A Remarkable Will.

From Paris Figaro.
An old French physician of st. Mande,
who had for years lived hermit's life,
died few days ago, and when the rela-
tions put in an appearance the following
will was found: 18th of January, 1882.
This is my will and testament. At the
present moment l consider myself bodily
healthy, but cannot swear that l am so
in mind. Such ridiculous presumption
| bequeath to others. My fortune
amounts to 10000 francs. How many
hypoeritical tears might | have pur-
chased for such sum. l intended at
first to devote these 10000 francs to a
benefcient object but l asked myself,
what would be the use Of this? The only
benefactors of mankind are war and
cholera. Besides this am under great
obligations to my dear wife, Celestine
Melanie, of whose whereabouts l have
not the slightest idea. She once did me
a great kindness. She left me one BEAU
tiful morning, and have never heard of
her since. With the most heartfelt
thankfulness appoint her my heir-in.

ton, that she marry again Immediately,
so that at least there may be one man
who will deeply deplore my DEATH"

In the eHrly part of the war there
were great many men who were
ready to volunteer advice to the Presi-
dent as to the conduct of The war, aud
also their services, pro, ided they could
be placed in positions of authority or
profit. In 1902, after the Indian out
break in Minnesota and Dakota, an
Indian agent came on to Washington
to volunteer his ser! ices to put it down.
He called on John Covode, of Penn
sylvania, and Senator Wade, of Ohio,
end 'he tier of this, and disclosed his
plan. 1t was for the President to au-
'horize this agent to raise bl gade of
cavalry, to be composed OF frontiers
men, to be commanded by this agent
as briSadier gene re-.
AN INDIAN AGENTS ADVICE.
The Indian campaigncr wanted a
separate and independent command, OF
which he was to have supreme control,
not only conducting operations in the
field, but also in the purchase of horses
and supplies for the brigade. reluct-
antly consented 10 go with the parties
above named 10 Mr.. Lincoln, erd there
l heard the proposition submitted to
him. This would-be brigadier said that
with such commend as he proposed
he could put down the outbreak and
restore quiet on the frontier in six
weeks that he could save the lives Of
hundreds of settlers in the West and
the Government millions of dollars
Such men as he proposed to enlist in
this service were alone competent tc
perform this important duty. And that
his own acquaintance with Indian char
aCter and habits would enable him to
do more prompt and successful work in
this particular field than any one that
could be sent there. Mr.. Lincoln list
ened patiently up to this time, but he
could stand it no longer. g." said
he, "since the We began l have re
ceived a great deal of advi from al
classes of men, and in the army great
promises have been made, and r:y ex-
perience and observation has been made
that those who promise the most dc

Mr.. Lincoln was a keen and accurate
Judge of character and could detect
fraud and imposture as redily as any
man | ever knew. He saw through this
fellow at once and that his object was
to make money out of this scheme. Il
was fortunate for the country that such
man was at the head in such a crisi:

The severest test for al the boys of

sentinel has as many points to learn as
a bunco steerer, and has got to have
his wits about him. Lieutenant Colonel
Palmer walked up to a sentinel the
other night and was halted. The SEN

Then Lieutenant Colonel Palmer asked
him If he knew him. He did.
"Let me see your rifle then," said
Lieutenant Colonel Palmer The I'M

"Ha7t! Who goes there?" said the
sentinel.
The officers said not a word, but

with his bayonet headed right for the
Chaplain's stomach. They didn't say
a word, but back the sentinel to the
edge of the bluff. He got desperate
and called for the corporal SO loudly

The officers halted and gave the coun

in His Loyalty?
Nelc York Letter to Chicago Tribune
Ex-senator Edward Larned, of Green
field, Mass, at one time president of the
Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, gives a
new version of the famous Douglas incl
dent of April, 1861. He was called to
Washington by telegram from Doug
las sent Immediately after the latter had
heard of Tie firing on Fort Sumter.
Douglas was sick with diphtLeria. His
physician, his wife and Catholic priest
were there. AS the doctor went away
he said to Douglas: Now, no talking
or excitement, Senator" But he was
no sooner gone than Douglas arose,
dressed himself, and began reading to
Larned, who had just arrived, long and
carefully written letter. He was dis
cussing its points when telegraph mes
sage was brought in. He read the mes
sage and Immediately began to use en-
phatic language in denunciation of the
Geographic system, and the liberties it
permitted to be taken with public mer.
Then he read the message aloud.
"Do you approve and sustain Lincoln's
war policy? Missouri will not"
81 said" recounts Mr.. Larned, that 81
would not answer such a despatch, and
he rejoined: ''This is the penalty for be-
ing public man. 1t is from the editor

OPIUM IN PERSIA.
Where the Worlds Supply of the Drr3 Is
Chiefly Raise.

