The Owners of the Doughty Fail to
Get Their Money.

Some time ago it was announced in the
PRESS that the Canadian government had
settled the Doughty case, or had agreed to
pay the owners of the vessel $500. The
owners-as we are Informed by Mr.. Lord. of
Sargent, Lord & Skilln, one of the owners
through their counsel, Messrs. Woodman &
Thompson, requested that their permit to
touch and trade should be returned to them
with the bond they gave the Canadian gov
eminent when the Doughty was seized, and
the money awarded them. The counsel in
Canada, however, claimed $3.50 for legal ex-
penses. When this fact was made known
to Mr.. Putnam. Mr.. Lord says that gentle
man stated that the government had paid
$500 for services. and that the counsel had
no right to charge this $50. Nevertheless,
the firm ordered their counsel to instruct the
Canadian lawyers to take out the $3.50 from
the 5000, and send them the balance, $3.50.
Mr.. Lord says the firm have not seen any
signs of the money yet.
In the cases of the George w. Cushing and
G. b. Harrington, the two vessels were fined

DIR. /. e. Fowler, OF Bridgeport,

in my practice"
DIR. Mayhem, Of New Bedford. Mass,
says: Having prescribed many thou
sands Of Ayers Pills, In my practice,
can unhesitatingly pronounce them the
best cathartic in use."
The Massachusetts, State Assayer, DIR.
A. A. Hayes, certifies Il have made a
careful analysis Of Ayers Pills. They
contain the active principles Of WELL
known drugs Isolated from inert mat
ter, which plan Is, chemically speaking,
Of great importance 10 their usefulness.

He bad been reduced in flesh from 200 pounds TO
81 He was first taken with pain in the side. 1t
would come one day and disappear the next. This
continued for month or two; then the pain be-
came constant, and his general health became im-
paired. His heart became very SORT. He suffer-
ed from distress d breathing and genera swell
ling 1 the chest and abdonen; terrible pains
would seize him in different parts OF the body,
and he says At times he woud have such Jump
ing pain in his limbs that he would feel as If they
were ioosened from his body His To que was
heavily coated and attended With disagreeable
taste in his mouth, and dizzy. full sensation in
the head. His sleep was disturbed with frightfd
dreams. and his arms and legs would become
numb. II stomach became very sore, and the
food eaten distressed him. His complexion
changed to a dark saffron. His hair dropped out
and his bowels we're terribly constipated He be-
came wasted to a mere skeleton. During all these
long years OF suffering Mr.. Slattery had doctored
constantly, and always declared there was some
thing that would eventually restore him TO health
Two months ago he heard OF Drs Smith and Nc
Mullen, the magnetic physicians, at the U. S.

treatment, and his restoration TO health has been
wonderful indeed. He is now a well and happy
man, and enjoys to the fullest extent the COM
forts of health. Mr.. Slattery says after he read
the advertisement of Drs. Smith and McMullen,

his dream has come true.

THE ORIGIN OF "CSEEsrNUT."

Mr.. Joseph Jefferson is responsible Tor
the latest explanation of the word chest
mt" He attributes the introduction of
the word in its slang sense to Mr.. William
Warren. the veteran comedian of Boston.
ssTbere is a melodrama," Mr.. Jefferson
said to a reporter, ''but little known to the
present generation, written by William
Dillon and called The Broken Sword
There were two characters in it, one a
Capt. Zavier and the other the comedy
part of Pablo. The captain is a sort OF
Baron Munchausen, and in telling of his
exploits says: 81 entered the woods OF
Galloway, when suddenly from the boughs
of a cork tree'-Pablo interrupts him with
the words: "a chestnut, captain; a chest
nut Bah! replies the captain. Bobby,
| say a cork tree A chestnut reiterates
Pablo. Il should know as well as you,
having heard you tell the tale these twenty
seven times William Warren who had
often played the part of Pablo was at a
stag dinner two years ago when one OF
the gentlemen present told a story of
doubtful age and originality. "A chestnut,
murmured Mr.. Warren, quoting from the
play, 4 haye heard you tell the tale these
twenty-seven times The application of
the lines pleased the rest of the table, and
when the party broke up each helped to
spread the story and Mr.. Warren's com
mentary. And that" concluded Mr.. Jetfer-
son, sis what | really believe to be the orr
gin of the word chestnut"
