Names of Cigars.

never knew smoker whose mouth
didn't water when he heard the word
"Perfectos" used, but / doubt if many
cigar lovers know what the word means.
Without bothering about the derivation,
it simply applies to cigar that is rolled
and made in the best possible manner,
and hence more expensive than the or
binary article. Any kind of tobacco
can be used in Perfectos, although it
doesn't pay to use very inferior grade
in it. The other most common names
indicating shape and make are Concha,
Regalia and Reina Victoria, which you
will see on boxes in any good cigar store.
Strictly speaking, Bouquet" cigar is
one that has a ribbon tied around it, but
of late paper bands have passed muster
pretty freely. The name on the front of
a cigar box always tells the expert the
size and shape, while he looks to the
right hand side for the trade name.-In-
terview in ST. Louis Globe Democrat.

can answer the question, why this part
of the country isn't blessed with good
humane society. There is hardly day
that we do not see men Tor brutes call
ing themselves mem torturing and
abusing dumb brutes. A man living
near Scott lake was known, a few
months since, to pound and beat a
horse with club until both eyes were
knocked out. and he maulcd the ami
NAL until it dropped dead. Such mat
ters ought To be investigated and there
ought to be officers whose duty it is to
look into such matters and punish the
heartless wretches who commit such a
crime. If citizen interferes in mat
ter OF the kind he is at once set down
by the community as crank and one
that can't mind his business. Some
brutes have the idea that if they are
the owners of horses they may beat
and abuse them as much as they like.
This is an erroneous idea, as they would
learn to their sorrow were they in reach
of some humane society. The law is
strong on these points, and it is pity
that such things are allowed by law
abiding people in this enlightened age.

A CHASTITY Cargo.

A special train of three cars arrived in
the Union Pacific depot at Walla Walla,
Wash, last week with CHASTITY cargo,
consisting of the entire contents of the
military graveyard at Fort Lapwai,
Idaho. There were upward of sixty
caskets, nearly all receptacles of sol
diers' bones. The reported reason for
the removal is that the land whereon the
cemetery was located had been taken up
by settlers, who show a disposition to
level the graves and plant their seed
over the remains. Uncle Sans guard
ians didn't relish this idea, and Lence
the transfer. The Fourth cavalry, with
the band, in full dress and accouter-
ments, were at the depot to meet and
conduct the mortuary procession to the
cemetery at Fort Walla Walla, where
the remains were reinterred with mill
tary Observation-Disclosures Ledger.

Oyster Shuckers' Eye Disease.

"The oyster shuckers' eye disease" is
the title given by the professional staff
of the Presbyterian Eye and Ear hos
pital to trouble affecting . large num-
Der of their patients at this season Of
the year. It is believed that the pecul-
lar kind of liberation Of the eyeball
which is known by this title is caused
by the juice of the oyster touching the
cornea of an eye which has previously
been slightly injured. The doctors say
they can tell exactly when the oyster
season is at hand by the appearance of
patients with this complaint within
twenty-four hours after the opening of
the packing establishments, and they
claim that this complaint disappears
promptly with the close of the oyster
season.
The shuckers come to the institution
complaining that they have had their
eyes hurt by chip of the oyster shell,
but the ulcer is entirely different to the
physicians eye to that caused by an
abrasion from anything else, such as a
nail, chip of marble or rock, pin, OF
even a clean shell. A mere look at the
liberated cornea suffices to determine
that the patient is an oyster shucloer.
The disease yields easily to treatment
and very frequently the patient is so fan
relieved of pain as to be able to return
to his work within twenty-four hours.
What is called the sterilizing treatment
is applied to the sufferers. 1t consists OF
applying cocaine to the eye until all SEN
sibility has been lost, and then carefully
touching the ulcer ON the cornea with q
platinum wire heated to whiteness by a
galvanic current.-Baltimor American

To shorten the Time.

The journey from London to Berlin
will soon be shortened by more than an
hour. The Great Eastern, which has
done so much to cheaper continental
travelling, intends starting a new daily

Remarkable Facts.

Heart disease is usually supposed to be in
durable, but when properly treated large
proportion of cases can be cured. Thus
Mrs. Elmra Hatch, of Elkhart, Ind, and
Mrs. Mary l.. Baker. of Ovid, Mich, were
cured after sffuering 20 years. 5. Q. Lin
burger, druggist at San Jose, Ill, says that
Dr. Miles New Heart Cure, which cured the
former, "worked wonders for his wife. y
Levi Logan, of Buchanan, Mich, who had
heart disease for 30 years, says two bottles
made him "feel like a new man." Or.

Sixteen graves that have just been
uncovered at Fort Ancient, o., are to

found at the Worlds Fair, as a part of
the exhibit of American antiquities
Fort Ancient is great earthwork in
Warren county, Ohio, overlooking the
Little Miami river. 1t is one of the
greatest earthworks of the mound
builders, but nobody knows yet whether
il was fortified village site or merely a
fort, though il is quite certain il was
built for defensive and not for religious
purposes, and ut least $4,000 people
could easily have taken refuge within
its walls. Mr.. W. X Moorchead, who
has long been eXcavating there, has re.

in which he particularly congratulates
himself that the farmers let him eXca-
waite to his hearts content. of one Of
these obliging agriculturalists he writes;
The stone pavement we uncovered lies
under his house and in his front yard,
yet he made no objection to our digging
large hole in the sod and flower beds,
in order that we might examine il.

that the suspicious fellahin put every
obstacle in the way of archaeological
researches, and that their conduct is

AN APPEAL
For Aid in Establishing an Institution
| for Instrneting Deaf NImtes.


