A Soudanese Incident.

From the London Telegraph.
Quartermaster-ser Harris, of
the Sth Hussars, has written from the
seat of war in the Soudan to his wife,
at present residing in Athlone, dsscrib-
ing some sharp encounters with the
enemy, and one particularly narrow
escape he had. A recommending party
of eighty troopers, half English and
half Egyptian, proceeded to Handoub,
eleven miles on the Berber road. Two
miles from Handoub the enemy pre-
pared an ambush at a place called
Khov. On the return journey OF the
recommending party severe skirmish
took place with the rebels, who were
over 5000, and the former were OBJ
liged to gallop round the enemy's flank
under heavy fire. Before retreating
they destroyed the native huts and
property and captured few cattle.
After terrible ride of over sixteen
miles round to the sea coast the cav
airy succeeded in getting through the
rebels, losing eight hussars and twelve
horses, eight Egyptians and seven
horses killed, and one Egyptian wound
ed. Sergeant Harris says that young
hussar, named Rafferty,, from Athlone,
was shot dead riding beside him, and
that his own escape was most miracu-
lous. On reaching the camp, SO ex-
hausted were they from fatigue, through
the heat and thirst, that they were
unable to dismount, and had to be
lifted out Of their saddles. He gave
instructions as to his worldly affairs, as
he expects daily to be killed, and the
small army to which he is attached to
be cut to pieces. The rebels are, he
says, as numerous almost as the sand
in the desert.

CURE FOR PILES.

Piles ara frequently preceded by sense
of weight in the back, loius 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, IS fiatulency, I'M
easiness of the stomach, etc. A moisture,
like perspiration, producing very dis
agreeable itching, after getting warm, is .
common attendant. Blind, Bleeding and
Itching Piles yield at once to the applica-
ton of DIR. Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which
acts directly upon the parts affected, abb
sorbing the Tumors, aliaying the intense
itching, and affecting a permanent euro.

What WILL SurelY LIN II.

Ones hair begins to fall out from many
causes. The important question is: What
is sure to make it grow in again? According
to the testimony of thousands, Parker's
Hair Balsam will do it. 1t quickly cover,
bald spots, restores the original color when,
the hair is gray or faded, eradicates dand-
ruff, and causes the scalp to feel cool and
well. 1t is not dye, not greasy, highly
perfumed, safe. Never disappoints those
who require nice, reliable dressing.

AYERS
Cherry Pectoral.

No other complaints are so insidious in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs:
none so trifed with by the majority of suffer-
ers. The ordinary cough or cold resulting
perhaps from a trihing or unconscious ex-
posure, is often but the beginning of fatal
sickness. AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL has
well proven its efficacy in forty years fight
with throat and lung diseases, and should be
taken i'll all cases without delay.

the invention of other mechanism yet
more useful and wonderful. The cot

Of this assertion. Had any one said one

he would have been laughed at, and yet
the marvel is coming no less certainly
than is the gin improving in its fine

Curious Law Proceedings.

Judge Alarich has just unfavslled
and passed upon til. merits Of a Singh
lar document which fell to his lot in
one of the counties in this circuit. 1t
is an appeal case from the Court Of a
certain trial justice and is gotten up in
the felicitous. style Of the inferior
bench. The record in the case shows
that "a" sued .sB" for $lOO. On the
lst of April ajury found a verdict for
"B' and costs. On the Goth Of the
same month the Court" gives judge
ment for ~" for $94 and and *13 DANA
GEES. Both sides have appealed, and the
question is to settle the conflicting
statements on record. Judge Aldrich
says in the premises:
"After n careful study Of this record
! confess i am at a loss to understand
what Il means. 1t looks AS if the case
was first tried by . jury on the LIST Of
April. 1885, who found for the defendant.
Then it appears that on the 10th Of
April, 1885. the trial Justice, Of his own
motion. tried the case n second time and
gave Judgement for the plaintiff. am

PENDANT is appealing from. There il
nothing III his grounds Of appeal to in

From the Boston Rscor6.

From the Boston Rec0rC
An unreported incident OF a recent poltl-
zeal gathering in this city deserves record
by the historian. A gentleman, who for
several years has held the highest unsal-
aried elective Office in the common
wealth, possesses, among other executive
faculties, rare talent for presiding over
the stormy sessions ofthe Democratic city
committee incident to the annual struggle
for the organization of that body. So re-
gularlv is he selected for the duty of
breasting the tOrnad es which sweep
through the hall on these occasions, and
regulating the lightning which plays
through the air, that by parliamentary
contradiction he may be styled the per-
manent temporary chairman. The skill,
the firmness. the ready wit required to
satisfactorily or safely fill this position in
the most truly remarkable deliberative
body known TO our civilization, can be
understood only by those who have seen
the thing done. On the occasion referred
to there were dozen or more cOntesting
delegations, each of which presented its
claims in five minutes argument by its
chosen orator. The representation of
South End ward in which, according to
common and malicious gossip, the pecu-
MARY element enters largely into political
contests. was on the floor demonstrating
the absolute fairness and openness of the
election of his delegation, in contrast with
the dark and shameful practices of the
opposing faction.
"Mr. Chairman" said he. Chow was the
balloting conducted? Why, sir, every
ballot that was cast was deposited in an
open faced soap-box standing in full view
upon the table"
"What kind of box did the gentleman
saw" interrupted the chairman, bending
forward with an expression Of judicial
interest on mis- face.
IAN open-faced sOap-box."
"SoapT'

"EmptyT"

"Ah! beg pardon. / see. The soap
was all gone Eefore the balloting began.

gument."
