Epoch.

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the indivi-
dual. Such a remarkable event is treas
ured in the memory and the agency
whereby the good health has been at
tanned is gratefully blessed. Hence it
is that so much is heard in praise OF
Electric Bitters. So many feel they
owe their restoration to health, to the
use of the Great Alternative and Tonic.
If you are troubled with any disease of
Kidneys, Liver or Stomach, of long or
short standing, you will surely find re-
lief by use of Electric Bitters. Sold at

Phi. De Clarmont gives an account,
In Le Moniteur de la Teinture, of a white
satin dress totally ruined by its trim
ming with English lace. The dress had
been worn but once, had then been
packed into trunk which was deposited
in damp place and exposed TO emana-
tions of hydrosulphuric acid from gas.
When taken out, 1t was found that the
pattern of the lace, particularly of its
tulle ground, had been printed in indeli-
Bile black upon the white satin. The ac-
cident was not difficult to explain. En-
glish lace is habitually charged with
sulphate of lead, which in this case had
absorbed hydrogen and hydrosulphuric
acid from the atmosphere, forming sui.
phide of lead which had been imprinted
and fixed upon the white satin. which
naturally had also absorbed hydrogen
and hydrosu lphuric acid. The seller of
the lace showed that charging English
lace with white lead (sulphGte of lead)
was commercial usage, and thereby es-
capped paying the damage. An oDjec-
tionablc usage it is at any rate. as the
absorption of lead through the skin
from such lace may become dangerous
to health.

THE CHICAsAws.
Trouble Feared From the Disfrsu

Trouble Feared From the Disfrsn-
chisement OF " squaw Men,"
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.--The secretary
of the interior received a telegram
from Mr.. Bennett, Indian agent at Mus
cogee, |. T., to-day, saying that the
Chicasaw situation was serious, and that
there was great danger of an outbreak on
the 18th inst, the day of the election, on
account of the disfranc chisement OF
the "squaw men,"
In a communication to the president
the secretary expresses the opinion that
there is no great probability of an out
break such as to require the interference
of troops as yet. As u precaution he
recommends that the secretary of war
he directed to have the troops at Fort
Gibson In readiness to respond to any
order necessary to suppress riot. In
reply to Mr.. Bennett's telegram he ssys
that no use OF troops Is TO be made uu-
less q riot of dangerous character actual
ly breaks out. The government, he said,
did lot intend to display force of troops
except As last resort.

damage than the Northwestern. In
Kansas the severity OF the drought cul-
minated. Iowa and Nebraska are near

while Minnesota and Kansas have tho
highest average of ali the states.
There has been considerable reaction
In the condition of spring wheat,
amoun ting TO fully eleven points. II is
less In the Dnkotas than in any other
spring wheat district. Tho average of
condition Is 10 In Wisconsin, 80 in Min
nesota, 81 in Iowa, 81 in Nebraska and
SO Ia the Dakotas. The latter Is de-
cline of seven points, owing TO the hot
southern winds.
The oat crop Is certain TO be one of
very low yield. and probably poor
quality.
Another crop of great importance,
potatoes, has also been much damaged
by the drought. and low rate of yield
Is assured.

lessons the revenue, strangles commerce,
