Agony Caused by a Spiders Bite.

On last Saturday morning the wife of
Mr. W. J. Rochelle, living near Bran
don, Hill county, Texas, was bitten on
the leg by a small brown spider. At
first the bite felt like a bee sting, but
the pain soon passed of, and she
gave it no more thought until about 8
o'clock. when she was seized with the
most excruciating pain in every part OF
her system. The flesh for some distance
around the bite turned black, and her
whole body became spotted. The doc
tor was sent for, who administered OPT.
ates, and cupped the flesh where it had
been bitten. She continued, in spite OF
remedies, to suffer the greatest agony
until Monday morning, when she began
to experience some relief. At last ac,
counts she was still in a critical con
dition.-HilISbOro EfpOSttOr.

The British Nightmare.

The London Agricultural Gdsette
says that none but q bold man would
venture to deny hat American compe-
tition is the great nightmare of avery
English producer. @Not merely in the
abundant surplus ofprairies bounded by
the setting sun, but also in minor arti-
cles, toward the perfection of which
human skill and labor enters, the toe Of
America gals Britannia's heel En-
glish bacon, cheese and butter, In their
ordinary shapes, have been driven out
Of the shops by American importations.
The Black country and Birmingham
manufacturers have been startled by
London builders declaring their prefer
ence for American locks. One day the
cattle-growers of Ireland and the sheep
stockers of Scotland are startled BY
fleets that sail into the Liverpool har-
Dor with cargoes of fresh meat and live
cattle. The next the fruit-growers of
Kent see their Ribston pippins and
@Blenheim oranges" ~encroached upon
by Baldwins and Rhode Island green
ings." It is many years since British
farmers boughtthe Dukes of Oxford and
Thorndale to improve their own short
horns, and now their cracks" at Ep-
som and Newmarket surrender to Pa
poose and Parole. This, says the Lon
don paper, cannot all be the effect of
soil and climate. Nor can the scale be
turned SO effectively by the mere differ
ence in the burden of taxation. Labor,
in many of the cases recorded, costs
more in the United States THANH n Great
Britain. At the root of the matter is
the difference between the two coun-
tries in the way of conceiving and car
rying out the work. The English
farmer, manufacturer, laborer, think
they have no more to learn when they
are able to do a thing as their fathers
did it before them. The main matter
with them is to follow precedents close
ly, to find out the old way, fully con-
tent to believe that way the best. The
American does not worship the old
way at all. On the contrary, he does
not believe but that, if he applies his
mind to the subject, he may discern not
only a new way which is better than
the old, but one which will enable him
to bring in some machine or invention
of some sort to simplify methods and
sove labor

A Practical Economist.

An aged man in a coarse suit, with a
decidedly hungry look, walked into a
bakery at Lewiston, Me. The baker
smilingly stepped forward. "Can I take
a lunch here2" asked the man. "Yes,
sir" said the baker, and placing a stool
in front of a table told the man to be
seated, and asked him what he would
have. "Oh, I brought my lunch with
me" ~innocently replied the man. he
pulled two crackers from one vest pocket,
ished out a large chunk of cheese and a
piece of cake carefully wrappedin brown
paper from another pocket, and asked
if he could be accommodated with glass
of water. The baker replied that they
we're out of water, and tried his best to
sell the man a glass of milk, which he
refused. He was observed to wrap uI
half a cracker and return it to his pocket
smack his lips, get into a hay rack and
drive of.

In the Sewers.

In the famous sewers Of Paris, the
travelling conveniences are superior to
many above ground. The hand-cars
for passengers T neatly made and
furnished with cane seats. You may
SIT as in an Irish jaunting-car, facing
either side. OF the two other seats,
one faces front, the other rear. Each
car or truck has four lamps. The pro-
polling power is men, four to q truck.
Thoy roll directly owe the sewer, the
rails being laid on either side. The
sewer in some places equals q good
sized mining-ditch in dimension, with a
pretty rapid current. Icannot give the
depth of water. I had no ambition to
take soundings. One investigating
passenger tried it with his cane, but
found no bottom. After that I was
afraid of his cane. The air throughout
averaged a good, strong smell. The
men smoked. The ladies held per
fumed handkerchiefs to their noses.
Many ladies visit the sewers. 1t is con.
sidered entirely the correct thing" to
do. At the Place de La Concorde we
left the cars and took the gondolas
The sewers and stream are here much
wider. Each gondola will held about
twenty persons. Our feet numbered
about five OF six gondolas. Each one
carried a large globular lantern. So we
sailed in the dim, dark passage. Save
an occasional stationary light, it was
dark ahead, dark behind, dark below,
damp and obscure above. The barges
rocked a little, but not s~greeably. The
motion was not exciting. It seemed
like that which might come on a sea o.
molasses in slight agitation. An houl
and a quarter in the sewers of Paris il
enough. You can always r~ecollect the
taste and smell afterward. When W.
emerged from the artificial bowels O
Paris to the earth we doubly appreciated
air and sunlight, and had no inclination
to repeat our experiment.

