The Story of a Robust Bow,

Willie White, a boy of seven years,
has been afflicted with acrofula ever
eince he was three months old. His
scalp was last year almost a mass of
sores. One Of his eyes was perma.
nsntly injured, and his jaw running
i'll huge sores. In September last he
commenced to take Swift's Specific
under my direction. To-day he ie a
fat, equabby, robust boy. Hisjaw is
we'll and his head is covered with a
fine coat of hair. There is little
dryness about the scalp. This is the
only sign of the terrible disease left.
His mother desires me to thank the
propristors of Swift's Specific very
heartily, and says she is 30 grateful
that words cannot express it. 1a

The Western Cattle Business.

ST. Louis, July l6.-Reports received at the
general Office, here, of the National Cattle and
Horse growers Association, from various cattle
raising regions in the West. are generally of a
most favorable character Vice president Pryor,
of Colorado, writes that the range is fine and
that cattle are fattening rapidly. General rains
have prevailed, and ali our cattle men are jubi
liant over the prospect for good year. A great
many native and wintered Texas cattle are leav-
ing for the northwestern Territories and all
movements of cattle being made in compli-
ance with the law and without molestation. No
fever has yet developed in any herds in this
section. Vice president Milne, of New Mexico,
reports healthy condition Of cattle in that Ter
ritory, and that the crops will be % per
cent. greater than last year. Vice-presi
dent Herman, of Idaho, says while
little rain has fallen lately the grass is fine, cat
tie are doing splendidly; there is no disease
among them, and the men feel very much
encouraged by the outlook for the present sea-
son. Large numbers of stock cattle are being
shipped from western Idaho and Nevada to
Wyoming. Vice-president Russell, of Nevada
reports better condition of both the range and
cattle than for several years, and says though
the hay crop on the river bottoms will be lighter
than usual the quality will be better, and
greater number of cattle men will put up hay
for winter feeding than ever before. All these
gentlemen say the national cattle mems conven-
tion to be held here next November, is looked
forward to with great interest, and that the at
tendance will be largely increased over that of

ACCORDING to Democratic leader in Brook
Ign politics, Secretary Whitney has given his
pledge that all the Republican foremen in the
Brooklyn navy-yard shall be speedily dis
charged and their places filed by Democrats.
The new foremen will at once discharge the
Republican laborers and give their places to
men who will vote on election days as the bosses
tell them. It will now be in order for the
mugwump journals to explain that this move
ment of the administration in the interests of
''reform" is made without Mr.. Cleveland's
knowledge, or that he is again being deceived
bv wickt men. 1t will be remembered that,
according to these journals, the President does
not countenance any meddling with politics
on the part of his staff.

A Deputy Marshal Killed by MOonshiners.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 16.-The greatest in
terest is manifested concerning the fate Of
United States Deputy Marshal W. Lee Miller.
No one however dares go out and solve the
mystery in the locality in which he is supposed
to have been killed None but the most desper-
ate characters infest the moonshners' district
where he went. What may have become Of
Miller will never be known. unless the govern
ment shall authorize posse to ferret out the
mystery. The universal opinion is that he was
killed by moonshiners and his remains placed
where they can never be found. Illicit distiller-
les have increased to 100 in the middle district
of Tennessee, with an immediate prospect OF
400 more. 1t is predicted that with the i'm
mense crop of corn, the number will reach lOOO,
which will greatly depress legitimate trade.

E,METTsBURG, Md. July 16-Forty years
ago David Gamble, a wealthy farmer near here
made coffin, in which he slept every night
without failure His novel bed was chosen, he
said, as a constant reminder that death is al
ways near. His desire to impress this fact upon
himself was owing to the sudden death of his
wife, lady of thirty years, who was killed by
heart disease just before he made the coffin.
They had been to ball. and after returning
home retired to bed. Fifteen minutes later Mr.
Gamble found that his wife was dead The
shock was believed by many to have unsettled
his reason He always kept his coffin thereafter
in the corner Of his dinneroom He would get
into it early at night and pull the lid up until
only his face was exposed to view. One day he
had a travelling photographer take view Of him
as he lay III the coffin. This picture he had
framed and hung over the dining room mantle
piece. Last night he retired to his coffin at the
usual hour, but when the servant called him this
morning it was found that he was dead. The
body was not disturbed, and it will be buried as
it was found. Mr.. Gamble, therefore, literally
prepared himself for the grave. even TO the ar
rangement of his shroud. He was a man Of far
reaching charitable habits, and much liked.

