A foreign medical Journal is authori-

will at once relieve the most violent
attack of coughing. This Is a simple,
easily obtained and HARMLESS remedy,
and it It keeps good it's promise will
prove to be Of great value Equally
simple and quite as effective is the
use Of glycerine spray through an
atomizer. This is applied directly to
the infamed or irritated surfaces,
and gives almost instant relief. In
attacks of influenza, colds in the head,
sore throat and like troubles, glycer-
inc mixed with three times it's bulk
OF water, boiled and cooled, is an in
valuable remedy. A little practice
will enable the patient to fill the lungs
with the spray, and the soothing and
cooling effect is remarkable. Mixed
With an equal bulk of sulphurOus acid.
glycerine is an almost urfailing rene

iously to doubtful voters, and voted
them early and often for Rosenstein.
The Mexican friends Of Cody were
successfully tempted by Satan to vote
and work for Rose1stein. The lame
and the halt were not miraculously
made to take up their beds and walk,
but ST. John the Baptist, who owned a
hack, put them into it, drove them to
the pools and voted them for Rosen-
stein. '.
AS for Rosenstein, himself, de-
scendant very likely, of the ancient
Hebrew prophets, he assumed the
mantle Of the prophet and make sue
cess of it. He prophesied that Cody
would be showed under by 500 votes,
and that was just about the majority
by which Rosenstein was reelected.
The Overwhelming defeat of Cody
was indeed a terrible blow to that
promising young lawyer. He COM
planned bitterly Of the ingratitude Of
the Mexican voters, so many Of whom
he had rescued by his eloquence from
the clutches Of the law. He said that
you might as well look for tear in
the eye Of a needle as to expect graft
tude in Mexican voter
But that was not the worst Of it.
He was engaged to be married to a
beautiful and wealthy young lady, the
belle Of the Alamo City. After he was
defeated for the mayorality she stated
publicly that she was no longer on
squeezing terms with that fraud, and
cruelty fired him out of her young
affections. This was the most I'M

the grand spectacular performance
was to take place.
BY the way, Cody had made another
flank move on Rosenstein. As the low
5er order of Mexicans voters regarded
the actors with yeneration due the
high personages they represented on
the stage, Cody sent st. Peter, the
managing editor of the circus, five gal
Ions of whisky, and several boxes of
cigars, that might have been utilized
in poisoning rats. Cody imagined he
was doing something smart, but he
made fatal mistake. However,
will not anticipate.
There was a large audience in the
tent when the performers appeared.
The solemnity of the opening tableau
was somewhat impaired by the fact
Cooly's cigars, and that several Of the
apostles were Enthusiastically drunk.
The Roman centurion executed song
and dance movement that was not
down on the programme. However,
the play got fairly under way without
any more breaks, until st. Peter caught
Satan making love to Magdalen. This
was not in the play, whereupon St
band in private life, knocked off one
of Satan's horns with a back handed
blow from the sword. The Angel Ca
briel, who was a personal friend Of
Satan, promptly gave the aggressive
apostle free ride on the prov of his
boot, but was In turn foored by vic
ious left-hander from Pontius PLATE.
In the twinkling Of an eye, angels,
saints, Satan and the apostles were all
piled upon each other, biting, fighting,
swearing, and the audience was treat
| de to a tableau almost Identical with
the storm center of q collegiate loot
ball match. The air was filled with
yells, cries Of pain and chunks Of crude
Spanish profanity, above all could be
heard the hoarse believing Of the An
gel Gabriel, from whose leg dangled
Satan, who came very near biting a
sample the size of frog out of the
heavenly visitor.
There happened to be on duty in the
tent a stlwart Irish policeman named
John I'itzhenry. When John remon-
strated with the Mexican it meant
six weeks in the hospital with careful
nursing. He was unawed by the sa-
cred titles Of the august personages.
In about minute and half he had
Gabriel and Satan in the street on the
road to the jail, when he was overtak-
en- by the rest of the company, head
ed by Magi, who was noted tough in
private life. They attempted to rescue
the prisoners, and then there was a
second edition Of the foot ball tableau.
Fitzhenry's brother policemen came to
his rescue, and the result was that all
the Thespians were locked up, except
Judas, who profted by the occasion
to elope with the gate money.
Both candidates were out Of town
when the fracas occurred. They were
hunting up votes in the adjoining coun
: ties with which to food the town on
election day. This was not legal
strictly speaking, but there was nc

Honey Dew on Leaves.

