THE American vines which have been
set out in France in place of those which
the phylloxera has destroyed are said to
be causing much disappointment BY
their susceptibility to mildew, a disease
which they brought with them, and
which has been hitherto unknown in
France. It Is said to have worked havoc
already in the southwestern part of the
country, and to be spreading everywhere
among French vineyards.

Do Not Be Deceived.

In these times of quack medicine advertise
ments everywhere it is truly gratifying to find
one remedy that is worthy of praise, and which
,eally does as recommended. Electric Bitters
we can vouch for as being true and reliable
emedy and one that will do as recommended.
They invariably cure Stomach and Liver COM
plants, Diseases of the Kidneys, and Urinary
difficulties. We know whereof we speak, and
can readily say, give them q trial. Sold at SO

Mr.. Barnes Tapped Lung.

A. FL. Barnes, of this place, fights off
consumption by wearing a silver tube,
which passes between the ribs into the
lungs. In 1849 Mr.. Barnes, then living
in Sycamore, DeKalb county, ILL.,, was
declared an incurable consumptive
The lung was tapped and he recovered.
In 1868 he was again taken down by the
disease, when he once more resorted to
the tube and has worn it ever since
There is daily discharge of matter.
Mr.. Barnes is man Of very regular and
temperate habits, does not use tobacco
in any form nor stimulants of any kind !:
hardly ever uses medicine excepting
sometimes little iron for the blood; is
always feeling well when the hole in his
side Is open, sometimes feeling heavi-
ness there, but has got used to that.
The case is certainly worthy of the
special attention of medical men. It
seems to give man new lease of life,
even when apparently as good as dead
When Mr.. Barnes conceived the idea Of
tapping his lung, all the physicians but
one secuted it as thing that would
prove fatal. However, he persuaded q
DR.. Woodman to perform the operation.
In 1863 Mr.. Barnes was in Honey Lake
valley, and was on the brink of the grave.
Now, again, the resident physicians
we're opposed to the idea of an incision,
and, after repeated appeals for an oper-
alton, which were refused, Mr.. Barnes
borrowed lance and cut open his side
himself. He then inserted catheter,
and, drawing off nearly quart of mat
ter, immediate relief was found. The
cough and expectoration stopped almost
instantly, and Mr.. Barnes was soon on
his feet again. Thus he has prolonged
his life over thirty years.-Re,ao (Neu }

Gum Arabic.
The most familiar objects about us
are often least understood, and probably
few can pause to ask the question, what
is gum arabic, and from whence II
comes? In Morocco, about the middle
of November Chat is just after the rainy
SEASON., a gummy juice exudes spon
taneously from the trunk and branches
of the acacia. It gradually thickens in
the furrow down which it runs, and as
sumes the form of oval and round drops
about the size of pigeon egg, of diff.
ferent colors, as it comes from the rec
or white gum tree. About the middle
of December the Moors encamp on the
border of the forest and the harvest
lasts full month. The gum is packed
in large leather sacks and transported
on the backs of camels and bullooks *
seaports for shipment to different coun-
tries. The harvest occasion is made one
of great rejoicing, and the people, TO,
the time being, almost live on gum
which is nutritious and fattening. Sucl
is the commercial story of this simple
but useful article.

ERDENHEIM BOUGHT BACK.
Aristides Welch Pays Commodore Kittson
$4,000 and Retains His Famous Farm.
[Philadelphia Times, Jan. 12l

$4,000 and Retains His Famous Farm.
Philadelphia Times, Jan. 12.l
Aristides WEIGH has resolved to retain
the ownership of Erdenhelm, his famous
Chestnut Hill stock farm, where Harold,
Parole, Iroquois, and SO many other great
racers were bred. It appears that after
the farm and stock were sold to Commo-
dore Kittson, of Minnesota, Mr.. Welch's
children and other relatives prevailed
upon him to reconsider the sale, arguing
that he would not be contented away
from his old home, and that as he was an
aged man.. and the business of stock rails
ing was congenlal, it would be better for
him to remain at Erdenheim than visit
Europe, as he intended These arguments
prevailed, and Mr.. Welch asked Commo-
dore Kittson to allow him to pay a forfeit
and retain the farm. The Commodore
objected at first, but finally agreed to give
up his bargain and accept the small for
felt of $1,000 in cash and two brood
mares, valued at $500. The forfeit was
paid in New York yesterday, when Com
modore Kittson presented his agent, Mr..
Hubbell, with $500 of the forfeit money.
Erdenheim was at once conveyed back to
Mr.. WEIGH, who will manage it as here
tOfore.

