my grasp, bat it invariably escaped me.
Well how could Won march in such thick
darkness? ] will expl in. In the road
way there was something like light that
enabled us &c see the wall of darkness on
each side of MS Our guides had been
born and raised around the swamp, and
were familiar with the ground We new
er left the road more than one or two
hundred yards. We marched in single
file, the guide in advance, the next man
tlking him hy the coat tail, and so on TO
the emil Of The fie. In this way we went
every night from orr sieepin place in
the bush TO the roadway for the nights
march. On the guides reaching the road
he always. reconnoitcred in both direc-
tions before bringing the column out OF
the bushes. On the particular night of
which | am now writing we were to cross
the Pasquitsnk river half mile from
where we came to the road The
guide had gone to the river. taking with
him few men to fish up a boat from
the bottom of the river, where it was
kept for concealment from the Yankees.
The delay was much longer than usual,
and those in the rear of the column nat
urally became restless. Speaking above
low tone was forbidden. If man in the
rear wanted to know what was going on
in front, he weuld ask the man in front
OF him "what's the matter" and he
would ask the man in front of
him. In this way the question would
pass up the line and the answer come
back in the same low tone. On this night
| heard the sound come up from the rear,
"what's the matter? "Whats the natter"
whats the matter" and then the reply
came back waiting for the boat?" swat
ing for the boatT waiting for the boat?"
and as the sound died away the column
began to move. Now all this time
we all held to the coat tail of the
man in front of us and moved off
without word and without the sound
of foot fall Now "North Kallina" was
the last man, and the one that started the
question "what's the matter?' mp the col
umn. The question having to pass
through near a hundred mouths and the
answer come back through the same num-
Der, took up good deal of time: Fear
ing that something dangerous was occur
ing at the front end not waiting for reply,
he let go his hold and hid himself in the
bushes. The column moved off, and he,
not knowing it, was left alone in tie
swamp. We reached the river bank not
very far away and began to cross, some
crossing and Others awaiting their turn.
/ was lying on the bank and heard loud
whistle from the swamp in rear of US, then
louder, still louder, and at last wild cry
of distress that made my heart ache for
the poor fellow. The guide went back
and brought him out. He came up and
happened to lie down by me. l never
saw a horse have the thumps as bad In
my life. l heard his sides humping as
diitinctly as l now hear my clock tick
ing not ten feet away. Nobody laughed
at him that night-it was too serious
matter for laughter

ONE of the most important SUBJ
jects that will probably be brought
before the extra session of the legis-
lature is tare on cotton. 1t Is
thought by some that a uniform al
lowance for bagging and ties would
enhance the price of cotton. We have
failed so far TO see any sensible ex-
PLANTATION assigned that does in the
least degree substantiate such a
theory. A bale of cotton weighing
500 pounds at ten cents a pound
would net $50. Suppose sixteen
pounds is deducted for bagging and
ties. The 500 pound bale would
then net only 4S4 pounds. Ia Or
der to realize $50 for asa pounds of
cotton il would have to bring ten
and thlrty-three one-hundredths- OF
n cent per pound. If, after allow
ing sixteen pounds for tare, only
ten cents was then realized, the
producer would lose sixteen pounds
on every bale sold, amounting to
SLIGO per bale. We are not In fa~
vor of the passage of any law that
will leave 1t discretionary with the
exporters, spinners or SPECTATORS,
ms to whether they will reimburse
the farmers for amounts paid for
bagging and ties. We announce
with pleasure to our readers that
our representative, w. A. Carrlth-
ers, is in favor of selling cotton the
same old way, namely, by its gross
weight.

/ take pleasure in submitting the
following statement of facts that
you may know the great benefit
that has resulted from the use OF
your Specific in the case of my lit
tie daughter, now ten years of age.
The child when two years of age,
had a severe attack of scar.et, few er,
which left her with a shattered con-
stitution. Among other evidences
of impaired nutrition WAS what the
doctors called softening of the bon
es. In her fifth year she happened
to slight accident which resulted
in the disocation of the hip joint,
and from the irritation thus set up,
terrible assesses of the hip ensued.
The assesses, despite the best med
ical treatment that could be obtain
ed, remained for three years, dis
charging continuously. At :his
time, through the influence OF
friends l put her on your S. S. 5.
When this treatment commenced the
abscess was very large, having six
perforations, pus discharging
through them all. During this
treatment several spiculae of bone
came out and by the time she had
finished her fifth bottle the abscess
had entirely healed, her appetite
and general health had been restored;
in short, she was we'll and happy,
and so continues.

the bathing places regarding lack of
proper care of the bathing houses, and
the crying need of more cleanliness.

