A Life On the ocean Wave.

Indurates the stomach against sea-sickness
but single CT occasional transit across the
"illimitable wetuess" is productive o.
grievous qualms, especially when it is
stormy. Ocean travellers, yachtmen. shir
surgeons, commercial buyers sent abroad
voyagers by steamboat, and all who are oc
casionally or frequently called upon to be
where billows are buffeted," should take
along Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. the
finest known antidote for sea-sickness, ma.
laris, billiousness, and disorders of the
stomach and bowels. Many travellers by
railroad, with delicate stomachs and nerves
likewise suffer severely en- route. These
will find the bitters surely helpful and con.
solatofy. Travelling, even in swift, steady
and commodious steamships and sumptu.
Gus palace cars, is not always q source OF
unmixed joy and delight, and the Bitters
does much to counteract the disconaforts
attending it, aggravated by delicate health
Rheumatism, brought on by damp weather
kidney troubles and debility, are effectually
reviewed by the bitters.

A BLOODY TRAGEDY.
Two Men Killed Near Memphis by
Negro Sexton.


MEMPHIS, September 30th.-A terrible
tragedy was enacted this afternoon about
four miles from this city, at Gjll's Station.
The particulars are as follows A party of
three white men-J. d. Smith, w. w. East
man and ]. B. Jordan, all residents of
Memphis-took a trip on the dummy line
which runs near Gill's Station. They were
strolling about, and Smith, seeing mule
in the road, remarked that he thought he
would take ride.
As he approached the animal, Jim Con-
ley, a negro, called out to him to let the
mule alone, at the same time applying in
sulting epithets. Smith and Eastman
started toward Conley Jordan remon-
strated against them going, but they en-
tered the yard. Conley ran into the house
and shut the door. A second later shot
gun was thrust through a window and dis
charged. The contents struck Eastman in
the head, killing him instantly.
Smith ran over 10 where Eastman was,
and as he was leaning over the dead body
the other barrel of the gun was discharged.
He was struck in the left side with several
buckshot and is mortally wounded.
Conley, after the shooting, fled. He has
been Sexton of the Sons of Zions Cemetery
for fourteen years, within the grounds OF
which the killing occurred The iury at
the inquest held exonerated Conley, who
it was proved was defending his farm from
assault.

WASHINGTON, September 3Oth.-When
the two houses of Congress are called to

will have become the longest, by twenty
four hours, III American history. The
largest preceding session was that of 1850

which was adjourned at noon on Septem-
Der Both. Constructively the session of

The present House of REPRESENTATIVES
has not had quorum for several weeks,
out such business as could be done by
unanimous consent has been done. Asone
OF the regular annual appropriation bills
and the general deficiency bell are still
before conferees of the two houses, it can
not yet be said that the years regular work
for either house is finished
The tariff bill will be reported TO the Sen
ate on Tuesday or Wednesday, and is to be
taken up Tor debate on Monday of next
week
The unfinished business of the Senate is
the bill TO forfeit the unearned portion of
the Northern Pacific land grant, upon
which Senator Berry will tomorrow de-
liver speech, defending the public land
record of the Democrats, in answer to the
speech of Senator Plumb last week. 1t is
expected Senator Dolph will also make a
speech on the measure.
Senator Chandler. looking to an investi-
cation of political methods in Louisiana, is
likely to furnish the text for further politi-
cal speaking during the week The Terri
torial admission bills are recognized as
having the right of way. Next to them
consideration of the Sherman trust bill is
regarded as possible
The Senate has, however. consistently
disregarded all its programmes for several
weeks past. Nothing but purely political
measures can be held to be probable SUBJ
jects of debate during the session. The
daily session of the House of Representa-

during the present week. The general de-

Everything about her spoke of wretched-

woman and spoke to her. The unfortunate

face cried:

to drink I've been lying here so long !"
Her voice was unsteady and her parched
lips could hardly form words, but still she
begged: Give me a drink, please, sir.
