Two Choctaw Indians, who had
in their possession a considerable
sum of money, were killed by
highwayman in the Indian Terri•
tory,
The defunct Bank of London Las
paid S5e. on the $1, and will pay
something more, but it is difficult
to convert the remaining assets
into cash. Tho result is better
than was at first hoped for.
When the great fire in Chicago
brought ruin and desolation to
thousands of persons, the response
of other towns and cities to the
els for help was prompt. Chica-
go .seems to have forgotten this
fact, for wo learn that up to date
the "fund • for the relief of the
sufferers by the Johnston calamity
has received from Chicago $000,-
000,000.00."
The Sioux Indians who have so-
jurned in the Canadian North-west
for the past twelve years, as re-
fugees from Minnesota and Dako-
ta, are to be allowed by the U. S.
Gosernment to return to their
old stamping grounds. These In-
dians have led a wretched exis-
tence in exile, with the disapear-
ance of game, and having no claim
to rations.
For a debt of $15 he could not

Fung Hop, a C

Eby thiree-or four kir; ffGinders late
Sundaynight in a street in China-
town. • Hoy borrowed the money
on the Chinese New year to square
his accounts. Sunday afternoon
Tom Poy,who loaned it,demanded
his' money. Il.oy could not pay,
and, Tom threatened vengeance.
He engaged two highbinders and
the three tell upon Hoy with
hatchets and knives and left him
lying mangled and dying on the
sidewalk:- When••the-victim was
taken to a hospital it was found
that he had fourteen wounds, of
which any one of the six on his
bead would cause death. He died
as the surgeons finished their ex-
amination. Two of the murderers
are arrested and the .third is
known.
Janes Bennett, submarine div-
er, employed in clearing up Rock-
port harbor, near Boston, gave an
astonishing exhibition of pluck
on Fridry. He was at work un
der 12 feet of water. The chain
slipped from 12 ton of rock, and
the mass fell back upon • his log,
crushing it and pinioning him
there. Without giving any signal
of distress, he did the only thing
possible— replaced the chain as
best he could and signalled to hoist.
A second time the rock fell. This
time it took the poor fellows leg
completely off. With the nerve of
a hero, ho hobbled about until he
had secured the chain again, and
the rock was hoisted. Then' be al-
lowed himself to be raised to the
• surface. The doctor thinks he will
recover.
' No more touching proof of the
universal sympathy that flowed
out to the Johnstown sufferers was
given than the subcription of the
convicts in the eastern Peniten-
tiary of Pennsylvania. They are
only allowed weekly papers, and
so did not know until the follow-
. ins,-t'
Wednesday. As soon as they
read the story, numbers of them
were heard knocking on ' their
wickets to tell they wanted to
give some of their earnings.
- These they make by working ex-
tra time, half going to the country
from which the convict comes and
half to the man himself. The
maximum that can be made in a
week is '$1. Out of the- 1,110
prisoners. 5.13 gave $512.913. or
an average of almost a dollar pe,r
man, •One old man - had $15 to
his credit and wanted to give the
whole of it. Ile said:—"I have
been doing crooked work nearly
all my life and I. wan t 'to do some-

CATARRH,
CATARRHAL DEAFNESS—HAY FEVER
A NM -HOME TREATMENT.
Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
aro due to the presence of living parasites
in the lining, membrane of the nose and
eustachian tubes. Microscopic research,/
however, has proved this to be a fact, and
the result of this discovery is that a
simple remedy has been formulated where-
by catarrh, catarrhal ,deafr.ess r.nd hay
fever are rernianently cured in from one
to three simple applications m„w'.e at home
by the patirnt once in two weeks.
N.B —This treatment is nota snuff or

