REMARKABLE CASE.
Man In q Mankato (Hinn.) Hospital Who
Has Lost His Identity.

Man In q Mankato (Minn.) Hospital Who
Has Lost His Identity.
In letter to members of the clergy
in the east, Rev. George Fl. Davis, rector
of st. Johns Presbyterian Episcopal
church in Mankato, Mimi, tells of the
strange case of a man who has so COM
pletely lost all sense of his own iden-
tity as to make it wholly impossible
for him to give his name, birthplace or
other facts concerning his personal
history. Mr.. Davis has written the let
ter in the hope that the mystery may be
unraveled. Mr.. Davis account of the
incident isas follows:
On October 16 a well-dressed, gentle
manly appearing man called upon the
undersigned, announced himself as q
churchman and asked to be introduced
to some physician with whom he might
confer as to his mental condition. He
said he had lost all knowledge as to his
personal identity, of which fact he had
become conscious within few days.
The stranger was taken to one of the
leading physicians, and, after careful
examination, placed in the city hospital,
where he still remains. He thinks he
has gone from place to place for con-
siderable time, but cannot tell how
long. Nothing about him gives any
clew to his identity. Some of his linen
is marked 81. Fl. H." and he registered
ut hotel as 81. Harrison, st. Paul." but
he thinks that is neither his name nor
his home.
He is an Englishman by birth, about
30 years old, we'll educated, and thinks
he has travelled extensively in this coun-
try and abroad. He also thinks he at
some time acted as a lay reader.

oousLE-HEADEo SNAKE.
How the Strange Reptile Suddenly Disap-
peared from Existence.

Joseph Van Sickle, of Espy, Columbia
county, recently called upon his boy
hood friend and schoolmate, the snake
editor of the Wilkesbarre CPa.) Record.
Mr.. Van Sickle is man who abhors q
lie or a liar, and 20 years ago he and the
snake editor attended the same Sunday
school and sat side by side on the same
seat while the teacher instilled the seeds
of truthfulness, which have since been
such prominent characteristic of us
both.
Mr.. Van Sickle, in his brief visit, told
us of late happenings on our native
heath, and among others of the death

any dogs ears ever spoke. For long
time Keno-for that is the dogs name
lived all alone with his owner and
had the privilege of roaming over big

Keno got his eye on them; for Keno is
q jealous dog, and he wanted all the
attentions of his master for himself.

Celebration VIII Begin in February, the
Climax Being Reached in June.
The queens accession jubilee, though
it's climax is fixed for June next, will be
introduced by series of social fetes
beginning in February. Its influence
upon the London season is already dis
tinctly felt. tbs understood that there
will be no less than five drawing rooms
and that the queen will be present at
three. The court concerts, levees and
other functions beginning in May will
continue until the middle of July. The
programme of national demonstrations
is not yet fixed, but the feeling and ex-
pectation in court and official circles is
that the accession jubilee will be rec
ord of rejoicing exceeding the jubilee
fetes of 1887.

One Disease and One Remedy.

"The art of painting" said Millais,
Consists in selecting the right coIors and
putting them in the right place THE
way to win a BATTLE" said Napoleon, sis
to mass your troops at the critical mo-
ment against the weakest spot in the
enemy's line. THE way to cure many
ailments" said the great DIR. Abercrom-
bic, ''is to purify the poisoned spring in
which they arise, generally the torpid
and infiamed digestive system"
Thus wisdom and experience simplify
and condense. Thus the Shakers Of
Mount Lebanon reasoned when they
sought, and finally found, a remedy for in
digestion and dyspepsia. Where one
person has something else, they argued
n thousand have this. To cure this alone
will almost rid the world of sickness
Why should we vex ourselves with con-
fusing definitions? A good digestion is
life and health; a bad one disease and
death. Hence, from the healing and
stimulating mountain herbs, they ex-
tracted the principles which make the
Shaker Digestive Cordial the rarest and
most effective of medicines for one dis
ease, and only one-indigestion and dys-
pepsia.
Do you suffer from any OF these misera-
bic feelings ?-depression of spirits, heaYi-
ness and pain in the stomach after meals,
bad taste in the mouth, wind in the
bowels, irritable disposition, nervous
weakness and alarm, worry and weari-
ness, costiveness or irregularity of the
bowels, nausea, palpitation, sick head
ache, heartburn, loss Of appetite and
sleep, dry skin, ETC.?
Don't indulge in fifty foolish fancies.
You have indigestion and dyspepsia and
nothing else. Set the disordered stom-
ach right with the one medicine which
will surely do it. Shaker Digestive Cor
dial, and these symptoms will vanish
with their cause. A good effect will fol-
low the first dose. Even chronic cases
soon yield.
Test the cordial, at practically no cost,
by taking a ten-cent trial bottle. For
sale by nearly all druggists.

Filibustcrs Sentenced to Death.

