Tutt's Liver Pills If.- -I in The Home of the Plague. Ow who has soon any of tlip towns and citif in Cliimt wonders little why disease, and plague arc prevalent. A eorresjioridont who traveled in t ftina .vrites that he oneo went to Fuehau, a town near the east eost, whieh is npproaeh ed by way of the river Myn, one of tlie most pieturesqno water ways in the whole of tlie Celes tial empire. Ships have to anchor at the customs pagoda, from which per sons are conveyed to Fuehau by sampan or steam launch, the dis tance Ix-ino; alout ten miles. Kueliait is considered one of the most filthy and overcrowded towns in China, and a person landing there cannot fail to notice the fact immediately he sets foot on shore. Everywhere there are teeming musses of dirty, ragged and half starved looking Celes tials. The streets (alleyways would be a lHter term) are only about, eight feet wide, and all metaled or juived with irregular lumps of stone and rock. On each side there are stagnant gut terways, which emit most noxious tierfuines, causing one to hold a handkerchief to his nostrils the whole time he has to traverse the roads. In the terribly hot weather the Chinaman places a plank, of wood from Ins doorway 011 to the street, across the gutter, and takes his night's sleep, iierliiips without a covering, perhaps in the clothes he has not had oil for weeks. Nearly every building is a shop, and outside everv three or four are pluciil buckets of garbage in some places holes full or it which add to t he sickening stench of the gutters. Kvety now and again one hears loud shouting in front of or behind him, which is an indication that all on foot must clear the way for some chair carriers, who are carrying upon their shoulders some im portant personage. Tho sight on the main bridge spanning the river cannot be ac curately described. Each side was crowded with stalls with goods of every description --dirty (Hiking, tumble down a II airs. Cripples and beggars were nu merous, and there were also lepers; there were men with ter rible sores, and two Chinamen lay half naked on the roadway, dying. There is a law in vogue in l'uehau that yie hrst person who shall touch a man who has died in such a manner shall bury him. Very few, however, receive burial if they die on the bridge. The person who is unfortunate nough to touch the dead one waits until dark, and then, as the Americans say, "dumps" the de parted intothe river. 1 todies are found nearly every day floating among the shipping or half bur ied in the mud when the water is low. London Leader. The Power of Prayer. Nothing seems tols too great, too hard, or too difficult for pray er to do. It has obtained things that seemed imjiossible, and out of reach. It has won victory over tire, air, earth, and water. Prayer ojiened the ml sea. Prayer brought water from the rock, mid bread from heaven. Prayer made the sun stand still. Prayer brought tire from the sky on Elijah's sacrifice. Prayer turned the council of Ahithophel into foolishness. Prayer over threw tlie army of Sennacherib. Well might Mary, Queen of Scots, say: "I fear John Knox's prayers more than any army of ten thousand men." Prayer has healed the sick. Prayer has rais ed the dead. Prayer has procur ed the conversion of souls. "The child of many prayers," said an old Christian to Augustine's mother, "shall never perish." A Prominent Chicago Woman Speaks.

Around her wete gathered alinosi every d scendunt ot her line, and well within view of her dying eves there hung a portrait of the Prince Consort. In scarcely audible worls the white haired I'ixhopof Wit Ches ter pryed beside her as he had of ten prayed with his sovereign, for he whs her chaplain at Windsor. Wi'h h wed heads the imperious ruler of the (termini Empire and the nun who now is King of England, tho woin-tn who has succeeded to the title of ( leen, the Princes and Prin cusses and those of less than royal debignittion, listened to the 1'ishop's ceaseless prayer.

The queen pai-sed away quite peaceful.? and sulTered no pain, and all those who were now mourners went to their rooms. The greater event in the mem ory of this generation, the most stu pendous change in txiettng coudi- tious that could possibly be imagin ed has taken place quietly, almost gently upon the anniversary of the death of Queen Victoria' father, the Duke of Kent. The end ot this career, never equalled by any woman in the his tory of the woild, came in a simply furnished room in Oebotne House. This most respected of all women, living or dead, lay in a great four posted bed a shrunken atom whose aged face and figure were a cruel mockery ot the fairgirl who, in 1837, began to rule hngland. The body of Queen Victoria was embalmed and will probably be ta ken to Windsor Saturday. I ue Quceu is said to have bidden farewell, in a feeble monosyllab'e to her family assembled at her bedside at midday, and also recognized the Prince ot alee, to whom she spoke a few words of great moment. Then Emperor illiam and others pres ent tiled past and heard a whispered good bye. All those in the bed room were in teare.

