VSj-" . fTmwr 10 regiment or some of the regiments Jn garri son, or by the Navy. That is generally the rule, though perhaps in some regiments it is not so strictly adhered to as with us." "Then I consider that it is "a fraud upon upon the public, Captain Uervyn. Gentle men's dress is so dingy and monotonous that I consider it distinctly the duty of.sol diers to give us a little light and color when thev get the chance." "Very well. Miss Blackmoor, I will bear it in mind; and next time my mother gives a ball, the regiment, if it is within reach, shall come in uniform. By the way. do you know who is the man my cousin is dancing with? There are lots of faces I don't know here; being seven or eight years away makes a difference in a quiet country place." "That is Mr. Gnlston. He is First Lieu tenant of the flagship at Plymouth. I know it because he was introduced to me early in tile evening, and e danced to gether, nnd a capital dancer he i, too." "He is an uncommonly good-looking fel low," Ronald said. Hargaret Carne seemed to think so too, as she danced w ith him two or three times in the course of the evening, and went down to supper on his arm. Bonald having, as the son of the house, to divide his attentions as much as possible, did not dance with his cousin. Lieutenaut Gulstou had been accompanied by the third lieutenant and by the doctor, who never missed an opportunity of going to a ball be cause, as he said, it gave him au opportuni ty of studying character. " "You see," he would argue, "on board a ship one nets only the one side of human na ture. Sailors may differ a bit one irom an other, but they can all be divided into two or three classes the steady honest fellow who tries to do his work well; the reckless fellow who is ready to do his work.but is up to every sort of mischief and devilment, and the lazy, loafing fellow who neglects his duty whenever he possibly cau, and is al ways shamming sick in order to get off it. Some day or other I shall settle on shore and practice there, and I want to learn something about the people I shall have to deal with; besides, there's nothing more amusing than looking on at a ball when you have no ilea oi dancing yourself. It's astonishing what a lot of human nature you see if you do but keep your wits about you." In the course of the evening he ameup to the first lieutenant. "Who is that man you have just been talking to, Gulston? I hRve been watch ing him for some time. He has not been dancing, but nas been standing in corners looking on." , "He is Mr. Carne, doctor; a cousin, or ratner a nephew, of our hostess." "Is he the brother of that pretty girl you have been dancing with?" Theieutenant nodded. "Then I am sorry for her," the surgeon said, bluntly. "Sorry what for?" The surgeon answered by another ques tion. "Do vou kaow anything about the family, Gulston?" "I have heard about them. "Why?" "Never mind now," the surgeon said. "I will tell you in the morning; it's hardly a. question to discuss nere, ana ne turnea away before the lieutenant could ask far ther. It was 4 o'clock before the dancing ceased and the last carriage rolled away. Then the military and naval men, and two or three visitors from Plymouth, gathered in the library, and smoked and talked foran hour, and were then conveyed to the station to catch an early train. The next day, as they were walking up and down the quarter deck, the first lieutenant said: "By the way, doctor, what was it you -were going to say last night about the Carnes? You said you were sorry for Miss Carne, and asked me-if I knew anything about the history of the family." "Yes, that was it, Gulston; it wasn't the sort of thing to talk about there, especially as I understand the Mervyns are connec 'lions ot the Carnes. The question I was going to ask you was this.: You know their family history; is there any insanity in it?" The lieutenant stopped suddenly in his walk with an exclamation of surprise and pain. "What do you mean, Mackenzie? Why do you ask such a question?" "You have not answered mine. Is there insanity in the blood?" "There has been," the Lieutenant said, reluctantly. "1 felt sure of it I think you have heard me say my lather made a special studr of madness; and when I was studying lor my profession I have often accompanied him to lunatic asylums, and I devoted a great deal of time to th subject, intending to make it my special launch also. Then the rambling fit seized me and I entered the service; but I have never missed following the subject up whenever I have had an opportunity. I have therefore visited asylums for lunatics wherever such existed at "every port which we have put into since I have been in the service "When my eye first fell upon Mr. Carne he was standing behind several other peo ple, watching the dancing, and the expres sion of his face struck me as soon as my eye fell upon him. 1 watched him closely all through the evening. He did not dance, and rarely spoke to anyone, never unless addressed. I watched his lace and bis hands hands are, I can tell you, almost as expressive as faces and I have not the smallest hesitation in saying that the man is mad. It is possible, but not probable, that at ordinary times he may show no signs of it, but at times, and last night was one of those times, the man is mad; nay, more, I should be inclined to think that his mad ness is of a dangerous type. "Now that you tell me it is hereditary, I am to lar confirmed in my opinion that I should not hesitate, if called upon to do so, to sign a certificate to the effect that, iu my opinion, he was so far iusane as to need the most careful watching, if not absolute con finement," The color had faded from the lieutenant's face as the doctor spoke. 