An Apology.

We have a solemn duty to perform this
week, an explanation to our readers. Like
Senator Quay we have been in no great
rush, but have taken time to deliberate
so as to make it at time. and in man.
ner, that will be most forcible and effec-
tive. Comrade L. Parmenter has taken
exceptions, we are informed. to an article
printed by us on his late exit from La
mar. He has not written to us, us he
should have done, but to outsiders. The
article mentioned was certainly not meant
to reflect on him, and none but the evil
disposed could construe it that way. The
appellation, Sweet Laurie" conveyed
our appreciation of his fascinating indi-
viduality. AS for the latter portion OF
the article, it was simply mistake OF re-
lationship, which any of US are likely to
make; while the first part was intended
to show the high esteem in which he was
held by society herr, the ladies especial
ly; and certainly it is to q mans credit to
obtain the favor OF the gentler Sex. Mr..
Parmenter was soldier with good roc
ord, and his gallant military bearing
made an impression that will long be re
membered here. We hope this apology
will not be misconstrued, as the original
article was, and that 1t will be accepta-
BILE and satisfactory to all concerned.

A Tough Trip.

Stage-contractor Reynolds had thrill
ling experience during the storms last
week. He left Lamar on Tuesday, having
a lady passenger who was anxious to get
to Villas to care for sick friends. After
driving all day he reached the cabin
where he exchanges mails with the south
driver. Here without food or lodging
they had to remain till daybreak, then
started in the binding snow for Wilde,
drove all day, getting lost early in the
morning, and at night found they had
gone in circuit and returned to the
cabin. On Thursday morning he started
for Wilde and arrived there about ex-
hausted, but with true western grit, put
the mail pouches on horse and came
home horseback.

What Might Have eeena

Only a few drops of liquor!
Only few glasses Of beer.
Yet how to run a newspaper.
Wen never know now, we fear.
The above vividly portrays the misfor-
tune that befell Lamar last Monday. But
for it we would have the greatest weekly
paper in the State. The man, who in
tended to show us how to run a paper,
has vanished toward the sunrise, and is
probably counting tics much more rapid
ly than he would have been able to count
cents here. 1t is to be hoped he will yet
strike community where combines are
not known, and mugwumps are less nu-
merous. and there display his talent 80

MIR RAvENsTEIN, of the British Associ- ation for the Advancement of Science, has been making calculations as to the number of people that the world can comfortably support and the time when that limit will be reached. He esti- mates the population of the earth in 1890 at 1, ,468, ,00O,0O0, and its rate of in crease per decade at 8 per cent. Then he takes the area of all the habitable land in the world at a little over 4G, ,OOO,- 900 square miles, only 2S,O0O, ,OOO of which a1e fertile. The latter he esti- mates to be capable of maintaining POT to the mile, this being founded on the statistics of 175 for India, 205 for China and 2Gi for Japan. Roughly speaking, the earth is supposed to be capable of sustaining G,000, ,000, ,00O people, and at the present rate of increase this limit will be reached in little less than 200 years from now.

MOST of the short term endowment orders have petered out. Of the fifty five endowment orders doing business in Massachusetts on June 3Oth last, twelve have since come to grief, eight being in the hands of receivers ap. pointed by the courts, two having made voluntary assignment and two others being now in the hands of the courts for the appointment of receivers. Of the forty three remaining in business, thirty are long term orders whose prom ises do not mature in less than five years. These have formed an alliance against the short term orders to secure legislation to enable them to prosecute their plans with greater safety to their promoters and managers.

PRESIDENT HARRIsON's message is a strong bid for renomination at the hands of his party, and all that now re mains to make his nomination certain, is that MT Blaine shall write that letter which the public has for year or more been periodically informed that he was just on the eve of writing, declaring that he will under no circumstances accept the nomination. He may or may not write such letter; just now it is again positively stated that he will do so in few days.

Ihe Case of Engineer Chilson


 RUTLAND, Vt., Dec. 12.-Ihe jury in the case of Eugene Chilson, engineer, indicteI on the charge of mansla ughter r for causing the collision of trains on the Rutland Railroad, near BrooksviIIe, Nov. 30, 1883, in which several persons were killed, brought in a verdic ct that he was guilty of criminal negligence and recommended the prisoner to the mercy of the court. He has been released on bail to allow of the legal points in the case to be heard before the next session of the Supreme Court. The only wit ness intro oluced for the defence was the engineer himself, who testified that he was very sick on his locomotive, which was strange one, on q road over which he had never run a mile, and was as signed to this special train in the night time on wild duty' against his own protest.

Let's reason together. Here's a firm, one of the largest the country over; it has grown, step by step, through the years to greatness-and it sells patent medicines ugh!
 That's enough! p
 Wait little-
 This firm pays the newspapers good money Expensive work, this adver- tising } to tell the people that they have faith in what they sell, so much faith that if they can't benefit or cure they don't want your money. Their guaran- tee is not indefinite and relative. but definite and absolute-if the medicine doesn't help, your money is lon call"
 Suppose every sick man and every feeble woman tried these medicines and found them worthless, who would be the loser, you or they?
 The medicines are Dr Pierce's ''Golden Medical Discovery" for blood diseases, and his "Favorite Prescription, for woman's peculiar ills. If they help toward health, they cost $1.OO bottle each If they don't, they cost nothing

RUSSlA'S SAD STATE.
Bankruptcy Spreading, and the Rich De scending to Poverty.

Bankruptcy Spreading, and the Rich De-
 scendiug to Poverty.
 ST PETERSBURG, Dec. 12. 2.-Bankruptcy is spreading in this city, an1 the gen = e"al condition of trade is deplorable. The same account is received from all parts of Russia. In city and country insolvency is the rule, insteal of the ex- caption, and while the respectable poor are becoming mendicants, the noble and formerly rich are descending to poverty
 The prospect for the remainder of the winter is most gloomy. Fewer deat hs are reported from starvation, but the area of destitution is much increasau, the small number of deaths being at tribute1 to the greater efficiency of govern ment relief. The relief is now largely supported by the proceeds of the recent loan, and it is extremely douD t. ful whether any taxes can be coll ecte in more than half the empire.
