That Aycr'a Sarsnpnrllla is the best cure for Indigestion, even when complicated with Liver Complaint, Is proved by the following testimony from Mrs, Joseph Lake, of llrockway Centre, Mich.: "Liver complaint and indigestion made my life a burden and camo near ending ray existence. For more than four year I suffered untold agony, was reduced nlmost to a skeleton, and hardly bad strength to drag myself about. All kinds of food distressed mo, nud only the most delicate could bo digested at nil. Within tho time mentioned several rihyslcians treated mo without giving re let. Nothing that T took seemed to do any permanent good until I commenced the use of Aycr's Sarsaparllla, which has produced wonderful results. Soon after commencing to take tho Sarsapa rilla I could see nn Improvement in my condition.

So much every one knows, for even those who cannot rend have heard statements of the fact hIiico childhood. Hut apparently every one docs not know that London Is nlso tho greatest city of tho world in mnny other respects, containing more wealth, learning ami fashion, more poverty nnd Intemperance, mora Rroat li braries, churches nnd museums, nnd last, hut not least Interesting, moro odd people, outcasts from other lands, "cranks," re formers nnd political exiles than nuy other city. And not the least Interesting fact Is that theso enormous masses nro kept In order by n police force that Is probably the smallest, in proportion, of any city in the world. About 14,000 regulnr policemen to nbout 4,800,01)0 people is one way of stating it, but the statement needs some qunllflcittlon, as there are never so many in the lino of duty nt once, nntl on the other hand thero are manyprlvnto and special watchmen. In one Important point the "crook" has nn immense advantage in Ixjndon, nntl indeed all over Grent Britain. "The liberty of tho subject" Is thero respected to a degree that would bo surprising in America nnd thought perfectly ridiculous in France or Germany. It is an admitted fact that pick pockets nnd sneak thieves by the thousand nro well and personally known to the po lice, tnlk familiarly with them nnd walk past them with Impunity as long as they are not caught in the act. Again and again has the city chief declared that "a mob of 20,000 rrtfccals might gather in Trafalgar square with the avowed intention of Backing Buckingham palace," and the police could only stand around till tho attack began. Some ludicrous results follow, and his tory records a few episodes of Unparalleled horror nnd havoc. 'When Lord Georgo Gordon's "Protestant army" of 00,000 be gan its march on Parliament house tho police did not feel free to interfere; whon their leaders addressed them, with an ex hortation to burn the Catholic churches, lio arrests wero made, and when tho mis chief actually began tho police were power less. For six days tho great city was at tho mercy Of tho wildest mob of modern times. The prisons were broken open. All the professional criminals joined the orig inal rioters, nnd hundreds of shops nnd dwellings were plundered. At one time thirty-six great fires wero blazing in tho city. Then troops began to pour In from all the garrison towns nnd tho riot was put down by the killing and wounding of about five hundred people. In "Harnaby Itudge" Dickens has given nn account at once graphic nnd accurate of this affair of June 3-8, 1760. CHIEF JAM LB HONHO, When tho 1'rlnco of Wales visited New York he was nmozed to learn that all that vast crowd had gathered antl dispersed without un act of violence or a serious rob bery. They showed him this general order Issued by the captain of detectives a few days before: "Arrest nil known pickpockets on tho streets and take them in." Tho prince was astonished to learn that "the liberty of tho Bubjcct," to bo n pickpocket for Instance, was less regarded In America thau in England, nnd the Duko of New castle was so exercised about it that he mado it tho subject of a special paragraph lu his report. When the prince nnd prin cess gave their public reception in London the mob made a "rush" and overpowered the police, seven persons wero killed, over 200 badly beaten and so many robbed that no list was ever made of the smaller amounts. When the Great Eastern was on exhibition in England the robberies were enormous; tho New York pollceclaim thnt of the 110,000 persons who visited her on this sldfl not one was robbed. "Liberty of the subject" comes high, but tho Eng lish think they must have It. Tho whole history of Ixmdon abounds tu curious episodes resulting from this un stable compromise between mob nud po lice, nnd perhaps tho historic method is the best to show the development and charac ter of tho city government, London was a town before the beginning of history, nnd was big enough to bo mentioned liy Tacitus In A. 1). U5-U8. And ut that early date It needed and had ft vigilant police. Constan tino the Great, the llrst Christian emperor of Home, while n commander lu llrltalu, built a wall around London, according to some ancient authorities, and established a complete police. Under the Saxons it soon liecame the capital of England, and their police was a volunteer body, Tho cltiiens wero divided Into hundreds, with a magistrate for each, nnd each hundred Into tens, tho head of each ten being re sponsible for the rest. Hut tho city1 soon