SIGHTING ALASKA.

july 21-9P.M. At nine this morn
ing we entered Alaskan territory, and
for the first time since we left Victoria
we saw low land. The flags were all
hOisted and a cannon fired to salute
our own lands. The passengers, en-
Unused by this, hurrah and clap their
hands, and it seems somehow as If the
air were lighter and the sun shOne
clearer. At 9.20 we gave mail to tug
for the Government Coast Survey
steamer G. B. Patterson. At 1920 we
met tug towing three British and one
| American vessel to Seattle, boats that
had been seized for catching seals in
restricted district. At P. NJ, we stop
! ped at New Matlacatla, government
Indian post. The Indians seem very
contented and we'll to do. A Mr., Dun
can has charge of the post, and seems
J to take great interest in the natives.
| For our benefit he took the children
in the schoolhouse, and put them
through their exercises in English.
The Young men have q brass band
which plays very we'll considering the
difficulties under which they labor.
When we left at o'clock they dipped
the flag and fred a salute while the
band PLAYED " Yankee Doodle"
At7.45lP. NJ, we stopped and delivered
freight at Tongas Narrows, a small set
Element where there is quite large
fish cannery. The custOmhouse officer
on board seized two kegs of whiskey
that were being smuggled in under the
the guise of merchandise. 1t is against
the law to take any kind of intoxica-
J ting liquor into this country, so that il
, may be kept out of the reach of the
, Indians, who have very decided fond
ness for anything of the kind. Rifles
! and pistols also, are prohibited. This
r is a decidedly wise precaution.
: July 22.--10.30 P. NJ. At 1880 thi!
: morning we stopped at Carter's Bay
[ where there is q small Indian settle
1 ment. Nearly all the squaws have
8 from eight to ten silver bracelets, anC
as many rings, which they are willing
r but not anxious to sell.
}. The prices range from one to fou
n dollars for the silver bracelets, anC

o ones. The excursionists imagine tina

A Common-sense Remedy.

In the matter of curatives what you
want is something that will do its
work while you continue to do yours
"a remedy that will give you no in

business. Such a remedy is ALLCOCK's

purely vegetable and absolutely harm
less. They require no change of diet,
and are not affected by wet or cold.
Their action does not interfere with
labor or business; you can toll and yet

are so pure that the youngest, the old

Voting for Temperance.

The Temperance Alliance of New
Jersey has issued an address to the
temperance voters of that State urging
upon them the absolute necessity OF
voting the Republican ticket at the
coming election. In this address the
work done by the Republican Legis-
lature is reviewed, and also the efforts
of the Democrats to override it. DIR.
Ballard, an ardent ProhibitiOnist,
wrote the address, and in conclusion
says: -,
"All dangers have been successfully
passed. The only one now remaining
which may be fatal to its life is found
in a possible majority in the coming
Legislature who will repeal it. 1t is
openly stated that the liquor interest
intends to concentrate its work and
money this autumn in an effort to elect
such Legislature. This isthe pivotal
point upon whose turning the temper
| ance advance or retreat will become
matter of temperance history. An in
telligent lover of the temperance cause
who loves that cause more than any
partv organization, will not try tC
avoid the conclusion that an opposing
majority in the coming legislative ses
sion will be the greatest disaster t.
which temperance in New Jersey hai
vet been subjected. A vote cast for
candidate who will be sent there to re
peal the law is vote against the caus'
of temperance"
If the doctor had made the last sen
tence so that it would have read,
vote cast for a Democrat is a Vot'
against the cause of temperance, h
would not have stated anything NOR
than a fact. The Republican part,
everywhere is in favor of laws that cal
be enforced for the restriction of tn
) liquor traffic, while the Democrati
. party is exactly the reverse. There
/ fore, it should not bea difficult matte
/ for the friends of temperance to deter
. mine where their votes will do th
most good. In Delaware the Repul
. lican party is pledged to high licens
and local option, and if the temperanC
| men wish to see these reforms carrie
. into effect they will assist in electing
Republican Legislature.-RepubticG

CROSSING THE ROCKIES.

