He said that as far back as February, 1NS3, Mr. Atkins, the present Commissioner of Indian Affairs, suggested that witness, being a poor man like himself, ought to enter into the Fan Electric enterprise. Subsequently he met Senator Harris. Casey Young, Mr. Atkins and Dr. Rogers at the latter's house, where they talked about the general idea of organization of the Pan Electric company, aud he concluded to go into it. When, later on, parties urged him as Attor' - s.?. * Tt >11 ney-uenerai to onng ;i suit n^uiusu u?; company by the government he at once refused to do so. He had looked into the matter carefully, aud concluded that owing to his interest in the Pan Electric company he could not and would not touch it. Mr. Garland declared the organization of the Pan Electric company simply an undertaking by five or six impecunious men who wanted to better their condition in a legitimate business entei prise. He never intended to use his official position (being then a United States Senator) iu the interest of the company. The original stockholders had paid in their assessments and went ahead in v a proper manner to bring out Roger invention. They had never tried to boom the business. He for one took hold of it as a legitimate business venture, and regretted that it had not turned out better. He had never looked into the question of the legality of issue of the Pell patent. He regarded the Rogers patent a* an improvement over the Bed, and as no infringement against tite lien, aim uieieiurc pwumuic. but he did not want to be drawn into a discussion about the'validity of the Bell Latent Van BeuthuyKOii and others, Mr. Garland said, came to him in July, 1885, representing some telephone interests, aud asked him as Attorney-General to bring suit in the name of the government. He simply told them that he c ould not have anything to do with it, as he was astockholder in the Fau Electric company, a rival of the Bell company. That was the last talk he had with anybody about it until after his return from Arkansas, and the thing had gone out of his mind until he received a disoatch in Little Rock from parties in New Orleans informing him that he was being complimented for having directed a suit to be brought against the Bell company. He never told any. one that in his absence an application could be made to the Solicitor-General. He never mentioned the fact to Mc. Goode that an application for a suit was on tile, in fact, never mentioned telephone matters to Mr. Goode until after his return from his Arkausas trip. Mr. Garland denied positively that he timed his visit so that he might be away from Washington u'oc fAnciiluritior Willie ILl^ OUlItilWl -uciinai vvu^n>v....b the application. In reply to a question Mr. Gariand said that at the time his name was first mentioned, aud subsequently, nothing was said-toi him by an}' one about the office of Attoniej'-Generai being advantageous to the Pan Electric companv. "I never dreamed of -such an idea, aud I have never tried, and never thought of trying, to use the office or its powers to benefit the Pan Electric company." Mi*. Garland could see no impropriety in taking th<; interest he had taken in the company. Other government and Congressional officers were interested in all kinds-of private enterprises. During his cross-examination by Mr. Ranney, the Attorney-General stated that, he acted as attorney for the Pan Electric company to the extent of examining and in some instances makinsr nauers and documents. He often met gentleman conne -ted with the Fan Electric company in his committee-room of the Senate; but thero never was a meeting of the company held in his room. Mr. Garland reiterated that he had refused to converse upon matters relating to suits against the Bell company since he assumed the duties of his present office. HOME EULE_F0E IRELAND. Gladstone's Bill forrhe PurcTiase of the Land in Ireland. Mr. Gladstone iu a long speech has introduced his land purchase act in the house of commons. The land act, he said, was intended to go into effect on the same day on which the home rule bill would become operative. It could not go on without the operation of the other, M-hich would provide a legislature in Ireland to appoint statutory authority to deal with tho landed estates and act between vender and purchaser. The purchases would be made through the issue of ?180,000,000 of three per cent, stock is->uei at par. These new Irish consols might, with the consent of the treasury be commuted .for stock of a lower denomination. If the stock could not be issued forthwith,script of equal value