"Last fall and winter was troubled
with a dull, heavy pain in my side. I
did not notice it much at first, but it
gradually grew worse until it became
almost unbearable. During the latter
part of this time, disorders of the stom-
ach and liver increased my troubles. 1
began taking Ayers Sarsaparilla, and.
after faithfully continuing the use of
this medicine for some months, the pain
disappeared and 1 was completely
cured" Mrs. Augusta A. Furbush,

A Chronicle reporter was invited to
view the specimen, its nature not having
yet been determined. 1t was manifestly
the head of the femar or thigh bone of
a prehistoric elephant-the mammoth
(elephas primi-genus). The sand drift in
which the bone was discovered belongs
to precisely the sociological epoch which
is usually associated with the remains of
FOSSIL elephants.
A tape measure passed around the
"knob'' at the broadest portion showed
that it was forty-three inches in circum-
ference. Transversely the measurement
was thirty mine inches. The shaft of the
bone at its narrowest portion was twenty
seven inches in circumference, or larger
than the thigh of stout man. The
length of the fragment was nearly three
feet. Assuming, on the principles of COM

of this thigh bone must have been from
fifteen to eighteen feet high at the time

The cancellated structure of the bone
is well shown in portions where fragments
have been Clipped off. The head of the
bone is to'erably well protected by a de-
posit of siliceous matter, but the proba-
bility is that unless carefully and quickly
preserved by sealing up the pores from
contact with air this interesting relic of

He is Given a Medal Of Honor for Gallant


Maj. L. j. Sacriste, 10th Pa, who now re-

on the morning of May the 5th he battery
took up position between the left of the 1I6th
Pa. and the Chancellor House, and at once
opened IRE, to which the enemy replied so
rapidly and accurately that almost all the
horses and men were either killed or wounded
and the battery silenced, aud but two Of the
artillerists remained at their posts. At this
juncture Major then Lieutenant, Sacriste, see
ing the Confederate infantry advancing upon
The battery, called upon his small company 10

HON. C. K. DAVIS.
Sketch Of the Chairman of the Senate COMMITTEES
on Pensions

ou AeHSiuHSs
Among the men who Justly stand highest in
the veterans admiration and esteem is Senator
Cushman K Davis, of Minnesota, Chairman of
the Pension Committee.
His face indicates at once keen knowledge
Of affairs and unusual scholarship combined,
with friendliness which is direct and genuine.
He was asked one day concerning his military
record, and replied: " only did my duty with
thousands ofothers" The fact is that he organ
lied his own company, taking a Lieutenant's
rank out of Difference to another man, slept
upon the ground. ate his hardtack marched,
fought and lay in hospital, doing his duty 4"
with the persistence and forgetfulness of self
that is ever consistent with the true patriot.
Asked one day concerning the honors conferred
upon him by his State, he answered Moth
ing bestowed upon me has ever given me the
pleasure that | feel now in being able to aid
in securing to my comrades what is justly
theirs, or helping some poor old widow who
writes to me about her claims !"
Senator Cushman Kellogg Davis was born in
Henderson, Jefferson Co., N. Y, June 16, 1888,
and graduated from the University of Michigan
in 1857. He was First Lieutenant in the 18th
Wis, and knew all the hard experience of the
volunteer soldiers life from 1862 to 1864, los
ing an eye III the service. In 1867 he was
elected to the Minnesota Legislature and was
United States District Attorney for Minnesota
from 1868 to 1873.
He served as Governor of Minnesota from
1874 to 1875, and was elected to the United
States Senate in 1887
Personally he attracts his confreres to him
self very closely, and already he has become
one of the most popular men in the Senate. A
colleague in speaking TO the writer, said: a
don't wish to draw invidious comparisons, but
if there is one man moro than another in the
United States Senate that l like thoroughly
through and through and all the time as
splendid, g-hearted, able fellow, that man is
Davis of Minnesota
Like all generous men and soldiers, he is
chiyalrous to women, gentle with children, aud
very fond of animals, especially dogs. A droll
illustration is given of the tickIeness of one of
his canine friends. A beautiful little skye sud
denly saw fit to change its affection from his
master to the Senator's wife, and from that
time forth the faithless little quadruped would
forbid the lady paying her liege lord the
smallest attention. Upon the slightest provoca-
tion the jealous little beast would grab the
Senatorial trowers-leg and hang OH as though
dignity didn't count for anything in this life
where dogs affections were concerned.
II any of the Grand Army comrades are in
doubt as to whether they have good friends on
the Pension Committee, let them rest assured
of the sympathy of Davis of Minnesota.

By Assistant Secretary BlL8sey.
In the case Of William w. Merritt, Co. E, 3ist
n. j., the evidence shows that near Falmouth
Va, March !, 1863, the claimant was standing
in the quarters Of comrades in conversation; a
comrade was lying on the ground directly in
front ot him with his knees drawn up and his
feet resting on the ground; a comrade standing
behind him gave him violent push which
threw him forward, fracturing his ribs. There
was no alteration or wranging aud the claim
ant did nothing to contribute to the injury,
which was purely accidental as to intent The
Assistant follows the rule laid down in the
zimmerman case, aud finds for the claimant.
In the case of Michael Bennett, Co. + 9th
\. Y. H A. Claimant had been detailed by
his Lieutenant for fatigue duty, viz, cutting
wood, 10 perform which an ak had been issued

or indirect. The former decision III this case
rejected the claim upon the ground that the
saber wounds were not received in line Of duty,
but We're incurred while resisting a superior
officer. The Assistant Secretary holds that the
claimant WAS not guilty Of eontributory negli-
gence when he received his injuries while in
the performance of his duty; that he was in
line of DEFY in resisting the attempt of an I'M

Edwin H. LOr-the Travellers Friend.

An institution of wonderful popularity has
grown up in New York city of late years. Every
one who has gone abroad knows the difficulty
in settling the question of what steamer to
take, what price TO pay. how to get the best
room at the lowest rate, and various other mat
ters especially perplexing to one making his
trip across the ocean. TO meet all these diff
culties Mr.. Edwin III. Low established the Up
town Steamship Exchange, and began the bust
ness of selling tickets on ali steamers, and above
all relieving travellers of every vexation and
annoyance incident to a trip abroad.
Another beauty of his business is that he
represents all the lines. He has no interest to
send passenger by one steamer rather than
another.
His tickets are good on all. Again, he sells
them just us cheap as the respective steamship
companies He takes charge of baggage from
the time it reaches the city till it is safely
slowed aboard ships. That means a great deal.
His agents meet ladies and children at the
depot in New York city, and they are under
his personal care till the ship leaves the dock.
Another agent of this ubiquitous friend of the
traveller stands ready at the wharf when the
steamer lands on the other side of the Atlantic
TO attend to all the wants of those whom he
has shipped. In London he has another Office,
where mail is received and the same accoGiino-
dations furnished as in New York.
In addition to all this ne changes the trav-
eiers money !sato anything from sovereigns to
yens, gives letters OF exchange and, in short, is
general consider of all griefs and alleYiator
OF travellers pains.
This Uptown Steamship Exchange is on
broadway, New YORK city, near the corner OF
Twenty-third street.
