Honor Among Thieves.

Bellew, in his account of the mission
which he accompanied into Afghanis-
tan, tells most remarkable story.
which may be quoted as illustrating not
only the determination which the race
is capable of, but of a sense of honor
such was the word the relator used ;
and, although it is only honor among
thieves, there was mixed with it desire
for the honor of the family to which the
hero of the story belonged which would
be creditable anywhere. The person
who tells the tale was called Khan Gul,
and he was one of the actors in it. The
whole of his family had, at a former pc
Rod, became a band of robbers, which
occupation they practiced, seemingly on
the sly, and their neighbors were kept
in the dark about their doings. They
had determined on robbing n house ut
some distance, and, going there during
the night, they made hole through the
mud wall. Khan Gul's brother, like
Oliver Twist, was passed in, and he be-
gan to hand out whatever was within his
reach. The people in the house Glanced
to waken up, upon which the brother

the act of returning through the hole in
the wall, those on the inside caught him
by the feet. Now began tug like the
tug of war;" fiercely they pulled to get
him out of the hole, but it was useless;
those within had one or two holding on
to each leg, and the burglar was held as
if in WISE The fear that they would
be recognized and detected became mt
last the dominant feeling, and, as they
could not possibly pull him ont, they
determined on an extreme measure, and
one so very extreme that it is hard TO
believe it could have occurred to any
others than these knife-using Afghans.
The only plan left to prevent identity
was to cut off the head, carrying it
away and leave the body, and the very
striking part of this tale lies in the fact
that it was done at the suggestion of the
man himself, and, as he expressed it at
the instant, so that he honor of the
family might be preserved undefled."
This was done. They fled with the
head only, leaving all the spoil which
he'd been thrown out, and, as Khan Gul
ended the story he thanked God that
the honor of his house had by these
means been preserved. There is some
thing heroic in such acts. Neither
Agamemnon nor Achilles, as described
by Homer, suggests character capable
of such self-devotion.-C Cor. London

Yes, although they may despair of relief, il is
attaiuable by rheumatic sufferers for there is q
remedy which carries of, by means of increased
activity of the ddneys-important channels for

likewise celebrated as a remedy for constipation,
which causes contamination Of the blood with

As a general inquiry of "whst is drace's
Salve, and who is its originator?" may seem 10
be question worthy Of being answered, we
have been induced to give the following brief,
yet truthful account of its history: This salve
is vegetable preparation invented in the seven
teenth century by Dr. William Grace, who was
surgeon in King James army, and who from.
that time always used il in his professional prac-
tice, whenever soreness or inflammation pre-
sented itself. Az a medical agent for the cure of
wounds, il was followed with great success, and
thousands of tho veterans that were wounded in
the campaigns of 1858 and 1889 owed TO this
salve the salvation of their lives Col Richard
Grace, who was King James chamberlain,
introduced this Salve into the royal palace,
where it was used with the greatest success, and
highly esteemed for its virtues in the cure of sores
AT the siege of Athlone, Col Grace ordered
IT To be administered to his compatriots who
were wounded during the memorable day of the
battle; anditwas used with such success that the
head surgeon of the army ut Aughrim ordered
Or Grace To manufacture 100 gross and dis
tribute II among the hospitals before tho battle.
On tho sad defeat at Aughrim, after Ginkle's
army took possession of the battlefield, several
ambulances, which had been abandoned by the
retreahng army, were found to contain sealed
cases Of the Salve. The English surgeons test
Cd III upon Their wounded and aScertalned It's
value and thus were both of the contendng
armies befriended by il. Both Dr. William
Grace and Col. Richard Grace died in the cam
paign of l69l-the former of disease, the latter
killed in the intrenchments of Athlone with the
flag of his country wrapped around him, cheer
ing his men on to victory. After the death of
Dr. Grace, the Salve was not used much outside
of his family, until the rebellion OF 1898 when
William Grace, grandfather of the subscriber
applied its virtues, at the battle Of Ross TO his
brave comrades who fell wounded while fight
ing for the rights of their country This Salve
was quite extensively used in certain localities of
Ireland, being furnished gratuitously by the
Subscribers parents until 1913, when they left
the land of their nativity and came to this
country, bringing with them the secret of the
Salve they received from their ancestors. They
continued to make the Salye, as before, for their
neighbors, free of charge, until the fall of 1861
when the frequent calls for it, and the serious
cases cured by it, induced the subscriber to
bring it into more general notice, and to charge
a small price for the article that has received
the recommendation of patriots upon the battle
fields of yore as well as from persons of the
present day. - Toronto Ad0ertiSer, March

A Sudden Death.

There is something terrible in the thought OF
having our friends stricken down ut our side,
without parting word of endearment or conso-
lation-one moment at our side in the flush of
vigorous life, cheering our hearts with their low
death, deaf to our cries and needless of our
tears. Every excessively fat person is in instant
danger of such death. Seven-tenths of the
victims of obesity die of heart disease or apo
plexy. Allan's Anti-Fat, the only remedy for
obesity, reduces the weight by regulating the
digestion and assimilation of the food. Ii is
perfectly harmless and its use will insure, in
every instance, reduction of weight from two
to five pounds week

A Boys Idea Of BOYS.

