periods of that disease, the cough is
wonderfully relieved by this medicine.

This wonderful preparation once saved

sweats, was greatly reduced in flesh,
and given up by my physician. Otte

The docturs said I was in consumption,

some of the times I've seen," she
said. ''I wouldn't think it would
interest anybody, but you're wel-
come. It wag thirty years ago we
moved into tile backwoods, forty
miles frotit t,vory where, almost. Our
nearest neighbor W118 five miles
away. We didn't go to town only
once in a loug tithe—when we had
milling to do, or were obliged 'o go.
Once our matches gave out., in be-
tweeu tinges, and, my husband was
tl )w- 1 sick and couldn't go to town.
I ti led faithfully to keep fire from
nue lural to another, and when I
was done cooking 1 covered up the
coals in the flee -place with a bed of
ashes; but one morning when I got
up and fixed to cook breakfast every
spark of the fire was cut. There
was no help for it. I had to go to
the next neighbor's aud borrow fire.
A ten•mile walk before breakfast
ain't the most fun in the world, ex-
cept to folks that does it Lir amvse-
ruent. I had two little babies then,
one 5 months old and one three
years, and I left my husband to look
after them the best he could, and
took my bundle of pine splinter's
and hurried away. ' I got along all
right going there, but it took me a
long time, and 1 was so anxious
about home, knowing that the child-
ren were hungry, you know, and I
didn't stop to sit down, but just lit
one or two of my ping splinters and
started out at once. I carried the
bundle of spliuters uuder niy arm,
and would put a new one in every
tilne my torch began to burn Iow.
"I hadn't got mole than a mile
front our neighbor's house when I
heard it lung. wild scream in the
woods over to my right. It fright-
ened lee almost to death, for I
thought it was a woman being hurt
or perhaps murdered, and I stopped
and screamer), too, hopit.g she
would hear and answer. Would I
have gone to her ? \Vhy, of course
I would. 'What else could I have
done? You gentlemen most think
women a ()neer tot. Rut I didn't
hear any answer though I waited
some limp, nod shouted again and
again ; so 1 mended my torch and
went on. I had gone about half a
mile, I should think, when I heard
the scream again It was a long,
shivering scream, different from any-
thing I heard before, and I was cer
tain now that it was the cry of a
wild animal. It was much nearer
me This time, and on the left. Tho
animal,whatever it was, had crossed
the road, and was following me aud
circling around me as I went.
"0 he yes; of sourer -I •was fright-
ened 1 I hall grown accustomed to
hear wildcats and wolvee, but this
wits a new experience. I started
running, and I was so light, and ac
tive that I could run fast. I kept it
R
up for at least a quarter of a mile,
aud then 1 paused a woweut to get
lily breath and to listen. Nut twee•
ty yards behind rue a huge yellow
crouture sprung across the road, and
the uext moment I heard its scream
agaiu.
"1 811W ruuuing W 15 useless. I
kept lay tuurcb going, aud walked
on as bravely as I could. I don't
know why I didu't tura gray on
that walk. It was Worse agony than
being torn to pieces all at once,
don't you see 1 Now its scream)
would eu0nd from cue Nide, 0021'
from the other, sutl sunietlmes I
wools) Fee it slinking along through
the hushes, its shining eyes fixed on
me as it went. At last it disappeared
for a little while and I began to think
it hadgiven up the pursuit, but when
I saw it again it was crouched on the
limb of a tree just above the road,
waiting for me to pass under. I stop-
ped right where I was. I don't sup-
pose I could not have walked another
step to have saved my life. When
the panther, (for that's what it was of
course,) saw me stop it leaped from
the limb to the ground, and began
playing all around me, with all the
kittenieh motions you ever saw. It
would lie down and roll over and
over, looking at me all the while, and
then it would jump up and claw at
the dead leaves, and lash its tail,
acting just like some playful kitten
you have seen about your door -yard.
Two or three times it crouched, and
I thought it was going to spring but
it changed its mind,and went toplay-
ing again. And all that time 1 just
stood there and didn't move. I
couldn't move, in the first place, and
then I saw that it wouldn'thave been
any use. 'l'he only )notion I made
was to put two or three splinters
into tuy torch, for even in that awful
place 1 thought of the fire being out
at hoiue and the babies witho.lt any
breakfast.
"All at once the panther began
ieaping clear over me. What pees-
essed hill to do it I can't imagine,
but he would crouch and spring, and
go over it like a ball. 1 stood it
esteem and of cordial relations
from friend to friend. Under these
these circumstances the system of
low spying and vile anonymous in-
formation now so freely resorted to is
of no utility. But the contrary opin•
ion seems to prevail in your commit-
tee and elsewhere, and I have tens
dered my resignation. I have work-
ed often late into the night to make
the national printing office what it is,
and my work will stand my answer
to the calumniators and fanatics who
have sought my ruiu.

THE PRINTING BUREAU SCAN-
DAL INVESTIGATION.
OTTAWA, Aug. 28.—The7investiga-
tion into the Printing Bureau scan,
dal was eontinned before the public
accounts Committee yesterday.
Before Mr. Wallace swore Arthur
W. Croil, the proprietor of the Na-
tional Publishing and Electrotyping
Company, this letter was read after
messages had been despatched to
Mr. Senecal's office :
OTTAWA, Aug., 56, 1881.
To Clarke Wallace, Esq., M. P.,
Chairman Public Accounts Com-
mittee:
I have held myself at the disposal
of your committee for several weeks,
contrary to the formal prescription
of my doctor in order to furnish my
desirable informatiou as to the pure
chasers and as to the expenses of the
Government printing office, I should
have been able in one sitting to have
given that information, and immedi-
ately thereafter to have taken the
rest I needed. But I see that the
committee is not anxious to secure
that information. I can no longer
delay complying with ny doctor's ore
dere. It would haye been easy
to convince the committee that all
the contracts were honestly and
scrupulously made, and that no com-
mission or advantage for myself or
others was stipulated for or taken
into consideration. In any event it
would have been easy to prove that
the purchases were made for the
Government at lower pricee than any
private individual could have made
them for himself, but that was not, it
seems, what the committee wanted.
According to my understanding of
t}I�IAVG, ills Cff l 'ery ce re4f, es also
the oath taken by employes, forbid
the receiving from the Government
of any other remuneration than the
regular salary. But it docs not fore
hid, it cannot forbid, testimonials of
