"THE CAMELS ARE COMING" HAVE COME. Arrival of Another Party From Muskegon. Nea Orleans (La.) ricayuru, Jan. 29, 1887. Among the recent arrivals at the St.

Charles Hotel are Mr. and Mrs. John Campbell and little daughter, from Muskegon, Mich. This pleasant event is noted not because the name of Campbell is novel on the hotel registry, but on account of the circumstances which produced the autograph of the gentleman above named. Mr.

John Campbell is a worthy citizen of North Muskegon, and a member of the firm of Gow Majo extensive dealers ia lumber, Though a young man he has, by energy and close application, assisted in building up a business, which five years ago was started on the most limited capital, and to-day takes a front rank in the city of Muskegon. Knowing Mr. Charles J. Hermann, who resides in Muskegon, and having heard of the good luck of that gentleman in the drawing of The Louisiana State Lottery, October 12th, 1886, when Mr. Hermann, on an investment of $1, won $15,000 of the capital prize of Mr.

Campbell, at the suggestion of his wife, wrote to the Company in the early part of January for one tenth ticket in the grand drawing of the 11th with $1 enclosed. Ticket No. 91,960 was immediately forwarded, and it proved to bo the winner of the capital prize, $150,000. The pleasing intelligence of his good fortune was imparted to him by his friend, Charley Dun, a fellow-townsman, through a dispatch from the Lottery Company, and Mr. Campbell immediately made arrangements to gratify a long-cherished desire, viz: to visit with his wife the ancient Crescent city.

It may be mentioned that before he knew of his success, his wife as with prophetic soul remarked: "My dear, if we should be fortunate and win a big prize, we will surpriso father with a nice check, won't we?" to which John cordially assented. On Thursday Mr. Campbell presented himself at the Lottery Company's office, and received a check on the Louisiana National Bank for $15,000 in exchange for the ono-tenth ticket he had held. This he converted into sight drafts, not forgetting one for father for $1,000. Mr.

and Mrs. Campbell will remain in the city a few days enjoying the balmy climate and visiting places of interest in and around town. IS THERE ANY HOPE New and Important Opinions ol Pulmonary Experts Can the Universal Consumption be Successfully Treated? Dr. Borgeon, a leading French doctor, has a new treatment for consumption! He gives an enema of carbolic acid and sulphuretted hydrogen gases, the latter gas carrying the former into every part of the throat and lungs. This treatment, too, is directed at effectsthe cause remains undisturbed.

What this cause is has been stated by perhaps the highest pulmonary authority in the world, i. the Brompton Hospital for Consumptives, in London, Eng. This malady every year carries off from one-seventh to one-fifth of the entire population of England! Dr. Payne, M. M.

R. C. London, is authority for this statement The same or a greater proportion of deaths obtains in America. Dr. Payne also says that one-half the total number of deaths from all other causes have seeds of this disease in the system which only require some irritant to develop! Dr.

Hermann Brehmer, an eminent German authority, says that consumption is caused by deficient nutrition of the lungs, by poor blood. These authorities cannot be disputed. The medical world recognizes them. The uric acid is the irritant in the blood that causes the development of the seeds which Dr. Brehmer says lie dormant in the blood.

Every particle of blood which passes through the lungs and heart, also goes through the kidneys, and if they are in the least deranged they cannot rid the blood of its killing poison. The thousand little hair-like sewer tubes of the kidneys very easily get blocked up and diseased; and when they do, they corrupt instead of purifying the blood. Kidney diseases may exist, and yet no pain occur in that organ, because it is deficient in nerves of sensation. Dip your finger in acid every day and it soon festers and is destroyd. Send acid-poisoned blood through the lungs every second, and they soon give way.

The Brompton Hospital investagation showed that 52 per cent, of the victims of consumption were afflicted with deranged kidneys, which permitted the uric acid poison to remain in the blood and irritate the lungs. This uric acid is always fighting every vital organ.and if there be any inherent weakness in the lungs it inevitably causes pneumonia, cough and consumption. The real cause of pulmonary troubles being so authoritatively shown to be faulty even though unsuspected action of the kidneys, explains why, in order to master the dreaded consumption, one must rid the blood of the uric acid irritant which inflames and burns up the lung substance. For this purpose there is nothing equal to that great specific Warner's safe cure. This remedy has now the favor of medical men ail over the world purely on its merits, We have no doubt that if the kidneys are kept in natural action, consumption and a great many other diseases, caused by uric acid, will not only be cured but will be prevented.

