The American consulate is on Shamin
{(Shameeh, as pronounced), an island in the
midst of the Canton of industry and spread-
ing population, which extends on both sides
for mils along the Pearl river. Consul Sey-
mour was for several years editor and pro-
prietos of The LaCrosse Republican. For
the last three yenrs he has been a favorite,
constant friend and official protector of every
American in or Canton. He has the
respect of the Chinese, a sensitive and touchy
people. He came one Monday morning, with
godan chairs aud a guotum of chair-bearers,
who wore nsalate aniform. He brought

Poorest Sticks on the Cruise.
Often at Annapolis those cadets making
the highest percentage in their classes are the
poorest kind of sticks on the cruise, The bad
affocts of the forcing process at Annapolis
have been shown in a startling manner lately,
One of the most prominent naval surgeons ig
the country mentioned that somo time ago be

the naval academy on his hands, all suffering
from some form of anemia. “Fine young fol

When Gen. Early made his great raid on
Washington I was scouting between his ads
vance and the city, and was captured within
the city limits twenty-four hours before his
battle-flags appeared in sight. I was dressed
in citizen's clothes, pretended to be deaf and
dumb, and claimed to have been driven out of
Richmond, because I had written threatening
jetters to Jefferson Davis,
I had een inside the fortifications for half
a day, and was slowly walking out, when a
couple of young men, both of whom were con-
siderably the worse for liquor, halted me and
wanted to fight, 1 had a pencil and a block
of paper with me, and I wrote:

Among the many symptoms
of Dyspepsia or indigestion
the most prominent are: Vas
riable appetite; faint, gnawing
feeling at pit of the stomach,
with unsatisfied craving for
food: heartburn, feeling of
weight and wind in the stom-
ach, bad breath, bad taste in
the mouth, low spirits, general
prostration, headache, and
constipation. There is no form
of disease more prevalent than
Dyspepsia, and none so pecul-
far to the high-living and rap-
jd-eating American people.
