Seigle & Co, decl8 Neuralgia, Sprains, Pain in the .Back and Side. There Is nothing more painful than these diseases; but the pain can be removed and the disease cured by use of Perry Davi9' Pain Killer. This remedy la not a cheap Benzine or Petroleum product that must be kept away from fire or heat to avoid danger of explosion, nor la it an untried experi ment that may do more harm than good. Pain Killer has been la constant use for forty years, and the universal testimony from all parts of the world Is, It never f ai Is. It not only effects a permanent cure, but It relieves pain almost Instantaneously. Being a purely vegetable remedy, it Is sale In the hands of the most Inexperienced. The record of cures by the use of Pain Killer would fill volumes. The folio wins extracts from letters received show what those who have tried It think: Edgar Cady, Owatonna, Minn., says : About a year since my -wife became subject to severe Buffering from rheumatism. Our resort was to the Paw Kn.i.Bn, which speedily relieved her. Charles Powell "writes from the Sailors -Home, London : I had been afflicted three years with neuralgia andviolent spasms of the stomach. The doctors at Westminster Hospital gave up my case in despair. I tried your Pain Killer, and it grava me immediate relief. I hare re-rained my. strength, ana am now able to follow my usual occupation. 'v . 0. H. Walworth. Saco, Me., writes : I experienced immediate relief from pain In the side by the use of your Paik Kili.kr. E. York says: I have used your Paiw Killer for rheumatism, and have received great benefit Barton Seaman says : Have used Pain Killer for thirty years, and nave found it a nvrr-failing remedy for rheumatism and lameness. Mr. Burditt writes : - JkHe2?Zfaiu to 8 ve relief In cases of rheumatism. Phll-JBUbert, Somerset, Pa., writes : From actual use, 1 know your Pais Ktt.t.rti Is the best medicine I can get. An druggists keep Pain Killer. Its price Is so low that It Is within the reach of all, and It will save many times Its cost In doctors' bills. HBc., 50c and 91.00 a bottle.

Win te the goal, and find bis years, A harvest-field of waste and tears, Of turmoil, and of burled trust, Rich with dead hopes and bitter dust, And strife and sneer, and ceaseless palo, What is the gain? What is the gain? -When, having reached a sunlit height, Through barren sweeps of gloomful night, Hoping to see beyond the crest fair land of beauty and of rest, There lies before, stretched tar away, Unto the confines of the day, A desolate and shadeless plain. What lathe gain? What is the gain? To's&ll for months of cold and toll Across wide seas, where winds recoil Only to gather strength, and -roar . A louder challenge than before. And flmd, when through fogs thick and dun, The rocky coast at last is won. No haven from the storm-vexed main. What is the gain? What is the gain? The race is won, we see the light, We conquer where the storm-winds fight; We show the way to those who wait With faint hearts by the walls ot fate; Our banners flutter In the van Of battles fought for thought and man; JDd ignorance and darkness wane; This Is the gain. e ITEMS OF INTEREST. Dr Francis Guiteau, grandfather of the assassin, was the medical expert for the defense on the trial of Alpheus Hitchcock for murder, which trial was held in a barn in the town of Sulliran, N. Y., beginning July 4, 1807, being the first murder trial in Madison county. The 75,000,000 cross-ties demanded by our railways help denude the forests, as well as menace the country with fuel famine. It takes 300,000 acres to supply this demand annually. A "green Christmas" is threatened in England as well as in this country. In some parts of England the season is un usually open. In Kent primroses are in bloom, violets perfume the dells, and the song-birds have not lost their sum mer notes,wbile on the commons the heather is purple, and the furze resplen dent with golden bloom. Paris is about to spend $20,000,000 on improving the water supplv of the town, and a further sum of 40,000,000 on the schools and lyceums, the comple tion of fifteen streets, four avanues and the Boulevard Haussman, &c. There are at present in the French capital 30,000 bouses unprovided with water, and 250 miles of streets of which the inhabitants-do not know how to get rid of their refuse water. Mrs. Keifer, the Speaker's wife, is a tall and graceful woman and an ami able, sensible and excellent wife and mother. She has four children three sons and a daughter. She will now re main with her husband in Washington, which city she has heretofore only oc cassionally visited. A Pittsburg inspector has brought to light a new fraud. It appears that one barrel of genuine oysters can be so in creased in bulk by a proper admixture of lime and water that4t will sell for two barrels. The Pittsburg dealers have not hesitated to add to their profits by thi3 scandalous device. They are to be prosecuted. The building of the Texas Pacific railroad has developed the important fact that the Liana Estacado, or "Stak ed Plains.'yritherto regarded as an irre claimable desert, are adapted to settle ment and cultivation. There is in all its extent no running water, but the railroad engineers found water at the depth of forty feet in the first well they 1 i . i 11 : - ia sunK, ana reacnea me same result wiiu every succeeding welL The country seems to be honeycombed with subter ranean water courses, encountered at a depth varying from thirty to fifty feet. The supposed desert turns out to be the best watered division of the road. It is rich prairie soil, bearing a luxuriant growth of grass. Where the graders camped and corn and Oats were spilled, it was found that they took root and grew thrif tly. Past and Futnre of tjie Penafon Ar rearages' Act. Mr. John A. Bentlev. ex-commission- er of pensions, states that of the 2,150, 000 men engaged on the Federal aide during the late war there are still alive, ancordin&rto the best data obtainable. at least 1,100,000. He made an estimate after the passage or tne oiu in ijy w find how much in the way of arrears would be due under the provisions of the bill to persona who had already been awarded pensions before the pas sage of the measure. The sum required was found to be 828,347,930. It did not include 120,000 claims filed and not yet adjusted, nor those liKeiy 10 De niea ai terwards, about 180,000 in number. An &. nf nnnoTPsa of March S. 1879. con ceded the $25,000,000 to settle for arrears due on pensions awaraea prior 10 Jan uary 25, 1870, showing that Congress tnAnr that t.ha sum annronriated did not cover the prospective claims. Mr. Bent- -1 i - J! O A ley made a second estimate iur oeuaiur Davis on Jan. 20, 1881, by which it ap md. that thft act would consume. sooner or later, $510,301,673 at the least. He states that tne act onginaiea wun claim agents, and was presented by a Republican member in lieu of one about to be presented by the chairman of the committee on invalid pensions, and was passed without a dissenting vote. It in thft Senatft until the middle of January' 1879, when, in view of the ap- proaching senatorial ejaciiong, sena tors felt oornpellsd to; Yote' for it. The pension roll,5 which has increased by some 15,000 names during the last fiscal year, will, in Mr. Bentley's opinion.con linue to grow until it oounts fully 400, 000 pensioners, drawing an annual in come of over $40,000,000 in addition to the sum demanded for arrears. Of the $100,000,000 asked for this year by the pension office about $60,000,000 will go for arrearages and $2O,OOaO0 far a de ficiency of the present year. Specimen Ilaytien Insect. Wilmington Stir. It is the schooner Nellie Husted, from Haytt for New York, with a cargo of logwood, which is so Infested with "varmints," to which we alluded in yes terday's Star.

