Jndigestion
IB not only a distressing complaint, of
1 Itself, but, by causing tho blood to
becomo depraved anil tlio system en
feebled, is tlio parent of innumcrablo
maladies. That Aycr's Snrsnparilla
is tbe best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint,
Is proved by tho following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Brockway
Centre, Mich.:
"Liver complaint and indigestion
made my life a burden and camo near
ending my existence. For raoro than
four years I suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to a skeleton, and hardly
had strength to drag myself about. All
kinds of food distressed mo, and only
the most delicato could bo digested at
all. Within tho timo mentioned sovcral
physicians treated ine without giving re
lici. Nothing that I took seemed to do
any permanent good until I commenced
tho use of Aycr's Sarsaparllla, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa
rllla I could sec an Improvement In my
condition. My appetuo uegan 10 return
and with it camo tlio ability to digest
nil the food taken, my strength lm-
strcneth
nroved each day, anil alter
alter a lew
monthi of faithful attention to your
directions, I found myself a well
woman, able to attend to all household
duties. The medicino lias given me a
new lease of life."

MICKEY FINN'S TRAGEDY.
The noiseless, automatlo wind was
Boughlng through IhoUWo sHp of pfney
woods on Ooonoy Maid near tho upper
left hancV corner of Stumpy Field. All
day long, tho rays of tho August sun had
beaten down. .on. , tho dry grasses and
drooping wild flowers in tho field. Tho
air was tremulous with heat, and tha
wido copante of landscape which could
bo seen from' the baok stoop of tho Finn
shanty showed no sign of life. A lazy
butterfly with gaudily painted wings
floated hither and thither on the zophyrs
which drifted out from Lindsley's wood.
A great bumblo boo nestled in tho
shade of tho leaves of tha aweetbriar
bush close by the shanty, from which it
flitted a moment afterward as though
scenting greater sweets within, and
lighted on the rubicund nose of Mrs.
Finn. There was a pause like that be
fore a storm. Tharo was a swipo of the
big red arm, a blow of tho big fat fist
on the sldo of the glowing beak, but the
bee had skipped.
It was no uncertain memory which
the bse had left behind upon that pro
boscis. Little by little the nose, swelled
to enormous proportions, and by the
timo that Mrs. Finn had reached tho
cracked mirror in her dingy bedroom
tho swelling1 had spread to her cheeks,
her eyes, her long double jointed cars,
and to that huge cavern whioh she called
her mouth.
"Ow, wowl Millla murtherl" she
screamed, as sho caught a sight of her
phiz in the glass. At that moment tha
bumble bee camo buzzing around her
head again. Driven wild by the pain in
her noso, Mra. Finn shot) out her flat at
random and struck the looking glass
squaro in the middle. There was a crash,
a scream and a guih of blood. She had
cut tho artory in her wrist. She fainted,
and before sho came to she had bled to
death.
Tho bumble bee buzzed on.
The wind soughed an extra sough
through Lindsley s wood, and the water
In the pond seomed troubled and wept.
Nature mourned. Sho little knew what
a sad old timo sho was going to have or
sho would have got right up and howled.
Mr. Fiun came ambling in a zigzag
fashion towards tho shanty. He had been
liquidating at Mullen's groggory. He
had a suspicious looking tin oan in his
hand, which he sot down carefully near
Mickey a pansy blossoms. Then he smiled,
not with ghoulish glee, but with a satis
faction born of tho hopo that the pld
Billy would meot his just deserts by and
by. The old man turned his giddy foot
step Into tho shanty.
Again the wind soughed a mighty,
mighty sough. Thoso soughs don't cost
a cent, and are only put in to fill up the
time until Mr. Finn gets into his bedroom
and throws off his jumper. lie saw his
spouse upon the floor, but he did not givo

timo jags on.

Little Mickey, the angel of tho Finn

a premonition of approaohlng disaster
entered his little heart as ho mado cow
boy tracks for homo.

Ho sat on the side of his little trundle

As tho sun sank in the west like a ball
of rod flro that evening Mickey Finn's
tame crow lighted on tho chimney of the
ruined shanty. There were tears in his
eyes and his sable breast heaved convul
sively. He gazed over tho soene of des
olation, wiped his eyes on his wing and
tuveu without a moments hesitation
down tho mouth of the still smoking
chimney. As ho disappeared from view
ho croaked in a hoarso, strained voice!

