BarrioS.

Ruiiino Barrios, President Of
Guatemala and sclf-constituted die
tator of Central America, was killed
on April 4, at the battle Of
Chalchuapa. His career reads like
romance. Startling out q poor
boy, without either money or infu-
encc, be became the richest man in
Central America with absolute
despotic control in his own domin-
ions. While he ruled with absolute
authority yet he made Gautemala
one OF the most prosperous countries
on the globe. He established rail
roads, built up schools and gave to
the country all the conveniences of
telcgraphs. Full Of energy, well &C
quainted with his country, trade
tiourishcd as it never did before.
Finally he determined to control all
Central America and build up a
great State, nominallv a Republic.
Dispatching to Honduras, Salvador,
Nicaragua and Costa Rica he
gravely informed the Presidents Of
these Republics that a union was
imperatively demanded and that he
was called upon to lead. Honduras
acquies:ed, Salvador wished TO
temporizc, Nicaragua fatty opposed
the proposed arrangement. Pre-
partitions for war were made and in
about the first battle Barrios paid
the penalty of his ambition with his
life. Amongst the incidents of his
career, correspondent of the New
York Sun describes his second mar
riage. Calling at the house of q
rich country merchant he took quite
a fancy to his daughter, then quite
young. He at once informed the
father OF his intention of marrying
her, saying he wished her first
thoroughly educated. The father
gave his consent, not intending,
however, to carry ont the agreement
Barrios forced the father Do send her
to school and at the end of the time
demanded her. The father being
reluctant was thrown into prison and
tinafly the young lady herself con
senied. The marriage turned out a
very happy one and Barrios foreiv-
ing his father in-law made HIM rich
and elevated him to places of dis
tinCtiOn.

hOrt.-A Telling letter.

Here is fact for you tn think over viz Medi-
cal science proves that diseases no matter how
great variety they seem to have proceed from
comparatively few causes. u is for this reason
that some SINGLE medicines relieve or cure so
wide "A range of complaints-some Of them ap-
pearing almost directly opposite in itnelr natures
When medical preparation acts at once upon
the digestive AMI urinary organs, and also pur-
control are astonishing. But, while many things
az said to possess this power, those which act
l ally do exert it, are very rare.
1t is conceded that DIR. David kennedy's Fay-
Orite Remedy, of Rondcut Ny. Is the most eff
frctiye preparation now ia use for all diseases
arising from foul or impure state of the circu-
latiOn, Hence it is more than likely that if the

KATE.

There's something in the name Of Kate
Which many will condemn;
But listen now, while ! relate
The traits ut some of them.
THERE'S deli Kate, a modest dame,
Aud worthy Of your love;
She's nice aud beautiful i'm frame,
As gentle as n dove.
Communal Hates intelligent,
As we may well suppose;
Her fruitful mind is ever bent
On telling what she knows.
There's intri-Katc, she's so obscure,
'Tis hard to RHl her out,
For she is often very sure.
TO put your wits to rout.
Prevari Rates n stubborn maid,
She's sure to have her way;
The caviling, contrary jade
Objects to all you say.
There's alter-kate, perfect pest,
Much gwen to dispute;
Her prattling tongue can never rest,
You cannot her refute.
There's dislo-Kate, quite in fret,
Who fails to gain her point;
Tier lace Is quite unfortunate,
And sorely out of joint.
Equivo-Kato no one will WOO,
Tho thalg would be absurd;
She is 50 faithleSS and untrue,
You cannot take her word.
There's vindiKate, she's good and true,
And strives withall her might
Her duty faithfully to do,
And battles for the right.
There's rusti Kate, a country lass,
Quite fond of rural scenes;
She likes to ramble through tho grass,
And through the evergrcens.
OF all the ma;dsns you can find
There's hone like edu-kate;
Because she clevates the mind,
And aims at something great.

