SlssowAy, Deo. 12th, 1897.
DEAR Sins,—My object in writing this let.
!tier is to give a word of advice to those who
ntempiate going to the Yukon gold fields,
'For ten years I have followed the occupation
Of prospeoting, timber estimating and min-
thg,and the hardships and privations which
qne would have to undergo, are enough to
Wreck the strongest constitution. In the
spring of 1897 I was stricken with pleurisy,
a.;aa a result of exposure. I reoovered from
this, but it left behind the seeds of disease
which manifested themselves in the form
of heart and kidney troubles. I managed
to reach Vanoonver,but did not have much
hope of recovery. I was advised, however,
to give Dr. Williams Pink Yills a trial and
at first purchased but two boxes. Before
these were gone I found beyond a doubt
that they were holding me, and their con-
tinued use "put me on my feet again," to
use a common expression. I then engaged
to go to Yukon country and only those who
have made trip to Dawson City can form
even the faintest conception of the hard-
ships that have to be . borne in making the
trip. Before starting I added to my outfit
two dozen boxes of Dr.William's Pink Pills
and I can honestly say no part of my outfit
proved of such invaluable service to me,and
I would strongly urge every man who goes
in to take a supply with him, as he will
find, the need of such a tonin and upholder
of the system on many occasions. I went
in and returned to this place by the Dalton
trail, which consisted of 350 miles of old
Indian trail, starting at Pyramid Harbor.
In going over the trail, one has at times to
wade through mud more than a foot
deep, and ford streams waist deep in ice

kon my weight was only 140 poun'le, and I
now weigh 169 pounds, thanks to Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills.
I am soon starting for another trip to
Dawson by the same route. This time,
however, the travelling will be on snow-
shoes, and you may depend upon it Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills will again form part
of my outfit.
I write this letter for the two -fold purpose
of letting you know what your medicine
has done for me and urging those who go
in to take a supply with them. Every man,
whether he is siok or well, who undertakes
the trip to the Yukon will require some-
thing to brace him and keep his constitu-
tion sound in that country. I may say that

wife now resides.

