My DEAR MIR. PERCY have suffered
from Hay Fever during the last twe.ve
years. II sets in on the 18th of August,
annually, and terminates when frost APP

without effect. This year QSS2) have
used your preparation, which has enabled
me to attend to my business, which, before
using it, could not do. The Asthma
from which had suffered SO severely, and
which almost produced suffocation, has
been completely arrested by your valuable
medicine 1t is without doubt very ex-
cellent specific for Auiumnal Catarrh.
Yours truly, DAVID FLYNN.

lines are getting on swimminglY, but
the latter know too much about the
business to be fooled that way. In
several cities business circles have be-
come restive under the delays and
errors occasioned by the rush of bust
ness uron new hands. The situation
stands Just about as it did one week
ago with odds in favor Of the operators.
This is indicated by the surrender of

The Iowa coal miners and mine
operators held a Joint convention

by Roman, in a strong assurance that
tha Roman valor and courage would
soon raise the siege Equal to the

the marriage OF the Hon. John Han

Lace Work.

When Colbert, the French Minister,
established the royal mandatory Of
lace at Alencon, he compelled all lace
makers to work in it, and this led to a
revolt among them, which was ended
by compromise. Some years later the
extravagant expenditure on lace l'To-
duced q sumptuary law limiting the use
OF it; then appeared q satirical poem,
LA Revolte des Passemens," in which
the laces are represented as revolving,
like their makers, against this tyranny,
but running away as soon as they are
really opposed; every kind well known
in that day is introduced into the poem,
with some notice of its nature and
worth, and thus, as often happens, a
mere squib, written to amuse a gay cir

The Tragedy Of a Dutch Oven.

It happened on certain inauspicious
occasion that the Hash Mill was in a
hollow about one-fourth of mile in
rear of the battery, and, as Evans be-
lieved his position to be perfectly safe,
he laid himself away on couple OF
tents, which were on the mess chest in
the Hash Mill and soon fell into a
sound and patriotic slumber.
1t further happened that the people
on the other side let go shell at US.
This shell passed over our heads.
skinned along the ground in the rear,
dropped into the hollow and into the
end of the Hash Mill and the mess
chest, where it exploded, lifting Evans,
the chest, the tents and most of the
Hash Mill into o neigboring sweet po-
tato patch.
In all human probability there new
er was more thoroughly demorahzed
patriot than Evan, was when he gos
himself together alter chat explosion.

would have recognized the Confederacy

and it seemed IS il rs t!e.r soul was
running ont throu:,,i. that oFen hole.

prised to see lin g. the front, whither
he le;ook himself after the explosion.
His eye had none OF the old lnince-
pie lustar, but war-iile glare.
Major" he remarked, "they have
busted the mess chest; they have
knocked a hole in the Dutch oven, and
1 have come to the front for revenge"
Inever knew just what was his idea
of revenge. I always believed, how
ever, that he contemplated knocking
the bottom out of some Dutch oven be-
longing to the enemy.
I suggested to him that if he really
had a hankering for blood he could Just
stay where he was, and that he stood q
right smart chance of getting a drink
of that warlike beverage by early can

Poor old Evans!
AS honest a soul as ever had Dutch

capnons mouth.
He little knew what it was to stand
up in a battery and help to avenge the
untimely taking off of an ovens bot
tom.
Soon the people on the other side
open again and men and horses and
gun carriages and the gun GO down.
There, Just in rear of the line, burns
a Pickering bivouac fire, which il
lumines with a sickly glare the pallid
face of q soldier, who lies on his back,
with a discarded knapsack for pillow,
and with both hands clutching the
crimsoned grass at his side, while his
ifeblood slowly runs away.
A comrade bends over him and
whispers:

sorry. Can we do anything?"

The last word was never spoken.
