CONSTIPATION!

There is no medium through which disease so often attacks the system as by Constipation, and there is no other ill flesh is heir to more apt to be neglected, from the fact material inconvenience may not be immediately felt from irregular ac- tion of the bowels. When there is not regular action the retention of decayed and effete matter, with it's poisonous gases, soon poisons the whole system by being absorbed into it, causing piles, fistula, headache, impure blood and many other serious affections. BURD0CK BLOOD BIT TIERS will immediately relieve, and one bottle positively cure or relieve any case of Constipation.
 "Was troubled for a year with torpid liver and indigestion, and after trying everything imaginable used BURD0CK BLOOD BITTERS. The first bottle revived me and the second cured me entirely."-J. s. Williamson. Rochester. N. Y.

The Emperor William is, it is said, grow ing very hard to manage. He has become very suspicious of everybody around him. and constantly exhibits childish eag srness to be before the public in imperial state and to perform royal duties. He has reigned long and well, but must soon meet that fate which even kings cannot escape.

That money does not always bring hsppi- ness is again illustrated by the suicide of Jo- seph Agate, the millionaire who killed him. self in New York city. He was rich in this worlds goods, and yet he shot himself, be- cause he had not had one hour of natural sleep in four months, could get no relief from medical treatment or change of scene and felt sure that ''it must end in madness or loss of mind and imbecility"

It seems odd that the great corn producing West should want corn from little Connecti- cut, and yet Hartford seedsman and dealer in agricultural implements has just shipped a carload of corn to Chicago. The severe frosts of last September so far destroyed the corn crop in portions of the northwest that very little was saved for seed, and in the emergency Illinois and it's neighbors turned their attention to New England.

To the query, ''Whas would the indepen- dent voters, who are so mighty particular in their choice of Presidential candidate, do ia case neither convention should nominate man up to their standard ?'' the Boston Herald pertinently replies: We'll, they might conclude to nominate 8 man of tk cir own, and stand up to bs counted. Or they might just stay at homo on election day, ss 100, 900 of them did in New York in 1882. How would the Republican candidate fare in the close States if the independents voters should take either course2 But such 6 contingency is improbable. If the Republicans shall, out of bull headed over-eonidencs, nominate Machine candidate, the Democrats would be sure to nominate their best man, to secure the independent vote.

A PRESENTATION.
J. C. Pratt handsomely Gained by an
Admircr.

On YESTERDAY J. &. Pratt wa the re-
cipicnt of an elegant gold-headed cane
presented to him by Mr.. John flames.
The presentation was made by Mr.. Eames
for the reason chat Pratt had succeeded
in preserving therights which Mr.. Eames
had acquired by possession and improve
ment to a valuable but small tract of land
southeast of the city which 'Uncle
John" has for years called his garden
spot. In disposing of the company's
land small tracts are not to be sold by
themselves when by 50 doing it would
prevent the making of a large sale. If
an opportunity is afforded of making a
very large sale of land small possessions
or tracts which are held within the scope
of the larger must give way. Where the
interests of the company conflict with the
claims of the small owners the Land agent
here must rcaard first the interests of the
company. All things being equal the
actual settler on the land, whether he
holds a large or small tract of
land, is to have the preference
and the first right to purchase.
This much has been stated partly as a
matter of general information, and partly
to explain why Uncle Johnnie" felt that
a great favor had been done him by Mr..
Pratt, who had this garden spot abso-
lutely excepted from the general rule
which gave Mr.. Eames the first privilege
of purchase which he gladly availed him
self of. The cane presented was a very
nice one with a gold head upon
which appears the following inscription:
-. G; Pratt, ESD, from John Eames,
was made at Mr.. Corlett's office in the
presence of a few spectators by Mr..
Eames. Mr.. Pratt made a suitable re-
Spouse thanking the donor for his kind
ness.

Banqueting Americans.

MEXICO, via Galveston, May l2.-Last
night a banquet was given by the City
Council to the directors of the Mexican
Central railway, presided over by Gull
lermo Vale, President Of the Council,
who congratulated the country on the
completion of the road. President Nick
erson was absent owing to illness, but his
speech was read in Spanish and English.
A member of the party from Boston, in
the name of his companions, proposed a
toast, 'Poririo Diaz, who, like Washing
ton, is first in the hearts of his country
men," President Diaz feelingly replied,
avowing his unworthiness, and said the
compliment was the greatest it was posi-
BILE to pay any man in any language, be-
u comparison was made with one who
was not only the most eminent American
citizen, but taken all in all, was the great
est man the world ever saw, He spoke of
his friendship for Americans and compar-
ed it in extent to the compliment paid to
him. He said also, he considered
that one of the greatest acts of his life was
the signing of the Mexican Central rail
road concession, and the completion of the
road had indicated his judgment. Ex-
Governor Rice and others spoke.

WASHINGTON, MAY 12.-Tuesday has
been set apart by the house for the dis
cussion of bills reported on by the COM
mittee on territories. The committee has
not yet decided upon the bills to be con
sidered. There are more than one hun
dred and sixty senate bills now upon the
house calendar in addition to the mass Of
original measures awaiting action of the
house, and for this reason the senate is
proceeding in a very leisurely manner
with everything but appropriation bills
and other house bills. There is little hope
of action by the house during the present
session upon any of the new senate bills
not of first importance.

