ten years, failed, involving him to the amount

Probably the happiest man in Augusta this
morning is ]. J. Maher. As we announced
in the Journal in May, Mr.. Maher left the
sewing machine business and went to
putting up two wonderful remedies known
As the Household Blood Purifier and
Cough Syrup and the "Relief Liniment."
II began to dawn on parties outside the State
that Maher & Co. had got hold of a ''big
thing" They received several offers ranging
from IS, 200 upwards, but refused to sell. On
Saturday there came clicking over the wire
this message:
BosroN. July %.
j. MAuER & GOWN pay you $4,000 FIR one
hair interest in your remedies
(Signed) y.
This was the offer they had been waiting for,
and a member of the firm took the first train
for 1.-THE Hub to conclude the bargain.
Maher & Co. will continue to manufacture
the medicines. and will control the Maine
field The remedies are to be pushed and
advertised all over the country, and man
kind is to be restored everywhere. Maher y
Co will undoubtedly reap a rich harvest OF
golden ducats in the future from their Blood
Purifier and ''Relief Liniment."

The Dexter Gazette says: We learn that
on the Sth inst. the body of Alvin Watson,
of Parkman, was taken up and an examination
made by surgeons Thompson and Buck, Of
Dover. and Davis of Abbott. 1t is their
opinion that in the wounds in Watsons body.
three different knives were used, and that in
the wounds made in the back, near the hips,
knife was used that went through the body.
One of the knives had the point broken off,
and was used after that. The lower limbs
of Watson were evidently paralyzed, and he
fought on his knees. as the skin was worn
from them. We understand that the old man
Chadburn. has, since the murder, told Justice
Pratt of Guilford. that in his opinion, the
boy did not do the deed alone, but that two
others helped him.

Is II CAPTAIN K1OD's SHIP ?

The employees of the wreckiug company
who have been at work for five or six weeks
at Round island, three miles above Peeks-
kill, in the highlands of the Hudson,
searching for the Venture Galley, the ves-
sci which Captain Kidd commanded dur
ing one of his piratical cruises, have made
discovery. Mr.. D. D. Chaplin OF Phil
ipsburg n j., who owns the island, has
tradition, handed down from what he
considers a reliable source, that the vessel
while sailing up the Hudson one dark
night TO escape two pursuing British men
Of war, ran on to the point of rocks which
mark the eastern shore of the island. The
position of the island is such as to suggest
an occurrence of that nature. The COM
pany which is working on the island be-
came satisfied that Mr.. Chapin's tradition
had some basis. They accordingly sent a
wrecking vessel with all the improved ma
chinery necessary, and a powerful dredge
and force-pump of enormous capacity
The work is in charge of Superintendent
&c. I. Pike and Engineer Charles P.
Tasker. They began dredging 50 teet
from the shore, and scooped out
a hole 100 feet long and 40 feet deep
Here they found the bow of vessel, whose
timbers were nearly all rotted away. 1t lay
apparently at an angle of 40 degrees. BY
removing about 40 feet more OF mud, and
going down 20 feet further, they reached
nearly the center OF the wreck. Pieces of
spars, ship timbers and pieces of hve-oak
plank have all been brought to the surface
by the dredger. The company have two
divers on the spot, and they report the
wreck of vessel at least 100 feet long lies
buried in the mud at stage of from 40
to 60 feet under the water. Yesterday
the dredge became fastened in something,
and in trying to raise it the chain was
broken. A diver was let down 55 feet, and
remained under the water an hour and
baf. When he came up he reported that
the dredge had become fastened in what
appeared to him to be a large gun, the
point of which was fast in the stiff mud.
In proof of what he said he brought up iron
scales, which he prodded off with his
sounding iron. Messrs. Chaplin and Pike
are quite sure they have really struck
Kidds vessel, the gun seeming to them
proof sufficient. Mr.. Tasker, the engineer,
says the mud is all deposit, and he
thinks the amount found would readily
accumulate Ill the time which has elapsed
since Kidd was captured. Mud to the
amount of 5000 cubic yards has been
removed.

4 DUMB CONCERT old cafe.eon-
cert, since demolished for the enlargement
of the Boulevard Saint German, Paris, was
very popular with the students of the
Latin quarter. Bat at one period the
students quarreled with the proprietor,
and the latter refusing to make amends or
apologize, became an object OF bitter war
fare. The students declared that they
would not allow single artistic to sing
until the proprietor yielded to their de.
mands For three whole months it was
impossible to hear a single note sung on
the stage, because OF the uproar, cat calls
and racket of the students. Nevertheless
the hall was always crowded and the pro-
prietor had no cause to complain. One
night the students planned to omit the
usual hubbub until the middle of the per-
Torrance. The artistes were stupefed and
the proprietor was at his wits ends. The
first singer advanced to the footlights, re-
manned with mouth wide open, unable to
utter sound. The second followed with
the same result. The third ditto. The
proprietor had, it appears, discharged all
his singers early in the row, and in their
places he had hired lot Of men and
women who couldn't sing a note and whom
he was able to secure each evening for a
few glasses of beer. Paris Paper.
