Dangerous Trip for Boynton.
 RICHMOND, May 19.-Captain Paul Boyn- ton, the famous navigator, to-day made the dangerous passage of the falls of the James river at th1s place. The current here is very swift The water rushes over numberless huge boulders of rocks and through angry eddies To make the passage more danger ous the river bed is obstructed in almost all of the narrow passages by dangerous spikes and the remains of fish traps. Notwithstand- ing this Boynton successfully accomplished the feat of shooting the rapids, escaping without serious injury. He said when he came out of the water that this was one of. the most dangerous voyages he ever made. About ten thousand people lined the banks of the river, the distance being about half mile and the descent of the falls about seven- ty five feet. When he came out of the water he was warmly greeted and vociferously cheered by the crowd.

Indiana Ears.
A Description of a Pair that Do Not Seem
 to be Mules


 William Lester, aged 10 years, lives with his father on the Wea plains. His right ear is as large as palm-leaf fan, while the other is no bigger than the ear of an ordinary sized wax doll With his small ear he can hear the faintest buzzing of the smallest bugs and in- sects, and even detect sounds uttered by the ninutest animalcule-so small that they are not even visible to the naked eye. fly running along window pane, a caterpillar crawling across q sheet of paper makes suf- fcient noise to attract his attention, even when his back is turned. The sense of hear ing is so acute in this ear that 1t is absolutely painful to him, and he is compelled to wear a cork in it at all times. The right and large ear is quite the reverse of it's little companion in both it's powers and properties. To it those minute and near sounds so plainly discernible to the other are lost but distant noises are readily heard Although residing 15 IA miles from any railrOad-Lafayette being the nearest point-yet Willie can distinctly hear the train and mills blowing their whistles, and can easily distinguish between the en zine bells and the city bells. He can hear the coming of storm long before there are any signs of it in the air and even long be- fore the weather bureau gives notice of it's approach. At suggestion of a neighbor, MT. Lester had a wire gauge lid with a tin rim made to fit over Wille's ear It consists of two thicknesses of gauge, the outer one being larger mesh than the inner one be- tween the two there is an intervening thick ness of loose flannel to soften sounds Willie wears it continually, and this, with the cork in the small ear, has the effect of reducing his hearing to normal condition.

Hung Though He May Be Innocent.
 NASHVILLE, May 19.-N. W. Req was hung to-day at Pulaski for the murder of James Goodwin, who was shot through the window of his house at country store in Giles coun- ty.

Strong efforts were made by the very best citizens of his county and State to have his sentence commuted to imprisonment for life. The rope broke on the first trial and he was hung the second attempt. About four thousand people witnessed the execution.

NORTH SIDNEY, c. B., May 19.-The oper- ator at Meat Cove reports having seen from the mountain lookout far out between St. Pauls and Cape Ray two steamers going north one with two masts towing larger three -masted vessel He has no doubt it is the Peruvian in tow of the relief steamer Newfoundland, as they were in clear water. The operator reports seeing clear water as far as the Magdalen Islands. The office at Magdalen Islands reports little ice to the northward. so there is but little doubt but that the Peruvian will make her way safely up the St. Lawrence.

THE WONDER

Is becoming universal as to how such an im- mense sale could be created in Lowell for Hoops SARSAPARILLA. But, my friend, if you could stand behind our counter week and hear what those say who are using 1t, the reason would appear as clear as the monday sun. The real curative power of EooD's SARsAPARILLA demonstrates itself in every case where our directions are faith fully regarded. We would that we might get before the people a fractional part of the confidence that is expressed to us every day in this medicine by those who have carefully noted (without preiudice) its effects upon the blood and through that upon the whole sys- tenn, stimulating all the functions of the body to perform the duties nature requires of them. Try bottle and satisfy yourself.

After taking one bottle of your Sarsaparflla she began to i'm prove; and she now has good appetite and nothing compared with what it was one year ago. She is in better spirits, is not troubled nlIH COlu HduuS anu leeL as pIoYlOuSly. Ana l attribute this improvement in her cOndi- t1on largely to your, Sarsaparilla.
