A THOUSAND MEN IN ARMS.
More BloOdshed in the Mountain
 Regions of Kentucky

A thousand men, armed with Winchester and Colt revolrcrs, arc in the mountains of Knox and Harley counties, Ky, and Clair- borne County, Tenn. .,and a rain of terror and bloodshed prevails. Everybody in the coun' ties named is related to every body else, and when any two have trouble the relatives side with whichever of the disputants they like the better, and a feud that sometimes results however, comparative quiet has rcigned. The factional disputes occurred little over year ago. when General Sowdcrs deliberately shot Lee Turner in the parlor of an hotel: Since then Sow,lers, who has killed no fewer than eight men, has been afugitlve from justice, hiding in the woods-hrst ill this State and then ill Tennessee-a reward of 5000 having been offered for him.
 sheriff's posse was sent to arrest the rioters, but it was fired upon and driven back to Barhourville. It was then that Judge Gull himself headed posse and made for the mountains. Another pitched battle resulted, but the Judges party, strong and well armed, got the better of 1t, and succeeded III arrest ing five of the desperadoes, among them two of the Messers and Galloway Carncs, a broth- CT of the deputy sheriff of the county. Tho sheriff's posse is in the mo ountaius after others of the outlaws and it is likely a dozen more lives will be sacrificed ill the effort now mak- ing to enforce the laws. Not only are the people of city and country alarmed but those of Knox county as well. and nobodyvcntures out unarmcd and few uuaccompanicd by a friend. Word was received that m fight near Salt Trace four men were killed and hall a dozen wounded. Additional achievements have gone out.

CONSUL KNAPPE CENSURED.
Bismarck Asserts that the Repre- sentative Lost His Head.


 A despatch from Berlin says: The Govern ment has issued q white book on Samoan af fairs It shows that on March Prince Bis marck wrote to Herr Steubel, the newly ap- pointed Consul of Germany to Samoa, de- scribing the conduct of pr. Knappe. his pre- decesSor in the office, as lacking in calmness and coolness and contrary to the i:nes of Emperor Williams policy, with which Dr. Knappe had been we'll acquainted. Dr. Knappe, Prince Bismarck wrote, apparently lost his head, owing to letter from Herr Branders, Tamaseses Prime Minister, which was published in the last white book and the presence of three men-of-war at Samoa.
 Referring to Dr. knappe's subsequent pro- posal to annex Samoa, Prince Bismarck re- iterates his view that to seek to effect change in the political situation in Samoa without the consent of England and America would not accord with treaty arrangements. Knappe's action in connection with the qnes- ton of annexation is incOmprehenslb ble, be- cause his experience and instructions ought to have shown him that his desire to annex Samoa was opposed to the policy conducted by the Chancellor in conformity with the Elm peror's intentions. Knappe justified the arrest of the Englishman Gallien on on the ground that the latter had recom- mend " Mataafa to apply to Mr. Grey, ex- Governor of New Zealand, for assistance. h. vestigation proved that Gallien was not aware of the significance of his acts.
 Prince Bismarck. in his letter to Herr Steubel, further said that Dr. Knappe was neither authorized to declare war martial law, and in any ease there could be no ques- ton of enforcing the latter against foreign CTS His conduct both towards agents Ot other powers and the natives, lacked the calmness and coolness indispensable for the correct treatment of international questions His repeated official assumption that the Ger man Government had authorized such pro- ccdurc on his part rests on a wiiiul miscon- ception or q mistake, which it is difficult to axnlaiu

DESPERATE BOOMERS.
They Have 8 Little Scrimmage with
 Soldiers and are Whipped.

