Since 1873 there have been nine
epidemics of dysentery in different
parts of the country in which Cham,
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar,
rhoea Remedy was used with perfect
success. Dysentery, when epidem,
ic, is almost as severe and danger
GUS as Asiatic cholera. Heretofore
the best efforts of the most skilled
physicians have failed to check it's
ravages, this remedy, however, has
cured the most malignant cases,
both of children and adults, and I'M
der the most trying conditions,
which proves it to be the best medi-
cine in the world for bowel com
plants. For sale by Hoof, Druggist.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
The Great Drough.

The deficiency in rainfall in this vi
entity for the year 1895 is now over
eight inches. With the exception of
about One-half an inch all this defc-
lency has occurred since August l. At
the close of July the rainfall for the
year was almost normal. June and
July had had a plentiful supply of
moisture and what deficiency there was
was due to the dry weather in the
spring. But for siXtv-tVe davs past
only I.2O inches of rain have fallen in
tins vicinity, while the normal amount
Is over nine inches. The consequence
Is that the ground is unusually dry,
wells and streams are shrinking and
the late vegetable crops have been ir-
reparably damaged.
The only consolation PHILADELPHIA
has Is that it is suffering no more than
most OF the country east of the Missis-
slppl River aud not so badly as some
localities. New York city has de-
fclency of 8.63 inches of rain for the
year, of which nearly 4 inches is due to
July and August. Cincinnati is still
worse off with total deficiency for the
year of 1875 inches, but Onlv 264
lHNhOS vi tutS Is uuc 10 the TWO past
months. indianapolis show a deficiency
OF nearly l3 inches and Chicago a de-
ticiency of SIP inches for the year.
In the South, Atlanta shows a defic.
iency in rainfall of 3.82 inches for Sep.
tember, New Orleans 2.69 inches for
the same month and Louisville, Ky.
2.88 inches.
West Of the Mississippi River, how
ever, there has been an abundance of
rain. Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska,
Kansas and the Dakotas have been
plentifully supplied and the result is
such crops of corn as those States never
saw before
The chief harm done by drouth in
the autumn is in drying up the water
courses and in threatening a short wa.
ter supply during the winter.
Only once in twenty-five years in
this vicinity has there been such a dry
September as the one Just past, and
that was in 1884, when only one fifth
OF an inch of rain fell as against two.
thirds of an inch this year, while the
August of 1895 is put down in Govern
ment records as the driest one since
1870.

Salt Water in the Delaware.

The Philadelphia Ledger says: I'm
less there are heavy rains very soon
the Delaware river may become an
inland sea. Within few weeks the
fresh water that has for wears distin
pushed the river at Philadelphia has
undergone change. OFF Market
street, at high tide, the water is un.
mistakably salt. Old rivermen who
have been following the water the last
fifty years, say that such a thing never
occurred before within their recollection
and they do not remember bearing
their fathers speak of like condition
Never before, said an old tugboat
captain, was the salt water known to
come up above Marcus Hook. That is
twenty miles below Philadelphia. Now
1t extends above Richmond, and some
go so far as to say that the water is
brackish at Bristol. Crabs and salt
water fish, which could not live in
fresh water, have been caught all along
the river front in the lower part of the
city. This, fisherman say, is unmis-
taxable proof of the encroachmeut of
the briny sea upon the waters that
formerly were fresh.

West on Bayard.

Lord Sackville West of Great Britain
having for six years "nursed his wrath
to keep it warm" has appeared in
pamphlet, printed for private distribu-
ton, in which he makes vigorous at
tack upon Ambassador Bayard. The
ambassador in 1888, was Cleveland's
| Secretary of State, and the part ne took
in bringing about Vests recall from
this country, in which he was stationed
as the British Minister, is the basis for
the pamphlet.
II will be remembered that in Sep.
tember, 1888, man in California, sign
ing his name as Murchson, and pre-
sumably an English-born Democrat,
wrote to the British Minister, asking
his advice in the matter of casting his
ballot. The minister replied, in the
course Of his letter saying:
"You are probably aware that anv
political party which openly favored
the mother country at the present mo-
ment would lose popularity, and that
the party in power is fully aware of
this fact"
Later on the letter was made public,
and although it was shown to be politi
cal trick to get the minister to express
himself upon the subject of the outcome
OF the presidential campaign, there was
tremendous uprOar raised throughout
the country. The letter, it was claimed
by the Democrats, did their cause no
end of harm, and one New York Dem
ocat said that it was making ten thOus-
and votes a day for General Harrison.
The administration became indignant.
fearing that it was to lose the Irish
vote" After considerable talk and
correspondence West was recalled, and
Cleveland was not reelected. During
the time the matter was pending Sec
retary Bayard, in an interview, said;
While there must be concensus of
opinion as to the impropriety of the
expression of individual views by anv
one holding the position of a foreign
envoy, it is still to be hoped that we
will be able to settle the issues involved
In the pending canvass without the
importation of foreign interference or
lntermeddling in our domestic affairs.
The American people will be prompt
to resent and repel as impertinent anv
such attempts, but they will easily
recognize the political pitfall arranged
by the California letter, with its object
so plainly stamped upon its face. and
addressed to the British Minister. into
which he has so surprisingly stumbled"
AT another time the Secretary went
so far as to declare that it was a Ques-
tion whether or not the British Minister
had not been guilty of violating a
United States statute by conspiring
against the government, which meant
the Cleveland administration. In course
of time. however, the incident was for.
gOtt en-, and Lord Sackville West has
made mistake in taking up the ques-
tion again after a lapse of six wears.
He still holds, it appears, deep-rooted
grudge against Mr. Bayard, and his
story of MY Mission to the United
States" ought never to have appeared.
