hosts of Southern friends who have experienced
their efficacy, they would have hesitated before
placing an article OF such sterling merit on mar
ket flooded with deleterious compounds hoellhg the
name of Stomach Bitters. Our Senior, however,
having at the solicitation of those friends expended
on the manufacture of the GREY JACKER BIZ
TIERS the experience acquired in half a lifetime
devoted to the preparation of Tonic Digestive sum
ulauts and discovered their immense superiority
over all other Stomach Bitters, we have unheslta

A Strange StOry-A Singular Re-
union.
From the San Francisco Californian


From the San Francisco Californian
In lsl7 young physician, who had just
graduated from the Missouri State Univer-
sity, and returned to his home in Illinois TO
practice his profession led TO the altar
lady who had won his love. The young ply
sician, with that professional ardor which
burns so brightly In the hearts of all stu
dents, had on his return home procured a
subject or cadaver for dissection. by desc
Grating the village graveyard. By some
means this fact became known, and a war
rant was issued for his arrest and placed in
the hands of an officer to serve, which he
did few moments after the marriage cere-
mony was performed. The crime being
felony, the bridegroom's position may read
lily be imagined 10 have been extremely un-
enviable, and the prospects of a prison cell
being anything but agreeable, he deter
mined to make his escape.
The officer having granted him the privi-
lege of saying few words In private TO
his bride, he retired with her to room,
bade her farewell jumped from the win
dow and escaped. He was pursued for
many days, but finally managed to elude
his pursuers, and settle in Missouri. A
year later he wandered into New Mexico,
and from thence, in the course of a few
years, he found his way into California.
During his wanderings he had failed to
correspond with his wife, and she, belev-
iiB utdl' dRdlils AlJtI u lllnS
he learned this fact, but determined to re-
main dead to her, and 1t was not until a
few months ago he altered his determina-
tion.
Happening to pick up a paper published
in one of the Western cities, he read an ac
count of the death of the husband of his
wife, and knowing her 10 be tree, he wrote
TO her, stating that he still lived, and cher
ished her memory as green as when he kiss
ed her lips in parting nineteen years before.
He told her that he was still free, and asked
her to come and enjoy with him the fortune
he had accumulated. The wifewidow re-
ceived the letter, and, while she read, the
early love returned, and she determined to
join him.
Disposing of her property, she, with her
daughter twelve years of age, took passage
for California where they arrived in
safety, and were met on the wharf by the
old husband, who conducted them to the
Cosmopolitan Hotel. where they remained
till license was procured and minister
remarked the parties, after which they
proceeded to the house that had been pre-
