CURE FOR PILES.

Piles are frequently preceded by
sense of weight Oh the back, loins
and lower part of the abdomen,
causing the patient to suppose he
has some ELECTION of the kidneys
or neighboring organs. AT times
symptoms of indigestion are pres
eDt, flatulency, uneasiness of the
stomach. etc. A moisture, like
prespiration, producing very dis
agreeable itching, after getting
warm, is a common attendant.
Blind, bleeding aud itching piles

the intense itching, and effecting a

The Sacred White Elephant of Bur,
nah Dead.

London, Dec. 1i.-Advices from
Mandaay state that the sacred
White Elephant is dead. The Gus
tomary ceremony of keeping the
body lying in state for three days
was prevented by the British offi
cials, owing to sanitary reasons.
The funeral was attended by an
enormous crowd. The elephant
occupied a magnificent palace of
its own near King Thebau's palace.
A correspondent Of the London
Standard who recently visited the
White Elephant, says the only
white about him was in two small
dirty spots, which were almost i'm

A CAMPAIGN LIE.
tNsw York Star

NuW lVi n oihi.
1t appears that Brother Horton
was a leader among the colored
Prohibitionistsin In Atlanta. Broth.
or Horton knew the people he had
to deal with, and he understood
the uselessness of talking total
abstinence to empty stomachs.
he promised his followers who
would agree to leave whiskey
alone and help compel everybody
else to leave it alone feast fit for
the gods. He organized a 'possum
supper, and procured 200 opos.
sums with which to regale his
guests. The enthusiasm among
the celorod people was tremen
dous. The streets of Atlanta re.
sounded with cheers for Brother
Horton and for 'possnm aud re.
form.
But a bad colored man on the
other side thought he saw chance
to block Brother Horizons little
game. He began to ask colored
men on the street corners If they
noticed n scarcity of cats of late in
Atlanta. When the colored mems
attention was thus called to the
matter they thought they had no
ticed such n scarcity. Encouraged
by this, the wicked colored man
suggested that 1t was "mighty
queer where Brother Horton got
200 'possums. The other darkies
thereupon agreed that 2U0 pos
sums we're q good many for one
man to gather. Finally the bad
colered man tbrowed aside all re.
serve, aud boldly declared that
Brother Horton intended serving
cats instead of 'possums, and he
further declared be had seen the
Prohibitionist leader skinning the
cats.
There was consternatisn In At
lanta. The colored population was
in a fever of excitement. Invita-.
tions to the 'possum supper were
not merely at discount-they
were looked upon with loathing
The great feast was likely to ha vs
no guests and the Prohibition
movement was threatened will
ruin. But Brother Horton was
equal to the occasion. All of the
colored preachers Of Atlanta Ger
tilted that they had seen aud tasted
the 'possum, and two hundred gen
uine 'poss-im tails we're triumph
antIy exhibited side by side Will
cat tails in deadly parallel columns
Thus the SANDER was triumphant
ly refuted, and reaction cam,
which carried the Prohibition
cause to success. The most pro
nouncsd taste of the Atlanta ne
groes had been outraged, aud they
had been nearly misled into de
clining the noblest feast ever of
fered to gods or men. SO warn
was their indignation that the in
ventor ofthe great cat lie fed with
