GLADSTONE'S RETIREMENT.
London, June 9. Gladstone, a few
minutes after 5 o'clock this afternoon,
entered the house of commons. His
appearance was that of a firm man,
perfectly undisturbed, ilo at once
proceeded to the speaker's desk, and
entered into conversation with Ir.
Peele. During the conversation the
premier was evidently in bright spir
its, and ho was loudly cheered by rad
ical members of the house. When he
showed himself in his usual place his
very self-possession seemed to en
thubc his admirers, and tho chamber
was fairly rent with cheer after cheer.
and the applause became an oration.
At last Air. fjrxndstone arose in de
fense to the greeting. He said the
cabinet, on assembling to-day, though
they were under obligations to sub
mit a dutiful communication to the
queen. Cheers It would be prema
ture for him to enter into particulars
concerning the nature of that com
munication just now. He would say,
however, that as on former occasions,
a few days must elapse before the re
sult of that communication could be
arrived at, so as to be made known to
the house. During the interval, Mr.
Gladst tne concluded, the house
would follow its usual custom in re
fraining from the transaction of ordi
nary business, and he would move
tho house on rising do adjourn until
Fridav.
Although Gladstone's statement in
the commons this afternoon did not
contain any direct announcement of
resignation by the cabinet, the terms
he employed were those which have
been invariably used on similar occa
sions, and were taken to indicate that
resignation had been decided on, and
tendered to the queen.
The conservatives are divided on
the question of the expediency of
assuming power. The majority of
them favor trying the experiment It
is expected by the tories that the
Marquis of Salisbury will be ready by
Friday next to accept an invitation
by the queen to form a provisional
government.
It is rumored that Gladstone in
tends entirely to abandon political
life.
London, June 3. A dispatch from
Cairo says: Some excitement has
been created hero among English
officials and residents by tho arrival
of a Coptic merchant from Khartoum.
He states that ho witnessed the fall
of Khartoum, and that immediately
after the massacre of the garrison,
El Mahdi demanded the head of Gen.
Gordon for a trophy, but his warriors
product d tho head of the Anstrinn
consul, Mr. HansaL "When the mis
take was discovered, a second search
wa3made for Gen. Gordon, but El
Mahdi's followers were unable to
find any trace of tho hero of Khar
toum. They found several other
Europeans, but no other documents
were found on tneir clothes to show
that either of them was General Gor
don. The Captain says it is possible
General Gordon, knowing that all
was lost, made his escape.
S100 a Minute.
Night and day, and every day in
tho year! This is about the rate at
which the United States government
is now paying off its indebtedness,
and is hardly one-third as fast as
during several several previous
years, lint MIX) a minute amounts
to only 12,500,000 annually, or
scarcely 75 cents, during a whole
year, for each of the inhabitants of
our great county. The most of it.
however, is paid by the wealthy, who
do not leel it, aud by a tax upon a
few articles of luxury. But, were it
equally divided, there are few who
would not cheerfully contribute this
small amount (75c) for the sake of
sustaining tho splendid reputation
our country enjoys throughout the
world as a prompt, honest, debt-paying
people. The Cnited States cculd
now borrow money at a lower rate of
interest than any other nulion tinder
the fun. There are several advan
tages in this. To name ene: ,A na
tion's strength depends largely upon
its ability to provide the "sinews of
war," of which money is the greatest.
Great Britain is stronger from this
cause than from the actual number
of fighting men she could raise among
her own population proper. For this
reason we are able to get along with
almost no standing army or navy
barely enough to act as a police -force,
and take caro of tho fortifications
and save them from dilapidation, and
to keep a corps of skilled officers in
training for any emergency that
might arise demanding the "sudden
action of a large force of citizen
soldiers. Nearly every other nation
has a large percentage of its most
vigorous men in field or camp, or
fort, or on shipboard, with another
heavy percentage toiling to support
tnese ana tne expenses they incur.
James Early, an American who has
just returned to Yicksbarg, Miss.,
tells a straightforward story of his
experience in railroad work in Guate
mala, which will be apt to deter any
one from going to that country un
der contract. With 169 other men he
saued for Puerto Barrios, Guatemala,
under contract to work for an Ameri
can firm for S2 a day acd pay $2.59 a
week for board and $9 for passage.
When they reached their destination
they had to build shanties to keep off
mo ram. w orj went; on rain or snine
and fever flourished. After much
sickness when he had worked twentv-
two days, Early asked for an account
ing. The cashier figured out board
at $4.40 a week and had Early S1.50
in the company's debt When he
demanded an itemized account a pis
tol was clapped to his head and he
was told that was tho Guatemalan
style of rendering such accounts.
With some of his companions he es
caped soon after to Belize. The con
dition of those who remained became
so desperate that they appealed to
the British consul at Belize, and he
notified the American war ship Swa
iara, which took away tho men and
arranged for their return to this
country. The incident is a good one
to remember when the next company
appears offering high wages for labor
ers in Spanish-American countries.

A week ago a Washington special
gave some interesting accounts of the
successful use of oil in calming the
waves in a gale. Cavtain Horace
Wood, of this city has invented an
oil bomb for use in quieting the
wave3 around a wreck. It consists of
a long tin tube filled with oil, one end
being pointed and filled with lead,
while tho other end has several per
forations, over which is to be pasted
a piece of paper. The bomb is to be
fired from a gun or cannon at a life
saving station and throw n to the
windward of the wreck. The weight
ed end sinks the cylinder, tho water
washes off the paper f ram the other
end, allowing the oil to slowly flow
out and spread on the surface of the
water. The cylinders contain from
half a pint to a gallon of oil, and by
tho successive use of a number of
them the water around the wreck
would bo kept covered with oil at a
trilling expense. Ex
Very, TeryJLittlc Things.
But very important your blood
corpuscles. They are bright red.
They tire so small that it takes over
3,000 of them in a line to make an
inch. The brighj red color comes
from the iron in them. When there
is not enough iron the blood is thin
and watery aud impure. Purity and
vigor go together. Brown's Iron
Bitters is the only safe iron tonic
ever made. It enriches tho blood,
builds up the system, gives health,
strength, aud enjoyment of life,
T. M. Alvord, of White river, has
contracted with the Valley beet sugar
company to raise 259 acres of sugar
beets for five years. This amount of
land of that quality will produce over
5,000 tons annually, for which ho 13
to receive $-150 per ton, delivered at
the factory. Here is :i scheme for our
peop c. Beets can be raised hpre in
abundance. Videtle.

Oil from Nature's Wells.
The skin on the head is kept soft
and flexible by a secretion from the
oil glands. When these are clogged
the hair dries and falls off. Parker's
Hair Balsam renews their action, re
stores the original color to the hair
and make3 it soft and glossy. It al
so eradicates dandruff. Not greasy,
not a dve, delicionsly perfumed. De
lightfui for a lady's toilet table. The
best of dressings. Preferable to all
similar articles because of its superi
or cleanliness and purity.
Under the Mexican law a creditor
can have a debtor arrested wheu the
debt falls due. Tho prisoner is
chained to a post five days, gnarded
by an officer. At the end of that time,
if the money is not forthcoming, the
man's labor is sold to tho govern
ment for forty cents a day for as many
days as will be necessary to discharge
the obligation. The miserable debtor
is snnt to the silver mines, where he
is chained to a gang of felons and
compelled to work underground. He
sleeps underground and never sees
daylight again until he is restored to
freedom.
