A True Cnnse for Regret.

1t makes the heart of every philanthro-
pist sad TO see so many worthless patent
medicines pulled and advertised for the
cure of chronic diseases Usually the rene
dy is some vile cathartic compound or alco-
holic preparation, combined with buchu,
turpcntne or other severe diuretic that
affords the invalid only temporary relicf, but
which has no lasting effect, and in truth
eventually brings on Il complication Of dis
eases arising from n state of worn-out and
exhausted digestive and urinary organs that
nothing but death can relieve, lnvalids
should trust more to nature for their rccov-
cry A gentle medicinal tonic that stimu-
latcs cnfeeblcd digestion and strengthens
every part of the system by its soothing
and refreshing effect on both mind and
body, is natures truest and best assistant.
Such remedy is Browns Iron Bitters, q
medicine surprising the sale of all other
remedies whenever its merits become
known, for ii acts in such perfect harmony
with the laws of life and health, that all
pulmonary, urinary and digestive troubles
are prevented and permanently cured by
its timely use. 1t contains no alcohol, and

Now Orleans and Its Now Railroad Con-
nections

| nsCtlOns,
The completion OF the New Orleans Pa
cifc Railroad, giving a line from Shreveport
to New Orleans, announced this week, is
an event of more than ordinary Significance
to New Orleans and the State of Louisiana
For many years the people there have
looked forward to the day when rail COM
munication would be established between
the northern and southern ends Of their
| territory. But though the initial steps in
| the enterprise were taken as early as 1874,
| it was not until the road passed into the
hands of the Texas & Pacific people in 1880,
that the success of the undertaking be-
came assured. The rond passes through a
rich timber district west Of Red River, for
the first part Of the distance from Shreve-
port south, and then on to New Orleans
| through very fertile sections devoted to cot
| ton, sugar and rice. The road is certain OF
| a large local traffic at the outset and will
give an impetus to the development OF large
areas i'm Louisiana which up to the present
| time have been almost entirely neglected
and overlooked. In this way, also, the
road will add to the trade Of New Orleans.
But aside from this, its chief
| significance lies in its furnishing

determined to overthrow the revolutionary
government of General Pierola, and that OF
this fact, 81 officially informed the repre-

temptation which scduced him from his
loyalty to his old Chief. These were the
position of the Vice. President in the Cal
deron Government, Chief Commander of
the Peruvian forces, on land and sea, as he
is both a soldier and sailor, complete inn
munity for all charges hanging over him,
and a considerable number of other con-
.iderations of no little Importance. Pierola
is naturally indignant at these assertions
aud uttcrs sweeping anathemas against the
traitors IN Il proclamation in
which he briefly condemns the officers
and troops who have reVolted in different
parts of the country and who have de-
clared in favor of the Calderon government,
which he declares to have collapsed, in
spite of all its efforts to fan the civil strife
into blaze. The proclamation concludes
by informing the rebels that he could fight
against and eItcrminatc them, but that he
will not desert his position in front of
the enemy and will therefore await
the return to their allegiance to him

A Lizard Under a Mans Skin.

A gentleman from New London,
Rails County, Mo-, tells the following
story, which he vouches for: He says
that there is colored man in New Lon
don, who for years has claimed that he
had scorpion under his skin, and that
it crawled from place to place over his
body. A few days since Doctors
Sprague and Rails, of London, couple
OF scientists. coaxed the darkey to sub
NIT to a surgical operation for the re-
the removal of the varmint. They dis
tinctly traced the animal under the
darkey's skin from his waist over the
left shoulder, and thence back again to
position between the thighs and knee
of the right leg. Clasping the limb
above and below where the animal
seemed to be, they administered chloro-
form to the man. and making an incl
sion in the leg, took therefrom living
reptile-not scorpion, but something
resembling lizard. It was placed in
a vial of alcohol, and the doctors have
had several offers for its purchase. The

