II remember a friend Of mine,n said
Squire johnson to the delegate, who CON
sidered himself funny. He went to a
prominent jeweler on Fourth street, and
purchased watch for $50, receiving writ
ten guarantee that the watch would keep
good time for year. If the watch failed
the purchase money was to be refunded
Well, my friend was called to Europe soon
after that, and spent several months trav-
cling about various parts of the earth, and
it happened that he returned to Cincin-
natl on the very day the guarantee on his
watch expired. Asking me to accompany
him, we went to the jewelry store, and
calling out the proprietor my friend laid
down the guarantee, which the jeweler
read and then expressed himself ready to
fulfill his contract. The watch was placed
upon the counter, and was found to be
just one half minute too fast
1.-THE jeweler placed it carefully in q
drawer, and going to his safe counted out
five crisp ten dollar bills and passed them
to my friend vita a smile. yes, but
don't want the money he stammered;
give me back my watch. 1t was only
meant as little pleasantly I have com
piled with my contract, replied the jew
eler, and only meant a little business
But must have that watch, said the
thoroughly Disconnected funny man.
well, replied the jeweler, proceeding with
his work, 4 consider a watch that varies
only one half of minute in year worth
more than $50 will sell you the watch
for $780, So chagrined that he hardly
knew what he was doing, my facetious
friend paid over tie 500 and pocketed the
watch When you need another good
watch give me a call, said the jeweler
merrily as we took our departure. Well,
do you know, have never heard of that
fellow doing funny thing since. Gin

CHICAGO, Dec. 81 The Farmers Re-
view publishes a summary of the con-
dition of winter wheat in Illinois, Iowa,
Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, Kansas, Mich
igan, Wisconsin and Kentucky The
report shows the condition is good in
nearly all the territory named, but that
in many places there is danger of de-
terioration from lack Of snow to cover
the crop.
A severe drouth prevails over large
section of the wheat-producing states.
The country thus affected includes
nearly all of Illinois, two-thirds of Mis-
souri, and half of Iowa; about one-third
of Indiana also forms a part of the re-
gion The effects of the drouth are felt
far more. severely in Illinois than in
any other state Reports from ninety
counties show that only twenty have
even fair water supply. The next
greatest sufferer is Missouri, where

TIE cause OF Poor Health

Is often found in the neglect of ones
own self. A light cold or slight head
ache is treated as not requiring much
attention; the assumption being that
they will soon pass off, and it is only
when case OF full-fedged sickness de-
velops Itself that the consequences Of
that neglect are fully realized. AS a
preventive and positive cure for Coughs,
Colds, Hoarseness, Splitting OF blood,
Asthma, Pains in the Chest and first

wants ENORMOUS Damages.

Mr.. Prieu, merchant who carried on
business for many years in Brazil, has
brought an action against the government
of the French republic for the respectable
sum Of e560,000 for damages he alleges to
have sustained through the action of a
French consul. 1t seems that some thirty
years ago M. Prieu felt aggrieved at the
action of the Brazilian authorities at
Itaque in overcharging him customs dues
on merchandise passing through his hands.
The papers to prove his claim, according
to the plaintiffs story, were intrusted ia
the French consul, but that functionary
disclaimed all knowledge of them, and
since then the documents have neither
been seen nor heard Of
For their loss and that of the money paid
as surcharge of customs he brought the
action against the minister of foreign af-
fairs, as the official chief of the consul who
represented the French government. AL.
though he assessed his damages at the sum
mentioned NJ Prieu informed the court
that if the verdict went in his favor he did
not intend to claim the money from the re.
public, being DESTROYS only of recovering
the documents which have disappeared so
mysteriously. The judges have, however,
non-suited the plaintiff, holding that the
minister for foreign affairs could not be
held responsible for papers intrusted to a
subordinate. M Prieu intimated his in.
tention of carrying the case to the court OF
appeal. Paris Cor London Telegraph.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3i.-- When the
senate was called to order Tuesday
morning at 10 o'clock there was such a
small attendance that attention was
called to the fact OF the absence Of a
quorum. The foll-call showed the pres
ence of seventeen senators, and the
sergeant-at-arms was directed to request
the attendance of absentees. 1t was II
o'clock before quorum was secured
and before the journal of Monday was
read
The galleries, however, were crowded
with visitors, principally excursionists
from among the public school teachers
of New York and Philadelphia.
The credentials Of Frederick T, Du-
bois as a senator from the state Of
Idaho for the term beginning March 4
next were presented and received.
Mr.. Reagan gave notice of two
amendments to Mr. Aldrich's cloture
resolution.
The senate then resumed considera-
ton Of the elections bill and Mr.. Hoar
continued his speech in its advocacy.
He reminded southern senators that
they pledged their official oaths and
honor as men that they would give their
devotion to the constitutional amend
ments if they were only let back into
their old condition in the union, free
from the consequences of rebellion,
And now they were denouncing those
constitutional amendments as a
"stupendous crime and blunder.
Senator Wo,cott followed Mr. Hoar
and spoke briefly against the election
bill, giving reason why he would vote
against it. This is the second break in
lhe Republican ranks.

An Indian Outbreak Possible,

SILVER CITY, Aug. 21.-It has been two
months since the commencement of the
rainy season, and the mountains are full of
prospectors. There is water everywhere,
and the conditions are all favorable for
prospecting. except the possibility of an
outbreak of Indians. There has been a
small band OF renegades out since the cap
ture of Geronim nearly four years ago, but
they have confined their depredations to
Mexico and Arizona until within the past
few days, when they made their appearance
in the vicinity of the Hatchet mountains,
in the southern part of this county, where
they have killed four men. This has put
prospectors on their guard, and some of the
elder ones say that there is every reason to fear
big outbreak. The Indians on the San
Carlos reservation have been restless for
several months and have been getting cart
ridges in every possible way. The extreme
ly dry weather and the shortness of the
grass last spring made an outbreak almost
impossible but now the feed is better than it
has been for years and band of hostile In
dians could hardly find a place in the two
territories where they could not get plenty
of grass and water for their ponies. An
Indian outbreak now would practically put
a stop to prospecting for the rest of the year,
and would result in the cessation of opera
tions in some of the smaller camps in South
western New Mexico and Southwestern
Arizona,
