In the Field.
Tokar is hotly pressed by the rebels, who
have turned against the town a number Of
krupp guns recently captured from the Egyp-
tans. The hussars have started for Suakin.
The Porte will send 10000 men to Jeddah, in
Arabia, to be kept in readiness for service in
the Soudan in case they are needed. The
rebels fired on the forts at Suakin, but soon
retired. Some Of the shots reached the mill
tary headquarters, and Baker Pasha had q
narrow escape. The London Standards Cairo
c respondent says there is the best reason to
believe that the disbandment Of the Egyptian
army is virtually settled. A few Egyptian
soldiers presented to the Khedive an address
protesting against the dispatch of Egyptians to
the Soudan, and demanding the removal of
the British military officers. Gen. Sir Evelyn
Wood was Immediately summoned to the
palace, and on his arrival he confronted the
mutincers, who were arrested. 1t is the gen.
eral opinion that the Egyptian army ought to
be disbanded, as it is useless and dangerous.
The scouts sent from Trinkitat toward Tokar
report tina Osman Digma, the rebel leader, is
from the coast at the spot where he defeated
Tahir Pasha and Col. Moncrief. 1t is sup

New York's Central Park.

One of the chief glories of New York,
says letter to the New Orleans Times
Democrat, is its justly famed Central
Park. A description of it in type
would fail utterly to depict it so that
the reader could thoroughly realize the
picture. Its principal beauty to me is
its happy, though artificial, adaptation
to natures simplest, yet most pleasing
laws of landscape gardening, and
thereby its delightful contrast to the
artificiality of the great city that
surges up all around it, but whose de-
vouring wave is stayed by the slight
wave of verdure which enriches the
wide domain. 1t is truly peoples
park. The rich ride in it and drive in
it. The poor walk in it, and stroll in
it, and sit in it, and play in it, and lie
in it. BY tens of thousands they are
there on bright days. Their little ones
fairly revel in it. 1t is new life, re-
newed weekly, to the myriad of hewers
of wood and drawers of water. The
squirrels, the sparrows, the ducks, the
swans delight in it. Even those cynics,
the newspaper men, take pleasure in
it. Yea, verify! And when you stand
on the lofty, rocky elevation in the
center of the park, whence the vision
sweeps the horizon, with the great
city's roofs and towers stretching
miles on miles in all directions, and the
sun going down to his rest, casts
golden CLEANS over the wide sea of
dells and hillocks, and trees and grass
and rivulets and lakes at your feet, a
glow of generous feeling fills the breast;
feeling of admiration and respect for
, the philanthropic men who presented
this noble gift to their fellow-mon for
all time and for all men.

Canine Dudes.

There is a most excellent lady in
Chicago who has fifty-three dogs. not
counting two temporarily absent on
scouting expedition. This lady Is
well known in society circles, is a
woman of means, and has an elegant
home. She has a great love for dogs,
and, beginning her collection some
years ago with two fine st. Demands,
she has one way and another increas-
ed it until there is now llfty-three
dogs, big and little, in her establish
ment. They are not allowed to eat
meat, but are treated frequently to an
oyster soup, poached eggs, batter cakes,
oatmeal, etc. Their meals are prepar-
ed with as much care as to cleanliness
and form as though they were human
beings, and the food is served as nicely
as for invited guests. Ten gallons of
milk and twenty pounds Of oatmeal
are fed to the dogs daily. to say moth
ing Of the great quantities of oysters
and eggs, When the dogs are sick
they receive the most considerable at
tention. and at no time are they sub

JUSTICE PURSUING


The recent dismissal of Two cases for robbery
against Frank James, thus vacating oil the
indictments against him in Missouri, may make
it possible to take James to Minnesota and to
justice. He was indicted during the latter part
Of last summer by the grand jury of Rice
county, for the Mortified murder. The county
attorney procured a requisition from Gov. Hub
bard, and called upon Gov. Crittenden, who
declined to give the criminal up until he had
been tried upon all the Missouri indictments
No steps have been taken as yet to prosecute
the charges against him in Mimi, although
the requistlon still holds. The relatives of E.
II. Hayward, cashier of the Mortified bank
who was killed in the raid by the James boys,
got the indictment found last summer, and
expresses determination to prosecute Frank
James il it becomes possible.

Timely Suggestions About Pneumonia.
This is the Time of year when SO many per-
sons fall victims to pneumonia and other
lung diseases. Hence, we call attention to
the following interview with prominent
physician:
"What is pneumonia ?"
Pneumonia Is an acute lung disease, and
commences with severe chill and fever. 1t
seems to be an affection of the lungs, but it
is really caused by the blood being impover-
ished by the non-removal of natural acids by
the liver and kidneys. Pneumonia is always
proof of diseased kidneys and liver. Indeed,
this is true of many other lung disorders
also.
pneumonia is very dangerous disease and
the patient must be treated with hot drinks,
and the chest be covered with mustard poul-
tees, and then call the best physician.
"How would you prevent such diseasesm
"By keeping the skin. liver, bowels and
kidneys in healthful activity. Then the blood
is free from acid poisons and pneumonia
need not be feared.n For this purpose we
know of nothing better than DR.. David Ken
nedy's Favorte Remedy, which is a highly
repnted specific for all liver, kidney, bowel
and blood disorders. 1t is made, we believe
OF Rondout, N. Y, sells for one dollar bot
tie, and is the best and surest Of all house

Pneumonia is very common and fatal, and
whatever will prevent its ravages is worthy
the highest commendation.- Albany Evening

Where to See the Great Tr0tters OF
New York.
[Cincinnati Times-Star.]


No two men in America have had
more experience with fine trottiug stock,
and none are better judges than Calvin
NJ. Priest, OF the New York Club Stables,
28th street. near Fifth avenue, and Dan
Mace, of the Excelsior Stables, West Goth
street, New York, the champion double
team driver of the United States. Both
of these gentlemen say, that for painful
ailments in horses, such as cuts, bruises,
swellings, lameness. stiffness, ST. Jacobs
Oil Is superior to anything they have ever
nsed or heard of. This is also the opin-
ion of Prof. David Robarge, the cele.
brated horse.shoer of the metropolis, and
thousands of stock-owners throughout
the country. AS pain-cure for man
and beast st. Jacobs Oil has no equal.
Mr.. Priest recites the case of valuable
trotter, so stiff from rheumatism, that he
could not move an inch. By one
thorough application of St. Jacobs OH at
night, the animal was completely cured,
and was fit for the race-track the next
