The Life is the Blood-Prevent Disease
Surgery the Last Resort
A Telling Letter.

Here is fact for you to think over, viz; Medical
science proves that diseases, no matter how great
variety they seem to have, proceed from compare
lively few causes. II Is for this reason that some
single medicines relieve or cure so wide range OF
comp.a,ints.som OF them appearing almost directly
opposite In their natures When a medical prepare
ton acts at once upon the digestive and urinary
gans and also puriies the blood the list of dificu
ties subject to Its control is astonishing. But while
many things are said to possess this power, those
which actually do exert 1t are very rare,
1t Is conceded that DIR. KENNEDY'S FAyORITE

A New YORK Sunday-school teacher
told her pupils that when they put
their pennies into the contribution box
she wanted each one to repeat a Bible
verse suitable for the occasion. The
first boy dropped in his cent, saying
"The Lord loveth the cheerful giver."
The next boy dropped his penny into
the box, saying: "He that giveth to
the poor lendeth to the Lord. The
third and youngest boy dropped in his
penny, saying: " A fool and his money
are soon parted"

A Travelling Mountain.

Over in Churchill County, says the
Austin Reveile, there is great curiosityl
mention of which we do not remember
to have ever seen in the papers. This
curiosity is nothing more nor less than
a travelling mountain of sand. Tie
winds have gathered together a great
heap of sand and keeps it constantly
moving like an immense glacier. 1t
crawls steadily along over valleys and
through canyons, never ceasing, the
sands making low musical sound as
they rub against each other, much as
they do around the Sphynx every morn
ing at sunrise, which gave rise to the
legend that the stony statue was greet.
ing the morning sun with song. But
the moving mountain of Cburshill ecu.
tains still another pecu-.slty. While
its sides are symetrically formed and
lay in folds like solidified waves, there
is no cone at the top. Instead Of it G..
ing to a peak there is hole there made
by counter winds and whoever is rash
enough to scale the ridge and pass into
that hole pays for his rashness with his
life, for the fckel sands yield beneath
his feet and the more he struggles to
get back the faster he sinks until he is
smothered to death. The Indians tell
of several Of their tribe having been
thus swallowed up and no trace has ev.
er been found of them since.
There always seems to be wind
blowing around that heap Of sand and
round the little particles keep moving,
steadily and resistlessly going eastward.
The curiosity seeker can find this won
derful singing, travelling mountain by
leaving the Central Pacific Railroad st
Wadsworth and by passing near Rag
town on his way to Saltwater.

The Ravages Of the Cholera,

A Madrid {Spain) cable to the New York
Herald gives some thrilling details OF the
horrors Of the cholera epidemic prevailing
in Spain. 1t says: Murcia city, according
to the last cencus, has a population OF
nearly 40, 600 and the suburbs about co.
600 more. Thirty thousand persons have
fed from the place since the epidemic broke
out. FITS streets are deserted; 80 per cent
OF its stores are closed, and hardly ahouse
remains in which a cholera case has not oc.
Cured. The yellow covered stretcher on
which the choler;l-stricken sick and dead
are carried through the streets is one OF the
commonest sights. Deaths have become SO
frequent that the tolling OF the church
bells, usual there on such events, has
been forbidden. Beginning on June S, the
cholera has since then attacked 3,2l5 per-
sons in twenty-four days, and OF these l.
300 bodies have already heen buried. In
Guiding the full normal population OF near.
ly 100, 900 people, one person in each thirty
has already had the cholera, and one per-
son in each seventy-fve Of the population
has been buried within three weeks. Under
most favorable conditions &c, 900 more
deaths are expected by the physicians be-
lore the fall. A vile smell came from one OF
the many closed houses. BY order OF the
authorities the doors were forced, and the
rotting bodies of it's occupants were found.
They had apparently died OF malignant
cholera alter closing the house, and SO sud
denly that they had been unable to sum-
mon aid

THE NEWS. SUMMARIZED.
Louis Rie1 Plead. for Mercy.

= e . 3 e
6, A letter has just been received By DR.. Fis-
ct OF Quebec from Louis Rel. After speak
ing Of his ready surrender, his chance to es-
cape ii he wishes to do SO, he says he was
in the United States laboring to create q fu-
ture for himself, when he was invited
among the half-breedst to assist them in petit
tioniig the government. He worked peace
fully until the time when arms were taken
up. He says also that he never dreamed Of
war, but by intrigue and forged letters a:
complication OF affairs was brought about
by interested parties. He desired
to return to the United States,
but the people would not listen to
him. On March Is they were proceeding
to St. Laurent to celebrate the feast of St.
Joseph, and had to pass st. Antoine en-
route, when they learned that 500 police
men were coming by forced marches to dis
perse them and kill their leaders. When the
halfbreeds learned this they stopped their
wagons and made an arrest of an Indian
agent. They also made one or two other
arrests. Riel says he wasnot present when
these arrests We're made, but he was mott
fed and when he went to the place he
found the people had decided to take up
arms in their defense. In twenty four hours
the whole population were in arms. He
concludes by asking not to be treated like
q murderer, and not to be chained before
the jury have pronounced upon his case:
and feels confident they will not find him
guilty. He says his Incarceration is telling
upon his health, notwithstanding the kind
attention Of his jailers.

Relics of War.

