A Modern Comedy of Errors.


A remarkable story comes from st.
Helen, which is well vouched for, says
the Portland Oregonian. About six
months ago twin brothers-Alfred and
Henry Grove arrived from Kanas and
settled near st Helen. There was a
very strong resemblance between them,
in fact so strong that intimate friends
could scarcely tell one from the other.
Henry was married, but his wife was
living in Kansas. He soon made the
acquaintance of the family Of John
Avery, living near, including their
daughter, Lottie Avery, aged 49,
One night about five weeks ago In jest
he asked her to become his wife, and,
to his utter surprise, she accepted, in
forming her mother immediately
The mother, in practical way,
broached the subject OF the date OF the
marriage, ETC., and before Grove could
recover from his surprise the details
had been arranged. He Immediately
went to his brother Alfred, told the
story and asked for advice. Alfred
volunteered to personate the brother
and stand for him. The ceremony
took place Oct. 81, the couple remain
ed at the home of the brides parents.
Alfred fell in love with the girl, and a
week after the marriage told of the
deception. In her indignation she
ordered him from the house. She
then informed her parents, and the
father started after the son-in-law with
shotgun, and has followed Alfred
to this city, where he is supposed tc
have fled.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, d. c., April 10, 'S4,

From this standpoint, the portentous
Arthur boom appears to be assuming
the character Of Blaine stampede Of
very considerable proportions, partl-
cularly in the Presidents own State
where the whole stalwart army seems
to have broken ranks and completely
forsaken their old commander. In the
New York deal the President finds his
most discomlorting surprise, because
he had counted upon the aid of u class
of men in nearly every Congressional
district, whose lives had been devoted,
as his own has been, to the manipula-
ton of the machine politics of the State.
But there was ex-Gov. Cornell with
his sores of 1881 still unhealed, and
there was Mr., Conkling, who is out of
politics only in the sense ofrepaying old
scores, and whose hand is seen in all
of this auti-Arthur work, and there
was, above all, the apprehension among
the leadc@ Of the party that the Demo-
Gratis could not nominate candidate
who would not only put New York in
the Democratic column next fall us
against Arthur. That Arthur has
been unfortunate in the distribution Of
patronage in New York, goes without
saying. His appointces in New York
city were selected for him simply from
the want of courage to select them for
himself. The result was class Of
officials that care as little for Mr..
Arthur's prcferment now, as he cared
for them when he was anxious to give
their places to those in whom he had
confidence. Upon the idea that hon
est men get their dues when rogues fall
out, the disturbances in this once hap
py Republican family will as surely
give the Empire state to the Demo.
cracy next fall, as that Vermont will
go the other way.
Mr.. Morrison has got his tariff bill
before the House and in Committee of
the Whole, in spite Of the predictions
of his failure. His opening speech
was u sound, common-Sense prcsenta-
tlon of its leading features, spiced with
some historical data touching the man
ner in which tariff commission and
tariff measures in past Congresses had
been secured in the interest of the
manufacturers and capitalists of the
country. An analysis of the vote by
which the bill was taken up for con-
sideration, develoves pretty strong
indication that the contest over it will
be both long and exciting. 1t is known
that while quite a number of Demo-
Gratis who voted to take up the bill will
finally vote against it, there are also
number of the SO Democrats who
voted againsts its consideration will
ultimately record their votes for it.

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.. LELAND's lN,m
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state of his blood, All ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. lIor-
rble itching Of the skin, with burning and
darting pains through the lump, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
disclarging great quantities of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was Of any
avail until the man, BY Mr. LELAND's direc-
ton, was supplied with AYERS SARsArA-
RILLA, which allaycl the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb to use.
