The usual treatment of catArrb Is very unsatisfactory, as thousands of despairing patients can testify. On this point trustworthy medical writer says: "Proper local treatment Is positively necessary to success, but many, if not most of the remedies in general use by physicians afford but temporary benefit. A cure certainly cannot bc expected from snuffs, pow ders, douches and washes" Eiy's Cream Balm Is remedy which com pines the important requisites of quick action, specific curative power with perfect safety and pleasantness to the patient.

Great Soldiers.

General "Baldy" smith. iu North American
 Review,
 While, to make great captain, all the mental and physical qualities must exist in the greatest possible strength, varieties of these In combination, to n greater or less degree, have been pos seSsed by generals of less or gr@ter re- putc In the worlds history, and the number and Intensity of those quail ties In the combination give the gen eral his relative place in the list of great soldiers. Some generals arc only brilliant upon the battle tleld.a and some even only in particular phases of a battle, though they may possess ccr- tain qualities of n great leader to an extent which amounts, in It's way, to an exhibition of genius as great as any great captain has ever shown. The particular quality which made Napo- leon seize the colors and incite his troops to follow him, at the bridgc of Arcola, is well worthy of attention as being, at times, most important fac tor in battle. Alexander Rid Henry of Navarro, were leaders whose per sonal power OH the battle field may be said to have directly influenced many of their victories Many of Ma polcon's licutcnant's had this instinct of leadership; Lanncs and Massena to an eminent degree. Washington showdd it in the power of his personal prcsei bee to change retreat into nn attacA and Scott made brilliant dis play 4i it at the battle of Lundy's Lane. The civil war shows but little of thls divine gift. General C. r. Smith\ may be said to have had the gcnius\ \of battle highly developed in him, as was consplcuoualy shown at the battle of Fort Donclson. It is not always given to genius to succeed in these efforts. Napoleon failed at the bridge of Arcola, though 1t is posai- blc that the desperate fighting around his person on the causcway kept the enemy closely employed until another force had taken the town in rear, and that, therefore, his act secured hIs great victory.

PAID HIS BILL.

Last week James Whitcomb Riley, the Indiana poet, stopped at the Lou isyille hotel for few hours while waiting for train. He sent a note asking Dan E. O'Sullivan, ofthe Com mercidl, to take lunch with him. When O'Sullivan reached the hotel, after some delay, the clerk informed him "Mr. Riley has gone and paid his bill" This was sufficient to cause O'Sullivan to attack the Indiana poet in the following lines: hraved the terrors of the snow and sleet TO meet thee, and to warmly greet Thy kindred soul for there has been no year, Since first mine eyes mirrored the tears Thy gifted pen have coined; no day since first Ny lips echoed the countless laughs that burst From thy full pack of merry 9uip aud jest, That have not wished thee the very best That this drear life can have, or hold In its cold hand, or happiness or gold. I framed a question for the clerk sdull ear. He turned upon me, and in the clear Light that from his solitaire did gleam- CIt radiated like frozen sunbeam) read this answer
 "The gentleman you seek sir. is not here; He paid his bill" My heart trembled with fear. "A poet and journalist, and yet he paid A bill-a paltry board bill, too," I said, And out into the wintry day I whirled, And marveled on the wonders of the world. -"Couii this be he whose clear, sweet notes of
 song
 Went straight into my heart, as flies The tender message from the joyful throng of birds that heel at eve in summer skies: "Could this be he with whom fondly strayed In fancy through the dells of Already, And listened to old Pan as swift he played His keynote for the ages minstrelsy. ..was this my quick, delft weaver of odd
 rhymes,
 Who put aside his sorrows for day, And trolled the blithesome spirit of the
 times
 Inm many a tuneful, tinkliug roundelay? .sWas this the rovstering reveler who fills The fiagon up until such wave of mirth Nipples across it's beaded brim and fills
 It's mellow vintage on the thirsty earth?' Alas, through life this answer fills mine ear A precedent that bodes world ofill "The gentleman you seek, sir. is not here' He has gone and paid his bW."

LOVES WAYS.
BY HKxRrKrrA CHRISTIAN wRlsRr.

TWO paths hath Love for entering lovers feet. And one is broad and fair and very sweet, And every grace of song aud flower hath: The other t$ straight and narrow path Where stones and bramhles choke the bitter way, And songs it hath, but never one Is gay. And some W hO enter are with roses bound. And some with thorns, bat none may SD un. crowned; And yet, both ways arc thronEed with eager feet, And voices, gay and sad. ehant-l.ove Is sweet.

\ Narrow Escape.

4 frightful accident, which came near causing the death of fifty or sixty con- victs, took place in Little Rock few days ago. The Arkansas Industrial Com . pany, lessee of the State penitentiary has excavated at the corner of Elm and Scott streets, for large cotton warehouse building, 12) feet long and three stories in height The ground had been excavat- ed probably twenty or thirty feet to the level of the City Front railroad track. At the time of the accident fifty three men were at work finishing the excavation in order that the laying of brick might be commenced. Almost without any warn ing the earth above them began to give way. Two guards on the other side of the building site saw the landslide as it began to crumble at the top and yelled out an alarm. All but two of the men escaped, dropping their tools and running to the further side of the inclosure. William Bareh, white man, sent up from Pope County, and J |. E. Jones (colored), from Monroe County, were caught by the earth and buried. Burch was taken out alive, but is badly injured. When Jones was uncovered a most horrible sight was presented. It was found that he had fallen over a box, against which the earth had crushed his head Tn q most frlghtful manner Col onel James B. Miller, one of the lessees, was near the earth whenit began to cave, and had very narrow escape. That only one life was lost is considered almost 6 mira cle

PECULIAR TREATMENT.

Red Cross Nurses Sent to Florida to Nurse
 Yellow Fever Patients In',unlanly Treat
 ed and Subject to Arrest 0uestiona-
 ble Pretexts-To Be Investigated.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The reports of insubordination on the part of the Red Cross nurses sent from the North are likely to lead to an investigation. One of the nurses under arrest had under her charge sixteen patients and was asked to take care also of another pa tient who lived some distance away on the other side of a swampy wood. She was asked to make four trips each night to this patient. She made one trip, along a lonely road alive with moceasns, and found four patients in the house with two nurses. She immediately asked why these nurses could not give the other patient the required attention, and re- turned to her sixteen sufferers. When she declined to make the other trips de- manded of her, she was arrested, and is now at Camp Perry. She is a New York woman.
 Another case is even more notable. 4 nurse was sent to a sick woman and found that the patient was about to become mother. Utterly unskilled in obstetrics, and fearing that the woman might die. the nurse asked that physician might be summoned "If you send for one" said a policeman, q will arrest you" T will take my chances" said the nurse, and she summoned doctor. The officer, however, was as good as his threat, and the nurse is now detained a prisoner at Camp Perry. These are only few of the cases which have been reported st the headquarters of the Red Cross in this city.