"Home years ago at Fort Hill, Indian Territory, there wass a ( Jovernmont scout, whose name was Thomson," says Kichard Harding Davis in Kvorylxidy's Magazine. "He furninlied mo with a story of an incident which he considered was the lxst illus tration of the highest form of real courage. An Indian agent had sent in word to the post that, the Indians near him were on the lioint of an outbreak, and that he Ixdieved they hiightswoopdown njion him nt any moment, 'i hoinsoii and u Ixiy lieutenant just out from West Point were detailed to ride over to the agency arid make an inves tigation. While they were seated on the reranda of the agent's house, ami while he was riK'iting his reasons for believing an up rising was imminent, alanit two hundred Indians came galloping towards theni across the prairie. They were in war-iiafntHiid w.ir- bonnets,. ami they came yelling and brandishing their Winches ters. The Indian agent retreated to his second-story and concealed himself beneath the bed. Thom son remained seated with his feet against the rail of tho jorch, and calmly observed the advancing whirlwind of painted ixKlies, eagles' feathers, ami fluttering blankets. The Ixiy from West Point imi tated Thomson. He knew that if on their return to Jhe jxist the famous Indian tightershould give a good account of him to the old officers, his reputation would be instantly and pleasantly estab lished. That was allowing, of j course, that they ever did return ! to tbo liost. So be kept Ins feet on the railing and putted at lm cigar. The Indians fell off tite r jKinies in front of the scout, and their chief men began to loast, ami to threaten him, while the young braves kept up a wild find nerve-racking chorus of whoops and jells. T homson related what followed in this way : "I was talking to old Ked Wolf, and telling him what would hap- lien if be let loose against tho settlers. I was talking fast, for they were sure enough starting on the war path, and I knew if they weren't stopped at the start, the few of us ut t ort Sill eouldn t stop them after they got going. I was threatening him with the whole United States army, and trying to make him hear me, when the youngster from ot Point turned . his head towards me and grinned. "Thomson," he said, "who's your fat friend?" "He had Ins bands in his wit and his cigar in bis mouth, and ho pjK)ko so quiet that 1 couldn't make out what he meant, but he was looking behind me, so I turned and looked too. An old chief, weighing about three hun dred iKiunds, had slipped off his jouy ana crept up ncuiud me, and was pointing his Winchester at full cock just back of my ear. When I lurmxl my head the muz r.le punched me in the cheek. Now, what I say is, that any man that knows bo's got to die can lm cool and funny about it himself, and let on he don't cure, but a man who can bo cool and funny when his friend has got to die is a very brave man." For the benefit of those who want to know what happened after that, I can only tell them that Ked Wolf interfered in behalf of Thomson, and that he and the lieutenant were allowed to return to Fort Sill, where for many years after Thomson quotii the boy as being the bravest man of his acquaintance.

If tho project dtvelot'S into a certainty if tho N. & W. is extended wo will lose some of onr trade. Notwithstand ing this fact, The Nkws hopes the road will be extended into (irayson Ashe, Alleghany and Watanga counties. The section of onr conn try emhraced in this territory is rich and needs an ontlof, and we hope a brighter day for our friends in these mountain counties is near at hand. The News and Observer ha the following : "The Norfolk and Western Ilail- road Company will apply to the legislature for permission to extend one or more branches of its road through Carroll and (irayson coun Upr. Virginia, across the State line into Alleghany, Ashe and Watanga counties west of the blue llidgo rrwnintains where no railroads have ever been built heretofore giving to theso three counties connections with tho main line of the Norfolk and Western. These extensions will reach a very fertile agricultural Country which is rich in deposits of coppjr and iron and other minerals which have not been developed heretofore on account ot lack of transportation facilities. It would connect these counties with tho rich coal fields of Southwestern Virinia and West Virginia, giving cheap coal for mining and manufacturing puriH'fes. The Norfolk and West, rn pro poses to build this extension and branch roads in connection with it at i's own expense, only a: king the bla'e for permission to do :t is great work of development. This great road already has l,f00 milt s of rosd in operation in the States of Vir ginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Mary- laud and Pennsylvania. It owns two very important railioads in North Carolina, tho one from Lynchburg, Va., to Durham, and the other from uoarmk", a., to Winston. The company in a strong and growing corporation, and North Carolina is glad to have it build moro branches in this State. The timber, mineral, and stock raiting wealth of that section is rich beyond i i i compare, and only nccus ranroau transportation to make it one of tho most attractive seeti jus of i he State. MHj'or Win, A.

