VIII Wed q King.

In Loudoun county, Virginia, not very
far from Washington, there is girl who
will some day contract an alliance with
King. Her dresses on that occasion will
not be particularly splendid, and for that
reason, perhaps, the event has not at
tracted the attention that such marriages
usually do. The truth is the girl is a
negress, and the man she will marry is
King of tribe in Africa. She is at pres
emit being trained for her future position
in African court circles, and is an inmate
of the family of the Rev. John Chester,
clergyman who several years ago was
missionary to the western coast of Africa.
His wife became very fond of young
African girl while he was there, and ask
cd permission that she return with them
when they left the Dark Continent. Her
father thinking the missionary was jok-
ing, gave bis consent, but when the time
came for parting wanted to be released
from his promise. Chester still persisted
In his reqeust, and finally, as no member
of the tribe Is allowed under pain of
death to break promise, he had to al
low bis daughter to depart. The child
was given the English name of Nellie
instead of the uDpronounceable one she
at first possessed, and although Chester
already had children of his own she was
treated as a member of the family. Since
Nellie has been IN the United States she
has made great progress in her'educaton,
and now at the age of 10 is a model of
scholarship and poiteness. She can
speak French aud English well and COM
bines the winning ways of an American
-. 18th fla nn1ifanaoe of Partisan
Nellie looks much older than she really is
and would beeligible to marriage If she
were with her own tribe. Since they
came here the Chesters have kept up a
correspondence with the parents of the
girl, who have been delighted with the
progress which they have learned that
she is making under her instructions
About month ago they received letter
from her father asking that she be return
ed to Africa, as the King wished to
claim his bride. / he tribe of which
she is a member IL a polygamous one, and
Chester refused TO do this unless the girl
was to be the Kings only Queen. The
King, who IS charmed with tie stories
about Nellie, has promised to do as asked,
and it is likely that within a few months
Nellie will be sent back to mount throne
in her native land. She has had several
offers of marriage from negroes living
near her home. but she has refused them
all, and the King will find her heart
whole and fancy free. Afrcan-lIke, she
does not caro- much for sentiment, and
seems perfectly content to wed a man
many years her senior and whom she has
not seen since she was very small child.

Ghost Dance Goes On.
THE RED SKINS WORKED UP TO A STATE OF
PERFECT FRENZY.

PERfkCI fKENLf.
BISMARCK, n. D., Nov. 25.-The ghost
dance is being kept up by crazy Indians
at Standing Rock. This is about the only
excitement now at the agency. The
dance works the red skins up to terrible
frenzy. The military authorities are do
have become workable demons and are
liable to make serious trouble.
There is no truth in the report that the
Indian police throw off their badges and
Join the dances. Several, however, are
shaky. The Indians dance day and night,
and only quit when totally exhausted
Several have died from the effects. They
90 through a sort of sweating process be-
fore entering upon the dance.
Sitting Bull has gained moro popularity
among the Indians lately on account of
prophesying there would be no winter
this year. The weather 90 far has been
remarkably fine, something unprecedent-
ed this season of the year, and the Indians
are now inclined to look upon Sitting
Bull as a great prophet and of the proper
stuff to lead his forces to victory should
there be occasion for hOstilities against
the whites.
1t is difficult for correspondent to OBJ
tain news from army headquarters. The
officials are very reticent regarding mill
tary movements, and the newspaper man
must be alert, as he has to work in an
atmosphere pregnant with mysteries. The
officers are assuring settlers that there is
no danger of an uprising, but the old
timers know more about Indians than the
West Point graduate, and are preparing
for an outbreak.

That Little Tickling

In your throat, which makes you cough
once in a while and keeps you constantly
clearing your throat, arises from catarrh
and as catarrh is constitutional disease
the ordinary cough medicines all fail to
hit the spot. What you need is a con-
remedy like Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. Many people who have taken this
medicine for scrofula, dyspepsia, loss of
appetite, and other troubles, have been
surprised that 1t should cure this trouble
some cough. Bot to know the actual cause
of the cosgh is to solve the mystery. Many
cases of consumption can be traced back
to the neglect of some such slight affection
as this. Consumption can be controlled
in its early stages, and the effect of
Hoods Sarsaparilla in purifying the
blood, building up the general health,
and expelling the scrofulous faint
which is the cause of catarrh and con-
has restored to perfect health
many persons on whom this dreaded dis
ease seemed to have a firm hold.

Prof. Koch,s Discovery.

