tic medicine that can be employed: cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter of century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilativc organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only 10 they
cure the everyday Complaints of very.
body but ESQ formiHeaolo and dangerous
diseases diseases tnat nave baffled the best of
n..nan skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not infamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

Pope Leo XIII. was crowned and
-enthroned on Sunday the 3D.. in the
Sistine Chaple at Rome. The cere-
mony was very much of a private ma
'ture, and was unaccompanied, not on
ly with the grandeur but also with the
enthusiasm, which has been wont to
attend these ceremonials in former
times. This is due to the altered re-
lations of the civil and ecclesiastical
powers. 1t was, nevertheless, an i'm
posing and impressive service land its

THE NEWFOUNDLAND DOG.
A New Cross, of Which Great Things are
Confidently Expected.
n eW York Sun


The extinction which has lately
threatened the pure breed of Newfound-
land dogs has been fortunately arrested
by the importation of several splendid
specimens of the Leonberg breed, which
is the result of skillful crossing between
the St. Bernard, the Newfoundland and
the wolf dog of the Pyrenees. The
dogs were recently brought there in
charge of the famous conchologist,
Herr |. A. Nerkruzen. This is notable
news for the outside world, because
everybody has q feeling for the saga
cious, brave and handsome brute that
bears the name of this island, though
few persons would be inclined to credit
the fact that there are not half a dozen
dogs in the whole United States of alb
solutely pure Newfoundland breed.
More markedly than in any other
canine species, this dog perpetuates all
the traits of his breed, even to the pro-
geny Of animals that are very distinctly
removed from his species through mis-
cegenation. Hence the mistake that
many labor under who believe they
possess Newfoundland dogs of pure
breed, while their big pets are on y
such in tenaciously preserving a strong
average height of the true NeWfOund-
land dog is thirty inches. He is entire
ly black, his claws are webbed at the
points, his paws are massive, his gait
maj estic, and his countenance striking
ly benevolent and deeply trustful But
the renowned qualities of this famous
dog are to be superseded by the splen-
did breed known as the Leonberg. The
specimens now here are soon ex-
pected to propagate, but they will not
be full grown till their third year.
Baron Essig, Of Leonberg, Wurtem-
berg, Germany, was the gentleman who
undertook the production Of the new
species, and the specimens brought
here were carefully selected from his
kennels.
Good specimens sell at $3.50, and su-
perior dogs command as high price as
$500. At all the great dog shows Of
Baden, Lima, Vienna, Paris, and Lon
don, they received the highest premi-
ums. They attain the height of Sc
inches, and are frequently over 100
pounds in weight Their heads are
large, erect and strikingly noble in their
symme try They inherit with large
interest all the gentleness of the
Newfoundland, their intelligence
surprises that Of any other
species of dog, and they are capable Of
being trained to do almost anything
within the possibilities of dog kind 1t
will be a rare sight to behold four Of
these handsome brutes, this winter,
brilliantly caparisoned, and perfectly
tractable, hitched to comm odious dog
sleigh, and flying over the frozen roads
in the environs of st. Johns, Or over
the surface of Quidi Vidi Lake.

A NEW and useful application of cleo
tricity has been made by an American
inventor to the apparatus for reeling
silk from the cocoon. The delicate fila
ments of silk are carried over wire
arms, which are so nicely balanced that
they do not press against the silk
strongly enough to break it, and in this
relation current is kept open, but if
the filament breaks the arm falls, the
circuit is closed, and an electromagnetic
instantly stops the reel until the break
is repaired. AS the work is now done
the detection of broken filament de-
ponds entirely upon the skill of the
Workmen, and the work must be carried
on slowl y that the eye can note any
break.

THE STATE DEBT.

We yield large space on our editorial
page to-day to a synoptical report o.
Colonel John d. Savsge'I speech, de
livered Saturday night at Cochran Hal
in this city, His subject was the State
debt, and he handled it in his peculiar
vigorous, analytical and effective style.
His position has been regared as rather
extreme, especially by the bondholderS
and their mouth. pieces who formerly re-
garded any man as an EXTREMIST who
favored settling the State debt at less
than dollar for dollar. Savage has been
denounced and ridiculed and called q
r~epudiator, but be has made it so
warm for them that the bondhold-
ers have quit spelling repudiator
with a capital R, and only use the
word when be is sbelling the woods in
some distant part Of the State. His
speech of Saturday night was devoid Of
ali bitterness or denunciation, and was
characterized by a dignity, courtesy and
d~irectness Of style which commended it
to the highly intelligent crowd present.
There is q revolution in public sentiment
going on, and the time is not far distant
when the bondholders will be glad to talk
about q rate of settlement even lower than
fifty cents on the dollar, with four per cent.
interest, and coupons not receivable for
taxes. We believe, like Colonel Savage,
that a few Of these bonds should be paid
in full, but that much Of the debt is lille.
gal and should never be paid. A large
portion OF this debt is interest which &C.
crued during the var and after the war
when one hundred thousand Of the best
citizens of the State we're DISTINGUISHED,
and had no voice in public affairs. Some
OF this interest has been compounded so
a to multiply the burdens Of the people.
According to the principles Of law
and equity we have a right to
wipe out all the interest that &C
crusd for a period of about nine
years. Let this be done and the really
fraudulent bonds eliminated and the
b~ondbolder would be doing well to get
thirty.three and one-third cents on the
dollar. But the debt was artfuIly amalga-
mated, and It would be a difficult matter
to sift the good from the bad. The best we
can do is to strike an average and treat
all alike. Colonel Savage may be a lit
tie in advance Ct public sentiment, but
his straightforward, honest aud fearless
advocacy Of the peoples cause has
stirred up the State from one end to the
other. Leaving politics and parties out
Of the question, be treats this as a PEG.
pies question, which the people alone
can settle.

The Newburyport Herald relates the
following: Joaquin Miller is going to
Europe to stay, so he will not care if we
tell a little anecdote Of him, and proba-
bly, he wOuld not be unwilling that the
story should be told in any event. A
few years ago Mr.. Miller came into the
Herald Office and asked the meaning Of
the word "cyclades," %pronOnncing it in
two syllables. lie said it was a high
sounding word, and ke wanted to
use it in a poem be wAs about to publish.
We gave him the meaning and the pro-
nuneiatioD, which he did not fancy,
~Whereupon we suggested = cyclone" and
sure enough, soon after came out one of
his striking poems wherein a cyclone
was introduced as occurring in Oregon.
