A New Bit OF History.

An Austrian military officer VINO has
held important posts in Europe, but Is
now resident of this city, told a reporter
recently story illustrative of the effect
iveness of the Russian secret police. The
anecdote. which is of sufficient Importance
to deserve a place in history, is, according
10 the narrator, true of his own personal
knowledge and likewise has never been
published before.

envoy to St. Petersburg visited London,
and received while there an invitation to
visit the dethroned FSench emperor, who

the invitation, Mr.. Curtin was long time
alone with Napoleon, quietly entering into
political discussion with him.
You are very intimate with Prince
Gortchakof' (he Russian chancellor)
said Napoleon. Have you any objection
to telling me his real sentiments concern

thrones?

Curtin, but I'm not at liberty to mention
them.

said the emperor, and am very much
obliged to you
prince Gortchakof's opinion, which
Mr.. Curtin declined to communicate to
Napoleon, had been very strongly ex-
pressed Gortchakof had been saying that
he never would help this French ras-
cal to restore his throne, because he knew
him as man to be extremely dangerous
for the peace of Europe.

prince.
Yes; was in London.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-

famed, you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out, and this tube restored to its nor

forever. Nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but

1t was the universal opinion of those

attractive articles can be mentioned,
and the premium list would be too long
for publication. Among the exhibits
that caught the reporters eye were a

these were rug by Miss Minnie Pierce,

more than it was advertised to be, and
the officials - George Cochran (pres-

Gibson (treasurer), and the directors
have good cause to congratulate them
selves on the outcome Of their seventh
annual display.