BERLIN, Nov. 2O.-Emperor Frederick
who explained to his Majesty the results
already obtained from the use Of his
curative lymph, and the benefit be hoped
would be conferred upon humanity by its
general use.
The Frank Courier says that the lymph
used by Prof. Koch for the cure of
tuberculosis is prepared IN an incubst:ng
stove, within a space that Is Dramatically
sealed and sterllized, and thereby rendered
free from fungus. The interior of the
air-tight space is divided by an unglazed
porcelain diaphragm into an upper and
lower section. In the upper section is
placed sailed meat broth, In gela-
tinous state, containing colonies OF the
tubercle germ. This macs gradually
hquefies and the gelstIns liquid drops
slowly through the porcelain plate into
the lower section. Tbs liquid then con-
tains all the secretory products, but Is
free from all living or dead germs or re-
productive spores, and 10 the lymph -
used.
By the injection Of the lymph the
tubercle germ is killed, and, at the same
time, the injected particles retain suf-
fcient strength to detach and expel the
dead germs, toge,he with the dead tissue.
The reparative process ensues and healing
follows.
A meeting of the Medical Society was
held to-day at which Prof. Virchow pre-
sided. Prof Virchow made an address in
which he defended Prof. Koch against
the charge of having prematurely pub
lished the facts regarding his discovery.
The first information he gave regarding
the subject, Prof. Virchow said, was
given to the Med cal Congress recently
held in Berlin, and the disclosures he then
made were in compliance with the urgent
request of a committee of Congress ana
DR.. Won Gossler, Prussian Minister of
Ecclesiastical Affairs, Education, and
Medicinal Affairs.
The Nachrichten says that Emperor
William has bestowed the Grand Cross OF
the Order of the Red Eagle upon Prof.
Koch.
Three patients treated by the Koch
method are reported dead. They were
all In q critical condition before they re-
ceived the injections.

A Great American Magazine.
The SUCCESS OF "THE CENTURY" AND IT'S
PLANS FOR 1891.

The Century Magazine Is now so we'll
known that to tell of its past success
seems almost an old story. The N. Y.
Tribune has said that it and its compan-
ion, st. Nicholas for Young Folks, issued by
the same house, "are read by every one
person IN thirty of the coHntry's popula-
ton. and large editions of both are
sent beyond the seas. 1t is an interest
ing fact that few years ago it was found
that seven thousand copies Of The Century
went to Scotland.-quite respectable
edition in itself. The question in Eng
land is no longer "Who reads an Ameri-
can book Z" but "Who does not see the
American magazines I"
A few years ago The Century about
doubled its circulation with the famous
War Papers, by General Grant and others,
adding many more readers later with the
Lincoln History and Remnants thrilling
articles on the Siberian Exile SYSTEM
One great feature OF 1891 is to be
"THE GOLD HUNTERS OF CALIFORNIA"
describing that remarkable movement to
the gold fields in 40, in series of richly
illustrated articles t1ritten By survivors, in
GLIDING the narratives OF men who went
to California by the different rOntes, ac-
counts of the gold discoveries, life in the
mines, the work Of the vigilance COM
mittees (by the chairman of the COM.
mittees) etc., etc. General Fr6monts
last writing was done for this series. In
November appears the opening article.
"The First EmigrInt Tram to California"
crossing the Rockies IN 1cil, by Gen.
Bidwell, a pioneer Of pioneers. Thous-
ands eff American families who had some
relative or friend among "the Argonauts
of '45" will be interested in theee papers.
MANY OTHER GOOD THINGS ARE COMING

grammc of novelties and stories by most
of the leading writers, ETC., ETC., etc.
1t is also announced that The Century
has purchased the right to print, before
its appearance in France or any other
country, extracts from advance sheets of
the famous Talleyrand Memoirs, which
have been secretly preserved for half a
century-to be first given to the world
through the pages of an American maya
zine. All Europe is eagerly awaiting the
publication of this personal history of
Ialleyrand-greatest of IDtriguers and
diplomats.

Chauncey Depew's Practical Re-
ligion.

Good stories about Chauncey Depew
are common enough, but recent Incl.
dent is worth more publicity than has
heretofore been given to it.
1t seems that Mr.. Depew and several
OF his brother capitalists we're speeding
along in palace car It sixty miles an
hour hen the tram struck and killed a
poor printer who was walking on the
track. The corpse was taken on board,
and the millionaires ceased their merrl-
ment in the presence of death. All knelt
down, and Mr.. Depew offered a fervent
prayer for the dead mans soul and for his
family. Then rising to his feet, he pat
5000 into his hat and collected from each
of the others a handsome amount for the
wife and children of the luckless printer.
There is something practical in such
Christianity, in too many cases people
think that they have done enough when
they pray for the unfortunate, but Mr..
Depew is under the impression that when
a prayer is backed by little active char
ity the result is more satisfactory. His
view of the matter is worthy of being con-
sidered by the average Christian CAPT.

The Presidential Nomination.

RICHMOND, Nov. 25.-Captain Thomas
Whitehead was interviewed to-day on his
preference for President. He says the
Democratic nominee must be in accord
ance with his party on the silver coinage
question as well as the tariff, and he will
also favor the abolition of the internal
revenue tax. Unless he is on al; these
measures the Captain is afraid the Demo
Gratis will lose the votes of many farmers
and workmen. The Captain did not say
who would measure mp to this standard
but it is evident that he thinks there are
safer men than Mr. Cleveland for the
Democrats to nominate.

in some parts of the country, it may be
we'll for people generally to look we'll to
the quality and source Of their milk sup
