CURED BY A FALL.
A Lady Frcod from Her Infrmities by an
 Accident.

4 Lady Frccd from Her Infrmities by an
 Accident.
 One of the most remarkable cures ever known in Maine occurred not long ago in Portland, says the Lewiston Journal. Three or four years ago lady in that city was afflicted with what was supposed to be sciatic rheu- matism. She lost the use of one foot and ankle, then of the arm on that side. Instead of growing better the disease continually increased until the whole side of her body was practically helpless. The doctors were not agreed, some calling it rheumatism, others paralysis, q fall received few years before being by several supposed to be the cause. But all treatment was un. availing. The disease, whatever it was, continued it's slow but dreadful progress until the lady was entirely helpless, unable to move hand or foot. It was at this time that the miracle oc- cured. One day during tho tempo rary absence of her attendant in an- other room the invalid slipped from her chair, and, being unable to support herself, fell to the floor.
 The family were much frightened, but were treasured on finding that no serious harm had been done; but the wonder came day or two later when the helpless; invalid began to as tonish her friend; by moving her hands and doing things she had been unable to accompli,, ; fer months. The recov. cry was as st ady but much more rapid than the decline. until now she is fully restored to her old-time health and skill. Whether the fall jared from the brain clot of blood that wa.; holding her in prison or what the cause. it is yident that the fall was what freed ger from her infirmities.

TREES THAT GIVE MILK.
South American Natives Do Their Milking
 Without Using Their Hands.


 Dr. Spruce, the renowned South American traveller, mentions tree, member of the dog banc family, the juice of which is used as milk, says Chambers Journal. On the bark be- ing wounded the milk flows abundant ly, and is of the consistency of cows milk, of the purcst white, and sweet to the taste. The Indian mode of talk ing it is to apply the mouth directly to the wound, and thus receive the milk as it flows. Dr. Spruce says he has often partaken of it without experience ing any ill effects.
 In Guiana, the natives employ the milk from tree belonging to the same family as the l'lst named; in the yer nacular it is known as hyahya, and to botanists as Tabernaemontana utilis (so named after Jacobus Thcodorus TabernacG.OntanuS, a German phySi- elan and bOtanist). The milk has the same flavor as sweet cows milk, but is rather sticky on account of it's contain ing some caOutchOuc.
 In Para, a lofty tree, belonging to the star apple family, attaining a height of one hundred feet, is used in a similar manner to the others men, toned. Incisions arc made in the bark, and the milky juice flows out copious- ly. about the consistency of thick cream, and if it were not for it's taste, which is somewhat peculiar, could be hardly distinguished from it.

Mcdonald, Emery's partner in the Cottle abduction. be admitted to bail. Judge Seaver grant ed the request and fixed the amount of bond at $1O,0O0. MT. Pentacost is endeav- bring to secure bondsmen.

Oates could do more with the president than anybody else, and that Cottle now holds this money conditionally in trust, with an inquiry as to whether the governor wished these statements to go on record.

FIGHTING IN CUBA.
Sk1rmishes Between Gomez and the Forces
 ofGeneral Mella.


 Havana, Aug. 5.-General Mella re- ports that he returned to Puerto Prin- cipe on Friday last from the field of operations against the rebels. He says that the force under his command met the insurgents band under Maxmo Go, meg in the direction of Neuvatas, but that it was impossible to get the rebels to make a stand. The two forces had frequent skifspishes during three days, but the rebels fled before any decisive en- gagement could be had. They left three dead behind them and three of their number were taken prisoners. The in surgents in their flight lost several horses. A number of rebels were wounded, but how many is not known. General Mella declares that the insur- gents are demoralized. He also reports that while a detachment of troops was conveying a provision train from San Miguel to Guayamaso they were attacked by rebels who were repulsed with loss of fourteen killed, including an engineer named Menocal and over forty wounded. A dispatch from Santa Clara says that General Luque reports that government troops had an engagement with a small rebel band in the vicinity of Guaraca- buya and dispersed them. Another band under Pozas was also dispersed. Cap tain Canidas' detachment overlook and dispersed bands under Bermudez and Nunez on the America estate. Several rebels were wounded.

CUT AND DRIED.
Chairman Bland Will Be the Central Figure of
 Missouri's Convention.


 Pertle Springs, Mo-, Aug. 1.-The ad- vance guard of the free silver democrats arrived here this morning. Hon. R. P. Bland was the central figure of the early arrivals Mr. Bland says the convention may possibly complete it's work and ad- iourn tomorrow night It is inferred from this that the important work of the convention is in an advanced state of cut and dried preparation. Chairman Mai fit. while opposed to the free silver dog ma, is in favor of giving its adherents fair play and every opportunity to ex- pend their enthusiasm. MT. Mafftt VIII no doubt name R. P. Bland for tenn porary chairman.
 The silver people feel that they are Tn control and will try to create new state committee. A compromise has been proposed that may minimize this danger Again the silver people argue that no statement of their principles vouId be complete without strong res- olution denouncing sound money democ- racv. including incidentally the national administration. A resolution is already prepared. however, that, if passed, may satisfy the rabid anti-administration- isfs and at the same time have only the effect of a blank cartridge. At noon this place and Warrensburg, two miles dis tant. were in hustle of excitement, ana special trains were hourly arriving, hringing delegates and visitors.