The boomers have fed to the woods near Wichita, Kan, and the bushes upon the ap- pearance of Lieut.. Carson and his soldiers; scouts were sent to SCOUT the country and hunt them down, but to use no unnecessary violence. In what is called the Crutch coun- try, northeast from Oklahoma station, was 9ulte a large party that had gathered around William Beck. Among the number was his daughter, his relative, Samuel Anderson, and an old man named William Adams Ihelr house, good-sized frame building, and their dugout had been destroyed in former raid, and they had a most bitter hatred of the troops. Their hiding place was discov- Lieut.. Carson, who sent out a detachment to either drivo them out or arrest them As soon as the boomers saw the troops coming they were determined to stand their ground and protect themselves
 Being surroundrd and called upon to de- part without trouble they commenced par leying and said that some of the troops might be found in the same predicament as those that assaulted old man Miller some years ago, referring to two colored infantry soldiers who, a few weeks after they had slapped Miller. were found dead These threats enraged the soldiers, and they rode upon the party who were all standing ready with gun and revolver in hand. Then the soldiers halted, and, by an adroit move ment. part Of the boomers were disarmed but Anderson and old Adams held out and made desperate resistance with their guns. The former received a terrible blow from tho butt of a revolver over the head, and the latter was struck in the mouth. Then tho boomers took up. clubs and stones and fought with desperation. They were, how ever, no match for the overwhelming number of soldiers, and were soon compelled to give up. Several of the soldiers received slight wounds, but nothing severe. While the sol- dlers were tying them with ropes to lead back to the camp, Adams darted into the bushes and made his escape.
 The others were all brought to the camp and are now being held awaiting further orders.

DEAD MEN ON A LIFE RAFT.

Is this All that's Left of the Gnn-
 boat Conscrva?
 The steamer Colorado, which arrived at her pier, New York harbor, brought along tale of mystery and sllipwreck During her voy- age the man on watch saw q white object about O mile away. When the steamer got nearer to tho object it was found to be a life raft, such as is used by steamers. On it lay two men with their faces downward. A boat was lowered from the Colorado, aud Second Officer Thomas and Boatswaiu Echcnagocia rowed out with two men. Both the men on the raft were dead, and their bodies were stiff as if frozen One was tai, and well-built He ha,. dark hair and a small 1nuustachc. There were no signs of violence about him.
 The other man was smaller, with a smooth dark face and long black hair It was the common verdict that he had been a fireman. He wore jumper and ovcral]s The fingers of both men were stained with nicotine from cigarette sm okng.
 The little raft was ofthc sm allest kind made and, contrary to custom, bore neither .he name nor tho flag of the ship to which it belonged. The only mark by which it could be identified was O small steel plate, which was fastened to it aud which was in- seribed: Captain Jonathan Colc builder, Wilmington, Del"
 card bearing the name of a grocer in Hav- re was found in the pocket of the taller man. It is thought that the men belonged to some steamer that had been wrecked. Only steam CTS carry such liic-rafts. Some think the vcs- sel was the Conserna, lately the Madrid, the Dominican ConRl,l's man-of-war which left Brooklyn sound nominally for Samnnu.

FOOD FOR REFLECTION.

The New York World of February 9th, 'nyf; yy'rh. ouest;on o,to how much of whv, they pretend to know doctors really know isa very interesting one
 "They possess exceptionally great facilities for humbugging, and the presumptionis that they are not proof in most cases, ut all times a least. against temptation to make use oi them. Their profession comes as near being an esoteric one as any that Is acknowledged their views in the Robinson Q senical polson- ing cases in Boston is startling.
 "There were five deaths from the drug, and the doctors in their certificates attributed them respectively to pneumonia. typhoid fever meningitis, bowel disease and BrighCs disease of the kidneys. Tho truth would nave never been known but for suspicious. with which tho doctors had nothing to do There is food here for rehection-and for doctors
 The above criticism is fully warranted by the startling ignorance shown by the attend. ing physicians in the Somcrville cases.
 It can be aptly said that human life is too often sacrificed to the ignorance and bigotry of the profession.
 Too often it happens that fatal results fol. low an improper course of treatment-the physician treats the patient for consumption. general debility or for nervous disorders. whilst the real disease, which IS slowly de stroying tho kidneys and filling the system with O poison quite as deadly us arsenic, is altogether overlooked or does not attract attention until too late.
 Physicians too off Il treat the symptoms of disease instead of the disease itself.
 It is we'll established that four-ffths of the ordinary ills which beset humanity are tho results of disease in the kidneys which will yield to the curative properties of Warmer 8 Safe Cure if timely uscd and to it alone. What is apparently disease in the other organs is more oftentimes a mere symptom of kidney disease, whicl, should be quickly cradicated by Warmers Safe Cure before # secures too firm hold on those organs.

