OLD AGE.
How Mans Lease of Life may be
Lengthened.

Lengt0eneu.
The possibility of prolonging life has
commanded the serious attention OF emil
uent scientists, and the discovery OF
some compound or elixir capable of pre-
venting or suspending physical decay, has
been, more than once, conhdently pre-
,licted. The practical thing to consider
is, however, the prolongation of life by
proper care of the health, one OF the
hest means of maintaining which is the
occasiona. use of Ayers Pills. S. c.
Bradburn. Worthington, Mass, says:
"Ayer's Pills are
THE BEST
remedy for sick headache, arising from
an impure state of the stomach, and are
the mildest and best purgative in the
world. They were first recommended to
me, BY my mother, thirty years ago."
Mrs. j. G. Smith, Campbelltown, Ga,
saws: 81 have been cured of Rheumatism,
and am now enjoying good health, through
the use of Ayers Pills. I am nearly
seventy years of age" Mark johnson,
Monterey, Mexico, says: 81 have used
Ayers Pills for the past thirty years. and
am satisfied that should not now be alive
had it not been for these Pills. By using
them | have been enabled to avoid the
bilious diseases peculiar to this climate"
v. Thompson, Mount Cross. Va, says:
"Ayer's Pills gave me quick and
HAPPY RELIEF
from bilious and sick headaches. l have
now used them for two years, with ill.,
creasing satisfaction" NJ. V. Watson,
1872 State ST., Chicago, ILL.,, says: Zone
year ago / was induced to try Ayers
Pills as remedy for Indigestion, Con-
stipaton. and Headache. from which ]
had been a great sufferer. l found the
action OF these Pills easy. and obtained
prompt relief. In continuing their use. u
single Pill, taken after dinner, has been
all the medicine | have required. Ayers
Pills have benefited me more than all the
medicines ever before tried" DIT. Sum-
mcrs, p. NJ. Wayside, Hans. says: "My
wife suffered, for several years, with Cos
tiveness and Sick Headache. She was
completely cured by using Ayers Pills."

Dakota water Spout.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, August 12.-Ad-
vices frem Deadwood say q water
spout struck Lone Tree creek, near
Chadron, Dakota, last Thursday,
flooding the valley. drowning four
men, two children and a number of
horses, besides washing away sever
al hundred yards of newly finished
railroad grade. A family of emf
grants, consisting of man, his wife
and three children were camped on
the creek when the water struck
them. The man attempted to save
two of the children, but was drown
ed with them. The woman caught
hold of wagon box as it was float
ing away and climbed into it. The
box was carried down to White Riv-
er, where ii struck against a bank
and the woman succeeded in catch
ing hold of some willows and draw
ing herself out. She was dressed in
nothing but her night clothes. The
third child, aged about four years
was carried down by the flood, but
was found alive clinging to some
debris the next morning in White
River near the town. The track of
the food was found strewn with
dead horses, harness and grading
tools, while here and there was
found the body of some unfortunate
grader.

In Desperate Peril.

LEwIsTowN, Aug. 15.-As Reuben
Kreps, a division foreman on the
Pennsylvania Railroad between Nc.
yeytown and Anderson's, was going
to his home in Granville about nine
o'clock last night he was attacked
and overpowered by three unknown
men, supposed to be tramps, robbed
of s36. gagged, bound hand and
foot, placed across the North track
and tied there.
The unfortunate man, knowing
that a freight train was due shortly
struggling with the desperation Of
one facing horrible death. Soon
the noise of the approaching freight
sounded in his ears, and summon
ing all his strength for a superhu-
man effort, he succeeded in drawing
his feet from his boots and extricat-
ing himself from his perilous posi-
ton just in time to save his life
His hands, however, were We. tied to
the track when thetrain came along
and when he was found by the
watchman five minutes later it was
discovered that the wheels had
crushed the fingers OF one hand
He was ct once removed to his home
where he lies in a critical condition

ERUPTION OF A VOLCANO,
The Crater or Cotopaxi Ovcrflows and
Destroys One Hundred Houses.