would b? i-sued for the same purpose. The act was to give the landlords the options to sell out under the terms. Its enactments were confined to agricultural holdings, and did not include mansions .having demesnes and woods. l he state authorities, acting between the peasant and landowner, would purchase the Land from the latter and put the peasant in possession as absolute proprietor, subject to an annual rent charge until the total payments equalled the purchase money. The state would not force the small occupiers to become proprietors. In districts where the population was congested, the state would have the power to decide whether expropriation of .the too crowded land should De compulsory. Nobody except the immediate landlords would nave the option to sell to the incumbrancer, and then he must sell by foreclosure and not at an option for himself. Applications to sell would have to be made by all (the tenants on an estate, and all these applications and sales would be registered. Applicants womld ibe required to give security for costs in certain cases. The land commission would be empowered to refuse applications. The bases of prices would depend upon the rental for a fixed period. The judicial rental of lfS4o would be the standard in all cases whereiu the rent of the land to be sold was thea fixed; in. all other cases the land commission would have the power to arrive at a price by comparing the other judicial rentals with Griffith's valuation. Twenty years' rental would ba a normal purchase; in exceptional cases twenty-two years1 rental would make a purchase. Applications for sale would not be received after ??!?.?i-?i ui, xo?7v/. jlifu xuiiiiutis ojl pounas ot the stock would be issued duriug 1887, ?20.000,000 ia 1SSS, ?20.000,000 in 1880. The charge upon the Irish exchequer would be ?2,000,000 per annum, to meet which it would be able to levy for rents amounting to ?2,500,000 per annum, and this sum would be the first charge on the rents and taxes raised by the Irish government. Adding to t.h? iiunpriftl fftnf.rihnt.inn fr.lio cum noiH to England by Ire!aud would be ?6,242,000 per annum, secured on a revenue of ?10,850,000, no portion of which would be applied to any purpose until ?0,000,000,was paid into the English exchequer. The present contribution of the Irish taxgiyers to England was ?i?,980,000, of which _ ngland paid bavk in the Irish civil service and in the service of collection ?4,840,001 The residue, which soemed to represent an imperial contribution for army, navy, national debt, and imperial civil charges, was ?2,085,000. What did England do with it? As an instance, she sent an army of 20,000 men to Ireland and kept them there at an annual cost of ?3,000,000??915.0JO more than the balance mentioned. That was a specimen of the economy of the system the speaker wanted to root up. Mr. Gladstone commended the scheme to the strict, zealous, careful, unbiassed examination of Englishmen. He was convinced it would be recognized as a fitting part of the great auspicious effort to sustain the plans of the Britisn legislature for the welfare of what had long been, and, the speaker hoped, would ever be, under circumstances far happier than heretofore, an integral part of her majesty's dominion. Mr. Gladstone spoke for one hour and thirty-five minutes, and sat down amid great applause: PKOMINENT PEOPLE Rev. Dr. Talmage receives on an average forty letters a day.

A Quincy (111.) dispatch says that the mystery surrounding the disappearance of Eddie and Charles Klusmeyer, aged twelve and seven years, and Charles Kallerbaoh, aged ten years, has b.en dispelled by a ghastly discovery. On the 4th of last September the three children suddenly disappeared from home and their parents made search for them in vain, and then offered rewards for their discovery. It was the general opinion that the children had been stolen bv river pirates, and advertisements j were inserted inseveral papers south of tins place, but no trace of them was ever found. A few days ago a man hauling sand for a foundry was loading his wagon near the river bank, and on lifting his shovel was horrified at finding that he had cut the head from a human body. The man at once reported his discovery and the Coroner was notified. Upon further investigation the bodies of three children were exhumed from the sand bank, and were identified as those of the missing boys. It is thought that the boys were digging a cave in the sand bank, when it caved in and buried them alive. A BATTLE WITH BANDITS. Five Killed and Eleven Wounded at a Mining Camp in Mexico.

