THE PLAIN or KoR.

About an hour before shutdown we at
last, TO my unbounded gratitude, emerged
from the great belt of marsh on to land
that swelled upward in a succession of
rolling waves Just on the hither side
Of the crest Of the FIRST wave we halted for
the night. My first act was to examine
Leo's condition. 1t was, if anything,
worse than IN the morning, and new and
very distressing feature, vomiting, set in,
and continued till dawn Not one wink
of sleep did get that night, for | passed
it in assisting Ustane, who was one of the
most gentle and indefatigable nurses
ever saw, to wait upon Leo and Job L.
However. the air here was warm and gen
ial without being too hot, and there were
no mosquitoes to speak Of Also we were
above the level of the marsh mist, which
lay stretched beneath us like the dim
smoke pail over city, lighted up here
and there by the wandering globes of fen
fire. Thus 1t will be seen that we were,
speaking comparatively, in clover.

HOPE THE END Is NEAR.

The hope is general about the senate
that the present will be the last week OF
the session. This is based upon the be-
lief that the tariff bill will be disposed Of
in some way early in the week, and with
the tariff out of the way final adjourn
ment can be brought about at almost
any time. None of the appropriation
bills, with the exception Of the sundry
civil and the general deficiency, are yet
TO be acted upon TO any extent by either
house, and these two are in such an add
vanced stage In conference that day Of
jealous work would probably suffice to
put them both in shape TO be sent TO the
president. The Chinese treaty IS the
only other business that would hold con
gress for day, and this is also in condi-
ton TO be taken up and voted upon early
in the week

NEW TESTS OF sMoKELEss POWDER.

The ordnance department of the army
has determined TO test smOkeless powder
in the big guns in the hope of obtaining
"A product which can be used in all cali
bers, and has been watching with great
deal OF interest the navy'S efforts i'm this
direction. The navy has been expert
menting with foreign powders, and also
with few samples manufactured In this
country, but the results SO far are not all
that could be desired. In the first place
the powder has not been used with sue
cess in the pieces Of the larger calibers,
and from present indications IL will be
some time before this result is obtained.
The army ordnance department, how
ever, believes il can do better than the
navy and will soon begin experiments
with smokeess powder at the Sandy
Hook proving grounds. Both the army
and navy are pleased with the results
obtained from Smokeless powders in the
small arms, and il is the opinion of OIL
Gals that il will not be long before its
adoption Cor the big guns will be ordered.

TO CARRY PROVISIONS TO coREA.

Ye Sung Coo, the COrean minister here,

Christian Herald at New York in regard
to the proposed relief movement in aid
of the natives Of Corea. The minister
says that a freight steamer Of a speed Of
ten knots and a capacity of 1900 gross
tons could be chartered at Sl75 per day.
The letter concludes by saying 1t Will
take the steamer about twenty five days
to reach Chemulpo, the principal seaport
Of Corea, from San Francisco. If the
cargo could be secured by Sept. il would
be able to reach Chemulpo by Oct. /, al

with sufferers from habitual constipation,
piles and their attendast discomfort and
manifold arrangements. The Pellets
are purely vegetable and perfectly harmless
in any condition of the system. No care is
required while using them; they do not
interfere with the diet. habits or occupa-
ton, and produce no pain, gripping or shock
to the system. They act in a mild, easy and
natural way and there is no reaction after
ward. Their help lasts.
The Pellets cure biliousness, sick and
bilious headache, dizziness, costiveness, or
constipation, sour stomach, loss of appetite,
coated tongue, indigestion, or dyspepsia,
windy belchings, heartburn" pain and
distress after eating, and kindred derange-
ments of the liver stomach and bowels.
In proof Of their superior excellence, IT can
be truthfully said, that they are always
adopted as a household remedy after the
FIRST trial. Put up in sealed, glass walls,
therefore always fresh and reliable. One
little Pellet I" is laxative, two are mildly
cathartic. As dinner pill, " TO promote

As have not for some time
seen any thing in your valuable pa

This School-house known as Dry

sublime and romantic scenery. To

flows Dry Branch. Among the
recent improvements here is a mag

A post office, with the worthy
and enterprising gentleman, Mr..

merchants C. A. Dickson and }. l..

letter to tell all about the people,
especially MrP S. Burns, the hos
pitable gentleman with whom
had the pleasure Of staying during
almost the entire term, having been
agreeably entertained by mine host
and hostess who we'll know how to
support and patronize an "old Pet
agocue." And then there is Squire
Thompson, may lie live to be as old
as Methuselah! And others whose
names are Legion" This comm"-

and here does the painter find the
ideal" of that sacred place "home.
A special feature Of this school,
which enrolls forty four scholars
were the closing exercises. The
entire attendance which was large
pronounced it a success, and indeed
the choir and their genius never
appear in any thing but successes
The programme was interesting
and of q high order OF merit

A Few Facts.

A remedy has been found which
cures chronic diseases: not in every
case. but in large percentage OF
them. And in cases too Tar gone
for cure. it affords relief and often
urolongs life. Many who have
been given ovar by physicians have
been prevailed upon by friends to
try this remedy, the Compound
Oxygen Treatment OF Drs' S'arNey
& Palen, of Philadelphia, and are
now living to testify to its curative
mowers. 1t has been successful IN
curing many cases of catarrh' ma
larial fever, hay fever, astnm"
bronchitis, neuralgia, nervous pros
tration, and other chronic diseases
In these diseases physicians have
had little success, as the name they
have given to this class Of disorders
indicates, but Compound Oxygen
has worked wonders.
There is only one genuine Conf
pound Oxygen, and any substance
made elsewhere or by Others than
Drs. Starkey and Palen, Is Spurious.
Avoid limitations.
Ifyou wish to learn more OF this
wonderful remedy, send for our

numerous testimonials and records
of surprising cures.