A "RAsCAL" has been found at last, or at
least federal officer who deserves to be dis
charged; but, unfortunately, he was appointed
by Mr.. Cleveland. We refer to John r. Lair
kin, postmaster at Pittsburg. His offense is
dual one. Soon after his appointment, two
months ago, he appointed Republican dep
uty. This set the Pittsburg Democrats
frantic until he explained that it was only
temporary arrangement. Subsequently a
party of rich Democrats were kind enough to
volunteer to 60 on his bond, the amount fixed
by law being 100000. Again they were dis
comfted, for he informed them that he had
already filed his bond with ample security.
This was something they couldn't understand,
SO they sent to Washington to learn who his
indorsers were, when it was reported that
every one of them had been a Re-
publican for not less than quarter of
a century, Chris Magee, ''of the Cameron
ring" as they put it, being his principal
surety in the sum Of $4,000. AS soon as
they could recover from the blow between the
eyes they sent up howl calculated to unsettle
the armament. AS yet no complaint has
been made against the efficiency of the Off
cal nor against the quality Of his bond, but
the idea of a Democratic postmaster being
backed by Republicans is too much, and the
attention of the President will ho ballad 10
the matter. 1t is one Of the most astounding
revelations yet made, and no good Pittsburg
Democrat will sleep in peace until this mon
strous wrong is made right.

CHICAGO furnishes the names Of thirteen
boys who have died Of lockjaw since July 4,
from wounds received from toy pistols on that
day. The wounds in themselves are trivial,
but in many instances the nerves are injured,
and the composition of the explosive cap
seems to irritate them to the degree that
tetanus results and horrible death ensues.
This dangerous plaything and torpedoes hay

to the opinion given by the Attorney general,
has provoked widespread indignation among

tell why, with very disagreeable results to
Democracy. The conspiracy against the

Trying to Eject Young Man Whom He Dis
liked from Sunday School.

TRENTON, N. j., July 16-The story of an exct-
ing little episode at St Pauls Episcopal Church on
Sunday last has gone into general circulation
here to-day. This is the church that was under
the care of Rev. Mr. Williamson, who committed
suicide last fall It remained without resident
rector till short time since, when Rev. Mr.
Post young Philadelphia clergyman, took
charge. 1t is said that he had some difficulty
with Philadelphia congregation and he has not
been popular with& his people here Robert J.
Meter, young man employed as salesman in
one of Trentons leading dry goods stores, left
st. Pauls and attended service at an
other Episcopal church. On Sunday last
he visited ST. Paul's Sunday school
with a friend but avoided Rev Mr.. Post whose
acquaintance he had never formed. Mr. Post
approached him and tried to force converse
ton. Mr.. Meter replied with an uncomplimen-
tary remark and turned his back to the clergy
man. This apparently angered Mr.. Post, who
promptly seized Mr.. Meter around the waist
with both arms and attempted to eject him from
the room. Both are young men of light build
and medium height The clergyman, however,
mad secured an advantage by grasping the lay
man from the rear Mr. Meter resisted and in
the struggle he was thrown against glass door,
which was shattered. Several gentlemen pres
ent then asked Mr.. Meter, for the sake Of
peace, 70 retire. but the ladies generally en-
couraged him to maintain his ground. lie de-
cided, however, to withdraw, now that he stood
master of the situation. The occurrence almost
put an end to Sunday school lessons for the day.
and it has since been the engrossing topic in
the congregation and among church people gen.
the story as given above. He lays the whole
blame on Rev. Mr.. Post against whom he says
some severe things. Rev. Mr.. Post declines to
say anything touching the case

proceeded to live at the expense of her
parents. On Wednesday, after months of
abuse, he attempted to kill her and then com
mitted suicide. This lesson will have little
influence, for the reason that few fool girls

SARAH BERNHARDT is nothing if not outre.
While playing in London she resides at Rich
mond. ten miles out The other night she missed
the last train, and was obliged to hire private
conveyance Half way there the driver lost the
way, and threatened to turn back. Just then a
fire-engine belonging in Richmond came along,
and she begged place in the drivers seat, and
she entered the town with grand hurra. The
cabby could very easily have followed the en-
CINE, but that would not do. Had she been in

rate will be we'll enough when the
government can afford it, but it is
difficult to see where the advantages are to

there is no general demand for any further
reduction Of postage the great majority Of
