External Use Of Castor. Oil.

The London Medical Journal gives re-
ports from various practitioners who have
found purgative results follow the inunc-
ton of castor oil. One writer states that
he has frequently applied this oil to the
abdomen, under spongiopiline or other
waterproof material, in cases where the
usual way of administering by the mouth
seemed undesirable, and with the most
satisfactory consequences. In q case Of
typhoid fever. also, half an ounce Of
castor oil was applied in this manner,

of this being as represented, to relieve
the constipation and tympanitic disten-
ton that had been present, without un-
due purging or irritation of the bowels.

And SO we sat down on the steps of
the porch and read the letter together. I
shall not give the words of Monsieur
Simon's epistle. It was long, and was
written in English considerably worse
than that which he used when speaking.
This is the purport of it. The night be-
fore he had penetrated into the chamber
in the southeast bastion. He had unex-
pectedly reached the wall of the cham
Der, and had been unable to resist the
temptation of cutting hole through it.
Then, with candle in his hand he had
entered the hidden dungeon. The won
ders of the place were more than he
could describe. Against the northern
wall were three iron cages, each con-
tanning skeleton; on the outstretched
hands of one of these was massive ring.
Against the eastern wall stood two skel-
etons, chained in an upright position.
On square stone in the center of the
the room was bronze jar partly filed
with ancient coins and medals. By the
side of the jar was roll of manuscripts
tied together with leathern thongs.
At this point in the letter Miss NAL
lette looked at me without saying q
word. Hooked at her, and we went on.
There were other objects in the room
which the writer had not time to exam
inc; but in the southwest corner, to the
right of the hole he had. made, there
stood most wonderful figure. It was .
tall mummy, completely clad in armor.
"a mummy in armorr' exclaimed
Miss Mallette, with burst of laughter.

Lieutenant Chipp aud Party.

The Engineer Of the Jeanette,
Melville, reports that having found
the dead bodies Of Captain belong
and his companions, he started in
search Of Lieutenant Chip and his
seven men. We are not permitted to
entertain serious expectation that
these unfortunate Adventures will
ever be heard from. The New York
Times condenses the history of this
boat up to the point Of disappearance,
as follows:
THE second cutter was the smallest
and least seaworthy boat of the three.
She was but sixteen feet long, and had
not room enough for her due proper
ton of the provisions. After the
separation of the boats in the terrible
gale of November IL, the whaleboat. a
stanch and every way seaworthy little
craft, nearly twice as large as the
second cutter, was saved from swamp
ing only by the untiring labors of all
her crew and the expert seamanship
Of Engineer Melville and Lieutenant
Danenhower. When day dawned the
whaleboat was alone, and, IN all human
probability, Lieutenant Chip and his
boats crew did not live to see that
dawn. Lieutenant Danenhower be-
lieves that the boat swamped during
the gale, or if she weathered it and
made land, that her crew would have
been in far worse plight than De.

Recalling Old Times.
San Francisco Post.

Fourteen year ago, when Chester A.
Arthur was struggling local politi-
clan in New York of what is known
there as the Custom House variety, he
numbered among his friends the mate
of a vessel, named Kennedy, whose
influence Arthur had often occasion
to use when circumstances required
the votes Of the floating population of
the harbcr front.
Just about that time Arthur made
an unsuccessful effort to obtain some
minor municipal appointment. The
mate condoled with his friend upon
his disappointment, and soon after
sailed for Washington with cargo of
hardware. While ascending the Po-
tomac block aud tackle fell upon the
mates head, indenting his skull in
such a manner that the man became
practically an idiot, and WAS placed in
the District Of Columbia Insane Asy-
lum, A short time ago the famous
surgeon Dir. Gros, of Philadelphis,
visited the asylum, examined the case
and straightway performed an opera
ton invented by himself, which re-
suited in the almost immediate return
of the patients reason, the intervening
fourteen years being, of course, a
complete blank.
A day or two after his recovery
the mate walked out and began
strolling through the capitol building
Almost the first person he encountered
was President Arthur, who was just
leaving the Executive chamber in the
Senate wing.
why, how are you, Kennedy" said
the 6rst citizen, affably extending his
hand. "Glad to see you"
"HOwdy, old man, said the sailor.
"How's things? Got job YETI"
well, l believe l have" said the
Executive, with smile. "a pretty
big job, too. You must come up to
the White House aud see me"
ITO the White House2" repeated
the amazed mariner.
Yes, just ask for my private score
tary, and he'll show you right in, and
the President walked on.
Poor old Chetl-clean gone, clean
gone,' unused the mate. Actually
believes himself President Of the Uni
ted States. Smart man once, too.
That lust shows you, gentlemen" he
continued, turning TO the bystanders,
that just shows you what politics and
disappointment will bring a man to,

To the credit of the Irish race
throughout the world they almost
universally condemn the ghastly crime
of assassination, even though it may
have been committed by pretended
friends Of the Irish cause. Parnell,
Dillon and Davitt say: 1--WE feel that
no act that has ever been perpetrsted
in our country during the exciting
struggles Of the past fifty years has so
stained the name Of hospitable Ireland
as this cowardly and unprovoked as
saSsination Of friendly strangers, and
that until the murderers of Cavendish
and Burke are brought to justice that
stain will sully our country's name"
A few such wild fanatics as
OrowO may approve the deed
and Mr.. O'Donovan Rsssa may
withhold any expression of condemna-
ton, but the masses everywhere have
been prompt to express their abhor-
renee of the deed. A meeting Of
Irishmen and their friends will be
held at the Court House to night to
take suitable action, and Memphis
will not be behind other cities. The
meeting was purposely delayed a day
in order that fuller particulars might
behad and to the end that there might
be intelligent discussion and the
verdict Of calm, deliberate judgment.
