The bouse in which Stonewall Jack- sin died is now occupied by a colored man The yards are said to bo neg lected and the window panes are stuffed with rags, and general desolation reigns. All this, notwithstanding the houj-e is in plain view of passenger? on the trains that pass over the R'ch mond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad. Dr. Hunter McGuire, of Richmond, has greatly interested himself to save the property from decay, and largely through him the Stonewall Jackson Memorial Association was organized. An option has been secured to buy the property at ?5,00O. It is the design oi the association to raise $10,000, one half to be used as purchase money and the other half to keep the property in good repair. The property includes the house and one hundred acres of land, which is said to b? good. Many an old Confederate soldier, it able, would gladly contribute to the aims of the association because cf the great, love felt for Jackson. He will ever be hsj!d in high regard by Con federate eoldiers and their ..posterity for many generations, and his name will live ai one of the first military men of ths world. The question of a great national park somewhere in. the mountains oi North Carolina is being agitated. It is meeting with great approval, and It is hoped and believed by many that Congress will take proper steps for the work, which would do a great deal to wards giving an object lesson in forestry. ' " The Washington Post has said, among other things : "In any event, the location in Wes tern North Carolina oi a great national park would be a cause of more pleasure and benefit to more people than any other public institution we can think of at this moment. There, beyond all controversy, is the most beautiful, the most healthy, and the most picturesque region in the United States." Mr. James A. Hollomon, a Hertford county man, now correspondent from Washington to the Atlanta Journal, writes his paper from Washington the following interesting statement : "There is a larger total of money, gold, silver and legal tender in circula tion today than ever before in the history of this country. This state ment is warranted by the "circulation statement" Issued by the Treasury De partment for April 1, 1U00. For the first time in the history of the country the per capita circulation has crossed the $26 line, and the year 1900 carried the total for the first time past the $2,000,000,000 lino, while the. amount of gold and gold certificates in circula tion is larger than at the correspond ing date of any previous year. "The circulation statement , which is issued at the beginning oi each month, shows the total money in cir culation on April 1, 1900, to be $2,021,- 274,506, and on April 1, 1899 ip 1.927, 846,942, while on the corresponding date in 1898 it, was $ 1,756,058,645 ; on April 1, 1897, it was $1,669,000,694, and on April 1. I6ltt it was $l,o2,- 629,463. This shows an increase in total money in circulation in four years of $492,645,043. or 32 per cent. "The. per capita money in circula tion or the average amount for each individual in the United State.s, is also larger than ever before, Jbeing $2612 (calculating the present population at 77,395,000), aeainst $25.45 ore year ago, $23.b9 two years ago, $23.01 three years ago, and $21.03 on April T, 1896. The amount of gold in circulation is also greater than at any corresponding date of any preceding year, the total gold and gold certificates In circulation on April 1, 1900, being $785,845,549, against $727,748,591 on April 1, layy, $618,448,941 on April 1, 1898, $554,- 582,096 on April 1, 1897, and 489,151,- 505 oa April 1, 1896 ; the increase dur ing the four years being $29b,btr4,U4:4:, or 60 per cent. "The amount of silver in circulation, including standard silver dollars, sub sidy silver, silver certificates and treas ury notes oi lodU which were issued for the purchase of silver bullion, and are to be retired when the silver is coined and put in circulation, amounts to $631,133,689, against $626,982,804 on April 1, 1899, $610,661,729 on April 1, 1899, $569,024,775 on April. 1, 1897, and $558,524,547 on April 1, 1896."

