Hung BY His Coat.

RAwL1Ns, W. T., April e.-About
month ago there came to the hunters
camp, in the Elk Head Mountains,
foot'sore, ragged and generally dilapida-
ted specimen of the disreputable genius
tramp.
Some more than usually unaccountable
vagary of his rowing disposition had in.
duced this habitual trampest to leave for
time his birthright of familiar and
well.trodden railroad ties and strike out
into the plains and the mountains. a
binding snow storm came on, the wander.
er lost his road, ard when he stumbled
on the camp. was half frozen and utterly
exhausted. He was kindly cared for, and
after resting for several days, was fur
nished by his host with full directions to
find the camp he was in search of.
One of the articles of attire sported by
our tramp was long.tail coat, and in
one of the tail pockets was quart bottle
Of whisky. When he left his former
companions the other pocket had been
similarly furnished, but had been light.
ened of its load by q constant and exhaus.
tive process of tramp absorption. Sever.
al days passed and the hunter had almost
forgotten his tramp guest, but he was TO
be recalled to his memory in startling
and most efectual manner.
Returning from the usual daily hunt,
the hunter found, one evening, short
distance from his camp, the body of q
man suspended from limb of q large
tree. The mere finding of a man hang
ing in these wild mountain solitudes was
surely singular enough in itself, but the
hanging in manner was more singular
still. The tnan was hung by his coat-a
long. tailed coat. Investigation speedily
revealed to the hunter that the dead man
was his late tramp guest, and also ex
planned the manner Of his sudden and
curious taking of.
He had evidently ascended the tree
1.-THE upper branches being broken and
bent as by the swift downward passage of
some heavy body doubtless to look over
the country, to make sure of bis course
of travel. While SO engaged he had
fallen headlong. In his downward course
his long coat tails had wound themselves
about the lower limb of the tree (some
fifteen feet from the ground) and had, BY
the weight and action of the bottle OF
whisky in the pocket, become firmly and
fatally knotted there. The coat, fastened
at the throat by a stout buckskin string,
had been jerked up over the head, hope
lessly entangliDg the arms and shutting
off respiration. Thus singularly doomed,
the tramp had quickly died. There was
| nothing on the person of the unfortunate
to indicate identity, and at the foot OF
the fatal tree on the wild mountain side
there is now nameless grave.

Cotton Mills Down South.

The New England cotton mill owners
must keep their weather eye open and
watch a new movement in the South
west.
The people down yonder are beginning
to reason among themselves. They say,
in substance, We grow the cotton and
send it up North to be made into cloth,
and after that We have to buy the cloth.
Then they put their thinking caps on
and ask, Why can't We build mills of our
own and pocket the profits of manufac'
ture ourselves?
The answer came in the shape of two
we'll equipped establishments in New
Orleans. It was an experiment, of course,
and the dollars went into the speculation
with some timidity. But the spirit of
competition was vigorous and the love OF
an honest penny honestly earned prevail
ed. Then q big building was put up in
Wesson, Miss, for the same purpose.
Well, the venture was an admirable
success in both instances. The Wesson
company is going to put up another mill
because the demand for its product has
greatly increased, and the New Orleans
people will very soon follow suit.
During the next twenty or thirty years
the South will give US pretty lively
shaking up. Before the war, you know,
they never dreamed of stripping for the
race, and We had it all our own way.
But the times have changed with them.
Now, what with their iron mines, and
their coal mines, and their new methods
of agriculture, and their shrewd enter.
prise, and their commercial daring, we
shall have to draw our belts a little
tighter and strike a livelier gait, Orwell,
what of it? This is a free country; and a
big and rich country, and there is room
enough for generous rivalry to get q good
deal of exercise and make good deal of
money. Are you ready, gentlemen

They Played Cowboy.

BuReErrsrowN, PENN, April T.
Six boys, ranging in age from 10 to Is
year,, who have been reading dime liter
ature, went into barn yesterday after.
noon to play "Cowboy." They had two
or three pistols and ropes, the latter being
used as lassos. During the play one of
the lads, after boasting of his ability to
throw rope around the neck of an in
dian and choke him to death, gave his
lasso sling. 1t chanced to fall over the
neck of little James Burton, who started
to run. The boy held on, and the rope
frightened around Jimmy,s throat. The
others thought it was great sport, and
laughed at the struggles of the little fell
low to get free. This lasted for some
time. Finally the mother of one of the
boys appeared upon the scene. She
quickly released the little sufferer, but
too late to save his life. He died within
q few minutes after the removed Of the

in the cab and drowned before aid could

A Famous Doctor

Once said that the secret Of good health
consisted in keeping the head cool, the
feet warm, and the bowels open. Had
this eminent physician lived in our day,
and known the merits of Ayers Pills
as an apericnt, he would certainly have
recommended them, as SO many OF his
distinguished successors are doing.
The celebrated DR.. Farnsworth, OF
Norwich, Conn.,, recommends Ayers
Pills as the best of all remedies for
Intermittent Fevers."
DR.. I. E. Fowler, OF Bridgeport,
Conn.,, says: "Ayer's Pills are highly
and universally spoken of by the people
about here. I make daily use Of them
in my practice"
DR.. Mayhem, of New Bedford, Mass,
says: Having prescribed many thou
sands of Ayers Pills, in my practice, I
can unhesitatingly pronounce them the
best cathartic in use."
The Massachusetts State Assayer, DR..
A. A. Hayes, certifies f" have made
careful analysis OF Ayers flllS. Ihcy
contain the active principles OF we'll
known drugs, isolated from inert mat
ter, which plan is, chemically speaking,
of great importance to their usefulness.
1t insures activity, certainty, and uni
formity of effect. Ayers Pills contain
no metallic or mineral substance, but
the virtues of vegetable remedies i'll
