PITTsBURG, July 27.-At the sug-
gestion of Leach, surveyor OF the port
of Philadelphia, the Pittsburg apprais-
ers have decided to admit English
wool at 10 cents per pound instead OF
80 or 60 cents, according to classified
ton, as heretofore. This will make
English wool cheaper than American
and raises fears that the local WOO
industry will be ruined.

a general revival of trade at j. W.

to their customers of so many free trial
bottles of DIR. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption. Their trade is simply
enormous in this very valuable article

WASHINGTON, July 27.-Secretary
Noble has decided that the request
of the Greek Indians to be paid $780,
900 from the S2,OOO,OOO deposited TO
their credit in the treasury cannot be
allowed without the consent of con-
gress, and the Indians have been so
Informed. The report that the In
dians have been defrauded of S46S, ,0OO
is wrong. OF the $2,280,0O0 which
went to the Creeks for lands, congress
provided that S2.000,000 should go in
to the treasury to their credit and the
remainder be paid to their representa-
tives on the presentation of proper
certifcations from the Cherokee coun
Gil. This was done; but, as the repre-.
sentatives claimed that the $28O,OOt
was expended here for lawyers, etc.
in getting the bill through, the Indians
have demanded an investigation, anC
a special agent has been sent to as

horrible cruelty as it crunches all the
physical, mental and moral life out o
its shrieking slave and drags him dow

early death.

4 STARTLING DISCOVERY.

ACCORDING to reports from Paris
published in the Courier deS EtGtS-
Ulis. DIR. Brown-Sequard has form
ally announced to a French scientific
body the discovery by himself of what
appears to be an elixir of life as po-
tent as that which Bulwer dallied
with in "Zanoni'' and Margrave used
in Strange Story"
The discovery is of a medicament
which. when administered by hypo-
dermic injection, restores the aged
and decrepit to youthful vigor and
sets lingering convalescents upon their
Iecs again, as so many nostrums are
alleged to do but do not.
We fail to grasp with clearness
whether DIR. Brown-Sequard hopes
to prolong life indefinitely or
not. and probably his expert
ments have not yet enabled him to
express a confident opinion on that
subject. But if his elixir can make the
old young again there seems to be nc
satisfactory reason-barring accident
why anybody who keeps his hands
off the electric-light wires or doesn't
run a newspaper, should cease tt
live.
At first sight the news of such
discovery seems altogether good. L
will remove the cemetery factor from
water-supply problems, settle the ere
nation question and exterminate tin
race of undertakers. But there ar
other aspects of the matter whicl
are appalling. The pressure OF POI
ulation upon the means of subsistenc
is very great, though not so great q
Mr.. Nautilus anticipated, and If tn
safety-valve of the death-rate Is to b
shut down this little world OF ours
going to be uncomfOrtably crowded.
A more dreadful thought is that a
the Objectionable persons we kno
are sure to be the first users OF I'll
new elixir. Objectionable persons,
the reader must have observed, al
the very tardiest of all human being
in dying, and as a rule they obst
nately refuse to give up the gho
until it is too late for their departu
to relieve or comfort anybody. Armt
with DIR. Brown-Sequard's elixir tht
would never consent to die at all.
No, life is distressingly short, al
we often wish for long lien upon
but the price exacted even for pI
longed existence, with youth a
health for appurtenances, may be
high, and unless a considerable p
portion of every mans acqualntan'
can be enjoined against the use OF
new elixir the public will not reg;
DIR. Brown-Sequard as a benefactor

THE celebrated Kong mountains OF
Africa are about to follow the mount
aims of the Moon, which have been
expunged from the maps. These
mountains were supposed to be
stretched across Africa for ten degrees
of longitude about two hundred miles
north of the Gulf of Guinea. Captain
Binger, who has now returned from
nearly two years exploration in the
almost unknown regions north of the
Gulf of Guinea, says there is no sucE

The Hog Story Retold.

Special TO the Gazette.
BoNHAM, TEX, Feb. 12.-Several
weeks ago an item went the rounds of the
press to the effect that hog had been
killed in the eastern part of this county
in whose stomach had been found guam
tity of nails, iron staples, 3 pillow clevis
etc. No one credited the tale, everybody
considering it a MulhattOn story. 1t
now transpires that the item was true +,
the evidence Of many of the citizens in
the county being offered to substantiate
it. A. j. Self, the gentleman who owned
the hog, was in town to-day and brought
with him the collection of articles taken
from the animal s stomach, which are,
thirty-one eight-penny nails, twenty
eight two pronged fencing sta
pies, the handle of brass
spoon, the portion of a pillow,
clevis and several balls of sulphur, the
size of a man thumb. Col. Self says
the animal swallowed the nails and
staples last spring and has carried them
ever slice until killed about six weeks
ago The hog was placed in a pen with
mates but would never fatten to any de-
gree of satisfaction and kept up squeal
ing great portion of the time.
