The Famous Patent Medicine Man Again
 Becomes Dangerous to His Friends.
 LONG BRANCH, May 30.-Dr. Henry T. Helmbold, who was for many years one of the leading patent medicine manu- lecturers of the country, and when he owned several large drug stores in New York was called King of the Druggists, :" has again been sent to an asylum for the insa ne. Mrs. Helmbold owns large cottage in Chelsea avenue near the ocean. Since his release from an asylum several years ago, Dr. Helmbold has been living there with his family He has had fre- quent attacks of insanity, but has not been considered dangerous. While suf- fering from these attacks the doctor im- agined that he was the possessor of inn mense tracts of valuable property and had heavy bank accounts.
 Two weeks ago he began to grow worse, and finally became dangerous. His family decided that their only safety was in placing him under proper re. straint. He was in good spirits when removed to the asylum, and thought he was being taken to the Court House at Freehold for the purpose of proving that his signatures to certain documents were genuine. There is no hope of his re Coverv

CHAPTER VII.
WAR CLOUDS.

John was i'll for several weeks, but a good constitution and careful nursing brought him around all right. When he was convalescent Janet came into his room one day and endeavored to apologize, as by this time she was heartily ashamed of herself, but John quietly refused to thresh over any old straw. He told her that it would be best to let matters rest as they were; he bore her no i'll will, and was as ready as ever to serve her, but he thought it would be wise to let the past be buried. The girl was awed by his firmness and vexed at his seeming insensibility, but she did not know the bitter struggle it cost the young man to seem so strong. He was quite i'll again for day or two after this visit, but then steadily inn proved and surprised them all by walk ing into the sitting-room one afternoon, looking very gaunt and pale, but quite resolute.
 He had quite an ovation that night at supper time, and everyone seemed sc pleased to see him about again that he was, in spite of himself, led to believe that life had not ended.
 It was the fateful year 1860. Political feeling was running very high, and even Col Gregory had been drawn into the vortex of excitement. The colonel was a strong union man, but fully i'm bued with the idea that he owed his first allegiance to his state, and though he deprecated withdrawal from tho union, yet he felt that if the crisis camt he must stand by his state.
 Henry was an ardent politician, ant was away much of his time, at th' courthouse and elsewhere, gathering information and expressing his viewt with fiery zeal.
 A general feeling of unrest wa! abroad and thoughtful men viewed thu situation with alarm and felt that re publican institutions were about to b. put to a test that would strain them t. the uttermost.

CHAPTER VIII.


 One day in the early fall, Henry came home accompanied by a young man, apparently twenty-five years old, who had fascinated him by fiery speech at a political gathering. He was tall, dark, handsome fellow, with something of the corsair in his appearance, Rich ard Lanvale by name, a graduate of West Point. After serving four years on the frontier he had thrown up his com mission, and few months prior to this time had settled in a neighboring county and opened an office for the cessionist, eager for excitement, a flu ent speaker, res y to drink or play at all hours,o of ready wit and utterly with out fear. These qualities at that time, In that community, had speedily brought him into prominence, and he was already recognized as the leader oi the younger fre-eating element.
 John came ih few minutes after the young man, and was duly introduced. As he shook hands with him John felt in every fiber of his body sense of re- pulsion that he had never before cxpe- rienced. and, to judge from the expres- sion of Lanvale's face, the feeling was reciprocal.
 When Janet came into the room and met the newcomer John knew in . mo naont the depth of his trouble and the cause of his aversion. Here was the most distinguiahed-lool<ing man of hii acquaintance brought au contact witt the woman he loved, and, by . certain keeu insight which tha young lsaan pos l seEod. hn ls4aV f1iat thera WAS frpnbl'

Dr. Briggs Beaten in the Assembly,

PORTLAND, Ore, May 30.-The Briggs case has ended so far as the Presby- terian General Assembly is concerned. By a vote which under the law of the Church is to be reckoned as 429 to S70 the appeal against the action of the Presbytery of Now York in dismissing the case has been sustained in whole or in part. Final action is deferred until to-day, but the action then will be only formal, as the constitution prescribes what it shall be. The papers in the case will be sent back to the Presbytery, and 1t will be ordered to proceed with the trial which it voted to discontinue.

