SO. 900 Found in an Ash Barrel.

A New York rag g-picker is reported to
have found 10000 in greenbacks in an
ash barrel. This was rare piece Of good
luck, but how much more fortunate is the
sufferer from the consumption who learns
that although the doctors may have pro-
nounced his case hopeless, Dr.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery will cure him.
Consumption is scrofulous disease Of the

there is no resisting it, if taken in time.
In all scrofulous or other blood taints,

OVER THEIR GRAVES.

BY HENRY JEROME sTOCKARD, OF NORTH
CAROLINA.
[From the Century for October.l
Over their graves rang once the bugIe cau,
The searching shrapnel, and the Crashing
ball;
The shrek the shock of battle, and the neigh
OF horse: the cries of anguish and dlsmay,
And the loud cannon's thunders that appalL
Through the years the brown pine needles
fall,
The vines run riot by the old stone wall,
BY hedge, by meadow streamlet, far away,
Over their graves!
We love our dead where'er so held in
thrall,-
Than they no Greek more bravely died, nor
Gaul,-
A love that's deathless. But they look to day
With no reproaches on us when we say,
Come let us clasp your hands, we are
brothers all
Over their graves!

Washington, Oct 1s.-Ihe Gilman repreIeN''', '"-

.,raen tho representative from Belgium and tho
delegates from the Flowery Kingdom. IL shouid
no eynlained nerhaps that the several countries

.noo hoord This brings the delegates from France
"a co-manv elbow TO elbow so that Captain
p;nh.rd Of the French Navy, and Captain Men
.srg Of the German Navy, sit side by side 1t is
. .oted that. while many " side remarks" are eX-
changed between the delegates from other nations
in the intervals of general discussion, the repre-
.entatives of the two countries mentioned have
not thus far fallen into that habit as regards each
sther. It is noted also that the two German
delegates who do the talking for that country
invariably speak in English, of which both pos
sess an excellent knowledge. In the discussion To-
day the English language was used by Bel
rum, China, Norway, Sweden and the Meth
erands as well as by Germany, Great
Britain and the United States. In this relation
an interesting incident happened. Delegates
from Chill and France had spoken in French, and
the discussion was about TO proceed, when Gap
tain Selvesen, of the Norwegian Royal Navy, rose
and begged thai the remarks delivered in French
be readily the stenOgrapher in English, q language
which he could better understand.
While the discussion to-day, as on yesterday,
was led by Mr. Goodrich and Mr.. Hall, the number
of delegates who took part in it was much
greater. 1t was seen, too, that the practical
seamen had more 10 say. Captain Shac6ford, OF
the United States merchant service, spoke several
times, and did not hesitate boldly 10 challenge
and oppose some of the views maintained by the
able O. c., Mr. Hall. Captain NorcrosS also
had some suggestions to offer, and Captain Samp-
san l.. s. n, spoke several times. Other naval
officers who took part in the discussion We're
Captnin Mensing, OF the German navy; Captain
Richaud, of the French Navy Captain SeyeSen,
Of the Norwegian Navy; Captain Malmberg, of
the Swedish Navy, and Commander Van Steyne,
Of the Netherlands Rayal Navy.
1t is apparent that there is n radical difference
Of opinion among the delegates in regard TO
certain matters of detail This fact shown
to-day in the discussion relating to the kinds,
use and position of lights on pilot boats, which
was not concluded when the Conference adjourned.
The dispute as to whether the length Of q ship
shall be- expressed in feet metres may not
prove so serious, although it provoked a lively
debate to-day. But it is already evident that
good temper and mutual concessions will be
necessary to bring the work of the Conference to
satisfactory cOncusiOn-One which Will result in
practical action by the several governments, TO a
common end.

HAWAII NOT WILLING TO BE ANNEXED

Cabinet October made long reply to tho native
mass-meetng at Honolulu, that demanded TO know
whether the Ministry favored protectoraie by the
United States. The gist of the reply is that Hawaii
needs fuller reciprocity with the United States but
that nothing will be tolerated which interferes with
the complete independence of the Islands. 1t declares
that the present treaty is restricted that virtually
frse trade should be established between the two
countries. In regard TO annexation, after re
viewing the fate of Gamma and other South sea
Islands the reply says
The Cabinet of the opinion that everything points
to the United States as their natural ally, and with
this object in view the Hawaiian repre- entative at
Washington had been Instructed to negotiate a
reciprocity treaty with the United States including
guarantee of perfect autonomy for the islands.
The annexation scheme is thus knocked in the head.
