A British Disease.

The most marked popularity that will
impress the American traveller when he
walks the streets of London for the first
time, is the great number of excessively
fat people whom hereverywhere meets.
He at FIRST supposes these persons to be-
long to the $obility, on the same prin-
ciple that lie would pronounce them al
dermen or bankers if seen in Boston or
New York; in brief|he labors under
the popular though mistaken impression.
that obesity is invariably the combined
result of laziness and high living; while
in reality it is a constitutional disease.
Until very recently there was no known
remedy for this uncomfortable disease,
and its victims were obliged to submit to
the vexation and not infrequent mortifi-
cation that it occasions. Allan's Anti
Fat is the cnly remedy for this disease,
and removes the abnormal condition by
purely natural means. Ask your drug,

The Last Arrow.

During the expedition of the French
against the confederate five nations in
New York, in 1896, the following incl
dent occurred. Kiodago, Mohawk chief,
had, for his lwifeCa beautiful half breed
girl whose father was said to be no less a
parsonage than the governor-general of
New France, the veteran Count de From
tenac. A small force Of French muske-
teers and pikemen surprised the sum-
mer camp of Kiodago's band at what is
now called Trenton Falls, just before
daylight, when, not dreaming Of an at
tack, they were wrapped in slumber.
Hand grenades set their logs on fire, and
murderous assault was made upon the
half awakened natives. Some perished
in the, flames; some were cut down in
the combat and others still, among
whom was Kiodago and his wife, escaped
to. the hills. A small party marking the
course pursued by Kiodago, followed.
The valiant chief had lost both his toma-
hawk andtwar club in the strife, but he
still carried his trusty bow, and three
arrows. The warrior determined,
that life must tell for :, the
loss of each arrow. Two arrows. were
sent whistling from the bow, carrying de-
struction with them; but just as he was
drawing the bow for the last time shot
from musket carried away his thumb.
The warrior betook himself to flight,
now bounding over the rugged crags,
now crossing and recrossing the noun
tain torrent to mislead his pursuers, and
finally rejoined his wife at the entrance
of cavern, where she had sunk down
in utter exhaustion, pressing her babe to
her bosom. Soon. however, voices were
heard, and looking down they discovered
a party led by renegade scout pressing
forward in the direction of their rocky
fastness. The chief grasped his remain
ing arrow with his bleeding fingers, and
aimed at the leading one Of the pursuing
party. 1t struck the steel cuirass of the
officer, and glanced off harmlessly, but
transfxed the heart of the scout, who in
his dying fall grasped the sword chain of
the, cheyalier, and the two went down
the glen together The third man aban-
doned the pursuit. Kiodago and his
beautiful wife escaped, and many of
their descendants are still living to tell
the taleo the last arrow.

HENDRICKS.
He Does Not Refuse the Second Place
The Indiana Democracy.


Later in the day / was permitted to
talk with another gentleman of similar
politics, one of the chief spokes in the
Democratic wheel. met him occasion
ally on the cars, and he talks freely and
apparently very frankly, but always on
condition that his name shall not be
used. I am at liberty to say, however,
that no man in the Democratic party
stands higher, or is better posted, nor is
there one who better understands the
motive which prompt mems actions:
"Did the Governor consult your l
asked, after speaking generally of the
WorlPs interview for few moments.
stNo, sir; nor any one else that l am
aware of. Had he done so, hardly
think he would have made the mistake
he has,"
"But why do you regard it a mis-
take?
because it is fourteen months before
the convention, and before that time
public opinion may be formed and re-
formed, and candidates made and un-
made"
"Then you regard his action proper
enough, only he has spoken too soon?"
I suggested.
'fNo, not that alone. He has certainly
spoken too soon, but he had better not
spoken at all. He is already misunder-
stood. Besides, he is beginning to dis
cover how firm hold Mr.. Tilden has
upon Indiana. Several papers which re.
fleet the sentiment of their localities have
spoken so loudly, in fact, that his friends,
notably Mr.. Edgerton, of Fort Wayne,
have found it necessary torally the Dem
ocrscy of the State to stand firm and de-
mand that Mr.. Hendricks shall have the
first place"
'But do you understand that he posi-.
lively refuses to accept the second
placer" 81
"No, sir, do not. 1 do not know
what he may have said in his letter to
Senator Mcdonald, but he says no such
thing in his interview. His language is,
Il do not feel under any obligations to
again accept second place upon the
ticket. was beaten in the last conven-
ton, and accepted my defeat and be-
came candidate for an office which I
did not desire. I don't think that | am
called upon to do this again. There's
no threat and no refusal in this"
SIS there anything in it?"
ssI do not see that there is. Ifhis par
ty should nominate him again for the
second place, he could not refuse to ac-
cept it" ~
''But can you carry Indisna without
Mr.. Hendricks on the ticket2"
'About as easily as with him. Mr..
Hendricks is very popular, and desery-
edly so; but it was the Democratic party
that carried Indiana in 1875, aud it will
be the Democratic party in 1880. Sue
cess depends upon the nomination of no
man." .b7& ci'7-K
"But Mr.. Tilden aided the Democrat
ic party good deal in 1876"
"Undoubtedly. But we are en- top in
this State, and we shall remain so for
some years to come, at any rate"