Interesting Facts A Hour TfiE Plice and Its People Recalled In Bad Financial Straits. New York Tribune. All that has given the island of St. Helena its fame is the lact that, it was there that Napoleon spent the last six years (1815-1821) of bis life. So long as his name contin ues, to hold the place it does in human history, the little isolated volcanic cone of isrty-seven square miles, with a pop ulation of barely 4,000, will not be per mitted to sink into oblivion. The transportation of General Cronje and his men to that lonely place, more than 1,200 miles from Africa and 800 miles from the nearest island (Ascen sion) would, of couree, serve to add to it new interest and bring it once more into prominence. St. Helena was discovered in 1502 by a Portugese explorer, Juan de Noya Castilla. It was then densely wooded with redwood and ebony, but the de struction of its forests has been fol lowed by a wasting away of the soil, so that the slopes are now mostly barren Willows, poplars and other trees from the temperate zone have been intro duced. Apples, pears, grapes and po tatoes have been brought and now grow side by side with coffee and tea plants, sugar cane, cotton and bananas. The island was first settled by Portu gese deserters, who, were afterward joined by escaped slaves. Their off spring were a little later largely exter minated by the Portugese. Some of them, however, must have escaped the general slaughter, for when Sir John Cavendish, in his voyage around the world, visited St. Helena in 1858 he found it inhabited and containing a small town. In 1645 the Dutch at tempted, to establish a . settlement, but relinquished the island to the Engl ish in 1651. In 1668 the CDmmander of a homeward-bound East India fleet c) English vessels took formal possession of it in the name of Chas. II., who im mediately made it over to the East India Company. The Dutch again obtained possession in 1672, but the next year it was recaptured by CaptaiD Richard Munden with three . ships. Since that time the island has , re mained a British possession. The East India Company invited settlers to emigrate from England to St. Helena, and numbers of families which had been reduced to beggary by the great firevin London took advan tage of the offer of free land, which was assigned to them provided they would cultivate it within aix months. Slaves were also introduced from Mad agascar. Being situated on the direct track of vessels bound from the East to England around the Cape of Good Hope it soon became an important port of call lor a large number of ves sels. The chfef source of income of the inhabitants was derived from sup plying fresh provisions to the ships that put in at the port. A large gar rison was also kept up, there being at one time nearly 12,000 'men stationed there. Between 1815 and 1821 the British ' Government withdrew the island from the East India Company, its chief use during that period being as a prison for Napoleon. In 1822 the East India Company resumed its juris diction over it, but in 1834 itJbecame a crown colony. The island continued to prosper un til the opening of the Suez canal. This altered the route to the East Indies, thus depriving the inhabitants of their means of livelihood. The introduc tion of steam navigation also made it unnecessary for vessels to touch at that point. The island also received another blow in the reduction of the garrison and of the naval squadron which had been kept up for the suppression of the slave trade. The inhabitants fell into poverty, having nothing to de pend upon but the precarious sale of supplies of American whalers , which sometimes make St. Helena a port of call. It is now a British admiralty coaling station, to which the Cape and West Indian squadrons sometimes re sort. One battery of Royal Artillery and one company of infantry are also stationed there. Almost throughout its entire circumference of twenty eight miles the island presents to the eye an unbroken wall of cliffs, varying from 500 1,000 feet in height. James towii, the capital of the island, is built in a ravine which has almost vertical 8ldes,i t.he height to the east being called ttuperl's Hill, and that to the west Ltdder Hill. These two moun- L0?OEIXA. " tains gradually recede from one another until at the tea, where they end in perpendicular cliffs. The ravine is 350 feet broad. The triangular space is abont one and a quarter miles long, and is defended by fortifications at the entrance of the ravine. Ladder Hill gets its name lrom the steep wooden steps known as Jacob's Ladder, which lead directly to its summit, 600 feet in height, One of the chief objects of interest in St. Helena is the house at Long wood in which Napoleon passed his captivity. The plateau of Longwood is about 2,000 feet above the level of the sea and bounded by deep ravines It is on the Rupert Hill sMe of the ravine in which Jamestown is built. Heie are the long, low buildings in which Napoleon lived and the new houses which be did not live to oc cupy. Hero also is Marshal Betrand's cottage. Napoleon's tomb Is in Slane's valley, about a mile from Longwood But the body was removed to France in a man-of-war by the Prince de Joiuville in 1$40, and now lies under the dome cf the Hotel des Invalides in Paris. Perhaps the taking of General Cronje and his men to St. Helena would restore to it some of its former prosperity. For some years the island has been getting deeper and deeper into financial straits, and the Popula tion has been, steadily diminishing. In 1871 the inhabitants numbered 6,444 ; ten years latei the population was 5,059, while by the census of 1819 It was only 4,116, including tfce garrl son.1 According to the "Statesman's Year Book" there are only about one hundred births a year and about seventy-five deaths. However, about two hundred persons annually emigrate to the United States and to South Afriaa. Cronje and his men would, help to bring tbese numbers up again. It is said that this is one of the most salu brious spots on the face of the earth, and the longevity of those who re main there is great. SST-atl ! Jill A Leper at Large in New York. The Sun. 8th. Charles Serrattero, a Sicilian sign maKer, 18 years old, of 123 Elizabeth street, called at Bellevue Hospital yes terday afternoon. He said he had not been feeling well for some, and wanted to find out what was the matter with him.