PANAMA, August S, 1SS5.-The
steamer Lima just arrived fromsthe
coast, brings news Of another erup-
ton of the celebrated volcano of
Cotopaxi. The La Nacion of Quay
aquil, of July 81, has the following
concerning the event:
About one o'clock this morning
We were awakened by heavy artiI-
lery apparently from guns of the
heaviest calibre, which could not
but alarm us. We sprang up hast:-
ly from our beds and hurried TO the
balcony of our house to ask the first
passer by what had happened. But
the stree was deserted, and the ex-
plosions followed one another in
wonderful rapidity at times, and at
others causing a continuous roar,
shaking the earth and causing the
windows in the doors of the house
to rattle. We heard no clamor of
trumpets, nor the opposing shouts
of "vivas" or ''mueras" which are so
frequently heard in battle, but what
seemed to be an artillery combat of
colossal proportions. "What could
it be ?" "What might it be?"
The damage done is probably con-
siderable, as 100 houses were de-
stroyed probably by this "allusion. >
The number ofvictims is not known,

Twenty-Seven years in an Asylum.

Adrianne Brinckle has just been
released from the State Lunatic Asy-
lum at Harrisburg, where she has
been confined twenty-seven years,
although perfectly sane during all
that time. Thirty years ago the
family of Miss Brinckle's father, DR..
William Diaper Brinckle, were lead
ers of Philadelphia society, and
Addie was the centre of an admiring
circle. Reverses finally swept away
the Doctors fortune, reducing the
family to uncomfortable circumstap-
ces. To raise money for necessary
expenses, Addie sold her piano and
some furniture which bad not yet
been fully paid for. The owner
sued her for wrongful conversion of
the property. With the idea of saw
ing the family honor, DR.. Brinckle
caused his daughter to be placed in
the lunatic asylum, intending to
secure her release in short time.
He died suddenly, however, leaving
her in the institution where she re-
mained until released by the Com
mission on Lunacy few days ago.
Her relatives and former friends had
either been apathetic or had feared
the rising OF unpleasant questions
that would have followed any at
TENN. by them to release Miss Brin-
ckle. A letter written 20 her by Dr.
Thomas G.. Morton finally led to an
investigation into her mental condi-
ton. She is now at the eonvalescent
retreat, near Glenn Mills, Delaware
County. Though her hair is gray,
she is in the full possession of her
mental faculties and in good health
and spirits.

vanderbil,'s Latest scheme,

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 1.-THE Globe
Democrat says. as coming from a
high official, that the absorption of
the West Shore railroad by the Van
derbilt line is only part of aseheme
to make the New York Central and
Pennsylvania companies masters
of the situation in all further agree
ments between the trunk lines, and
in awarding percentages. Their plan
is to substantially control the APP
proaches to New York from the West
either through direct ownership or
by a threatening attitude towards
the weaker lines. and to fortify their
positions strong enough to resist at
tacks from rival companies, they
havematured plan for a division OF
territory and railway property which
stands at the head of all previous
combinations to crush out competi-
tion.
In this arrangement Vanderbilt is
to have another trunk line between
New York and Chicago and one be-
tween New York and st. Louis.

PENSION COMMISSIONER BLACK is
very busily employed recognizing
the boards Of Examining Surgeons,
by turning out Republican surgeons
and appointing Democrats in their
stead. What politics has to do with
the examination of the disabilities
and wounds of the old soldiers, has
been left for General Black to dis
cover. For fifteen years, at least, be-
fore General Black took charge OF
the Pension Bureau, no man was APP
pointed an examining surgeon OF
dismissed from that Office on ac-
count of his politics. Hundreds Of
the examining surgeons were Dem
ocrats, simply because they were
found to be the ablest and most ex-
perienced surgeons in the places
where their services were required
But no applicant was ever asked
whether he was Democrat or a Re-
publican, and an examination of the
applications on file in the Persion
Office when General Black took
charge would show that in few cases
indeed, did applicants say that they
were Democrats or Republicans.

The Pennsylvania railroad is CO.
ing TO have some trouble before it
succeeds in its attempt to gobble up
the South Pennsylvania road. Its
buccanerring greed has aroused the
people of the State and the question
has now got to be determined
whether the Constitution is mere
rope OF sand. If this monstrous
corporation owns the State the peo-
pie want to know it. 1t has been
pushing the fight upon them for
years and now the test must come.
The people, VS.. corporate powers is
the issue that is rapidly ripening,
ana the people are getting ready for
the contest. The next Legislature
will contain body of members
pledged to make battle against fur
ther encroachment by corporations,
andinstructed TO demand the enforce
ment of the constitution and to take
pledges Tor its future observance.
With the issue fairly and squarely
drawn, no member dare take the
side of the corporations against the