Articles the Impecunious Most OfteD U6e to Raise the Wind?Storage ?Things in Pawn?Aiding i ne ji/eteciives. "The pawnbrokers' business? Oh, < about as active as ever," said a wellknown Central avenue "uncle"' when i ; interrogated yesterday as to the status of j trade in his peculiar line. "It is always < basy with us, but just now more so than ever. The over-coat season is on. : What do thej get on them? Well, that depends, of course, on the quality and j amount of wear. I should place the range at fifty cents to $5, the amounts . running all along between those limits. Here is a light spring affair that is in for | $1.50, while this beaver over here represents a loan of $5. The amount advanced rarely runs beyond that. Of \ course, with the warm weather, the 'benny1 becomes a useless article of the Tnnnnr m;in's warrlrnbp "Reside, the pawnshop is a good place to put it away until next winter. They are carefully laid away and precautions taken to prevent the moths getting to them?in fact, the owner secures a safe place of deposit where his 'benny' can remain intact until the cold weather calls it forth again. Very many single men utilize their 'uncle' just for that purpose." "What are the staple articles of spouting?" "We probably get more watches than ; anything else. They are of every kind and value. Some have heavy gold cases with fine works, on which we readily advance :?80 to $50. Then there are the silver timekeepers, looking like heirlooms in the family, handed down from grandfathers. On these we rarely loau more than $1 or $2. Revolvers are another stand-by of the hocking fraternity. We receive large numbers of these. On the finest we advance $4 or $5, while the cheaper varieties, 'bulldogs1 and the like, are pledged for from fifty cents to $1.50. Rings are also very frequently put up,and are of more kinds than any other class of pledges. Every sort of clothing is offered to us, from an entire suit to a vest, pair of unmentionables, or even a shirt. The women are as prone as the other sex to seek the aid of the pawn-shop, as you may see from this collection of sacques, circulars, skirts, shawls, dresses?in fact, about every article of feminine apparel. They never get much?say $1 or $2." " "Name some strange articles put in." "We J J, late umbrellas, lor instance; they are very frequently figuratively as well as literally put up. Here are a few things that you mi<>ht call peculiar. In this case a woman has pledged a bolt of calico for twenty-five cents, probafoly just after having purchased it. This alarm clock also represents tw?nty-five cents, while this album is in for twice as much. On this looking-glass $1 was given. These roller skates are in pledge for the same amount. Three dollars were loaned on this old finely-colored meerschaum pipe, and on this trunk $2. This family Bible represents .$2, this sewing machine $4, and this baby's carriage seventy-live cents. The lowest amount advanced is twenty-five cents <>n this razor. Musicians are good customers of ours, as you may see from this collection of violins, clar i? l._ ... J i j_ loneis, piccjios anu ouier instruments. The sporting fraternity are of course our best patrons. Their diamonds find the way regularly to our safes. A fortunate winning or the timely discovery of an 'angel' enables them to redeem, but the jewelry always comes back. We gert good interest, and* sometimes the time lapses and the stuff becomes ours. Another frequent pledge is notes payable at future dates. The holders are not;sufficiently well known in banking circles to iret them discounted, and have to pay the high rate such risky paper demands. People often pledge $5 and $10 gold pieces. It is hard to tell why they do so; may be because they don't want to break them, or else they are relies or lucky pieces, Opera glasses are often utilized to raise the wind by the impecunious, and boots and shoes are by no m^ans rare pledges. Every pawnbroker s p ace is a veritable 'old curiosity shop.'" "How do you like the business?1' "Certainly it has its unpleasant fea itures, as when some poor creatures want a large loan on an article of small value, probably to keep the wolf from the door. Then some people look down on our oc- : cupation. Of course, like every other : business, it has its black sheep, but you , trill find many honorable men engaged in it. Another thing, too, you probably \ don't know. We are among the best i aide the police have, and many a thief ' 1 . 1. J _ A _ _ 1 _ 1 J ? nas oeen orougnt to justice wno wouia have escaped but for the honest pawnbroker You hear a good deal about the superhuman shrewdness about >" w York and Chicago detectives?how s .m after the robbery of a jewelry store they arrest criminals and recover the stolen property. The fact is, without information furnished by the pawnbrokers the detectives would be as blind as anybody else. In those cities every pownbroker daily sends to the chief of police a detailed account of the articles he has taken in pledse. including a description of the person, his rosidence and other notable points that would afford a clue should the stuff prove to have been stolen. All a detective has to do when a theft is reported is to watch these lists, and nine times out of ten he will find where the thief has disposed of his spoils. He has then, of course, a pretty big ciue to work on to catch the criminal. So the profession has some claims on the public. Well, yes, the profits are rather big, but few of us become rich."?St. Paul Globe. Manners of Southern Children. A correspondent of the Salem (Mass.) a. k. - 1A.' ? [juzeue, writing iruui murium, v;i., suya g rather pointedly: "James Russell Low- ? ell, in a recent review, says that about a ^ century ago more time was given to man- g ners than now is. These may not be his c exact words and so we omit the quotation marks. And this prompts us to speak of the manners of the Southern children. I Not an instance, during our sojourn of t several months in several States,has come within our observation of what, in common parlance, is called 'sass,' on the part 1 of the young, either white or black, and j; we have seen then in rnrst lavoraoiecon- | ~ ditions i'or making a display of that kind b?d they been so inclined.

