An Acquisition.

Since its virtues have been utilized
by Dr. Tabler as a permanent cure for
Piles, the Buckeye, now so abundant in
our native forests, has become of almost
as much Importance in the medical
world as Cinchona, or Peruvian bark,
of South America. Fortunately the
medical properties are in the fruit, and
not the bark; hence the trees will not
be destroyed, but will stand many
years to yield an abundant supply,
and we may regard Tabler's Buckeye
Pile Ointment as a permanent remedy.

vigorous foreign policy and a sound,

Sarah Bernhardt Goes Into Hysteries-
 Manager Abbey Out $3,OOO.
 MOBILE, Feb. 16.-Sarah Bernhardt and company created quite sensation here last night. Sarah Bernhardt while playing Camille, went into mysteries and the immense audience were disappointed, and lit is said Manager Abbey is out some $3,OO0 in conse- quence. A very large audience had collected to witness the great actress impersonation of Camille, and regret at the result was general. It is said Bernhardt's excitement was occa- stoned by the fact that both the hall and stage were too small and was not more elegantly fitted up. It appears that the advance agent of the company had a misunderstanding with the Mobile Theatre manager which resulted in fisticuffs, and that the agent hired Temper ance Hall, where an attempt was made to give the performance.

A snowbound City-Na Fuel Within Its

 CHICAGO, Feb. 16.-Major Crockett, dep- uty United States marshal, and Colonel Cur ney, who returned to this city after being snowbound fourteen days at Appleton and the vicinity of Big Stone county, bring fearful reports of the situation in that section. They visited as many farmers as they could reach, and described their condition as most de- plorable. Many of the houses were shanties erected to fill the requirements ef the home. stead laws TAass were completely covered by snow, and egress and entrance was made through tunnels. Most of the farmers were entirely out of food and had consumed all their hay for fuel, and were now using wheat for cooking purposes Owing to tue fact of their houses being partially or wholly buried in snow, there was in those they visited no real suffering from cold, but should another cold spell visit them before an op- portunity is given to replenish their fuel sup. ply there might be terrible suffering end loss of life. So far as known when Major Brock cit left Appleton, there had been one death from freezing, Mrs. Chapman, living some thirty miles beyond in Lacqui, Pafle county. Appleton has a population of between four and five thousand, and it is estimated that there was not more than half cord of wood and two or three tons of coal in the town.

The League Campaign A Manifesto From Parnen -- The Leader at His POst-Some Sound Advice to His Fol- Iovvers-Attemptt to Blow Up the Dublin Barracks.
 DUBLIN, Feb. 16-At a meeting of the Land League to-day manifesto from Parnell was read. It is thoughtful and strong doc ument Parnen states that he has decided to remain in Parliament, which is his post of duty during the present crisis The move ment in the United States in favor of the work of the league Parnen says is capable of immense development, but this would depend entirely upon the stand maintained in Ireland. If there should be finching at home disas- trous results would be produced in the United States. If the friends of Ireland in the United States see her sons standing firm in their own country, and daring imprisonment and death in her service, they will not fail to support them with money, men and moral influence. Parnell recommends vigorous agitation in be- half of Ireland in England and Scotland. A junction between the English and Scotch democracy and Irish nationalists will prove irresistible. Help will continue to come from America. Parnell ends his address by asking the tenant farmers to pursue their unity of action, to work together in insisting upon their rights while refraining from acts of vio- lence, and to be firm in the belief that victory will at last crown their exertions.
 A great scare was experienced here to-day over a supposed Fenian attempt to blow up the barracks. Two dynamite machines were discovered near the building A light had been applied to them, but it was quickly put out The rufian who placed the machines made good his escape.
 LONDON, Feb. 17.-The reported confer ence between Mir. Parnell and Henri Roche fort excites great disgust in Catholic circles.
 A Paris dispatch says James Stephens, the head center of the Fenian order has left that city. Victor Hugo has promised to write manifesto in favor of the Land League. The Parisians are much pleased at Parnell's man. ners. He will return first to Dublin and then take his seat in Parliament The gov ernment examine all letters from Paris very strictly.
