CARGO ON FIRE.
A Steamer Valued at 100000 With a
Valuable Cargo in Danger.

GALVESTON, Nov. "a.
Steamer Rio Grande, Capt, Lewis, which
arrived at Key West, Monday afternoon,
with her cargo on fire, cleared from this port
last Friday and sailed at 8 o'clock that even
ing. She is an iron built screw steamer of
2048 tons and carried 1000 bales of cotton
and general cargo of other merchandise.
Her cargo was valued at $3.50, 900, and is in
sured, chiefly in foreign companies, for about
S220,000. Her cotton was largely consigned
to English firms, and so per cent of the same
was billed directly from interior points. 1t
is feared the fire will seriously damage her.
She is valued at 100000. The Malroy
Steamship Co. has been unfortunate with
their fine fleet. In 1872 they lost the Var
una, with all on board; in 1875 the City of
Waco was burned, not soul escaping; in
1881 the City of Galveston went down in the
Bahamas, and last spring the Guadadoupe
was wrecked off the New Jersey coast.

NATIONAL CATTLE GROWERS.
A Protest Against the Animal Industry
Bill.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. "a.
At today's session of the National Cattle
Growers convention Mr.. Coy of the Chicago
live stock exchange read papers in which he
expressed decided opposition to the animal
industry bill as now in operation, as calcu-
lated to create a panic in cattle industry in
stead of lasting benefits, inasmuch as indus
try is practically at the mercy of veterinarians
who are given to sensational reports of the
existence CT pleuro- pneumonia, when nothing
more dangerous than lung fever, the result
Of overdriving, is in sight. The speaker
cited several instances Of far-reaching and
most disastrous panics created by the stupid
ity of so-called government experts, and he
asserted that there has never been, east OF
the Rocky Mountains, case of that form of
pleuro-pneumOnia which ravaged Europe and
Australia.

wordy quarrel from some unknown cause at

how like god! the benuty of the worid! the
paragon ofanimats: :-SHAKESPEARE.
How beautiful are the above
lines uttered by the worlds great
est mind How infinite the scope
of mans power if his faculties are
well preserved. Nothing, short of
creation, is to him impossible.
Our soul is lost in admiration when
we contemplate the possibilities of
this greatest exhibition of Infinite
Power. Yet what is this "quint-
essence of dust when blasted by
disease-his noble functions per-
verted or destroyed?
AS "all men are born free and
equal" as far as moral rights are
concerned, so likewise we hold
they should be born physically, but
as long as children must suffer for
the sins of their parents this can
not be. That the human race has
deterorated physically is a conced-
ed question. To restore it is an
impossibility, as long as people
persist in immortality and indul-
gences which are in disregard of
natures laws. The most we can
do then is to ameliorate this con-
dition, and cure disease in indi-
viduals.
To this end we offer to the pub
lie, remedies which have done more
good-accomplisbed better results
in overthrowing disease than any
others which have been discovered
up to the present time, viz:
DR.. FLOWERS LIVER AND
STOMACH SANATIVE, AND
NERVE PILLS.
The former is an infallible
remedy for all affections of the
Liver and Stomach, and is besides
an invaluable general tonic. The
latter is reliable cure for all
nervous diseases and conditions,
such as Hysteria, Sleeplessness,
Nervous Prostration, Depression
caused by overwork, etc.
These remedies are extensively
prescribed by physicians, a recon-
mendation which does not obtain
with any other proprietary article }
and command at the hands of the
druggists in New England larger

