A Vegetable Product,

Only used in AYERS AGUE CURE, has
proven itself a never failing and rapid
cure for every form of Malarial Dis
order, Fever and Ague, or Chills and
Fever. No injury follows its use, and
it's effects are permanent. 1t rouses
the system to a condition of vigorous
health, cleanses the blood of malarial
poison, and imparts feeling of COM
fort and security most desirable in
Ague districts. 1t is an excellent tonic
and preventative, as well as cure, OF
all complaints peculiar to malarious,
marshy and miasmatic regions. The
great superiority of AYERS AGUE CURE
over any other compound Is that 1t
contains no Quinine, Arsenic, or min
eral; consequently it produces no
quinism or injurious effects whatever
upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy as If they had
never had the disease.
The direct action Of AYERS AGUE
CURE upon the Liver and Digestive
Organs makes it q superior remedy
for Liver Complaints, producing many
remarkable cures, where other medi-
cines have failed.

A Brave Naval Officer.

The crew of the United States steam
er Powhatan, says the New York Herald,
was being exercised recently while she
was lying off Port au Prince, and during
the exercises petty officer fell from the
yards. His body struck one of the guns
and shot through the portfolio into the
sea The Quartermaster, who was on
deck at the time, Immediately sprang
overheard and brought the body along
side. 1t was hauled up, but the
poor petty officer was found to be
dead, the shock of the fall on the deck
having evidently killed him before the
body fell into the water.
The Captain of the vessel which ar
rived from Port an Prince yesterday, in
describing what he had heard concern
ing the sad accident, says that the
Quartermaster was sent for by the Com
mander of the Powhatan after the body
of the petty officer had been taken out
of the water, and that q colloquy, SUBJ
stantially as follows took place:
s'Do you know the risk you ran in
jumping overboardp" the Commander
asked.
'But little risk, sir, I think; I'm a
good swimmer"
''But did you know that the vessel has
been all day surrounded by sharksP"
81 did, SIR
'And yet you went overboardP"
81 thought might save a life, sir.
The report of the Commander of the
Powhatan will no doubt have an honor
able mention of the brave Quarter
master. The merchant Captain who re-
ports the incidents narrated above adds
that the man who was killed was buried
with military honors, the remains being
escorted to the cemetery by guard of
marines, and the Catholic Bishop and
his assistants being in attendance in
their robes of office. The name of the
dead man was not ascertained by the
merchant Captain.

One hundred and twenty-nine tons
of ivory, at the recent sales in London,
brought, on an average, ESQ per ton.
A large proportion were ivory tusks,
showing how many elephants are de-
stroyed in early youth. 1t is estimated
that the 5,2S6 tons of ivory imported
into Great Britain during the nine years
from 1878 to 1881 represent 296,0l6 pairs
81 tusks. Hence. at this rate of destruc-
lion, the trade in real ivory seems to be
on the decline, and that in celluloid
increasing. Chicago Herald.

Not 1888. but 1883.

There have been for centuries doubts
as to the correctness of the accepted
calculation of the Christian era Some
learned historians cannot agree whether
Christ was born in the year TAI. 749, or
754, counting from the foundation Of
Rome. Recently Professor Sattler, of
Munich, has published an essay in which
he tries to reconcile the testimony of
the Evangelists with the other historic
cal data on this point. He has examined
four copper coins, newly discovered,
which were struck in the reign of Herod
Antipas, one of the sons of Herod the
Great, and comes to the conclusion that
Christ was born not 754, but 749 years
after the foundation of Rome, and
therefore that the present year is 1888
instead of 1888. This opinion the Pro-
fessor tries to corroborate by the testi-
mony of the Evangelists.
According to st. Matthew, Jesus was
born toward the end of the reign of
Herod the Great, and when that King
died Jesus was yet little child. Ac-
cording to st. Luke Jesus was born in
the year in which, by virtue of decree
of Augustus Caesar, Cyrenius, Governor
of Syria, made the first census of Judea.
Again, st. Luke says that st. John
began to baptize in the fifteenth year of
the reign of Tiberius Cesar, and in
that year baptized Jesus, who was
then thirty years of age. AS to the first
testimony there can be no misunder-
standing Christ, being born in 749,
was of course yet a babe in $50, when
Herod died. But the other testimony
needs some explanation. From the
BreUiariun Inperii Census of the
Empire) which was added to the will
of Augustus Caesar, it is evident that
thorough census of she countries that
composed the Roman empire must have
been made. In fact Augustus had
three censuses of his possessions
made, namely, i'm 726, TAG, and 766.
AS st. Luke says that in Judea the first
census was made during the reign of
Herod, the census must have been or
dered in TAG. Probably the census was
begun in Judea in TAT, and Professor Sat-
tier thinks it was not made in Jerusa-
lem earlier than 749. He finds that the
four coins enable him to make clear the
testimony of the Evangelist as to the
llJccutu year VI Juc IclSu VI llUcIluS.
Though Augustus died on August 10,
767, yet the beginning of the reign of
Tiberius must be counted year and
half earlier February 1867, when he
was appointed co-regent. Therefore
the fifteenth year of the reign of.
Tiberius falls in $50, when st. John
baptized Jesus, who was then about
thirty years of age.
An Evangelist says that Christ began
to preach forty-six years after the
temple at Jerusalem was built by
Herod. Now, it is known that the
building of the temple was begun
eighteen years after Herod was APP
pointed by the Roman Senate as Regent
of Judea, or in the year 734 from the
foundation of Rome. Adding forty
six to that year, it gives $50 as the year
in which Christ began to preach.
If all these calculations Of Professor
Sattler are correct, then the Christian
era began five years earlier than is
usually supposed, making the current
wear 1893 instead of 1SS3-N y SIM

1t is estimated that nine-tenths of
all the mercantile failures of the United
States are due to speculations in affairs
outside the particular lines of business
in which those who fail were engaged.
This looks like an exaggeration, yet
the percentage is known to be very
large. In the haste to be rich men
make hazardous adventures, and, if I'M
successful, find themselves so crippled

district commissioners say that their object in re-
quiring a deposit of $500 from the company is
SIMPLY to insure the completion of the under
ground cable between the date fixed aud the con
sequent removal of the poles from Fourteenth
street. 1t is O simple business transaction. The
high character Of the members OF the telephone
company and the we'll known Integrity Of the

the company's earnestness and it is probable that
the negotiations will be completed in Il few days.
The company represents n capital of over Sl0,-
100000, and the individual members are distin-
guished for business enterprise and irreproaoh-
able integrity OF character.
