AFrFR all. unhappy Ireland ma


AFTER all, unhappy Ireland may
indulge little hope, for Mr., Glad
stones land bill is apt to become a
law of the realm. 1t has met with
opposition from only one member
of the ministry-the Duke of Argyll
and he has resigned because he
could not endorse the measure. The
Duke, in opinion and sentiment, be-
longs to the old and dead regime of
English politics. He believes
that his broad lands give him
superiority over others just in
the proportion that the num-
Der of his acres exceeds that OF
others. He could not endure the
sight of the peasant acquiring title
to any part of that domain which
has been held by generations of Ar
gylls. The London Times heartily
approves the measure as meeting
every requirement. of the case, and
leaving "no inch of ground un-
touched" The Irish leaders do not
by any means, regard the bill as
panacea for all the i'll ireland suf-
fers. Mr.. Parnell holds that there
are numerous defects and "pit fallsD
in the measure, but he hopes that
the Irish members may. be able to 50
improve it, by amendments, in its
passage through the House, so as to
make it work with as much advan,
tage as possible TO the tenants. He
warned the land league against any
relaxation of effort, saying the bat
tie had not been won, but, on the
contrary, was just begun. The tao
tics OF the land leaguers are evident
ly to get all the advantages possible
from this act, but not to abandon
the policy of agitation for further
CONCESSIONS. tas1 rs... idust

A RELIC OF SLAVERY DAYs.-Wab-
ash special to the Cincinnati Enquir-
er: 1t has just been discovered
that one of the stations on the un-
derground railroad was located two
miles south Of this city. The build
ing stands on a hill overlooking the
I.afontaine and Wabash Turnpike.
and is a plain brick structure. 1t
was built by a man named Elias
Thomas, in the year 1856, and by
him was used as an residence. No
one knew Of this being place of
refuge for slaves until recently a
new family moved in, and an exam
ination revealed the vault for secret
ing passengers" Ell route for Can
ada. The foundation of the house
is sunken deep into the ground,
forming a sort Of basement. The
cellar is divided into two compart-
ments by stone wall. One side
is entered by door. and the 9th
er apparently is without an aper-
ture. A trap-door in the floor
above, however, which was always
covered by a carpet, gave easy
means Of access, and many colored
men were let down into the depths
of the mysterious cellar while or
their way from South to Canada.
1t is said that another station on
the line is situated near La Gro.
this county.

softly, punctuating her sentences with
soft, warm kisses. "Already 1 have

strong limbed, hazel-eyed young man to

RESCUED FROM DEATH.

The following statement of William ]. Cough
lin, OF Somerville, Mass, is so remarkable that
we beg to ask for II the attention of our readers.
He says: "In the fall of 1873 was taken with
violent bleeding of the lungs followed by a
severe cough. 1 soon began to lose my appetite
and flesh. L was 80 weak at one time that
could not leave my bed. In the summer of 1877
| was admitted to the City Hospital. While
there the doctors said had hole in my left
lung as big as a half dollar l expended over a
hundred dollars in doctors and medicines. was
so far gone at one time report went around
that was dead, | gave up hope, but a friend
told me of DIR. WIN. HALLS BALSOM FOR
THE LUNGS. laughed at my friend, thinking
that my case was incurable, but got a bottle
to satisfy them, when to my surprise and graft
fication commenced to feel better. My hope,
once dead, began to revive, and to-day feel in
better spirits than have the past three years.
II write this hoping you will publish it, so
that every one afflicted with Diseased Lungs
will be induced to take DIR. WIN. HALLS BAL
som FOR THE LUNGS, and be convinced that
CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED. 1 have ta-
ken two bottles, and can positively say that it
has done more good than all the other medicines
have taken since my sickness, My cough has
almost entirely disappeared. and l shall soon be
able to go to work" Sold by druggists.

THE JUMPING OFF PLACE.
STATEs-HOw 1T Is MARKED AND
WHERE IT RUNS.

