4" DEiD.',

Leave me to my speechless sorrow,
Leave me TO my pallid doom,
Shut away the mocking sunlight
Take its burden from the room.
What are words but empty rattle,
Words that murmur of relief.
In the deadly single-handed
Struggle with the monster grief,
Can reason down my anguish
Can take my pain away?
Let the door be closed betwixt us,
Let me meet it as | may.
DEAD. poor lips repeat. repeat it
Wrench from out that word o dread,
All the sharpcst sting of memory
Wrapped within it. SHE Is DEAD
All loves sweetest ministrations,
All its needs fo- her are DER,
Never will she cross the threshold
OF the old familiar door
Never will her ringing laughter
Echo joyous through the hall,
Never will answer gayly
To her fond, caressing call
Never press her smooth white forehead,
Never stroke her shining hair,
Never feel her arm about me,
Never greet her smile 50 rare
Ever miss the matchless kindness
Throughout every word she said,
Ever wall the blank of absence.
Ever mourn my darling dead
Dead oh, grief has drowned my vision,
Blotted all the gladness DER,
Made me half forget she liveth
As she never lived before.
That her tender yearning spirit
Drinks It's MI of sacred joy,
That the cloudleSs bliss of Heaven,
Now is hers without alloy
This can still the inward aching,
This can calm the moaning wild,
'Tis at most dreary absence,
Only am recOncilcd.

The dead line IN battle finds parallel in the
distemper line, promptly recognized nowadays
among herders and beyond which cattle can
not cross without fatal consequences. This
line is now located some eight miles west Of
Morgantown in the Blue Ridge section Of North
Carolina and cattle brought from point just
West of that line to one just east OF it die in
very little while. There is no such thing as
preserving their lives, A century ago the dis
temper line was as far east as Johnston county
y. c., but ii has gradually moved westward
with the chestnut trees which die down and
reappear further west every decade

medicine which during 10 years has, il is as
serted, stood the test in all cases Of cholera,
summer complaint. diarrhea and kindred dis

parts Of tincture ofcayenne, tincture of opium,
tincture Of rhubarb, essence ofpeppernintand
spirits Of camphor. Mix well. Dose Is to 30
drops in a wineglass Of water according to age
and violence of attack Repeat every - or %

shown that sulphate Of carbon is the best agent

dwells on the virtue of bit Of camphor worn

His wife reported to him shortdistance from

in few minutes succeeded in killing the
dog. when his attention was called, by his

Ayers Pills

Never fail to relieve the bowels and pro-
mote their healthful and regular action,
and thus cure Dyspepsia. Temporary
palliatives all do permanent harm. The
fitfuI activity into which the enfeebled
stomach is spurred By ''bitters," and alc0-
holic stimulants, is inevitably followed
by reaction that leaves the organ weaker
than before.

Horrible Discoveries.

EVANSVILLE, March 17.-In an old
building situated on Court House
square, near the centre of the city,
and which has for number of years
been used by the Evansville Medical
College, but recently abandoned, a
disgusting discovery has been ma e..
In the yard at the rear of the build
ing portions of female bodies have
been discovered scattered around
promiscuously. On entering the
building five tables were found GOV.
cred with blood and hair. One ia
ble had evidently been used reco atty,
as parts of human body were scat
tered over the floor In one corner
was a common coffin which had Ger
tainly never been placed in the
ground, but had probably been Ia
ken there by the undert aker instead
of being buried. The horrible sight
was in the garnet, which seemed TO
have been a place of deposit for the
remains of subjects after they had
served the purpose for which they
had been procured Scattered about
on the floor were found the remains
of fortyfve human beings, both
white and black, male and female.

There is new cause of anxiety to
England in the news that comes from
Arabia by the way of Varna, that tho
Turkish authorities at the small towns
of Arabia along the Red Sea have
seized a number of placards and pro
carnations from the Mahdi, calling
upon 1.-THE faithful to organize to ex,
pei the Turks from Arabia. What
the British ministry has feared seems
to be at hand. The military success
es Of the Mahdi in the Soadan are
accepted as proofs of his divine mis-
sion. The English armies, notwith-
standing their reputation for invinci-
bility, have been rolled back in re
treat, and are now on the defensive.
He has entered Khartoum in triumph,
and the great Gordon, whose name
was a spell, was slain. The gates of
Khartoum had opened as by mira
Gle, and the Prophet and his faithful
bad conquered without fighting.
Such is the Arab account Of the affair.
Now, the tidings of this triumph
reaching Arabia are like touching tin
der with fame. For years the Ara
bian hatred of Turkish rule has been
intense and bitter. The Sultan has
something of the authority of pope
over all Islam. Yet Nc a, and not
Constantinople, is the holy city. The
Al BIS think that the authority of the
church should rest in Arabia and in
the Arab race. The Turk is sensual,
unspiritual, unintellectual. He is q
good fighter, and that is all. His do
mination in religion has caused great
discomfort, which shows itself some
times even in the mosques of STAN
boul. The yearning of the Arab to
throw off his yoke and bring back the
spiritual authority to Mecca is as
fierce as fire.
Now the Mahdi sends them word
that he is coming to their relief. He
tells them that he will lead his victo-
rious armies TO Mecca, and that then
there will be displays in the sky such
as will leave no doubt he is the pro-
phet sentby God to redeem the world
There may be millions of Arabs ready
to believe this-aye, and to fight to
the death to support it. The Turk
ish authorities may, however, main
tain their supremacy. The Sultan
will, indeed, put forth all his strength
to do this. It is life and death
struggle for him. But the spirit of
revolt will spread unless the Mahdi
is defeated and his influence destroy
ed. 1t will spread rapidly, now that
he has crossed the Red Sea, through
Persia and Afghanistan into India,
and vastly increase the difficulties
and dangers Of the Eastern problem.
