BRAVERY.

ca May the End, Andrew Bryant, an honest, hard working colored man. lost his life in an attempt to save tnat of young white lad, who had fallen into and was struggling in the treacherous waters of the Arkansas river at Little Rock. The boy was saved by Mr. W. G. Hall, who happened near the sceae at the time of the accident, but, before aid could reach Bryant, he sank to rise no more. His body was recovered and tombstone, donated by d firm of that city. was placed at the head of hls grave. Through the instru. mentality of the Arkansas Demo- crat, a committee was organized, consisting entirely of white men Gall Democrats) to solicit subscriptions for testimonial to present to the dead mans family.
 On Tuesday afternoon ahouse and lot was presented to BrYant's wid- ow. This action or the part of the citizens of Little Rock is commenda. ble, and again proves to some of our Northern critics that the people of the South are not slow ln recogniz- ing a creditable act, whether the performer be white or black. The black mans friend Is the Southern CT, although our Massachusetts brethren would have them think otherwise.

GLENDowER-"I ean call Sbi11ts from he vaSty deeb."
 HoTsPUR-" Why, so can /, 0r So cGn any n2Gn.
 But zt7H khey come When 1ou do 0aA foy Mem g2'-SHAKEsPEARE.
 How quickly Hotspur's wise and witty retort tears the tragic mantle in which Glendower stalks, and shows beneath bank. Most people would have taken the Welchnan at his word, and called him seer, without noting the difference between to call and to domHGnd.
 Certain points of comparison are sug- gested between G1endower's tragic claim and the comic claim made in some spe- cious advertisements. :" am a woman, l know all about woman. l understand woman, and l can cure woman because I am woman" The modern Mrs. Hot spur puts her finger right on the weak spot of that clamorous claim by saying i: Why If you can cure woman simply because you are woman, then so can and so can any woman" Which very plainly brings out the common sense fact that the cure of diseases does not depend upon being nian or being a Woman but does depend upon being a trained and experienced bhysfcian.
 There is, as far as is known, no quail fled woman physician associated with any proprietary medicine firm. It is cer- tain that there is no one, man or woman, who can show an experience or record equal to that of Dr. R. V. Pierce; more than thirty years of treatment of won,- ems diseases with ninety-eight per cent. cured out of more than half-a-million women treated. Sick women can con- suit Dr. Pierce by letter absolutely free of charge. Every letter is held as strictly private and sacredly confidential. All answers are mailed securely sealed in perfectly plain envelopes. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.

PEACE.

England is preparing for war in the Transvaal, Russia is cont acting for arms and ammunition, France is in danger of civil war, local up risings in Spain against extra taxa tion are causing that government no end of trouble, and the war in the Philippines still con tinues as brisk as ever, aud the Peace Con- gress at the Hague is still in ses- sion, trying to arrive at solution o. the peace question. The present condition Of affairs is not at all en- couraging to that boay. It is to be hoped that in this age of advanced civilization that differences between civilized countries eau be adjusted without the aid of that grim mon- ster-War.
 A solution of the problem would save the lives of thousands of dollars worth of property.