Where the Worlds Supply of the Drr3 Is
Chiefly Raise.
From Harper'S Weekly.
Nine out of ten of the aged in Persia
take from one to five grains of opium
daily. During the cotton famine caused
by our civil war the attention of the
Persian ryot was turned to the cultiva-
ton of the cotton bush, but cotton soon
became hardly worth growing, save the
small amount required for home manu-
facture, and the villagers throughout the
centre and South gradually turned their
attention to the cultivation of the poppy.
In the neighborhood of Ispahan, as far
as the eye can reach, nothing but fields
of poppies are to be seen, with small
patch here and there of wheat or barley,
which the cultivator produces for his
own use or to give some rest to his land.
The white variety of the poppy is the
one that is grown. 1t is sown broadcast
and very thickly, and when it first comes
up resembles a very a5dnHeaaant crop of
dandelions. This redundance is soon
duced by the ryot, who, with short
curved knife, hacks away superfuous
plants till those that are left stand some
six inches from each other. The reduc-
ing process has to be gone through many
times and the ground kept clear of weeds
until the plant is six inches high. The
fields are also irrigated once week I'M
til the buds are about to burst into bloom.
And now that the peoples are in flower
and the petals are about to fall, the ryots,
under the direction of men from the
neighborhood of Yezd, who travel all
over Persia to superintend the gathering
of the crop and its subsequent prepara-
ton, begin to collect the opium from the
plant. This is done by scoring the seed
vessels with small tire bladed knife,
which makes three gashes an eighth of
an inch apart and three.quarters of an
inch long. The operation is performed
in the afternoon. From these the opium
eXudes in tears, which are collected at
early dawn by scraping with piece of
glass Or a knife. If unfortunately =
heavy shower of rain should fall, large
proportion or even all of the opium may
be lost. This gashing and scraping is
repeated second or even third time.
The peoples, after the opium is extracted,
are used as fodder.

CURE FOR PILES.

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense
of weight in the back, loins and lower part
of the abdomen, causing the patient to sup
pose he has SEINE affection of the kidneys or
neighboring organs. At times symptoms
of indigestion are present, As tiatulency, ur-
easineSs of the stomach, etc. A moisture,
like perspiration, producing very dis
agreeable itching, after getting warm, is a
common attendant. Blind, Bleeding and

This publication will bring England

Much has been said of late years of
the improper manner of appointments
to office by the Executive Department,
and reform in this regard has been
demanded, but | have often thought
that the course adopted by Mr.. Lincoln
was, perhaps, as wise as any that has
since his time been suggested. Amem-
Der of the House of Representatives
called upon him one day and urged the
appointment of a constituent as an In
dian agent.
/. The President took great interest in
these appointments, and was ANXIOUS
that none but good men should fill
them. He told the member this,
plainly: 81 don't know this man that
you recommend SO highly, and | have
no means of finding out except by in
curing of some one, and know of no
more proper persons to consult in such
matters than those whom the people
have selected to look after their inter
ests in Congress. Now | will tell you
what | will do. If you will sit down
at the table, and write out what you
have told me about this man, and re-
, commend his appointment and sign
your name to it, l will appoint him,

hold you responsible. l have thought

be permitted to sleep, but should be
kept in continual motion. A cup of
strong hot coffee ought to be given to
him on his recovery.
: Our space will not permit of mora
minute inquiry into other varieties of
neurotic poisons; suffice it to say that
in mosr instances arising from the ad-
ministration of any preparation of
opium, the antidotes above mentioned
are considered the most serviceable.
We must not omit to notice poisoning
by copper, which at times has arisen by
the employment of copper vessels for
cooking purposes, which never should
be employed in any household. The
first indications of copper-poisoning are
sudden attacks of gripping pains, aggra-
waited by pressure, often accompanied
by sickness and peculiar sallow aspect
of countenanoe. According to Ryan,
the white of egg is the best antidote for
poisonous preparations of copper. Lead
poisoning is usually owing either to
drinking water which has remained for
some time in leaden pipes, or by certain
aVocations in which some preparation
VI 1otu lS uS6u. OOuIdEu WdGeE taken
by mistake causes lead-poisoning. Lead
collie is one of its leading symptoms,
which is relieved by pressure. Paraly-
sis of the limbs is another well-marked
indication. Sulphate of magnesia has
been recommended as an antidote. A
dram of sulphate of magnesia,
five drops of dilute sulphuric acid
and twenty drops of tincture OF
hyosyamus in two tablespoonfuls OF
camphor-water every two hours till the
bowels are relieved, and then thrice
daily for FIVE days, is the treatment
which some consider most appropriate
under these circumstances.
In drawing this article to close, we
desire to impress upon our readers the
vital Importance, in all cases of poison
ing, of being. able Immediately to adj
minister the antidotes, while the med
ical man is being summoned. Many a
valuable life would undoubtedly be
saved, were the precautions before men.