TRIPS OF A SLAVER.
THE WANDERER'S TWO VOYAGES TO
THE AFRICAN OOAST.
Her Commander Was Admiral semmee'
Brother—She Landed Two Cargoes Sao.
easefully—Tho Story as It Is Told by
One of the Owners.
Captain A. 0, MoGhee of Columbus,
Ge., was one of the four owners of the
slave ship Wanderer. Captain Semmes, a
brother of Admiral Semmes of the Confed-
erate cruiser Alabama, was commander of
the ship.
In the early summer of 1858 a regatta
was arranged to Dome off in Brunswick
harbor, on the Georgia coast, and owners
of vessels north and south were invited to
participate in it. Just before the big day
a strange vessel Bailed into the harbor, and
the captain gave his name as Semmes and
the name of his vessel as the Wanderer,
hailing from New Bedford. Ile applied for
permission to race, but was ruled out by
the managers. The beautiful lines of his
vessel attracted much attention, and her
sailing qualities were manifest. Captain
Semmes protested that he had not been
fairly treated and appeared to be very in-
dignant over the refusal, but his indigna-
tion was assumed. He had really gone
there to familiarize himself with the vari-
ous passages between the bays and sounds
of the Georgia coast and the main without
exciting suspicion. He had sailed up the
Great Og000hee river, which was not much
frequented by. vessels at that time, and
had found a suitable hiding place in case
of emergency in a dense swamp about 40
miles up the river.
Having completed his arrangements for
the outward voyage, he took on a cargo of
trinkets, braes wire, bright colored cloths
and other gewgaws that were likely to
tempt the African savages, and placed in
the lockers of the ship flags of all the dif-
ferent maritime nations, so that the Wan-
derer might show any colors she chose.
Then be placed her in charge of a pinked
crew and instructed his first mate to pro-
ceed to the mouth of the Kongo river and
await his appearance. Captain Semmes
himself took passage on a steamer and
reached a point on the Afrioan coast, where
he communicated with Kin gg Dahominey,
the petty ruler of one of te river prov-
inces lying along the Kongo. "Sing
Dahominey was not a hard man to deal
with," said Captain McGhee, to speaking
of the expedition, "and as be was very fond
Of personal display and a great lover of
rum it was not long before he and Cap-
tain Semmes bad oome to an agreement.
The latter had taken along with him on
the steamer a small stook of trinkets, and,
to disarm euspicion, had given out that he
was going on a combination trading and
exploring tour. A judicious exhibition of
the trinkets, and the assurance that there
were plenty more to be bad, induced the
savage chief to agree to deliver on a cer-
tain date, at the mouth of the Kongo, 750
of his subjects, between the ages of 13 and
18 years. The males cost a little mere
than the females, and the prices ranged
from $1 to $2 a bead, paid for ip bright
hued cloth, trinkets and gewgaws, King
Dahominey appeared to find little difficult/
in securing the captives, and, at the time
appointed, they were marched down to tho
mouth of the river, a crowd of miserable,
naked young men and women and boys
and girls.
"The death rate among the poor crea-
tures was terrible, 50 of them dying during
the homeward passage. 7.brough the
skill of Captain Semmes the voyage was
made without any serious mishap. The
most difficult part of the voyage was to get
into port. Tho only way to enter the
mouth of the Savannah river was under
the black muzzles of the guns of the fort
and it would have been madness to attempt
to enter with that contraband cargo in
open daylight. Instead Captain Semmes
crept into the mouth of the Great Ogoechee
by night and ascended the river to the big
swamp and there lay concealed while he
communicated with Lamar in Savannah.
"Lamar thereupon announced that he
was going to give a grand ball in honor of
the officers and garrison of the fort, and
insisted that the soldiers, as well as their
superiors, should partake of the good
pheer. When the gayety was at its height,
the Wanderer stole into the river and pass-
ed the guns of the fort unchallenged in
the darkness and made her way to La -
mar's plantations, some distance up the
river. Tee human cargo was soon disem-
barked and placed under the charge of the
old ricefleld negroes, who were nearly as
savage as the now importations. Attempts
were made to put clothes on the savages,
but they looked upon the garments with
aversion, and some time was required to
induce them to wear even the scant gar-
ments of tho slaves of the rice plantations.
They were kept there for several months
and then taken to New Orleans, where
slaves that had been purchased for a few
beads and bandanna handkerchiefs were
sold in the market for from $600 to $700
apiece. The owners of the vessel paid Cap-
tain Semmes $3,500 for bis servioes and
cleared upward of $10,000 apiece on the
venture for themselves. A year had been
required to maks the voyage, and Captain
Semmes certainly earned his salary be-
cause of the hazardous nature of the expe-
dition.
"In the spring of 1859 the Wanderer
again sailed for the west coast of Africa,
and again Captain Semmes found King
Dabomineyready to trade on the most lib-
eral terms. On the second occasion he
had to go farther up the river to secure the
cargo, but be succeeded in delivering 600
captives at the mouth of the river. Anum-
ber o them died during the voyage, and
the Wanderer was put to her best speed on
several occasions to got away from unde-
sirable acquaintances, but she was never
overhauled, and she arrived off tbo Georgia
coast in December. Lamar was again
notified, and be gave another big ball and
a second time the Wanderer ascended the
Savannah river under cover of a dark
night, and her cargo was disembarked at
Lamar's plantations and turned over to the
old rioofloid negroes.
"Tho nature of tho last cargo brought
home by the Wanderer became noised about
and an investigation was mado which
caused the arrest of a number of. the par-
tioiponts in the affair, and the trials that
followed caused a great sensation through-
out the nation, although nobody suffered
seriously.
"The profits were quite as large as from
the first expedition, and, but for the break-
ing out of the war and the blockading of
the port at Savannah, the Wanderer might
have made another voyage in 1860. As it
was, she was hemmed up in the river by
the blookade and finally sold to the Con-
federate government. "—Atlanta Con New

LEE ON THE CAVALRY.
To Its Absence He Attributed the Looe of
the Battle of Five Forks.
A number of Confederate veterans hap-
pened together the other night, and, as is
often the case, they began to quiz and jolly
each other about the respective value of
the cavalry and artillery during the im-
portant engagements of the war. Colonel
William Laughlin was a cavalryman for
four years, and he naturally has a tender
spot for the value of his department of the
groat army. The colonel listened for a bit
until the opposition got in the height of
their argument, when he quietly pulled
the following letter on them, which was
written by General Robert E. Lee to Gen -
oral Wade Hampton, a oopy of which Gen-
eral Hampton had sent to Colonel Laugh-

My DEAR GENERAL—I was very much grati-
fied yesterday at the reception of your letter
of the 5th ult. I have been very anxious con-
cerning you and could obtain no satisfactory
information. You cannot regret as much se I
did that you were not with us at our final
struggle. The absence of the troops which I
had sent to North and South Carolina was, 1
believe, the immediate cause of onrtdisaster
Our small force of cavalry (a large portion of
the men who had been sent to the interior to
winter their horses had not rejoined their reg-
iments) was unable to resist the united Federal
cavalry under Sheridan, which obliged me to
detach Pickett's division to Fitz Lee's support,
weakening my main line, and yet not accom-
plishing my purpose. 1f you had been there
with all of our cavalry, the result at Five
Forks would have been different. • " * That
every happiness may attend yon and yours is
the sincere wish of your friend,

