Sore Eyes The eyes aro always in sympathy with tho body, and afford an excellent indox of its condition. When tho eyes bocomo weak, and the lids Inflamed and sore, It is an evidence) that tho system has become disordered by Scrofula, lor which Ayer's Sarsaparilla is the best known remedy. Scrofula, which produced a painful in flammation in my eyes, caused me much suffering for a number of years. By tho ad vice of a physician I commenced taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla. After using this medicine a short time I was completely Cured My eyes ore now in a splendid condi tion, and I am as well and strong as ever. Mrs. William Gage, Concord, N. II. For a number of years I was troubled with a humor In my eyes, and was unabln to obtain any relief until I commenced using Ayor's Sarsaparilla. This niedl cinehas effected a complete cure, and I believe it to be the liest of blood puri fiers. C. E. Upton, Nashua, H. II. From childhood, and until with a few months, I have been afllicted with Weak and Boro Eyes. I have used for these complaints, with beneficial results, Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and consider it a great blood puriiier. Mrs. C. Phillips, Glover, Vt. I suffered for a year with Inflamma tion in my left eye. Three ulcers formed on tho ball, depriving me of sight, and causing great pain. After trying muny other remedies, to no purjioso, I was final ly induced to use Ayer's Sarsaparilla. By Taking three bottles of this medicine I have boen entirely cured. My sight has been re stored, and there is no sign of inflamma tion, sore, or ulcer In my eye. Kendal T. Bowcn, Sugar Tree liidgo, Ohio. My daughter, ten years old, was afflict ed with Serofulous Sore Eyes. During the last two vears she never saw light of any kind. 'Physicians of the highest standing exerted their skill, but with no permanent success. On the rerommi n ilatiou of a friend I purchased a ltile of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which my daughter commenced taking. Before she hail useil the third bottle her sight was n-stired. ll r core is complete. W. E. Suther luiid, Evangelist, Shelby City, Ky. tt Ayer's Sarsaparilla, rrepred by Ir. J. C.

There was a Frenchwoman who played tho violin.rereivlng $100a daytherefor; aswonn u were so scarce in those days, whenever she left the saloon to go out ou the strut every saloon around the sipiar was emptied to get a look at her. In these saloons there were pilvs of gold, both in coin and neks of gold dust, that would put some of ourcoiiinierciiil banks of the present day to tlm blush, and long tables that had their croupiers ready to rake iu or pay out as fast as the cards were turned. 1 have often watched some- novice who was putting down hi llrst ventures at plav. Ou one invasion I saw at the same lubie two clergymeu shove their coin uirtler another man's arm on the table. I knew them both and know of what I speak wo are all mortals after all. Among other noted players was a judge at that time, who made it a point every veiling to go around from place to place and make high play. Upon entering with bis attendant, who carried the sack, be would first sit down at a table and bar off every other player; then set his time of play at a limit, say twenty minutes or half an hour, the stake from ten to twenty thou sand dollars with the bank. Meantime, to keep the crowd that would be in it the time, which would manlier from ;i(H) np to near IIMNI, he always asked them to take a drink, which meant '-." cents a head for the bar; and if he won he paid for the drinks, if lie lost the bank had thein to pay for. . . A Prmitrou Trniioi y. Our neighbor ou the north, which has long wanted to tieoome s part of the Union, seems at least largs, rich and great enough to be come a state. Eugene Semple, govenor of Washington territory, in his annual report to the secretary of the interior, estimates the population of the territory at 1 KI.Gli'J, an iu crease of over 10,000 in the last two years. The taxable property uf the territory, exclu sive of rnilmsd property is given nt f.lO.HN;) SlMl, tin increase of nearly f J.IHKI.OOO ever last year. Settlemeift ou publio lands, of which nearly 17,000,000 acres remain niisnr veyed, has been retarded by that fact, bybu uncertainty of Northern Pacifto titles, by ex tensive Indian reservations, eto. The report speaks at length of the resour ces and capabilities of the territory, in the way of crops, slock raising, minerals and lumber production, eto., and of their great variety ami impottance. Of 01,000 children of school age, the average iluilv attendance is about 2'J.INH). Labor is hardly eipial to to the demand. Ths salmon fisheries yield ed $12,121,000 during ths year. Ankeny anil the Rubber. Sunday Welcome. Tod P.inghiim, the well kuown lawyer, tells a story ou ('apt. Aukeiiy to tho stl'eut that when that big man with a heart in proportion to his body was riding ahead of a pack train that was taking supplies into tho mines In Jackson county he was stopped by a young fellow with a pistol ami told to throw up his arms. The old msu turned in bis saddle anil viewing the aiuntour road agent from head to foot said: "You'rs foolish.boy. Yen could nt hit me but ones, and then before yon would know where you were I'd have you in these big arms of mine and squeeze blood out of yout ears before you could say Jack Robin. son. Now tell me the truth, are you hun gry?" "I nm," was the feeble reply. "I've been roaming about these mountains for a week, and am broke, hungry, afoot and sick." Then the generous old miner got down from his mule, and when the pack traiu came mi gave the poor boy an abundance of food, mounted him on s cay use and hired him to help tho train men as a night herder. How Many Bullets mi. Boston Beacon. The uestiou has often besn raised, what proportion of balls exchanged by hostile sr mi.s will hit their mark and kill. Difficult as it is to solve it exactly, somo approxima tion may be arrived at from the numbsr of balls-sstimated at 30,000,000 which were fired by the Germans in the war of 1870-71. The French army lost, in dead and wounded, about 110,000 men. According to this, only on. ball out of 1 13 fired hits its man, and as suming that on an average only one man out of seven bit was actually killed, it would ssem that only one rillo ball in H.'j8 proved fatal. It is further considered that as the number of men wounded and killed by the guns of ths artillery are included in ths above estimate, it may safely bs said that not over one rifle, ball in 1,000 fired proved fatal. Incifnie of Colored Proplc. New York Sun. Bishop Alexander W. Wayman, the great leader of the colored Methodists, asked the other day why the colored people of the South increased so much more rapidly than the whito, answered: "We draw from three sources, while the white people only draw from one every colored woman whose hus band is white, the children are set down on our side; every white woman whoa husband is colored, which condition exists in the north, the children are set down on our side; every offspring of pure African blood, of course, ii st down on our side: while the white people only draw from one source, themselves." A man in Kansas 'committed sutcido by hanging hirowdf in a red barn. Ths inquest In Id over his body developed the facts that his farm was mortgaged, his wife cross-eyed, and his dog bad been whipped by a neigh bor's. In view of these circumstances the jury returned a verdict of "jmtitiable sui cide." Epoch. J. L. Hallett, of Diliey.