Robert Hunter, Walter Gloves and Peter

Gould Tuesday morning. Hunter and Cloves
were sentenced to the Reform School during
their minority. All three boys occupied the
same cell during the night and when Hunter
and Cloves were taken out and Miller left
alone, the latter became frightened and en-
deavored to beat his way out through the iron
barred door. Mllers fright became greater
when he found that his efforts were unsuc-
cessful, and he went insane. Had it not been

key it is thought that serious injuries would

IN CoNvICT's DRESS PICKING OAKUM.
Mr.. Stead, the convict editor of the London
Pail Mall Gazette, was interviewed in the
Coldbath Fields Prison day or two ago.
His warder was present at the interview,
and the visitor was not allowed to shake
hands with the prisoner. Mr.. Stead was in
prison garb, consisting of a Glengarry cap,
loose fitting yellow colarless jacket; stamp
ed on the left breast with "Circle R 2, Stroke
S." baggy, coarse yellow trousers, bearing
the government broad arrow, and oversided
patched boots His hair was cropped short.
MIR. Stead appeared to be suffering severely
from cold, his hands being tucked in his
capacious sleeves for warmth. He was in
fairly good spirits, however. Mr.. Stead is
allowed Bible in his cell, but the light is
not sufficient to enable him to read it. His
breakfast consists of thin porridge and
brown bread, dinner of suet pudding and
supper of porridge and brown bread. He
sees nobody between six p. N. and six a. m.
Mr. Steads daily task is to pick one pound
of oakum. The ordinary prisoners have to
pick three pounds. The sentences of all
prisoners date from the first day of the ses
sion of the court, which this year was Octo.
ber 10. Mr.. Stead will, therefore, be re-
leased on January 10.

CALLING THE DOCTOR.

The following item from the Louisville
Medical News illustrates one of the ways in
which medicine is practiced in that city:
The other morning, as belated member
of the Owl Club was steering home through
the dense fog, which the writer is reliably
informed hangs over the city at q. ~, he
passed the house of well-known physician.
The vestibule Of this residence was open,
and on its side the dim rays of the moon,
struggling through the gloom produced by
the efforts of the city gas company, di5cos-
ed the mouth of an acoustic tube, under
meath which was the inscription, "Whistle
for DR.. Potts"
Not wishing to be disobliging about so
small matter the Owl stumbled up the
steps, and steadying himself against the
wall, blew into the pipe with all the strength
of bis lungs.
The physician, who was awakened by the
resultant shril whistle near his head, arose !;
and after wondering at the singular odor Of
whiskey in the room, groped his way to the
tube and shouted, "Well."
"Glad to know you're well,' was the re-
ply; "but, being doctor. s'pose you can
keep we'll at cost price, can't you?"
"What do you want?" said the man Of
pills, not caring to joke in the airy nothing
of his nlghtgoWn.
"Well," said the party at the other end Of
the tube, after few moments meditation.
"Oh, by the way, are you young Potts or old
Potts?''
81 am DR.. Potts. There is no young
Potts"
''Not dead, hope?"
"There never was any. have no SON."
"Then you are young Potts and old Potts
hor ci, ~
What do you want?" snapped the doc
tor, who was beginning to feel as though
his legs were pair of elongated icicles.
you know old Mrs. Peavine, who lives
in the next bock?"
"Yes. Is she sick? What's the matter?"
"Do you know her nephew, too-Bill
Briggs?"
Eyes. Well?"
"Well, he went up to Bridgeport, shoot
ing, this morning, and ="
"And he had an accident? Hold up a
minute. I'll be right down."
mo, he's all right; but he got sixty.two
ducks-egh of 'em mallards. I thought
you might like to hear it,"
And the joker hung on to the nozzle and
laughed like hyena digging up a fat mis-
sionary.
II say" came down from the exasperated
NJ. D., "that's q jolly good joke, my friend.
Won't you take something's"
"What2" said the surprised humorist,
pausing for breath.
"Why, take something. Take this"
And before the disgusted funny man could
withdraw his mouth hastily compounded
mixture of ink, ipecac and asafetida squirt
ed from the pipe and deluged him from
head to foot, about pint monopolizing his
shirt.front and collar.
And while he danced frantically around,
sponging himself off with his handkerchief,
and swearing like pirate in the last act,
he could hear an angel voice from above
sweetly murmur:
Have some more? No? Woll, good
night. Come. again soon, you funny dog,
you. By-bye."