Looking Indian.
Somebody dropped a stickpin in the hall
the other day and had hard work to find
it. She hunted high and low, and on her
hands and knees, and with a candle spe-
cially procured for the purpose, but it was
no use; tho pip was very tiny and unper-
ceivable, its value being that of association
ij,x ,or man size or brilliancy. The some -
1 say, .-.'. Vgnal shake of the rugs, was
just about to give it up forever when one
of the children chanced to come along.
"Why don't you look 'Indian' for it?" he
asked. Elofore the somebody ,realized
what was meant down dropped the young-
ster on "the floor, his head and his whole
body lying sidewise and just as close to
the dead level as possible. In this position
his eyes roved rapidly over the floor; "I
have it," he shouted presently, and sure
enough, right in the middle of the floor,
in so plain a place that it bad escaped 110-
tice, was the missing stickpin. The
youngster then explained that "looking
Indian" meant putting the head to the
ground in order to catch sight of the
smallest objeot between oneself and the
horizon. "They do it on the plains all the
time," he said. "That's why tbWy can al-
ways tell who's coining. But ieworks in

Fostoftiea Humor.
The London Mail gives some striking
samples of "postoflice humor," extracted
from a circular issued from St. Martin's -
le -Grand. The oircular conveys instruc-
tions as to tbo way compound words are
to be reckoned for telegraphic purposes
and gives lists of such compounds which
are to be charged for as one word or two,
as the case may be. Seldom has a sub-
limer specimen of official muddle headed-
ness issued from a government office. For
instance, "mother-in-law" is to be treated
as one word; "foster -mother" as two,
"Alo" is ono word, "Al" is two, "up-
etalrs" Is one word, "downstairs" is two,
"cabinetmaker" is one word, "trunk -

"toy -dealer" is two, "table -cloth" one,

"won't" and "shan't" are each ono word,
but "haven't," "hasn't," "didn't" and
"shouldn't" are each two; finally, "twen-
ty pence" is one word and "forty pence"
is two. If The Mail would pursue its re-
searches a little further and discover the
name of tho genius who drew up this list,
and the precise sum per annum which
the state is paying for his valuable serv-
ices, it would increase its claim to the
public gratitude.—London Truth.

culture there, particularly of wheat -grow-
ing, The country bas been depending
rather on lumbering and kindred industries
to the neglect of the farm. The average
ield of wheat in New Brunswick seems to
be much higher per acre then in Ontario,
chiefly because of a more liberal use of ma-

from the blood. It allays inflammation and
dispels pain. It is the great blood-fnaker
and flesh -builder, ' It does not make cor-
pulent people more corpulent. Unlike cod
liver oil, it does not build flabby flesh, but
tears down the unhealthy, half- dead tis-
sues that constitute corpulency, carries
them away and excretes them, replacing
them with the firm tissues of health.
Thousands have testified to its merits.

"1 have been afliictcd with rheumatism and
kidney trouble," writes Mr. C. 13. White, of
Grove, Geauga Co., Ohio. "I suffered untold
pain. I was afraid I would lose my mind. At
times was almost entirely helpless. There had
not been a night for three years that I could rest
in any, position. I tried Dr. Pierce's 'Golden
Medical Discovery. I used three bottles of it
and ant welt of both diseases."
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure con-
stipation. Constipation is the cause of
many diseases. Cure the cause and you
cure the disease. One " Pellet " is a
gentle laxative, and two a mild cathar-
tic. Druggists sell theta and there's
nothing else "just as good."

The onerous duties that fall tp the lob of
a nurse, the worry, care, Loss of sleep,

Guelph, Novi 23rd, 1697.
The Sloan Medicine Co., Hamilton,
DEAR SIRS:—For years I was troubled with periodioal sick headaches, being af•
footed usually every Sunday, and used all the remedies that were advertised as cure/
and was treated by almost every dootor in Guelph. but without any relief. One dootou
told me It was caused by a weak stomach, another said it was hereditary and incurable,
I was induced by a neighbor to try Sloan's Indian Tonle, and am happy to say I did so.
A few doses gave immediate relief, and one bottle and a half made a complete euro.
This was three years ago and the headaches have never returned. I was also troubled
with asthma, and nothing helped me like your Sloan's Indiau•Tonio. I can heartily
recommend it to all and will be glad to give any particulate to any one affiioted as I was.