Following circular letter in the form of
an appeal is being literally circulated;
Ithas been demonstrated that deaf children
can be taught speech and Lip reading, be elu-
Gated and be enabled to communicate with
their families and friends through the same.
and a number Of pure oral schools for such
instruction are in existence in the United
states. To the complete success Of the method,
however, 1t il necessary that these deaf chill
dren should be guided and trained 70 speech
from the age when hearing children begin To
learn to talk.
As the majority Of these children are poor,
and as all mothers, even Of those who are not
poor, do not understand how TO train them TO
speech, Miss Fuller, principal Of the Horace
Mann Day School for the deaf (pure oral), Bos-
ton, esta blshed two years ago, a home for the
training In speech OF deaf children before they
are OF school age. The necessary funds for
commencing the good work in New England
were raised by the mother of successfully
trained deaf child. The children are, Of course
under the care OF persons specially trained for
that purpose, and their progress already gives
great encOuragement.
Miss Fuller, who has been principal Of the
Horace Mann Day School for the Deaf for
many years, says Does 1t not seem almost
understandable that the earliest years Of deaf
chlldren's lives have been so long overlooked
In the plans for their mental development
IL Is proposed to establish In the middle
states, as speedily as possible, such u home ns
Mss Fuller has established In New England,
and the public are earnestly requested 10 con
tribute to the endowment fund required for
the same.

THE GREAT FIGHT A DRAW
After 81 Rounds Referee Cook
Calls 1t Off.
THE HONORS WERE ABOUT EVEN
Jackson May Have Had the
Best of the Contest.


SAN Francisco, Call, May cat end
of 61st round, Referee Cook declared that
both Jackson and Corbitt were too weak
TO fight any longer and declared the fight
no contest. The men had fought four
hours.
DISSATISFIED WITH THE DECISION.
SAN Francisco, May 22.-The Corbitt-
jackson fight last night resulted most I'M
satisfactory. Referee Cooks decision of
no contest, which was given at the end of
the 61st round, after the men had been in
the ring four hours and five minutes, is
generally accepted as equivalent to draw.
so WEAK THEY COULDN'T STRIKE.
Both men were so weak 1t was plain to
every one that they could not be expected
10 strike an effective blow if they re-
manned in the ring till daylight.
TERRIFIC FyoHT An THE START.
The first half Of the fight was the most
severe contest ever seen on the Pacific
coast but the last thirty rounds were
simply an exhibition of endurance, and
both men were very weak.
HoNoRs ABOUT EVEN.
After fighting two hours the honors
were about evenly divided, though if there
was any advantage it was in Jackson
favor.
coRBITT GAVE BATTLING TWO BOUND FIGHT.
Then Corbitt rallied for two rounds and
he pounded Jackson and had him greatly
distressed, but the San Francisco man
1. played himself out in that effort.
. SAN Francisco, CAL, May 23.-The di-
, rectors of the California Athletic Club at a
meeting last night decided to give jim
Corbitt and Jackson 1880 apiece for the
exhibition last Thursday night and to offer
the men a purse of 1880 to fight there

LONDON, May 19.-On May 9Th ahumble
black man whose name was in every news
paper few years ago, died In Zanzibar
He was Susi, well-known as the faithful
servant of DIR. Livingstone who, during
the last years of that great mans wander
ings in Central Africa. was ever by his
side, and TO whose fidelity and devotion
DIR. Livingstone pays more than one elo-
quent tribute in his Last Journals" 1t
was Susi and another faithful comrade
who entered the hut in which their master
breathed his last, and found him on his
knees with his head bent over his lowly
couch, stillin death. They decided to take his
body 500 miles, much of the way through
hostile country and restore it to his friends
in England. The world knows with what
skill and courage they performed this
mission.
They first embalmed the body, so that
they were able TO transport it over the
long road. They buried his heart under a
tree near the hut where he had died and
paid the native chief to keep the spot
where they had buried the precious relic
in good order. They carried the body
through Ugogo, where it was crime pun
ishable by death to transport human re-
mains through the country. During this
pcrilous part of the way they were COM
PEELED to make the package containing the
body resemble bundle of merchandise.
The Wagogo were content with opening
two or three packages which looked OK
actly like that in which the body was en-
cased, and seeing nothing contraband,
they permitted the little expedition to go
on its way. Thus it happens that the re-
mains OF DIR. Livingstone lie to-day in
Westminster Abbey,
Susi was thanked by vote of parliament
and received handsome and substantial
recognition from the queen and British
ton to Livingstone

The Reading All Right.


The Reading railroad is showing fresh
evidence almost daily that it has acquired
a new principle Of life and growth with
its new management. Following its re-
Gently acquired Western connection comes
the announcement that, in combination
with!Qoxe Brothers a. Co., II is about to
invade new coal field hitherto in the I'M
disputed possession of the Lehigh Valley
and Jersey Central roads, and add one and
a hail million tons yearly to its anthracite
Tonnage. This, with gains from another
source, makes an increase of 2OOO,00 tons
per annum to the Readings coal tonnage,
New coal fields will doubtless be developed
in time by the Readings extension to
Hazleton, but at the outset its gains will
be chiefly at the expense Of the just now
less enterprising Lehigh Valley. 1t is
gratifying to contemplate the new vitality

McLeod's energetic and business-like ad