The Bell.Punch Tax in Virginia.

Inc last Virginia Legislature adopteo
some notifications of the Moffett Reg
lister law, the most important of which
was a reduction of the tax on every al
coholic drink from 2i cents to 1t cents.
The changes went into effect on the LIST
Of May, and at the same time the courts,
in renewing the licenses of dealers,
generally announced that they would be
held to much ~stricter account in future.
The first months returns in Richmond
show hat the s~aloon-keepers are turn
ing the cranks of their registers more
conscientiously than of old. Though
the number of places in the city where
alcoholic registers are used is but 257
this year against $50 last year, the
smaller number recorded 91,9l3. drinks
in May. against but z 1887 by the larger
quota Of registers in April. A similar
increase in the number of malt drinks
registered is noticed, from 104,110 in
April to 121, 639 in May. The tax on
the latter was not changed, but the re-
duction of the levy on alcoholic drinks
nearly one-half brings down the gross
revenue from the registers of both
kinds from 1896 in April to 1886 in

Perish.
From the Denver Tribune.1
A party of sixteen surveyors, In the
employ Of the Government, under the
command of Maj. Medary, left this city
a short time ago, says the Trinidad
Neps, for q tour eastward to Indian
Territory line. Nothing more would
have been thought of the party but for
the arrival in this city yesterday OF Mi
Havenner and q companion, who be-
longed to the corps, who reported the
horrible late of two of their compan-
ions and the narrow escape of three
others. The circumstances of the case
are about as follows:
After leaving Trinidad the company
proceeded eastward, and were 500 at
work locating townships. On the morn
ing of Thursday, the 9th inst, a squad
of five men was sent out from q point
on Willow creek to run a transit due
north eighteen miles, with orders to
Join the camp at nightfall. The men
performed the work assigned them, and
at dusk set out for camp, which had
also been travelling northward during
the day. The surveyors started east
from their objective point, and, after
walking six miles, made camp. In
going in this direction they made a
great mistake; for they should have
gone due west after finishing their work
in order to find the camp wagons.
Comprehending their mistake, and being
thirsty and out of provisions, it was
proposed to travel south in hopes OF
striking the creek. Two of the party
refused to do this, preferring to remain
where they were. hoping that the camp
ing outfit would come up to them in a
few hours. Friday morning the three,
headed by Mr.. Sheets, started for Cariso
springs. They lost their way, and
would have persisted but Tor the timely
arrival on Monday of men from the
camp, who were in search of them.
The search Tor the other two, whose
names were 8. M. Winchester and
William johnson, was continued with
an interest bordering on frenzy. Not
until Monday, the 9th, did the searchers
get any clew of the missing men.
About 2 o'clock p. NJ. on that day the
men came upon poor Winchester out
upon the plains; but he was too fan
gone to be saved. A few drops of water
were given him, but in five minutes he
was a corpse, dying in the arms of a
companion, who had arrived too late.
Further search was made for John
son. A large rock, which lowered uI
grandly on the boundless plains, wat
visited, and there in a crevice was found
q note from Winchester, dated the 7th
saying that johnson and he were lost
but had made up their minds to &c
south in the hope of striking the vii
low.
The note was written in a firm hand
and showed that the writer was in hi
right mind. The diligent searcherl
started south, and altar travelling 81,
miles were rewarded by finding a can
teen belonging to johnson. For thre.
days more they secuted the prairies OF
horseback in every direction, and OF
Thursday, the 18th, gave up the search

An Important aeoioaicai Fact.

