One of the leading dry goads merchants of Columbus, Ga., in writing of this in the Columbus Enquirer-Sun, says: "1 should think it would pay the {Southern mills to manufacture a high grade of gingham for the heme trade. It is almost impossible to buy tue best grades of gingham. By the best grades I mean standard ginghams like Amoskc*g, Lancashire, etc. It is true that some of the Southern mills make ginghams, but none of the best grades.

St. Louis, Special.?The injunction issued March 3, by Judge Elmer B. Adams, of the United States district court, at the instance of the Wabash Railroad o.fficials to restrain the Brotberhcod of Railway Trainmen and Firemen from ordering a strike on that system, was dissolved Wednesday in a decision handed down by Judge Adams, a week after the hearing cf arguments for and against the removal of the legal obstacle. While no one will express an opinion as to the next probable move on either side, remarks dropped indicate that every effort will be made to effect a settlement and avert a strike. But if a settlement shall not be effected, the understanding seems to be general that a strike is sure to result. At Wabash headquarters it was stated that amicable adjustment of the controversy is hoped for. The same sentiment was expressed at the hotels, where arc quartered the few representatives of the officials of the trainment and firemen now in the city. Counsel for both sides spent the afternoon in conference, but no agreement was reached. Judge Adams announced that court would be in session and retain jurisdiction of the case, if desired, so that in the event of any molestation of or interference with, inter-State commerce or the mail service, all its lawful powers may be invoked to restrain tne comr, with tho rnnfident assurance lhat they will be fearlessly and effectively exercised. The temporary injunction was granted by Judge Adams on allegations made by officials of the Wabash system that the defendants were conspiring to interfere with inter-State traffic and in the transmission of United States mails. Judge Adams in his decision says the provisional restraining order was made without notice to the defendants, under the stress of the facts disclosed by the bill and was fully authorized by section 718, Revised Statutes of the United States, and was imperatively demanded by the general principles of equity jurisprudence recognized and enforced in many similar cases in the United States and England, and many authorities warranting tne provisional restraining order in question in cases of conspiracies to interfere with inter-State commerce and otherwise are cited in support of this last proposition. Within the time allowed by the restraining order the defendants duly appeared and filel their sworn answer, denying the alleged conspiracy in all Its phases and particularly denying any purpose to interfere with inter-State commerce or the mails of the United States, and especially denying that the employes were satisfied with wages and I ^ ri n f 1 A on V _ I L JUUlllUIib Ui 5Ci > lit* auu utu; mg the practice of any and all coercion or false representations to bring about a strike; avering that the only purpose of the present defendants in consenting to a strike was to better the condition of their members who were in the employment of the railroad by the exercise of their undoubted right to peacefully withdraw from such service until such time as their demands of wages .etc., should be conceded. The court, after fully considering all the proof, finds that the statements of the complaint to the effect that the employes were satisfied with their wages and conditions of service are not supported, irrespective of the question whether the men or the committee of brotherhood representing them first suggested the increase of wages and change of ruies, the employes themselves at and for a long time prior to the filing of the bill of complaint were dissatisfied with their wages and conditions of service, and a real difference of opinion existed between the railroad and a large majority of its employes, members of the brotherhoods. with respect to their wages and that the defendants as officer and committees of the brotherhoods were fully authorized both by reason of their official relation to their members and also by direct written authority to repiwseni tnem m me eirort 10 secure higher wages and change conditions of service and the proposed strike instead of being officially ordered by defendants was a resuit of the vote of the employes acting without coercion and directly auihorzing the same. The court further finds after a full examination of the evidence that the charge of conspiracy to interfere with the inter-State commerce of the United States or the mail service of the United States, is not sustained.

Dr. Lindley found some seeds with a skeleton 30 feet under the ground; there were some coins with these seeds bearing the inscription of the Emperor Fladrin. The seeds were planted and grew into good size bushes. and proved to be raspberry. The seeds were in a persons stomach when buried. The coin fixes the date of the burial. We are safe in computing the age of the seeds from 1600 to 1700 years. There is no difference in the principle back of the new pack of cards in the parlor -and the greasy pack in the penitentiary.

Almost everybody needs a tonic in the spring. Something to brace the nerves, inrigoratc the brain and cleanse the blood. Ihat Peruna will do this is beyond all rjuestion. Every one who ha* tried it baa had the same experience as Mrs. I). W. Timberlake, of Lynchburg. Ya., who, in a recent letter, made use of the following words: "I always take a dose of Peruna ifter business hours, as it is a great thing i'or the nerves. There is no better spring tonic, and I have used about all of them. Catarrh In Spring. The spring is the best time to treat catarrh. Nature renews herself every spring. The system is rejuvenated by spring weather. This renders medicines more effective. A short course of Peruna, assisted by the balmy air of spring, will cure old, stubborn cases of catarrh that have resisted treatment for years. Everybody should have a cony of Dr. Hartman's latest hook an catarrh. Address The Peruna Medi:ine Co., Columbus, Ohio.