The Lost Florida.

QUEBEo, May l2.-The bark Theresa
with the remainder of the survivors of the
steamship State of Florida, have arrived
and were taken in charge by the agent of
the steamer. They refuse to talk of the
accident. Officer Thompson is much de-
pressed. The seaman are less %reticent
thar the officers but are unable to throw
any light upon the cause of the accident,
having been abed when the vessels collid-
ed. They say they had small accommo-
dations and spare rations. Those saved
from the Ponema were Captain Hepburn,
Eli Rosa and Thomas Nicholson. The
name of those lost with the Ponema are
not known. The Ponema was bound
from Liverpool to Miramichi. The sailors
of the were secured Florida by the agent
and kept away from newspaper men and
seem impressed that Thompson was to
blame for the collision. One sailor of the
bark persisted from exposure in the boat.
Captain Hepburn lost everything. Nichol-
son was on the lookout at the time of the
collision and ascribes the fault of the disas-
ter to the steamer. All speak favorably
of officer Allen and that the City ofIRome
refused them assistance. She was so near
it was impossible not to have seen and
understood the signals. All corroborate
the bravery of Engineers Balm and An
derson and testify to the activity of the
second officer of the Florida who was lost.

The Methodist Conference.

PHILADELPHIA, May l2-In the Meth
odist conference Bishop Harris announced
that the bishops met Saturday in Bishop
Simpsons room to consider the questions
presented to the conference, and agreed
upon the following; In view of action of
YOU standing committees concerning the
establishment of two Episcopal residences
abroad, and of the discussion by the gen
eral conference, We are greatly embar-
raised in expressing our opinion relative
to the question, but yet feel it best to ex-
press our deliberate and unanimous judg-
ment that it is not wise to fix Episcopal
residences at this time in Europe, India,
Africa, or any of these countries, and if
so decided, this would not affect our opin-
ion hitherto expressed as to the number
of bishops to be elected by the conference.

PLUCKY MITCHELL.
Too Much for the Light
Weight Billy Edwards.
A Very Lively Knock Out
Match in New York.
Other Interesting Telegraphic
News Of the Day.
Mitchell neats Edwards.

New YORK, May l2.-There were prob
ably 5000 people in Madison Square
Gardea to witness the glove fight between
Charley Mitchell and Billy Edwards.
Edwards was loudly cheered us he scram-
bled through the ropes. He appeared to
be overturned. He was accompanied by
Arthur Chambers and his brother AIRY
Edwards. Mitchell was the picture Of
health and was in perfect condition. He
was ably seconded by Billy Madden,
and Bob Smith, referee. Mitchell is %
years old, weighs 1874 pounds and Strands
5 feet 81 inches. Edwards is 40 years
old, weighs 100 pounds, and stands
5 feet AZ inches. The men had never
seen each other before and when time was
called they faced each other like true
scientists. After preliminary sparring
Edwards led with a blow at Mitchelrs
body which did not have much effect. 1t
set the mob bowling, however. Edwards
hit again with his left but was stopped
and received a counter on his head that
made him turn. He danced off, Mitchell
following, and finally fell under the ropes
in his corner. While he was on his knees
Mitchell hit him twice and the crowd
yelled foul loudly and persistently.
Captain Williams appeared on the
scene and told Mitchell to go
his corner which Mitchell wa disinclined
to do and as Edwards came up to him
both put up their hands, but Captain
Williams insisted upon Il rest. During his
parley time was called. At the opening of
the second round Edwards hit a shot with
his left and Mitchell gave him "A right
handler which made Billy vince. Mitchell
followed this up with a crusher with his
right and Edwards went down under it.
Edwards received 4 couple additional
taps, going down each time but getting in
a good one on Mitchell forehead. After
this Edwards seemed to lose his grip and
Mitchell went for him right and left,
knocking him down four times within as
many minutes. After fourth Touchdown
Captain Williams again interposed and
separated the men in spite of the unwill-
ingness of Mitchell to obey orders.
When time was called for the third round
Edwards came up smiling but was very
draggy. He was promptly 1oored by
Mitchell with a right-hander. Mitchell
was preparing for another onslaught when
Edwards should get to his feet when
Captain Williams stopped the fight and
the match was declared a draw. Edwards
was completely used up and could scarce
ly stand. Mitchell showed great improve
ment in style since his last exhibition in
van again.

A Cut in Rates.

DENVER, May l2.-For several days
the passenger rates from Denver to the
Missouri river have been in a very unset
tied condition, but not until to-day has a
cut been openly declared. The agents of
the Burlington & Missouri, Union Pacific,
and Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, an
nounce a cut unprecedented in the history
of western roads, viz Five dollars to
Kansas City; st. Louis, eight dollars
and fifty cents; Chicago, fourteen dollars
and fifty cents; New York, twenty eight
dollars. In fact they are selling tickets to
any principal eastern point for the Kansas
City rate to that point, and as eastern
roads refuse a pro rata share on the cut,
the result is that the above named roads
are carrying through passengers free to
Kansas City. Pool Commissioner Daniels
to-day issued a circular ordering a restora-
ton of rates to take effect on the fifteenth
inst. This order will surely be ignored.
