orleans, is men
toned for the Office. The new appoint,
ment will be followed by a sweeping
change in other Offices. The object O.
this course is to secure the public good
and to silence all animadversions upon
the present condition Of matters at the
