Tha question has probably been asked thousand
of times "IIow can Brown's Iron Bitters euro ovory

for which a reputable physician would prescribe IKOX
Physicians recojrnize Iron as the best restorativo
agent known to the profession, and inauiry of any
leading chemical firm will eubstan! ialo the visertion
that taero are more preparations of iron than of any
other substance nsea in medicine This shows con
clusively that iron is acknowledged to bo the mot
important factorin successful medical practice. It is,
howorer. aremarkjiblo fact, that prior to tho discov

PIRATE LAFITTE.
The Exploits of a Celebrated Dare-Devil
and His Cans.
They were sad dare-devils, those
old buccaneers, who tailed about
arnonjr the "West India islands,
through the bright waters of the
Lrull ot Atexico aau aiong me iiuan
tic sea coast. They thought nothing
of going up the deeper rivers to the
plantations of rice and indigo, and,
after loading their vessels, would pil-
lace and burn the residences, tuen
depart, leaving the poor planters to
deplore the ruiu of their nomesteaus
and the loss of their crops. It was
also very dangerous to go by sea from
southern ports to New York, as was
shown by the case of Mrs. Alston.
She was Theodora, the only daughter
of the distinguished Aaron Burr, a
lovely and accomplished woman, who
married Governor Alston of South
Caf olina. "When her father was to be
tried for high treason. Lira. Alston
gathered up all the handsomo family
silver plate, and with her husband's
consent, set off in a ship for New
York, where it was to be sold for her
father's .benefit But alas! neither
vessel nor lady was ever heard of
again, and as there was no storm to
have occasioned disaster, the pirates
were always supposed to have cap
tured and destroyed them. Governor
Alston offered largo rewards for in
formation, but no tidings of Mrs. Al
ston's fate ever reached him, and it
was only many years after that one of
the miscreants made a dying confes
sion aud admitted the facts, stating
that he had ever been haunted by the
remembrance of the crime. The pi
rales had had spies in Charleston,
who notified them of the sailing of
the ship with the valuable silverware
aboard; they had laid in wait for her,
taken possession of her on the high
seas, and made the unfortunate pass
engers and crew "walk tho plank."
Mrs. Alston had refused to have her
eyes blindfolded; with tho most he
roic courago and composure, all
dressed in white, her beautiful face
raised to heaven and the Bible clasped
to her heart, she bravely stepped for
ward into eternity.
Another story which dates still fur
ther back into the past is the fato of
Steed Bonnet, a desperate robber.
His depredations and interruptions
to commerce, made him a terror to
the coast of Carolina, until at
length Governor Sir Nathaniel John
son fitted out a sloop-of-war and sent
Colonel William Ituetfc in pursuit of
him. They met him at the mouth or
Cane Fear river, where an engage
ment took place. The pirate's ship
was boarded and captured, and he,
and those of his crew who remained
alive, were taken to Charleston,
where they were tried aud jon
demned. So one pleasant, sunshiny
morning in November. 1718, Steed
Bonnet and thirty-two of his men
were hanged at White Point Garden.
This public garden forms the
southern point of Charleston, at the
confluence of the Ashley aud Cooper
rivers, and has been called the Bat
tery ever since the revolutionary war,
when an earthwork was erected there,
and cannon mounted, which were ex
pected to drive back the British if
thev succeeded in passing Port Moul-
lirie. Most happily, however, thev
were never called into action, as the
English were defeated.
The last of tho buccaneers was tho
celebrated Lafitte, who for many years
carried on his illicit traffic in defiance
of the government. His crew of
smugglers and pirates occupied the
bay of Barataria, where they had for
tified an island. A price was set up-
Lon his head, but it is said that he was
frequently seen in 2xew Orleans, and
had friends, and even a banker who
received his ill-gotten gains "under
the rose.'' There are so many lakes
and bayous along the coast of Louis
iana and Mississippi that the light,
swift crafts ol the pirates could al
ways elnde pursuit and slip away in
to some inlet or behind an island,
when they found an enemy on their
track. All the Spanish fishermen,
who were inimical to tho United
states, wcro m their pay, and gave
notice by private signals whero there
was danger to be apprehended, and
so they enjoyed comparative immun
ity from the consequences ot their
misdeeds.