A Norwich teacher was practicing her
youthful class in original composition,
and gave one pupil the subject "Boy +"
to write upon. The subject was to be
treated on in three parts-frst, what is
il? second, what is its use? and third,
what is il made of? The lad wrestled
hard for few minutes in desperate per-
plexity, and then wandered up to the
teachers desk, radiant with enthusiasm,
and submitted the following: "A boy
is an animal; his use is to carry in
wood he is made of bones -Norlcich

The authentic figures Of actual failures
all over the United States during the third
quarter of the year have been awaited with
more interest than usual, owing to the large
numbers who sought to avail themselves of
the National Bankrupt Law prior to its eX-
piration, ;eptembcr l. The statistics for
the quarter and for the first nine months of
the year are now furnished by the Mercan-
tile Agency of Dun, Barlow & Co., of New
York city, and show as follows The num-
Der of failures for the third quarter of 1878
were 1858, as compared with 1916 in the
same quarter last year. The liabilities for
the last quarter are 366,OOO,O0O, as compar-
ed with $42,OOO,O0O in the same period of
1877. For the first nine months of 1878,
the failures number S67s, as compared with
65G5 for the same period in 1877. The lia-
bilities for the first nine months of 1873 are
Sl97 900 900, against $l4l 900 for the
nine months of 1877. 1t Is admitted that
the petitions in bankruptcy filed in the pc
rioG named considerably exceed the figures
given above, but it must be understood that
large number of the applicants for relief
were either those whose failures had been
previously reported, or those who had gone
out of business or were not engaged in mer-
camille pursuits, and hence not included in
the mercantile failures. The above figures
refer to the failures only among those who
were in active business and suspended pay
ment during the period under review. The
agency considers that the number of actual
failures were not as large as might have
been anticipated among seven hundred
thousand traders reported in business and
in view of the temptation offered to obtain
relief from past misfortunes or anticipated
embarrassment. The trade of the country
| is believed to have survived what threaten.
ed to be serious shock to confidence and
credit, growing out of the circumstances o
the repeal of the Bankrupt law, and, except
ing the unfortunate epidemic in the South
the general conditions of trade are more
healthy than at any time since 1873.

The New York Herald, ofthe 10Th inst,
sums up for the Nationals the following re-
suits in the recent elections: The Western
Nationals were, after all, playing what they
would call "bluff game" and scared the
weak-kneed Democrats on very "thin
hand" A comparison of their positive pub
lished "claims" before the election and the
net result makes their movement ridiculous.
The greenback national organs claimed a
hundred Thousand votes in Indiana and
three Congressman. They cast in that State,
where they are strongest, only thirty thous-
and votes, and with the help of the Demo-
Gratis, not by their own votes, elected one
Congressman. They claimed one hundred
thousand votes in Ohio, and three Congress
men, and they cast, as nearly as we can tell
from imperfect returns, less than thirty
thousand votes and elected no Congressman.
They claimed a Congressman in West Yir-
ginia, but elected none. Having made a
combination with the Democrats in Iowa
they claimed four Congressman, but, with
the help Of democratic votes, managed to
elect only two, and it is clear that if they
had stood alone they would have got none.
That is to say, they had not in Ohio and
Indiana, the two States where they have the
greatest strength, third of the vote they
claimed, and if ithad not been for democratic
help they would not have elected a single
Congressman anywhere. 1t is absurd for
them to talk any longer of a great popular
movement The tide is setting fast against
them, and they have made their last show
ing, and that amounts to just three demo
cratic Representatives elected by the assist
ance of greenback votes. That is all, and il
is pretty poor second fiddle.

The members of the Vermont Legisa-
ture have just voted to each one of them
selves two daily newspapers and one weekly
paper during the session. There is no OBJ
lection to legislators reading newspapers.
On the contrary, the habit should be encour-
aged, both for their own sakes and the sake
of the people they legislate for. But they
ought to pay for their newspapers out OF
their own pockets, and not throw the expense
on the State.

The Mexican Congress, which assem-
bled last month, will remain in session un-
til the 18th of December. Congress meets
twice every year, the present session being
devoted to the passage or sbrogation Of
general laws and the discussion of interna-
tionsl questions. The pay of Senators and
Deputies alike is $4,000 year and mileage,
The lobby does not amount to much, and
the San Francisco Chronicle is authority for
the statement that "the Mexican Congress,
as a body, is singularly free from the charge
of corruption, and rarely are Senators and
Deputies found to be leagued with infamous
schemes to plunder the people"

over again, only on larger scale, and with
greatly increased variety of episode. 1t
need scarcely be said that I allude to that
class Of general sight-seers which 80 enor-
mously preponderates over the comparative

tion for some definite purpose of art or bust
ness, or both combined, and who expect to
make tangible profit in one way or another
out of their study of the latest achievements
Of agricultural Of engineers,of potters, of up
hosterers, and of builders. The general
visitors have been or are going to Paris part
ly because they like to see all Exhibitions of
every kind, partly because they fancy that
they ought to see this particular Exhibition
for the sake of being as other men are, and
of obtaining material for small-talk, and
partly because,i if the truth be- told they grasp
eagerly at any excuse for a holiday in the
recreative ground of Europe The impress
