Among the many proposed memorials
there is one being agilatci in New
York which reflects great credit upon
its projectors 1t is to bca memorial
fountain to the late Jerry McAulcy.
Jerry did not lead nm army, nor did lac
distinguish himself in affairs Of state;
yet ne accomplished u great deal that
was meritorious during q portion Of
his life. He began rs badly a. 1t IS
possible for any one to begin, but he
ended his existence while engaged in a
noble work When he reformed he
determined to devote the remainder of
his life TO aiding others to come up out
of the slough of crime and vice, He
established "a little mission in one OF the
worst sections of the city and there
struggled braycly for his fellow man.
He wrought great good. He was no
emotional boy-prcOcher nor meta
phorical Sam Jones, but plain, earn
est and practical worker. He reclaimed
and added many who were in the grip
of Satan and on the brink of sheol.
BY all means let the Jerry McAuloy
fountain he erected.

THE controversy between Germany
and Spain relative to the Caroline Is
lands has brought out some facts of his.
toric interest concerning them which
may not he new and yet are not widely
known. There are evidences that some
of the islands Of this group were once
pcoplcd with a superior race, now no
more, or so degenerate as TO be practi-
cally extinct. Remains of ancient tenn.
pies have been discovered, indicating
as high a degree of mechanical art as
was required in the construction of the
pyramids, one stone in particular being
mentioned that is thirty-five feet long,
fifteen feet high and twenty feet in
thickness. While the powers are dis
putting over the present title to this
property, in itself of apparently little
worth to anybody, the archGologist
will be more interested to know what
sort of hosting apparatus the original
Carolinians had for handling rocks of
such enormous size and weight. The
mysteries Of the past are quite as inn
pcnctrube as those of the future.

The customs district over which the
collector of III Paso, Texas, is called to
preside doesn't measure much in
breadth, comparatively speaking, but,
from the mouth of the Pecos River to
FortYuma, is fully fifteen hundred miles
long. With this extended border line to
patrol, which the collector is expected
todowith aforce of only twenty men, and
on the other side of the Rio Grandc u
protective tariff that would make n

wonder is it that the smuggling of va
rious kinds of prohibited merchandise
from the United States to Mexico has
become one Of the thriving industries
of the Southwest?

ment. but I am prepared to fully verify
it. Bright's disease has no distinctive
symptoms of its own, (indeed, it often
develops without any pain whatever in
the kidneys or their vicinity,) but has
the symptoms of nearly every other com
mon complaint Hundreds of people die
daily, whose burials are authorized by
phvsician's certificate as occurring from
ssHeart Disease, p "Apoplexy," "Paral-
ysis, "Spinal Complaint" "Rheuma-
tism. y" Pneumonia" and other common
complaints, when in reality it is from
Bright's disease of the kidneys. Few
physicians, and fewer people, realize the
extent of this disease, or its dangerous
and insidious nature. 1t steals into
the system like a thief, manifests
it's presence, if at all, by the COM
monest symptoms and fastens itself upon
the constitution before the victim is
awar of it. 1t is nearly as hereditary as
consumption, quite as common and fully
as fatal. Entire families, inheriting
it from their ancestors, have died, and
vet none of the number knew or realized
the mysterious power which was remov-
ing them. Instead of common symptoms
it often shows none whatever, but brings
death suddenly, from convulsions, apo
pleXy, or heart disease. AS one who has
suffered, and knows by bitter experience
what he says, | iinplore everyone who
reads these words not to neglect the
slightest symptoms of kidney difficulty.
Certain agony and probable death will
be the sure result of such neglect, and
no one can afford to hazard such
chances.
| am aware that such an unqualified
statement as this, coming from me,
known as l am throughout the entire
land as practitioner and lecturer, will
arouse the surprise and possible animos-
ity of the medical profession, and aston
ish all with whom | am acquainted, but
make the foregoing statements based
upon facts which am prepared to pro-
duce, and truths which l can substanti-
ate to the letter. The welfare of those
who may possibly be sufferers, such as 1
was, is an ample inducement for me to
take the step have, and if l can sue

willing to endure all professional and

WILD COWBOYS.
Mrs. Langtry's Experience in
Wyoming Territory.