MADRID, May "a dispatch from
Havana says that the five prisoners
captured on the schooner Competitor
have been sentenced to death. The
men sentenced are Alfredo Laborde,
born in New Orleans; Owen Milton, of
Kansas; VIM. Kinlea, an Englishman,
and two others, both Cubans. Their
trial began in the Havana arsenal yes
terJay morning. The accused men
pleaded not guilty and witnesses ad-
mitted that when the men were captur-
ed they were not armed and offered no
resistance. U. S. Consul General Will
liams made written protest against
the trial. The Competitor sailed from
Key West between 10 and II o'clock
On the night of April 20 and had on
board 25 or 80 CubaDs. A few days
after the schooner sailed from Key
West, she was captured by the Spanish
gunboat Mesagera, near Berracos. She

SOME Northern filibuster newspapers
are denouncing General Weyler for ex-
pelling from Cuba certain press CORE
spondents who have been eliminating
him and his government and attempt
ing to further the cause of the Cuban
insurgents. These newspapers never
knew anything of the recent history OF
their own country, or else have remark
ably short memories. Why, the build
ing in which this very newspaper was
printed, with all its invaluable records,
was burned to the ground and utterly
destroyed by the forces of the U. 5.
government, not for eliminating the
powers that were, nor for furthering the
cause of the Confederates, but for pub
fishing a true account OF a gross and
gratuitous outrage perpetrated upon
minister of the gospel by .. S. soldiers,
under orders from their officers, and
newspapers even in the North were sup
pressed because they published true ac-
counts of battles in which the Confed,
crates were successful.

Dissension i'm the Camp.

DENVER, Col, May 9.-The fight be-
tween friends of Senator Wolcott and
the silver republicans who want Sem
ator Teller to lead the delegation to St.
Louis, is fast becoming intensely bitter.
Governor McIntire yesterday said
that unless the delegates selected to go
to the national convention will be
pledged to follow Teller's lead, the
republicans need not hope to carry
their State ticket this fall.

SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 8, 1856.

In Mr.. VESTS speech in the Senate
last Thursday, he proved, by letters from
responsible people and extracts from
reliable newspapers, that the post
masters, marshals and deputy marshais,
attorneys and assistant attorneys, and
other U. S. officers in Michigan, all in
the pay of the government, and all alb
sent from their offices, by ways that
were dark and tricks that were not
vain, obtained seats as alternates in the
recent democratic convention of that
State, and by other peculiar means Sc
duced sufficient number of delegates,
elected as silverites, to enable them to
take charge of that convention and
adopt a gold platform, and elect a
solid silver delegation to the Chicago
convention. In plain view of this,
with what grace can the few gold demo-
Gratis of Virginia, right as they may be
on the currency question, object to the
adoption of the unit rule by the demo.
cratic convention of their State, if, as
is now apparent, a large majority of the
delegates to that convention shall be in
favor of free silver?

CONGRESSIONAL.

The river and harbor bill was COM
pleted in the Senate yesterday, with
the exception of the item for deep
sea harbor on the Pacific coast. This
has aroused keen opposition, the two
California Senators opposing the pro-
posed contract appropriation of 50 ,09S,
600 for harbor at Santa Monica bay,
on the ground that it is fostered by the
Southern Pacific Railroad, as against
public sentiment and the recommends
tons of two boards of army engineers.
Mr.. White, of California, commented
on the extraordinary condition by
which the commerce committee of the
Senate was forcing an appropriation on
State against the wishes of its Sena-
tors, Representatives and people.
The district appropriation bill was
reported to the Senate yesterday after
noon by Mr.. Teller. The charity
appropriations are parcelled out to the
several institutions as heretofore, in
stead of being put in lump and let by
contract as proposed by the House.
The completion of the Lydecker
tunnel and new reservoir at Howard
University is provided for. The bill,
as reported by the committee, carries
~ aggregate appropriation of Sc, 961,-
sos, net increase over the total ap-
preparation as the bill passed the House
of 81 ,542 ,93S.
Senator Gray, from the committee on
privileges and elections, submitted the
report of the minority of that commit
tee on the resolution providing for an
investigation of the Alabama election.
The report asserts that the Senate had
no power to make and investigation
and that the claim of the majority that
the Senate has power to authorize an
inquiry as to whether Alabama has a
republican form of government is
wholly unfounded and an indefensible
insult to that great State and to 80 per
cent. of its population
The members of the House voted
themselves 800 per month for clerk
hire during the recess of Congress. I'm.
der resolution passed by the Fifty
second Congress, the members of sub
seouent Congresses RECEIVED 500 per
month for clerk hire during the ses-
sions. Yesterday the proposition to
extend this allowance to members dur
ing the recesses of Congress came up
in the form of the Hartman resolution,
adversely reported from the commit
tee on accounts. 1t occasioned some
very sharp debate. 1t had the support
of MIR. Cannon, chairman of the appro.
priations committee. but was opposed
by MIR. Dingley, the floor leader of the
majority. Mr.. Aldrich said it would
involve an additional expenditure of
$4,000 per annum. The resolu-
ton was amended so as to ex-
cept members, chairmen of com.
mittees having annual clerks, and
as amended was psssed-130 to
los. An analysis of the vote shows
that La republicans, Is democrats and
one silverite voted for it, and So repub-
licans, IS democrats and one populist
voted against it.
