TIE Story Of Two Brave Irish Boys.

JUST as the Committee of the Ouch
ess of Marlborough's Relief Fund were
about to hold their meeting in Dublin,
the other day, two little boys, half
naked, travel-stained and bare-footed,
sought admission to the castle, stating
that they had walked all the way from
Skibbereen, County Cork, to plead for
help to pay their fathers rent. He had
bit of land, but the times were so bad
he could not pay the "rint," and he
owed eight pounds sterling. Having
gone round among the friends and
neighbors, he could only scrape to-
gether six pounds sterling. The two
children, who had seen respectively
twelve and fourteen summers, thought
they would ask the good Duchess Of
Marlborough to give daddy the two
pounds sterling. Away they started
for Dublin, begging their food and lodg-
ings, and enquiring the way from town
to town. The journey, upward of two
hundred miles, occupied three weeks.
Her Grace expressed admiration of their
filial affection, while she gratified them
to their hearts content by promising to
send their father the two pounds
sterling. They were then, by command
of Her Grace, taken to the clothes
room, and their tattered garments
changed for a new suit of tweed each.
Having been regaled with substantial
dinner, they were brought before the
ladies of the committee, who rewarded
the brave Adventures with pocketful
OF silver. Next morning they took
their first ride in train, accomplishing
in six hours distance that took them
twenty-one days to walk. On the same
day the Assistant Secretary to the Re-
lief Fund wrote to the parish priest, en-
closing a Post-of1ice order for two
pounds sterling, payable to the father
of the boys.

CARLYLE says that one cannot move

The ancient silver penny was the
first silver coin struck in England
and the only one current among the
Anglo-Saxons. The penny, until the
reign of Edward L., was struck with a
cross so deeply indented that it might
be easily parted into two for half
pence, and into four for farthingS'
and hence these names. Copper pen,
MES and two-penny pieces were coined
in 1897.

 GEORGETOWN, Col, June 20 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Thinking that perhaps the readers of the COURIER would like to hear from native of New Haven who is spending the summer in the Rocky Mountains, will attempt to in- terest them. Georgetown, old mining camp-with ], 1000 inhabitants-in fact one of the first in the State, is situated in pleasant valley of the noted Clear Creek canyon, and at distance of fifty miles west from Denver It has an altitude of S,4O0 feet, or about a mile and half higher than New Haven The town IS surrounded by mountains, whose tops are twenty-five hundred feet higher, and in many cases covered with snow the year round. Next month the mountain sides will be covered with beautifully variegated flowers of the most delightful perfume.
 The climate is very agreeable to almost every one, although some have difficulty in breathing when they first come here on ac- count of the air being so rarefed. This Is particularly noticeable when one attempts to run or climb a mountain, but in short time one will get acclimated and think nothing of 1t. This climate is especially good for con- sumptives who, if they come at an early stage of the disease, will be cured, provided, however, they stay here. It is mistake of Eastern people in thinking a person with consumption can come here and be cured and then live East again. In short time the disease will come on again, worse than be- fore in most cases.
 As a general thing the people here are stout and rugged, large portion of them being miners, who have formerly lived East, and are very socially inclined This is of the best silver regions in the country, thousands of dollars being extracted annual ly in silver, gold and copper The patient little "burros," or Jacks as they are gene rally called, are great convenience in this country, being able to travel where man would hesitate, and carry one hundred and fifty pounds of baggage, which is strapped on their backs. They are constantly passing to and fro, loaded with every conceivable IT, ticle-kegs of lager, stoves, and even 1- road iron to be packed up the mountains for use in tunnel tramways
 Great excitement prevailed here during the Chicago convention, the telegraph office be- ing thronged day and night, and when Gar field was nominated considerable powder was burned. This whole State will probably go Republican very strong. Grant is thought but very little of here, there being some prejudice about the silver bill
 To people coming here, I would recom- mend that they purchase tickets of the genial Alderman States, and on their arrival com mend themselves to the tender mercy of MT. Star Hotel, which is a great resort for min CTS who come in from the neighboring camps.
 Leadville, the eighth wonder, is sixty miles from here, and, the miners having gone to work, everything is quiet again. A daily line of six-horse coaches is run from here, and grand sight it is to see them f'come in, '' the horses on dead run. ''ADoIPHUs."

 For several years was afflicted with a form of catarrh and to such extent that my hearing be- came impaired and constantly troubled with roaring sounds in my head It also gave rise to troublesome cough bronchial irritation, and pain in my lungs. In fact, my condition such that felt convinced, unless something done for my relief, would soon be beyond cure. One physician thought that eventually would be stone deaf another gave his opinion that catarrh could not be cured and that had to endure best could it's pernieious consequences Finding the treatment pursued of no benefit, placed myself under the professional care of Dr. Lighthill, of No West 29th street. whose Inducements for skill and from we'll known residents of New York city had been brought under my notice. The result of his treatment has been most beneficial My hearing is perfect, the noises in the head have ceased the pain in my chest has disappeared, the bronchial trouble is gone,
 feel that substantially relieved ofwhat threat ened to be most serious if not fatal, disease. I, therefore, cheerfully commend Dr. Lighthil for his ability and skill and feel confident that any similarly afflicted will be benefited by placing themselves un- der his care. His treatment gives neither pain distress, and readily be borne by the most ner- vous person. WILLIAM F. BARNARD.

The Chinese question has received fresh attention from the federal courts in 8 decis- ion rendered by the Circuit Court in Califor- mia upholding the validity of a State law requir- ing heavy fee before dead bodies can be ex- humed for exportation The law, which is based upon sanitary reasons, is leveled at the Chinese practice of transporting the bodies of their dead to China; but the federal court very properly rules that in it's health laws the State is supreme, as such legislation is part of the police power, control over which re- sides exclusively in the State.