Ocean Grove to know what he shall do
about collecting n slight bill of $500
against the landlord of boarding house
there who rented house of the. writer
last summer for that sum. Toward the
close of the season the guests all assem-
bled at the breakfast table one morning,
and while merrily chatting each other
and such things some one asked, where
is Mr.. Van Pelter?" for that was the
gentleman's name who ran the estab-
lishment. He came not till the break
fast was cold, and so several went in
search of him. They went up in the
garnet, where summer guests had been
in the habit of hanging themselves, but
he was not there. His business had been
profitable, so they did not see why he
should suicide, unless he was leading
what is called double life, and the two
families had got acquainted with each
other.
However, they dragged the Atlantic
ocean carefully and got a good many
other curiosities, but did not get Mr..

Davenport Does Honor to Her Battle

Davenport was dressed in its best suit
of clothes yesterday in honor of the
Sixth annual reunion of the German
Veterans Federal association of North
America. and great many Ger.
mans from this city went over
to join in the festivities, and extend
"willkommen"to the battle SCARED guests
The city was beautifully decor
ated. the red, white and black
intermingling with the red. white
and blue everywhere. while the STAR
ry flag of the republic floated
from every public building and
almost every business block. Many
beautifully ornsmented triumphal arche s
spanned the street intersections. The
city was thronged with visitors. all
day. the number of veterans present
aggregating three thousand. The at.
| mosphere was full of "Wacht am
Rhine" and other German airs. The
street parade was brilliant affair.
The German veterans had for es-
cort the local G. A. r. post, while
other military aud several civic socie.
ties participated Davenport's splen-
didly equipped paid fire department and
police patrol made a grand showing. both
being admired in a spirit of friendly envy
by people from this city who witnessed
the procession. There were ten bands OF
music in line.
1u the afternoon Mayor Fioke delivered
an address of welcome at Sch letzeu park.
and prize tournament followed. Ia
the evening the park was gor geously illu.

The long anticipated. long sought for.
long fought for victory for the Hennepin
canal is in sight, and the great project is
practically safe at last. although the ad.
vocates and friends of the measure,
should not rest on their oars until every
obstacle is passed and the presidents sig.
nature is appended to the bill.
The national senate passed the river
and harbor bill Saturday Including the
$500 900 provision for the Henne-
pin canal as it had previously passed the
house. The general senate bill is prac-
tically the same as that of the house,
with the addition of abont So ,000,~
600 for work deemed necessary. The
bill as it now stands will go before a con,
ference committee of the two bodies
where some changes may be made. but it
is not at all probable that these changes
will affect the Hennepin. The entire bill
may be scaled. or some of the less impor-
tant items cut out. but Hennepin is sure,
ly safe.
Then it goes to the president for his
signature and there the fate of the bill
and all the various important matters
including the Hennepin-contained in it
will be determined. The Davenport Dem
0crat in commenting on the prospects,
says:
What will President Harrison do with
the river and harbor bill when il reaches
him2 To be consistent he must sign it.
His speeches as senator commit him to
such course. and being western man
he knows the great need o. improving
the country's waterways. There is rea>
son why every farmer and every business
man in the great northwest should feel
like rejoicing. In behalf of the great
public the Democrat expresses the graft
tude the people feel toward Hon. Thos.
j. Henderson, chairman of the commit
tee on rivers and harbors, to Congress
man Hayes, who has labored necessarily
in the house, to Senators Allison and
Cullom, to Senator Frey and his fellow
members of the senste's commerce cons
mittee, and to the friends in congress
and out of that body whose names il
would take columns to give, for their
hard and telling work. We believe the
end is near. but it is not yet time to
cease working or 10 say that all danger
has passed.

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that Is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dItlon of mucous lining of the Eustsch-
ian tube. When this tube gets inf1amed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the in
f1smmation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness-csused by catarrh
that we cannot cure by taking Halls