'I am awfully sorry," he said, in a low tone, "and I trust to God, doctor, that you are mistaken. I cannot but think that you are. I was introduced to him by his sister, and he was most civil and polite, indeed more than civil, for he asked me if I was fond ot shooting, and when I said that I was extremely so, he invited me over to his place. He said lie did not shoot himself, but that next week his cousin Mervyn and one or two others were coming to 'him to have two or three days' pheasant shootin?, and he would be glad if I would join the party; and, as you may suppose, I gladly accepted the invitation." "Well," the doctor said, dryly, "so far as he is concerned, there is no danger in your doing so, if, as you say, he doesn't shoot. If he did, I should advise you to stay away; and in any case, if you will take the advice which I offer, you won't go. You will send au excuse." The lieutenant made no , answer for a minute or two, but paced the room in silence. "I won't pretend to misunderstand you, Mackenzie. You mean there's no danger with hiqb but you think there may be from her. TnM's what yon mean, isn't it?" The ddetor nodded. "I saw you were taken with her, Gulston; that is why I have spoken to you about her brother." "You dotft think confound it. man you can'l think," the lieutenant said an grily, " that there is anything the matter with her." '2o, I don't think so," the doctor said gravely. "No, I should say certainly not; but you know in these case where it is in the blood it sometimes lies dormant -for a eneration and then breaks out again. I 'led somebody casually last night about ir father, and he said that he was a tal fellow and most popular in the y; so it it is in the blood it passed over id is showing itself again in the son. pass over the daughter and reap er children. You never know, you you mind telling me what you the family?" not at present. I will at some Tou have given me a shock, 'kit over." xlded.and commenced to turned into the cabin. - Dr. Mackenzie shook hit head. v "The lad is hard bit," he c&id, "and I am sorry for bim. I hope my warning comes in time; it would do if he isn't a fool, but all young men are fools where the women are concerned. I will say for him that he has more sense than most, but I would give a good deal if this had not happened," Lieutenant Gulston was, indeed, hard bit; he had been much struck with the momen tary glance he had obtained of Margaret Carne as he stood on the steps of the Carne Arms, and the effect had been greatly heightened on the previous day. Lieuten ant Gulston had, since the days when be was a middy, indulged in many a flirtation, but he had never before felt serious. He had olten laughed at the impressibility of his comrades, and bad scoffed at the idea of love at first sight, but now that he had be gun to think matters seriously over, the pain that the doctor's remarks 'had given him opened his eves to the fact that it was a good deal more than a passing fancy. . Thinking it over in every light, he acknowledged the prudent course would be to send some excuse to her brother, it ith an expression of regret that he found that a matter of duty would prevent his coming over, as he bad promised, for the shooting. Then he told himself that alter all the doc tor might be mistaken, and that it would be only right that he should judge for himself. If there was anything in it, of course he should go no more to The Hold, and no harm would be done. Margaret was cer tainly very charming; she was more than charming, she as the mo$t lovable woman he.bad ever met. Still, ot course, if there was any chance of herinheritlng this dread ful thing, he would see her no more. After all, no more harm could be done in a couple of days than had been done already, and he was not such a fool but that he could draw back in time. And so after changing his mind half a dozen times, he resolved to go over for the shooting. "Butb, I want to speak to you serious ly," Margaret Carne taid to her maid two days after the ball. Ruth Powlett was the miller's daughter, and the village gossips had been greatly surprised when, a year be fore, they heard that she was going up to The Hold to be Miss Carne's own maid; for although the old mill was a small one, and did no more than a local business, Hiram was accounted to.havelaid by a snug penny, and as Buth wos'his only child she was gen erally regarded as the richest heiress in Carnesford. That Hiram should let her go into service, even as maid to Miss Carne at The Hold, struck everyone with surprise. It was generally assumed that the step had been taken because Hiram Powlett wanted peace in the bouse. He had, after the death of his first wife, Ruth's mother, married again, and the general verdict was that he had made a mistake. In the first place, Hiram was a stanch Churchman, and one of the church wardens at Carnesford; but his wife, who was a Dareport woman and that alone was in the opinion of carnesford greatly against her was a Dissenter, and attended the little chapel at Dareport, and entertained the strongest views as to the prospects and chances ot her neighbors in a future state; and in the second place, per haps in consequence of their religious opinions, she was generally on bad terms