Causing ksesslessness.
NEW YORK, April 26-Gen. Grant did not
get settled for the night until about 1 O'Clock
this morning. He received five minims of
morphine, and o'clock he slept at intervals.
The sore at the base of the tongue appeared
angry last night, and restlessness may have
been the result.
Though he did net sleep continuously
through the night the patient slept in all as
usual and aroused for the day at o'clock this
morning. He was said by DIR. Douglass to
have been better this morning than on any
day since the improvement began
After the consultation today the doctors
stated that the patient was found to have i'm
proved and he was much better than for q
long time. They said the ''elecric light
story was wholly false.

FRIGHTFUL Epidemic:

Over 800 Cases of Sickness and 81
Deaths in Three Days.

WLKEsBARRE, Pa, April 25-An epidemic
OF disease resembling typhoid fever is raging
in Plymouth, small town three miles from
here. There are upwards of 600 cases OF sick
ness Fifteen deaths occurred today and IL
yesterday. The physicians are unable to stay
the spread OF the disease, which is due to the
bad sanitary condition of the town, there being
no sewers or cutters to carry off the refuse
lLATER.
WnKEsBARRE, Pa, April 26.-The fright
fulfepidemic prevailing at Plymouth has prac-
tically stopped all business in that town ex-
cepti at the drug stores and the undertaking
establishments. Six deaths from typhoid ma
larial fever have taken place since yesterday
and nine funerals were held today. The whole
town appears to be in mourning At meet
ing of the borough council last night the cause
of the pestilence was fully discussed and it
was decided to clean the Streets alleys and
back yards at once and when this work is &C
complished project for the building OF sewers
throughout the town will be submitted to
vote of the people. 1t is said one of the chief
causes Of the epidemic was that large por-
tion of the village was supplied with water
from wells which had become polluted. A
heavy shower fell in Plymouth and vicinity
early this morning and it did much towards
cleaning the filthy streets. II this rain is fol-
lowed by colder weather the noxious and
fever breeding odors may be eradicated.

THE FASHIONABLE COLOR.

GREEN is the fashionable color
now Women will have to begin to
enamel and paint their complexion to
suit this color. Yes, plain, honest,
unmitigated, verdant green is to be
the fashionable color for dinner and
ball dresses. Queen Marguerite, of
Italy, has worn it. The Queen of the
Belgians and her sister-in-law, the
Countess of Flanders, appeared in
green at the last Brussels court ball.
The best Partisan dressmakers are
sending out dream-like costumes in
that trying and long-discarded color.
Even in tardy London signs of its
introduction are family visible in
shop windows and in the sanctums of
the ffst-class milliners. We are al
ways triAe dilatory in the matter Of
fashions and pick them up when they
are of yesterday, but, with national
thoroughness, when once we have
laid hold Of them we make up for lost
time and adopt them with an energet.
ic heartiness that puts in the shade
the original creators, and, it must be
allowed, tends to hurry them to al
untimely end.

AN ECCENTRIC INDIVIDUAL.

A wELL-TO-DO farmer named Jo-
seph Lilly lives near Jamesport, Mo.
For the past eighteen years, Lilly has
not been out of bed, although he is
as physically sound and healthy as
any man that lives. He keeps his
bed under hypochondriacal allusion
that he will die if he should leave it.
He has an interesting family, con
sisting of wife and grown daughters,
who have tried ridicule and entreaty,
all in vain, to change his purpose.
A year or so ago the house took fire
and was in danger of being destroy
ed, but Lilly calmly awaited the re-
suit with a determination not to de-
sert his bed. From his bed he di-
reefs his farming, his wife seeing
that his orders are executed. He
passes his time conversing with peo-
pie, and in reading books and papers.
His father-in-law, DR.. Joseph w.
Rose, who lives at his house, has a
good medical library, which Lilly has
read through and through. Before
Lilly took to his bed he was a most
active man, full of ambition as a trad
err and money getter. His eccentric
ity is remarkable, and probably no
such idiosyncracy exists on the globe.

for seven or eight years. For one
year | was compelled to use crutches.

every sort of liniment, but none of
them did me any good. | saw in the

crutches. | commenced using Swift's
Specific last November, and have had
no further use for crutches, and only
suffer little at times now, and would
not have suffered at all if had con-

A SKEPTICAL MINER,

A Deadwood miner, skeptical as to
the ability and honesty of the assay
ers, in that camp, recently played on
those gentlemen the old trick, with
the usual results. He pulverized an
old jug, mixed with graphite and took
it to Deadwood assayer. Another
portion he gave Lead City assayer.
The Deadwood scientist reported
thirty ounces of silver per ton as the
result of his assay, and the Lead City
expert gave 81 per ton in gold and no
silver as the result of his investiga-
tion.- Chicago Times.

The manner in which money makes
money is illustrated by the following
In the early fall Boston firm bought
about 5000 cases of canned peas.
The market afterward dropped, but
the firm decided to protect the origin
al investment, and accordingly
bought freely in Baltimore and other
markets, until they held all the can
ned peas in the country. From the
bottom price paid there has been an
advance of % cents per dozen, and
they have sold thus far $1,000 dozen.
The advance in canned peas has af-
fected other canned goods, and can
ned tomatoes and canned corn have
advanced ten per cent. The corner
in canned peas is so complete that
the Boston firm referred to is sending
canned peas to Baltimore, New York
and other leading markets.