got too big for the volunteer system, nnd William the Conqueror granted a complete charter the flret of which auycopy exists. lu 1101 the first lord mayor was Inaugu rated, nnd soon after tho insurrection of Wat Tylerln 1881 the general constabulary was quite well organized; but In the police proper tho voluntary system still prevailed to a great extent. In 1005 about ISO.000 peo ple (a thinl of the population) died of the plague, and nil municipal government np IMiars to have lapsed. Tho next year the great Are destroyed 13,000 houses, besides churches aud other public buildings, being five-sixths of tho city within the walls, and after that the foundations of the existing wllco system were laid. Still the volun teer principle prevailed to some extent, nor was it tl 1 17M that a complete paid police, independent of county authority, was established. And hero the Inquirer finds ovldtico of that tenderness for "the liberty tf the subject" which is n surpriso to tho Amcricau, an absurdity to the Frenchman, and a hopelessly insoluble mystery to tho German. Tho outcry was so great that tho act was formally repealed, but tho government In troduced the various features of tho system little by little till 1708. As late as lt there were nut v,im men on tne entire metrnpoll tan night patrol, and as-old sailors nud sol dlers and other publlo servants wero pre ferred, ono-hulf of these wero "iigwl, feeble and lncfilcleut," according to Blr Hobert Psel.

On that day there wero tvcuty-lx suiierlntende tits, 272 Inspectors, D0i scrgoants antl 8,603 pri vates n total ot 0,883ueu. They patrolled 6,012 miles of street, covering 087 square miles, with D,803,SoO Inhabitants, and tho arrests for Iho year preceding wero 73,857. At present tho metropolitan police force consists of thirty superintendents, 819 In spectors, 1,300 sergeauts nnd 12,020 con stables ft total of 14,257, all under thodlreo tlon of Commissioner .Inmcs Monro. THE" LdSDoN BLACK MAHIA. The Increase of force has hardly kept pace with the increase of population. American police olllclals who visit there find matter for amazement nnd amusement lu some features of the city government. Charles Dickens speaks of tho sympathy the lower classes of British feel for a drunk man; Americans think the sympathy ex tends to all classes, for a drunk man Is never arrested unless his conduct becomes utterly unendurable. Similarly the worst possible class of women ply their trade un locked; tuey nro not Interfered with as long ns they molest no one else. "Liberty of the subject" ngaiu. Un the other hand, however, when the London police do go for a man they mean business and nro no respecters of persons. Ex-chief of Police Georgo W. Walling, of New York, reports that on a certain great day In London n titled captain In the Cold stream guards tried to ride through n line formed by tho police. hen resisted he struck the ollicer with his whip. Ho was promptly arrested, nnd though his friends pleaded that he was Intoxicated nnd offered any required sum for his release ho was convicted and sentenced to a term of im- irlsonment. Ills noblo relatives then np- ealeu to the queen, uut in vain, bhe mm to answer that tho higher the rank the better the man should know tho law nnd his duty, aud the noblo captaiu had to servo his term. Alacaulay's history of England Rives amusing instances of tho absurd length to which respect for precedents nnd personal liberty has been carried. Savoy and Whitc- irlars were two lxmuon districts in which no one could lie arrested for debt or mis demeanor. The natural result was that tho whole district became so lawless that no process could be executed there without a file of musketeers. "A creditor who vent uretl thero was knocked down, stripped, tarred nnd feathered. He was dragged linked up and down the streets. Finally he was compelled to kneel dowu and curse his father and mother, after which he limped borne without a rng upon him." Tho evil at last became unbearable; "liberty of the subject" was strained n little too far. An net of parliament abolished tho local priv ilege, a royal proclamation warned tho law less to flee, and "when on tho prescriliod dny tho ollicers crossed tho boundaries they found those streets where a few weeks lie- fore tho cry of 'A writ!' would have drawn together a thousand raging bullies nnd vixens as quiet as the cloisters ot a cathe dral." Thero aro no such cornersin Imdon now. Thero nro largo districts given over to vlco and crime, of which Whitechapel has lately attained a name of horror, but thero Is no filaco wherothe police hesitate to go. Blow y but surely the spirit of modem progress transforms even tho darkest parts of Lon don, and thus It becomes easier for tho small police force to guard the great city. "xou nro always safe lu gooil company" Is a London motto which Is nlmost literally niusaiNo IN A WAIK. true, nud unless you Interfere directly with soma other person's rights you need not fear that any "tmbuy" will In your case In vade tho "liberty of the subject." J. H. Beadlr. The Drinking of Alcohol. Tho latest vice to claim publlo attention Is the drinking of alcohol. Tho consump tion of the fiery liquid Is said to be growing qulto general among certain classes ot peo ple, liemarks a physlcluni "The ordinary drunkard is not to bo compared with the alcoholic slave.

