I have been very sick over two
years. They all gave me up as past
cure. I tried the most skillful
physicians, but they did not reach
the worst part. The lungs and heart
would fill up every night and dis
tress me, and my throat was very
bad. L told my children L never
should die in peace until [ had tried
Hop Bitters. 1 have taken two bot
ties. They have helped me very
much indeed. | am how well. There
was a lot of sick folks here who
have seen how they helped nae, and
they used them and are cured, and
feel as thankful as [ do that there is
so valuable a medicine made.

"Marietta" built at Marietta, Ohio, sixteen
hundred miles from salt water. We first took
il load of potatoes passed down to Mem
phis, dropped down to New Orleans, finished
up her cargo and steered for the Emerald
Isle to feed the people starving there on &C
count of the potato rot. Arrived and discharg
ed our cargo at Belfast and retained to New
York.
Having nothing else on hand put up for
Chagres was one of one hundred and six
passengers on board, all told We sailed down
the coast and in crossing the Gulf the scene
was rare and at times magnificent We were
toned, Illinois canal boat until in the Carib-
bean sea between Turks Island and Jamaica,
where the passengers began to pop out their
noses like so many rats, being water.logged.
The Caribbean sea is lovely For thousand
miles or more after leaving the Gulf stream II
plays on Central America and the open sea-
Lovely winds make a current this way and
that, and by jlbbing one can make pleasant
headway.
Between Turks Island and Jamaicn our cap.
tain with his glass discovered a Spanish priva.
teer, or, in plain English, pirate bearing down
on US. He ordered all on deck armed and equip
ped. We had rifles, pistols, cutasses and two
cannon. One hundred and six of us lay be-
hind the bulwarks and when she came near
enough the captain ordered us to give her a
blast. When the smoke cleared away, the
Spaniard was making fast sail in different
direction, and we went on our way rejoicing.
We were twenty-five days from New York
to Chagrcs, and came to anchor some three
miles out in the morning. In the afternoon,
when things were in readiness the captain had
one OF his big yawls lowered, and the passen-
gers, when ranged IN companies of from one
up to fifteen were asked what company was
ready for Chagres. None replied. They would
rather stop until the following day. When no
one stepped up to the captain. SAID ] was
ready After lowering my baggage, he asked
to see my passport. | told him it was in ny
trunk. He SAID he must STE it. opened my
trunk and took out my passport; it was a
Ratchet with two edges. | had paid dollar
and hall for it, and all the rest had paid the
Spanish consul IN New York two fifty for
others which were of no use. Mine | found

pinwall, ten miles above Chagres. Nothing
was there bat cocoa nut trees, monkeys and
such things as live in a tropical climate. A
full description of the Chagres river and
Panama have in my eyesight, and will give
it to you IN another letter, if you want it.

MARK Twain,s Books.

Gath.l
Mark Twain said in a few words l
had with him, hal he had made out
OF his books about $685. 600 clear; and
out of his last book, "A Tramp
Abroad" S40,0 and out Of his lee
lures and plays, in addition to his
books, enough to bring the whole ag-
gregate up to $250,000. lie said that
the sum ought to have been over $780,
600, and that he had just now discov-
cred that he had printed his books on
a false basis-that he ought to have
published the books himself and paid
his publishers a percentage for selling
them instead Of letting them pay him
a percentage for writing them. He
said he had written a novel and was
preparing the plates himself, and
meant to put it out by hiring the pub
fishers instead of being hired, and
that all writer's ought to take that po-
sition-that the book publisher was
the hireling and not the author, and
thus many of our young men who have
written well and hard, would have
been 10 Independent circumstances
long ago. He said the American
copyright laws were of very little good
to authors.