When the kidney is healthy, no albumen appears in the water, but albumen is found in the water of more than half of those who die of consumption! This, then, is the condition of things that always precedes consumption: First, weakened kidneys; second, retained uric acid, poisoning the blood; third, the development of disease in the lungs by the irritant acids passing through them. Then there is a little cough in the morning; soon thick, yellow matter is spit up, followed by loss of flesh and strength, with dreadful night sweats; and when the patient foes to his school physician for help, is put on cod liver oil, which his stomach, weakened also by uric acid in the blood, cannot digest Because there is no pain present in the kidneys, the patieDt does not think they are affected, but the kidney acid is doing its work every minute, every hour, day and night, and by-and-by the disease of the lungs has advanced until pus is developed; then come hemorrhages, and at last the glassy stare which denotes that the end is near! A post-mortem examination of such cases shows that the terrible uric acid has completely destroyed the substance of the lung. It is impossible to cure lung diseases when the blood is poisoned with uric acid. A Glasgow physician report a curious experience of a patient of hit who was troubled seriously with foul eructations from the Stomach. Early one morning he lighted a match to see the time and ia blowing out the match bis breath caught fire, burning his lips ani firing him terrible surprise.

The question of the effects of consanguinity is one of those vexed problems on which much evidence has been collected pro and con. The observations have been made by careful observers, and the most probable explanation of the diversity of the results reached is that other circumstances have in some cases canceled the bad effects of too close interbeeeding and in other cases brought them into prominence, A very fair consideration of the problem is given by Dr.

G. E. Shuttleworth in 27e Journal of Mental Science for October, 1886. The common misgiving as to the propriety of cousin marriages is of rather recent origin. In ancient times marriages of near kin were not forbidden.

The first prohibition of them is in the fourth century A. D. The church soon came to cast its odium on marriages even of the seventh degree of relationship, and the fees for removal of such objections oy dispensation were an important source of revenue. This has undoubtedly influenced popular opinion on the question. From the physician's point of view the evidence from the animal world is very important.

Here there is almost a consensus that, while the effect of 'in-and-in breeding" is to intensify points, in the long run it is opposed to vigor of constitution. It is to be remembered that every breeder takes care to exclude any animals with any known morbid tendency, while, on the contrary, in the genus homo, as Dr. Clauston remarks, there seems to be special tendency for members of neurotic families to intermarry." The result of this will be that in some portions of the population the offspring of such marriages will show the evil results of it to an unusual extent And thus wo find in rural, and especially in mountainous districts, where the population is small and mixed, the comparative amount of idiocy is greater than elsewhere. Statistical information is inadequate on the subject; the motion to include it in the census returns of England was rejected "amid the scornful laughter of the house, on the ground that the idle curiosity of speculative philosophers was not to be gratified." In France the returns have given rise to various estimate (varying from 9-10 to 2 or3 per cent) of the frequency of consanguineous marriages. Mr.

G. IL Darwin came to the couclusion that in London 1J per cent of all marriages were between first cousins, in urban districts 2 per cent, and in rural districts 2 per cent If now, we ascertain the ratio of idiots and insane patients that are the offspring of such marriages to the total number of patients in the asylums, we will have some means of estimating the results of consanguinity. From quite an extended series of records, it is concluded that the ratio just referred to in the idiot asylums is from 3 to 5 per cent; hence "first-cousin marriages, at any rate, are to some extent favorable to the production of idiot children." But this conclusion must be tempered by the consideration that in a large number of such cases of idiocy and imbecility other causes for this condition are present; and this consideration leads Dr. A. Mitchell to the opinion that "under favorablo conditions, of life the apparent ill effects of consanguineous marriages were frequently almost nil, while, it the children were ill-fed, badly housed and clothed, the evil might become very marked." From such facts and figures we may conclude that first-cousin marriages should, as a rule, be discouraged; but that; if a close scrutiny reveals no heritable weakness, neurotic or otherwise, the banns need not invariably be forbidden.

Elopes Sure Enough. "There had been an account of an elopement in tho morning papers," said the commercial traveler, "and I was thinking of it whona couple drove up to the country hotel and registered 'Mr. and Mrs. I winked at the boys aud said: 'Here's for a The old hotel-keeper was a very dear friend of mine and took my word for gospel truth, so when I said 'Look out for 'em!

He scowled and lifted his chin, and wagged it up and down a half dozen times, sort of as though he was thinking it over, and then he walked off.

All the other boys in the house were put onto the joke and we agreed to watch the old man and see what he did. "Supper rang, and the party of traveling men took seats at one table and left the new arrivals to the sole occupancy of another. The hotel proprietor, who helped servo at the table, took his station as much as possible behind the young couple, his eyes all the time watching their very movement 'Will you have some sugar in your at length said the young man to his companion, as he passed the saccharine for her use. 'No, thank you; I never use sugar in my was the sweet response. "Wo were watching the old man as he stood near them and hoard this answer, lie grew about a foot in a second.

They called for their team and drove on. The most surprised party in tho affair was ours. We hadn't dreamed that we wore so near the truth.

Lew. itton (Me.) Journal. The Tremendous Coat of Travel lu Central Africa A $100,000 Outfit. The expedition which Mr. Stanley is about to lead into Africa is by far the largest and most expensive that ever set out on a peaceful mission in the continent.

Traveling in savage countries is always very costly. It has been estimated that the average expense incurred by exploring parties in Africa is over $15 a mile. It cost the English and Algerian missionary societies over $5,000 apiece for every missionary they landed on the shores of Victoria Nyanza. Stanley's trip across the continent is said to have cost about $60,000. Dr.