The northern boundary of this country
is marked by some cairns, iron pillars,
wood pillars, earth mounds and timber
posts. A stone cairn is seven and hal'
by eighth feet, an earth mound seven b,
fourteen feet, al iron pillar eight feet
high, eight inches square at the bottom
and four inches at the top; timber posts
FIVE feet high and eight inches square.
There are three hundred and eighty two
of these marks between the Lake of the
Woods and the base of the Rocky Noun
tains. That portion of the boundary
which lies east and west of the Red River
Valley is marked by cast-iron pillars at
even mile intervals. The British placed
one every two miles and the United
States one between each two British
posts. Our pillars or markers were made
at Detroit, Michigan. They are hollow
iron castings, three -eights of an inch in
thickness, in the form of truncated
pyramid, eight feet high, eight inches
square at the bottom and four inches at
the top, as before stated.
They have at the top q solid pyramidal
cap, and at the bottom On octagonal
fange one inch in thickness. Upon the
opposite faces are cast in letters two
inches high the inscriptions, "Conven-
tion of London" and "Oct. 90, 1881. 3"
The inscriptions begin about four feet
six inches above the base, and read up
ward. The interior of the hollow posts
are filled with seasoned cedar posts saw
ed to fit, and securely spiked through
spike-holes cast in the pillar for that pur-
pose. The average weight of each pillar
when completed is eighty-five pounds.
The pillars are set four feet in the
ground, with their inscription faces to
the north and south, and the earth is well
settled and stamped about them. For
the wooden posts, well-seasoned logs are
selected, and the portion above the groud
painted red, to prevent swelling and
shrinking. These posts do very well,
but the Indians cut them down for fuel,
and nothing but iron will last very long.
Where the line crosses lakes, monuments
OF stone have been built, the bases being
in some places eighteen feet under water
and the tops projecting eight feet above
the lakes surface at high water mark.
In forests the line is marked by telling
the timber rod wide and clearing away
the underbrush. The work of cutting
through the timbered swamps was very
great, but it has been we'll done and the
boundary distinctly marked by the COM
missioners the whole distance from
Michigan to Alaska.

Brooklyn Eagle: "How long is it since
I've been out of this measly old bar

painfully in his bed, and gazing in q

OF antidotes on the mantel.
"About two weeks, dear" said Mrs.

1.-The doctor says you are not likely to
have another attack if you keep very
quiet and follow his instructions"
"Oh, he does, does he2" said Mr..
Spoopendyke, making a vain effort to sit
up, and falling back with groan. "He
says l won't have another attack. What
do you suppose that dod gasted bald pa

where, except on the breast, which
is bright blue. His beak and legs
are scarlet, and on his head the
upper mandible is extended in a
fiat, broad shield over the skull.
Pukaki shooting is very good sport,
and, though when they get up with
their two long legs hanging down
they look as big as q hamper, and
appear to fly quite slowly, they are
somewhat hard to bag, and can
carry away deal ofshot with them.
They are very good eating, some
what resembling leveret, and we

into pie, always discarding the
legs. The limbs serve no CASTRO
nomic purpose; they are the tough
est things in creation, and appear
to be composed of bass-viol strings
and piano wire wrapped up in cow
hide. They are very useful, how
ever, for keeping a hungry dog
quiet; one will last him the whole
night. and he will be found in the
morning vacantly staring at the

Its publication passed from their hands

GOOD ADVICE FROM A LEADING
MEDICAL PROFESSOR.

The learned doctor says; keep some
kind of tonic medicine always in the
house, and if anyone feels unwell, make
free use of it. But frat be sure that it
is both harmless as we'll as meritorious.
Put no trust in alcoholic preparations;
their use Will lead to intemperance;
neither be partial to any remedy that
produces q severe cathartic effect, for
prostration Of the nervous system and
digestive organs is sure to follow. The
mildeet and best medicine ever invented
for strengthing every part of the body
and restoring impaired or lost organic
functions to their normal condition, and
one which is having an unparalleled and
rapidly increasing sale in the Eastern
States, is Crowns Iron Bitters. Any
druggist will procure it for you if you re-
quest him to do 80, especially when he
finds you cannot be persuaded to take
some substitute. It does not contain alco-
hol, and is the only preparation of Iron
that cures headache and does not biacken
the teeth. It is a sure reviver, true
strengthen.r, and the very best medicine
ever invented for permanently strength
ening the pulmonary, urinary and diges-
tive organs, and preventing consumption,
kidney diseases and chronic dyspepsia,
often curing these diseases when oil 9TH

face of the globe. By careful observance
of the plain and simple laws of health; by a
watchful care over daily habits and duties,
and by regulation of the life with the rem
edy above named, which has become so
prominent and valuable, there is no reason
why all the desirable things we have men
toned may not be secured in their highest