The peculiar deposit often noticed
On the upper surfaces of leaves, es-
pecially upon those of the Eastwood
and the hickory, has been accounted
for in two ways: By the excretion of
species of minute insect called
aphides, and also as an emulation OF
the leaves themselves. It may be-
truthfully said that the cause of this
emulation, which is a saccharine
liquid of wonderful sweetness, is still
an unsolved botanical mystery. Gray
says: LIT seems to be caused by some
thing peculiar in the atmosphere, and
occurs most frequently on trees grow
ing upon islands in temperate lati-
tudes."

are mounted at the ends of two levers,
which in turn are mounted at their
,enters on two hydraulic buffing
cylinders, which are placed one ON
each side of the top of the car
rage. The other ends of these
levers carry the counterweight,
mass of metal weighing 81, 900 pounds,
placed in the center of the carriage,
carrying with them the trunnions OF
the supporting levers and raising the
counterweight, which is held in it's ele-
waited position by a system of pawls and
ratchets. When the counterweight is
released it throws the rear ends of the
gun-bearing levers forward and up
ward. The bufing cylinders are
drawn forward over their stationary
pistons to the front end of the car
riage. At the same time the breech
end of the gun is carried up by steel
arms, whose upper ends are pivoted
to the gun, and whose lower ends are
pivoted to sliding blocks which move
in circular grooves, and which may
be raised or lowered to give the de-
sired elevation.
When the discharge occurs the force
of recoil throws back the upper ends
of the levers, which in turn force the
cylinders to the rear end of the car
rage and raise the CONFERENCE.-THE to

caught and held by the pawls and

part of the carriage is exposed above

two thirds of the force of the recol

the other third being used in raising

restriction in those primitive days,
and so everything went.
Next morning the prisoners were ar
raigned before Mayor Rosenstein. His
honor did not present an imposing ap-
pearance on the bench. He was very
short, and as broad as he was long.
He was not pretty to look at, but he
was terror to plan, as We will see
pretty soon. .-...
Policeman FiNhenry went on the
stand and gave a version of the Acts
of the Apostles that showed them up
in no enviable light While he was
testifying Mayor Rosenstein was fix
ing up a scheme to turn the affair to
his own political advantage. He inter
rupted the witness, and said sternly to
him: 49,.
''Vot do you mean by disturbing re-
ligious worshipers dot way? Don't you
know sometimes already dot dis vas
country Of religious liberties and
freedoms!'
His honor then proceeded to de-
nounce the arrest Of the Thespians as
the greatest crime of the century. 1t
was all the doings of his rival Cody,
who having failed to poison the
friends Of Rosenstein, had them ar
rested intending to keep them locked
up until after the election to prevent
them from voting for Lsidor Rosen-
stein the friend of the noble descend
ants of Montezma. He discharged the
prisoners, and once more rebuked Fitz-
henry who was really friend Of
Cody.
Not content with this, Rosenstein
| adjourned court and mingled with the
afflicted prisoners. They presented a
very peculiar appearance. His honor
| examined St. Peters eye, which look
| ed like the stopper Of an old ink bot
| tie, and told him what to do to allay
the Inflammation. He patted the An
gel Gabriel Familiarity on the shoulder,
and told him if he ever got in tight
place again to call on 1sidor Rosen-
stein. He also gave him a dollar to
buy New Years presents for the little
cherubs. He had encourag ing words
for Satan, whose nose looked more like
an Easter egg, or a Chinese lantern,
than a human nasal organ. The sly
Rosenstein even cheered up Mary
Magdalen, who was very much de-
pressed and far from sober. He had a
kind word and q silver quarter for
each one of the victims. No wonder
the al. was rent with vivas for Rosen-

Three events contributed to make
New Years day Of 1856 one of extraor-

the first place Gen. William Walker,
of f1libuster fame, was in the city
drawing up recruits for his Inflated

THE DEARMAN MYSTERY.
A Story Of Mistaken Identity Involving
the Dead and the Living.

the Dead and the Living.
III have heard of great many cases
OF mistaken Identity said an Ulster
county lawyer to the New York Sun
man, "but never Of one quite as re-
markable as that of John Dearman of
Old Hurley, in my county. Ten years
ago John Dearman married Katherine
Crispell, well-to-do farmers daugh-
ter. Soon afterward he took to drink,
and in time abused his wife shameful
ly. Five years ago she determined to
have him arrested for nl-treating her..
but he disappeared before she. carried
out her intention.
s.Mrs. Dearman heard nothing of
her husband after he went away, but
year or so later she read in a news
paper an account of the discovery of a
BODY of man in the Hudson river,
near Newburg. The description of
the drowned man was so much like
that of her missing husband that she
went to Newburg to see if the body
was his. She showed to the coroner,
the physicians who had held the post
norton, and to others who had seen
the body photograph of her hus-
band, and everyone at once pro-
nounced it that of the dead man.
MRS. Dearman had the body disin-
TERED in order that she might herself
see the face and make sure that it was
her husband. She recognized the
body at once, and the further fact
that the dead man had two front teeth
missing, just as her husband bad,
made the Identification the more posi-
tive. She removed the body to her
home and had it reinforced.
IA year or SO ago Mrs. Dearman
married John Branthover and re-
moved with him to Albany, where
they now live, prosperous and happy.
| One day last week, to the amazement
of everybody who had known him,
John Dearman, long supposed dead
and buried, returned to Old Hurley.
There could be no mistake as to his
Identity. Too many circumstances
proved that he was the true John
Dearman. The story of his supposed
drowning was told to him and the
grave where it was believed he had
been lying these four years was shown
to him. He also learned that his wife
had remarked and had moved away
and he said:
"'It's all right. deserve it,
''Then he walked away and hasn''
been seen since. But who was thu
man who was drowned, identified, ant
buried as John Dearman?"
