Manchesters Took Revenge.
London, Oct 26.-It appears that Cor
don Highlanders and the Manchesters
bore themselves with reckless courage.
To this was due the fact that they suf-
fered so heavily. The former were
keen to wipe out the insults leveled at
them after Majuba by the Beers, who
tainted them with being "Kaffirs in
disguise"
New and stringent orders were pro-
mulgated yesterday with references to
the defenses of Gibraltar. Nobody is
Fallowed to enter or to inspect the bat

cave is closed because it is required

ton. For months miners have been
engaged in constructing new and pow
erful batteries, and it is believed that
the garrison will be augmented.

Consumption Cured.

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE.
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of S25 w. Pearl ST., Indianapo-
lis, Ind, was at deaths door with quick
consumption. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in a constant
stupor with opium A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him a
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle.

THE SOUTH.
Thousands of Visitors in North Carolina
Mountains.

(Asheville Citizen, Asheville, n. o.
The mountains of Western North Carolina
have indeed been a refuge this summer.
From every state south of Maryland and east
of Ohio the tourists have poured by the
thousands, and to-day the counties west of
the Blue Ridge in North Carolina are thronged
with visitors who have fed from the torrid
rays of the sun in the home land to the
shades of these great mountains.
The cooling waters of the French Broad,
Swannanoa, Davidson and Mills rivers, the
Pigeon, the Tuckaseege, the Tennessee,
Hiwassee, Nantahala, Toe, Cane and other
rivers and creeks have been sought by the
invalid, the pleasure-seeker and the sports
man, and from the Blue Ridge to Smoky
Mountains every mountain glen, and gorge,
and valley, and country side has been filed
with those looking for a cooler spot, a deeper
shadow.
And none have been disappointed. There
has not been night this summer, between
Mitchells Peak and Chunky GAL when sleep
was not comfortable under more or less cover
ing.
1t seems safe to say that between 10, 900 and
25O00 people are now in our mountains and
still they come. And this throng increases
as the years go by. What formerly was con-
fined to Ashevile has now spread until it
covers everyone of the ~ counties lying west
of the Ridge, to say nothing of the half dozen
or more on the eastern side of the mountain.
