CURE FOR PILES.

Piles are frequently preceded by sense
of weight in the back loins and lower part
of the abdomen, causing the patient to sup
pose he has seme affection of the kidneys or
neighboring organs. At times symptoms
of indigestion are present, as tiatulency, un-
easiness of the stomach, etc. A moisture,
like perspiration, producing a very dis
agreeable itching, after getting warm, is a
common attendant. Blind, Bleeding and
Itching Piles yield at once to the applica-
ton of DIR. Bosankos Pile Remedy, which
acts directly upon the parts affected, alb
sorbing the Tumors, aliaying the intense
itching, and affecting permanent cure.

A HEALTHY DRESS FOR GIRLS.
A Favorite Garment Which Is Said to BE

know shall astonish a good many
people when say that think that ven-
cradle and highly respected article of
female dress, the chemise, may advan-
tageously be wholly dispensed with.
Every one is supposed to have chemise
''to her back" but that this supposition
is not wholly true was proved to me
some time ago. When at the seaside
last Autumn two girls, mutual friends of
mine, and whom l introduced to each
other, went one warm day with me to
bathe.
One said to the other: 81 am afraid
you will be awfuily shocked when you
see me undress. Shocked! Why?"
"Well, hardly like to tell you; but the
fact is, that l have SO little on. 81
don't wear much" said the other. "All
l have is combinations, stays and one
petticoat under my dress" Curiously
enough, both these girls were dressed in
precisely the same way, in woolen COM
binations, stays (well shaped and not
tight), one petticoat and dress which
from it's elegance gave no suspicion of
the state of affairs underneath. AS
had an opportunity Of observing, these
young ladies were dressed in perfectly
sanitary style, although none but myself
had any idea of the fact; and, in spite of
it, they passed for two of the best
dressed girls at the fashionable wafer
ing-place where we were staying.
l have since had several opportunities
of observation and find that quite a
number of the best dressed women of
my acquaintance have renounced the use
of the chemise in favor of woven combi
nations. The majority, however, | be-
lieve, are not induced to do so by sani-
tary considerations, but simply because
the chemise is bulky article and makes
them look stouter than is natural to
them; whereas the combinations being
made in a strctchy material, fit some
what closely and show the symmetry of
the figure. This is, to my mind, a very
good reason why the chemise should be
given up, but, from health point of
view, we can find a still better one.
Chemises are generally made of linen or
cotton, both of which materials, as /
have already said, are unsuitable for
clothing because they are good conduc-
tors of heat, bad absorbers of moisture
and bad ventilators.

Ayers Sarsaparila.

Since then Mr.. LELAND has recommended
AYERS SARsArARILLA in many similar
cases, and he has never yet heard of its fail
ure to effect radical cure.
Some years ago one of Mr.. LELAND's farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to'the bad
state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor-
rible itching of the skin, with burning and
darting pains through the lump, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
discharging great quantities of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was of any
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELAND's direc-
ton, was supplied with AYERS SARsAPA-
RILLA, which allayed the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb to use.
Mr.. LELAND has personally used

messenger at such place on the
road South that evening. The man
was arrested, brought to the War
Department, searched, the paper
found upon him and identified, and
he was committed to the Old Capitol
Prison. He made his escape about
a week later, being fired upon by the
guard. A large reward for his cap
ture was advertised in various papers
East and West, and when he reached
St. GATHERINGS, with his arm in a
sling, wounded by bullet which had
passed through it, his story was be-
Eeved by Messrs. Clay and Jacob
Thompson, or, at any rate, if they
had any doubts upon the subject,
they were not strong enough to pre-
vent his carrying their messages after
ward.
THE DAY BEFORE THE ASSASSINATION
The last time | saw Mr.. Lincoln
to speak with him was in the after
noon of the day of his murder. The
same Jacob Thompson was the sub
ject of our conversation. | had re-
ceived a report from the Provost
Marshal of Portland, Me-, saying
that Mr.. Thompson was to be in that
town that night for the purpose of
taking the steamer for Liverpool;
and what orders had the Depart
ment to give? l carried the telegram
to Mr.. Stanton. He said promptly:
"Arrest him." but as ] was leaving
his room, he called me back, adding:
"You had better take it over to the
President" 1t was now between a
and S O clock in the afternoon and
business at the White House was
completed for the day. l found Mr..
Lincoln with his coat off in a closet
attached to his office washing his
hands. "Halloo, Danna," said he,
as l opened the door, "what is ii
now?" "Well, sir" l said, "here is
the Provost Marshal of Portland who
reports that Jacob Thompson is tc
be in that town tonight and inquiries
what orders we have to give. "
"What does Stanton say?" he asked
"Arrest him." l replied. "Well,'
he continued, drawing his words
ri rather guess not. When yor
have an elephant on hand and he
wants to run away, better let hin
rum"
This answer | carried back to the
War Department, and, accordingly.
no reply was sent to the Proves
Marshal. That night Mr.. Lincoll
was shot, and, in the room adjoining
the small chamber in which he la,

Mr.. Stanton, the only member Of tn
Administration who seemed to re
tain his self-possession and undimin
ished energy, gave all the orders 70
hours that seemed necessary to carr,

door. Opening the window, l asked
"What is it?" "Mr. Dana," sai'
he, "Mr. Lincoln is dead, and MI

ASsAssINATED ON THE BATTLEFIELD
THRoUGH THE INTRIGUEs OF ZALDIv.in.
Washington, April 2O.-Advices were
received here to-day from Guatemala de
scribing briefly the scene ofGen. Barrios's
begun the battle when the Guatemalean
ing the troops on the battle field, but was
in the rear Of the troops, when ar on
slaught was suddenly made on him by a
band of the enemy Barrios fell mortally
wounded by bullet, and died in few
minutes. A desperate struggle was made
to capture his body from his bodyguard,
and twenty Guatemaiean soldiers were
killed before the enemy were repulsed and
the attempt abandoned. 1t was IN this
fight thst Barrios' son fell. 1t is com
mon belief that Barlios was deliberate
ly assassinated by the intrigues OF Zaldl
var, and that the responsibility for the
crime rests with him. To day papers
were also received from uatemalan con-
tanning a proclamation by Zaldivar, max
ing the absurd claim that he had the prom
ise Of protection from Mexico and the
nited States, and that twenty Amerl-
can men of war and gunboats would be
sent to his defence against Barrios. The
| body OF Barrlos was taken to uatemala
and buried with impressive ceremonies.
The people were profoundly moved by
| the disaster and show great sorrow at the
death of their President, to whose lead
ership they looked for brilliant national
progress.
The engagement in which Barrios
was killed was between one battalion
of the Guatemalian troops, and much
larger body of San Salvadorians. At
a. M, Barrios gave the order to attack,
but at ten O'Clock no advanced move
ment had been made, as the troops
were under the command of an unpop-
ular colonel. and refused to obey him
Barrios was in his tent with two of his
officers when this information was
! brought to him. On the refusal Of both
these officers to assume command. be
left the tent. and it was while he was
proceeding to the front of the column
that he was shot by a sharp shooter
from a tree. The bullet entered his
right shoulder, passed through his heart
and out through his left side Mean.
while the battle had commenced, anC
in a short time both sides withdrew
from the battle field, but not till de.
ternIined and successful effort had been
made to recover the body of Barrios.
