The final payments of the four per
cent. loan were made on Tuesday of last
week by the First National bank of New
York. The payments for bonds sold in
the United States were completed last
week, and it was expected that the pay
ments for bonds sold abroad would be
made in London, but on account of the
small supply in that market of called
bonds and coupons, it became necessary
to pay balance of $685. 900 in money,
which the treasury department declined
to receive in London in gold, and this
amount was therefore paid over in New
York, and deposited with the assistant
treasurer of the United States. This
payment is the end of the four per cent.
settlement, and from this time the treas
ury will gradully return, by the redemp-
ton of called bonds, some $50 900, 600 of

of the Lawrence Journal. denounces the
fusion with democrats and sore-heads in
terms almost as explicitand emphatic as
did Elder Mitchell few days since,
when he exclaimed: mo league with the

illustration of the tone of his letter, we
append the following ebullition ofhis dis
gust over the way the Greenbackers have
managed things in Douglas county:
"The central committee has been tam
pered with. Old blue-bellied Democrats
were foisted into its membership, and
SFeak-kneed Greenbackers were seduced
into plan of "miscegenation" that has
ut last eliminated in the disgraceful re-
suit we now witness"
There amt many "blue-bellied Demo
Gratis" foisted into the ranks of the Re.

Deadwood has a plucky set of men for
disaster to contend with. Before their
recent terrible fire had quit burning
workmen tied wet napkins about their
heads and went to raking away the
heated debris, preparatory to erecting
new structures. No relief committees
have been organized, and none are need
ed. There is no distress, as other mining
towns have provided shelter for the in
habitants, and even the prices of provis-
ions have not advanced extOrtionately.
Temporary sheds have been erected all
over the vacant lots, and eastern mer-
chants have offered to supply the bust
ness men of the place with new stocks
even before such favor was asked. As
an instance of the vitality of The town,
it is stated that the proprietor of the
Deadwood Times was offered, just after
the fire, $4,000 for the name alone of his
paper, but the offer was not taken, and
the proprietor put up temporary shan
ty, hung out his sign and Immediately
started east after new material.

A Curious Case.

About six years ago Mir. Thos. Simpson young man merchandising on Arkansas River below Pine Bluff, had an attack of meningitis, MT. Simpson was dangerously ill for several weeks, and was in an uncon- scious condition most of that time. Finally he began to recover, and rapidly regained his bodily strength. though strange to say he had entire ly lost his memory, and the power of speech. After time he could utter short simple words which he had learned by frequently hearing the family use them. Though he did not at first know the meaning of any of them, He would often form letters and sometimes words with his pen. This seems 10 have been by accident or from force of habit. Finally the idea that he might be taught over," suggested itself to his friends, and one of them under took his instruction, commencing with the alphabet. He was put through regular course of studies. He now reads and writes correctly and is very fair business man. He says that he remembers nothing of his past life. He failed to recog- nize any of his old acquantances. Did not remember his own name. He was shown several letters writ ten by himsellf prior to hls illness. He could read none of them at firsl, and now that he understands them, he does not recollect having written them.-Lonoke Democrat.
