thorough examinations and analysis
of the water Of those wells, it has
been found that the impurity of the

city, and that he himself had croton
oil poured down his back, since then
other ex-convicts have come out in

The Texas Legislature recently
passed a bill which makes tia mis-
demeanor, punishable by fine OF
500, for person to use profane
language within hearing of any pri-
vate dwelling. A mans mule got
balky in a Texas town the other day
and the man got mad. The animal
would start off suddenly, run about
twenty yards, and then stop fifteen
minutes to survey the neighborhood,
and before the man got out of town
he owed the authorities $4,000. He
told them they might take the mule
and call it square.

The New York Tribune is autho-
rity for the statement that samples
of the products of many New York
and Brooklyn sugar refneries have
been analysed by chemical experts,
and in every instance the investiga-
ton has shown conclusively that re-
fined sugars have been adulterated
by the use Of tin and muriatic acid,
glucose, and other substances. The
largest proportion Of the adulteration
has been found to consist Of glucose,
a cheap product of corn. An analy.
Sis Of many samples Of sugar and sy-
rup has been made, and in but one
instance has the sugar been found
to be wholly free from adulteration.
It is stated that no action can be
taken with respect to the adultera-
ton except by the various Boards Of
Health.''

THE AFGHAN WAR.

GEN. BROWNS COMMUNICATIONS CUT.
PEsHAwUR, Friday evening Nov.
29.-Gen. Browns communications
have been temporarily cut. Hostile
highlanders, estimated at 4,OOO.in
number, have collected in the hills
below Ali Musjid. They cut off
stragglers and fired in armed parties.
The section of the pass between
Jumrood and Ali Musjid has been
closed altogether for the present. A
strongly escorted convoy failed to
force its way to-day. The situation
is serious, and strong measures are
inevitable.
BRITISH REPULsE.
LONDON, Dec. IA dispatch from
Thull says: The Afghans have got
their guns up Peirrar Pass, and have
established a battery on the summit.
Afghan troops swarm on the ridges
and crags. The Thull regiments
failed to turn the enemy's position
on Saturday, and retired on discov-
ering his strength. One man was
killed and twelve wounded. The
withdrawal Of the battery and camp
of the remainder of the force was
rendered necessary by the accuracy
Of the Afghan artillery fire. The
British will attack the pass Monday,
after the troops have had day s rest.
They are confident Of good results,
although the pass is 1000 feet high.
The fighting will certainly be severe.
ADVANCE ABANDONED.
A dispatch from Sakhar says:
News from the Quettah column is
discouraging. In consequence Of.
the loss Of canels it is universally
believed the advance on Candahar
will be delayed until spring.
FIGHTING AT KHYBER PASS.
LONDON, Dec. IA dispatch from
Peshawur Saturday night says: Gen.
Appleyard, who was sent to clear
Khyber pass, has been heavily en-
gagged. Reinforcements have been
sent from Jumrood. It seems i'm
peratively necessary to order up the
reserve division to maintain commu-
nication, as Peshawur is almost de-
nuded Of its garrison.

barrassment. Diigent search was
made for the body during the whole
week but proved unavailing up to
Saturday noon, and it began to be
rumored that he had not committed
suicideat all, but had fed the country.
The recovery Of his body, however,
about 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon
dispelled all such rumors. There
were no marks of violence on the
body and it is now thought that he
merely fired the shot to attract at

A large proportion of the American peo-
pie are to-day suffering from the effects of
Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The result
of these diseases upon the masses of in
telligeut and valuable people is most
alarming, making life actually burden in
stead of pleasant exista1ce Of enjoyment
and usefulness as it ought to be. There
is no good reason for this, if you will only
throw aside prejudice and skepticism, take
the advise of Druggists and your friends,
and try one bottle of Green's August
Flower. Your speedy relief is certain.
Millions of bottles of this medicine have
been given away to try its virtues, with
satisfactory results in every case. You
can buy a sample bottle for ten cents to

