As good as new
—that’s the condition Of liver, stom-
ach and bowels, when Dr. Pierce’s
Pleasant Pellets have done their
work. It’s a work that isn’t fin-
ished when you’ve stopped taking
them, either. It’s lasting. They
cure, as well as relieve. And it’s
all done so mildly and gently!
There’s none of the violence that
went with the Old-time pill. One
tiny, sugar-coated Pellet’s a. gentle
laxative—three to four act as a.
cathartic. Sick Headache, Bilious
Headache, Constipation, Indiges-
tion, Bilious Attacks, and all de-
rangements Of the stomach and
bowels, are prevented, relieved and
cured. As a Liver Pill, they’re un-
equaled. They’re purely vegetable,
perfectly harmless—the smallest,
cheapest, and easiest to take.
They’re the cheapest pill you can
buy, because they’re guaranteed to
give satisfaction, or your money is
returned. ‘
You only pay for the good you
get. Can you ask more ?
,That’s the peculiar plan all Dr.
Pierce’s medicines are sold on.

era; Elilcs—Er‘us-iibiiity of Striking
Uu‘. Emilie: Treasure.
A stficatific scheme of much impor-
tance has been agitated in Washing-
ton recently, so a Star reporter
learned. During the. last two Con-
gresses there have been a number of
representatives and two or three sena-
tors who have used their influence in
favor of an appropriation for boring a.
hole in the earth several. miles in
depth. It has long been recognized
that an inconceivableamount of value
in the shape of precious metals and
other mineral substances is locked up
out of reach beneath the crust of this
planet. All the riches dug out of it
represent merely the most superficial
and ineffective scratching of the sur-
face. Once render accessible the in-
ternal recesses Of the sphere and it is
plain that every human being might
be a thousand. times a Monte Cristo.
Surely the problem presents no in-
superable obstacle to that most in-
genious of animals, man, who may
be said already to have all but re-
duced nature herself to subjection.
Geologists are agreed that. the inte-
rior of the earth is largel;=.- composed
of metals. Whereas the surface mat-
terof the planet weighs only about
two and one—half times as much as
water, it is known as a fact that toward
the centre the average weight of
things is eleven times that of water.
This is due to the circumstance that
while this sublunary orb was cooling
and condensing the heavier particles
' the middle. Then-fore, it is
. e that the great mass of the
sphere is iron. But there are other
metals more heavy than iron, and
these would ua’urally form an accu—
mulation lll‘illi \-.ii:ii.ely about the cen-
tre of the globe. Among them may
be mentioned most importantly gold.
Cologist Gilbert, of the (”so-s'oxical
Survey, 1 t .a-t he
sale. the other
w. uid rather expect to lili a vast ac-
cumulation of gold at that point than
anywhere else, his notion being that
such Of the yellow metal as is found on
the surface of the ca: tli E5; only an ac-
cidental detritus. However, there are
two or three substances known even
more weighty than gold, and one of
them is platinum, which has doubled
in market value within the last year
or two, owing to the increased cost of
production.
SO it. is not unreasonable that cer-
tain members Of Congress and other
persons of keen judgment should con-
sider the advisability Of boring a hole
in the earth for the purpose of ex-
.racting some of its metallic contents.
For scientific purposes a pit has
recently been sunk at Speling, in Ger-
many, to the depth of a mile. Unfor-
tunately, water has been struck, and
no results which add very materially
to human knowledge have thus far
been obtained. Another well has been
driven at Wheeling, W. Va., as far
down as three-quarters Of a mile. It
is dry and the boring process is pro-
ceeding at the rate Of ten. feet a day.
The management will be disgusted if
Oil or something is not struck before
the hole comes out at the antipodes,
and somebody tumbles into it at the
other end. All that has been learned
from those works up to date is that
the heat Of the globe increases one
degree every eighty feet in depth.
NO really scientific person has been
so foolish as to imagine that possible
results, commercially speaking, could
be secured without digging much
further than this. Estimate is made
that at twenty miles from the surface
of theearth every known substance—
metals, rocks and all—becomes fused
and liquid. Once let this point be
reached, and naturally whatever is
below must spout up of its own ac-
cord, without expense Of mining. Im-
mediately the price Of metals. in the
market would be reduced to little or
nothing, and a new age would (lawn
upon civilization. It has been sug-
gested that such an artificial conduit
would be, to all intents and purposes,
a volcano; but any dangers which it
would otherwise threaten might be
obviated easily by establishing the
works on an open prairie. The cost
Of boring for twenty miles would cer-
tainly be very small, compared with
the results to be anticipated, and Con-
gress could easily afford the money
necessary, which might appropriately
be placed in the. hands of the Depart-
ment Of the Interior. ‘
Hard on the Baptists.
The most ludicrous debating society
I ever attended, says Ernest Ingersoll
in the Christian Union, was in a fore
cabin Of a little river steamer in
Florida ten years ago, when a crowd
Of old time darkies were discussing
which was the better (or worse), Meth-
odists Cr Baptists. The conclusion
was a compromise upon the basis that
while the “Mefodis’s would steal the
most, the “Baptis’s” were the readier
liars.
This “grind” reminds me of a story
told by the Rev. Dr. Sayres, who lived
at Stannton, Va, Of how he and s emc
other clergymen were once fishing at
Cape May in charge of aboatman who
had. no idea who his guests wei'-..
They had no luck in, getting good 1‘1st,
but caught great numbers of a small,
mean kind. '
“What do you call these?” asked
Dr. Sayres, in disgust.