a Farmers Reason.

They had forgotten politics and were
on home matters. One farmer was ex-
planning to the other the high way to
better times. 9a-:t.
He said when you bring your cotton to
the market let it call for the money. If
the prices don't suit you, store it, unit,
you are willing to sell. : ~ FL ~ -
Ifit calls for the money, you have no
credit account to pay. And when you
sell your cotton, having apaid your mer-
chant cash for his goods,you will pocket
that profit which the merchant gets when
you buy on credit. - -,
He continued: Farmers want money
to buy something to eat and wear. He
said he raised meat, beef, mutton, pork
and bacon at home! He raised wheat
and corn and a power of yegeta bles and
esculents at the same place. This farmer
has something to eat. .5sl.o
The old lady and the girls thought
year before last that he, the old man,
would have to, buy some cloth on credit.
They rugged up the old spinning wheels
and the war time loom and made that
cloth. This kept him from buying on
credit, and left him with money in his
pocket. The next year he used it close
ly, and bought entirely for cash. AT the
end of last year he had eight bales Of
cotton. It1brought him four hundred
and three dollars. One hundred and
twenty-six dollars of that money paid
cash all his accounts this, year and ,pur-
chased him some valuable farming i'm
plements., He has now;two hundred and
seventy.seyen dollars. at interest. He
has also ten bales oficotton made this
year, which he says he will sell whenever
he pleases. -.
He has a crib full of corn, has wheat,
oats, peas, potatoes in abundance, and a
fine lot of hogs and cattle, all raised at
home. He says he feels Independent,
and wants his farming brethren to know
the secret of his independence.
Make all at home for one year. He
says no man need say he cannot do so.
The war proved to the contrary. Let ali
the cotton made call for cash, and not go
to paying high credit accounts. This is
the way sensible old farmer views the
situation. Reader, do You think he is
right or wrong?-Sparta (La.) Times. s,

!, AN ANEcDorE OF QUEEN YIc1pRIA.--
The Queen was not twenty years of age
when she ascepded|the throne. Coming
into possession ,ofpoweriwith "a heart
fresh. tender and dpure,, and With all her
instincts inclined, to. mercy, we may be
sure that she found many things that
ried her strength of resolution to the ut!
most. On q bright, beautiful morning,
the young Queen was waited upon at her
palace, at Windsor, by the Duke of Well
iington. he had brought from London
various papers requiring her signature to-
make them operative. One of them was
? a sentence of court martial pronounced
against soldier of the line; that SEN
tence that he be shot dead. The Queen
looked upon the paper, and then looked
upon the wondrous beauties that nature
had spread to her view. "What has
this man done?" she asked. The, Duke
looked at the paper, and replied: eAh !!
my royal mistress, that man, / fear, is
incorrigible. He has deserted three
times.'S 'And can YOU not say anything
in his behalf, my Lordf Wellington
shook his head. "Oh, think again, L
pray youw Seeing that her Majesty
was so deeply moved, aud feeling sure
she would not have the man shot in any
event, he finally confessed that the man
was brave and gallant and really good
soldier. "But," he added, think of the
influence "Inauence~ the Queen
cried, her eyes flashing and her bosom
beayipg with strong emotion. "Let it
be ours to yield influence. 1 will try
mercy in this mans case, and I charge
You, your Grace, to let me know the re-
suit. A good soldier, you said. Oh, 1
thank yoIfor tliat.. And youmay tell him
that your good word saved him." Then
she took the paper and wrote with, a
bold, firm hand, across the dark page,
the bright, saving word T%Pardoned." I"
The Duke was fond of telling the story,
and he was willing also to confess that
the giving of that paper to the pardoned
soldier gave him far more joy than he
could have experienced from the taking
of. city. London Journal.