Holub, who is now working his way from South Africa to the Great Lakes, took with him an outfit that cost $25,000. The money expended by most important expeditions has varied from $10,000 to $40,000. An explorer's force of porters and other native assistants varies from forty to 250 souls. Mr. Stanley's present" expedition will include about one thousand persons, and his traveling outfit and trade goods have cost something over $100,000.

It must be remembered that he is not only trying to adequately supply the needs of nis large party, but that he is also carrying much clothing, ammunition, and other supplies to the several hundred persons who are numbered in the little retinue of Emin Pasha. An exhibition was given in England the other clay of the performance of a Maxim gun. It was a part of the military outlit of the Stanley expedition, and the explorer and many prominent men watched the performance of the weapon with much satisfaction as it poured forth a storm of about six hundred bullets a minute. Here is an expedition that is bound on a mission of humanity, and wishes ill to nc one. It unfortunately happens, how-eve' that at no time since Burton and Speke penetrated to the Great lakes in 1858 have times been so troublesome in Central Africa as they are now.

la Uganda and the region around it, where Stanley said eleven years ago that he traveled as securely as in Europe, the powerful despot, M' wanga, has within the past two years, killed many thousands of people. It is said that in one campaign last year he killed ten thousand soldiers of his northern neighbor, the king of Unyoro. He is the avowed enemy of the whites, one of whom he has murdered, two he has enslaved, and the others who were in his power he has expelled from his country. If Stanley is not able by peaceable means to open the road to Wadelai, if he cannot buy the favor of the ruler of Uganda, he must defend the lives of his party and by force, if needs be, fullill the mission he is sent to perform. It is fight that he be supplied with the best appliances of military art It is believed that the man who lias not been excelled by any Africau explorer in the tact and forbearance he has displayed in his dealings with the natives may be trusted to use these appliances only if necessity compels their use.

Among the Europeans who will accompany Mr. Stauley is one who is specially qualified to handle the Maxim gun. One of Mr. Stanley's servants will be a boy in his teens, who was among a lot of little slaves that the explorer bought of the Arabs three years ago. The slaves were starving, and Stanley bought the boys for a few cotton handkerchiefs, and distributed them among the white stations along the Congo.

These lads are all from the Aiuwiini river regiou, and speak languages which none of the white men on the Congo has yet acquired. If Mr. Stanley takes the Congo route, as he desires to do. it is very possible that he will ascend the Aruwimi river to reach Emin Pasha. If, when he reaches the Congo, he decides to take this course, it is his intention to collect these boys as he goes up the river, and make them useful to him as interpreter and peacemakers among their kindred of the Aruwimi tribes.

It was his belief when he bought their fresdom and distributed these boys along the river to be educated in the white man's art, that by so doing he was securing so many strong and faithful native helpers for bis Congo enterprise. It is possible that he litllo imagined that the next lime he visited tiie spot where he freed them from the shackles of the Arab slave-driver, these boys, who have all been doing well, would be able to render him services to almost incalculable value. New York Hun. In Safe Hands, 'In cleaning your coat," he said, as he halted a gentleman on the steps of the post-office, "I found these two letters in the lining.

The General Passenger Agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St Paul Railroad has Issued instructions to his subordinates forbidding the issuing of passes or reduced-rate tickets after March 31st An exception is made with respect to bona fide employees of the company. This is the first tangible result of the interstate Commerce Bill. The law does not prohibit free pusses between points within a State, but many companies will decide to apply tbe principle generally. State legislators will be imperatively called on to enact similar local laws where they do not already exist Tbe pass system is doomed, and many a man, witn natural tendencies to lelf-respect, who bas profited by it pecuniarily, will nevertheless be glad of it Every person will then be placed on the same level by tbe common carriers, and those who pay for "their tickets will be relieved of tbe unpleasant consciousness that they are paying also for corporation favors to somebody else. Tbe public will no longer be called upon to pay the bribes given to insure parLiality against itself on the part of influential persons.

Nen York World. Bancroft's Habits. George Bancroft, the historian, Is fortunate in having a faithful German servant, who has lived with him for twelve years, since he was minister to Berlin. He wakes him every morning at seven, has his bath ready for him, and prepares his clothing for the day.

At 8 o'clock he serves him his breakfast in the library, the principal feature of which Is white wheaten bread. The historian then reads his letters, attends to bis business, and, if tbe weather is pleasant, goes out to ride. His granddaughter sits with him after dinnuei and efforts are made to interest him, so that he shall not retire too early aud pass a wakeful night. He is very rctrular in his habits. Ou tbe fourth day of every mouth his valet goes with him to the barber's where his tieard is trimmed.

He is passionately devoted to roses, and his collection here and at Newport is not surpassed by any in tbe country. Friends who go abroad know that they can make him happy by bringing or sending to him specimens of some new roses. The devotion of Mr. Bancroft's servitor is remarkable, and to this man's watchful care may be attributed the preservation of the historian's life. Cor.