A Person Who Create a State of Appre hension Iletvonlble for tho Injuries That Stay Result A Sample Cmo I)e scribed. In a recenl case beforo Lord Chief Jus tice Colerltlgo niul Justices Mathew, Cavo, Day nnd Smith, in order to escapo from the violence of her husband, who had used threats to liia vdfo amount ing to threats against her life, the wife got out of a window, nud In eo doing fell to the ground and broko hor leg. Tho husband was convicted ol having willfully and maliciously inflicted grievous bodily harm on his wife. Lord Coleridge said) "I nm of opinion that tho conviction in this case Is correct, and that tho sentence should bo affirmed. The jirinclplo seems to me to bo laid down quite fully in the Queen ngalnst Martin. There tills court held that n man who liad either tako advantage of or had created n panic In a theatro, and had ob Btmctcd a passage, nnd rendered it diffi cult to get out of the theatre, in conse quence of which n number of people wero crushed, was nnswerablo for the conse quences of what ho had done. Here tho woman camo by her mlichief by getting out of tho window, and in her fall broke her leg. Now that might have been caused by nn act which was done acci dentally or deliberately, in which case the prisoner would not have been guilty. "It appears from the case, however, tliat the prisoner had threatened his wife more than once, and that on this occa sion he camo home drunk, nnd used words which amounted to a threat ngainst her life, saying, 'I'll make you so that you can't go to bed;' that she, rushing to the window, got half out of the window, when she was restrained by her daughter. Tho prisoner threatonod the daughter, who let go, and her mother fell. It is suggested that supposing the prisoner had struck his daughter's anu without hurting hor, but sufficiently to cause her to let go, nnd she had let her mother fall, could any ono doubt but that that would be the same thing as if ho had pushed her out himself? If a man creates in another man's mind nn immed'".to senso of danger which causes stu b person to try to escape, and in bo doing ho injures himself, the person who creates bucIi a state of mind Is responsi ble for tho injuries which result. I think that in this case thero was abundant evidence that thero was a senso of im mediate danger in the mind of tho woin nn, caused by tho nets of the prisonor, nntl .tliat iiCr injuries resulted from what sutW'senst) of danger caused her to do." Tho other judges concurred. Albany Law Journal. Lawyers Superior to Jibes. Outside of tho profession, at least, tho law, as was of old the gospel, is every where spokon ngainst, nnd still moro tho lawyers. The denunciations, sarcasms, jokes nnd lampoons that have bombard ed tho profession from tho time of Clirist's "Woo unto you, lawyers!" down to tho very latest newspaper squib, would have demolished any institution not built upon very strong foundations. Thero is, how ever, a quite sufficient explanation, both of the persistent vitality of tho lawyer s guild aud of the incessant attacks ujion it. It is attacked, and open to attack, because it is a human attempt nt n rem edy for human defects, and partnlces therefore of the very weakness that it seeks to aid; and it llvos and prosicrs becauso thoso weaknesses must havo 8omo aid. It is curious to trace tho unfailing se ries of flings nnd jeers nt the votaries of Themis. Not to quoto any older matter, however, a medltevnl dog Latin rhyme embodied this doctrine very tersely. It said, Donus JurlBta Mains Chrlita; that is, "A good lawyer, a bad Christian." Tho story of Saint Evona of Brittany istothesnmopoint. Thissaint, itseoms, was a lawyer, and a just and devout one, too, or how could ho have become a saint? Perhaps it was because he was not much of a lawyer! He went to Komo, so the legend says, and besought his holiness the popo to appoint a patron saint for the lawyers, who had none. The holy father replied that he would be glad to nccommodato, but unluckily none of tho saints had been in tho law business, nor any of the lawyers in the saint business, so that thero was no proper person. Tho good Breton was much troubled at this; but after n long consultation it was agreed that he should select a patron saint by chance, by walk ing blindfoldod thrico around the church of St. John Latoran, and by then laying hold tipon tho flrtt statue ho could reach, whoso original should be tho desired patron. This was done, and luvving clutched n figure the good Saint Evoim cried out in triumph, beforo ho took off his bandage, "This is our saint; let mm be our patron."

