MAN is not the only animal that COM
mits suicide. Herrings and other fish
have sought death by rushing ashore in
anyriads; regiments of ants, by dcliber-
atcly marching into streams; swarms of
rats. by migrating into the face of their
deadly foes, and even butterflies, by
flying in immense clouds straight out
TO sea. 1t would be interesting to learn
the causes of the apparent wholesale
and deliberate self-dcstruction. Is the
act a purely conscious one, or arc the
creatures victims Of diseasc-mcntal or

Another day has dawned .pon me, md can scarcely this morning ex- press how good and happy felt last night, when opening my valise and taking out clean shirt and collar to have ready to put on this morning, there fell to the floor from it's folds, the pictures of my three darling children.

GuRE EnK PILES.

Piles are frequently preceded by sense of weight in the back, loins and lower part of the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose he had some affec- tion of the Kidneys or neighboring or gans. At times, symptoms of indiges- tion are present, as flatulency, uneasi- ness of the stomach, etc. A moisture. like precipitation, producing 6 very disagreeablc itching, after getting warm, is a very common attendant. Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles yield at once to the application of Dr Bo- sanko's Pile Remedy, which acts direcr- iy upon the part affected, absorbing the Tumors, allaying the intense itching, and effecting permanent euro.

1.-THE BACKLOG.

Tn the issue of THE AaKANsAw TRAvELER dated July 31st, will ap pear the opening chapters of a new serial story by OrlE P. READ, enti tied "THE BACK LoG." This work IS novel to which the author has devoted the spare time of several years and we think that 1t will be pronounced by all readers the strongest in plot and Tn character, the most finished in literary con struction, and altogether the most facinating of any of MR. READ's stories. "THE BACK Loe" charnc- ters are drawn from life and the de velopments of the plot will show that the noted writer who says that snothing new in plots can De con. ceived," makes q mistake "Tnf BACK Loc" will be valuable addi- ton to American fiction and will |doubtIess receive q hearty welcome every where.
