In ull other countries, the foreigner
whose character and mode of life com

of the authorities. The Nicaragua
canal, if once commenced in earnest,
will open up the almost inexhaustible
resources of that republic, and the en

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

When Spring, with maiden tenderness,
Steals shyly hither to caress.
Togla ldon with her pretty mirth,
Oar hanpy, flow'r-bedizsned earth;
My dear, my dear, what pageant days
Will greet us in tho country ways!
What Eden joys comeback again
When hawthorns whiten down the lanel
Tho little wistful moon, my friend,
Will peop a'jovo tho gablo-oud,
And 93c tho hillsldo orchard wliito
With blossom all tho forvont night;
Tho cottage pr.n33 will glow at dusk.
The darkness gather, sweet with musk,
And wearv kiue, with lagging feet,
Pass lowing down the village street.
And thou, at daybreak, hark, oh. hu3h!
Beneath the stars, the early thru3a
Piping, while heaven glimmers gray,
His morning carol, clear and gay.
He sang that self-same song, you know,
In Paradise, long years ago,
And keeps C3traagod from all regret
His warm, brave heart, uuvanquishel yet.
For him, for us, tho world is now
When daisied meadows gleam with dew;
Ah! not to us tho time 3 seam late
Who come but now to love and mate;
Content to deem it is mo3t wisa
To watch life out with tranquil eyes,
To kiss warm lips, and win thereby
A Ultle comfort ere .we die.

.Require Israel Longacre, who got his
title from having been at ouo time a
country magistrate, was about sixty
years of age, of rotund figure and
strong constitution.
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. Wo will nil

Tlio Kentucky State Fair that venr
camo oil at Lexington in October. 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.—

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.
To detoriniuo tlie connection about
l'our iiotiuda of potassium liuo-vseinvto
was dumped into oue of the eddies
five miles from the source of the
Hedcr. This substance "s marvelousiy
powerful, and a. solution containing
one part in 10,OOL\000 shows a distinct
fluorescence in transmitte I light.
Twenty-five hours later liio He del' took

Trolley Cars and Pills.
From the Evening Hews, Newark, N. J.
Mrs. Auna Burns, of 838 Plane Street,
Newark, N. J., is a decidedly pretty brunette,
twenty-six years old, tall, and a pleasant con
versationalist. On tho ground lloor of her
residence she conducts a well-ordered candy
store. 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. Here was something I hadn't tried
boforo and I lost no time in gel ting to the
nearest drug store. There I paid fifty cents
for n box of theso truly wonderful, health
restoring pi lis. Boforo I had finished taking
half of tho pills I began to feel relieved; the
rains in my lilps gradually disappeared and
for tho first time in many days 1 felt as if
there was some hope. I continued to take
tho pills and tho more I took, tho bettor I
felt. I finished ono box, got another and
now having taken only a few of tlio second
fifty cunts' worth. lam free from all pain and
as happy as the day is long. Since I began
to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills 1 have gained
thirty pounds and now when I cross the car
tracks X don't care if there is a dozen vehicles
nearby. It is a great relief, I assure you,
and suffering humanity has a nover failing
friend in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People. 1 know what lam talking about. I

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.