The sale of the State's interest in the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad has been completed. The contract will be published as soon as a cony can be obtained. . While we suppose that some of the commissioners were entirely satisfied with the financial showing made by the contractors, yet without doubt they have done the best thing under the circumstances. The road cannot be spirited away. It cannot be wrecked. The purchasers buy only the State's stock and get no rights of any kind until they pay $155,000; after that is done they cannot mortgage the road recKle8sly and sell it out. As we un derstand it, the amount of bonds to be issued per mile is limited ; the bonds cannot be sold for less titan par ; they are to be handled by the Treasurer of the State who is to see" that the pro ceeds are applied to the building of the work. If the contract is carried out by the purchasers, the road will be built'; if they do not carry it' out, then no harm is done. The question may be asked why, if there is any doubt about the financial ability of the purchasers to perform their undertaking, should the road be sold at all why not keep it? The an swer is ready. . Those who know the history of the road know that unless it is sold it can not be built It has come to a halt. It is without means and without credit. It cannot get the iron necessary to lay the track. The work has practically come to an end. It needs the helping hand of capitalists. These people say that they can and will build it. It will be a great benefit to the State to have the line completed, and so a majority of the commissioners, looking at the mat ter in a plain, practical, sensible way, say let them try ; no harm can come, much good may result. And so the contract has been made. If the purchasers shall pay the $155, 000 as agreed on, we shall expect them to succeed in building the road. They are not going to put in that amount of money without knowing where the balance is to come from necessary to buy the iron and finish the work. We, therefore, feel hopeful that they will succeed. And we propose to help them to succeed. We want them to go right along with the construction and they shall have all the aid and countenance we can give them as long as things look clean and fair. In saying this we but give expression to the general sen timent Everybody interested in the completion of the work wish them suc cess. German Carp. Raleigh News and Observer. Much interest is being shown in all parts of the State in the cultivation of fish in private ponds. This enterprise, which has been undertaken here and there by individuals since the earliest days of qhe settlement, has received a new impetus since the State has taken it in hand to supply improved varieties. Fish Commissioner S. G. Worth informs us that he is awaiting the arrival of further shipments of German carp from Washington, which are designed for private ponds. At present all the carp are brought here from Washington, though an attempt will be made to breed many thousands at Raleigh next summer. They will be shipped by ex press. They may be shipped several days in water, deeper. than their backs, and without change. They must, how ever be kept in a cool place, especially away from stoves, When persons apply for these fish. Commissioner Worth sends them an application blank, which they fill out and send to one of our mem bers of Congress or Senators, and ask for an endorsement. It is then turned over to the United States Commissioner of Fisheries at Washington,- and the name filed. The fish are then sent to him in quantities, and are furnished to -individuals from Raleigh as a central point. The fish cost the individual no thing. Twenty fish are shipped in a gallon bucket. The person receiving them pays the express charges and keeps the vessel, which is equal in value to the charges, say twenty-five cents. The total weight of each bucket, with contents, will not exceed six pounds. The snipment of carp will begin about the 10th of January. Kittle'a Letter to Santa Clans. Nashville American. One of the city mail carriers on his rounds yesterday found the following letter in the mail-box on the corner of Broad and Summer streets : "Nashville. Dear Santa Claus : I wish you would bring me a big doll and a little doll buggy. I am a little girl, just five years old, and I would like to have a tea set, a bed room set, a little stove and a parlor set. I will not ask for much this Christmas, dear Santa Clans, for you brought me so many things last Christmas. Please bring me a little doll, piano and Chinese baby I think they are so nice. Well, you must excuse me for not writing a long letter. I expect you will receive a great many letters from little girls. I remain yours Katie Peakl Hill."

Henry Stearns again took the stand in the Guiteau trial this morning. He stated that the faculty of -memory was gener ally the first to show impairment in most all forms of insanity, sometimes, however, and in some cases, memory might be unusually active and reten tive. Scoville asked : "Do you agree with the last witness that insanity is always an outward manifestation of a diseased brain." Judge Porter objected to the form of question and quite a war of words en sued between counsel, in which Gui teau took part. Judge Cox interposed with a few smooth words which conduced to turn away wrath and the examination pro ceeded for some time without incident Destructive Fire at Oldham. Oldham, England, Dec 24.