1t is really refreshing TO see Blaine
come so promptly to the front draped in
the bloody-shirt banner. and announce his
intention Of waving it from now until 1880,
and as much longer as may seem desirable.
The resolution offered by him in the SEN
ate means nothing less than complstere-
opening of the southern question, with a
view to obtain electioneering material for
the next presidential campaign. In other
words, Blaine and his friends-which
means the republican party in congress
intend to force the fighting, and to fight
on the old issue which many sanguine per-
sons fondly believed was dead and buried
forever. The st. Louis Republican says
of Blaine's action the hollow truce has
collapsed, and the country now knows, what
it might have known before, that there
never will be any permanent peace on the
southern question until the republican
party is hopelsssly crushed. Just SO long
as it has any political strength whatever,
just so long will it endeavor to rule the
south through negroes and carpet baggers,
Its promises and pledges are not worth the
breath that carries them.

AS the time approaches for John Sher-
man to try his experiment of redemption
there is considerable inquiry about our
paper money and the important laws that
regulate it. The State Register in reply

from the second edition United States

interesting to some of our readers.

How he was weaned from his Cups.

How he was Weaned from his Cups.
A young wife in Michigan had just got
settled in her new home. All seemed fair
and promising, for she did not know her
husband was drunkard. But one night
he came home at very late hour, and
much the worse for liquor. When he
staggered into the house, the wife, who
was greatly shocked, told him he was sick,
and made him lie down at once, and in a
moment or two he was comfortably settled
on the sofa in a drunken sleep. His face
was reddish purple, his breathing heavy,
and altogether he was a pitiable- looking
object. The doctor was sent for post-haste
and mustard applied to his feet and hands.
When the doctor came and felt biz
pulse, and examined him, and found that
he was only drunk, he said
He will be all right in the morning.
But the wife insisted that he was very
sick, and that severe remedies must b
used.
You must shave his head and appl!
blisters, +" she urged, "or | will send 20
some one who will. j"
The husbands head was accordingly
shaved closely and blisters applied. Th
patient lay all night in q drunken sleep
and, notwithstanding. the blisters wer

Postal Sayings Banks.

The attempt to Dopularize our loans and
get TIE national debt into the hands of our
own people, as other nations, especially
France, has done, seems to us to be step
in the right direction; but we hardly think
secretary Sherman will be successful in the
plan he proposes, at this time, from the
fact that the people who, under his plan,
are expected to investlstheir earnings in
government bonds are not in a condition to
put their money where they cannot readily
draw it as necessity may demand. The
plan proposed by the secretary of the
treasury. which was briefly outlined in our
telegraphic dispatches, is the passage of
law authorizing bonds for so small sum
as ten dollars, and to make the postofices
agents for their sale. The treasury would
issue certificates of deposit for sums not
less than ten dollars, bearing interest at
the rate of 65-l00 per cent. per annum,
these certificates being exchsngeable for
four per cent, bonds of the same amount
at any time within year. 1t is probable
that a considerable amount of four per
cent. bonds could be disposed of by this
method, enabling the government to call in
a corresponding amount Of six per cent.
bonds and save two per cent, interest. Be
sides bene6ttipg the treasury it would be q
convenience to such people of moderate
means as can part with their money for
some length Of time. But its chief ad-
vantage would be in paving the way for
regular postal savings banks, snch as are
working satisfactorily in England, in Can
ada and 10 many other countries, and
which will do more towards promoting the
habit of saving among a class of people
who now spend all they earn than any sys-
TEN or plan that can be devised. People
who have but little money and are depend
ent upon their daily labor for living are
obliged to Keep their savings where they
, can control them or use them in cases of ne
cessity, which are liable to occur at any time
What they need is something like an ordi-
nary savings bank, where small sums can
be deposited, but without the risk that at
tends the savings bank we now have.
