arrives from the Soudan. While the En-

Stephenson TO leave hastily for the front

off and besieged. The little steamer Lotus

esh is strongly fortified, but is 100 miles
south of Waddy Halfa, with seven small

have been ordered to reinforce the British

THE Argonaut loses its temper over the
infamous libels published in the New York
World concerning Senator Stanford-that
he bought his way into the Senate for
$4,000, and that his educational endow-
ment is ruse to escape taxation. Such
calumnious utterances, even by half
breed Democratic sheet are harmless and
excite on this coast only amusement. They
are so utterly absurd, and are known by
all the people to be absolutely and wholly
false, that they awaken here only con-
tempt for the miserable fellow who, under
the disguise of anonymity, uttered them.
1t is fair to say that as to one of the SLAM
derous statements a retraction has already
been made

of a perpetual Injunction upon hydraulic
mining. Now when any one comes for
ward and attempts to make them believe
that Government work on the rivers means
longer consent to the process that is de-
stroying them or that anybody who Is
friendly to the integrity of the river, de-
sires or asks for the erection of works in,
about, above or below ON the rivers, that can
be used as means for the continuance Of
hydraulic mining conducted on the tribu-
taries of the rivers, or that menaces the
rivers in any way, the people write that
same intelligence down assinine.
The Waterways Convention indeed is a
proposition to be commended. Any con-
sultation Of the people upon matters APP
pertaining to the economy of the Govern
ment and the conservation of commercial
and industrial considerations, is wise. Out
ofsuch councils the truth is evolved, and the
wisest course to be pursued developed. But
before any such National Convention is
called, we want local one in California.
And whether there is convened national
council or not, the local Convention on
California waterways should be held. We
suggested last spring that such consulta-
ton be had in the summer or early in the
fall Of this year, but the call has not yet
issued. The Anti-Debris Association can
not better further its own work or promote
valley interests, than by calling together
representatives of interests affected disas.

PHILADELPHIA, December 14th. = The

that lass than 20,000000 of acres of public

Nervousness.

The moment there is danger Of i'm.
pairment of the mind from exces-
sive nervous exhaustion, or where there
exists fortboding of evil, q desire for
solitude, stunning and avoiding COM
pany, vertigo and nervous debility, or
when insanity has already taken place,
PERuNA and MANALIN should be i'm.
plicitly relied on. But it is never we'll
to wait so long before treatment is
commenced. The early symptoms are
loss of strength, softness of the mus
cles, dim or weak sight, peculiar ex-
preston of the face and eyes, coated
tongue, with impaired digestion; or in
others, certain powers only are lost
while they are otherwise enjoying com.
paratively good health. In ali these
PERuNA and MANAL1N should at once
be taken.
Mrs. 8. Smith, Hillsville, Lawrence
County, Pa, writes: "DR. S. B. HART
MAN & Co., Columbus, O.: II have
been great sufferer for ten years. It
seemed as though every organ in my
body was diseased at one time or
another. I had about given up all
hopes, when 1 commenced taking Pc.
RUNA and MANALIN. / Immediately
began to improve, the soreness and
pain disappeared, strength gradually
returned, and now am as we'll "a ever
in my life, and I owe it all to your
PERuNA and MANALIN. I recommend
it to my friends, and it gives better sat-
isfaction than any other medicine I
ever heard Of"
Miss Maria Roderick, Warren, Ohio,
writes: sit is with pleasure and many
thanks that l write to you to tell you
of the great benefit I have derived
from the use of the PERuNA. I have
used several bottles of your PERUNA,
and can safely say it has done me
great deal of good. I have improved
ever since commenced its use."
Mr.. T. J. Weber, Plymouth, Ohio,
writes: II am selling your PERuNA,
and having a good trade in it. It
gives excellent satisfaction"
Mr.. Thomas Acton, Brooklyn Viii
lage, Cleveland, O., says: II received
severe wound in my foot by tramping
on spike. 1t infamed and was pain
full and swollen. had every reason
to fear lockjaw. Your simple sugges-
lions as to local applications and the
taking of your PERUNA and MANA1rN
were followed to the letter, and, thanks
to you, my foot il entirely we'll, and I
am happy"

The New York Governorship.

The political chess board is to lie
changed once more by slight move
in New York. A stiff campaign is
approaching between the late de-
feated and the present exultant,
and the result is looked for with
much interest.
Cleveland's mugwump policy has
doubtless alienated some of his own
party. There is a lukewarmness
discernible in certain quarters which
may lead to a inst discrimination in
the Democratic vote. Tammany is
disafected once more over the ap-
poinfments in New York, City, and
it is doubtful whether the full par.
ty strength will be brought ont.
1t remains to be seen whether the
mugwump element has been sutii-
GENTLY attracted to Mr.. Cleveland
to vote for the Democratic nominee.
We rather incline to the opinion
that election day will find them vo-
ting solidly as of yore for the
straightout Republican ticket. We
have no confidence in the sincerity
of mugwump promises. They are
not permanent part of the party,
and will desert us at the first fair
opportunity.
The Democrats have many avail
able men. Secretary Whitney is
the Presidents choice, and SEEM
ingly the strongest candidate yet
mentioned.
Senator Evarts has been solicit
ted to lead the Republican hosts,
in order that the mugwump element
may be pacified. He declines to
run, however, and the field, as yet,
seems clear of all save those with
more money than brains.
We shall watch this contest with
great interest, feeling that the Wis
dom Of the Presidents policy will

