The Passion Flower.

The passion flower derives its name
from an idea that all the instruments OF
Christ's passion are Representative,
the five wounds, the column or pillar OF
scourging, besides the three nails, the
crown of thorns, etc. Most of the pas
sion flowers are natives of the hottest
narts of America.-London Tit-Bits.

There's a patent medicine which is
not a patent medicine-paradoxical as
that may sound. It's discovery the
golden discovery of medical science!
It's medicine for you-tired, run
down, exhausted, nerve-wasted men
and women; for you sufferers from dis
eases of skin or scalp, liver or lungs
its chance is with every one, its season
always, because it aims to purify the
fountain of life-the blood-upon which
all such diseases depend. The medi,
cine is DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. The makers of it have
enough confidence in it to sell it or
trial. That is, you can get it from youl
druggist, and if it doesn't do what it il
claimed to do, you can get your money
back, every cent of it. That's whai
makers call taking the risk of theil
words.n

1t was Mr.. Emerson who said 1.-THE
first wealth is health" and it was a
wiser than modern philosopher who
said that "the blood is the life" The
system, like the clock, runs down. 1t
needs winding up. The blood gets
poor and scores of diseases result. 1t
needs tonic to enrich it.
A certain wise doctor, after years of
patient study, discovered medicine
which purified the blood, gave tone TO
the system, and made men-tired,
nervous, brain-wasting men-feel like
new. He called it his Golden Medical
Discovery 1t has been sold for years,
sold by the million of bottles and peo-
pie found such satisfaction in it that
DIR. Pierce, who discovered it, now
feels warranted in selling it under a
positive guarantee of its doing good in
all cases.
Perhaps it's the medicine for you
Yours wouldn't be the first case o
scrofula or salt-rheum, skin disease, Of
lung disease, it has cured wheI
nothing else would. The trials wortf
making, and costs nothing. Money
refunded if it don't do you good.

THE COMING STATE CAMP.
Admirable Arrangements Made for its
Opening Tomorrow.
S,s~i1T TfisqrqUl 20 me Register

Special Telegram 10 tRs Register.
PARKERSBURG, W. VA, July IL
Those who think the National Guard
OF this State is a small affair would be
surprised at the interest manifested by
the incoming members Of that Organiza-
tion, aud more especially at the efforts
of Gen. b. d. Splllman and his excel
lent staff TO make the approaching en-
campment a success.
A visit to the camp ground would
convince the most doubling Thomas
that the boys will be most bOuntifully
provided for during their stay here.
The camp grounds, one mile from the
b. & o. depot, have been carefully Sc
lected and everything that the states
meagre allowance will permit is being
done TO insure a profitable and success
fui gathering OF the public force OF the
State. Major j. c. Gluck, Brigade
Quarternaster, ably assisted by Lieut.
enant Price, Quartermaster of the First
regiment, aud Lieutenant Beardsley,
ouartermaster Of the Second regiment,
with Sergeants johnson and Gramm,
and a diligent corps Of workmen, are
preparing 10 receive the troops in hne
shape when they come In on Tuesday
next. Camp Blennerhassett is splendid
ly located, with all the modern conyen-
iences attached. including stables for
horses, mess tents, ranges for cooking,
water from the water works just beyond
the ground and as fine a parade and
drill field as any guardsman could wish.
Governor Fleming was here yesterday
and expressed himself as highly pleased
with the arrangements already made, as
did also Colonel Freer and Adjutant
Shaffer, of the First regiment, who came
in TO look after the interests OF their
command. The troops, some eight nun
dred i'm number, will be here on the
evening Of the 10th, and Parkersburg
shows a disposition to make their stay
exceedingly pleasant.
General Spilman, Colonel Freer, Ma
ior Bandy, Captain Shaffer, Captain
Morrison and the local military were at
the camp this afternoon, and in brisk
military way waived ali inteIrogatories
by saving, "COme and see MS next week
and we will show you as fine body OF
Young men as the State Affords" al
though the gray hairs OF some OF the
officers make that answer one OF doubt
full truthfulheSs.
The tents for use are entirely new,
and Major G,uck, the brigade quarter
master, informs us that 430 box ticks
will be In readiness for use when the
boys arrive; allowing two ticks for each
tent and each tent TO contain but four
men. The camp was surveyed AMI reg
ularly laid out by Major Pettigrew,
brigade engineer.
We have the word OF Major Bandy,
brigade comnissary, whom the soldiers
''tie TO, that they will be cared for
without burnt powder and sawdust for
coffee, aud all other commissary stores
will be equal TO those furnished oy any
other state 10 its national guard.

WASHINGTON, July 17.-Senator Quay
is receiving hundreds of dispatches con-
yeying the thanks of thousands Of good
Christian people who feel that they and
the whole Christian world are under OBJ
LEGATIONS to him for his advocacy OF
Sunday closing Of the Worlds Fair.
Meanwhile the lid Of the Senator'S other
eve drops very low. This is peculiar
ity OF the lid Of the Senator'S other eye.
The United States Senate is very re-
ligious and temperate body, as every
body knows, and therefore IL would
never do to insinuate that all the Sena-
tors who voted for Sunday closing OF
the Fair were not perfectly sincere, nor
that there was the least hypocricy in
the vote for the liquor prohibition
amendment, which was afterwards
knocked out The fact that the Senate
has on occasions held sessions and
worked on Sunday must not be allowed

tue, as such sessions have always been

Swallowed Up in a Volcanic Erup-

MEAGRE NEWS IN AUSTRALIA.
The Sea Covered for Miles With Float
ing Debris.
One Of the Most Terrible Calami-
ties Of Modern Times Report
ed from a Remote Corner OF
the Globe An Entire People
Vanish from the Earth.

LoNDoS, July 1.-THE steamer Cat
terthun, which has arrived at Sydney,
n. 5. W, reports that when she touched
at the island Of Timor, there was a
runner current that the island Of Sangir
in the Malay Archipelago, had been
destroyed by volcanic eruption, and
that the whole population, comprising
$4,000 souls, had perished.
The Catterthun steamed FOR miles
through masses Of volcanic debris.
The Sangir Islands form an extensive
group in the Celebes sea, their mean
position being in latitude 4 degrees
north longitude 194 degrees east. Great
Sangir, the largest island, has an area
Of 27s square miles. It had apopula-
tion Of about 1 3, 900, and was divided into
four governmental divisions, each ruled
by a Rajah. There was a good anchorage
on the west side, in latitude 3 de-
grees, 9s seconds north longitude
125 degrees A minutes east The
Island is of volcanic origin, and in the
northwest portion is an active Volcano
GALLEY Abu, on Ash Mountain, which
4 caused Repeated damage, and which
is supposed to have been the cause OF
this last and most terrible disaster. In
March, 1866, this volcano poured an
immense quantity Of mud, boiling water
and lava over the surrounding country,
causing the loss Of 2,sO6 lives.
The chief products Of the Island are
sago. rice, tobacco, cocoa, cane, etc,
and some very fine timber is produced,
e The Inhabitants belong to the Malay
race, and their chief characteristics are
bravery and cunning. A scarcity Of
good drinking water through ages has
caused a peculiar skin disease to be very
prevalent. In the fifteenth century
they were converted TO MahOmedanism,
but a century later, under the influence
OF the Portuguese, they embraced Chris
tianity. and have had schools, churches
and other evidences Of an advancing
civilization.