“We call ’em Baptists, sir,” the J er-
seyinan replied.
“Baptists, ch? why?”
“Because they spile so soon after
we get ’cm out Of the water!”

GHOSTLY VISITANTS.
SOME STRANGE AND UNACCOUNTABLE'
OCCURRENCES.
Stories \‘Vhich 'I‘ax the Credulit‘y of
Skeptics—Extraordinary Phenomena.
Unseen Hands
Tricks Both Day and Night,
Perform Mysterious
One of the most remarkable modern
instances Of supposed ghostly dis-
turbance occurred in the home of Rev.
Dr. Phelps of Stratford, Conn. Upon
returning from church one day he
found that all the doors of his house,
which hehad carefully locked on his
departure, were wide open and the
contents of the rooms on the first
floor in the wildest confusion. Noth~
ing had been stolen. In aroom on
the upper story, however, eight forms
were found, each one with an Open
Bible heldlclose to its face. On exam-
ination these were found to be bun-
dles of clothes, cunningly and very
skillfully arranged to represent living
beings. Everything was cleared away
and the room locked, but within five
minutes the same scene was repeated,
although the clothing had been care-
fully put away.
For seven months the house was
disturbed by extraordinary phen-
omena. The most unearthly noises
were heard dayantl night. Furniture
and kitchen utensils were mysteri-
ously moved. Glassware and window
panes were broken by unseen hands
before the startled inmates, and once
the eleven-year-Old son Of the doctor
was lifted bodily and carried some
distance. The most diligent research
discovered nothing, and not until he
applied to some spiritualists in Boston
did the disturbance cease. ..
One of the best authenticated in-
stances Of ghostly visitation is con-
nected with Dr. Kerner’s so called
Seeress of Provost. Dr. Kerner for
many years con ducted an asylum for
the insane at ‘IVci..sburg, in Southern
Germany. There came to him for
treatment a Mrs. Hauffe, a lac y in
delicate health, of great nervous irri-
tability and with a mind which was,
to say the least, not too well balanced.
Wherever this afflicted woman went,
and Dr. J ustinus Kerner is authority,
she was pursued by a variety of strange
noises. Chinaware and glassware, ta-
E..=fes and chairs, were mysteriously
moved in the presence of witnesses.
A medicine phial rose slowly into the
air and had to be brought back by one
of the bystanders.
On several occasions an easy chair
was lifted up to the ceiling by unseen
power and then returned slowly to the
floor. On one occasion the great skep-
tic, Dr. Strausz, was one Of her visi-
tors, and during his stay Mrs. Hauffe
fell asleep on her sofa when there im-
mediately arose long, fearful groan-
ings close by the doctor’s side and in
the vicinity of his amiable but re-
markable hostess. The strange suf-
fering woman was the only one who
knew the cause Of these phenomena.
She ascribed them all to a dark spirit
who appeared to her as ablack col-
umn of smoke with a hideous head,
whose unseen approach oppressed
even the bystanders.
Dr. Kerner relates countless myste-
rious phenomena which occurrez'l in
this patient’s bedroom.
He beheld
Mrs._Hauffe’s shoes pulled off by invis-
ible hands while she was lying almost
inanimate in a trance on her bed. She
revealed secrets which, upon writing
to utterly unknown persOns at a great
distance, Dr. Kerner proved to be cor-
rectly stated. '
There lived in Allegheny city at the
breaking out Of the Rebellion a. widow
by the name Of MacDowell. She had
one son, John by name, who lived
with his mother in a two story frame
house on Robinson street. The widow
and her son were devotedly attached
to each other, and when he came
home one night and told her that he
had enlisted at one of the recuiting
booths on Federal street she was in-
consolable.
On the afternoon of April 6, 1882,
Mrs. MaeDowell sat in an easy chair
at the second story window of her
home. It was the first day she had
felt strong enough enough to leave
her bed. It was warm and the sun
shining brightly. As she sat alone
with her wan cheek resting against
against the pillows she. heard a heavy
step on the narrow stairway. She
described the succeeding events to
the first neighbor woman who
“The
instant I heard the step I knew it
was John.
of the stairs I turned toward the door
and tried to rise and meet him, but I
was tOO faint, and besides there was
‘something in his face that drove all
the blood from my heart. He was
dressed in his uniform and was carry-
ing a. big sword in his hand. He
stopped in the middle Of the room and
I saw under his cap, which Was pushed
back, a broad bandage stained with
blood around his forehead. Suddenly
he waved his sword and I saw an aw-
ful look, such as I had never seen be-
fore, come into my boy’s eyes; he
waved his sword three times and
looking backward over his shoulders
as he did so. I saw the sword fall
from his grasp, but it made no noise
on the floor; he reached both hands
to me and the fierce expression died
out Of his eyes as he cried out, ‘Oh
mother,’ and then before I could say
a word he was gone.”
A week from that day the widow
McDowell was buried _in the Hilldale
Cemetery. On the afternoon of Apri
6, the day when the apparition of her
boy appeared to her in the sick room,
he was killed while repulsing 3. Con-
federate charge at Pittsburg Landing.
He was struck bye. spent ball upon
the forehead early in the day, but ty-
ing a handkerchief around his fore-
head he remained in the fight. All“
the officers in his com any had been
killed or wounded, an he was leading
his company with a sword Of a. dead
Confederate in his hand when he was
hit and instantly killed by a second
bullet. His last' utterance as he fell
'as the pathetic cry: “Oh. mother!”