The wounds Of four years OF war will
leave their scars On fifty years of
peace. G Not only the NAMED bodies of
the last survivors OF the old conflict,
the burden of its military debt, and the
lingering sorrow of it's victim widow
and orphans, continue to bear witness
to the calamity OF war; but the dumb
objects OF nature on the hard. fought
battle-felds preserve its history, and
testify to the violence of it's strife.
A striking illustration of the hard
legacy which war bequeaths is here
presented in the wrestling of the peace
full lumber-mill with the old trees that
stood where hostile men fired iron and
lead at each other. Cornelius Smith
has the contract for saving into lumber
a large number of logs cut from trees
standing on the field of Antietam at the
time of the battle.
File says that all sorts of missiles, from
cannon balls to bucEshot, are almost
daily met with III the timber. and that
il is really dangerous to stand near the
SAWS having been snapped into frag
meDts, by striking iron shot imbedded
IN the logs.
A large, angular fragment of shed
was struck by a saw few days ago, and
perfect shower Of sparks rained about
the mill from the contact of the metals,
the saw being finally snapped in several
pieces.
In another instance grape shot was
cut through by a saw, leaving bright,
polished surface on each hemisphere
Of the missile.

Rossa's .Assailant Acquitted.

The trial Of Mrs. Dudley in New York for
shooting O'Donovan Rosa, resulted in a
verdict OF not guilty on the ground OF in
sanity. A motion was made to send Mrs.
Dudley to the state insane asylum, which
her counsel opposed. Thelatter asked that
their client might be permitted to be re-
turned to her native country and be placed
in an institution there.
DR.. A. E. Mcdonald, superintendent OF
the asylum for the insane Oh Ward s island,
testified that he was convinced that Mrs.
Dudley was suffering from chronic mania.
Mrs. Dudley had told the witness that there
were three men she had determined
to punish with death, and that Rosa
was first on the list. DR.. William
L. Harding gave similar testimony.
Mrs. Dudley testified forherself. Among
other things, she said: If am homicidal,
1t is queer that vershotany one before?
I have carried pistol, and had it loaded,
too, since was sixteen years Of age. Atthat
age was teaching in the country, and there
was a great scare about mad dogs and n.y.
drophobia, so that everybody capable OF
carrying a revolver did SO. I gave O'Dono-
van as fair g. trial as prisoner has ever had
in your court. I shot him, and am willing
to take the consequences. l certainly shall
not appeal. Even in this land OF liberty, [
don't think q man should be permitted to
go about advising indiscrimate murder. l
did not come here to shoot him. I am a
good nurse, and was willing to take a
position here. While in prison I was per-
fectly bewildered by offers from managers
who wanted me to lecture. I answered
them all by saying that | would consent
only on condition that O'Donovan should
come with me and I would give q practical
illustration, aided by O'Donovan, OF the
effect OF dynamite upon the human frame.

The Queens Personal Appear.
anC9.

London Letter to Chicago Herald.
The queen, who looked, as I thought,
extremely gracious, when Mrs. Aston
and Mrs. White were introduced at
the drawing-room, was the center fig
ure in q setting of dazzling brilliance.
Mixed with toilettes inexpressibly gor
geous in hue, texture and ornamental.
ton, white shoulders and rounded
arms, were the varied uniforms oil
men, in all the hues Of the rainbow.
The flashes of diamonds, the glitter OF
gold and jewels, the background of ar
tistically draped and brightly colored
walls, the gentle ripple Of movement
and the softly falling music dreamily
echoing from distant corridors made
up altogether a very satisfying pro-
gramme. The queen, who is perfectly
well aware that she looks her best in
the shades OF widowhood, wore black
satin. From the regal coronet, which
spanked hundreds of diamonds and
pearls set in fine gold, flowed a majes-
tic white tulle veil. The royal throat
was encircled with q wondrous neck
lace OF glorious pearls four rows deep.
and in the tiny ears were diamonds
emitting the purest rays. The royal
person fairly blazed with ribands,
stars and orders, and I am free to
confess, inpudent republican though
am, that Victoria presented a queen
ly and majestic figure, on which the
eye dwelt with instructive respect.
She is the picture of a wholesome
woman who feeds well, sleeps well,
thinks we'll, and isfavored with sound
mind and healthy body.

Modern Church Architecture.

A New York correspondent writes:
The New York churches of the present
day are no longer being built with &C.
clesiastical towers, New England spires,
OF insignia of the faith; they are made
to resemble the Flemish town halls and
other secular buildings. have my
doubts whether we will ever see in New
York more than one great church, or
perhaps two, finished on the orthodox
plan, and both of these are Catholic
churches, one belonging to the Paulist
brothers, at the southwest angle OF
Central Park, and the other the famous
cathedral. The cathedral is really a
fine looking building, but the roof with
in is fraud instead of being made of
the stone RIBS and of stone groinings,
it is made of wood sanded to carry out
the idea to the stone work in the nave.

A WOnde rful Texa., Waterspout.

San Antonio telegram: Near Walden,
$50 miles west OF San Antonio, an east
bound freight train was struck by a water
spout. The engineer saw the waterspout
approaching, bounding along like a rubber
bali, tearing up the earth and uprooting all
in it's way. He reversed the train to avoid
the waterspout, whose course was circuit
Gus, with the column inclined and q rotary
motion. just before the waterspoutreach-
ed the line OF the road it changed its course
and bounded alongp parallel to the track with
frightful velocity. When opposite the train
the waterspout burst, deluging the engineer,
fireman and brakeman who abandoned the
train and climbed some trees to avoid a
wave OF water fully eight feet high and
about 100 feet wide. The locomotive and
fourteen cars were raised bodily and car
ried nearly 200 feet from the track, while
the road was completely obliterated. No
one was hurt. The extent Of the damage
has not yet been ascertained.
