MISCELLANEOUS.

For your Protection. Catarrh Cures" or Ponies for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken internally, usually contain either Mercury or Iodide of Potassa, or both, which are injur- ious if toolong taken. Catarrh is local, not a blood disease, caused by sudden change to cold or damp weather. It starts in the nasal passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat. Cold in the head causes excessive flow of Ircus, and, if repeatedly neglected the re- suits of catarTh will follow; severe pain in the head, q roaring sound in the ears, bad breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis charge. Theremedy should quicktoallay inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for these troubles and contnins no mercury nor any injurious drug. Price, 60 cents

Consnlar Agents Report.

Chief Chiffon, of the consular bu- reau, has recently returned from tour of the United States consular offices in Mexico, and as result sey- eral consular officers will be relieved of their duties. The agencies at Ga rita Gonzalez and at Ciudad Porfirio Diaz, will be closed, as it was aScer- tained that John F. Valls, the agent, was collecting fees at GaFita Gonaza- leg, and also salary as deputy consul at Nueyo Laredo. Samuel Simmons, consular agent at Ciudad PorHrio Dias was collecting fees there, and also drawing salary as vice-consul at Pedras Negras. The latter is the old name for the same town.
 Charges were brought against Jno. s. McCaughan, consul at Durango, for incompetency and gross negligence, and he was allowed to resign. It seems that McCaughan is manager of the Iron Mountain Foundry company at Durango. Five of his employees withdrew from his foundry last year to start an establishment of their own and attempted to move some of the machinery of the Iron Mountain com pany, which they claimed to have pur- chased. McCaughan had them ar rested and put in jail, Land when one Of them, an American citizen complained to the state department, McCaughan failed to communicate the facts to the department, which were brought to the attention of Secretary Olney by MT. Chiffon. The United States lega- tion in Mexico has been instructed to see that the men have a speedy trial n Fl Paso Herald.

The course was through a rich mining country and on the sierras, among the timber. Nights were so cold up there that heavy blankets had to be supple mented by huge fires fed by resinous pine knots. What the objective point of this new Huntington line may be can only be coniectured just now.

Electric Bitters is medicine suited for any season, but perhaps more gen orally needed, when the languid ex- hausted feeling prevails. when the liver is torpid and sluggish and the need of tonic and alteratiye is felt. A prompt use of this medicine has often ayerted long and perhaps fatal bilious levers. No medicine will act more surely in corntcractlng and free ing the system from tue malarlal poison.