A fox digging behind a stump found abumblebee. The fox put the bum blebee in his bag, and travelled. The first house he came to he wett in, and said to the mistress. "Can I leave my bag here while I go to Squir. tum's? "Yes," said the woman. "Then be careful not to open the bag." said the fox. But as soon as the fox was out of sight tho woman just took a little peep into the bag, and out flew the bumble bee, and the rooster caught. him and ate him all up. After a while the fox came back. He took up his bag, and be saw that his bumblebee was gone, and he said to the woman, "Where is my bumble bee T" And the woman said, "I just untied tht string and the bumblbee.flew out and the rooster ate him up." "Very well." said the fox ; '-I must have the rooster, then." " So he caught the rooster and put him in his bag, and travelled. And the next house he came to he went in and said to the mistress of the house, "Can I leave my bag heie while I go to Pquintuni'a?" "Yes," said the woman. "Then be careful not to open the bag," said the fox. But as soon as the fox was out of sight the woman just took a little peep into the bag, and the rooster flew out and the pig caught him and ate him up. After a while the fox came back. He took up his bag and he saw that his rooster was gone, and he said to the woman, "Where is my rooster? - And the woman said, "I just untied the string, and the rooster flew out and the pig ate him up." "Very well," said the fox ; "I must have the pig." So he caught tho pig and put him in his bag. and travelled. And the next Tioree he came to he went in, and said to the mistress ot the house, "'Can I leave my bag here while I go to Squintum's?" "Yes," said the woman. "Then be careful not to open the bag," said the fox. But as soon as the fox w as out of sight the woman just took a little peep into the bag, and the pig jumped out and the ox gored him. After a while the fox came back. He took up his bag, and he saw that his pig was gone, and he said to the woman, "Where is my pig?" And the woman eaid, "I just untied the string, and the pig jumped out, and the ox gored him." "Very well," said the fox, "I must have the ox, then." So he eaught the ox and put him in his bag, and travelled, And the next house he came to he went in, and said to tbemlstres3 ot the house, "Can 1 leave my bag hare while I go to Squintum's?" "Yes," said the woman. 5EVEN RUNNING - BY Johnston's Sarsaparilla QUART BOTTLES. THE GREAT SPRING MEDICINE. ' JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA as a Blood . Food and Nerve Energizer, is the greatest SPRING MEDICINE ever discovered, ft comes as a rich blessing from heaven to the " worn out," the run dow, the overworked and" debilitated. That " tired feeling," those "sinking spells," the languor and despondency which arise from badly nour ished nerves, from thin, vitiated blood and an' underfed.body, vanish as if by a magic spell. The weariness, lassitude and nervous prostration which accompany ths spring, time and the heat of summer, are conquered and banished at once. For every form of neurasthenia, and all ailments of the brain and nerve, insomnia, hysteria and nervousness generally, it is almost a specific. It furnishes the very elements to rebuild worn-out nsrv? tissues. It feeds brain, nerve centers and nerves, calming and equalizing their action; it makes rich, red, honest blood. Newness of life, new hope, new strength follow its faith ful use. It makes the weak strong, and the old young again. It was the antiquated (but now happily exploded) method fn the good old times, to treat Salt Rheum, Scrofula, Cancer and other troublesome, disorders arising from BLOOD TAINT with powerful alteratives, such as mercury, arsenic and other mineral agents, it was expected by this treatment that the poison could be killed while the blood was left to course through its channels holding in its circulation the sjeciftc germs of the disease. But in this way, every part of the body became more or less diseased. Noth ing can be more terrible than a horribly destructive blood taint. It not only attacks viru lently the different structures of the body, but many times the bones are honey-combed and destroyed. 1 It often seeks out the nerves and spinal cord, and again it will bring de cay and death to some vital organ, as the kidneys, liver or stomach. There is only one scientific method for the cure of blood taint. That Is, PURIFICATION 1 Every particle of the blood must be removed through the execretory channels, the lungs, kidneys, bowels, liverand skin. " First pure, then peaceable." The great restorative, reconstructive and vitalizerof the blood, JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA, not only radically and ex haustively removes the taint, but also removes ail mercury, calomel and other minerals, and fills the veins and arteries with the ruby, glowing current of vitality. "The blood is the life." Good health means pure blood. The old and reliable remedy, JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA, is universally regarded as the greatest Blood Purifier ever discov ered. This fact is now established beyond question cr cavil. BLOOD FOISOX C1TRE0 BT JOHXSTOX'S SAR9 APARILfA. Byron, Mich., October 31, 1894.

It corrects Inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night.