Jarrold will turn his attention to his

With regard to "head product" Mr.
Francis Galton draws the following con
clusions: "(1.) Although it is pretty well ascer
tained that in the masses of the popu
lation the brain ceases to grow after the
age of 10, or even earlier, it is by no
moans so with university students.
Ti.) Hint men who have obtained
high honors havo had, on the average,
considerably larger brains than others at
the ago of 10.
"(3.) That they havo, on the average,
larger brains thuu others, but not to tho
samo extent at the ago of 25; in fact,
their predominance Is at that time dimin
ished to about one-half of what it was.
'(4.) Consequently, high honor men
are presumably, as a class, both more
precocious and moro gifted throughout
than others. Wo must therefore look
upon eminent university success as
largely duo to a fortunate combination
of these two helpful conditions." The

Now nnd then tlio explorer among
primitive peoplo happens upon n "find"
which strikingly illustrates that necessity
is not only the mother of invention, but
that there is n strong family likencBS
among the inventions. An English nat
uralist, while vibiting Great Sangir,
ono of thoso islands of tho Indian ocean
known as tho Celebes, or Spice Islands,
lodged at the houso of a ruiau.
In front of tho house was a veranda,
In the corner of which stood a sentry,
whoso business it was to keep the timo
for tho villago, by tho old of a primitive
sandglass.
Two bottles wore firmly lashed to
gether mouth to month, and fixed in a
wooden frame, made to stand upright in
reversible position". A quantity of black'
sand ran from ono bottle Into the other
in jnst half an hour, and when the upper
bottle was empty the frame was re
versed.
Twelve short sticks, marked with
notches from ono to twelve, were hung
upon a string. A hook was placed be
tween tho stick bearing the number of
notches corresponding to tho hour last
struolc and tlio ono to be rttruck next.
The sentry announced the time by strik
ing the hours on a largo gong. Montreal

Ing of the Wonl "Entry."
It Is a prinoiplo woll settled that the
Uw docs not regard trifles, and yet when
It is a qneatlon of an officer entering a
dwelling to. servo a civil rtoCcea Jlt does
trouble Itself about Very final, things.
For every man's hotiso is his casllo.
Though It bo of thatched straw, and
though the wind may wldstle through it,
and the rain may enter, yet tho king can
not. So the rule was loid down by Sir
Edward Coko.
But many curious cases. have arisen re
garding the moaning of the word "entry"
and what constitutes a wrongful entry.
It has long been settled that the' officer
may not break open the outer door 'to
enter, but if tho outer door be open he
may break down on inner door.
So, also, tlio question-has arisen wheth
er It is a broaking In to open tho outer
door by lifting tho latch or drawing baiok
a sliding bar in tho ordinary way in
which persons entering a houso open a
door. In England it Is held that such on
entry is lawful and not a breaking Into .the
castle. In tho United States, however, tho
right'.of immunity fn one's own- houBe is
moro jealously "guarded', and' such an en
try is considered n breaking in and is
therefore unlawful. The raising of a
latch or pushing open a closed but un
fastened door, or any entry whatever
which has no relation to the license ex
press or implied, is unlawful.
Likewise in tho case of a window. If it
bo found open the officer may como in,
and If it be found to some extent open it
may for this purposo bo opened further;
but an entry may not be made by break
ing n pane or pushing in or raising a
window which is closed but not fastened,
even though it be hung on pulleys) nor,
for a stronger reason, when tho window
is fastened by a hasp.
Tho fiction undorlylng all these de
cisions is that if a man close his doors
and windows the law surrounds his homo
with an imaginary wall as safe for prac
tical pnniobes as that of n medlroval
cnptle.
Kzeeutlvna In Sliake.peare'a Time.
In old London, whenover sentence of
death by hanging was pronounced (for
there were many other death penalties
beside, some most blood curdllngly
dreadful), the place ,of execution was an
open field, Tybum, whero disorderly
masses assembled In tens of thousands
on hangman's day. Macaulay declares
that at the execution of Jonathan Wild
tho spectators numbered no leas than
two hundred thousand. It was a fete
occasion. Labor was suspended as much
as on any holiday.
Upon the gallows, then more particu
larly known as tho Tyburn tree (a thing
of many limbs), the corpses of malefac
tors were generally kept dangling in a
row, oxpoeed for months to the pitiless
play of the elements, swaying hither and
thither, while daws flocked In great
black clouds to peck at every exposed
morsel of carrion (men the wretched
things had ceased to be, mainly dying
"without benefit of clergy ). The gar
ments of tho dangling objects, torn to
faded shreds, flapped and snapped spec-tra-dlabolically
with every gust, whilo
the air around was rank with tho pene
trating stench of putrefaction.
Tho sight was grewsome, kept thus
obtrusive to every eye and disgusting to
overy nostril, until each poor corpse lit
erally blow to pieces sololy to terrorize
all persons, and warn tliom In dumb lan
guage of tho pungontest kind that tho
primordial difference between mourn and
tnum was a most important matter, must
bide world without end and be respected
always accordingly: that persons mubt
neither kill nor steal (over "the value
of a shilling"); that there must be

