LONDON, Jan. 31-The Manchester Guar
dams correspondent at Zara, Dalmatia, tele-
graphs that on Monday an Austrian detach-
ment conveying stores and powder between
NeyeGinje and Tobsche was routed and the
convoy captured. There has been another
desperate encounter near Bilek with the loss
of 20 men on each side. Thirty-five men from
Dalmatian regiments have deserted to the
rebels The calling of the Delmatian land
wehr is postponed because of their known dis
affection. Austria is making stupendous ef-
forts. A contract was signed with the Aus
trian Lloyds to transport 1000 men to south

continually employed. There was recently
false alarm at Castel Nueyo, Dalmatia, and
the Austrian commander fearing general
rising threatened to lombard the city.

The following statement of cor
respondent of the Stockton (Cal. }
Herald has been going the rounds of
the papers and We therefore produce
it for what it is worth:
Il herewith append receipt, which
has been used, to my knowledge, in
hundreds of cases. 1t will prevent
or cure the smallpox, though the pit
tings are filling. When Jenner dis
covered COW -pox in England the world
of science hurled an avalance of fame
upon his head; but when the most
scientific schools Of medicine in the
world-that of Parfs-published this
receipt as a panacea for smallpox,
it is passed unheeded. 1t is as unfail-
ing as fate, and conquers in every
instance.
1t is perfectly harmless when taken
by we'll person. 1t will also cure
the scarlet fever. Here is the receipt
as l have used it, and cured nv chill
dren of the scarlet fever. Here it is
as l have used to cure the smallpox.
When learned physicians said the
patient must die, it cured. Sulphate
of zinc, one grain; fox glove, one
grain; half tesspoonful of sugar;
mix with two tablespoonsful of water.
When thoroughly mixed add four
ounces of water. Take spoonful
every hour. Either disease will dis
appear in twelve hours. For child.
smaller doses, according to age. Ii
counties would compel their physi-
clans to use this, there would be no
need Of pest houses. If you value
advice and experience, use this for
that terrible disease.

\ LEG .tCN OF LOVE.
y Dying Lover Remembers His Beautiful
eetheart.

From the Fulton Gazette.
Our readers will remember the ac
ci'iental shooting and death of young
Andrew Harper, nephew of ex-Gov.
our columns several years ago, as TAX
INC place at Gov. Iardin's residence
in Mexico. Miss May Tompkins, the
beautiful girl to whom he was be-
| trothcd and who was at his bedside
t during the brief hours that interviewed
between the wound and death. after
wards visited Fulton AS the guest of
| DR.. and Mrs. Smith at the $. l.. A.. .,
and is known to many of our citizens.
From the Seialia Democrat we copy
] the interesting sequel to the brief
and romantic attachments:
Miss May Tompkins, former belle
of Bonneville, well known to many
persons in Sedalia, and the daughter
| Of Judge Benz. Tompkins, late of this
city, has recently come into posses
sion Of comfortable little fortune
$4,000. In the year 1878, young
man named Andrew Harper, Of Mex
leo, Mo-, was pupil at the kemper
Family School, in Boonvilc. The
Tompkins family resided here at the
same time. Harper, who was not yet
of age, and whose uncle. ex-Gov. G..
II. Hardin. was his guardian, became
acquainted and infatuated with Miss
| rompkins. The fact that the young
lover was brilliant, handsome and the
heir to $50, 900, gave only an intense
glow to the flame of the existing
affection between the twain. Added
to all this, Miss Tompkins was quite
young, fascinating and beautiful. At
the close of the school term, Harper
returned home and the marriage was
soon to have been celebrated. But
shortly before the anticipated happy
wedding day, Harper accidentally
aud fatally shot himself while prepar-
ing to start out on hunting expedi-
ton. Miss Tompkins fastened to
his bedside and nursed him tendcrly
unto his death After that sad event,
she returned to BoonvilIe and put on
the deepest widow mourning for her
dead lover Though, perhaps, ap-
propriate, the young lady's attire at
tracted especial attention from those
who were acquainted with the peculiar
circumstance in the case. 1t was
generally understood that it was the
desire of young Harper that she
should have portion of the fortune
in the hands of his guardian. Judge
Tompklns soon received government
appointment, through the influence
of Senator George G. Vest, and with
hi. family removed to Jetfersonville
Ind. This winter he has been in
Memphis, Tenn with his daug hte1
May, and there recently she received
the happy news that, by settlement
of IIarper's estate, Gov. Hardin hat
set aside $4,000 as her share of thu
fortune. SO much for Boonvill'
story of love, romance and death.

The Editorial "We."

Some people are unreasonably in
quisitive and curious, especially about
matters which do not concern them
In the least. For example, here is a
correspondent who makes the start

reader of our valuable and influential
paper" and would like to be inform

There are several reasons. Self
preservation is the first law Of nature.
1t begins at home like old Mother

editor thinks too much of his "I's"
to wear them in mourning, and there

nosed, pusillanimous, wife-beating
snoozer, he considers it the better
part of valor to drop in an occasional

the footer the impression that the
editorial force consists Of a standing
army, armed with dreadful "we"-
apons.
Furthermore, in cases where the
victim comes around to the office to
Kill the writer of any particular item,
it Is SO pleasant to have the guilty
mans identity buried in the obscu-
rity of the plural ''we." The editor
in-chief, the commercial editor, the
city editor. the local editor, tie re-
! porters, the book-keepers, compost
tors, book binders, jobhers, pressnen,
devil, and all the delivery boys are
thus placed on a common footing by
the little pronoun "we," and when
the cnraged person looks about him
and sees how many homes he would
make desolate, how many wives he
would make widows, and how many
children he would make orphans, by
killing off all included in the 1--WE"