America Ahead. Peculiar
characteristics Of Amcri-
cans The Evils and How
Restored.
In this age Of hustle and hurry, an ago
devoted to great projects and enterprises,
the American people are taking the lead
in the furtheranec Of noble works, and in
the advancement of the sciences and arts.
In these they deserve to take high rank,
and through the united works Of millions,
the American continent is fast being
transformed from lis untamed state and
being placed on an equality with the older
continents bcyond the ocean. The Amer
lean people arc fast, under these influences
developing into nervous, energetic race,
remarkable for its vim and business quail
fcations; yet there is danger that in the
course of years these very elements may
combine to the ruination Of the physical
character of the people, and leave them
feeble and altogether different from their
forefathers. General debility is now much
more common than; formerly, and seems
to be on the increase among the masses.
Many remedies have been extensively
advertised for this widespread complaint,
but none Of these have been so successful
or met with such general favor as the
remedy manufactured by DIR. s. d. Hart
man, and named by him PERUNA.
Mr.. 8 S. Cloudy, of Massillon, Stark
county, Ohio, writes: That he has been
troubled with general debility and dysPep-
sia for several years that he was induced
to try PERUNA for his complaints, and
that after using three bottles OF the medi-
cine he was greatly relieved. 1t braced
him right up and gave him energy, and
restored him to his youthful vigor. He
ascribes his cure TO PERUNA, and says 1t
10 a wonderful remedy.

Quick on His Hind Legs.

A curious little animal is on exhi-
bition at fancier's store in this city. It
is about the size of small rat, and
looks like lilliputian kangaroo. There
are no forelegs to be seen, although
there are two, but so small that they
only become visible when held out from
the animals body, to which they closely
adhere. Its hind legs are just the re-
verse. They seem out of all proportion
to the gerboa, as the little fellow is called.
By their aid he can clear space of
fully thirty feet at a bound, flying
through the air like gigantic cricket
or bird. In shape they resemble the
legs of spring chicken, and at a first
glance the gerboa looks like bat which
has lost its wings. Its native of South
Africa. and spends the greater part of
its life in the earth. When burrowing.
If it should meet layer of stone, it
gnaws its way through it with as much
ease as squirrel does hickorynut.
The natives of that country kill it for
food by pouring water into its burrow
and striking it with stick as it leaps
out Its extraordinary leaping powers
i'm which the little forearms are never
used-has also given it the name of
flying hare. 7. Mail and Express.

the narrator: Zone morning many
years ago. after reaching his office and
trying in vain to begin work, he turned
to me and remarked: I can not get
along at all this morning Why notP'
asked. @. he replied, I have done
wrong. When on my way here little
boy flying kite passed me. The string
of the kite having rubbed against my
face l seized it and broke it. The boy
lost his kite, but did not stop to pay
him for 1t. I did wrong. | ought to
have paid him." This tenderness of
conscience went far toward making the
poet the kindly, noble, honorable, and
honored man that he was. whose death
was felt as loss throughout the land.

was saved the trouble, however. I had
not gone much more than mile when

toward me sturdy peddler, with fur
cap on his head, and a pack of very
la1'ge dimensions fastened on his broad
shoulders. Such fellows are very COM

tricts of the Highlands, where they do
roaring trade IN ribbons, sham jew
elry and small wares, besides carrying a
fund of gossip from place to place. In
the specimen of the class now before

ghost of the haunted brig, and on
hailing him was soon in possession of
the whole story. Yes; he was the man
that was sitting on the bridge about
eleven o'clock; and was I the gentleman
that rode past as if all the witches in
the countryside were at his heelsg

of night?"
..Weel, sir. I was very late of gettin'
across the ferry; and it was LANCER

village; and had a guild walk the day
already, and was tired-like. The brig

So here was the whole story. The
deep shadow on the bridge had pre-
vented me from seeing the sitter's legs;
the heavy knap-sack had given him a
hump-back; the fur cap and the glow OF
the pipe accounted for the fiery counte-
nance. With mutual explanations we
parted-he to push his sales in the
villages beyond; I, to hurry on to the
house in the glen, whose inmates at first
evinced the liveliest interest in the over
