The blood is the foundation Of
life, it circulates through every part
Of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the oaty sure and quick way to drive
It out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Browns IRON BITTERs will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part of the system, and II will
Rot blacken the teeth, cause head

FALLING FLOODS.
A Further Decline of Five Inches at st.
LoHis and Ten Inches at Kan
sas City.
The Railroads Rapidly Getting Into shape
fer Business of the Relief
Committees.

ST. LOUIS, June 18--There is not much to
be said about the food here or elsewhere
tonight. The river has fallen three inches
during the past twenty-four hours, and the
feeling that no more damage will be
done constantly strengthens. About 800
men are working on the Chicago and
Alton embankment, and il will be put in
thorough repair 40 fast IS the water recedes.
The tres,le across the gap near Newport is
serving its purpose admirably, and the
trains of the Chicago and Alton, Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy, indianapolis and
St. Louis, and Wabash are passing over it
without interruption. The Indianapolis will
put force at work tomorrow 10 build
similar trestle, nd the Wabash will commence
work on its track at Nameoki aud other
places as SOON as it appears above water.
The Relief Committee of Venice made boat
excursions out over the bottoms to-day and
relieved thirty additional distressed families.
Thirty families at East Carondelet were also
relieved. The Society of the Red Cross has
rendered all the funds in it's treasury for the
aid of the sufferers. The Globe Democrat
fund, of upward $500, will BE- distributed to-
morrow, and he money from other sources
will be turned over 10 the different relief
committees. Information from the upper
Missouri aud upper Mississippi rivers is that
all treams are falling, but there is
still apprehension that the head of the
June rise from the mountains will reach
here before any great decline lakes place. 1t
now turns out that there is a good deal of
land north and east OF Mitchell which will
not be OVERLOOKED, and the farmers there are
making sctive preparations TO cut their
wheat, which is ready for harvesting. Con-
siderable sipe water Is appearing iu different
parts OF East st. Louis, but not enough TO do
any damage

SLAVERY IN BOLIVIA.
| INDIANS OPENLY SOLD INTO sERvIruDE FOR
| BRAZILIAN GOLD.


PANAMA, June 16.-The greatest lawless-
ness prevails in the BENZ, although there is
a project and other authorities in the de-
partment who are appointed by the BRAZIL su
government, and the Indians are openly cap
tured aud forced to work or sold into slavery
in other districts. A correspondent writing
from The Benz ssys:
The manner Ia which the Indians are
disappearing from this department is truly
terrifying. 1t is heart breaking 10 hear the
accounts given by traders and travellers The
scandalous sale and traffic in these unfortu-
mates continue and will always continue,
and there is no human power TO correct the
terrible abuse. All the DEGREES and The ef-
t5Tts OF the authorities are powerIess before
Brsziliau gold, which can be easily obtained
in return for men and women who are stolen
from their families"
These Indians, when not employed in the
immediate vicinity, are sold off in droyes to
work on the plantations in the heart OF Bra
I'll. 1t is fact that regular shaving expedi-
tions visit many of the UNEMPLOYED tribu-
tarIes of the Amazon, and that cruelties as
horrible as were ever perpeirated during the
days of the African slave trade are of com
mon occurrence in the inland waters OF the
South American Continent.
The rubber fields of the BENZ are rapidly
being destroyed, and it is anticipated that
very shortly there will be no more trees to
chop down.
Campero, the Bolivian President, has puu-
ished Senior Irsizos, editor of La Patria, for
having written several articles on behalf of
peace. The mode of punishment was worthy
of Melgareio, Daza or the others who have
sigualizsd themselves by their brutality
Senior 1raizos Was seized by the police, his
ears were bored and he was then dressed in
suit of the coarse C 9th woven by the In
dams for their use

New York, June 2S-Isaac A. Briggs.
a broker, and Wesly Lyon, lawyer, both OF
this city, with Emil Brice, lawyer, nearly
seventy years old, of Stanford, Conn.,, we're
arrested on the charge of selling forged
Missouri State bonds to Edwin r. Kirk, a
resident of HOboken, n. J., doing business in
this city as a sailm aker. Kirk was induced
to purchase bonds Of the face value Of S271, :
1855, but subsequently becoming suspicious
he instituted inquiries by which he learned
that Brice bad had similar bonds litho-
graphed in this city on the representation
that he was a State official of Missouri.
Briggs was sent TO the State prison some
years ago for attempting to blackmail john
Jacob Astor. Brice ranks as a professional
forger. He WAS arrested in Michigan in
1868, in company with the father of Charles
Lacia. Wesly Lyon was arrested in this
city year and half ago on the charge of
selling forged bonds, bit was released on bail
and has never been tried. When Briggs was
rrested there were found 10 his possession
bonds of The New York and Atlantic Rail-
road Company, and Chicago, Brazil aud

A Curious Case.

The people of Elizabeth, Pa, are greatly
Stirred up over a suit in which eight young
lsdies, whose ages range from fourteen TO
twenty years, figure as defendants in an
action for nuisance. They are all of respect
able families, and are young ladies of good

leges thst they assemble in the evening on
the street nesr his house and annoy his fam
lily and boarders with t1eir conversation and
laughter. The place is shady nook by the
river, and the girls, all living in The neigh
borhood, gather there in the evening TO pass
an hour pleasantly. Recently the keeper of
the house smeared tar on the stones where
they sit, and the girl- retaliaied by covering

JUDGE ToURGEE, the well-known editor Of
Dur Continent, has in the current number of
hat periodical a seemingly very carefully
prepared review Of the Democratic chances
In 1884 In the main il is az fair and Just
be the writer ia candid and outspoken.
|Choug pronounced Republican, he tries
TO do justice to the eminent men he meE-
ions, and generally speaking, he has suc-
Feeded. Here and there we find trifing in
Pccuracies of judgment, but these are ir-
vitable in one who is outside of the Demo
Frstic pale and knows nothing Of the internal
workings OF the party, save as they reach
him by the newspapers. His estimate OF
Ssyard as 'unquestionabIy the fret Demo-
ie statesman Of the land" is higher than
be South, where he is Justly esteemed, will
Omit. But this is due 10 the habit that has
|rowH up at the North Of Ignoring the public
men of the South in estimating the
|bility and standing OF Senators and Con.
IressmeD. Counted out in all Il estimates
4 party success at national elections because
4 the civil war, the leaders of the Demo-
ratio party at the South are ignored, and if
nentionsd at all, it is only as secondary
gents who can be relied upon to bring up
heir forces without reference 20 heir own
'ositions or their political future. Senator
'ayard is a statesman of the very fret order;
ndeed he is one of a very few men in either
arty to whom that rank can be assigned,
at he is moi the first, and if the South was
pmpletely and thoroughly adjusted TO her
ACE in the Union, if she could present her
bndidates for President and Vice
resident the fac, would be quick
J made apparent TO the whole
puntry. But returning to Tour gees review,
\ will be feen that he is very earnest for
Morrison, of Illinois, and Slocum, of New
FORK, and that he has a strong leaning to-
Fard Gen. Butler, who seems TO be r. ,rded
s a very positive quantity by all who have
entured TO review the field. Mcdonald he
cunts out OF the race, and he settles upon
Jew York and Indiana as the States that
will furnish the candidate, if their leaders
IRA only united
