generally costive, sometimes alternating with lag:
with considerable loss of memory, accompanied
with painful sensation ofleavng undone something
which ought to have been done; slight, dry cough
and flushed face is sometimes an attendant, often
mistaken for consumption; the patient complains
OF WEAKNESS and debility: nervous, easily startledi
feet cold or burning, sometimes prickly sensation
of the skin exists: spirits are low and de:Pondent.
and although satisfied that exercise would be bene
fetal, yet one can hardly summon up fortitude to
try tin fact, distrusts every remedy. Several
of above symptoms attend the disease but cases
have occurred when but few of them existed, yet
examination after death has shown the Liver 70

It should be used by all persons, old and
young, whenever any Of the above

Grafton by Marshal souIt.

Soult, Duke of Dalmatig one of the fin

accent which he never could get rid Of
and was anything but a ready speaker
Tradition has preserved his Grafton before

War Department as follows:

ELGEM CREAMERY

The two competitors for highest
honors in this branch of the art of
killing were pitted formally against
one another at the port of Cherbourg
few days ago, when the old estab-
lished tavorite seems to have been
beaten by several lengths. The ex.
periments were conducted 10 this
way: A number of holes were bored
at low water in the rocks, which are
covered when the tide comes in. Some
OF them we're filed with mining
charges OF dynamite and some with
panclastite, but the quantity of the
former was in each case double that of
the latter. Nevertheless, when thew
were fired benelih the sea the effects
OF the explosion were invariably
as 1t is said, much more severe
IN the case of the new than the old
compound The trial was repeated
several times in different formations
OF rocks, but always with the same
result. Nor is it necessary for there
to be more resistance to the one than
the other agent. When a charge of
panclastite was laid at the side of a
railway line and ignited, it shattered
the metal into pieces and did still
more damage to the sleeper than
would have been done by dynamite
The credit Of the new compound
seems therefore to be established be-
yoDd the risk of doubt. There is
however, this important difference
between it and the old agent of de.
struction, which may be deemed an
advantage for one or the other. accord
ing to the purpose intended The
force necessary for exploding dyna.
mite is presented by the blow of a
twelve pound iron weight dropped
on it from a hight of about two feet,
Panclastite, however, will not explode
when struck by the same weight at
any hight less than thirteen feet so
that 1t is apparently safer as we'll as
a more powerful material,

instant. The skiff at the same time
was near steep cliff Of rocks, whose
walls were two hundred feet in hight,
and the Indians, observing that the
eddy was about swallowing the boat
and crew, jumped out and clung TO
the rocks, and Gooch endeavored to
do the same thing after them. He
secured a slight hold to the perpen-
dicular side of the cliff, clung to it
only for moment, then fell into the
water and was seen no more. Coleman
sprang from the stern of the skiff out
into the river and got beyond the eddy,
where he watched for the appearance
OF the boat. He had not long to wait
but it seemed to him ages. when he
caught sight Of it bottom upward, a
few yards down the river, when he
swan after it, overtaking and clinging
to it.
In this condition, for three miles.
he went shooting past rocks, plough
ing through breakers aud whirling
about in ed lies. when he came
face to face TO one of those roar
ing rapids and treacherous eddies
SO numerous and so dreadful in
the Colorado. There was no time
to lose. Another chance between lie
and death, and that chance, perhaps,
was the only one in thousand The
resolution was formed one moment and
executed the next. The skif was in
the midst Of the rapids, standing on
end, another breaker and over it
went This was an indescribable mo
men to Coleman, whose sole reliance
had deserted him, as be felta prisoner
in the hands Of death; and though be
had scarcely known his strength be-
fore, here vas desperate opportunity
tor its test, and he says that he felt he
was a mere straw at the mercy of
wave one second and an eddy the
next.
Here was waged a fierce and pro
tracted struggle for life between a
powerful man and skillful swimmer.
weighing 225 pounds, and first whirl

size and danger can never be realized
except by the man whose life was
trembling in the balance; but courage
aud human strength at last prevailed.
and the brave man swan on over rap

distance Of three of as perilous miles
as were probably ever won by man.
Who can imagine his feelings as he
reached in safety and crawled upon
the river bank, where he lay for some
time completely exhaustedP As soon
as he had regained sufficient strength
Coleman set out for the canyon, and,

What q NashViIlian Saw the
Comet DO.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, October 5.-This
morning about half.past o clock Mr.. L.
4. Barnard, of this city, discovered that
the nucleus in Cruls comet had separated
into thrre fragments, the largest estimated
to be 1900 miles in length. The space
between the fragments of the nucleus was
estimated to be not less than 1000 miles.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Barnard OBJ
served that the nucleus had assumed tho
form of long strip not less than 24,C0O
miles in length and 5000 in breadth.
THE STATEMENT CoRRoBoRATED.
CINCINNATI, October Professor Will
son, of the Cincinnati Observatory, cor
roborates the statement coming from
Nashville of the separation of the nucleus
of the comet this morning into three
unequal fragments. and his estimates of
their size and distance apart agree with
those made at Nashville. The disturbance
makes no difference in the appearance of
the comet to the naked eye.

Death of NIIss Lnnrn EnsIer.

The Oldest daughter of our we'll
known and popular citizen Colonel
Enoch Ensley was killed at Nashville
late yesterday afternoon by leaping
from a carriage or drag, while a pair
of korses were running at the top OF
their speed. Miss Ensley was out for
pleasure drive, Ia company with
Miss Alice Rains, Mr.. Gee. Burton
and Mr.. Chas. Porter. The latter
was driving. Near the corner Of
Seventh and Woodland streets, while
on a descending grade, one Of the
horses was touched by the vehicle, and
the team at once became restiYe and
broke of at runaway pace
At the corner Of Ninth street
Miss Ensley leaped out, her
head striking a stone as she fell,
causing fracture Of the skull, from
which death eRsged shortly after 5
o'clock, and some two and half hours
after the unfortunate lady rnoived
the injury. Mr.. Barton, her com
panion, jumped after Miss Ensley, and
received a compound fracture Of the
ankle and leg below the knee. His
leg will probably be ampgtated to-
day. Mr.. Porter and Miss Rains re
mained in the vehicle and escaped
uahurt. The gentleman, after guiding
the horses a mile or 50 beyond the
scene of Miss Ensley's fall on their