It has been said that tho newspapers mndu Jackson by crying up Ids little vic tories over tho scattered batvls of Union troo I u the Shcnaudonh valley. Tho other sitle of his experi ences the adverse side plays llttlo or no part In the friendly annals of his struggles. Ills first formidable cam pnlgu tu the valley began with n disaster. He was commander of the department, was mot on ground of his own selection by nn obscure Iudlnnn colonel, and was round ly whipped aud driven from bis position lu total rout. The colonel won a general s star by his victory, and became, later.Urevet Maj. Gen. Nathan Kimball. Tho prize at stake was tho commanding position of Winchester nnd the control of the rich valley of Virginia, aud Col. Kimball undertook to defend It without guldanco or instructions from his superiors. On tho morning of tho battle, March 23, 1S02, Jackson sent n message to his chief, Gen. Joseph K. Johnston, saying: With tho blessing of an ever kind Provi dence I hope to lx) In tho vicinity of Win chester this evening." Ho was in that vi cinity, with his face turned the other way, however, and not "kind l'rovluencc," out plain Col. Kimball, U, S. A., commanded the situation. The forces in "Stonowall's" ranks at this time numbered about 5,000 men, and con sisted of threo brigades of infantry and ono of cavalry. Tho Union forces In the vnlley nt the timo consisted of two divisions of Banks' corps, under Gens. James Shields nud A. S. Williams. Williams' command was moving out of tho valley and Shields troops were posted around Winchester watching Jackson. Tne gnmo to bo played was tnls: '1 Ha Shenandoah valley, a generally open coun try, threaded by the Shenandoah river nntl extending from Staunton, an important railroad junction, on the south, to the i'o tomac on tho north, and accessible every few miles through passes from the country east and west, offered ndmtrablo hiding ground for a body or troops adapted to rapid movements. Tho valley Ls broken by several rauges of hills, on ouo of which stands Winchester, thirty miles up tho vnl ley from tho Potomac. Twenty miles fur ther up I. e., south near Strasburg, tho valley ts cut across by a fork of the river and Cedar creek, flowing In from tho west, and hero successive ridges, steep in places, form good battle grounds. Again, thirty miles south, near ,cw Mar ket, a pass is formed by two forks of tho river, liordercd with mountains, tho single valley pike being along exposed plains be tween. Staunton, nt tho head of the val ley, is well covered from attack from tha north by strenms that wind around It on the north, cast nud west. Jackson's plica of refuge would bo Staunton, whero re-en- forccmeuts from other armies could reach him, andthe railroads fromtho south could bring up military supplies. From this point ho could play hide-and-seek in and out nnd up and down the valley. When unnks crossed tho Potomao early in March, 1S02, to enter tho valley tho Con federates retired before hhu, luchester was abandoned nnd to all appearance Jack son was conceutratlng his men nt tho up- Eer end of tho valley. Bunks then sen I alf his men, Williams' division, across tho Blue Bidgo to other scenes nnd ordered Shields with tho remaining division to watch Jackson. It was now that the latter formed his plan to retake Winches ter. Tho depart ment assigned to Jackson was tho valley district. On the morning of tho M Jackson was near Strasburg, the second lodg ment up tho val ley from the Poto mac, and Shields, with threo bri gades, one ot COL. KIMU.U.L. which was led by Col. Kimball, was at tho first lodgment, Winchester. The cavalry skirmishers of both sides wero between. About 4 o'clock that day "Stonewall's" cavalry, under Ashby, advanced on Win Chester and opened with cannon. Gen. Shields Immediately moved out of his camps nud drove Ashby away, but was himself temporarily disabled in tho en couuter. Tho troops led by Shields formed part of Col. Kimball's brigndo, and on re turning rrom tlio front tho general ordered Klmbnll to advance with nil his force nud take command nt the trout. On