the bed, and over the chairs, until
he had to gasp for breath. While
seated in a chair resting himself, he
glared at the crumpled dress lying
on the floor, and the idea occurred
to him that the only way to keep
the pocket from lodging him was
to put the dress on. He did so and
then renewed his search, but his
hands would slide into loops, furbe.
lows, folds, flounces and everything
else except the much desired pock-
ct. This was more than he could
stand, and he determined to take
off the dress and tear it to pieces,
and thus discover the dwelling
place of the key. The pulled the
dress up over his head as if he was
divesting himself of a shirt, but it
got caught in his suspender buc-
kles and wrapped itself around his
neck in a peculiar way, and he
stopped fsrward and tugged at it
with all his strength, but it would
not give an inch and appeared to
tighten its grip around his head. 1t
was hot and he was smothering in
its folds, and in order to release
himself he beat the air with both
hands and danced up and down in
one spot until the window panes
ratified. The dress, however, knew
that it was getting the best of him
and would not let him go, and then
Pettengill in his rage made a blind
dash and butted the bowl and pit
cher off the washstand, and upset
the rocking chair, which prodded
him severely in the ribs. The next
dige he made the bureau suffered,
and cologne bottles and powder
boxes, mingling with a tin bath tub
and bird cage, rolled over the
floor. Mrs. Pettengill heard the
csash, and Fastening up stairs dis
covered her husband lying on the
floor on his back, with his arms and
head bound up in her dress, and
kicking both his legs in the air, and
using profanity of lao degrees in
the shade. She pulled him out of
the dress, and he sat up on the
floor and gazed at her in a dazed
way, and ribbed his ribs with one
hand and wiped the blood off his
nose with the other. There was a
look in his eyes which told Mrs.
Pettengill that it was not the time
to talk to her husband, so she
merely picked up the dress, and
without any trouble at all put her
hand in a certain place and took
out the key, which she handed him
without saying word. 1t was too
late to catch the train, so Petten-
gill quietly bathed his bruised head
and then went to a locksmith's
shop, and when he came home he
brought his valise key with him,
and it was chained to a bar of pig
iron. He says now that when he
wants to 60 away he is sure to find
his key outside of his wife's dress

HUNTING A DRESS POCKET.

Col. Jim Pettengill, who is
stont man and perspires great
deal, went home to his wife the
other evening and asked her where
she bept the key of his valise, as
he wished to pack up a few things
and take the night train for Mobile
to look after some important bust
ness matters.
Mrs. Pettengill told him to go up
stairs to her room and he would find
the key in the pocket of her black
dress, which was hanging on nail
behind the door. She further ex.
plalned that it was her serge dress
with a vatican plat down the back,
and Topped along the front with
small satin bows, and continued to
give geographical description Of
the garment until Pettenglll got
tired and suddenly turned on his
heel and left her.
Poor, foolish mortal, he did not
know that it was easier, as The
Scripture says, for the eye of a rich
man to crawl through camel than
for him to find the pocket in his
wife's dress. Blinded by his own
confidence, he took the dress off the
nail, and that moment his suffering
commenced. He took short sur
vey of the garment as he held it up
in his left hand, in order to locate
the position of the pocket. His eye
rested on a small opening and he
thrust his hand into it, only to find
his fingers gliding through kind
of bottomless concern, and then,
running his arm into it up to the
hilt, he observed that his hand was
protruding from an aperture on the
other side. This caused him to
change the position of the dress,
and he saw another opening and
sounded its depths and ascertained
that it was the same mysterious
hole which he had been in only a
moment before.
This slightly annoyed him, and
after throwing off his coat and vest
and hopping the streams of perspi-
ration from his face, he again went
in search of the pocket. He saw a
little slit on the right side, and
softer light came into his eyes
"This is it," he murmured, and put
ting his hand into shallow f1ounce
commenced to grope around for the
key, which, however, was sleeping
snugly in the pocket at least two
feet away. Pettengill got mad and
began to swear through his clench-
ed teeth. He determined to find
the pocket or die with his face to
the foe, and the next minute he
commenced stabbing the dress with
both hands, and hitting it straight
blows from the shoulder, and dane
ing around it just as if he was en-
gagged in rough and tumble fight.
He glanced at the clock and saw
that the train would start in forty
minutes, and once more he jumped
for the dress with a low yell that
indiealed plainly that he was mad
enough to match himself against
hornet. He jammed bis head into
the folds of the dress and common