Lanvale had no backwarcness about him, and showed very plainly his ad- nairation for Miss Gregory, while the his marked attention
 At the supper table the conversation naturally turned on the one absorbing topic of interest, and Lanvale who, as usual, took the lead, wanted to know what the colonel thought Texas would do in the event of Lincoln's election. The colonel said he very much feared secession would follow.
 "Why, don't you hope so?'
 'tNo, do not want to see the union dissolve and a bloody war precipitated. !"
 'sWell, that is just what wish to see, but therewill be no such luck; the Yam kees won't fight, and, even if they would, we can whip them ten to one. "
 "Just what think, too, ,"cried Henry.
 John had been silent, but Lanvale was determined he should not escape, so he turned to him and asked, quite significantly:
 s'What does our silent friend think?''
 'I agree with Col Gregory" said John.
 'You do not want to fight, then?'' with scarcely perceptible sheer.
 'T certainly do not"
 'Do you think we could whip the Yankees?'
 tI do not"
 "And pray why?"
 Because they have got the numbers and tho resources; it might be long and bloody struggle, but numbers and resources would finally prevail"
 I'I am surprised that with your views you should remain in the south"
 ''I presume that one can remain in the south and yet retain his honest con- victions."
 ''Oh, then the rest of us are not hon. est"
 CT did not say anything like that"
 "I have always noticed" said Lan- rale, ''that your peaceable men have a strong lot of reasons on their side; as for me, prefer to strike first and argue afterwards"
 Col. Gregory had been listening at tentively to the colloquy between the young men, and seeing the trend of the conversation gave the signal for with drawing to the parlor by rising from the table. Late that night as John was sitting out under spreading oak smoking Lanvale sauntered down and opened uI with:
 "So, my young friend, you do notpro pose to fight?"
 "I am not your young friend, and will fight at my own time, in my owr way"
 Henry Gregory came up in time tc hear this speech and Lanvale turned tx him airily and said:
 'FYou see nave struck spark of fir' on this flint"
 s'Oh, John is jus out of sorts. Let go away and let him alone," sait Henry.
 ''Not so fast" said Lanvale. ''I mus see more of this cold-blooded citizel who cares so little for his country tha he would see it insulted without lifting a hand in it's defense" "At least will lift one in my own, said John, and without any ado as h rose to his feet he launched out with hi left fist, and catching Lanvale unde the jaw sent him flying like a can nonbau several feet. For a momen Lanvale was stunned; then he rushe towards John, but Henry Gregory, wh had been thunderstruck by John action, rushed in and restrained him John did not move. Lanvale's fac showed the passions of a devil, as> h fairly missed out: Nothing but you blood will wipe out this insult" "Perhaps," said John, and thereupo coolly walked off to his room and wen to bed.

Michael Davlts on Irish GIsgovernmsns

LONDON, May 30.-Michael Davitt has published in t'The Daily Chronicle" a long letter on Irish affairs Ireland under the Union, he says, has been gov erned by the landlords. The number of inhabitants has been reduced by one half, yet the working people have de rived no benefit from the partial depop- ulation. In Great Britain millions ot Irishmen are employed, many of them in the workshops, thus showing that under proper conditions they could add to the wealth and prosperity of Ireland. In America, MT. Davitt says, the products of Irish labor are driving away the man ufactures from Great Britain.

Miners Considering Proposition Com
oerning the Brioevllle Mine.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 15,--The labor
people at Coal Greek have been holding
numerous conferences during the past
few days. r.I
One thing which has caused some
of the conferences was the proposition
made by the Tennessee Mining company,
viz: To conduct the mine at Briceville
on the cooperative plan.
The miners have not fully decided yet
what they will do, but the indications
are that the offer will be accepted.
1t is said now that if the offer is not
accepted the company will sell its prop
erty to the Tennessee Coal, Iron 81 Rail
way company, the penitentiary lessees,
who will put convicts to work.
The State has the larger part of her
standing army encamped on the hill at
Coal Greek and the expense is heavy. 1t
is certainly true that if the troops are
withdrawn the convicts will be released
again. ,... .. s-.-.

NORTH PLAIN, Conn, Feb. l5.-Miss
Lavinia Hull, of Myrtle Hill, three miles
north of here, had narrow escape from
death in the Myrtle Hill Baptist Church.
Miss Hull is a sturdy young woman of
Is years, and for three years she has per-
formed the duties of janitor of the church.
She has built the fires, swept the floors
and rung the bell regularly every week,
and the people Of the parish are proud of
her.
While Miss Hull was ringing the bell
for prayer meeting the bell rope suddenly
parted Then she climbed into the belfry
with lantern, to repair it, When she
reached the gloomy place she found that
the rope had been gnawed in two by rats
near the ceiling. EaSssa
She began to mend the strands but
had proceeded only a little with her
work when she heard a squeaking sound
behind her. Looking around she saw a
host of shining balls in the darkness
She knew they were rats and she
swung her arm at them, but much to
her surprise the animals did not disperse.
On the contrary, their number rapidly
increased until she was completely sur
rounded by a ring of cleaning eyes EhfN
The girl became alarmed and prepared
to descend to the vestibule of the church.
but before she was erect the vicious
rodents rushed at her in a body and
sprang upon her, lacerating her flesh
wherever they could find a place to set
their teeth.
Miss Hull had no weapon but heavy
pocket knife with which to defend her
self and she used it to as good advantage
as possible, managing to keep the rats
away from her face and throat.
Miss Hull possessed luxuriant growth
of hair, which hung in braid down her
back. The braid was completely severed
from her head by the rats and her arms
and shoulders bled profusely from the
wounds made by their teeth.
She tried to reach the trap in the floor
from which ladder led to the vestibule,
but failed She was alone in the church
and thd nearest house was a quarter of
mile away but. with desperate hope
that some one would hear her, she be-
gan to scream for help.
Luckily, Arthur Rawson was pBssing,
and hearing the girls cries, rushed into
the church and climbed into the belfry.
He fought the rats as best ne could and
drew Miss Hull toward the ladder which
sha descended. AS soon as she reached
the vestibule the animals were fright
ened away by the light.
In the struggle Rawson was badly
bitten. The physicians say that it will
be many weeks before Miss Hull fully re
covers from the effects of the poison Oi
the rats teeth.

H. II. Dudley capitalist, of New Hamp-
shire, against the county of Custer, the
plaintiff was awarded damages in the
sum of S3, S47.50 If sustained, the
effect will be to compel the several coun-
ties of the State to pay out nearly S2, 900,
000 When they organized at various
times, the counties issued county war
rants to raise funds, and the securities
were placed upon the market, Custer
county repudiated her debt, hence the
suit. Many Eastern capitalists are inter
ested in similar suits.
