IN A RUSSIAN BANK.

When I called at bank in Russia tc

geous livery with long staT in his hand
He wore silk knee breechss, silver buc-
kles on his shoes, long scarlet coat with
silver braid two inches wide, the epaulets
OF major general and big cooked hat.
He led me into a reception room which
was sumptuously furnished. IL might

furniture was artistic and expensive.

two or three guide books. and several

desk furnished with all sorts of station

While l was wondering what I was
there for n gentleman Of lrreproachable
attire and manners entered and asked
how he could serve me- l explained that
l would like ESQ on my letter Of credit.
and wondered how he knew I was an
American, but he had doubtless learned
from long experience to distinguish the
different nationalities, and 1 soon discov-

tleman had not forgotten all about me,
when a page in buttons entered with a
silver tray. upon which were two drafts
duplicates-for my signature. The little
fellow bowed like a French dancing mas

with sense of responsibility. He came

KINGS AND THEIR CAPITALS.
sovereigns Like to Get Away From
Their Court Centres.

The dislike OF kings for their capitals.
and of their capitals for them. is a his
toricaI fact of some interest for which 1t
is difficult to find a satisfactory explana-
| tion. The capital is almost always i'm
| perIaIistic In sentiment. exulting in the
| spread OF the kings dominion. and con-
scious OF certain separate claim to
grandeur as the centre OF national life.
and the point from which all authority
rays out, yet 1t rarely delights in the
| sovereign or his court. The sovereign. on
| the other hand, is usually proud OF mis-
chief city. invests il with all manner of
privileges. and beauties it at the cost of
all other cities. yet manifests toward 1t
certain degree at once of fear and OF
distaste.
The double feeling was. we fancy. mani
tested very easily. Rome must always
have been full of lbels about the emper-
ors and certainly never defended them
when attacked, while the emperors, as
time went on. gradually made a habit Of
absentlng themselves. though to the end
they never forgot that they were great ami
absolute because in them Rome. with her
claim to dominion over earth, was in soTne
way incarnate. The eastern empero.s. il
is true. always resided In New Rome. and
expended vast sums in beautifying and
amusing it; but they always regarded II
as a sort OF wolf held by the ears, while
Of all their cities 1t was the most riotous.
and the one which most needed military |
control
In modern times the Bourb0ns SO dis
liked Paris that for 100 years they gave
up the habit OF living there. while the leo
pie slowly accumulated the hatred and |
contempt for royalty which burst forth n;

ulsr proverb ran Rome is dying with

pleasure in recommending Peruna for

INDIAN NJ. osloNARYS STORY.
Years of ToIIsome Ministry Among the
ChoctawSs

ChoctawSs
Little York, Ind, April 1.-(Special).
twenty-five years ago the Rev. c.
H. Thompson left Indiana. For a
time he preached in Arkansas, after
wards entering on the regular mission
airy work among the Choctaw Indians.
For five years he lived and labored
among the full bloods Of the western
prairies, until on April 5th, 1885. haV-
ing lost his wife, he left the circuit
on which he had preached SO long. and
commenced travelling missionary
work among the Indians OF the various
tribes scattered in the west.
This irregular work involved a great
deal Of travel over the prairies. The
drinking of so much alkal water,
brought on kidney troubles which
terminated in Diabetes.
Finally, while laboring among the
Creek Indians at Wagner, Indian
Territory, this noble man was strick-
en- down completely. A Chicago spe-
cialist was summoned, and after a
careful examination declared that there
was not the slightest chance Of his re-
covery. Besides the prescriptions Of
the doctors he tried many other medi-
cines, but all to no avail. He says:
Il had concluded that my days were
drawing to a close, when I picked up
an almanac telling of the cures OF Dia-
betes by the use OF Dodd's Kidney Pills.
1 sent for two boxes. 1 gained strength
and spirits from the time l commenced
to use them, and sc / sent for more. l
am now completely cured, and have
not the slightest symptom OF my old
trouble.
II am So years of age. I tell every
body Of the wonders Dodd's Kidney
Pills have lone for me. 1 can certainly
endorse them heartily, and vouch that
they are all that is claimed for them.
They have certainly been a God-send
to me-"
Dodd's Kidney Pills are the only
Remedy that has ever cured Bright's
Disease, Diabetes or Dropsy and they
never fail.