Good manners is the art of making those people easy with whom we converse. Be pleasant and kind to those around you. The man who stirs his cup with an icicle spoils the tea and chills his own fingers. It is always good to know, if only in passing, a charming human being; it refreshes one like flowers and woods and nlp'ir hrooks. There can be no study without time; and the mind must abide and dwell upon things, or be always a stranger to the inside of them. He that procures his child a good mind makes a better purchase for him than if he laid out the money for an addition to his former acres. Fame is an undertaker that pays but little attention to the living, but bedizens the dead, furnishes out their funerals, and follows them to the grave. To-day is a king in disguise. Today always looks mean to the thoughtless, in the face of uniform experience that all good and great ana nappy actions are made up precisely of these blank to-days. The memory. is perpetually looking back -when we have nothing present to entertain us; it is like those repositories in animals that are filled with stores of food, on which they may ruminate when their present pasture fails. Pain itself is not without its alleviations. It may be violent and frequent, j but it is seldom both violent and long continued, and its pauses and intermissions become positive pleasures. It has the power of shedding a satisfaction over intervals of ease, which few enjoyments exceed. Economy is the parent of integrity, of liberty and of ease ; and the beauteous sister of temperance, of cheerfulness and health. And profuseness is a cruel and crafty demon, that gradually in vclves her followers in dependence and debt, that fetters them with "irons that enter their souls." Life Studies by Lige Brown.

The young man who bares hi6 heart-on the face of a postal card will drain the bitter cup of disappointment if he expects to marry his first love.

A great many people are afflicted with Catarrh who do not know what ails them; and a great many more continue sufferers who might be cured. Thickening of the membrane which lines the nasal passages, thus making breathing difficult; a discharge from the nostrils, more or less copious, watery or thick, according to the stage of the disease; a sense of fullness in the head; a constant inclinatien to spit; and, in advanced cases, a dropping of intensely distrusting matter intotho throat, are a few of the prominent Bymptoms of Catarrh. Deafness, inflamed eyes,neuralgic pains, sore throat and a loss of sense of smell, aro very often caused by Catarrh. All these trouble.} are cured by Piso's Remedy for Catarrh, Relief is had immediately after beginning its use, but it is important that it be continued without intermission until the catarrhal virus is expeuea irom ma oyoicm and hoalthy secretions replace the diseased action of tho mucous membrane. Manifestly it is unreasonable to expect a cure in a short time of a disease that has boen progressing for months or years. This question of time Is provided for In the putting up of PLio'a Remedy for Catarrh. It Is so concentrated that a very small dose is directed. The quantity in one package is sufficient for a long treatment, consequently the expense is a mere trifle, and there is no excuse for negloct nor reason for it but forgetfulness. A oold in the head is relieved by an applicacation of Piso's Remedy for Catarrh. The comfort to be got from it in this way is worth many times t he-cost. The following letters are specimens of those received every day, testifying to the worth of Pieo's Remedy for Catarrh: Allegheny, Pa., Sept, 26,1885. Piso's Remedy for Catarrh is doing wonders for me. I believe it will cure any case of Catarrh, if used according to directions. Mits. F. JOHNSON, 49 E, Diamond St. Sprino Hill, W. Va? Oct. 20,1885.

I have used a little over half a package of PIso's Remedy for Catarrh, and it haa helped me more than any of the different medicines I have used. I feel confident that It will cure me. I can and do recommend it to others who are troubled with that disease. __ Rev. A. DAMON. A Remarkable Tribute. Sidney Ourchundro, of Pittsburg, Pa.,writes: "I have used Dn. Wm. Hall's Balsam for the Lungs many years with the most gratifying results. The relieving influence of Hall's Balsam is wonderful. The pain and rack of the body, incidental to a Light cough, soon disappear by the use of a spoonful according to directions. My wife frequently sends for Hall's Balsam instead of a physician, and health is speedily restored by its use."