with all her neighbors. Bnt when Hiram married her she had a good figure, the lines oi her face had not hardened as they afterward did, and he had persuaded himself that she would make an excellent mother for Buth. Indeed she had not been intentionally unkiud, and al though she had brought her up strictly, she believed that she had thoroughly done her duty; lamenting only that her efforts had been thwarted by the obstinacy and perverse ness of her husband in insisting that the little maid should trot to church by his side instead of going with her to the chapel at Dareport. Buth had grown up a quiet and somewhat serious girl; she had -blossomed out into prettiness in the old mill, and folks in the village were divided as whether she or Lucy Carey, the smith's daughter, was the pret tiest girl in Carnesford. Not that there was any other matter in comparison between them, for Lucy was somewhat gay and flirty, and had a dozen avowed admirers; while Buth had from her childhood made nosecrct of her preference for George Forester, the son of the little farmer whose land came down to the Dare just where Hiram Pow lett's mill stood. He was some five years olderthan she was, and had fished her out of the mill-stream when she fell into it when she was 8 years old. Prom that time he had been her hero. She had been content to follow bim about Jike a dog, to sit by his side for hours while he fished iu the deep pool above the mill, under the shadow of the trees, quite content with an occasional word or notice. She took his part heartily when her step mother denounced turn as the idlest and most impertinent boy in the parish; and when, soon after she was fifteen, be one day mentioned that, as a matter of course, she would same day be his wife, she accepted it as a thing oi which she had never enter tained any doubt whatever. But Hiram now took the alarm, and one day told her that she was to give up consort ing with young Forester. "You are no longer a child, Buth, and if you go on meeting young Forester down et the pool pedple will be beginning to "talk. Of course, I know that you are a good girl and would never for a moment think of taking up with George Forester. Everyone knows what sort of joung fellow he is; he never does a day's work oi the farm, and he is in and out of the Carne Arms at all hours. He associates with' the worst lot in the village,, and it was only the other day that when the parson tried to speak to him serionsly be answerei him in a way that was enough to make one's hair stand on end." Buth obeyed her father, and was no more seen about with George Forester, but she believed no tale to his disadvantage, and, when at times she met with him accidental ly she told him frauklv enough that though her father didn't like her going about with him, she loved him and meant to love him always, whatever they might say. Upon all other points her lather's will was law to Her, but upon Ibis she was firm, and two years afterward, when some words yonng Forester had spoken at a public house about his daughter came to bis ears, Hiram renewed the subject to her, she answered stanchly that unless be gave' his consent she would not marry George Forester, but that nothing would make her give him up or go back from her word. For once Hiram Powlett and his wife were thoroughly in accord. The former seldom spoke upon the subject, but the latter was not so retlceut. and every misdeed of vountr Forester was severely commented upon by her in Ruth's hearing. Buth seldom an swered, bnt her Either saw that she suffered, and more than once remonstrated with his wife on what he called her cruelty, but found that as usual Hesba was not to be turned irom her course. "No," Hiram Powlett," she said, shutting her lips tightly together; "I must do my duty whether vou like it or not, and it is my duty to see that Buth does not throw away her happiness in this world or the next by her-headstrong conduct. She docs not belong to the fold, bnt in other respects I will do her credit to say that she is a good girl and does her duty as well as can be ex pected, considering the dullness of the light she has within her; but if she were to marry this reprobate she would be lost body and soul; and whatever you mav think of the matter, Hiram Powlett, I will not hold 1 .L - nit ' my peace in me mailer. "I am quite as determined as you are, Hesba, that the child shall not marry this young rascal, but I don't think it does any good to be always nagging at her. Women are queer creatures; the more you want them to go one way the more thev will go the other." But though Hiram Powlett did not say much, he worried greatly. Ruth had al ways been quiet, bnt she was quieter than ever now and her checks gradually lost their roses and she looked pale and thin. At last Hiram determined that it he could not obtain peace for her at home be would elsewhere, and hearing that Miss Carne's maid was going to be married, hedetermined to try to get Buth the place. She would be -free'irom Hcsba's tongue"there, and would have other thingstothink about besidesJieti THE PITTSBURG' of approaching the subject to her, and was surprised and pleased to find that when he did, Instead of opposing it as he had ex pected, she almost eagerly embraced the pro posal. In fact, Buth'f pale cheeks and changed appearance were not due, as her father sup posed, to unhappiness at her stepmother's talk against George Forester; but because in spite or herself she began to feel that her