July 12-7.12 p. NJ. We passed
through Miles City at 9 o'clock last
night; and at this morning we enter
ed the region of the magnificent, snow
capped Rockies. A quarter of an hour
later, at an elevation of 5565 feet we
passed through a tunnel of the Belt
range S61O feet long. The grades are
so steep that with two engines we are
enabled only to creep along. Beyond
| the Belt range, we descended into the
/ Gallatin Valley, where the houses are
more numerous and better built, the
land fenced and in cultivation. At Ito
P. NJ, we reached Helena-a lively lit
tie city of $4,000 with street cars, elec-
trio lights, and "all the modern i'm
provementss" Up grade again to Null
lon Tunnel through the main range OF
the Rockies, $3.50 feet long, at an ele-
walton of 5547 feet. Down we go into
the Pacific slope. The temperature
has dropped 20 degrees.
July 1850 P. NJ. In one half
hour yesterday evening, going from
one mountain side to another, we

: 226 feet high another, 125 feet; and
the others, about 40 feet. By half past
I nine the weather grew so cold, that
t fires were started in the cars. In the

OyerMarked Muscles.

The affection known as writer's cramp
is not confined to users of the pen, but
appears in telegraphers and others who
make continual use of one set of mus
cles. These cramps have been vari-
ously supposed to result from dis
eased condition of brain, spinal cord OF
nerves, and were.}ong regarded as in
durable. During several years past,
however, Wolff has been applying gym
nastics combined with massage to the
muscles affected, and has succeeded in
curing more than half the many cases
treated. His process is neither difficult
nor tedious, being simply regular move
ment of the fingers or other parts, with
rubbing or gentle striking of the mus
cles, continued not more than an hour
a day for several weeks.-ArkansGaC

"No one will ever be able to tell the
real wealth of Alaska" saiS a furrier
to reporter. 1T consists of the abun-
dance of its skinned animals. The Rus
SLAMS used TO value the country for its
furs, and il was mainly for the furs
that this country acquired it from Rus
STA. The trade has grown very much
since its annexation r. this country.
The shipments of sea otter and fur
sealskins alone have more than doubled
during the past ten years. and now av-
erage annually 81, 500, 600 in value. The
list of furs produced in that part of the
country is long one, the land furs
comprising otter, beaver, brown bear,
black bear, red fox, silver fox, blue and
white fox, mink, martin, polar bear,
lynx and musk rat. Rabbits, marno.s
and wolverines are alse common, but
their skins are retained by the natives.
The annual value of the furs, sea and
land, now obtained from Alaska is esti-
mated to average $4,000, 900, and there
is no sign of decrease in the yield. The
competition of the traders for skins has
stimulated the natives 20 greater indus

The Kind HOusemaid.

A quiet young man occupied the rear
hall bedroom on the third floor of a
Forty-frst street clearinghouse. He
was pleasant, ingenious youth, and he
evidently had not been long in New
York, for he had a number of knick-
knacks with him, and tried to make his
room look attractive. On his bureau
was the photograph of very pretty
girl, tastefully framed, which he seemed
to regard with considerable affection.
Returning from business one evening he
noticed, with much surprise, that the
photograph was gone, and Immediately
proceeded in search of the chamber
maid for an explanation.

towels and bed quilts appeared, what
have you done with the picture that al

"Sure, and put it in yer trunk. Yell

1880 there were probably not more thar
5000 Jews here; now there are more
than 10000. The recent prosecutions
in Russia have led thousands of then
to seek home in their ancient city
The Turkish Government forbids al
Jews who are not residents of Jerusa
lem to remain longer than thirty days
in the city, but the all-powerful "bak
shish" enables them to live here as long
as they wish without molestation
They are still coming in great numbers.
Wealthy Jews have built hospitals an6
founded homes for them in and about
the city, and, as many of those who
come are poor, they live from the char
ity of their brethren.
