Colonel Cockerell, the American war correspondent, who has just died at Cairo, early in his career shot a man. A public-house politician came to him when he was editor of a paper in St. Louis and coarsely demanded the retraction of a paragraph in his paper. Cockerell refused and the man drew a revolver, but before he could level it the editor, who had his own shot gun handy, put a bullet through the bully's bruin. No jury in St, Louis could be got to convict him. The Republican Convention, held in St. Louis last week, which resulted in the election of Major McKin'ey as their candidate for the Presidency, was expected to be attended by 100,000 visitors. At such gatherings great heat and party strife is always shown. Mr Ira P. Wetmore, a prominent rea estate agent of San Angelo, Texas, has used Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy in his family for several years as occasion required, and always with perfect success. He Bays : " I find it a perfect cure for our baby when troubled with colio or dysentery. I now feel that my outfit is not complete without a bottle of this Remedy at home or on a trip away from home.