A "Blue Law" or Old Times.
In view of tho largo number of breach
of promiso cases which have boon brought
of late years the following extract from
an old statute of Now Jersey, passed in
colonial times and, it is said, still unre
pealed, which shows how our forefathers
viewed this question, is of interest:
"That all women, of whatever ago,
rank, profession or degree, whether vir
gins, maids or widows, who shall after
this act impose upon, soduce or betray
into matrimony any of his majesty's sub
jects by virtue of scents, cosmetics,
washes, paints, artificial tooth, false hair
or high heolcd shoes, shall incur tho pen
alty of tho law now In force against
witchcraft and like misdemeanors."
Hard on the Twelve,
Some years ago Hon. Henry W. Paine
defended a man in a capital cose which
was tried in the state of Maine. Tho de
fense was insanity, which was clearly
proved to the satisfaction of the court
and of every one else except tho jury,
who, to the astonishment of all, brought
In a verdict of "guilty."
After receiving the verdict, the pre
siding judge asked. Mr. Polno If bo iiad
any motion to make.
"Wot at present, your honor, 110 re
plied; "my client has had his constitu
tional rights: he has been tried by a jury
of his peers."
The verdict was afterwards sot aside.

the question of discount, and "Prompt

the bill is payable. By ordinary business
oustom cash bills may pin as long as

prompt payment is to bill the goods "C.