this Inci dent of tho wouuding of Shields depended the fr.te of Jneksou in his first Independent uaiue. willing tno nigtit bluelds Bent word to Kimball to move forward ut daylight antl drive off or capture Ashbv. Tho uen- eral believed that the cavalry of tho latter was an tne enemy on his front. Kimball went forward nromutlv alontr the vnlloy pike leading south and met tho Confederates on tho hills overlooking the little village of Kcnistown, threo and a hair miles from Winchester, on tho low lands of u little stream running at right atigles across tho main vallov. Kimball planted a battery on one side ot tha pike aud disposed his brigade on tho other side. aud drove the euemy befoiu him into tha valley beyond tho llttlo stream. In this stroke the Confederates lost the key posi tion, and Kimball secured It. Gen. Shields now sent word to his subor dinate to advance. Col. Kimball bent back answer thnt lie hud a strong enemy to con tend with nud needed re-euforcemeuts. nhleltls again ordered nn advance, even In structlng Kimball to send a body ot men with cannon to break through tho enemy's center, divide- his column and capture it in detail, Had Klmbnll obeyed ho would nave (alien into Uio trap Jackson was pre paring tor htm. Kimball rightly belloved that his superior, lying lu his bed five miles distant, could not know what was taking place on tho battleueld, and decided to hold his ground. He now had his own brigade and Col. J. C. Sullivan's also. On learning of Kimball's decision Gon. Shields sent up uia otner origauo unuer uoh ri u. Tyler. ml left tho nlfair wholly in tho colonel's hands. The nun who wus to bo pitted i. .dnst "Stonewall" lu tho first battle of W Inchester had not enjoyed tho ml vim tiises of his opponent in military training. Jackson was n West Point officer who had seen much service. Kimball had been a volunteer captuln lu tho Mexican war, and as colonel lu command ot the Fourteenth Indiana had made ouo campaign in 1S01. At midday Jneksou had deployed his whole force of Infantry across tho valley iouth of Kcrnstown, vith Ashby's cavalry tor u movable column on his riuht (lank. Kimball had his own nud Sullivan's bri gade deployed along the enemy's front, witu tne vine ot tno creek nud tho hamlet of Kcrnstown between, Tho Confederates opened the battlo by attempting to rout ivunumi tiyau assault on his Iff t Hank. using tho cavalry us flankers, and also to make a show of strcngtli. Kimball sent out single regiments to meet tho attack and repulsed It, Then Jackson resorted to tactics which elsewhere made him famous. leaving Ashby's cavalry and a battery to seep up tuspiay on tne neiti wnere tils first attempt hud been made, ho moved all nn iniuutry una tin tj.it tor lea by a con cealed route fur to tho left, In order to seize a height along the west side of tho valley on the right ot Kimball nntl urtiooktugut fmr range tha whole Union position. Mean wrhlla. Aaldir tiuule a bdutv on tha left, ut 11 iainCall to covet Jackson's flAffkltlg lnov8 menr. But Kimball belloved in Jackson's presence on tho Held and had proper respect for his abilities. In anticipation of soma such maneuver on tho part of his opponent, ho sent word to Tyler, who was advancing along tho vnlley piko from Winchester, tn turn off to tho right and occupy tho ground that Jnckson was aiming to scire. Tho Con federate nrtlllery had already taken poslj Hons and was cannonading IClmball'slines' Tho field toward which Jackson's three Confederate brigades nnd Tyler's Union command were hastening from opposite directions was to bo the scene of "Stone wall's" stunning defeat, and ft veritable stone wnll was there to.play its part as n bulwark ngainst tho tides ot battle. The ground was a plateau, presenting on its northern edge n line obliquing south east and northwest to Kimball's position. Along this line was a stone wall, with broad, open fields south of it, whero Jack ton was advancing, nnd having on the north a strip of wood, obscuring tha vlow toward Winchester. Whsn the Confeder ate Una reached the stone wall and sent THE TtTRNtNO