Browns Iron Bitters is sim

preparation ever made; is
compounded on thoroughly
scientific, chemical and
medicinal principles, and
does just what is claimed for
it-no more and no less.
By thorough and rapid
assimilation with the blood,
it reaches every part of the

The following is an extract from 8 letter from General Graham's camp to the London Daily News: Next morning at daylight 8 rebel spy was caught just outside the lines. There are different versions of his story, but that which he has commnnicai ed to an Arab friend of mine, who has helped me to inves- tigste the matter, is as folIoRs: One of the two shells thrown by the Sphinx killed his father He vowef7 to avenge his death, and with the permission of the sheikh of his tribe he vent forth armed with shield and spear, across the Hhallows at midnight He was teId to take life for life if he could, but in any case to return with some account of the number and composition of the Egyptian force. He was discovered by 8 small party of Egyptians, some of whom fled. while their comrades, looking at the intruder. fired upon him and retired Charging with the spear the boy Che Is only 6 years oIdl wounded one of his assailants in the hand l: bat there were too many for him.

At the back is placed Q spray of crimson roses overshadowed by two dark green ostrich tips. The green velvet strings are lined with pale gold satin and edged with gold lace.

tion. ''How many have you in your sncamp- ment?" was asked, but Omar-that Was the boys name-replied that he would rather have his tongue cut out than give the infor- nation. The reader will appreciate Omar's courage if he will bear in mind that the pris- oner, naturally judging from the practice of the savage life, which is the only life he knows. must have expected not merely death,
 but torture, as the sequel to his obstinRcy. He believes his wounds are mortal, but this alone does not trouble him much, for he tells us that Osman Digna promised him comfort- able quarters in paradise. What does trouble him is the prospect of entering paradise without the prestige of a msn-killer and the savage young beast has had tEe audacity to request, as 8 personal favor, that before breathing his last he should be permitted to wash his spear in the blood of some Egyptian ''pig" ''Then," said Omar, after a pause, 1T shall die happy" His prayer has not been granted and Omar still iveS.

The stamp tax which has been imposed by the Mexican government is very unpopular, and no wonder. The tax requires every merchant to put one per cent. stamp on jewelry. fifty per cent. on playing cards, one per cent on boots, shoes hats, hardware and canned goods. from five to twenty cents bottle on beer and wines, and 50 on. All goods included in the stamp class which are in stores are required to be stamped imme- diately; those in warehouses have month to pay the tax.

The native magistrates, or mudirs, as they
 are called in Egypt, are not very intelligent
 or just judges. The following incidents re- l garding two of them will give fair notion of l the whole. At two miles distance from 8 1 large town & man was murdered. The mudir having been informed of the occurrence re- marked: ''This man probably killed himself in order to get me into trouble At all events he cannot expect protection if living in so isolated 8 situation. Therefore destroy his house." and the order was executed. The province of another mudir was visited by the cattle plague. He himself lost twelve beasts. But he forbade the giving of infor- nation to the Government. The disease has since then devastated the province, the dis aster meaning ruin to the inhabitants.
 The story which is told of the way in which General Gordon chose his companion for the expedition to Khartoum is interesting. It is related that when General Gordon came be fore the cabinet and announced himself as ready to start for Khartoum at oncs, he was naturally asked whom he would like to have as his companion. He paused for moment in reflection and then said: ssThereis a man whom have met few times at the club; don't know his name, but he is the man I should like to take with me. If you will wait little will go and see if he can come" :" Thereupon General Gordon left his ministe- rial audience, drove in 8 hanson to the club, found his man in the smoking room, ex- plained his case, obtained his consent and was back at Downing street under the half hour. The man whom General Gordon with instinctive insight had chosen was Colo nel Stewart, who probably knows more of the East than any other officer in the army.
 The increase of grape culture and the de- velopment of the manufacture of grape wine in this country indicate that both will become very important industries in the mar future According to Mir. George E. Dewey, 8 well known native wine maker and dealer, the native wine product of California has in- creased in five years from 1000. 900 to 25, 900, GOO gallons. In New York, where five years ago there were 5000 acres planted in wine producing grapes, there are now about 15, GOO acres cultivated. In Ohio the increase in acreage has been about the same as in New York, and the total figures of the two States are also about the same. The Catawba coun- try has not increased so rapidly as either New York or California. New Jersey grape culture is at standstill for the present Native wines are now made of all brands, while few years ago the Catawba was the only native wine largely sold for table use. Now we have pure champagne, mellow port, dry and sweet sherry, and Bur gundy with body and flavor equal to the imported article.

The New Orleans Timss-Dsmocrat speaks heartily in defense of the Ievee system. It says the recent flood has so completely demonstrated the efficiency of the levess that the people of the Yazoo district, which has been without any continuous system of Ievees since 1872, have determined to reconstruct that entire system from Coahoma to Tsnnes- see this year. while the people of Louisiana are more than ever advocates of building these protecting dykes. There are in Louis jana subject to overflow over 13, 900 square miles, or Il, 800. 900 acres, containing three fourths of the population of the State. every acre of which landwould now. it is alleged, be under water, the crops utterly ruined, the property destroyed, and the people depcnd- ent on Federal charity, but for the protsc- ton of the levees.

the Ledger says:
''That is plain talk, as well as good advice
Too many Democrats were led astray by the
H. W. doube-leaded letters. Their author is
now going back on them-hedging, to use one
of his favorite expressions, borrowed from the
track, about which he knows much more than
he does about the tariff. Democrats in or out
of Congress simply act the fool in pressing the
tariff question to the front at all. There
would have been time enough when the party
came into power and became responsible. Now
it can only be agitation forthe sake of agitation
The Democratic party, the masses, are opposed
to that. Furthermore they are opposed, in or
out of power, to any radical policy relative to
the tariff. They would much prefer to treat
it as business rather than a political ques-
ton"
This is the voice of one crying in the viii
derness. The Democratic party, under its
present spirit and leadership, is going for free
trade like Maine went for Governor Kent.
If Democrats like the Ledger cannot stand it,
in the language of Commanding general Wat
terson, they SHOULD pack up and get out"
