mcut of the stomach, bowels, and liver.

cure the diseases caused by their derange-
ment, including Constipation, Indiges-
tiOn, Dyspepsia, Headache. Dysentery,
and n host of other ailments for all Of
which they are a safe, sure, prompt and
pleasant remedy. The extensive use Of these
PILLS by eminent physicians Ia regular prac-
ticc, shows Enthusiastically tue estimation in
which they ARE held by the medical proies-
sion.
These PILLS are compounded Of vegetable
substances only, and are absolutely free from
calonel or any other injurious ingredient.
A sufferer from Headache writes:
LAYERS PILLS are invaluable to me, and
are my constant companion. | have been
a severe sufferer from Headache, and your

that name to the iron-shod wood-sled OF
the Grisons peasants, with which they
amuse themselves in sliding down the
winding paths of the mountains. But
their sled is small, and has none OF the
social accomplishments of the Canadian
toboggan. Sliding down a course OF
two miles may be very delightful, but
six minutes of pleasure has to be bought
with an amount of uphill work that is
not likely to arouse general enthusiasm.
However, an international toboggan
race " cannot fail to make the sport at
tractive; and that is what recently took
place in the Swiss Highlands, upon the
road leading from Darros down to Klos-
tiers. To the Canadian, one slide of two
miles in six minutes and half is hardly
so fascinating as a dozen of a quarter of
mile in twenty seconds. Still, there
is certain thrilling adventure in Alpine
coasting that ought to appeal to the dar-
ing spirit of the Canadian tobogganer;
and it will be no surprise if the Indian
sled is soon found supplanting that OF
the coasting enthusiasts among the
Swiss Highlands.

TNFERNAL MACHTNES.

The internal machines used by the
dynamiters of England do not present
the CHASTITY spectacle to superficial view
that should go with such death-dealing
implements. One of the affairs was
found in railway station the other day.
There was an ordinary portmanteau to
begin with, thing from which the most
timid would have apprehended no dan
ger. Being opened it was found to con-
tain common black japanned tin cash
box. This was carefully opened. In
side was small American metal clock;
firmly attached to the clock was little
pistol, the whole being packed close
with dynamite. The pistol pointed to
about ten decorators, which would have
been exploded by the discharge of the
pistol. There were some sorty cakes OF
dynamite, thin cakes of yellowish tint,
looking like soap, the aggregate weight
of the affair being twenty-one pounds.
Fortunately the clock had stopped. This
interesting continuance had been left in
the cloak-room at Fulham Station, at
the lower end of Q Gve-story building, at
a time of day when travel and business
was greatest, as the express traits start
ing are usually crowded With passengers.

The Death Pit in West Virginia to be
Filled with Water.
PITTsBURG, March 22.-Wm. Duhring,
q prominent oil operator and one of the
stockholders of the Pocahontas Coal
Mine in West Virginia, in which 1853
miners recently lost their lives in an ex-
plosions has hit upon a novel plan to
ext1n!gulsh the fire, which is still raging.
bis idea is to have the engineer locate
five of the nine chambers, and then
drive wells or holes through the
top of the mountain, an estimated
distance Of 500 feet. Through the open
lngs thus made it is proposed to intro
duce streams Of water until the entire
mine is flooded and the flames quenched.
A gang left yesterday who will apply
the oil methods of digging wells.
Within week the drills viii be in op-
GRAFTON, but it will be fully two months
ere the mine will be flooded. Mr..
Duhring says the cause of the explosion
is still q mystery.

MURDER WILL OUT.

An extraordinary story comes from
Dayton, O. According to the story OF
Charles Kett, of that city, his mother,
who died few weeks ago, informed him
on her death bed that she slew her
daughter, young lady of Is, III mo-
ment of violent rage, the 18th of Janu-
airy, 1867. The fatal blow was struck
with an ax-helve, but the murderess
6ried to make it appear that the young
lady shot herself. Some powder was
burned near the face of the unfortunate
girl and her brothers pistol was placed
near the body. For years after the
tragedy Mrs. Kett suffered intense men
tai agony. She wandered about from
place to place, but could find no peace.
She had, as she said, in her dying con-
fession, constantly before her the fright
ened face of her dead daughter. Several
persons, including brother and lover,
were arrested soon after the murder for
completely in the crime, and detained in
custody for a considerable time. The
revelations of Kett have created quite a
sensation.

THE CZAR'S RECEIPTS.

II the Russian emperor's income from
his vast possessions were at all proper
tionate to their extent, what rich man
indeed he wonld be! The Altai estates
alone cover an area equal to that of Cen
tral America, or nearly twenty times the
size of Massachusetts,, and enclose 7alu-
able mines of gold, silver, copper and
iron. The Nertchinsk estates, in East
ern Siberia, are almost twice as large as
New York state. And yet the Cars
receipts from both these sources in 1882
only amounted to $475, 900, and last
year to only half this sum. The mines
can no longer have smelling works and
wood supply within easy access; they
are no longer penal settlements, or
worked by young men seeking exemp-
ton from military service; the abolition
of serfdom has changed the conditions
of profitable mining. The Gar might
well invest some of his past earnings in
securing improved machinery and en-
cheering skill. Perhaps there are many
of those disturbers of his comfort and
happiness at home who need such an
opening as this to change the current OF
their anita Gar tendencies.

NEW ORLEANS PROGRESS.

The New Orleans of to-day is de-
sc ibed as more loosely governed and
more utterly regardless of justice than
any other city in the Union. Nearly
half of its $50, 900 inhabitants are ne
groes, and of the remaining a majority
are of the creole type in its various So
cial strata. These people are opposed to
progress in any way, and to oppose
their downward tendency there are about
IS, 900 people who represent the upper
strata of metropolitan life. The one
hope is the coming exposition, which
which will be the first real opportunity
of the new Louisiana to strike hands with
the rest of the country, turn its back on
all its failures of the past, and begin to
make New Orleans the great metropolis
it NAV become,

MATERTOMFN. MR-
POLYGAMOUS INDIANS.

The BIackfeet Indians in Montana,
who are very good Mormons SO far as
polygamy is concerned, are said to be
abandoning that doctrine because game
has grown SO scarce that fewer wives are
needed to tan the hides and preserve the
meats, and therefore it doesn't pay to
keep so many. This suggests to an
Eastern contemporary the policy OF at
lacking polygamy in Utah by placing a
heavy tax on wives--not prohlbltory
duty, but vigorously dissuasive one,
with discretionary power on the part OF
the assessor to put each Mormon down
for as many as shall seem to him just
and reasonable, thus forcing the much
married saint to avoid unfair exactions
by showing that he is not as well fixed
in that respect as represented.

High Water in the Missouri.

midnight of the 21st, reports an ice gorge
twenty miles long. The river rose fifteen feet
and overlooked the lowlands, doing great dam

levee broke, the water running through to the
depth of fifteen feet. The Hewitt and Pleas
ant gap also broke, and the water reached
eighty-two feet. There is no hope for the crops
in the neighborhood of the breaks. New
Orleans dispatch of the same date says: ''There
are now ten crevasses on the west side of the
