Hon w. E. Foster, presiding at the Cob
den Club dinner, London, a few nights ago,
made a speech on the Eastern question, tax
ing the same general grounds against the
Governments policy as Mr.. Gladstone. He
said he and other Liberals had hesitated to
challenge the Government while negotia-
tons were pending, lest a strong opposition
might encourage Russia in her warlike at
titude, or a weak one encourage our own
rulers, but he declared that the Liberal
leaders are now agreed that they will make
their protest and take division, regardless of
their weakness or strength. They will give
the country an opportunity by a long de-
bate and thorough ventilation of the SUBJ
ject, to maturely consider whether or motif
approves of the Governments acts.

Milestone. ON the Road to Health.

The recovery of digestion and the resump.
ton of activity by the liver, bowels and kid
neys are milestones which mark our. pro-
gress on the road to health. They speedily
become p%erceptible when Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is used by the invalid.
Nothing SO surely and expeditiously con-
sumes the distance to the desired goal. As
no bodily function can suffer interruption
without impairing the general health Of the
system, so the system can never acquire
perfect vigor, health's synonym, until that
function be actively resumed. Take, for in
stance. digestion, a suspension of which is
invariably rectiied by the Bitters. If the
organs upon which it devolves grow
weak, biliousness, constipation, headache,
poverty of blood, and a hundred other symp.
toms supervene, which indicate unmistak
ably the baneful influence of dyspepsia.
The disappearance of these symptoms
through the use of the Bitters shows with
what t~horoughness it removes their causes

"Here we are Again.

Once more the stage from Tucson
has been stopped and plundered by
single highwayman. The stage
left Tucson last Thursday with two
passengers; and, as 1t happened,
Arthur Hill was again the driver.
Mr.. John Miller, one of the pas
sengers, was sitting on the outside,
and as they neared the Point of
the mountain he asked Mr.. Hill to
show him the place where the
coach was robbed on July 3lst.
Mr.. Hill replied that it was only q
short distance ahead and he would
point out the spot. They reached
the place. "There," said Mr.. Hill,
"the robber was hid behind that
bush;n Mr.. Miller nodded, ''and
there he is again." shouted the
driver with the same breath,
as the same masked robber
sprang from behind the same
brush, and pranced before
the horses shouting, eyes,

gentlemen on the box can

Shooting ARRAY at Wilmington.

A shooting ARRAY occurred at
Wilmington early yesterday morn.
ing, between DR.. Johnson and O
sailor named Matthew Joyce, in
which the latter was seriously,
perhaps fatally, wounded. From
a gentleman who came up from
there yesterday we get the fol-
lowing particulars. On Tuesday
night several men were In the bar
room of the Wilmington Hotel,
drinking, carousing, playing cards,
and, altogether, making a night Of
it. Among the party were DR..
Johnson, of Wilmington, and Mat
thew Joyce,a sailor stopping temp
orarily at the port. About
o'clock yesterday morning these
two men got into dispute as to
the appointments of Kingston har-
Dor. The lie was given and an as
sault followed, Joyce grasping the
Doctor by the whiskers and en-
deavoring to cut his throat. By
ISLANDERS interfered and prevented
bloodshed, and, after another at
tempt or two had been made by the
enraged men to get at each other,
they were finally separated. The
Doctor, it seems, had his blood up
to the boiling point after the squab-
BILE and nights carouse, and he
wanted more fighting. He went to
the house of q friend near the
postoffice and aroused him
from his bed to borrow u gun,
as he said, for the pur-
pose of going hunting. Going back
to the hotel he went to room in
which he thought Joyce had taken
shelter and pounded upon the door
in a most violent manner, threat
ening to shoot il not admitted.
Upon being assured that his man
was not within, he left the door, \
taking up his station on the front
verandah and walking back and
forth. Here he remained for some
time fiourishing his gun and de-
claring that he would have the life
of any man who would try to cut
him with q knife. Those who saw
the Doctor at this time say that he
did not appear to be very much
intoxicated or greatly excited,
although doubtless his actions
were prompted by anything but
sober impulse. Joyce soon came
into sight, walking along the
street, and DIR. Johnson leveled |
his piece upon him. Joyce, seeing
this, rushed towards his antago-
mist. The Doctor retreated step |
or two, still holding the gun in |
place and attempting to warn the |
other of, but Joyce grasped the gun
and struggle began. The sailor,
it seems, had a knife in his hand,
and in the melee inflicted wound
in the Doctors right shoulder, evil
IDENTIFY striking for the neck. At
this juncture the gun exploded.
For an instant 1t was impossible
to tell what the result Of the ex-
plosion had been, as both men
were rolling in the dust. Then
DR.. johnson got up and 1t was seen
that the sailor had been shot. He
received the charge on the right
side of the abdomen, just above
the hip bone. 1t passed through
the body, and coming out on the
left side penetrating the intes-
tines.
DR.. Johnson was taken into GUS
tody by the constable of the place,
and held, pending an examination
aud commitment by the Justice of
the Peace. Sheriff Mitchell, mean.
while went down on the morning
train to take charge of the prisoner.
and, up to last evening had not re-
turned. The physician who at
tended the wounded man declared
that he could not possibly live
through the day.

He has the earnest sympathy of his
many friends. The stage arrived
at Desert Station just about dark,
and parties left for Tucson imme-
diately to notify the authorities.
We understand that the Sheriff's
posse. while on their way to the
scene of the robbery, met lone
hersemeu, with whom they con-
versed, but did not arrest. This
shows want of judgment or
courage, or both. The next morn
ing the posse took the robbers
track and trailed il directly back to
the place where th ey met the lone
horseman. No arrests have yet
been made.--AriSon0 Citizen.
