Ayers Sarsaparilla.

Since then Mr.. LELAND has recommended
AYERS SARsAPARILLA in many similar
cases, and he has never yet heard of its fail
ure to effect radical cure.
Some years ago one of Mr., LELASD's farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor-
rible itching of the skin, with burning and
darting pains through tho lump, made life
almost intolerablc. The leg became enor-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
dscharging great quantities of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was of any
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELASD's direc-
tion, was supplied with AyER's SARsAPA-
RILLA, which allaycd the pain and irritation,
healed tho sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb to use.

New Jersey Divorce.

TRENTON, Y. j., June 19.-New Jersey is
noted for the strictneSs of its divorce laws,
and any decision bearing on the divorce laws
is looked for with interest. A case little
out Of the ordinary was decided byNice
Chancellor Bird. The applicant was the
husband The case is recorded III the cOuY
as Ham against Ham. The couple wers
married IN 1S15,.he being widower apd
she widow. In 1879 the wife returned to
her own farm in Missouri. After waiting
several years for her return he Sued for di-
yOrce. In her answer opposing the
application the wife charged that
Iiann did not give her sufficient
help to do household work, all of which she
had to do herself, and that he called her the
worst devil he ever knew. Once lie burst
her bedroom door open. In summing up, the
Vice Chancellor says: I'm all this l find
nothing to fix the legal responsibility on the
husband for her leaving. The Jaw does not
accept of any of these excuses. Home may
be unpleasant, there may be unexpected
toll, there may be hardships too much for
weak or sensitive nature to bear. there may
be neglect that wounds deeper than a ser
pent's sting, there may he broken promises
that turn all the ardent love of early we'd
lock to unremitting hate, yet none nor all
of these are sufficient" Verdict for the
husband.

He Tells About q Big Fight Below Joe
Kipp's Place Between Cowboys and Cree
Indians.
FoRT MCLEOD, NORTHWEST TERRITORY,
June IS.-A South Piegan Indian named
Shorty, of the Indian police, arrived in
search of horse stolen by the North
Piegans. He brought in the news that
there had been big fight below Joe kipp ;
place on the MariaS, between cowboys and
Cree Indians. with fatal results. The cow
boys were on the roundup when they came
to party OF five Cree Indians butchering 4
COW. As soon as they saw the cowboys four
of the Indians ran away, but one, bolder
than the rest, walked toward them. One OF
the cowboys went out from the rest to
meet this Indian and when he got near
enough pulled his SiX-ShOoter and fired at
him. The Indian was hit pretty badly and
dropped. He then raised himself to sit
ting position and fired at the cowboy,
whom he hit in the breast. The cowboy
was fatally wounded. but while dying put
four or five shots into the Cree, who was
killed. The cowboy died soon after. The
other cowboys. vino had been watching the
fight in the distance, now took after the
other four Indians. and lively encounter
took place The Indians took refuge in 4
coolie, and threw up breastworks. The
cowboys tried to storm their position, but
the Indians were too well protected, and
stood them off. They finally got away.

CAPITAL NOTES.

That Mysterious ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
uIent Land ClaIms-A New Pacific Rail-
road.
WASHINGTON, June 17.-Secretary Ere
Iinghuysen has communicated with Governor
Curtin, Chairman of the House Foreign Al
fairs Committee, concerning the mysterious
Senate amendment to the Consular and Dip
lOmatic Appropriation bill, appropriating
$3.50, 900 to carry out the provisions OF the
Neutrality act, and an arrangement has
been made by Curtin and Randall for
Joint session of the House Foreign Affairs
and Appropriation Committees to be held
Wednesday morning, to consider what
action should be taken in the matter by the
House. The question to be discussed Is
whether the finding Of the appropriation
was a proper one; whether they should
simply recommend concurrence in the House
calling upon the Secretary Of State for all
correspondence relating to the matter and
give it to the public that they may under
stand the transaction. 1t is thought the
latter course will be followed.
FRAUDULENT CLAIMS ON HOREIGH Gov
ERNMENTs.
The bill introduced by Mr.. DeuSter to pre-
vent and punish the prosecution under the
protection of the United States of fraudu
lent claims against foreign governments.
provides a penalty of a fine and imprisOn
ment similar to that prescribed by the re-
vised statutes for making and presenting
| fraudulent claims against tie United States.
| 1t also authorizes the President in case it
shall appear to him claim which has been
allowed is based upon fraud to withhold the
payment of the proceeds and return the
| fha xyh
been collected, unless the claimant shall
| either remove the suspicion of fraud OF
| consent to recall the claim. The bill is in.
tended to avoid difficulties Snch as have
arisen through claims against Venezuela and
| Mexico and to prevent future speculation III