One evening, soon after my arrival in East srn Assam, and while ths live elephants were being fed opposite ths bungalow, 1 observed a young and lately-caught one step up to a bamboo fence and quietly pull up one of the stakes. Placing it under its foot it broke oil' a piece with its trunk, and, after lifting it to its mouth, threw it awny. It repeated this twice or thrice aud then drew another stake. Seeing that the bamlion was old and dry, I asked the reason of this, and was told to wait and see what the elephant would do. At last it seemed to get a piece that suited him, aud holding it in the trunk firmly, and stepping the left fore leg well forward it pass ed the piece of bamboo under the armpit, so to speak, and begau to scratch with some force. M surprise reached its climax when I saw a large elephant leech fall to the ground, quite six inches long, and thick as one's tlnger.aud which, from its posillou , could not be easily detached without this scraper, which was de liberately made by the elephant. I subse quently found that this was a common occur rence. Such scrapers are used by every ele phant daily. Ou another occasion, wheu traveling at a time of year when the tlies are so tormenting to an elephant, I noticed that the one I rode had uo fan, or wisp to beat them olT with. The driver, at my order, slackened jace and allowed her to go to the side of I lie road, wheu for some moments she moved along, rummaging the smaller jungle on the bunks. At last she came to a cluster of young shoots well branched, and after feeling among them aud seUctiug olio raised her trunk and neatly siripped dowu the stem, taking ulV all the lower branches and leaving a tine bunch of top. She deliberately cleaned it down sever al times, aud then laying hold at. the lower end broke off a beautiful far, or switch, about live feet long, handle included. With this the kept the tlies at bay, Happing them off on each side, Say what we may, these are both rosily bona fide implcmonts.cach intelligently mado for a definite purpose.

I am told by prominent Iiidianiaiisthat the ew Senator, David Turpie, will be the ln- galls OI me UeniocrallO Nine oi inn senaiu chamber, and that he may take the laurels of sarcasm from ths sharp-tongued Kaiisau. "Dave lurpie, said one of tin so gum lemon, "will bs oue of the strongest men iu tho sen ate, aud he will be one of ths ablest speaker on the democratic side of the chamber, lie is oue of the best rsad men in ths United States, and he possesses a ourious combina tion of diffidence and cheek. He is at home uo place but while upon his feet speaking, and he does not impress strangers as being a great mini. He is backward and modest in privals life, aud docs not indulge to any ex tent in couvivial society. He makes friends slowly, but he sticks to his friends to the last and tights for them. He hates his enemies, loo, and ho believes, I think, iu the philoso phy of revenge. He is a great reader; aud is a fine classical scholar. 1 le can speak French Gorman aud Italian, and he has such a good accent iu each of these that he is often mis taken for a foreignsr. I don't think he has vtr traveled to any sxtsul abroad, and he has acquired his culture by private study. He is a widower, but will not cut any flguro in Washingtou society, lis will uot be seen much about the hotels, aud be will spend most of his time at borne and in ths senate.