HEY are having a
stampede in Ken
tucky. Ple&aelookto
It. A. Lrtcotx.
This alarming
notice was tele
graphed by tho
president to Gen.
Hnlleck, com
manding the Un
ion forces In the
west, July 18, 180!.
On the same day
Gen. J. T. Boyle,
commanding the
Union forces In
tho stato of Ken
tucky, wired from
Inilsvllle to the
war department at
Washington this
startling news:
''The rebels undoubtedly have control of
telegraph all around us. There Is great
danger In Kentucky."
At that time the Confederate linos In the
west lay along northern Mississippi and
Alabama, with forces in observation nt
Chattanooga and Knoxvlllo, Tcnn. The
main Union army was around Corinth,
Miss., whero Halleck was, and a portion of
Halleck's force, under Gen. Buell, was
moving out along tho Tennessee river to
ward? Chattanooga.
But tho Confederate cavalryman, Mor
gan, was out on his first groat rido nnd his
errand wns to bring about the stato of
alarm Indicated In the dispatches of Presi
dent Lincoln and Gen. Boyle.
The Confederate troops In East Tennes
see were held In check by a Union force nt
at Cumberland Gap, the mountain pass to
Kentuoky, and the southern commander
could apAro only n small force for a demon
stration In the rear of Uuell. One column,
consisting of two regttnenU and two small
detachments, was placed under Morgan to
operate in Kentucky, and his success with
this small force was due to tho manipula
tion of the telegraph, which be found In
working order on his route. As neither ho
nor his compears were permitted to repeat
tbe exploit by the same unique methods tlio
case stands alone In annals of famous raids.
Morgan took with him aa telegraph opera
tor George A Ellsworth, of Mb command,
and after he struck the first blow, which
was at Tompklnsville, Ky July 8, four
days after he set out from Knoivtlle, Ells
worth tapped the wire between Louisville
and Nashville and learned from passing
dispatches that tho'Unlou authorities wero
alarmed and were putting tha railway ami
depot guards under orders. For tho pur
pose of confusing the enemy a bogus dis
patch, signed by the provost marshal nt
Nashville, was seat over the wires to the
provost marshal at Louisville announcing
that a Confederate column under Forro.it
was advancing on Nashville and that Mor
gan was hi that vicinity co-operating.
This was July 10, and Forrest was at the
time oporatlng against Murfreesboro; but
he had not taken It, and Morgan was then
over a hundred miles from that polut.
On the 12th Morgan captured Lebanon,
Ky., before daylight, and Ellsworth went
with the advance guard and seized tho tele
graph ofllce. Here he found a dispatch sent
the day previously from tho Union com
mander at Lebanon to Gen. Boyle at Louis
villo, stating that Lebanon was threatened
and calling for re-enforcements immedi
ately. He settled himself in tho operator's
chair and very soon he hoard the Instru
ment call B, which the books told him was
the signal for Lebanon. The following
conversation then took place between Ells
worth, Confederate, and n Union operator
at a station between Lebanon and Louis
ville:
To 11 (Lebanon): "Whatnewa? Anrmoreeklr
mlsulngl Z."
To Z (station unknown): "No; we drovo what
Mttle cavalry there was away. D."
To 1J: "lias tne train arrived yet? z."
ToZ: "No. About bow many troona on train!
B."
ToB: "About MO. Z."
There was but one railroad, a branch from
tho Louisville and Nashville, but the re
enforcements were evidently coming in an
swer to the call of the day previous, and tho
TArriNo ujfiox whies.
Important thing to Morgan, next to their
strength, was their location at the mo
ment. To ascertain the station signaled as
Z, Ellsworth adopted tho following clever
ruse, telegraphing to Ya
'A gentleman here beta tha cigars you cannot
apeii tno noma or your Biation correctly, 11. "
To H: "Take tho bet, L-e-b-a-n-o-n J-u-n-c-
l-l-oii. How did ho think I would spell ltf Z.
TaZ: "lie thought you would put two b'a In
Lebanon. B."
Ibnnon Junction was the point of Inter
section of the thirty miles of branch road
from the IjOUlBvllIo lino to Lebanon. Mor
gan Immediately sent out a party to burn
the bridge and destroy the track. After
some timo Ellsworth heard tho call of Le
banon again and received word from the
unsuspecting "Z" that the train of soldiers
had returned to tho junction. Thou, with
a little urging, "Z" sent forward for tho
Information of tho Union commander.
whom ho still supposed to be in control at
Lebanon, tho copy of a long dispatch sent
by the commander of tho ro-enforcement to
Gen. Boyle, This gave Morgan just the
news ho wanted, for he learned whero his
own ilctacliinont was and that the re-en
forcement was Indefinitely checked.
He now proceeded to scLte all tho Union
supplies in Lebanon, and after attending
to his own needs, n largo amount was
burned. Subsequently Ellsworth received
dispatches by way of "Z" at tho Junction
showing that Gen. lloyle did not know of
Morgan's capture of Lebanon. They
showed also that union troops from Louis
villa were on the road south In anticipa
tion of hla coming, and bo instead of going
to Louisville the raiders moved northeast,
striking the Louisville and Ioxlnirton rail
road between Frankfort and Lexington at
a station called Midway.
TRICKED AGAIN.
The command Touched Midway in the
ferenoon of the 18th. tho dnyof the great
alarm In Washington nnd nt Gen. Uoyle's
heademarters. Morgan was in tho heart of
Kentucky. Ellsworth entered tbotclegraph
ofllce at Midway, surprUtxl tbe operator
and made him prisoner, nnd nfter a few
words of professional condolence carelessly
