How French Duchess Was Cured OF q
Painful HRlIucinatIon.
The Duchess of Trois- -Etoiles, one of
the most aristocratic ladies OF the Fau-
bourg st. Germain, says Racket, had got
possessed OF the idea that she had swal-
lowed frog. She felt this frog-she
declared she had-and its presence
robbed hcr of her peace of mind, sleep
and even of health. The Partisan phys.
icians had the rudeness to deny the ex-
istence Of this animal, ignorant, as they
were, but the poor lady suffered martyr.

her tale Of woe. He felt, with a seri-
BUSINESS worthy OF Hippocrates himself,
the pulse of the fair patient, inquired
after various symptoms, and when the
charming aristocrat had exhausted all
her store of arguments to prove her pc:
delusion, the youthful doctor said, after
a well-feigned pause: Madame, the
frog Is there, but will remove It." He
then prescribed an innocent emetic, and
went to the nearest fower-shop, where
he bought small, green frog. Armed
with this confederate, he presented him
self once more before the Duchess, and
placed basin of water in readiness
Tho emetio began to take effect, the
Duchess eyes filled with tears, and the
doctor took advantage Of the opportuni-
ty to slip the green frog into the basin.
On seeing the frog, load was removed
from the Duchess heart The next in

Cabarns supported her totterlng frame,
she cried, in a despairing tone: "Oh,

Cabarus, without allowing trace Of en-

''that we shall soon see.' He then threw

BALFOUR In IRELAND.
AN OVATION RENDERED HIM AT
ACHILL.
The Wretchedness of To Natives Makes
an Impression on His Callous Heart.
Objects of the American Mission.

DUBLIN, Oct. 2S.-Balfour is now in
Westport. 1t is reported that he is
deeply impressed with the scenes of
general wretchedness0 OF the peasants
and prospects of famine.
Balfour received an ovation onianding
at Achill. He said he was glad to see
the people, and expressed sorrow for the
failure of the potato crop. He was glad
he had been able to sanction the con-
struction of railway which would give
them employment. A number of peasants
escorted him to the various fishing
stations, and after dark escorted him
over the mountains. Balfour promised
to finish the bridge between the two
points of the island and defray the ex-
penses out OF his own pocket. The
peasants cheered him and expressed
their gratitude.
On the road back to Westport, tri-
umphal arch was erected at Mulsaney,
and Balfour was cheered by knots OF
people at various points. One of the
local priests at Newport said Balfour
was one of the greatest benefactors Ire
land ever had, and they looked to him
to bring peace and prosperity to the
country. At Westport, Balfour re-
ceived a deputation Of citizens, headed
by priest, and conferred at length
as to the best method OF providing relief
for the coming distress.
The American Mission.
New York, Oct. 28.-T. P. Gill said
tonight, referring to the statement made
in some papers that the Irish party were
Indifferent on the famine question !:
Nothing could be more erroneous. The
relief of distress will form leading part
of our programme, but we also intend to
appeal for means of advancing that pol
icy which aims at ending forever this
periodical recurrence of famine-this
periodical throwing of our country upon
the charity of the nation-the policy, in
word, of Parnell and Gladstone"
For Political Purposes Alone.
LONDON, Oct. 2S.-The Cologne Ga
zette has an interview with 7. P. O'Con-
nor, in which he is quoted as saying
"The O'Brien-Dillon mission to America
has nothing to do with the potato
famine, which is the business of the
British government. Our only concern
is to get money for political purposes.
The mission counts upon getting G100,-

ing mines, naturally results in more rap
idly exhausting their lodes. So far as
my information extends, there have
been no new silver bonanzas discovered,
and as aside from the discoveries of val
liable silver-lead properties in Aus
tralia, / am not aware of any
large deposits of silver discovered
within the last year or two; certainly
none recently. So, it is fair to presume
that the silver product for any consider
able period, unless there are new dis
coveries, will not be materially increased
by the present active working of the
mines.
No sensible person likes to make
prophesies, especially on a subject which
has proven so Elusive as silver, but GER
tainy one who has made close study
of the silver question, ought to find in
the facts mentioned sufficient causes for
the recent decline, without seeking for
imaginary reasons and casting slurs
upon the treasury method OF purchases.

RAILROAD GOSSIP.
MUCH TALK ABOUT UNION PACIFIC
AFFAIRS.
Statements for the Public-Alleged
Rate-Cutting.

Boston, Oct. 2S. Vice Preside nj
Lane of the Union Pacific railway, was
seen today with regard to the stories
with which the street of late
teemed, derogatory to the Union Pacific,
its management, etc. With regard to
the boycott and the effect thereof. Lane
said: "West- bound throtgh business
is really all that is affected, and even
this can suffer but little" He also re-
marked that the Union Pacifc-North-
western alliance. really concerned
nobody but the two roads in interest.
"What they do, is their own business
The Union Pacific people are not at all
disturbed by the so-called boycott, and
they find in the cases leading to it, and
in the ill-feeling of competitors, an in
spiration for all the recent wild reports
concerning the road"
The stories of accidents, Lane says,
have been greatly exaggerated. Their
system is getting an enormous traffic at
the present time, more indeed than it
can comfortably handle, and it's equip
ment is necessarily getting severe usage.
A few accidents have naturally occurred
under these circumstances, but none of
these have involved any serious damage.
AS regards the latest story from Chi
cago, published today, to the effect that
the management was working tacitly
to wreck the road, with view to ulti-
mately turning it over to the Wander
bilts, Lane says the yarn is too absurd
to deny, and it's animus is clearly ap-
parent to anyone who understands the
present condition of affairs.
KANSAS CRY, Oct 28.-The Trans
Missouri committee today considered the
charges and countercharges of the Bur-
lington and Rock Island, regarding the
alleged cut in San Francisco rates; also
the complaints OF the Wabash regarding
the sale OF forbidden return harvest
excursion tickets, but the meeting ad-
journed without final action.
In an interview this evening Chair
man Finley attributes the present un-
easiness to the scalpers, against whom
he proposes to take action. The nature
OF his plans he would not divulge, but
he believed wherever large blocks of
tickets are found in the hands of scalp
ers, he will authorize the roads in the
association to sell below the scalpers.

and pillaging the landowners resi-
dences. They have burned 5000 acres of
forest on the river Semara, and have
destroyed immense quantities of corn in
Bakovotsky. The minister OF the in
