THE CAUSE DiscovERED.-Most Of the readers
whose eyes scan these pages have suffered from
headache, lassitude, nausea or pains iu the back
but we doubt II they knew what the cause was.
In nine cases out Of ten it was some trouble with
the kidneys or liver. This is a truth which has
Just become known, and the result which War
ners Safe Kidney and Liver Cure has accom-
plshed. The above named troubles are caused
by dsordered kidneys and liver. and the remedy
which cures the cause banishes the pains which
arise from it.

JOIN CHINAMAN IN CmCAGo.-Quite
a large number of Cinnamon, drifting
eastward from San Francisco, have
made lodgment at Chicago, to the
great indignation Of the other foreign
workiugmen in that city. Already they
have been holding meetings to protest
against any encouragement being given
by employers there to Chinese labor
Some of the boot and shoe manufactur-
ers who, following the example OF the
trade in Massachusetts, were disposed
to give the Cinnamon trial, have been
warned to desist, and at a meeting of
the operatives, TO decide upon some
plan Of action, one of the speakers said:
"They must take a firm stand, pro
test vigorously, and give the authorities
ofChicago to understand that the Chi
ncse could not fnd habitation IN this
city; and that if they persisted in en-
couraging them to locate here the work
ingmen would not wait six months Or
a year to erect a galIows on the sand
lots of Chicago, but would do it the
very first day"

MURDER OF CHILD IN VIRGINIA
Summary Lynehiny FotoDs.-A cor
respondent of the Washington Post
from New Market, Va, furnishes fur
ther particulars Of the murder ola four
year old boy of Mr.. Jacob Hillyard,
near Bunker Hill, Page county, Va, by
a colored man, and the subsequent pur-
suit, capture and hanging of the muir
derer by infuriated citizens. l. seems
that last Thursday morning the cOlored
man, who was in Mr.. Hillyard' S employ,
left for the purpose OF cutting some
wood in the forest, accompanied by the
child,wh was very fond of him. Not
returning at nightfall, Mr.. Hillyard be
came alarmed about his child and q
party of citizens started in search,
which was kept up all night. About
dawn the dead body of the child was
found three miles from home, near the
Shenandoah river, with the head
mashed by stone, which was found
near by. The negro's tracts were fol
lowed and he was soon discovered
making for the river, into which he
plungcd aud attempted to swim across,
but the current was too strong. y
volley of pistol shots greeted this at
tempt and he would probably have
been hit had he not turued aud made
for The shore. Here lie was seized and
dragged ashore. y rope was procured,
seeing which the wretch confessed to
having also killed his own brother a
short time before. The rope was
quickly thrown around his neck aud
over the limb of a tree, and he was
hosted into the air. 1t took some
twenty-five minutes before the move
ments ceased, when, with few parting
shots, the avengers left tho scene Of the
execution.

parts of number OF letters received by
him from Catholic priests in counties

hundreds Of families have pawned or

own, as the frequent saying is, except
''the daylight, the water, and a house
full OF hungry children" The present
distress is ascribed 10 foar causes: Wet
