. - - - J 5 . No one needs to be told to try to cure a cough. But any one will be glad to be told of a means of cure which will be thorough and lasting. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is a -medicine which can be conndently relied oa to cure diseases of the organs of respiration. It cures obstinate, deep seated coughs, bronchitis and bleeding of the lungs. It cures when nothing else will cure, and the local physician says: "There is nothing more that we ere is no alcohol in "Golden Med ical Discovery," and it is absolutely free from opium, cocaine and all other nar cotics. The dealer, tempted by the little more profit paid by less meritorious medicines, will sometimes try and sell a substitute when the "Discovery " is asked for. No substitute medicine will satisfy the sick like "Golden Medical Discovery." It always helps. It almost always cures.

From the big pew dedicated to the squire's family he used to look at him with wide, mischievous eyes peeping auder a sun bonnet. On his ninth birthday the vicar's small son characterised himself by proposing to the squire's small daughter over the nursery tea tabb. "Don't stare like that," she objected, "you ugly boy!" The serious eyes of the rebuked indl ridual fillfd. just escaping the flagrancy of overflowing. "I'm sorry!" she revoked. "Etc's real sorry!" - The moment was advantageous. He took it. In a whisper: "Marry me, dear, some day?" "Course," she agreed. "Mind my arm, ltobin. You're hurting it!" . A little of this, and Jnuch more, Mr. J. Robinson Courtnay was recalling to Eve Temple in the crush of a ballroom. ' "Yes; I remembered you directly you entered the room," Eve replied to one of his questions, "and I thought" "What did you think?" he urged as she paused. "I thought Robin's grown into him self again." "What a funny impression!" he laugh ed, while a pleased glance shot from his eyes into hers. "May I ask what caused it?" "Oh, the natural melancholy of your countenance, perhaps." They laughed together. "So you are a literary firework?;' she remarked as they stood aside from the dancers. My success has been up hill work enough," he said grimly. "I used to pray but I -shall bore you?" "Not at all: Uo on. aiy next partner is crossing the room. You used to pray- To one day write a book wortny or recognition and in the interim not to drop out of your memory." It was several weeks later when Mr. J. Robinson Courtnay received an invita tion to dine with Lady Temple and her niece. Lady Temple watched them with eagle eyes and sapient conclusions. "An author, with an Income as uncer tain as the weather, together with a manner most fascinating, premeditates the ruin of my two months' chaperonage. Thank goodaess, Eve is a sensible girl! "Once years ago you promised to marry me. Will you?" he pleaded. "Oh, my dear, will you? Somehow he realized his rejection be fore it was uttered. When he left the house, there were disappointment and pride surging in his breast, which suc cessfully choked his childhood's dream and the hallowed hope of his life. One week later an eugagemcnt was formally announced between Miss Eve Templo and the Earl of Cnrston. Ere hud acted in accordance with her training. "Auntie' she exclaimed one iimniing. passing a penciled note across the break fast table, "read that:" Dear Miss Temple--I was pitcliad out of a han som on the evening I laet law you.

"We might drive around to see him this after noon on our way from Mr. Drum- mond's. When they arrived at St. Thomas' hos pital, her niece's restrained excitciueut manifested itself. She hurried after the pioneer who conducted them up stairs, leaving Lady Temple panting in the rear, with a vague regret assailing her. At the sudden sight of her the invalid half rose and then sank buck among the pillows. How good of you! he murmured. How good of you to come!" Then Lady Temple rustled in upon them. "So sorry, my dear Mr. Courtnay! What an interesting invalid you make, with your face of natural melancholy! Now, after -fluttering you, I will re proach. The bouse surgeon has just told me that you retard your own , recovery by sheer willfulness and overexcituiiility. By the way, have you heard the latest?" He expressed ignorance of all news up to date, while bis lingers caressed the blossoms lying near his hands and bis glance rested upon Eve. My niece becomes the Cduutess of Carston in a few weeks," Lady Temple informed him, with harsh distinctness. At present her head is full of the trous seau, although she feigns indifference. Sly little girl!" Auntie, don't let us weary Mr; Court nay. Marriages are all uliku and more or less uninteresting." Lady Temple accepted the hint and af fably prepared for departure. Now, don't give the doctors any more trouble," she chuttered. "I'll send you some grapes" Lady Temple's voice had got beyond the curtains. - Eve held out her hand. "Goodby, Uobin.

SETTLED FINANCIAL QUESf ION Import Customs Duties Not to be Increased at Present British Minister Satis fied With Arrangement Proto col Almost Ready to Sfen. B Telegraph to the Morning Star Washington, July 27. Confirm tion of the amplest kind of the encour aging news that has come to the press from Pekin relative to the settlement of the financial problems that have engrossed the attention of the minis ters there for many weary months, has just come to hand from special Commissioner Bockbill. Moreover, he - adds to the general iteros the news that the ministers will be ready to sign a protocol within two weeks that will result in the speedy withdrawal from China of all foreign troops except the legation guards and those who will occupy certain strategic points to be held under the treaty to safeguard the road between Pekin and the sea. The Russian government has signi fied its intention of not further press ing the question at prtsent of the eventual increase of the import cus torn duties beyond five per cent (the nresent figure). It is agreed that in case the revenues of China are not sufficient for the payment of interest and principal, the powers are to exams ine the .revenues and determine what changes are necessary in order to sup ply the deficiency. The imperial mari time customs are to oe inciuaea in mis arrangement. The British minister is satisfied with this arrangement and the whole question of financial measures is therefore settled. The 450,000,000 taels constituting the indemnify are to be converted into gold at the equivalent of the tael value on the first of ast Anril. In case the imrxrt duties are subsequently increased, the free list will have to be abousqea, except for cereals, but it is v understood that compensation will in thaf case be ask ed for, probably the financial partic ipation of China in improving the water approaches or Shanghai ana Tien Tsin. All the other principal points pf the negotiations are now set tied and it is expected that the results will be summarized in the final proto col within two weeks and that all the Powers will become signatories.

If a colored man has friends around town, he can always get a good dinner, a regular white man's dinner, for nothing. White folks don't object to their cooks giving a colored man his din ner occasionally, and if he bus a few ac quaintances who cook he gets ou very well in the eating line.

Even When a Little Boy Ilia Gcnitia Was Extraordinary. ' I last night Nov. 15, 17771 supped in Mr. Walter Scott's. He has the most ex traordinary genius of a boy I ever saw. He was reading a- poenp to. his mother when I went. in. I inii(ii4,!i.:u read on. It was the description of fliipwrwck. His passion ruse w ills ti: "sto;in. He lifted his eyes and hands. , "There's the mast gone," says he. "Trash il goes. They will all perish." After his agita tion he turns to me. "That is too melan choly," says he. "I had better read you something more amusing." I preferred a little chat and asked his opinion of Milton and other hooks he was reading, which he gave me. Wonderful indeed one of his observations was how strange it was that Adauv just new come into the world, shonld. know every thing! "That must be the poet's fancy," said he, but when he was told lie was created perfect by God himself he in stantly yielded. When lie was taken to bed last night he told his aunt he liked that lady. "What lady?" says she. "Why, Mrs. Cockburne. for I think she's a virtuoso like myself." "Dear Walter." says aunt, "what is a virtuoso?" "Don't ye know? Why, it's -one. who wishes and will know everything." Now, sir. you will think this a very silly story. Pray, what age do you sup pose this boy to be? Name it now be fore I tell you. Why. 12 or-14? No such thing. He is not quite C years old. He has a lame leg, for which he was a' year in Bath, and has acquired the per fect English accent which he has not lost since he came, and he reads like a Garrick.