McLAURIN WILL WALK OVER
But There Will Be Hot Fight For and Against
 Henry in the Mississipp Convention.

Jackson, Miss. Aug. 5.--Candidates and delegates to the state democratic conven- tion which meets Wednesday. are begin ming to arrive on every train, and already the limited hotel accommodations are be- spoken. It is confidently predicted this will be the biggest convention ever as- sembled in Mississippi. The offices to be filled are:
 Governor, lieutenant-g governor. secre- tary of state, auditor, treasurer, attor- ney-general, superintendent of education revenue agent, clerk of supreme court, land commissioner, three railroad com m1ssioners and librarian the latter place being always given to a woman. The gubernatorial nomination will go to Ex- Senator A. J. McLaurin by default, all opposition candidates having jumped the track, but all other offices will be hotly contested by the score or more of candi- dates after each. Interest here centers in the fight for secretary of state, the most prominent candidate for which is Col. J. l.. Power, the nestor of the state press, who for three weeks has been des- perately sick and.who will not be up con- vention day. He is the most prominent Mason and Odd Fellow in the state. hay ing been grand secretary of the former twenty-six years and the brethren every where have rallied to his support with great unanimity, but he has strong oppo- sition at home from half dozen candi- dates for other offices lower down on the list, who fear Powers election means their defeat, it being a rule in Mississippi to distribute offices geographically. The convention will probably be in session two days and will adopt free silver reso- lutions. In fact it is doubtful if bakers dozen of ,266 delegates will indorse the administration'S financial policy.

 It appears that the affair at Bayamo has ended very quietly. The rebels, after drawing 10000 soldiers to Bayamo, dis- persed and caused the government great expense, which was really battle won by the insurgents, as it is calculated that in this movement of soldiers or 10 per cent are out of combat by being made sick.

"SUNSET LIMITED"
Faster Time Between New York and San
 Francisco.


 Francisco.
 Washington, Aug. 5--Tne Southern Pacific railway will commence to run on October 1 a semi-weekly sunset linn ited''- between New Orleans and San Francisco, connecting with Southern railway trains between New York and New Orleans. But one fast train week known as the sunset lmted is now being run between New Orleans and the Pacific coast. Officials of the two sys- tems are satisfied that the increased business between the Pacific slope and the east will justify the additional train, and they also express the belief that during the holding of the exposition at Atlanta the passenger traffic between Mexico and Texas will be largely aug mented.
 Under the new arrangement passen- gers leaving New York on Tuesday and Saturday evenings of each week will make a close connection at New Orleans on Thursday and Monday mornings for San Francisco. Under the present sched- ule the travel between New York and Los Angeles over the Southern and by the shorter than by the northerly routes. When the additional limited is estab- lished the time will be shortened three hours
 The Southern railway managers have decided, in view of the increasing bus mess over their road from the Pacific cost, that they will appoint a California agent, with headquarters at San Fran cisco, on September 1. Heretofore the road has had no direct representative on the coast.

QU4sz / VEIN ABOUT 8 INCHES THICK
State.

Arbacoochee Aug. 5.-(Special Corre- spondence. .)-Th.nking that you would be interested in having the facts in regard to the recent gold discovery here, l send you the following:
 The discovery was made by the Hilton brothers, old prospectors in this region, and they were guided largely by nforma- tion given them by their father who fifty years ago worked in the gold washings at this very point.
 The gold occurs in quartz vein about 8 inches thick; and out of a small space, about feet long, feet wide and few inches thick there has been taken up to date at least 5000 worth of gold. It is not pocket but the gold is in the quartz rock itself, and the vein can be plainly seen with the gold sticking in it by an ob- server 20 feet distant.
 Of course old miners do not expect that the whole of this vein will be as rich as this particular place, but there is no doubt that up and down along this vein there are a good many rich pockets; for in old times the miners have taken at least $1,000000 out of the washings in this vicinity.
 The actual discovery was made on part of section 6, belonging to a company
 
 nston, Ala. The tract immediately south of this has been purchased by Chattanooga corporation, which is about to commence work. The tract immedi- ately east is being actively prospected by Birmingham parties.
 There is no question that the discovery is a remarkable one, and the final re- suit will bring a great deal of capital into this section of country.
 Biologists who have examined the vein say that it is remarkable in having foot wall of gneiss, which is sort of granite, and a hanging wall of slate, and therefore is more likely to be con tinuous vein than an ordinary pocket
 The United States geological survey have had experts here, and also the lead- ing scientific papers of the north, nota- bly the Manufacturers Record and Min ing and Engineering Journal.
 Outside of the gold question it may be of interest to your readers to know that there is quite a large immigration into this county from the northwest. Those people are taking up lands rapidly, plant ing them in fruit, more especially going into grape culture, which has proved to be a success in this vicinity. We well come such a strong, hardy and indus trious population as We are now receiv- ing
