Rev. A. J. Palmer's illusions to the recent
trouble of Gen. Grant called forth from the

said the General, as he stepped forward with

everywhere. They wrote letters and for
warded dying mementoes to loved ones at
home under my own eyes, and they nursed
souls as well as bodies. An hour ago ex-

things, but under the circumstances (the al
fusion to his private affairs) do it with diff

Barrels OF Gold,

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. A Bar Habor spe.
cial says: William II. Chadwick Cashier of
the Pacific Bank here, has lately been making
large purchases Of land in different parts of
the island. The bank directors called q
meeting and questioned him in regard to the
purchases. He asked them If his accounts
were not correct They were compelled to
acknowledge that they found them so after
the closest scrutiny. He said he thought his
purchases did not concern them. 1t has
leaked out that Chadwick discovered some
time since, in the cellar Of his own house
barrels of gold and silver under an old stone
floor. He refuses to give any information,
but the story is believed to have some found
alton, from the fact that members of his fam
lily have exhibited rare and curious gold
coins.

PHENOMENAL SCORES.
Riaemen Making Bulls Eyes by BribinE the
Markers.

New YORK, July 31.-The Suns speci al
London cablegram says: Bremen and Hano-
yer are agitated by the greatest scandal that
ever disgraced their sporting annals. In the
recent Bremen rife contests the principal
prizes were won by Wangersheim, resident
OF Hamburg, and Winter, an American.
The wonderful regularity with which these
gentlemen made bulls eye scores astonished
the native marksmen, who had never wit
messed such marvellous shooting. The stran-
gers were envied and feted like heroes and
coaxed TO make grand tour of the different
prize meetings. They attended the rife
competitions al Hanover on Saturday and
there maintained their reputation as phe-
nomenal ma'ksmen BY taking most Of the
principal prixas. The scores made on Satur-
day were so extraordinary IS to raise suspi-
cion among some defeated contestants, and
IN investigation was made. This has Just
resulted In the discovery that the big records
Of both were obtained by collision with the
targetmen, who had been bribed to assure
certain Of the prizes to the adventures.
Wangersheim and bis targetmen have been
arrested, and will be placed on trial for
fraudulent practices. .ss

WAR RETwEEN FRANCE AND CHINA.
Foreigners Fleeing From Foo choo.

LONDON, Aug 1.-The war cloud in China,
according to advices received from Foo Choo
and other correspondents, assumed very
threatening appearance to-day. The time
which France gave China to pay the indem
nifty Of 100000 taels or $3.50 900, expired
to-day, and 1t is expected that France will
Immediately take active steps to enforce her
demands by war.
The position of the French residents in
China, in case Of war actually breaking out,
Is likely to be perilous. The Chinese have
never been noted for scrupulousness during
hostilities, and it is regarded as quite posi-
BILE that other foreign powers may be called
upon to protect the rights of their subjects.
The news of the wariike preparations at
Foo Choo created sensation here, and fur
Their developments are anxiously awaited.
1t may be regarded as certain that the war
will not break out without Englands inter
vention to protect her interests.
LONDON, Aug. IA dispatch to-day from
Foo Choo to Reuter- asserts that the general
impression in that city is that war between
France and China is inevitable. Both ma
tives and foreigners are leaving the city. The
marines landed from the British corvette,
Champion, assisted by the gunbost, Merlin,
are guarding the foreign settlement.
LONDON, Aug. 1.-The STANDARD says:
We are in a position to state that negotia
tions between France and China were bro
ken off Sunday.
The Times publishes dispatch from Foo
Choo, which says: Foo Choo is quieter.
China offered to pay an indemnity of 500 900
taels about $1,000, 900, which Patenotre, the
French Minister, refused. Twelve Chinese
gunboats are placed in position at Foo Chloe.
Admiral Courbet Is in furious state of mind
and has done his utmost to provoke war.

A Democratic Paradise.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug. 4.--There Is no
opposition whatever to the Democrats on the
State ticket, and very little of party char
acter III any county contests. In conse-
quence there was no excitement except
where the candidates we're running in coun-
ties that made no nominations, and these
were many. The local issues of the Demo-
Gratis brought out fair vote. The hottest
vote was 10 Mobile, between the Democratic
nominees and an Independent ticket; and in
Birmingham, between the d ,mocrats and a
combination of Republicans and Greenback-
ers. These two points were the battle
ground Of the State. Not half dozen Re-
publican legislative candidates were running
in the State. The vote in this city was
about SOCIAL Democratic. There was no
opposition.

A Terrific Prairie Fire

SALT LAKE, July 31.--The lava fields
north Of Snake river, toward Shoshone, are
on IRE, and passengers from there report
that thousands and thousands Of acres have
been burned over, and the fire Is threatening
to destroy the great river range Of Idaho.
The IRE Is said to be the consequence Of
growing feud between ranchers and stock
raisers, which led the latter to fire the sage
brush and the unusually heavy grass of this
year, which had got pretty we'll dried on the
ground. This was expected to keep the
stockmeD from encroaching on the range of
the ranchers.

THE Regulators in the extreme northeast

horse thieves by the dozen. The robbers
were organized, daring and desperate, and
no mans property or life was safe on that
sparsey settled frontier. The officers eff the

The citizens took the matter in their own
hands. They are doing good, honest, dura-
BILE work. That frontier will be healthy for
many years after the labors of the cowboy

THE glorious uncertainties of law are
peculiar. Howard, who was found guilty in
Portland of larceny for appropriating Smiths
money, deposited In hotel safe, was granted
new trial because the baliff left the jury
long enough to 60 and inform the judge they
had agreed on q verdict. Smith brooded
over his troubles and committed suicide. On
the second trial a stenographic report of
Smiths testimony was admitted in evidence.
Howard's lawyer took exceptions on the con-
stItutional ground that every accused person
must be confronted with the witnesses
against him, and the fiual decision In the
whole matter will no doubt be that Howard,
hotel keeper In Portland, robbed man of
$4,000 and drove him TO suicide in perfectly
legal manner. A few such cases as those
which led to the Cincinnati riot and as the

rs "The New York Sun cholera medicine"
has stood the test of experience as the best
remedy for looseness Of the bowels ever yet
devised. As was once vouched for by the

who has this by him and takes it in time
will ever have the cholera" Even when no
cholera is anticipate it is an excellent thing
for the ordinary summer complaints, collie,

hesitation in commencing It. Here 1t Is:
Take equal parts of tincture of cayenne,