Brooks, the chief of the treasury detectives,
who visited the prisoner in the night, and
whose evidence the prosecution tried so hard
to suppress, as they they did the notes CT
Bailey, the evidence of Detective McElfresh,
and in fact all the evidence that might in any
way aid the prisoner, Reed claimed came like
godsend.
GUITEAU's INSANITY.
Reed went on at some length in an argument
to demonstrate the insanity of the prisoner.
His father, he maintained, was insane
religious subjects and forced him into that
vestibule of hell, the Oneida community. "Be-
fore that he had led pure life and his father
had convinced him he would go to hell unless
he became member of the Oneida communi-
ty, and he went there 10 save his SOUL"
Guiteau abruptly said: "When got there,
/ got into hell, and I did not get out for six
years."
PERORATION.
In conclusion Reed said: Gentlemen of the
jury, You all said when you were sworn, that
you would be governed by the evidence and
stand up to it without regard to the effect it
might have on you and your business. l adj
jure you to keep that oath. Falter not in the
performance of the duty which shall save you
and this fair land from eternal disgrace. as
sert that conviction of this man to the gal
lows and his execution would be an infamy
beyond description, an indelble stain on Amer
lean jurisprudence and American juries. Think
of the scene if you condemn him to the gal
lows. Though not present in body to see the
sight you cannot but be there in mind if
such day shall eyer come. I do not be
lieve it ever can come under this
evidence. Think of this man brought out
from his cell, with the same pale face and
same wandering eyes, the officers of the law
gathering round him pinioning him, binding
him with cords, so his muscles stand out,
covering him with black hood, shutting out
the light of day from him, and leading him
to the scafold"
The prisoner would rather go that way
than be smashed up in railroad cars as some
poor fellows were last night.
Reed, continuing-"Th of him, lunatic,
condemned to the gallows-a lunatic whom
the Savior, if he were on earth, would heal.
The picture is not overdrawn. l am very
much obliged to you for your attention.
ouly ask, you, pray do that much, shall not
in after years bring blush of shame to your
cheeks'
The prisoner-"Reed is good fellow, but
L would not give cent bushel for his rub
bish. If l could only have talk with that
jury would give them the right theory"
The court then adjourned. Reeds argu-
ment was listened to with close attention and
evident interest from the beginning to its
close. Mrs. Scoville sat all day in a mournful
attitude with her hand covering her face most
of the time to conceal her tears, while her
little daughter stood by her side and by her
careSSeS sought to curb her grief

The Chicago Theaters.

CHICAGO, Jan. 13.--The theater managers
here say that sensational reports have been
published throughout the country, tending
to show that examining commissioners have
been refused admission to one theater (Hoo-
ley's), but they have stated, regarding those
into which they have examined, that they are
in dangerous condition. Mr.. Hooley says,
not only did he not refuse admission, but was
the first to invite inspection, that they found
his house one of the best protected In tine city.
The examining commissioners have invariably
met with a hearty cooperation from all
managers, and their. suggestions have been
speedily adopted and acted on by the proprie-
tors of all places of amusement. 1t is pre-
dicted, as result of their visits, that audi
ences will hereafter be as nearly secure in all
these houses as they can be made.

WASHINGTON, Jan. illustrators who favor
Browns resolution for the appointment of
private secretary for each senator who is not
chairman of. a committee, at salary of 81 200
year, to be paid out of the contingent fund,
are laboring earnestly to get it adopted. The
Democrats generally are willing to vote for it,
because they do not feel responsible now for
the senate legislation. They consider the Re-
publlcans responsible, because they control
the committees. and this responsibility makes
the Republicans hesitate Some of them,
however, are supporting the resolution, and
its chances of success in the senate have visi-
bly, improved in the last several days, but the
house may defeat the project. It is
true that the house will not have an opportu-
nifty to vote against this resolution directly,
because it provides for the payment of sena-
tors clerks out of the senate contingent fund,
but to do this the contingent fund will have
to be increased considerably, and the house
will have to vote upon this increase. The
theory of senator's that they have greater
need of a secretary than the representatives, is
not endorsed by the latter. The members of
the house insist that their labors are just as
onerous as those of senators, and should the
senate adopt Browns resolution the house
will probably either defeat it ultimately by
voting down any increase of the contingent
fund, or initiate the senate by voting money
to pay private secretaries for representatives..
