ROBERT SMEDLEY'S
Testimony as to Cancer Cure.

my friends made Il critical eXamina

cided that it looked better, and pre-
vailed on me to continue the medi
cine. With the fourteenth bottle
the cancer began to heal rapidly
and soon disappeared, and for sew
eral months there has been no ar
pEearance of IA sore of any kind Oh

ATOUGH STORY.
Effects Of Thaw.

"Speaking Of snow" said Dick
Sellers to a Ners reporter, "re
minds me of a trip in May, 1880,
when | and my friend, the Doctor
we're going over Marshall Pass
from South Arkansas to Gunnison
City. Early II evening, after Il
long days journey through the
snow, we selected a place to pitch
our tent among a lot of sage brush,
as a convenience for fuel, not hav
ing sect any trees since we left
the top of the range. We tied tent
ropes securely to the brush, set mp
our sheet iron stove in one corner
and laid out our blankets in the
ether.
During the day it had been IN
usually warm, and shortly after sup
per began raining, so that we reti
red early, and we're soon dreaming
of the pies and cakes we had when
boys way back in Ohio.
$50 fatigued were We that Meth
er awoke until late the next morn
ing, when | became sensitive to a
cramping sensation in my neck. Oh
opening my eyes the tent seemed
to be six or eight feet above ne
My feet were propped up at al
angle of about forty degrees, while
my neck was lodged between the
limbs OF a huge tree. l extricated
myself the best l could, and strad
ding "A limb. fully realized for the
first time just where l was. An i'm
mcnse thaw had set in during the
night, and, assisted by the heavy
rains, had gradually melted the
snow and left US forty feet above
terra frma in the top branches of
a tree, which we had the evening
before mistaken for sage brush.
How to wake the doctor was a
conundrum. He was suspended =
little to my left, still holding the
blankets close to his chin. A limb
had fortunately caught him under
each arm, leaving his feet straight
down. Our stove sat smoking in
the tent directly over us on the
very top branches. Crawling ont
to the doctor l awoke him, assist
him to a stouter limb, aud taking a
birds.eye.view Of the situation, we
began to draw our conclusions as
to the best way of getting our
things ldown, fearing to 60 any
higher mp the tree. We finally slid
down to the ground where we fortu
nately found our axe which had fal
len through. With this we chopped
down the tree, secured our things,
somewhat damaged by the fall and
continued our journey without Ell
countering any sn0w."-Dencer

THE SILVER. QUESTION.

The question or manufacturing
$4,000, 900 OF silver every month, as
has been the law for some time is
not a question, as parties now exist.
The President, in his message to
Congress, al under the necessity
Of expressing his views, on that
subject. No matter what position
he assumed he would have met
with a strong opposition, III his own
party and a firm support in the Re
publican party. He has taken the
ground that tue coinage of silver
dollars should be stopped. Now,
the fight begins. II looks very
much as if he will not be sustained
III Congress, although he will have
Il strong support fro Republicans.
The entire West is almost solid
against any cessation of the coin
age of silver, whilst only in New
York and the East will be found
anything approaching unanimity
in the opposite direction. 1t will
be il hard contest, bnt not Il party
battle.
1t is Il little singular that the al
vocates Of gold currency are contin
ually harping upon a theory that the
silver dollar is only worth s. or sc
cents, when its agents refuse to
give silver for gold at 100 cents on
the dollar. Gold is refused daily,
in New Orleans United States of
fees at its face, and will he taken
only at its weight.
Silver is good enough for us,
down here, and if we never saw IA
piece of gold it would not make any
material difference.
The financial question is one that
il rather difficult for most men to
comprehend.
It will be a safe plan, however,
for the agricultural communities.
who have not time or ability to di
gest this knotty question, to per
nit the New York fnanciers apd
millionaires to recommend financial
measures, and then--go against
them with all their power.
1t is generally supposed that
when there is a surplus of money
in circulation articles of commerce
aud trade will advance in price. 1t
would seem, therefore, that if the
opponents of silver coinage are cor
rect in their assertion that there is
too much money in circulation now,
that merchandise would advance.
Facts disprove such assertions to
day.
II silver is worth only Sc cents
on the dollar, why is 1t the Govern
ment Offices refuses to give silver
dollars at Sc cents for gold dollars
at 100 cents.
Truly this financial question is a
curious problem.
Greenbacks aud silver will do
very we'll in Louisiana.

New YORK July 30-When The Century pub
lished General Grants article on Fort Donelson,
in December. 1854. it contained autograph
copy Of the famous unconditional surrender let
ter. The article said that one knew where
the original letter was. The letter read:

General :. b. EucEner, Confederate Army:

Lawyer D. c. Kilbourne, of Litchfeld, Conn,
saw the article, and wrote to the publishers of
the Century that he knew where the original
letter was. DR.. J. X Wallace, Of Pantam, near
Litchfold, married Danbury lady, who was the
cousin of the wife of General Rawlins, Grants
chief staff and Secretary of War. When
General Rawlins died, in July. 1879. he was
attended by Dir. Wallace and the Doctor says
Rawlins gave him the letter in November 1873,
with a remark that it would some time be valua-
bic. The Century sent to Mr.. klIb0urne. secured
the letter for one day, and had fac smile made
C. l.. Webster. of the firm which is publishing
Grants memoirs. went to Waterbury yesterday
and drove over to Pantam in the afternoon to
see the letter DR.. Wallace showed the docu-
ment, aud Mr. Webster recognized its genuine
ness at glance DR.. Wallace said he had
had an offer Of $40 for it from n New York man,
now dead. He had refused $50 for it, offered
by the Webster Publishing Company. Mr.
Webster offered him yesterday 5000 for it, which
was finally accepted.
Dir. Webster returned to New York to-day,
with the valuable letter He says he will sail foo
Europe Saturday with four complete copies
of the first volume Of the memoirs for transla-
ton. The plates for England and Australia Will
be made in New York and forwarded to be
printed there for the other countries they will be
translated. Mr.. Webster says that on Saturday
before the Generals death he showed him the
proof sheets Of the first volume, and together
they revised them, even to the last pages. Grant
put Shermans name on one Of the maps, which
has since been mortised into the plate 1t was
Mr. Webster's intention to present the General
with the first copy of the first volume this week.
Grant opposed to illustrating the books, but
left it to the publishers judgment When asked
If he wanted Rosecran's picture to appear in it
