MT. Oberley, the newly appointed civil service commissioner, has had some experi- ence. In 1861 he was one of the editors of g Union paper published at Memphis. An orator came to Memphis and in his speech he acclaimed against Mir. Oberley's paper, saying that it was a shame that such a paper should be tolerated in the South; that Mem phis ought to clear itself of this disgrace by prompt and decisive action. The speaker was eloquent and the Memphians were exci- table. As he tossed back his long hair in his most impressive manner, and shook his clenched fist in the direction of the newspa- per office, the crowd became wild with rage, and few minutes later the building was al- most demolished, and all the material of the office was scattered or destroyed. The lives of the editors were in danger, but they for | tunately escaped. Mir. Oberley made his way to Ohio and afterward to Illinois, where he is or was lately the chairman of the Dem ocratlc State committee. The orator who | brought this upon MT. Oberlsy was Lucius l Quintus Curtius Lamar, now Secretary of the 1 Interior.

remarkable feat in book renovation has just been completed by Frenchman named Lahonton. He had sent him copy of Cover dale's bible that was completely saturated with fat, and had been badly eaten by mice. His process was to treat each leaf to judi cious course of chlorine in solution and ammonia, while the dirt was removed by some process only known to himself He then supplied the defective portions by care fully grating on selected pieces of paper of the requisite texture and shade. The miss- ing letter press was fac-similed. The whole was then sized and afterward appropriately bound by one of the best Parisian binders, the whole cost of all this treatment being $2OO

Speaking of the Congo region MT. Rice, a missionary, tells pleasing tale. He says: The resources of the region are great and mainly undeveleped. Perhaps half of this vast territory is virgin forest of great thick ness and value. Wherever I have been the great rubber wealth of the country is still untouched. This will be accessible as soon as the natives find there is market for it somewhere on the river. Considering that at present the rubber supply of America is inadequate, it is plain that sooner CT later this equatorial supply will be tapped and ina mense fortunes realized. The quantity of ivory which lies unused and is, comparative ly speaking, of no value in this region is un- told

Consumption
 Conquered
WHEN THE DOCTORS COULD
 DO NO MORE.

CHAS. A. CABRERA, B Hawley Street,
 Boston, Mass, writes:
 "One year ago I was apparently so far gone with Consumption that my life seemed only question of days rather than months. With my faith in the ability of physicians to help me all gone, I tried almost every known remedy, with no apparent benefit. Finally, last resort, I was induced to try Dr. R. 0. Flowers Lung Cordial. The very first dose gave relief, and with the first bottle took new lease of life, and can honestly say to-day that one spoont'l of this remedy is worth more to the sufferer from Lung troubles than a gallon of any other known remedy. A bottle of it is now one of my choicest possessions, and at the first symptom of cough or cold fly to it for the relief it never fails to give"
 DR. FLOWERS LUNG COR- DIAL is without question the most wonderful Lung remedy ever discovered. It eradicates the germ of CONSUMPTION as no remedy has ever been known to do. It stands without a rival for COUGHS, COLDS, BRON- CHITIS, ASTHMA and CON- SUMPTION.
 Price $1 per bottle. A copy of Dr. Fiew.r's Rules for the Treatment of Consumption ac- companies each bottle.

HOW TO CARRY IT ON THE STREETS
OF A CITY,

IT You Want to be Considered a Chris
tian Gentleman. study the Accompany
Ing Situation of This Article and Gov
ern Yourself Accordingly.
There are many ways of carrying an UNI
brella when travelling the crowded streets OF
n large city. Some of these ways are very
nmusing-they are literally frescoed with
fun, for, of course, to poke a man in the ribs
IL uproariously funny. One never knows
how many humorists there are in "a large city
until nc goes out on some crowded thorough
fare on n rainy day and watches the antics Of
the passers by.
One of the favorite methods of poking fun
at pedestrians is shown when the facetious in
-diviiuai carries his umbrella under his arm
with the point sticking straight out behind.
He is talking earnestly with friend, and
every now and then, as he turns toward his
companion to add force tn his remarks, the
point of his umbrella describes are,
generally ending by striking one
violently in the ribs. or course, there is a
short apology, but will an apology repair the
injury done to n mans dinneri
But this is one of the most innocent forms
of amusement. There aro many men who are
above such trivial sports. "A mere punch III
the stomach gives them no satisfaction what
eyer. They long for more excitement, and
nothing less than gouging mans eye out
will do them. This class Of pleasure seekers
grasp their umbrellas firmly by the handles,
holding them in such n manner that they
swing their arms rapidly, and the effect is
really astonishing.
ACCOMPLISHED BY EXPERTS
Statistics show that an expert can hit about
two eyes To every block he traverses, besides
smashing n tooth and nose now and then.
On pleasant days this sport is often indulged
in with the substitution of cane for an um.
brella. TIE same object can also be accom-
plishc,l by carrying the instrument of torture
the shoulder and at right angles with
the body.
The small boy has way of carrying an
umbrella that is very effective indeed He
carries it, opened, directly in front of him.
or course he can see no one, and yet, with
marvellous precision, he will spear the middle
vest button of two out of every three fat men
he meets
The man who, engaged in an excited de
bate, gcsticulates with his umbrella cane
is humorist of no mean pretenSions He
generally grasps the weapon firmly by the
handle, waves il excitedly in the air. and
brings il down forcibly on the palm of his
left hand-that is, he brings it down there
whenever there is no hat or head in its path.
When there is, there is hatter's or doctors
bill for some one to paw.
To the merciful man, who wishes to carry
an umbrella in the manner that will be least

say: Watch the PEDESTRIANS and carry your

For a moment Mr.. Monk, as he called him
self, seemed ready to draw his riding whip
across the young mans face, but, conquering
himself, he surveyed him from head to foot
with savage anger. Nothing daunted, the
young man returned his stare with something
very like supreme contempt. At last, mutter-
ing beneath his breath, Mr.. Monk turned
away, and, leading his horse into the avenue,
closed the gate and remounted; but even then
he did not immediately depart, but remained
for some minutes, seated in the saddle, scowl-
ing over at the encampment
Thus occupied, his face and figure set in
the gloomy framework of the trees, he looked
even more forbidding than before. His face,
though naturally handsome, was dark with
tempestuous passions, his eyes deep-set and
fierce, his clean-shaven jaw square and de-
termined. For the rest, his black hair, which
was thickly mixed with iron gray, fell almost
to his shoulders, and his upper lip was COW
cred with an iron gray mustache.
At last, as if satisfied with his scrutiny, Mr..
Monk turned his horse round with fierce
jerk of the rein, and rode rapidly away in
the shadow of the wood.