POINT, skirmishers into the wood Tyler's skir mishers wero advancing to seize the van tage ground. Jackson's Infantry and ar tillery combined now held off Tyler, and his batteries were also playing hnvoo with Kimball's lino the other side of the valley. Kimball's tactics were at this juncture unique. He had fought three Inferior ac tions in order to hold the ground he then occupied, nnd, with Ashby, and ho know not how much besides, standing ready to pounco upon him there, was loth to leavo it undefended. His force was divided into eight regiments, aud ono by ono these regi ments were moved out by tho right flank to tho front of tho Confederates to assist Tvlerln maintalnlnrr his trround In fmnfc of the stone, wall. The effect that this style of fighting had on tha southerners is told in Jackson's report. Uo says that the re- puisou union regiments with which ho fought at the Btouo wall were replaced by iresn ones urawn from a large reserve. Tho Confcderato Gen. Garnett. whose brigade was in the center nt the stone wall, believed that ho was largely outnumbered because ho saw six different Union flags on his front. Ho nlso saw Union cavalry mov ing around on his left flank, and this bug aboo was simply a few weak detachments sent out by Kimball as flankers. However, uarnctt abandoned the stono wnll, and every effort put forth by tho Confederate commander and his lieutenant to ward off disaster was unavailing. The Confederate troops on tho left of Garnett, Fulkcrson's brigade, wero Isolated by Garnett's with drawal from tho line, nnd the relentless ac tivity of Kimball's men allowed no respite for the recovery of lost ground. The stono wall became tho prize of tho Union men, as did also two of Jackson's cannon. It was now nearlng night, and Kimball's line was very much confused. On his new front there wns n wide strctcli of onon ground, with a wood on tho hither side ottering a good rallying point for Jackson. Uut tne pet of "kind Providence" hod suf fered a cornpleto rout; his troops retreated to their trains, and Ashby's cavalry was drawn upon to do picket duty along Kim ball's front. In his formal official renort. intended fnr eyes in Richmond, Jackson wrote that hough w Inchcster was not recovered, and though the contested field remained In pos session of tho enemy, "yet tho most essen tial fruits of tho battlo are ours." This was penned several days after the fact which ho mado do duty as "essential fruits," namely, tho recall of Williams' Union division to Banks' army in tho val ley as a result of tho Confederate attack at Kcrnstown. But on tho day Immediate ly following his overthrow by Kimball Btonevvall" put upon record another nhaso of his mental processes nt that time. In a dispatch to Gen. Johnston, dated March 34, ho appealed for 8,000 more infantry, a doubling up of his force, to aid him against tumu.m alone, should tho latter advance. Uo was himself at that moment retreatluir south, nnd in tho samo dispatch to John ston ho cried pathetically to his chief, after begging for tho heavy ro-enforcement to ueip mm stand on Kimball, "1 will try and remain ou this side Strasburg." Just how Jackson could make Kcrns town count as an essential gain for his side becauso It resulted In tho return of a Union division to ro-enforco Hanks in tho valley, when Jackson's own column needed to be doubled lu order to withstand Kimball alone, is one of the military raybterles sur rounding the fame of this rerunrkablo southern idol. If numbers counted for any thing, then tho addition of Williams' divis ion to Jvimoairs wouia nave necessitated tho doubling of Jackson's forco a second time, aud that would havo meant the de pletion ot tho Confederate armies outsldo of the valley. Another causa for congratulation, ns Jackson reported, was his belief that ltim- uaii s losses at lverustown exceeded nis own. In point of fact, Jackson's loss was the greater by over 130 per cent. Evidently "Stonewall" met his peer when accident throw him tfoulof Col. Kimball in his first bncnanaaaii campaign. uEOXIQE Ii. KILMER. coat or incctrio Ufiiu.
