London, May 11. The follow

Berlin, May 10. Bismarck is
becoming daily more and more
emaciated, and physicians have
informed him that the worst may
happen if he does not abandon all
state work for the present.
Anti-Monopoly,
New York, May 11. The
World, under its new manage
ment, announces its political plat
form. The following is an extract:
"To-day we arc confronted by a
struggle in different guise. Organ
ized privilegists, coveting and
possessing exclusive rights under
the aegis of chartered monopolism,
undermine of political freedom
now more than 100 years ago. It
is for true democracy to preserve
political freedom now as it estab
lished political freedom in former
days. To this duty the World is
pledged.'

San Francisco, May 11. A
dispatch this morning from Her
mosillo, Mexico, says: Colonel
Torres returned last night from
Sierra Madrus, where he has been
pursuing the Apaches for twenty
days. He found them entrenched
in a stronghold in the mountains
and attacked with 300 troops. The
troops flanked the hostiles, charg
ing them at the rear at the point
of the bayonet. The Indians fled
leaving eleven dead. Five sol
diers were killed and eight seri
ously wounded. Colonel Torres
says the Apaches fight savagely;
they are armed with repeating
rifles. Torres thinks the Indian
troubles in Sonora are ended.
The troops returned to Guamasa,
Montezuma, "with the wounded
and to replcuish their rations.
A conspicuous illustration of
the St. Jacobs Oil as a remedy for
rheumatism is found in J. A. Bon
ham, the well-known lawyer of
Philadelphia, Pa., who thus tells
his experience: "About two
weeks ago I was seized with what
the doctor called muscular rheu
matism in my right leg. The leg
below the knee was swollen until
I could hardly stand upon it. I
liad seen St. Jacobs Oil advertised,
and I sent to the drug store near
my house, on the corner of Nine
teenth and Master streets, for a
bottle of it. I rubbed my leg
with it that night, and in a short
time the pain seemed to go away.
Next morning the swelling had
shifted from under the ankle to
the upper part of the knee. Well
I applied the Oil again, and the
swellinc in a short time went
away, leaving a very slight pain.
I didn't use any more of the Oil,
thinking that the attack was all
over. About a week later it ap
peared again in the same place.
The leg swelled so badly that, af
ter coming down and walking sev
eral squares, I gave completely
out. Well, I went home intend
ing to try some French medicine,
but I forgot to get it, and having
a part of this bottle of St. Jacobs
Oil in the house yet, I tried it
again, bathing the limb thorough
ly. Well, sir, when I got up in
the morning the pain and swel
ling were both almost gone, and
after one more application I was
as well as ever, and from that
time to this I haven't been
troubled."
Dynamite is one of the many
products or combinations of nitro
glycerine, and is about thirteen
times as powerful as gunpowder.
The discovery of this dangerous
and potent explosive was made in
1846 by Ascagne Sobrero, then a
pupil in the laboratory of Pelouze,
the eminent French chemist, who
devoted twenty years of his life to
the investigation of the chemistry
of oils and fats. Sobrero, having
tried a series of experiments,
eventually made explosive prep
arations from dextrine, mannite,
cane sugar, and glycerine. The
announcement of the discovery
caused a sensation in the scientific
world, but for some years, so dan
gerous and so treacherous was the
new explosive, that few attempted
in any way to utilize it. The
force and power were there to do
almost anything, but then the ma
terial was liable to explode pre
maturely, and without any appar
ent provocation, and for a long
time scientific men alone knew of
its existence. Sometime about
1863 or 1864: Henry and Alfred
Nobel, practical mining engineers,
began to experiment with nitro
glyceiine as a blasting agent, and
found it so effective and so econo
mical that they at once took out
patents in various countries, claim
ing that they were the inventors
ef the compound. Their claim to
the invention is clearly unfounded,
as Sobrero had demonstrated the
existence of nitro-sugar, nitro
dextrine,and nitro-glycerine nearly
a score of years before, but there
can be no question that the No
bels first applied the patent ex
plosive to its legitimate uses.
The Nobels were not successful
in their earlier efforts, owing to
the large number of grave acci
dents caused by nitro-glycerine in
Norway and Germany, where hun
dreds of blasters lost their lives
through ignorance or carelessness;
so finally they gave up the use of
the explosive in its original form.
They now confine their trade to a
mixture of rotten stone and gly
cerine, which formes the com
pound so widely known as dyna
mite. Dynamite was patented in the
United States May 20, 1868, the
patent being granted to Alfred
Nobel of Hamburg, Irermany, as
signor to John Bandmann of San
Francisco. It consists of a combi
nation of nitro-glycerine with a
substance of great absorbent pow
er such for instance as fuller's
earth or rotten stone. Bv this
combination the explosiveness of
the nitro-glycerine is controlled,
as it were, and the compound is
capable of withstanding all the
ordinary dangers of transportation,
while at the same time its explo
sive power is not lessened.
Our Northwest Boundary. j
The whole of the northwest boun
dary of the United States, from
Michigan to Alaska, has been dis
tinctly marked by the British and
American commissioners; and
some interesting details have been
published of the way in which this
difficult task was accomplished.
The boundary is marked by stone
cairns, iron pillars, wood pillars,
earth mounds and timber posts.
These structures vary from five
feet in height to fifteen feet and
there are 385 of them between the
Lake of the Woods and the base
of the Rocky Mountains. That
portion of the boundary that lies
east and west of the Red River
valley is marked by cast iron pil
lars at even mile intervals. The
British place one every two miles
aud the United States one between
each British post. The posts are
hollow iron castings. And upon
the opposite faces are cast in let
ters two inches high, the inscrip
tion, "Convention of London,"
and "October 20. 18S1." The
average weight of each pillar when
completed is eighty-five pounds.
Where the line crosses lakes,
mountains of stone have been
built, the bases being in some
places IS feet under water, and
the tops projecting some eight
feet above the surface of the lakes
at high water mark. In the
forests, the line is marked by
felling the timber a rod wide and
clearing away the underbrush.
As might be imagined, the work
of cutting through the timbered
swamps was very great, but it has
all been carefully and thoroughly
done. The Dillars are set four
feet in the ground in ordinary
cases, with their inscription faces
to the north and south, and the
earth is well settled and stamped
about them. The iron posts afford
little temptation for dislodgment
and conveying away by Indians or
others.

A new use has been discovered
for oyster shells. For years they
have been used for the manufac
ture of lime as manure, for deco
rative purposes, and in the prepa
ration of a cheap imitation of
marble; but it is now found that
they can be better utilized by
being thrown iu quantities into the
sea, where they make the best
possible foundation for new oyster
beds. In July and August next
many ship loads of these empty
shells will be sunk by English and
French oyster farmers in various
places suitable for the purpose,
and a few healthy living oysters
will then be dropped upon the
same spots. Experiments have
proved that under such conditions
the bivalves will shortly multiply
to an almost incredible extent; and
in so brief a period as two years
each empty shell will have from
thirty to forty young oysters at
tached to it. Tho new generation
can then be removed to make
room for more, and fattened for
market in specially constructed
tanks.

Genuine Scotch Salmon Jfct
Twine, to the care of A. 21. JOllXSOX

low enough figures to make it an object
for all net menders to use it for repairs,
in place of the more costly No. 40, 12-

Fishermen who have heretofore nsed
this grade of twine for repairs, claim
that the durability of the patch is equal
to the balance of the net, after the latter
has had a few weeks use. We think it
will be money in j-our pocket to try it.