This daring robber deserves our
praise for his patriotism, however, for
when the Jiiughsh came to attack New
Orleans, in 1S15, Sir Edward Paken
ham, the commander of their forces,
Lafitte a big reward if he would as
sist his army by showing them the
passes to the city, which nono knew
so well as this skillful pilot But La
fitte refused his bribe and sent word
to General Jackson that if he would,
insure his men a free pardon for past
offenses they would como up and
help him to defend tho city. As
they were known to have bold hearts,
and to be skillful artillerists, Gover
nor Claiborne willingly granted this
request, and so Lafitte, his men and
his guns arrived and did good ser
vice in tho day ot our necessity.
In New York last Tuesday tho jury
acquitted Mrs. Dudley, who shot
O'Donovan Bossa, on the ground of
insanit'. The jury was only in con
sultation about five minutes when
they rendered their verdict A mo
tion was .made to send Mrs. Dudley
to the state lunatic asylnm, which
her counsel opposed. Tho latter
asked that their client be permitted
to bo returned to her native country,
and be placed in an institution there.
The courts will listen to arguments
on this motion to-day.
EUROPEAN TOPICS.
Londok, June 30. The death of
Emperor "William promises to bo the
next great sensation in .Lurope. Ex
traordinary precautions are being
taken to prevent tho sending of any
telegram revealing hi3 real condition,
but private letters not subject to offi
cial censorship give such discourag
ing forecasts that the news of Ins
death is daily expected. In official
circles in England the death of the
aged Kaiser is looked upon as an ev
ent of the very near future, and the
extent to which this occurrence is
calculated upon seems surprising and
heartless, xts immediate political
effect will be to bind England and
Germany together in very closo un
ion. The crown princess of England
will be empress of Germany, and the
coming omperor is known as an
affectionate friend of the Prince of
Wales and Queen Victoria.
.Nothing more opportune for tue
new lory government of England
could possibly occur. With an An
glo-German alliance firmly estab
lished, difficulties in the way of En
gland's foreign policies would disap
pear as if by magic, and the Salis
bury ministry would get tho credit of
results wrought by a dispensation of
providence. It is rumored that all
this was counted upon in tho very
highest circles in the two realms be
fore Lord Salisbury finally consent
ed to take office, and that it very
largely influenced his decision.
Tombstoke, June 30. A. J. Han
eke, a miner, brought news yester
day from Fronteras of au engage
ment between Indians and whites last
Thursday, thirty miles southeast of
Fronteras, in which it is reported
that thirty-six Indians and sixteen
Americans were killed and several
wounded. To-day further informa
tion wa3 received through Thomas
Crocker, from San Bernardino ranch,
situated on the trail from Fort Bowie
to Sonora. Ho reports an engage
ment between the entire force under
Lieutenant Davi3 and the Apaches.
Sixteen Indians were killed and
fifteen or twenty taken prisoner.
The loss of tho whites is not stated.
New York, July 1. The Tcleuram's
Washington special says: General
Grant's brother-in-law said to-day: "I
am afraid that General Grant will not
last many more days. To-day I re
ceived informaation from the family
that the cancer has commenced to in
flame the jugular vein, and death is
the question of a few days, in the
opinion of his physicians.''
Bloo;l IClot in Mexico.
Foolish as it seems, tho riot was
all about sjiuc nicklo coins which had
recently been issned by the Mexican
Government, and which the Mexicans
disliked. A small cause, surely. But
blood corpuscles are only one twenty-eight-hundredth
part as big as ono of
our five-cent nickles. Aud yet what
a circus they stir up if anything goes
wrong with them! Mrs. Brannan, of
Ivanhoe, Ga., says: "I used Brown's
Iron Bitters with best results for ex
treme nervousness, sleeplessness, and
bad blood."
Port Towksekd, June 30. The
Enos Soule, reported ashore at Pro
tection island, was gotten off this
evening without damage and has ar
rived at her destination, Port Towns
end. Worno than a Rerolver.
In commenting on several cases in
that city whero children died, from the
effects of taking cough syrup contain
ing morphia, the editor of an Omaha
paper remarkes that opiates, poisons
and narcotics are more dangerous
than firearms. Mothers should note
this and also that different Boards of
Health, after careful analyses, have
certified that the only purely vegeta
ble preparation of this kiud, and one
that is harmeless, and effective, is Bed
Star Cough Cure. The Commissioner
ofH'althof Baltimore publicly en
dorses it
Denver, Col., June 30. The News
has just received tho follewing: "Ig
nacio, Colorado, head chief of the
TJtes, promises no further retaliation
for the assassination of the TJte
family of six on Friday morniug,
June 19th. Peace is seenred." This
is signed by Hallsheimer the agent
The Brant r of Tonth.