The London Void gives the following
interesting account Of her experience
while passing through Wyoming Terrific
ry en- route to San Francisco:
Mn. Langtry once experienced a great
fright from a cowboy Iris fairly well
known in this country. or at least it ought
to be, that the herismen. or cowboys"
as they are locally called on the cattle
ranches Of the far west, are objects of
terror to the less adventurous inhabitants
OF those regions. They live up in the
mountains, and only at rare intervals
com into the more populated districts,
where their wild looks and wilder ways
brighten jog-trot citizens out Of their
propriety. MnS Langtry had been taught
to dread the cowboy as an incsrnate 6end,
to be fled from at all risks. She con-
~fesses, however, that his evil qualities
appear to be exaggerated. On one coca
SION, when her servants had marched off
TO the ~groggeries of the neighboring
settlement, she was quite alone in her
car, when there came 4 timid and lenta-
tive knock at the door. She opened it at
once, and there stood one of the dreaded
race, q gigantic leather-elad cowboy. His
look was strange and wild, but his words
were meek and mild. Extending his huge
right paw and raising his hat with the
other, he said: Il guess madam, you are
Mrs. Langry. We are right glad to sec
you in our part Of the country. There's
some Of us boys who work up in the
mountains who don't see n woman, let
alone a pretty one, above oncest
or twice a year" Mrs. Iangtry made a
suitable reply, whereat the cowboy grew
holder, and said, Might l jest ask you,
madam, to wave your handkerchief out of
the window? You see that little house
down yonder. Wal, there's a gal lives
there as Tn dead gone on, and | kinder
promised her | would Try and get you to
wave your handkerchief to her. If you
would do this it might help me a bit.
Like any true woman MH. Langhy had
no objection to advance the cowboys love
affairs, and waved her handkerchief ac-
eordingly in the direction indicated. He
was profusely grateful, but still not en-
tirely happy. guess, he went on,
you are a kind hearted lady. Now,
would you just give me a bit Of old ribbon
or a glove you have worn, or a torn hand
kerchief, to show to the boys around as
something that once belonged to your
There was nothing for it, MH. Langtry
confesses, but to give him a scrap of pink
ribbon. and then, after more thanks and
expressions OF the devotion of the entire
territory, he stalked off. II would have
been very unlike her sex if the actress had
not looked through a window Of her car to
see what the Western giant did. He was
seen in the center of a group of admiring
cowboys, holding the ribbon aloft, and ap-
parently also holding forth on his brilliant
and successful interview.

A CONFIDENTIAL friend of the Grant
family says he has reason to believe that
President Cleveland will appoint Fred
Grant either an assistant qu%artermaster or
commissary in the army, when the next
vacancy occurs, and, further, that Mr..
Conkling and other friends Of Gen. Grant
either have asked or will ask this much of
the Democratic president.

the son-in-law of Ex-senator Chaifee, has

MAIL adyices from st. Petersburg and
Moscow state hat an extremely sore feel
ing prevails in military circles because war
has been postponed. Many generals
openly declare that a magnificent oppor
tunity is now lost. The feeling is 50 bitter
and widespread that the car has been
most strongly advised to visit Moscow for
a few weeks, with the empress, to calm
down the excitement
1t is believed in many quarters that all
the elements now exist in Russia for a
military rule by a clique of generals SINH
lar to the majres dh paLais in France. 1t
is felt also in military circles that had
Skobeleff lived he doubtless would have
attempted the role of a Russian Bona

dynasty. And there are still many en-

This Is a great gum year in Maine,
especially on the Penobscot, and now
that the sun is climbing up into the
north a little and the lumbermen are
coming out, the air is fairly redolont
with the perfume Of spruce. The logs,
knees, and bark are not the only valu-
able parts Of the great timber tree, for
the gum is worth considerable, even in
its rough state, just as It is hacked from
the orotehes Of old trees. There are two
or three firms here which buy large
quantities Of ii from the lumbermen
and gum hunters for the purpose Of re-
filming IT, as they say. But as a general
thing the refining consists in adultera-
ton with rosin.
They throw it into a big kettle, bark
and all, and boil it to about the CON
sistency Of thick molasses, skimming
the impurities OIL as they rise to the
surface. Then, II the purpose be TO
adulterate, some lard or grease and n
lot Of rosin Is added, and in some cases
n little sugar. Tho mixture then be-
comes thicker, and, after more stirring,
is poured out on n slab, where, while It
is yet hot, il is rolled out In a sheet
about q quarter of an inch thick, and
then chopped with a steel die into
pieces half an inch wide and three
quarters Of an inch long. These pieces
are wrapped in tissue paper and packed
in wooden boxes. There are 200 pieces
in a box. Some gum is treated in this
way without adulteration.
The best gum comes from no particu-
lar locality, but always from the big
gest trees The doctors up here say
chewing gum benefits the teeth. The
loggers, in their many idle hours by the
camp fire. whittle out miniature bar
rels from blocks Of cedar or white pine,
hollow them out, and fill them with the
choicest gum the woods afford for gifts
to their sweethearts, children, or friends
when they come down in the spring.
Others, who go into the woods for gum
alone, bring down big bags of gum, and
sell it to manufacturers OF the Improved
article. Up there adulterated gum is
called patent gum.

Tug cattle interests Of Wyoming and
adjacent states and territories were never
in a more promising condition than at the
present time. We are nearing the spring
round ups and stockmen generally are
iubilant over the prospects of a fine calf
crop. The past winter, although the
weather was severe at times, was not very
hard on stock. aud a careful riding of the
ranges since the spring weather set in has
shown the per cent of losses tn have been
no greater than that Of the most favorable
winters in the past. The fact that the
vast herl Of cattle in this section have
passed through the winter without appar-
ent suffering and with only ordinary losses,
has not only been a source Of qualification
to stockmen, humanely and pecuniarily,
but also a revelation to many new comes
in the business who had ANTICIPATED bad
results from what they supposed IN be a
hard winter.
From present indications it looks Us if
the increase was to be an unusually large