Geology has shown us that nature accom-
plishes her greatest revolutions Id the earth's
surface conformation sloirly. Every day the
river makes its channel deeper, the glacier
wears a deeper gorge in the Alpine rock, and
the ocean tide deposits the sand it has crum-
bled from the rocks upon which it breaks. We
note the earthquake and the devastating hur-
ricane but these changes are SO gradual man
seldmo observes them until the channel has
become overhanging cliffs, or q mountain has
disappeared before the icy stream, or the ocean
has given us a Florida. Thus it is in disease.
Our attention is attracted by acute diseases, as
f~evers, cholera, etc., while chronic diseases
(often the most dangerous in, r~esult), being
slow in their development, are seldom noticed
until they have made an almost ineffaceable
impression upon the system. Persons believing
themselves comparatively healthy are oftimes
the victims Of these diseases, and only become
aware of their presence when relief is almost i'm
possible. Diseases of the liver and stomach are
the commonest of these chronic affections. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and Pleas
ant Purgative Pellets are neyer-failing reme-
dies for these diseases. They produce a health
full secretion of the bile, prevent indigestion by
regulating the bowels, and impart o vigorous
tone to the whole system.

Introduction Of Wheat In America.

Prior to the discovery of this con-
tinent by Columbus, there was no cereal
in America approaching in nature the
wheat plant. It was not until 1880 that
wheat found its way into Mexico, and
then only by chance. A slave of Cortez
found a few grains of wheat in a parcel
of rice and showed them to his master,
who ordered them to be planted. The
result showed that wheat would thrive
well on Mexican soil, and to-day OF
the finest wheat valleys in the world is
near the Mexican capital. From Mexi-
CO the cereal found its way to Peru,
Maria D Escobar, wife of Don Diego de
Chauves, carried a few grains to Lima
which were planted, the entire product
being used for seed for several success.
sive crops. At Quito, in Ecuador, a
monk of the order of st. Francis, by the
name of Fray Iodosi Rixi, introduced
the new cereal; and it is said that the
jar which contained the seed planted is
still preserved by the monks of Quito
Wheat was introduced into the present
limits of the United States, contempor'
aneously with the settlement Of on,
country by the English and Dutch.

The cause Of languor, when It is not the i'm
mediate or indirect consequence of positive
disease, is traceable to a facilitating tempera-
ture. Persons living in a warm, moist climate
are peculiarly subject to it. Diminished physi-
cal vigor and an indisposition to active exer-
ton are its characteristics. Sometimes it is
accompanied by undue relaxation of the bowels
and by dyspeptic or bilious symptoms. A reli-
able remedy is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a
strengthening and Alternative medicine derived
from the purest and most eficacious vegetable
sources, with a pure spirituous basis, pronounced
by eminent physicians a mild and wholesome
stimulant. The Bitters, foremost of American
t%onics, is largely used in the tropics, where the
climate is very productive of debility, malarial
fevers, and disorders of the bowels, liver and
digestive organs.

WEATHER SIaNs.-When I

WEATHER SIGNS. When the swal-
lows fly low, wet weather may be ex-
pected, because the insects which the
swallows pursue in their fight are fly
ing low to escape the moisture of the
upper regions of the atmosphere.
Stars twinkle ON account of their light
reaching us through variously- heated
and moving currents of air. Hence
much twinkling of the stars f~oretells
bad weather, because it denotes that
there are various aerial currents of diff
ferent temperatures and densities pro-
ducing atmospheric disturbance.

Indian Atrocities.

A telegram from Fort Peck, NJ. T., August
2, via Bismarck, D.. T., August z, says that
rumors coming in report renewed atrocities on
the part of the Indians. Alexander Work,
~wood-cutter, was attacked by a party of twelve
Sioux, and after killing three of them, was over
powered and burned at the stake. Charles
Stevens was also attacked, and escaped. The
families of several settlers have arrived at Bis
marck, and there is q belief that there is q
large fighting body of Indians between General
Miles command and Fort Peck. The garrison
consists of two companies of the Sixth Infantry,
sent up from Fort Stephenson, and they are
well in~trenched.

deals were driven to sea. Irving's
warehouse was utterly destroyed. A large
school building with furniture and library is a
total loss, and timbers a ton weight were raised
and carried several hundred feet with the viO-
lence of a tempest. An old molding shop and
another building at the ship-yard were swept
away. Fences were leyeled in all directions,
