Paris, Nov. 1.-THE French foreign
office has announced that the Sultan
has signed an trade for the execution
of his engagements with the French
government, and that the Franco
Turkish dispute is now at an end. -
Tewfk Pasha, Ottoman minister OF
foreign affairs, wrote a letter to M.
Bapst, councillor of the French en1-
bassy in Constantinople, notifying him
OF the signing of the trade, which, while
settling the original French demands,
accepts the fresh demands as set forth
in a dispatch from Constantinople on
Friday, together with an additional
clause by which the Sultan pledges
himself to consider as authorized in
full right the foundations, extensions,
construction and repairs of the schools
and religious establishments which
France may desire to carry out II the
Porte is advised of her Intentions. and
makes no objection within five months.
France has thus received full salts
faction, and M. Delcasse, on the re-
ceipt of M. Babst's dispatch yesterday
morning telegraphed him to inform
Tewfik Pasha that diplomatic relations
had been resumed, and that M. Bapst
should consider himself as regularly
charged with the affairs Of the en-
bassy.
Instructions were also sent to Ad-
miral Caillard at Mitylene to re-em-
bark the marines and to return to
Greek waters, which is understood to
mean the vicinity of the island Of
SYRIA. Admiral Caillard will remain
il the Levant some time longer.
NJ. Constans, the French ambassador,
will return to Constantinople very
shortly. The additional clause was
conceded at the request of France in
order to prevent future difficulties,
such as Turkish provincial authorl'
ties have often raised, either on their
own initiative or in consequence of in
stigation by the Porte.

Deafness Cannot be Cared

By local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitu.
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in.
famed condition of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube getsinfamed
ing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness Is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition. hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by eatarrh,
which is nothing but an in1amed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cam
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

changes not, bat that my only purpose
is TO touch the unprejud iced heart of
American sympathy in behalf OF these
old ex slaves, thousands OF whom are
helpless and homeless, beg pardon.
It Is a wonderful thing to live, and
whenever any government decides that
it is not responsible fer all Of it's citi-
in certain degree, it has failed to Learn
to live.
AS some writer has already said, that
the best protection Of q nation is all OF
it's men, so mote the principle grow IN
America. While I acknowledge the
fact that So on per month pension is q
mere tIif14 for an old Mexican War
veteran ldier, realize it to be 100
per cent more than has ever been paid
to the old ex-slaves who are OF more
service in an agricultural way, but less
able to earn support. When for mo
ment, I allow my mind TO retrospect
the time when this country Was but an
uusubdued waste-howling Wilderness
whose mountains and valleys were
filed with led men who knew no sane
ton but massacre and war, L see the
Negro ex-slaves of today wading into
the forest among the ferOcions animals,
telling the trees etc., which TRANSFORMED d
this country into one Of the most pre-
ductive and powerful governments that
dots the lace Of the earth.
And again when my attention is call
ed to the fact, Of the intelligent, stfici-
ent, and an inventive age OF plenty, IN
which We live. and see these now new
vaseaI subjects, buldened with maDy
sff1ictlOns from age, /. e.s those VINO
really need assistance, and the govern

When the Indian and the animal
