four years to no purpose. Her leg got worse
every year. 1 used about 30 bottles Of other
medicine to no purpose. The doctors said the
only remedy left was amputation. That we
all was opposed to. I was in Knoxville the sth
of January, 1886, and while buying bill of
drugs called for good blood purifier, and
Messrs Sanford, Chamberlain s. Co., recon-
mcnded the B. B. B. I purchased one-half
dozen bottles, and to my utter surprise after
using three or four bottles my girls leg was
entirely healed. / also had q very ugly run

, I wish you much success, and do hope that
all suffering humanity may hear and believe
in the only true blood purifier. I have tried

"Le Sabre De Mon Pere."

LONDON, February 20.-A dark eyed
daughter of the Confederacy has been
giving testimony for four days before Con-
sui General Waller and a commissioner
sent from Washington, to prove that Ben
Butler is rascal. She is Rowena Guadella,
now the wife of prominent London law
yer, but during the Rebellion she was q
Miss Florence, of New Orleans, and a
cousin of Judah P Benjamin She claims
that General Twiggs, of Louisiana, gave
her three valuable swords, one presented to
him by the State of Texas, another by the
city of Augusts, Ca, and the third by Con-
gress for services in the Mexican war
When General Butler took possession of
New Orleans he made Miss Florence give
up the swords and sent them to President
Lincoln at Washington. Since then shehas
been fighting to recover them in the courts
even going so far AS to have General Butler
prosecuted in New York in 1871. The
case, however, got shelved somewhere in
the Supreme Court, and has just been un-
earthed again in the consul generals Office
here by the appearance of the commission
er from Washington.
General Butler would have been inter
ested today to hear MIS-. Guadella tell what
she knew about him in New Orleans

A Prosperous Mule Trade,

An Atlanta letter to the Macon Telegraph
says: The mule trade in Atlanta has been
exceptionally large this year, and all the
sale and feed stables have done an immense
business. Their proprietors say that the
trade this year in Atlanta was almost
double what it was last season. South
Carolin" has been strong market and
thousands of head of good mules have been
shipped to that State. 1t is said that the
good crops made in South Carolina last
year had the effect of creating demand
for more mules and of the best that can be
had. A day or two ago carload of mules
was shipped to Newberry, S. c., that
brought on this market $50 per head,
which is about the highest price paid for a
carload of mules this season. The drovers
and stablemen say that the farmers of
Georgia and South Carolina have bought
stock with such freedom as to indicate that
they are in a prosperous condition.

it is impossible for me to furnish copies OF
them to anybody until they shall have been
printed by order of Congress (Which will
probably not be until next October); but
these reports are on file in the office Of the
Chief Of Engineers in Washington, where
they can always be seen and consulted by
members of Congress and other interested
persons.
In these reports I recommended certain
amounts as those which could be profta-
bly, expended during the coming year.
(See accompanying table,
In the case of many of the works already
in progress, and in order to reduce the total
river and harbor bill estimates to the figures
demanded by recent Congresses, the Chief
of Engineers has recommended amounts
considerably less than the above. In the
case of works not yet commenced, the
Chief of Engineers has not yet las far as l
know made any recommendations, leaving
the decision in such cases entirely to Con,
gress, or waiting until Congress shall have
decided as to the commencement of such
work. Very respectfully, your obedient
servant, WIN. II. BIxBY,
Captain of Engineers.

New Trusts springing Up.

The New York Senate committee in
vestigating trusts Saturday examined j.
O. Preble, trustee of the envelope
trust, known as the Standard Envelope
Company. He said that nine companies
form part of the concern. Each pays
twenty cents to the Standard Company
for every 1000 envelopes sold. The
market price per 1000 is Sl.05. The
company now controls in the neighbor-
hood of one-haf of the envelopes made
in this country. They have made as
many as one hundred and twenty and
one hundred and forty millions a month,
which increases the treasury account by
about $4,000 or $4,000 per month.