jured him when he was boy, and that
he has been tormented with this animal

Vesuvius as an Oil Well,

IL has been reserved for an Italian
citizen OF Harrisburgh, now perfectly
Americanized, and therefore imbued
with the Yankee genius, to conceive the
loea or boring at the side of Vesuvius
to ascertain the source of its volcanic
nres and utilize the tremendous power
which has for ages produced this amaz-
ing eruption by fire, smoke and great
streams of lava Angelo Posi- Ponti is
the name OF the gentleman who has de-
voted long time to this subject, and
VINO has now come to the conclusion,
after study of the peculiar phases of
the petroleum region of Pennsylvania,
that the causes of the volcanic forces in
Vesuvius are the same as those which
produce the gases in the oil region,
only that those of the volcano are the
greater and more powerful in their
character His idea is to have O shaft
on the land side of the mountain, or a
number of them, and by that means
reach the bed or beds of Oil which. he
argues, flow into great basin immedi-
ately under the crater of the volcano,
and thus. by currents of electricity, are
made to burn and overflow in great
floods of lava. By means of the shafts
in question Angelo Posi- Ponti hopes to
attract the oil from the source of its
flames, thereby preventing eruptions
and utilizing for mechanical purposes
the vast accumulation of oil which has
for ages been consumed in the crater.
This is a tremendous project, in the
pursuit of which the inventive Italian
believes the source of earthquakes will
be reached and controlled. whereby the
human race will be shielded from an
engine of destruction that has produced
such enormous amounts of loss to man
kind. This gives the affair philan-
thropic phase highly creditable to the
humane feelings of the generous Ital-
ian. Arrangements for a stock COM
pany have been made to take out a
charter. with capital stock of $780,
600. Mr.. Angelo Posi- Ponti has been
in consultation for some time with a
number of eminent biologists and civil
engineers in this city, who, while not
being able fully to grasp the tremen-
dous subject, still give its protector
much encouragement. 1t is as possible
as the Panama Canal, for which $780,
600, 900 has been subscribed, or the ex-
cavations at Pompeii and the search for
the wonders of Troy, the discoveries of
which have astounded the archeolo-
gists of the world. Harrisburg '(Pa. J

TattOoing in the French Army.

DIR. Lacassagne, a French physician,
has published book on the habit of
tattooing as practised in the French
army. There are professional tattooers
in Paris and Lyons who charge half a
franc for each design. Generally the
tattooer has cartoons on paper and re-
produced these on the skin by a me-
chanical process. Large designs cost a
good deal; a big representation of an
Indian holding up the flag of the United
States cost the decorated person fifteen
francs. China ink is the eoloring sub
stances preferred, touched up with YER
million. DIR. Lacassagne has collected
1883 designs, tattooed on 378 members
of the Second African Battalion, or on
men under arrest in military prisons.
Many were tattooed on every part of
the body, except the inner side of the
thighs. Patriotic and religious designs
and inscriptions amounted to ninety -One.
There were 280 ''amorouS and erotic
devices" and 344 works of pure fantasy,
such as ladies driving in carriage, the
horses plunging. and servants rushing
to their heads. The great efforts of art
are reserved for the surfaces of the
UT0dSI duu UdCk. 1Hc SuUJcCtS VI many
of the drawings are best left undescribed,
the Imagination of dissipated soldier
being quite savage in its impurity.
Among patriotic and religious en-
blems are cited two devils, nine theo-
logical virtues, six crucifxes, two sisters
of charity, three heads of Prussians, not
fiattered, and five portraits of ideal girls
of Alsace, with no fewer than thirty-tour
bust of the republic. Among animals,
the lion and the serpent are the favorite
totems. Among flowers, the pansy is
generally preferred. The aesthetic
classes will grieve to hear that not
single lily appears, and there was only
one daisy. Among NEUROLOGICAL sub
jects the sirens are the greatest favor

Wilmington probably has the larg-
est sturgeon fishing firm in the country.
1t EMPLOYS some thirty or forty nets, all
told, on the Delaware, ten of which are
fished by the month. A schooner is
kept busy in the ice trade, and steam
er accompanies the boats. While the
men are fishing the steamer moves
from boat to boat, taking on the sturg-
con as fast as caught, dressing them on
the boat and taking the caviare from
them. Speaking of caviare, it should
be stated that tits the spawn of the fish,
and is favorite sauce, particularly
with the Germans. 1t consists simply
OF the eggs, properly cured, and cpl
cures regard it very highly. Many
hundred kegs are shipped to Germany
each year. The firm, after much
trouble, is able to put up the caviare
very nicely, with patent preparation.
