Yankee Enterprise Needed. ( Taken as a whole, Central America offers a fair ileld for foreign enter prise. l3v young men of self-denying and sober liablts, possessing a capital of from $5,000 and a tolerable knowl edge of the Spanish language, success either in commerce, agriculture or mining may be confidently counted upon, but they must avoid ail Inter ference in local politics. In these, as In ull other countries, the foreigner whose character and mode of life com mand respect will very seldom, if ever, suffer molestation at the hands of the authorities. The Nicaragua canal, if once commenced in earnest, will open up the almost inexhaustible resources of that republic, and the en gineering works alone will offer lucra tive employment to thousands of for eigners. Its physical difficulties are Insignificant compared with those which Lesseps never overcame on the Isthmus of Panama; and, perhaps, the greatest obstacle to contend with is the silting of the alluvial deposits at the mouth of the San Juan river, the Atlantic entrance to the cnnal. Its whole length will be 194 English miles, 110 of which are included in the great lake of Nicaragua, 134 feet above sea level, whose total superficial area is 8,0(38 English square miles. A short cutting will connect this lake with that of Managua, 156 feet above sea level, with a superficial area of GOO English square miles, being 50 miles long and 25 miles broad, with an aver ago depth of five fathoms. ltoiiiul the IleAitlmtono*.

He carried hi 4 years well, nnd although possessed of a naturally kind neart, was at time 3 subject to violent attacks of cho'cr, during which periods of temporary iusanity ho would neither reason himself nor listen to tho rea soning ot others. He married, late in li r e, a very esti mable lady, and had one daughter—a beautiful and accomplished girl —who, at the timo of which 1 write, was just budding into womanhood. The squire's wife had died four years previous, and since that time his house hold afiaiv3 had been managed by hi* only unmarried sister, a lady of un certain age, spare figure and vinegary temper. The gquiro—albeit all peoplo and all things wero usually subservient to his will—had a mortal dread of bis spinster sister, and a wholesome re spect ior her sharp tongu-. She had absolute control of house hold matter.- 1 , and as the squire never interfered with her arrangement?, the pair got a'ong very uicoly together. Eorli loved tho beautiful girl who had grown up to womanhood under their eye?, aud tho heart of the old squire could always be approached through Nellie, who was tho imago of her dead mother. Tho daughter r.nl her aunt —who rejoiced iu tho name of Dorothea Longacre—never quarrel#!, and taken altogether, tho Longaore household machine moved smoothly. The Lougacres' nearest neighbor was Colonel Anson Sliorfcrood, who at oneqesriod of his life rode at the head of a valiant regiment of militia. Tho colonel was 11 widower of long standing, his excellent spouse having departed this life several yeai-3 ago, leaving to him, as a legacy, a boy, now grown into manhood, who was named Anson, junior, after his father, and who was a model of industry and eooriety. The colonel's household goddess was a buxom widow, Mrs. Abigail Sloan, who was related to tho head of tho bou-chold by marriage, being tho only sister of his late consort. The colonel was fifty-live or there about?, was tall, angular and bony, and disposed to be unrelenting uud unyielding in disposition. Tho colonel and tho squire had lived neighbors for thirty years, aud up to about six months previous to the occurrence L am about to describe, were warm friends. They fell out over a trifiing matter. Tho colonel owned a line flock of merino sheep, of which ho was very proud. The squire was the possessor of a largo mastiff dog, of whoso in telligence and good qualities ho was always boasting. Ono night uu animal, supposed to be a sheep-killing dog, broke into tho colonel's fold, killed a valuable buck and mangled several ewe?. When the doughty military chief tain discovered his loss he was furious, and stormed in true soldierly style. "What dog could have done it?" inquired tho ton, who nad been at tracted to the spot by bis lather's storm of word?. "Why, that cur of Squire Long acre's," bawled his father. "Ho shall pay me heavy damages, or I'll have tho law ou him." "/ don't think—" began tho son. "'.Veil, don't think, then !" hollowed his father. "I'll do tho thinking." "But—" "Shut up!" roared tho colonel, frotliiug at ' ho mouth jAnd young Anson was silent. Tho colonel hurried back fo the house for his cane, aud in a few min utes was striding across tho field in tho direction of Squire Longacrc's mansion. "What's the matter with your lather;" asktd buxom Mis tied s Bloan, as young Anson entered the kitchen, whero she was at work, shortly after tiio departure of his sire. "He's got one of his mad spells on," was the answer. "That'e plain to bo sgcd," sniffed the widow. "But what, in goodness name, has brought it on?" "A dog broko into the fold last . night, killed a fine buck, and crippled several ewes." "For pity's sake! Well, I never! That's enough