sound Sleepers.


 A Kilby-street business man recently at- tended an operatic performance which, in quality, was not conducive to a peaceful frame of mind. Returning thus with his wife to his south end residence late in the evening, he made the discovery that his keys were quietly resting in the pocket of his other trousers. He then rang the bell; he rang 1t again; he rang it until his arm ached. But the two servants slept the sleep of the just. His next move was to secure a club in the rear of the house with which he smashed a basement window. He was in that frame of mind which did not make him economical in the way of noise. Climbing in, he found himself baked again, the door to the upper part of the house being fastened on the other side. He went at it, however, and eventually the door gave away before his vigorous anG resoundipg blows. Then, admitting his wife through the front door, he immediately re. tired, being too throughly provoked to stoI knew a shrill cry pierced the air, ,sand a ser want shouted at the door of the sleeping apart ment in agitated tones: sOh Mir. -, some body broke into the house last night The | windows and the doors are all smashed!"

Manchester, N. H., Sept. 13, 1887. Lougee Medicine Co.,, Lynn, Mass:
 Gentlemen-For the past five years have been afflicted with Scrofulous Humor, which appeared in the form of unsghty eruptions on the face, and affected my general health 50 badly thatI was obliged to leave my place of employment, and in fact give labor altogether for the last two years I was under the care successively, of at least dozen skilful physicians but their efforts gave no permanent benefit. Various patent medicines were also tried, but to effect. tn May last friend called my attention to Dr. R. W. Lougee's vitalizing Compound. began to take it et once. but it was not until had used nearly twoibottles that any good results noticeable. From that time however, I began to gain and have continue to improve ever since. The blothes that disfig ured my face have now largely disappeared, my strength has returned in great measure, and my weakened nervous system is repaired. In fact. I have so greatly improved in every sense, by means of the vitalizing Compound, that shall continue it's use in the fullest confidence that it will com pletely restore me to health.

Washington Correspondence New York Times.l
 The Chinese minister, clothed in 8 volumi-
 nous wadded outer garment of pearl colored
 brocade, sat for the better part of an hour in
 the tea room beside Miss Florence Bayard,
 who poured tea from large copper samover,
 with his folded arms leaning on the table.
 The minister admiringly regarded the secre-
 tary's daughter, pauslng now and then in
 his contemplation to refresh his inner man
 with draughts of tea. Occasionally, when
 Miss Bayerd addressed her conversation to
 him, the minister would pucker up his
 face and give vent to delighted but un-
 canny laugh. The thumb of his left hand
 was ornamented with what resembled 6
 blue celluloid napkin ring. This, however,
 WAS simply the jadestone ring which he wears for luck. In froat of his cap, spark
 ling like the headlight on an engine, was a large, jeweled ornament, an insignia of
 rank. Beside the minister, in a mournful looking gown of dark blue, was the inter preter, and beyond him the sprightly but ancient looking Dr. Vow, who is the one member of the legation who announces himself as eligible for matrimony.
 Last week, when the minister made the round of calls, he reached Secretary Kay ards house suffering from a headache, and announced this fact to his hostess or enter- ing. He was condoled with and invited to take a seat on the sofa at her side, where she stood by the door to receive. This offer he accepted with alacrity, and at once sinking down among the cushions, crossed one leg over the other, and, with his left foot clasped in his hands in the most ridiculous fashion, at once went off to the land of dreams. Af- ter slumbering peacefully for hours as it seemed to his courteous young hostess, the interpreter made bold to rouse his celestial hi ghness and bundle him off to his carriage.

Among the poor popular remedy for rheumatism and other aches and pains, says the London Herald, ''is piece of new fan nel applied to the part affected. If one in- auires why new flannel is selected, the ex- plantation given will probably be that there is mysterious soil' in new flannel which is good for the pain; but, as @ matter of fact, the merit seems to consist in the power of irritating the skin, which new flannel pos sesses in greater degree than old.

 The cage of the "Arbieter fund" against the police of Chicago, which was referred to Judge Tuley for settlement, has been decid- ed in favor of the oomplainants. In sub- stance the decision is that the association has the right to peaceably assemble, and that the police cannot in advance of 8 contemplated meeting assume that is going to be illegal, and make that assumption pretext for it's prohibition. This decision will encourage the Chicago anarchists and socialists, but it will not do for them to take advantage of it. The agitation among Protestants is spread \ ing through the Dominion against the Jes- ! uits act, passed by the Quebec legislature, as an unconstitutional measure. The Orange
