A ue Cure

Is 4 purely vegetable bitter and power
fhl tonic, and is warranted a speedy and
certain cure for Fever and Ague, Chills
and Fever, Intermittent or Chill Fe-
Periodical or Bilious Fever, and all
malarial disorders. In miasmatic dis
tricts, the rapid pulse, coated tongue, thirst,
lassitude, loss of appetite, pain in the back
and loins, and GOODNESS OF the spine and
e~xtremities, are only premonitions of
severer symptoms, which terminate in the
ague paroxysm, succeeded by high fever
and profuse perspiration.
It is a startling fact, that q~uinine, arse
mic and other poisonous minerals, form the
basis of most of the "Fever and Ague
Preparations" "Specifics,' "Syrups," and
"Tonics," in tho market. The prepara-
tons made from these mineral poisons,
although they are palatable, and may
break the chill, do not cure, but leave the
malarial and their own drug poison in
the system, producing uuinism, dizziness,
ringing in the ears, headache, vertigo, and
other disorders more formidable than tho
disease they were intended to cure.
AYERS AGUE CURE thoroughly eradicates
these noXious noisons from the system,
and always cures the severest cases. It
contains no q%uinine, mineral, or any thing
that could injure the most delicate pa
tent; and its browning excellence, above
its certainty to cure, is that it leaves the
system as free from disease as before the
attack.
For Liver Complaints, AYERS AcuE
CURE, by direct action on the liver and
hillary apparatus, drives out the poisons
which produce these complaints, and stim-
ulates the system to a vigorous, healthy
condition.
We warrant it when taken according to
directions.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
Two Girls Being Tried Fer
Murder,

Little Rock, 4.-Ths most extraordin-
DRY murder case ever tried in this state
ia now in progress st Arksdelphis. The
defendants are Miss Sarah Stokes and
Mrs. Eliza beth Shelton, who are charged
with the murder of Miss Malinds Stevens,
The tragedy occurred near Mineral
Springs, in Howard County, one day last
April. Stokes and stevens are promi-
nent people living on adjoining farms.
Sarsh Stokes is yourg and exceedingly
handsome girl Of seventeen. She has o
violent temper, and is quick to resent real
or fancied insults and cherishes
implacible hatred towards her enc
mics. Some time ago sister of Miss
Stevens made very derogatory remarks
concerning Miss Stokes. This coming to
the sars Of the latter, she sWore revenge
In q terrible manner. It is said that the
girls were rivals. Each wished to be
considered the belle of the neigh borhood.
Miss Stokes mounted hor.e and sc-
companied by her sister. Mrs. Shelton,
set out to find Miss Stevens, when they
heard she was doing soma shopping in
the neighborhood town. The two women
rescbed the place after short and rapid
ride, but Miss Stevens had been warned
that they were searching for her and adj
vised to keep out Of their way, and had
acted on the suggestion. After visiting
ell the stores in the village, and not find
ing Miss Stevens, the women started to
return home. Presently the twain came
by the dwelling Of the Stevens, where it
stood near the roadside. The neither of
Miss Stevens was standing in the yard
and Miss Stokes addressed few passion
ate words to her. The con-
versstien brought out Miss Matilda
Stevens, Il years old, sister
of Miss Stevens. The girls soon became
involved in bitter dispute. Miss Stokes
denied statements made by the elder Miss
Stevens as falsehoods, and the girl warmly
defended her absent sister. At last the
taunts Of Miss Stokes stung Miss Stevens
to the quick, and she started impulsively
forward. As she approached the open
gate Miss Stokes sprsng from her horse
and plunged long, keen bladed knife,
which she had concealed in the bosom OF
her dress, into the neck of the advancing
girl. Hiss Stevens sank on the ground,
the blood gushing from the wound in tor
rents. She died in few minutes. The
inquest disclosed rock lying in one of
her hands Miss Stokes and Mrs. Shell
ton were promptly arrested and have
been out on bail, pending the trial. The
verdict Of the jury is awaited with keen
interest. The tragedy is said to have
ruined the Stokes and Stevens families,
members Of which are overwhelmed with
grief.

recolect that it is not so very long since

pent, wherewith he feeds himself as an

wood monsters from the East Indies,
male and female, being the admirablest
creatures that ever was seen in the king

East Indies, which, by great deal of
pains, is now brought to that perfection
that no creature of his kind ever per-
formed the like; he exercises by the

Cheshire Rounds; he also dances with
two naked swords, and performs several
other pretty fancies. Likewise noble

for its beauty and that Incompatible
scent which perfumes the whole place.
Also mutosh from Rusty, being very
wonderfully marked. Also helliscope

also a wonderful animal, the "man

England, it being of seven several colors,
from the head downwards resembling a
man, its fore parts clean and his hinder
parts all hairy; having long head Of

takes a glass of ale in his hand like a

The Electric Light at Sea.

The buoy recently anchored in thir-
teen fathoms of water about three
cables length south of the Sandy Hook
is the implement of an inter-
esting experiment. Rear Admiral
Nichols describes it as can automatic
buoy having a 10-inch whistle and glass
globe for an electric light on the top"
If the use of the electric light on buoys
located in such important places is found
practicable, a great contribution to the
safety of vessels will thus be effected.
Had an electric light shone from the
top of the buoy near the Rockaway
Shoals the Italian bark Ajace would not
have been destroyed. The Eyenino
Mail has long believed that the electric
light is to be introduced to many uses
upon the water. 1t is to have a place
in lighthouses, and it will be adopted
on shipboard, if not for a permanent
headlight, at least for signals in times of
distress and danger. 1t has been argued
that the electric light can not be used
for a headlight unless it can be trained
to pencil. But. it can be thus
trained, as a multitude know who wit.

Hail.


From a study of phenomena of thun.
der-storms in the Gironde (France) M.
Lespiault comes to the conclusion that,
ceterts pGribsts, valleys are more struck
by hail than hills or tableland. 1t seems
that certain depth below the clouds is
necessary for the formation or the fall
of hail to occur without obstacle. Fur
Their, the directions of the valleys tray-
ersed have a marked influence on the
direction of the clouds, though they only
cause a momentary DETECTION, and the
clouds, after following them certain
time, are carried on in the general d.
rection of the vertical movement. For
example, if a valley be in the axis of the
zone of hail, or little inclined to that
axis, the hail clouds seem to be carried
along that valley, as dead leaves are car
ried along by the wind in trench. II
the valley be subdivided by mountain
spur into two others, the hail cloud also
divides and the two secondary valleys
are ravaged in their turn, at least to the
extent in which they are within the
zone hail. Valleys lying across this
zone have also an influence, though less
marked: When the clouds come 10 pass
over them they show tendency to de,
scend and to spread out on the two
sides of the zone, so that the zone i,
broader over valleys than over plateaus
and the ravages are often greater.
