Is the name of ,flourishing village in
Brunswick and Albany railroad.
Mr.. D. Z. Gaskin, we'll known citi-
zen of that village, writes under date OF
December %:
Soan after my marriage, about four
wears ago. my wife was stricken with
some trouble peculiar to her sex, which
broke down her general health. In this
condition she was soon after attacked with
Ir flammatory Rheumatism of such Il
severe type that it made her Il cripple.
She was reduced in flesh to sixty-iive
pounds. and came very near losing her
life. She was attended by three go' d
physicians who treated her with some
benefit, but the swelling in her joints
never left her Last Summer the kheu-
matism returned in still more severe
and painful form which seemed to defy
the skill Of all tho doctors. She would
almost go frantic with pain, and would
lie and scream all day. a friend OF mine,
who is an engineer on the Brunswick Il
Albany railroad, suggested that should
use Switt's Specific Is. S. 81, which l did.
Alter she had take one small bottle she
was up and able to walk over the house,
and after taking the six small bottles she
is now able to do any Kind Ol llh'iSe worH
the swelling has gone, all the pain has
left her, and she is in letter health than
she ever was. The treatment before using
the Swift's Specific cost me between S3o0
to s4OU, and the six bottles of S. S. S. cost
me six dollars.
It is certainly tho most wonderful
medicine and the best blood purifier in
the world The proprieiorS should let the
world know about it.

Our readers can amuse themselves by
solving the following problem, which, it
is said, is based upon an actual transac-
ton, and has never been settled satisfac-
torily to one Of the two parties to the
contract: A and farm together on
shares, each to bear half the expenses
and each to receive onc-half the crop
made. Besides this joint farm, A works
another farm in the nejghborhood, in
which B has no interest. During the
Summer, B, who is managing the joint
farm, borrows two of AS laborers for one
day to work on the joint farm, aud pays
back the loan to A some time later by
sending him two laborers from the joint
farm to work on his individual farm for
one day. Query: What did A make or
lose by the transaction?

Important dispatches passed between

An explosion in the secretary's depart

secretary ard principal clerk, received
severe scalp wound aud is suffering
from conclusion of the brain. 1t is now
regarded as certain that gun cotton or
dynamite was the cause of the explo-
sion. Mr.. Swainsen's room was com.
pletely wrecked and the adjacent cor
ridor was badly damaged. A critical
examination into the cauae is now in
progress. No one has bsen arrested, nor
is any one detained on suspicion. No
clue of any kind has yet been obtained,
At 2:30 Swanson, who has been restor-

that the explosive was thrown into the
room through the window. His room
was on the ground floor and i'm

FIT. SMITH, Ark, April 27.-In the
U. s. court today Judge Parker de-
cided an interesting point bearing up
on the boomer problem. The ques
ton at issue is the case Of Ex-parte
Rogers, who was one of the jurisdic--
tion over the Cherokee outlet and de-
pended upon the ownership of that
tract. Judge Parker ruled that the
Cherokee nations title to the out let
is "just as certain, fixed, extensive
and perpetual SIS its title
to its other lands and
the outlet has never been parted
with by the Cherokees. He further
declared that the Cherokees hold their
lands by base and qualified fee, not
with the right of reversion in the
United States but only the possibility
of reyerSion in IT.

FOREIGN.

DISPATCHES from Croastadt state that
the Russian fleet there has been ordered
to prepare for war instantly, and that
thirty-two Russian men-of-war have
hoisted their flags and put to sea.
THE Aneer, owing to the opposition
of his subjects. is reluctant TO allow
British troops to enter Afghanistan,
which, il is feared, would cause a rebel
lion, the Ameer bSirg unpopular. The
Amser is willing to cede PSnjaeh 10
Russia in return for her evacuation of
the Zulficar passes, which commands
the road to Herat. A difficulty arises
from the refusal of the Russian war
party to consent to a withdrawal from
Zulficar. 1t is believed that NJ De Giers'
party is inclined to support this policy,
believing that the English are inclined
to give way.
THE situation of the Russian-Afghan
question has again become very serious,
owing to Russia decreasing her demands
TO such an extent that it will be impossi-
BILE for England to accept such terms.
NJ. De Giers, the Russian Premier, who
is evidently determined to prefit by his
recent successes in negotiating with the
English foreign office, has apparently
decided not to yield q single iota TO Earl

"You talk about dogs" said the

dog"
"Did you.know the dog 7" said the
doctor
II did,"
"Was j: terrier, or pointer, or a
bulldogH'
1T was Dapdie Dinmont."
Good, " said the doctor; they're a
very trut full breed"
This dog belonged to friend of
mine who used always to take him out
with him"
"a bad habit" put in the doctor;
you should never let dog know
too much"
''The dog used to wait outside tor
him when he went In to call on a
friend. One night they were a very
merry party and they kept it up late.
Ny friend got very drunk. The dog
Snally got restless and began to howl.
A champagne bottle passed bis nose
and he smelt 1t and shut up. About 9
o'clock in the morning my friend
came out. He said goodnight, shut
the door, walked in by the garden
gate all over the flower beds, and
finally, unable to get Out, he lay down
on rose bush and went TO sleep. The
dog watched by him till the milkman
came along in the morning, picked
him up and took him home"
That's nothing" said the doctor.
'You Just wait minute. Two or
tarsc nights later he went and called
on his friend again and took the dog
with HIM. The dog waited outside a
little while and began TO howl. An
other champagne bottle was thrown
at him. He smelt it, winked to him
self and trotted off. He went home,
scratched at the door till the servant
girl opened it. attracted my friends
wife's attention, made her follow him
to pile of planks and whined till
they got very long and broad one.
Then he directed them to wkere his
master was, and when the
door-bell rang and the door
opened, the jewellers found the
dog, my friends wife, the servant and
stretcher. The dog knew what was
needed, you betn