HOW THEY FIND GOLD 1N
SOUTH AFRICA.
Something like the excitement
over alle.seir discoveries of gold in
Lower California is attending
lar news from the Transvaal,
in South Africa. The diggings
there are reported to be enormous-
ly rich, and a swarm of prOSpec-
toi s is flocking to the field. As
revealing a hitherto unsuspected
vein of im:talnation and ligbtsame
humor on the pal:t of the Boet:s,
the current story of the discovery
of the gold field is iii eresting.—
It was first published in the Trans-
vaal Advertiser.
A well-known resiuent of the
republic, it is said, whiteout hunt-
ing one morning, saw a koodoo
bull, which he tried to stalk. Af-
ter he had slightly wounded the
animal, and while he was riding
after it down a stony declivity-, his
horse stumbled, he was thrown
and his rifle was broken. At
this the koodoo turned and attack-
ed the man, knocking him down
and attempting to kneel on him.
By holding the animal's forelegs
the man kept the buck upright,
but the animal's horns had evi-
dently entered the bank for some
distance and its head was hold
down close upon the man's breast.
The animal seemed as anxious as
the man to get the horns loose,
.hu.t~.seas. xi. ends;,. -.h 1piQ5a, .the._
horns being • held fast -to T'th-e-
ground. Held thus, unable. to
move, man and beast remained in
the broiling sun alt that day.—
At nightfall jackals and wolves
camp prowling about, and even
brushed against the man and
sprang upon the buck. But the
yells of the man•and the kicks of
the buck kept them at bay until
dawn, when they slunk away.—
Soon after daylight a rifle "shot
was heard,' ami 'a bullet slightly
wounded the man in the forehead.
By wap ing his handkerchief, and
shouting he prevented further fir-
ing, and the hunter, who had at
first seen only the buck, came up
ar,d learned the real situation.
Wishing to take the animal alive,
he.hurt,'ied off to the nearest farm
and brought back men with ropes
and shovels, who bound the buck
and extricated the man. But
when the horns were at last freed
there were found upon each a
mass of metal, 'which, being re-
moved, proved to bo nuggets of
gold, weighing respectively
eight and six and one.half pounds.
This led to the discovery of a rich
gold field.
Any one doubting the entire
accuracy of this story can make
further inquiries at tho office of
•the Transvaal Advertiser.

his old employer will watch his
course and he will see that they
learn of all his success—it is likely
that in a few years he will be called
back and have a command given
him. It is very little a matter of
personal pull, this appointment
of Captains. Tho man who knows
his business gets there. No mat-
ter how gruff or unpopular, no
matter what are any of his per-
sonal peculiarities, if be under-
stands his business and gets
stnoothly over the sea he is pretty
sure of promotion. Of course, as
between two men equally capable
in seamanship, the one who has
friends and friend -winning quali-
ties is preferred. The company
has a largo eye to business in this
matter, and it knows that a rich
passenger often learns to like a
Captain and will sail on whatever
ship he rules. Catherine Loril-
land Wolfe,for example, who used
to travel a great deal, always took
a certain ship because it was com-
manded by a Captain she had
learned to like and in whom she
had confidence. So it is with
many other rich people who cross
frequently.
A captain does not got all the
education which makes him cap-
able of assuming command of an
Umbria, a City of Paris, a' La
Champagne, merely, from the
outdoor experience of the deck.
There must be_mueh : rtud
bogie:" die mpst know something
of the art of ship building, of engi-
neering ; ho must know a good
deal of the science of meteorology ;
he must bo master of the moods of
old ocean, the currents and lanes!
as discovery has set them forth ;1
he must have the niatbomaties of
navigation completely under con-
trol, and ho must have a general
knowledge of the politics and laws
of ,high seas,,.., In fine, the sea
Captain has got to be an educated
man as well as a brace sailor.
The examination which is given
by the English Government under
theauspices of the Board of Trade
is rigid, and it is not every appli-
cant who can pass it and get the
certificate showing that he is
worthy of beingmade a captain.
Most of the great captains are
of English birth. Though there is
nothing to prevent an American
from taking the English examina-
tion and being made a boss of one
of the big boats, y of there is a pre
judice on the other side in. favour
of the British sailor. This was
manifested when the crew of the
City of New York was made up.
It was said then that the English
Government required that all the
'risen should be subjects of the
.crown.
The commander of one of the.
Atlantic steamships carrying
hundreds and• hundreds of lives
and big fortunes in merchandise
and incalculable values represent-
ed in, bags of mail, is a great man.
He is absolute ruler of a small
town for from six days to two
weeks, according to the length of
the voyage. , The preservation of
the ship,which may be worth $1,-
000,000 or more, the safety- of the
passengers and of the freight .and
mail, depends solely- upon him.
He must govern the crew more
wisely,shrewdly, and sternly than
a -general must control his army;
he must bo prepared •to•withstand
the forces of air and ocean with as
much r. kill and alertness as the
leader of an army must show
against a surrounding enemy. His
responsibility never ends,not even
when he is asleep. Sometimes
the dangers which beset hini for-
bid any attempt at sleep, and
hour after hour the Captain must
stand upon his high bridge, expos-
ed to all manner of storms. Often
has a cot imander come into port
from -a perilous journey, during
which for' two days and nights he
has not left the bridgo,except four
or five times, ,and only for five
minutes at a, time. Yet- for all
this reponsibility the Captain does
not get large pay. What salaries
the ditl'ercrit lines give these men,
to whom they eutiust so mneb
that is precious — human life,
valuable cagoes,and costly vessels
—ate almost insignificant. Sel-
doin may -you find a commander
who receives more than $5,000;
often 'it is less than that and fre-
quently it is as low as $2,000 a
year.
Despite their relatively- small
salaries there is probably not a
commander of an ocean -liner who
has not been around the world as
a common sailor,a mate and finally
a master of u ship. In fact, it
`would be difficult tp get the com-
mand of a transatlantic ship with-
out having been previously the
Captain of' some sort of a large
sailing vessel. Some of the eom•
panics have a rule requiring that
a candidate for a- captaincy shall
have served as u captain some-
where, and it is only a little while
asto that a sailor on one of tho big-
gcst boats between New York and
Liverpool, who had climbed up
from the bottom to the high, rank
of, first officer—the second in
authority—left the company with
which ho had matte his progress
solely that ho might take a place
as Captain on a smaller and less
important vessel. Ile dill thiss be-
cause he wants :some day to he a
Captain with. the first company, if
he 5ncr•oeds in his now birth—Hurl

