Niw Yord, Oct. 3. General Fitzhugh
Lee, interviewed in this city, said that
the Seventh army corps, of which he is
commander, would probably go to Cuba
about the last of this month. He had
fifteen regiments under his command,
and tbe general health of the corps was
excellent. Only about two per cent had
been on the eick list since they bad been
encamped at Jacksonville.
"We've got excellent water," he said,
;It comes from artesian wells, end pipes
are run through the camp, with a epill
out at tne oeau oi each company
Btreet."
When asked whether Colonel William
J. Bryan's regiment woald be mustered
out, General Lee said he did not know
One Nebraska, regiment would be mus
tered out,' and tbe choice had been left
to the governor of that state.
"My corps is in Une condition and
well dulled," Baid General Lee. "You
know, when there's any fighting going
on I like the volunteers, but in times of
peace they have two many fathers and
mothers, and sisters and cousins and
aunts who want to get them out of tbe
service."
General Lee did not know that any
commander had been suggest to take
command of all the troops in Cuba. He
was inclined to think that the island
would be divided into two departments,
with one general in command of each
department, but, of course, "one man
might be put in command of all.
Deafness Cannot be Cored
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of tbe Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can betaken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulare; free. -

Three Doctors In Consnltation.
From Benjamin Franklin.
"When you are sick, what you like
best is to be chosen for a medicine in the
first place ; what experience tells you is
beet, to be chosen in the second place ;
what reason (i. e.. Theory) says is best
is to b3 chosen in tbe last place. But if
you can get Dr. Inclination, Dr. Ex
perience and Dr. Keason to hold a con
sultation together, they will give you
the best advice that can be taken."
When you have a bad cold Dr. Incli
nation would recommend Chamberlain's
Cough Bemedy because it is pleasant
and safe to take. Dr.' Experience would
recommend it because it never fails to
effect a speedy and permanent cure.
Dr. Reason would recommend it because
it is prepared on ecientinc principles,
and acts on nature's plan in relieving
the lungs, opening the secretions and
restoring the system to a natural and
healthy condition. For sale by Blakeley

Some Interesting- Facta About the
Value of Ilnbiea.
"To the question: 'Which is "the
most valuaTole precious stone V nine
people out of every ten, at least, will,
without the slig-htest hesitation, reply:
'The diamond,' " said a dealer in gems.
"But the value of a good-sized diamond
cannot approach that of a ruby of the
correct color and similar dimensions.
"The worth of small rubies stones
that are of less than a carat is, if any
thing', rather less thanithat of diamonds
of a like description, but the rare oc
currence of large specimens of that
dark carmine tint which is looked upon
as the sine qua no-n of a perfect ruby
auses the value of -these gems to in
crease in a far greater proportion than
in the case of diamonds. Rubies weigh
ing more than four carats ore so ex
ceptional that when a perfect one of
five carats is brought to the market
it will command ten times as high a
sum as a diamond of the same weight,
while rubies of six carats, without crack
or flaw, and of the proper color, would,
in all probability, bring as high a price
as $5,000 per carat, or 15 times as much
as a diamond of like size and faultless-
ness.
"All over the east rubies are regarded
with the greatest possible favor, and
so it Las L-eca fi cm the earliest times
of which we have any record. The finest
specimens are found in Burmah, and
from time immemorial it has been a
law of that country that all rubies' of
above a certain size are the property of
the king, whoever may have been for
tunate enough to find them. It is
thought to this day there are concealed
in Burmah, among fhe treasures which
the British invasion caused to be hid
den away, rubies of far greater size
and value than any which have up to
now been seen either ia.JEurope or this
country.
"The law which gave fine rulbies to
the ruler of the land has undoubted
ly caused the destruction in modern
times of many, magnificent specimens
of this gem,. for the finders of larger
stones than usual have, whenever the
opportunity was favorable, broken
them into fragments, each weighing- less
than a carat, to insure themselves the
possession of several rubies incompara
bly less valuable, it is true, than tha
original in which they were once
united, but still their own instead of
the king's." Washington Star.