On the 27s h of Octohcr, 1 801, the Confederate forces, consisting of cavalry and artillery, numbering a!out 2,000 men, mot the Federal forces, under General Gilha'n, at Morrisfown, Term. On the day be fore Lieutenant Colonel K. V. Clark, of the Sixteenth Georgia battalion, volunteer cavalry, took 100 men and nndertook to reconnoitre the enemy. Our yidota soon discovered the foe. The entire Federal force was on a forward movement. Captain Lewia, who waa in charge of the Confederate advance, dis patched a courier to Colonel Clark, with the following inelegant hut forceful message : "Tell Colenel Clark there are too many of them f.r our sort." The 100 Confederatea fell hack to the hrst . position available, and eave the column a very wmn show er from their carbines. Seeing the small force in front of them, the Federals drew sabre and charged furiously forward. The K0 oppoa- ers had nothing in the world to do but to retreat at the top of their horses' speed. During tliat retreat the incident I am about to relate oc curred. Here the writer of this story become a party to the inch dent itself. This narrator had boon made the owner ot a pocket Bible, hearing tho imprint of the J'ritish and For eign l.ible society, which hecarritd daily in the outer pocket of his grey round about coat for many months. On that niemorablo day, and when, as on tho wings of the wind, my noble charger, Hall, was hearing me towards our main army, I lust my I'ible. I remember how its precious leaves fluttered as it settled itself on the ground. Tho picture is before me as I writo. To recover it was impossible. The rush of our chargers, tho restivenesa of rny own, caused by a luckless Spencer ritle hall that had gmzt.'d his hack for several inches and lodged in my saddle, effectually prevented the reclamation of my treasure. Ou the day following our forces were utterly routed wiiu heavy hisses in artillery wagons and pris oners. On the night of the November following the Confederates more than retrieved their losses. Our men occupied territory long held bv the toe. While yet in possession of this new foraging tii-ld the writer found a copy of the Knxvillc Whig and U :bi 1 Ventilator. Par son W. G.

I To this day, I believe the lost j Bible tny own, but I do not remem j ber tho turned down leaf, uor the j marked passage. , General Vanghan was a fine sol dier and a Christian gentleman, but j I claim tho lost Bible. j C.

Puisonel Beer Causes a Panic A cablegram from fmd'-n say: The fact that thousands of C!s die annually in this land from alco holism has not produeed a ti'he of tho txeitement created by tf a desih of sixty and the illness of on.- thous and persons within a lOo-milo rr.diu of Manchester from arsenic contain ed in b"cr. It his been etnVbiiahcJ that the cause of the polsotipg is arsenic in the sulphuric acid u-iid ia the manufacture of glucose or sugar, which the Knglish brewer employ in place of malt and bops in making cheap beer. Tbo poison h&s been traced to only one tstahliehment which supplied sugar for several breweries in the Midland and the north. The commercial aulphnric acid in this country is inado from pyrites, almost all of which come from Spain. There is always a trace of arsenic in it. Hundred of thousands of gallons of beer have been pjnred into theseweras of Liv. erpool and Manchester. Several clerks in the dead letter otlice of the Postulliee 1 leoartuient have been dismissed on charge of having bought packages at the dead letter sale, knowing in advance their contents and falnoly representing their character in tho catalogue. The scheme was unearthed by the Postmafter General in an investi gation carried on for a month. In order to avert suspicion by tho pres ence of local detectives in tho otlico during the sale, Ilecnmlier 17th laft inspectors from New York, Boston and Maryland carried on tho investi gation and located tho plot iu tho property diviion of the dead letter olliee.