Figs the Ideal Fruit.

One of the Persian kings caused the celebrated Attic figs to be set before him whenever he dined, for one reason, to remind him that the land where they grew was not yet his, and that instead of receiving the fruit as tribute he was obliged to buy it from abroad; and for another, that it was not onl y the emblem of health, but the most wholesome fruit grown. The fig is now pretty we'll known to be, especially at certain seasons, al- most the common food of the Italian people, and for months they may be said to live entirely upon them. It is not the superhuous, the luxurious, and thus, as Dr. Nichols says, it is not only possible for man to live upon figs, but that, sitting under his own vine and fig tree, a man would have plenty of food and no landlord. When eaten fresh 1t is medicine as we'll as food; and they who eat them freely need no potions and no aperients. Full of nutrition and all those properties that make it valuable as an article of diet, we are confident that the fig will take prominent position in the estimation of all who work for and believe in food reform. For myself I would simply add that, again and again, without liquid of any kind, the luscious green fig, eaten with whole meal bread, has formed dish at once simple but rich, and like the Spaniard's salad, fit for 0 king. The fig is not only very popular, but it is the most ancient fruit we cultivate. In many countries the failure of this crop also means starvation and famine. Travellers in Asia Minor and Southern Europe provide themselves with figs and olives as provisions for journeys, and not only live, but grow fat on the diet. The fig has more medi- cinal properties and more nutriment than any other fruit, with the exception of the olive.-San Francisco Chronicle

During the win ter of 1SS7-S he frequently complained of in- digestion and muscular rheumatism, and as the spring wore on began to suffer from ob- stinate diarrhpa, from which he lost 0 great deal of strt -. tn, and flesh. Acting upon the advice of hns physicians and friends, who had great hopes that a change of air might prove a lasting benefit, he went to Massachusetts, stopping for some time at Lenox and then at Nantucket. but he continued to lose ground. During the sum- mer he had several attacks of muscular rheu- matism, associated with high fever, which would conhne him to his bed for several days at time. On his return home he began to improve somewhat, but he continued to sui fer from the intereurrcnt attacks, which al- ways greatly reduced his strength and flesh. These came on at intervals of three or four weeks. Between them he would have periods of marked improvement, and several times, when Dr. Johnston was confidently hoping to get him out, another attack would pros trate him and leave him weaker than ever. rather sudden change for the worse took place on the morning of his dcath

 Political differences at Ottawa, Ont, have been almost entirely forgotten in the excite ment aroused over the Jesuit bill and the re- ligious war now waging between the extreme Protestant and Catholic factions. From matters temporal to matters spiritual, from unrestricted reciprocity to Jesuit endowment, the attention of the Dominion Parliament has been diverted, and while for the present the agitation may have no marked effect upon the completion of the House of Commons, it IS certain to prove the death warrant, polit- ically. to many members.

 In the House of Commons Sir Vim. Vernon Harcourt, rcsumiug the discussion regarding the Parncll Commission, declared that Attor- ney- y-Gcneral Wcbster's identification with the Commission had destroyed the impression that the Government would be impartial and had added weight to the 'Times's" charges.

 Attorney-General Webster replied, that but for the duty he owed those who trusted him. he would not have noticed tho charges made by Sir William Harcourt.