accusations were not without foundation. Little by little she learned, from chance words dropped bv others, that the light in which her father held George Forester was that generally entertained in the village. She knew that he had quarreled with his father, and that after one of their alterca tions he had gone off to Plymouth and en listed, only to be bought out by his father four days afterward. She knew that be drank, and had taken part in several serious frays that had arisen at the little beershop in the village; and hard as she fought against the conviction, it was steadily making its way, that her lover was wholly unw'orthy of her. And yet, in spite of His faults, she loved him. Whatever he was with others, he was gentte and pleasant with her, and she felt that were she to give him up his last chance would be gone. So she was glad to get away from the village for a time, and to the surprise of the father and the furious anger of George Forester, she applied for and obtained the post ot Margaret Carne's maid. She had few opportunities of seeing George Forester now; bnt what she heard when she went down to the village on Sun days was not encouraging. He drank harder than before, and spent nueh of his timdown at Dareport, and, as some said, was connected with a rough lot there who were fonder of poaching than of fish ing. Margaret Carne was, aware of what she considered Buth's infatuation. She kept hprself well informed of the affairs of the village the greater portion of which be longed to her father and her brother and she learnt frora the clergyman, whose right hand she was in the choir and schools, a good deal of the village gossip. She had never spoken to Buth on the subject during the nine months she had been with her, but now she felt she was bound to speak. "What is it, Miss Margaret?" Buth said quietly in answer to her remark. . "I don't want to vex you, and you will say it is no business of mine, but I think it is, for you know I like you very much, be sides your belonging to Carnesford. Of course I have heard everyone has heard, you know about your engagement to young Forester. Now a very painful thing has happened. t On the night ot the dance our gamekeepers came across a party of poach ers in the woods, as of course you ' have beard, and had a fight with them, and one ot the keepers is so badly hurt that they don't think be will live. He has sworn that the man who stabbed him was George Forester, and my brother, as a magistrate, has just signed a warrant for his arrest. "Now, Both, surely this man is not worthy of you. He bears, I hear, on all sides a very bad character, and I think you will be more than risking your happiness with such a man; I think for your own sake it would be better to give him up. My brother is very incensed against him; he has been out with the other keepers to the place where this fray occurred, and he says it was a most cowardly business, for the poachers were eight to three, and he seems to have no doubt whatever that Forester was one of the party, and that they will be able to prove it. I do think, Butb, you ought to give him up altogether. I am not talking to you as a mistress, you know, but as a friend." "I think you are right, Miss Margaret," the girl said, in a low voice. "I have been thinking it over in everyway. At first I didn't think what they said was true, and then I thought that perhaps, I might be able to keep him right, and that ir I were to give him up there would be no chance for him. I have tried very hard to see what was my duty, but I think now that I seeTt. and that I must break off with him. But ohl it is so hard," she added, with a quiver in her voice, "for though I know that I oughtn't to love him, I can't hflp it." "I cau quite understand that, Entb," Margaret Came agreed. "I know if I loved anyone I should not give him up merely be cause everybody spoke ill of him. But, you see, itis'diftenjnt now. It is not merely a suspicion, it is almost absolute proof; and besides, you must know that he spends most of his time in the public bouse, and that he never would make a good husband." "I have known that a long time," Buth said, quietly; "but I have hoped alwayR that he might change if I married him. I am afraid I can't hope any longer, and I have been thinking for some time that I should have to give him up. I will tell him so now, if I have au opportunity." "I don't suppose you will, for my brother says he has not been home since the affair in the wood. If be has, he went away again at once. I expect he has made either for Plymouth or London, for he must know that the police would be alter him for his share in this business. I am very sorry for it, Buth, but I do think you willbchappier when you have once made up your mind to break with him. No good could possibly come Irom your sacrificing yourself." Buth said no more on' the subject, but went about her work as quietly and orderly as usual, and Margaret Carne was surprised to see how bravely she held up, for she knew that she mnst be suffering greatly.

The Schooner Mattie Win ship, which was seized by the Canadian cutter Vigilant for alleged violation of the fishing laws, arrived home to-day. The vessel is under 53,000 bonds. Captain Erickson's statement does not differ materially from the accounts published at the time of the seizure. He insists that he was within the three-mile limit for shelter on the land and was not fishing. The Census Will Show Less Dcnfnesn. Washington, June 21.

