Lagarde's elixir for sick headache.

A Bangor gentleman who recently
Travelled in Europe, while On a Ger
man railroad fell in with a German
who had partially mastered the
English language. The two en-
gagged in conversation when it ap.
pearcd that the German was a d.
rector of the road. After a while
the latter asked the Bangorian. who
was accompanied by his wife and
two other ladies. "Are all these
ladies' Of your party?' On being
answered in the affirmative he en-
deavored to be complimentary by
remarking. "Ah! They are re.
markably fine specimens"

soil would remove surplus water,

Books are a guide in youth and an
entertainment in age. They sup
port US under solitude and keep US
from becoming a burden to our
selves. They help US to forget the

are weary Of living we may rcpair
to the dead, who have nothing OF
p%eevishness, pride or design in their
conversation.

the defense introduced Apostle John
Henry Smith, who swore that no disloyal
oaths were administered. The injunc-
ton to avenge the blood Of the prophets
was general, and did not apply to Jo-
seph and Hyram Smith more than
too theirs. When pressed regarding tho
throat-cutting and disemboweling penal
ties, he refused to answer. When he
protested obedience to the laws he was
asked If he had obeyed the law against
polygamy, and declined to answer. Elder
Clark, also for the defense, didn't re-
member any thing bad in the endow-
ment oaths or declined to answer.

TROUBLE IN VENEZUELA.

Gu1man Said to Have Been Repudiatcd
by the Government and People.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1s.-There ia excit-
ing news from Venezuela. The reign
of General Guzman-Blanco as director,
it appears, is at an end, both the people
and the Government having repudiated
him. A letter just received from a
prominent gentleman at the capital of
Venezuela says:
ION Saturday, October 20, the statues of the
tllustrious Americans were demolished, most
~ by the youth Of Caracas, headed by our stu.
dents. The Government did nothing to disturb
the perpetrators. 1t appears even that at least
tho Governor, DR.. Cassanos, and the chief OF
police were rather in the complot. One
party went to Guzman's estate in the
east OF the city, called Lacuadra, which was in
vaded and badly used. The house was broken
into and the furniture was broken into pieces.
Nearly at th. same hour the statues Of Guzman
! in other towns in Venezuela were likewise
thrown down. The President on October 90
wrote decree, signed by all the Minister'S, that
the statue OF old Guzman should be replaced
rs soon as possible by another. This de-
cree has produced considerable disgust in
some quarters, and from it may spring forth a
dissention having ugly consequences. The
Minister Of Foreign Affairs, Or. A. Parejo, i'm.
mediately resigned his ONCE, and the Govern.
| ment accepted the resignation. think
by the next French mail General Guzman
will receive his letter Of withdrawal as Min

IT is dangerous to let a man die In .
hotel in Paris. A queer French law
enables the landlord to present his bill
to the relatives for the death. Seven
hundred francs was the item recently
demanded from an American family for
the decease of one of it's members in
a well-known hotel. This extortion
would have been three times as great If
the person had died of a contagious dis
ease, and doubled if the deceased was a
Prince or a member Of any rich arts
focratic family. The allowances by
the judges, however, are generally
mulch less than the claims of the land
