Elysium was the name given by the an
Gent Greeks to the resting place of the
righteous dead, where they should enjoy
eternal peace and happiness. None but
the pure in heart, thetruthful and the gen.
erous could tread the asphodef meadows of
of the Elysian fields and it was a land of
everlasting delight. When, therefore, Mrs.
Kate Sherman, of Streator, ILL.,, said re-
Gently that she had been in Elysiunl,
though Of course she spoke iiguratively, it
argued that some great good fortune and
joy had come to her. And such, indeed,
was the truth. Mrs Sherman tells how it
was in this way:

rheumatism for more than thirty years.
Heretofore the pain would succumb to the
application of hot wet flannel, but at my

The Rev. Samuel Porter of Crete ILL.,.
says of the effect Of Athloploros upon his
wife:
Mrs. Porter was very much benefited
by the first bottle. before she commenced
taking it she could not walk, she was so

was soon able to walk. She sleeps we'll
Mr.. John Hews, our neighbor, was very

Governor Kinkead's Retirement.
Ata public meeting of the cit.
liens of Sitka, Alaska, held on the
18th of July, expression was given
to the sentiments of the commun-
ity regarding the retirement of John
II. Kinkead, in a series of resolu-
tions which expressed regret for his
removal from the office of Chief Ex-
eeutive Of the Territory, and. de-
clared that as pioneer citizen, one
who came to Alaska among the first
Americans in 1867, his name has
been household word, an example
of the higher and better type Of
American citizen, who are of those
who hew their way through forests,
make paths and trails over trackless
deserts and waterless plains, and
sail through unknown seas for the
more timid to follow after. The
resolutions concluded with express
sions of sympathy on account Of his
present bodily affliction and assur-
ances Of regard and friendship.

Swimming East River Bound
Hand and Foot.

| NEW YORK, July 29.-There was
great excitement along the East
River front in the neighborhood OF
Dover street, yesterday afternoon.
The cause of it was the report that
Prof. Dennis Butler would attempt
to swim East River from New
York to Brooklyn, with hands and
feet firmly tied, for a wager of $3.50.
The swimmer was encased in a net
work of rope. His arms were LASH
ed firmly to his sides and his hands.
crossed, were tied stcutly across his
back. His legs from the hips down
were also dashed together: and his
crossed feet secured by coils of half
inch rope. He was apparently help
less. Two men lifted the Professor
by the shoulders, and the body
plunged into the water like a bar of
lead, sinking out Of sight. A few
seconds later the Professor spouted
water like porpoise four rods away.
The minute the swimmer touched
the Brooklyn dock be was hauled
aboard the tug, a half-hundred whis-
ties were sounded from tugs and
factories, while 10000 people yelled
themselves hoarse. 1t was found
that the shrinkage of the cords in
the water had cut deep into Buffers
flesh, and he must have suffered
terribly, though he declared that
he was no more exhausted than
after an ordinary swim. He said
that at one time in the rough waves
which engulfed him, he came very
near choking, as he was under wa
ter at times for several minutes.
when his head touched the Long
Island shore the referees watch in
dicated 7:06 A. NJ. The distance
swum over according to the Captain
Of the tug, was little more than a
mile. Time-19 minutes.

The Flag at n southern Theater.
At the theater last night an in
eident occurred which is worthy
Of much more than local notice.
It was at the close of the third act
when the American flag was intro
duced on the stage. As soon as
that emblem Of the republic was
displayed the enthusiasm of the
audience became understandable
Cheer after cheer rose from gallery,
dress circle and parquet, and after
the fall Of the curtain the vociferous
applause was so long-continued that
the curtain net only had to be
again and again raised, but the
actors in the scene were forced to
make their appearance on the stage
before quiet was restored. The
assemblage was emphatically Saw
anDahians. who may be classed
among the can't-get-always. As far
as it is known, not a single Northern
man or woman was in the theater,
and if any such were present the
fact was never once thought of.
The demonstration, therefore was
the spontaneous outburst of South
ern assemblage and a true and sin
,eere act OF homage to the flag of our
common country.-Savannah Ca,