Magistrate Brokaw in' a Muss Concerning a Prisoner's Release. RETURNING BOARD'S OFFICIAL COUNT Judge Acheson, in the United States Court yesterday, concluded the case of A. F. Linton and wife against the Hon. J. B. Neale, of Kittanning. Mrs. Linton was the granddaughter of J. E. Brown, the millionaire banker and oil inspector of Kittanning. Upon the death of herparents, Judge Neale was appointed her guardian, and had chargejof the money which she in herited from her grandfather. Upon her marriage to Mr. Linton, a dispute arose as to the amount of money to be paid over. The case was taken into court and was re ferred to D. D. Bruce, Esq., as Master. Exceptions to his report were taken. In his decision yesterday Judge Acheson sustained the report in all but two points. He Heckled that Judge Neale still has $2,87(3 50 belonging to Mrs. Linton, and changed the Master's allotment of $3,000 to the guardian for services to $1,000. The costs are to be paid by Judge Neale out of the money in his hands, and the balance paid to Mrs. Linton. William McConville was tried in the Criminal Court yesterday for assault and battery on Police Office S. N. McCurry, of the Thirty-sixth ward. He was found not guilty, and the costs were placed on In spector McKelvey, the prosecutor. Edward McConville had beeu jointly indicted with William McConville, but did not put in his appearance when the case was called. It was ascertained that Police Magistrate Brokaw. who sent the case to Court, had committed Edward McConville to jail on June 11, in default of ball for Court. On June 13 the magistrate had McConville released from jail. No bond or recognizance has been returned to Court for JlcOonville'a appearance. When this was learned, on motion of District Attorney Porter, Judge Stowe issued a rule on Magistrate Brokaw to show cause why he issued the release for McConville. The role was made returnable 21 hours from notice. The jury is out in the case of William Des mond, tried for aggravated assault and battery on J. C. Mellor. John McKeever and Martin Lally, tried for aggravated assault and battery on Louis Bruehunter, were found guilty of assault and battery. The jury is out in the case of Arthur Kfllen, tried tor assault and battery on K. Soloman, the manager of Gnsky's store. COMPLETE AND OFFICIAL.

A snlt which Is rather more amusing than serious was begun by the city yesterday against the -Pi est newspaper to enjoin It from exhibit ing a new patent device by which the progress of afternoon baseball games was shown on a blackboard in front of our evening contem porary's office. The blocking of the sidewalk by spectators was the basis for the complaint, and Common Pleas No. 2 issued a preliminary injunction returnab e to-morrow. The in jnncted newspaper, however, took the proceed ing's with uncommon good humor in its Issue of yesterday, and announced that, while it ranked the move of the city authorities against it with the persecution of Galileo, the im prisonment of Columbusand other such official depreciation of new and valuable scientific discoveries, it still does not propose to Incite popular disturbance by continuing its new ap paratus for bulletins. In view of this the liti gation will probably cease to-day. Llttlo Jags of Justice. To-dat's trial list will embrace, in the Crim inal Court : Commonwealth vs M.

Rheumatism, BEING due to the presence of uric acid in the blood, is most effectually cured by the use o Ayer's Sarsapa rllla. Be sure you get Ayer's and no other, and take it till the poisonous acid is thoroughly expelled from tbe system. We challenge attention to this testimony: "About two years ago, after suffering for nearly two years from rheumatic pout, being able to walk only with great discomfort, and having tried various remedies, including mineral waters, without relief, I saw by an advertise ment in a Chicago paper that a man had been relieved of this distressing com plaint, after long suffering, by taking Ayer's Samparilla. I then decided to make a trial of this medicine, and took it regularly for eight months, and am pleased to state that it has effected a complete cure. I have since had no re turn of the disease." Mrs. B. Irving Dodge, 110 West 125th St., New York. " One year ago I was taken ill with inflammatory rheumatism, being con fined to my house six months.