asked him to call the Lexlngtou office and
get tho exact timo of day. This was a ruso
to, get thooperator'B style, and when he re
sponded Ellsworth found that ho was a
register operator, using paper to receive
answers. A little soaruh brought to light
a signal book giving all of the calls on
the line, nnd It appeared from dispatches
which pawl over tne wires that the towns
all about were alert for Morgan. On test
ing tlio wires the raider fouud that he
could wifely cut off tbe Frankfort office
and rocclvo nil Its business at Midway, In
a short time Lexiugtou asked Midway It It
would be safe to run a truln between those
stations. Tlio uuswer was:
"All rightl Come on. No rebels herel"
Following this came a military order
from the Union commander at Lexington,
leu. W , to his subordinate at Frank
fort, Gen. F , to movu all hit forces out
on the railroad and await orders at Mid
way, It was now necessary to deceive the
authorities, and give Mgrcon a cpance tcjpa
I
oirm one utrcctron wntre ins enemies were
massing troops In another direction. Ells
worth thou telegraphed to Union head
quarters at Lexington that tho raiders had
pawed by Midway toward Frankfort.
It was necessary to confirm this letter by
a bogus dl.patch from Frankfort, but Ells
worth did not know tho rules of charges
and could not risk a formal mossago for
fear of making a fatal mistake. He waited
sometlmo until the wires wero occupied by
through messages, nnd then broke In In
great excitement, calling frantically for
Islington. He got tho circuit, of course,
and dispatched word to the Union com
mander nt Lexington that Morgan was be
fore Frankfort nnd had driven in tho Union
j pickets. Hating the Frankfort signal lis
signed it and ran the wire Into the ground,
I so that Iiexlngton could not call Frankfort
again nnd detect the fraud.
The command thou moved on toward
I Lexington, reaching Georgetown at night.
1 Ellsworth seized the telegraph ofllce. found
the Instruments removed, put In his own,
nnd called Lexington. Morgan had de
cided to scare I!Xliigton and rido around
, It, north, bo as to cross tho lino at Paris and
1 get out of the state. Ho was within sixty
. miles of Cincinnati. Ellsworth said to Lex
I lngtont "Keep mum, I am In the office
reading by tho sound of my magnet in the
I dark. Morgan's men are here. I crawled
In when no one saw me."
I To this he signed the Georgetown signal
obtained at Midway, and received the an
swer. "Keen cool. Don't be discovered.
1 How ninny rebels are there?"
A SWAP.
Softly and mysteriously sped the answer
back, so cleverly worded that It reads llko
the breathless whisper of a man In terror:
"I don't know. I dia not notice. As
Morgan's operator was asking me about
my Instruments, I told him I sent them to
Lexington."
Cincinnati now broke In and called
Georgetown, asking if the "rebels" wore
there. Ellsworth answered:
"Yes, Morgan's men nre here," repeating
bis story of working in the dark.
1 lie raiders remained two davs In George
town waiting for tho scheme to mature
nnd draw all the attention of the Union
commanders toward Lexington. When tho
command was ready to move off tho regu
lar operator, who was under guard, pro
posed to Ellsworth that his telegraph In
struments, which bad all tno time beon
Bklllfully hidden near at hand, should bo
taken by the Confederates ns his ransom.
"I agree to that," said tho raider. "Tele
graph Instruments are of more value to the
Southern Confederacy than Yankee operat
ors." The exchange was made.
Morgan now rode north, avoldlnt; Lex
ington altogether. Every effort was mado
by the authorities at a distance to havo
him attacked at or near Lexington. A new
general was sent out by Gen. Iloylo to take
command, and passing through Frankfort
ho reached Lexington tho day Morgan
passed north of it towards Cynthlana, be
tween Lexington and Cincinnati. Ells-
orth found all the offices ou tho line dis
mantled and tho wires out ot order.
After taking Cynthlana and Paris (a
town half way between Cynthlana and
Lexington), the raiders made a detour arid
passed around Lexington to the south,
reaching a place called Crab Orchard on
the 21st. Tho telegraph ran along the road
toward Somerset, where Morgan, as his
enemies know, would naturally turn to ro-
cross Cumberland river, Ellsworth tapped
tho wire, and soon heard a message from
Gen. Boylo to hla subordinate at Danville,
saying, "Pursue Morgan. Ho Is at Crab
Orchard, going to bomereot."
It was 11 o'clock a. m. Danville is about
forty miles north of Somerset, and Crab
Orchard about twenty-eight miles north
east. The raiders, therefore, had twelve
miles start by this timely wnrning and
dashed off, reaching Somorset at sundown.
Tho Somerset offlco was in lino working or
der, but the operator ill charge had just como
up from the London office, and tno raider
nad no trouble in personating n "green
nana." me nrst message was irom Stan
ford, near Danville, and was an Inquiry
about Morgan. Ellsworth answered that
there wero no signs of him at Somerset,
and learned from Danville and Louisville
via Stanford that tho pursuers ordered out
from Danville at 11 o'clock In the dav had
reported back to Gen. Boyle that Morgau
was too strong to 00 niiacicou.
ltestlnn Bocuro on this Information Mor-
?;an telegraphed to tho offices at Lexlug
ou, Danville, Lebanon nnd other points,
countermanding, in tho name of Gen.
liovlo. all tne orders for bis pursuit. Tho
whole command then took n nlirht's rest.
and In tho morning, July KJ, started.
well refreshed, for East Tennessee. Uo
