Imitators of Hostetier's Stomach Bhters have
not only lost money by aiteml ting underhand
competition with 1t, but have actually con-
tributed to enhance the estimation in which
the genuine medicine is held. The public at
large has for many years been acquainted with
the ear marks that distinguish the real from
the spurious, and cannot be persuaded that
oher articles sold in a somewhat similar gnlse
are equally good. Fever and ague, constipa,
ton, dyspepsia and liver complaint are not
ouTable BY cheap local bitters, eye openers and
tones, but the fact is too well proven and too
generally known to admit oil conscientious dis

but in Mexico, South America and the West
Indies, its merits are widely recognized and its
reputation too firmly established to DO shaken

Natural Gas Wells.

The National Tube Works, located Mt Nc
Kecsport Pa, some fifteen miles from Pitts
burg, began some few months since to connect
their works with natural gas well which
they had located in the Murrysville district,
ten miles distant. An eight inch pipe laid in
the most thorough manner connected their
manufactures with the we'll. Recently all the
connections being perfect the flow of gas was
turned on, and in fourteen minutes it was
blowing through the outlet, fourteen miles
distant, and it will be used in the furnaces at
once. This natural gas will afford both light
and heat, and the use OF it by the National
Tube Works will not exhaust one-quarter of
the supply. 1t is estimated that the cost of
fuel and light, which was $4,000 last year,
will be reduced to $4,000 per annum.

GEN. GORDON'S DIARIES.
Six Manuscript Volumes Forwarded by
Gen. WOIseley to London.

The diaries keptb by Gen. Gordon during the
seige of Khartoum have been sent by Gen.
Wolseley to London, and will be received there
soon. They comprise six manuscript volumes,
and contain daily record of life in the be-
leaguered city from the time of Gen. Gordon's
arrival to the time when he sent his steamers
down the river to meet Gen. Stewards troops
at Gabut. They were carried across the desert
by special couriers from Gabut to Gakdul, and
thence to Korti, where they were received
and read by Gen. Wolseley. Fragmentary
extracts from the diaries have found their way
by telegraph to the London papers, and the
public appetite is whetted for more 1t has
been suggested that the best memorial of the

the difficulty of obtaining the consent of the
government TO the publication OF the diaries in
complete form.

Appeal OF the Duke OF EdInburgh to
Have 1T Made Serviceable.
LONDON, March 6, lSS5.-The Duke of Edin-
burgh, commander of the channel fleet, madea
speech last night, in which he said that the yes
sells under his command were fearfully deficient
in the equipment required by modern methods
of warfare. He was not inclined to be an alar-
mist, but he knew that England's best ships
would be powerless against some OF the vessels
of the desp;sed South American republic The
fault was not in the construction or the hand
ling of Englands men of-war, but in the alb
sence of repairs rendered necessary by wear
and tear and stress Of weather. He was not
opposed to the building OF new and swift cruz
sers, but he believed that the existing vessels
should be kept in serviceable condition, and he
implored the people to vote in favor of appro-
nriAtinp the NECESSARY funds for this nnrnose

AN IRISH LEGION.
A Sensational Story from the West Oh
an American Dynamite Brigade

CHICAGO, March 1.-The Inter- Ocean to-day
printed narrative in which is said:
''The Fenian and other revolutionary circles
of Chicago, including the Advanced Revolu-
tionary League, the most rabid of the dyna-
mite bodies in this city, have been quite
active during the past few days, and, indeed,
since the late London explosions, in making
preparations for an important forward move
ment. Letters have been received here from
Paris, the heaquarters in Dublin OF the
Irish Revolutionary Brotherhood, and
the Fenian council in New York, calling
upon the active revolutionsts of Chicago to
furnish their quota to the Irish brigade,
or legion, now in process of formation, and
destined for active service against England in
Egypt. Four officers have already accepted
positions: Captain Convention of Farquier
county, Va; Lieutenant Dick Morton of Gull
pepper; Lieutenant Golding of Falls Church,
Va, and Sergeant Blakeley of Richmond.
Seven officers of the Union forces, now resi-
dent of Chicago, have been selected, one of
whom for some time past has been doing news
paper work in this city. Fifteen thousand
dollars will be subscribed in this city for the
Chicago contingent, and like sums for the New
York, Philadelphia and Boston contingents.
1t is also stated that a high command in the
new Irish brigade has been offered to dis
tinguished soldier, and rumor has it that he
has accepted. This officer is said to be Gen.
Fig Hugh Lee. The organization seems TO be
well planned, well digested and cohesive in all
ITS parts, the various cities contributing quotas
being regarded as enthusiastic to the last degree.
The brigade will consist of 1000 men, the infan-
try to be armed with Remington rifles,
while the cavalry will carry sabres and Spencer
rifles These man will reDort in New York in
twos and threes, and from there will sail to
some port in France, by some believed to be
Marseilles. The following order was recently
issued from the New York council ofthe Fenan
Brotherhood, and forwarded to ID. W. O'Brien,

of Chicago) and Captain O'Sullivan of Pull.