"Just put it down and describe it as I give it to you," said Mr. Huffman. "Though it's passed now, there is not any thing I have forgotten about it. Meu don't forget such things." Mr. Kobert W. Huffman resides at 163 Jackson street, Allegheny. The descrip tion which he furnishes is worthy of special note, as those who read the following through to the end will agree: "It was my head that first began to trouble me," he said. "31 v nostrils would clog up, first on one side and then on the other. Sometimes they would be sore and sensitive ou the inside. At times there would be a discharge. I could feel "the niucns drop back into my throat. Across my orehpd and over my eyes there wa3 a dull, heavy feeling. This continued all the time, never leaving me a moment. It was not exactly a heud.iche. It was just a dull, dreary pain. A miserable feeling that came from my nose and head being all stuffed up, I can't de scribe it any other way. "My throat would become filled up with mucus. Something seemed to stick there that could not get up nor down, though I would hack and couch in trying to dislodge it, I would keep swallowing, though there would something always remain that I could not seem to swallow. My throat was sdre and raw. In later years I had great difficulty in breathing. Seemed as if there was not room to get the air into my lungs. When I drew ray breath it was accompanied bv a wheezing sound. At bight I had a cfioked up and smothered sensation. Mr. Robert W. Huffmann, 163 Jackson Slree1 ' Allegheny. "I would catch cold without any apparent cause. A continual backing cough set in which, try as I would, I could not get rid of. "Alter a time sharp pains sticking like a knife would take me in the region of the heart, sometimes so severe as to almost take away my breatb. The slightest exertion put me out of breath. Frequently without apparent cause I would have palpitation of the heart. My heart would beat very fast. This would be followed by a slow, irregular beating, sometimes accompanied by dizzi ness. "I would sleep well at night, but when I got up would feel tired nnd unrefreshed as if I had not had any sleep. I bad no ap petite for breakfast. There would be a bad taste in my mouth. I would feel hungry but could not eat, the sight and smell of food seemed to sicken me. My stomach was out of order. After eating there would be a dull, heavy feeling in my stomach. I lost steadily In strength nnd weight. I tried almost everything but without getting any re lief. "My condition when I went to Drs. Copeland ana Blair uasas I have described it. Under their treatment I improved steadily from tbe start. My head and throat became dear. The pains in my chest, palpitation of the heart and the tired feeling m tbe morning, all passed away. My cough has disappeared. I sleep well and eat well. I have no more bcadache, and feel quite like another person. My friends noticed my Improvement every day. 1 am elad to witness in this what Drs. Copeland and Blair have done for me." Mr. Huffman lives, as stated, at 163 Jackson street, Allegheny. He Is engaged tn the Alle gheny Market, at McUnde's Restaurant. His statement can easily be verified. VERY PLAIN TALK, Conlaln'ng Truth With Which Evsryone Should Become Familiar. When catarrh has existed in the bead and upper parts of the throat for any length of timer tbe patient living in a district where people are subject to catarrhal affection, and the disease has been le't uncured, the ca tarrh invariably, sometimes slowly, extends down the windpipe and into the bronchial tubes, which tubes convey the air into the different parts of the lungs. The tabes be come affected from tbe swelling and the mucus arising from catarrh, and in some instances become plugged up so that the air cauuot get in as freely as it should. Shortness of breath follows, and the patient breathes with labor and difficulty. In other cases there is a sound of crack ing and wheezing inside the chest. At this stage of the' disease the breathing is usually more rapid than when iu health. TJie patient has also hot flashes over his body. The pain which accompanies this condi tion is ot a dull character, felt in the chest, behind the breast bone or under the shoul der blade. Tiie pain may come and go last a few days and then be absent for sev eral others. "The cough that occurs in the first stages of bronchial catarrh is dry, comes at intervals, is backing in character, and usually most troublesome in the morning on arisiugoron going to bed at night, and it may be the first evidence of the disease ex tending in the lungs. At first there may be nothing brought up by the cough; then there is a little tough, tenacious mucus, which thj patient finds great difficulty in bringing up. Sometimes there are fits ot coughing in duced by the tough mucus so violent as to cause vomiting. Later on tbe mucus that is raised is found to contain some particles of yellow matter, which indicates that the small tubes In the lungs arc nowatrectcd. With this there are often streaks of blood mixed with the mucus. Iu some cases the patient becomes very pale, has fever and expectorates before any cough appears. In some cases small masses of cbeesey sub stance arc spit up, which, when pressed be tween the lingers, emit a had odor: in other cases, particles of a hard, chalky nature are spit up. Tbe raising of cheesey or chalky lumps indicates serious niichlef at work in tbi lungs. In some cases catarrab will extend into tho lungs in a few weeks; In other cases It may be months, and even vears, before, the disease at tacks the lungs sufficiently to cause serious in terference with the general health. When the diseaso has developed to such a point tbeua tlenfis bald to have catarrhal consumption. With bronchial catarrah there Is mure or less fever, which aiffers-with the different parts of the day slight in tho morning, higher in the afternoon and evening.