to make a man mad! Whoso dog was it?" "Ho thinks it wa3 Squire Long acre's." "Not Bruno?" "I bolievo ho has only ono dog." "Well, 1 for one, don't think Bruno will kjll I know 110 will not, and the squire is too neighborly and too wise a man to quarrel with, juifc on a suspicion like that." "They'll quarrel, thought," said youug Au?on. "Father has gone over there, mad, and tho first word ho ut ters will start the squire." i "It's a great pity," commended Mr?. Bloan. "That's what I say," assented An son. And he walked through the kitcheD, and sought his own room. He seated himself at a desk which stood in one corner, and drew toward him peu and paper. After a few min utes' hesitation, lio dashed off a few : lines, real what he had written care fully, uud placed the sheet in an en velope. After directingifc, he affixed a stamp, aud putting the letter in an inner pocket, left the house by a rear door, and walked across tho fields toward the village. He dropped tho letter in tho box at the postollice, uud returned directly home. When ho reached there, he met his father. | "Auson," said tho colonel, sharply, j "that scoundrel, Longacre, refuses to pay lor tho sheep his dog killed, and I'm going to bring suit against him." "Yes, sir." "I've notic3.l lately that you've been paying that girl of his a good deal of attention. I want that stopped." "Yes, sir." "If I Lear of you being together again, I'll disinherit you. She's as bad a* her father, aud he's no better thau a thief. His sister, Miss Do rothea, is a very clever woman, aud the only really decent, person about the house." Mrs. Abigail Sloan, who usually spoke of Miss Dorothea Longacro as that "hatchet faced old rauid," told young Anson that night that she for one did not believe in these neighbor ly quarrel?, and r.ho meant to tell Square Longacre that the had 110 hand | iu the matter, and did not believe his j dog killed sheep, tho first timo she saw him. At about tho same time, Squire Longacre was standing on the porch of hia house, angrily confronting his daughter Nellie, who had just re- ' turned Iroin the village. "Nell," he said, "that old rascal, ! Shortrood. has been here, and I ex pect wo'Jl have a lawsuit. He says Bruno killed his sheep last night, aud I told hi in flatly that if ho said my dog killed sheep ho was a liar!" "Ob, papa!" protested Nellie. "Wei', he's aa unreasonable old j wretch, aud I'll givo him all the law j he wun.s! His son's no better. And bar!; ye, girl, if ever I catch you and 1 that young puppy together again, I'll | break may cau i over bis back an I put j you in a— a madhouse! Do you hear "Ye?, papa." "-.Veil, heed then!" cried tho i squire, wamiugly; uud he walked in j to supper. Nellie retired to her room, took a letter from her bosom, and read the contcut? eagerly. "Dear fellow!" she said, and kissed the sheet which had been penned only a few hours before by young Auson. Then she went down to supper. But little was said during the meal. The squire was cto?s and sulky, and Mis Dorothea was evidently iu ouo of her worst mood?. After tho meal, eho put ou her bon- , net and threw a light thawl over her i bony shoulder?. " vVbere arc you going, Dor?" asked her brother. "None of your business!" was the sharp answer. "You needn't be so snappish about it!" "Snappish!" cried the anciont maid; aud she tossed her heal. "I should say snappish ! A iniiu us un reasonable as you are, talking about people being snappish! Quarrelled with one of tho nicest men in the county." "He's a scoundrel!'' snarled the squire. "He's a Christian g ntlernan!" con-; tradicted Miss Dorothea; "and you | ought to go down on your knees to 1 hiiu and ask his pardon !" "I'll see myself I If there's any go ing down ono the knee?, let hiui go down to me. He insulted mo in my own house." "I suppose you'd go down on 'cm fast enough if that mnuceuveriug old widow would ask you !" "She's a lady !" cried the squire. "You'd better go tell bor to. It'll be news to her, 1 reckon."' "Perhaps 1 shall." "Well, you'd better. A lady! Well, heaven save tho mark !" And, with this spitoful reflection, Miss Dorothea flounced out of the 1 room. She directed her r-tcps toward a grove of maple trees which marked tho liouiidury line between tho farms of tho two belligerent?. By a curious coincidence. Colonel Bliortrood strolled in the same direc tion at about the ?a ue time. The angular soldier and tho thin j maiden lady mtt. They spoke, ami j finally walked toward an uufrequeutod part of tho grove, arm in arm. Shortly aftorlUia- Dorofclm left tho house, the ennira afolo out the bach way nntl walked rapidly across a wheat field toward a certain big willow trea which stood ou the edge of a pond. By a singular coincidence, Mrs. Abigail Sloan, in the course of her serpentine ramble, reached this tanro pond. Sealed on a fallen log, she and the representative of county judicial honors were soon engaged in an ani mated conversation. While these little scenes were being enacted, pretty Nellie Jbongaere, IU the seclusion of her chamber, wrote the followiug note, which young Anson Shortrood got out of the poit ollice the neat morning : Deauest A-ii: You know best.

