Question Your Druggist

and he will tell you that there is greater
demand for SOZODONTt than for any other
preparation for the teeth. Then ask your
self whether an article for which the de-
msnd is general and constant, must not
possess genuine merit. The mental re-
Spouse will be that it does. since the con-
clusion Is irresistible, that If il did not
really polish and preserve the teeth, dis
corning public would long since have dis

Fighting in the Soudan.
BRITISH TROOPS GAIN ANOTHER VICTORY.

On last Thursday morning, Osman Digna
was attacked in his position few mileswest
of Suakim by Gen. Graham, who, after four
hours hard fighting, was able to indite
dispatch from 1.-THE camp of the enemy" to
the war office announcing complete vic
tory. The rebels were not lacking in cour-
age, but, under the destructive fire of mod
ern artillery and weapons of precision, were
soon ousted from their trenches and routed.
Gen. Graham telegraphs that five officers
and SO meu were killed, and eight officers
and 1903 men wounded. Nineteen men are
missing. The rebels numbered from 1O,O0O
to 10, 600. Three officers and seven men OF
the naval brigade were killed at the guns.
Over 2, 900 rebols were killed. The rebels
charged regardless of their great loss. They
left 600 dead at one point of the square.
During the confusion which ensued when
the Arabs made their wild rush upon the
British lines and caused them to retreat, the
newspaper reporters and other non-com-
batants took part iu the fray and used their
revolyers freely and with deadly effect a.
oainst the enemy. After the battle Osman'
camp and three villages were burned
Among the trophies Osman's standard was
taken and Tewfik Bey's was recaptured.
The Arabs retired before the Engllsh
slowly and sullenly. They were defeated,
but not put to rout. They walked away as
if sauntering through bazaar, with ar arms
folded or swinging at their sides. Ihey
! were often shot down, but thissdld not
hasten their companions speed.
II was impossible to take prisoners. The
wounded Arabs would lie motionless, with
ont uttering single cry or moan, and
watch their chance to stab the advancing
British with knife or spear. The victors
walked among the wounded as among so
many vipers.

CONVICT LABOR ON COUNTY ROADS, sc.

Senate
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of
Virginia, That the supervisors of the re-
spective counties, and the councils Of the
several cities and towns of the Common
wealth be, and are hereby authorized at
any time, after the passage of this act, to
make requisition upon the Governor for
able-bodied convicts in the penitentiary, at
the time of the requisition, not from their
respective counties or cities, to be used to
work upon the public roads in said coun-
ties, and streets and avenues of said cities.
Any county, city, or town, not wanting its
convicts, shall be and is empowered to
transfer them to any other county, city, or
town. The counties, cities, or towns, thus
employing this convict labor shall maintain,
clothe, and provide for all convicts in their
employment, and for each escaped convict
shall pay into the State treasury the sum of
two hundred dollars. The board of any
county, and the council of any city or town,
shall be furnished any number of convicts,
not exceeding fifty, who are not employed
as provided in this act by the counties from
which they are sentenced. Provided that
this act shall not apply to the cities of
Richmond and Petersburg.
This act shall be in force from its pas

GREAT REMEDY.

This is the season in which these celebra-
ted Bitters are mostly sought after, and pos
sessing as they do worldwide fame. 1t Is
hardly necessary TO impress upon the mind OF
the invalid their inestimable virtues. We
have, in our social intercourse, heard but one
expression in their favor, and that is, when
ever used they act like a charm, and prove
more efficacious than any medicine that has
ever been offered to the public. The maker
of these Bitters uses no highly-wrought pane
gyrics or flaming hand-bills to further the
sale of his Bitters, but simply throwing the
article on its own merits, to be judged accord-
ingly. He does not, like all the quack stun
now in use say that it will cure all the ills COM

ton that whenever taken according 10 d1rec-