LIVE- STOCK JUDGES.
The following, frotn the London
Advertiser, expresses our senti-
ments exactly ;—
• No more important- matter can
engage the attention of the man-
agers of our fairs,great and small,
than the selection of judges. Es-
pecially is this' true in the live
stock department. Thorough
competence and strict impartiality
constitue the desired qualification
but unfortunately the combination
is not always on hand to distribute
the honors of the prize ring. So
much injustice has often been
committed by judges that many
breeders have refused for years
past to exhibit, their animals.
The prizes have frequently been
given to the fattest animals ro-
gardl'ess of their pedigree°, breed-
ing, proper harmony- and super.,
iority of points, and especially
their anatomy, Unless the ap-
pointed'judges are practically well
acquainted with the breed of each
animal submitted to their award,
they are incapable of deciding
aright. To obtain fair judgments
as. to tho merits of animals, let the
society of -cacti breed of animals
appoint or recommend to the fair
boards the judges. A man may
be an excellent breeder and judge
as to the points of a Shorthorn,
but indifferent as to Hereford,
Holstein, Aberdeen -Angus, or
Ayrshire. ' Few, oven of the best
and most experienced cattle
breeders of ono particular sort,aro
°capable of ,fudging correctly as to
all breeds of cattle.
ABOUT HORSES.
Never overload the colt. Balky
horses aro made in just this way.
Where there is lime rock there
is a natural soil for bi coding hors-
es.
It is the surest way to got the
mare in foal to take her to the
sire when the colt is nine days
old,
When the colt is three days old
the mare can go to the field and
do her part. Tho colt may be
left in the stable and allowed to
suckle in the middle of the day,
or it may follow the dam if the
work is near by. In no case
should the mare be heated.
Last week n London top nship
farmer called Veterinary Surgeon
Blackwell, of London, to attend
to a three or four inch -cut in the
side of a horse which had been
running in the bush. The sur-
prise of the owner can bo imagine.l
when a piece of fence rail about
a foot in length was removed
fro i tho animal's interior. The
wood had kept close. to the ribs,
and to that fact is"nttrihntotl the
saving of the animal': life. it. is
holt• imprnving.

medical knowledge and experience. With a view of making this experience auailable to the public the Hospital
Remedy Co. at great expense secured the prescriptions of these hospitals, prepared the specifics, and although it
would cost from $25 to $100 to,secure the attention ,of their distinguished originators, yet in this way their pre-
pared specifics are offered at the price of the quack patent medicines thatood the market and absurdly claim to cure
