Royal Jewels.

The private jewels Of the Empress
of Austria are said to be worth be-
tween S1,500,0O0 and $2,0O0,0 900.
Among them is a magnificent neck
lace of pearls, presented by the EN-
peror after the birth OF the Crown
Prince Rudolph. The necklace is
valued at 100000 According to a
Vienna paper, the jewels of the EN-
press Of Russia, alone Of the crowned
heads Of Europe, can be compared in
value to those Of the Empress Eliza
beth. From time to time she has
given jewels to her daughters and
relatives but the collection Is still
almost uneQualed. These private
jewels the Empress can wear when
she likes and can treat as she likes.
They are her private property. This
Is not the case, however, with the
Hapsburg family jewels, Whenever
her Majesty wears stones from that
collection, an entry is made in the
books of the guards to that effect.
The jewels belong to the dynasty.

BRoDERIcK's PISTOL.

Old-Fashioned, but a Weapon That Was
Once Dangerous.
Among the relics which Ned Nc
Gowan possessed when he fell i'll was
pistol which had once been the
property of Senator Broderick, says
the San Francisco Post The weapon
is derringer Of the old school, and
must have been formidable one In
its day. In those good old times
every gentleman carried a pistol, and,
as the modern revolver of self-acting
model and with patent shelI-ejector

Child Cremated.

News has just been received from
Paris, Tex, of the occurrence, in that
city, of a tragedy peculiar to the ne
gro race and which has been enacted
and re-enacted in the south since the
earliest of slavery days. A negro wo-
man, Mandy White, by name, living
in a cabin in the suburbs of that city,
went away from home and left her
two boys, jim and Eugene, aged 6
and years respectively, at home. In
order to prevent their leaving during
her absence she locked them in the
house, in which she left lamp burn
ing. About 1880 the house was dis
covered to be on fire by negro nam
ed Jim Ward who heard the screams
of the children. He gave the alarm
and broke in the door and managed
to get the Oldest boy out but the 9TH
er child perlshed and his body was
literally cremated. The boy who was
rescued died of his burns. He said on
being rescued that the fire was caused
by the lamp falling off cupboard and
breaking.

The negro wife murderer, Henry
Arnold, who so brutally slew his wife
aud then attempted to destroy the ev-
idence of his crime by setting fire to
tho house in which the body lay, is
still atlarge. Amy number of rumors
have been circulated of his capture,
only to be exploded upon investiga-
ton. The latest report as to the fu-
gitive's whereabouts comes from Sui
phur bottoms, where it is said the
murder was seen by a famer while
fishing in the river. 1t will be remem-
bered that Arnold, at the time OF his
escape, had on only pair of pants
and one undershirt, being without
hat or shoes. Hence it is only natural
to suppose that he is either being car
ed for by friends or hiding out in the
woods, as no account of any attempt
on his part to procure clothing has
been heard. This gives some color Of
truth to the report from Sulphur bot
tom.

The Violent Commotion

n the stomach and bowels produced
" violent purgaJive and its conse-
,uent drenching action, never are, be-
ause it is impossible they should be,
followed by permanent good effects.
No specific which weakens and con-
yulses the organs for whose relief it is
used can do good. Blue pills, calomeI,
podyphyllin, salts and SIENNA, Vegeta-
lie or mineral purgative pills, are
drastic remedies generally void OF
benefit. A reliable and effective sub
.titute for them is Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, which effects change
both natural and thorough in the
bowels when they are constipated. A
sufficient and regular secretion of bile
by the liver and sound digestion are
.lso promoted by its use. Malaria in
8ll its forms, rheumatism and kidney
trouble are obyiated by this fine re-
former of disordered conditions of the
system. A wineglassful three times a
day is about the dose.

RATHER DIE THAN LIVE
Body Entirely Broken Out In One
Mass of Sores. Could Not Sleep,
Would Walk the Floor All Night
Crying and Suffering.
BEGAN TO USE CUTICURA.
Immediate Relief, Rest and Sleep.
Complete and Permanent Cure
In Two Months.

The flfst of October my daughter was taken
with Typhoid and Malaria. While sick there came
little blisters in the bends of the arms, which
seemed TO I'LL with water and itch. This doctor
said when she got well these would leave, but
they grew worse all the time, until from her
neck down to her feet, her body was entirely
broken out in one mass of sores. She could not
sleep, but would walk tho floor all night crying,
and said she would rather die than live, suffering
like this. Reading your advertisement in The
ladies Home Journal Of the cures performed by
CUTIoURA REMEDIES in similar cases, we sent
for and began to use them, aud " one week she
began TO get better, would sleep and rest easily
and In two months, after using FIVE boxes OF
CUTIoURA, one cake of CUTIoURA SOAP, and twa
bottles Of CUTICURA REsoLyEST, she was entirely
well, and now after nearly two years there has
been no trace Of the disease. The doctor called
Il Psoriasis. | cannot give your remedies too
much praise, for | believe my daughter would
have died IL 1t had 1t not been for the CUTICURA
REMEDIES. MARY j. NELSON,

ruthlessly killed the thlrteen-yssr-old
son of Conductor johnson, Of that

Home rule in England is as persistent
a question as the tariff is in the United
States. Gladstone is the venerable
leader for the Irish cause and Salisbury
If opposed. Gladstone's usefulness is
nearing to an end on account of his
great age, but like Richelieu, the oppo-
sition may well beware of the falling
ruins That the grand old man does
not think with his old-time clearness is
believed to be true because in fnrnish-
ing Ireland with home rule, he provides
in his new bill that Irishmen shall have
much to say with the management of
England herself. If that clause had
been omitted the advocates OF home rule
would have been strengthened, whereas
now they stand but a poor chance of ac-
complishing their object.