ESQuimau Dogs.

When at Fort Albany we saw several
Esquimau dogs, species of canine un-
Known in civilized communities. These
dogs are very large, larger than OuI
Newfoundland. and much stronger
when in condition. Their strength,
however varies. In the winter. when
they are well ted for driving, they are
much stouter and stronger tnan in sum-
mer. when they are poorly fed, without
! exercise. and languid from the heat,
which is very telling upon them, as
| their native climate far to the north Is
/ invariably severe. Their c,lors are
white AMI yelow-while impure breeds
are white and black the hair thick and
bushy. anG the tail long, bushy and
; curling up at the end. At times they
are Very quiet. At others very savage.
| They are driven ordinarily five in num-
| Der, but often many more, before SledS,
/ one, invariably female leading.
/ for the others will follow her
more readily. Each dog has a
separate rem, which is held by the
driver, who has also a great long whip
made of sealShin. plated aS ordinary
whips. but with the heavy part Of the
lash about the thickness of a mans
wrist. The lash is from six 10 nine
fathoms long, and the handle made
/ of wOod-from foo. to foot and
a-half in length. When 4 dog is not
| drawing properly or nsbehaving in
any way he or she is drawn by his sepa-
rate rein out OF the rest of the pack to
receive chaSti>ement with. the whip.
and so we'll do they know what is COM
| inc that just as soon as the rein is pulled
| the victim EeSinS yclping and strug-
Cling TO correct his or her ways before
! the whip comes laundering along.
Great skill is required in the use oi
these whips. for if not properly handled
| the great heavy lash cracks around the
manipulator' body and legs, inilictino
very painful and sometimes severe
wounds. But in the hands of person
skilled in the Use OF them these whips
can be used with great precision and
effect. sometimes completely cutting a
dogs ear OF.
Very remarkable stories are told
maux handle their whips. but are,
imagine, slightly exaggerated. Il is
said that they have frequently attacked
and killed white bears. the most ferO-
cious animals in the vicinity of James
Bay. with Il knife attached TO the end
of Il whip. One OF our party 'tried
/ his hand" with one of these dog
whips. and succeeded in furnishing his
legs rather severely, while a Hudson
Bay company'> officer used it with a-
much ease and precision Is 4 horseman

Some Esquimaux dogs at Fort Albaay
had TO be tied Il long distance apart
with long chains, while who fish We're
thrown to them, which they'd drvour
with a suddenness which was astoniSn-
inm. lest in their greed they'd turn
upon each other. They are quite un-
mana ccable when they get on the track

TNEASINESS IN CANADA.
Divorced From Her Step Father.

MHwAUKEE, June IA divorce IN a
strange case was granted by Judge Mann in
the County court to-day. The case was
that of Louisa BuSelman against Martin
BliSelman. The plaintiff alleged that
she WAS married to the defendant
June IL. 1SSO, by Justice Liver. One
child, girl about three years old, has been
born to them. The plaintiff is twenty-One
years old. and the defendant fifty-five years
of age. The sensational feature of the case
was not contained in the pleadings, how
ever, and quite a commOtion was caused in
the court room when the plaintiff, herself
cOmely young woman, with handsome brown
ewes and a face that wore traces of care
and i'll usage took the stand. and testified
that the defendant, her husband, was also
her step-fathcr. Her story was that her
mother had married the defendant and after
ward obtained divorce from him: but adj
vised and compelled the plaintiff, who is
her own daughter, and the defendants step
daughter, to marry the latter.