Tlia colonel, young Auson and the Widow Sloan were there; tho squire, 1113 maiden sister and pretty Nellie also attended. On the evening of the sccon 1 day of the fair, at throo several plases in tho blue-grass city, there were three several meetings, and tbreo several couples, under cover of night, drove out of the city by three several roads, which all, however, headed toward tho Ohio Biver. Everybody has heard of Aberdeen, Ohio, which is of a verity tho Ameri can • 'Gretna Green," and most every body has heard of Squire Massio Boas ley, the presiding genius of tho littlo village. Late ou the morning of the night I speak of, a ir.au and woman were fer ric;! across tbo river from Maysville, am! proceeded directly to the squire's house. A few lusty raps ou the door roused his sable assist tut, who rejoices in tuo the name of Vulcan — probably be cause ho has assisted in welding so inauy pairs of h arts together—and ho opened the door and admitted them. There was no light, and he ushered them into a big room which opened di rectly of the bill). lie was just going for a light when another knoek mmraoned him to the door, and he admitted another couple. Again ho started for the light, and a third knock sounded. He admitted a third couple, and leaving them all in tho big roam, he hastened upstairs to arouse the squire. "Eusniz cz boomin', bos?," ho said, when the Great American Mafriaionia'- izer jumped out of bed. "Ereo pa'r uv 'em, sab!" "Three!" repeated the magistrate, making a hasty toilet. "Take that lamn down. I'll be there directly." Yulcan obeyed tho order, aud when he opened tho doer of tho big room, aud tho rays of the lamp ho carried lloodcd tho apartment, tlio sin people therciu contaiuel gave utterance to six quick cries of astonishment. Jt was the depciiement of tho Clov crluirg Comedy! Standing in one corner of the room was Colonel Shortrood, on whoso arm hung Miss Dorothea Longaere. Facing the military chieftain was Esquire Is rael Longacre, whoso arm was twined about tho waisii o.' buxom Abigail Sloan. In the middle of tho apartment htuod young An on Shoriroo;!, holdiug to bin breast pretty Nelly Longacre. Afccr ttie first cries of astonishment, there v.as a moraonth tilence, ihen a tremendous roar o' laughter; and then followed such handshaking and kissing, nud cries of mutual forgive ness and pledge 3 of carnal love und friendship ft? probably wera never hoard or seen before. Squire Alas bo L'casley married the three couple l , and thev went back to CJloverburg together. The lawsuit was dropped, and all parties thereafter lived together in peace and amity.— Saturday Night. Y.Vlu 1)1 o Color Test, A color test on a large scale occurred recently near Geseke, Germany. The Voimede, the Waid and the Hodcr are three brooks which have their source near Geseke, and, according to tra dition, their waters had subterranean connection with the Aimc, a mountain sticam who o bed is some ftve mile) distant. ?lillers located on the lower Aline dumped refuse in certain eddies of the upper portion of the stream, and the miller* on the Volmecie, the Waid ami the Heder claimed that by doing this the water supply of the lat ter stream was materially diminished.

When our reporter visited her store, she iu response to a question told him a very interesting story. "Until about two months ago." she began, "I enjoyed the very best of health und could work night and day if necessary, Suddenly, and without any apparent cause. I began to suffer from intense pains in my head, in rpy limbs and temples. Almost distraoted witn this seemingly nover ending pain, I tried euro after cure, prescription after prescrip tion and almost a gallon of medicine of all kinds. Nothing did mo any good. In fact I became worse. The knuckles of my hands soon became cramped and the pain in my hips became more and more distressing each day. Business in the storo had to bo at tended to, however, and so I was obliged, suffering as I was, to keep more or less on my feet and occasionally I was forced to go out. This was the ordeal I dreaded. Each time I went out I trembled when I came near tho car tracks for my pain at times was so severe that I was obliged to stand perfectly still no matter whore I was. Ou one occa sion I was seized in this way whllo I was crossing the tracks on Market Htreet and there I stood perfectly rigid, unable to move hand or foot while a trolley car earao thun dering along. Fortunately it was stopped before it struck mo, but tlio dread of It all lasted jl3 long as my pain, for I never knew when crossing the tracks, whether I would not drop to the ground in my agony and bo crushed to death. My anxiety to get wall grow upueo and I had about given up In de spair when I saw in tho Evening News one day, an advertisement of Dr. Williams' Piuk Tills.

"J , Gladness Gomes With a better understanding of the transient nature of the many phys ical ills which vanish before proper ef forts—gentle efforts —pleasant efforts — rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to a constipated condi tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with milli >ns of families, an t i i everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its benciicial effects arc due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness, without debilitating the organs on which it acts. 11 is therefore all important, in order to get its bene ficial effects, to note wlicn yon pur chase, that you have the genuine article, which is manufactured by the California I' ig" Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep utable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, then laxa tives or other remedies are not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but, if in need of a laxative, then one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction. f 11, i%r:';'' : .
