DIR. Rosenhain, the well known and
skillful Optician, is in our midst
again, having his office at the Carter
House. Those having difficulties with
the sight. or not having the right
spcctacles, will do well to call on the
Doctor and have their eyes examined,
and through his Perfected Pebble
Lenses their sight restored. The Doc
tor has recently visited Germany, and
brings with him nice assortment of
Gold Frames and fine Eye Glasses
and Spectacles. 1t is unnecessary
for us to give the Doctor an introduce
ton to our people, as his frequent
visits have made him well known
to them, and established for him
an enviablc reputation for fair deal
ing and capacity as an Optician of
much merit.

Bishop for Africa, with DR.. Somers and
Mr.. Chateiaide of Africa, where they will
remain for short time before proceed
ing to st. Paul, Beloanda.
There arrived also at Sierra Leone
February 18th, another party of mission
aries, forty in number, on their way to
Loando. They intend to proceed toward
the interior of Africa, in hopes of meet
ing party starting from the Eastern
coast. The Consul expresses much anx-
iety for the fate of these people, sixteen
of whom are children, the two Youngest
being fifteen months and twenty-three
months old. Should they arrive at Lo-
ando they will have made q voyage of
over 200 miles from New York via Liv-
erpool. They purpose going thousand
miles at least into the interior.
The Consul says he is constantly asked
what the missionaries are going to do
with the children, and people who know
the coasts do not hesitate to say that it
is absolutely wicked to bring them out
here, where they have many chances to
die and only few to live. It would no
doubt be we'll, the Consul continues, for
missionary societies at home to consider
well before they continue the expenses
and responsibilities of sending expedi-
tions to the fields of Africa. He hopes for
the best, but says he is prepared to hear
sad news within a year ffbm this little
band, who 60 out with light hearts, not
knowing what is before them.

Pleuro-Pneumonia Among Cattle.


st. Louie, April 4.-The definite deter
Elimination of the existence of pleuro
pneumonia in Galloway county, this State
and the action at the meeting Of stock men
and others held few days ago at Fulton
where the disease was discovered, has at.
trsctsd good deal of attention in different
parts of the State, and meetings have been
held in two or three counties contiguous
to Galloway to devise means for protection
against herds in that county.
It is not unlikely that Galloway
county will be quarantined against
by the other counties, but the general i'm.
preston seems to be that there is not only
no good reason for the other States to quar-
rantine against Missouri, but that such &C.
ton would be very detrimental to her gen.
eral interests, and unwarranted by existing
circumstance. Governor Marmaduke has
been giving this subjectpartioular and earn
est study for some time past, and tonight
sent the following dispatch to Governor
Martin, of Kansas.
JEFFERSON CRY, Mo-, April 4, 1885.
Gov. John A. Martin, Topeka:
Your State Veterinary Surgeon, DR.. Hol-
comb, has ere this doubtless advised you of
his observations and views concerning
pleuro-pneum0nis, now in this State. l,
matter all the attention in my power, and
up to date my information il that it only
exists in Galloway county, and
the most efficient and prompt meth
DDS are being taken to stamp it out, follow
it up and crush it out wherever it may be
found. In the interest of the general pub
Lie, trust you will not entertain the pro-
position to quarantine against this State,
for it only obstructs commerce, and / am
sure it is not needed q matter of protect
ion. Twill keep you faithfully sdvised on
this subject.

THE supposed petritied bodies of a
man and woman, reported found in San.
ia Barbara county, Cal, by prospectors
for mines, turn out to be forgeries-the
work of an Italian sculptor, who cut
them from large block of gypsum in
order to advertise the quality of mine
of that material. His son and others
took the figures from his workshops,
them in a cannon, and returned under
assumed names. The find then followed.
The sculptor has exposed the deception
practiced with the aid of these products
of his chisel, not from any twinges OF
conscience, but because the confederates
have not paid him his share of the gate

A S1crLIAN priest named Failla, on
drinking out of the sacramental cup and
consuming every particle, tasted some
thing bitter. On the termination OF the
mass he was attacked by severe pains in
the bowels, and died in few minutes
in the sacristy. A post norton examin-
alton proved that the unfortunate priest
had been poisoned by strychnine, and,
on examining the pyx infinitely, some
particles of strychnine were discovered.
Suspicion fell upon the canon of the
church, who cherished hatred against
the deceased. He was arrested and sent
to prison, where he remained nearly
two years until last week, when for want
of proof he was discharged. Meantime,
it is beyond doubt" says the Roma,

AN INSANE MANS ADVENTURE.
A Wealthy Iowa WidoY Finds Her Son Az
ter Many Years

A Wealthy Iowa WidOV Finds Her Son Al
ter Many Years.
A few days ago there arrived in Chi
cago middle-aged man to whose hat
and coat were attached cards inscribed
"Austin Dallason, Chicago, Conductors
look after; demented." He was brouph
to a designated hotel by men attached to
the train that had Just arrived from the
East. They said he had been put aboard
the train at Elmira, N. Y, by Superin-
tendent Moody, of the Bradford county
pa Poorhouse. They were met at the
hotel by a man who relieved them of
their charge, and later in the day the
two took train for Iowa.
They were traced by newspaper men.
and to-day the following facts were as
certained: For seventeen years Austin
Dallason had been an inmate of the
Bradford county poorhouse. The little
known of him was that during the rebel.
lion he had served in the Union army
and was with Sherman on the march to
the sea. One day foraging party, of
which he was one, raided q farm. and
Dallason was struck on the head bv a
woman on the farm. The blow affected
his reason, and soon after he wandered
into Bradford county, where he became
helplessly idiotic, and as nothing could
be learned in regard to him, be was
placed in the poerhouse.
A resident of Bradford county. ~bo
was travelling in the West fs,x veets
ago, overheard in small .;;iilaee in Iowa
some one mention tie name OF Mrs. Dai.
ason. He found that a widow bv that
name, the wealthiest person in the place
had son Austin who had enlisted in the
lrmy when the war broke out and never
heard OF him since. She supposed that
ne had been killed. He.told of the in
nate Of the poor-house of Bradford conn
y, and, a. there seemed to be no doubt |
mar ne was her long missing son, she
forwarded money to provide for and nav
lis way to Chicago, where he was met by |
person who came on for that purpose. |
he is the only legal heir to his mothers
wealth, which ia large.

BELLE BINNEY, aged II, and attending
the Maysville, KY, public school, reads
with her book upside down, and while
writing she invariably places the copy in
the same position, writing backward,
with the letters inverted and with her
left hand. DR.. Hamilton, President OF
the Board of Education, tested her
thoroughly the other day with figures,
pictures, reading and writing, and dis
covered that she was equally skillful
with her books in any position. The
doctor pronounces it one of the most re-
markable cases of the kind on record.

among the officers before their departure,

Worse than Firearms.

The editor of an Omaha paper, in
commenting On several cases in that
city where children died from the effects
of taking cough syrup containing NOR
phia, remarks that opiates, poisons and
narcotics are more dangerous than fire,
arms. Mothers should note this and
furthermore that different Boards of
Health, after making careful analyses
have certified that the only purely vege-
table preparation of this kind, and one
that is in every way harmless, prompt
and effective, is Red Star Cough Cure.
Mayor Latrobe of Baltimore, and the
Commissioner Of Health, have publicly
endorsed this valuable discovery.
