A BOLD HAND AT THE HELM, OR HELM
BoLD.-A paragraph has been going the rounds
of the press quite recently, stating that Helm
bold, the celebrated New York Druggist pays
the Tribune of that city over $4,000 per year
for advertising. Helmbold's business must be
immense to enable him to pay such sum OF
money to one paper out of some fifteen or SIX
Teen hundred in which he advertises ny ms
vertising, Helmbold has made his "Buchu'
and other proprietary compounds standard
remedies in almost every household in the
baton is never gained for a ncstrum, not only
recommend Helmbold's preparation, but quite
generally use them in their private practice.
If some thousands of business men, who have
been content to plod along in the old fogy foot
steps of their ancestors, who looked upon
newspaper advertising as money thrown away,
had but possessed Helmbold's sagacity and
courage, they might, perhaps figure quite as
largely in the income-tax returns.-Neao YORK.

DAD AFFAlh-A man 0ccedentdtty, ana pfO6G-
ably fatally, shot.-On Saturday afternoon tho
brig Gamma, Capt. Coombs, arrived at this port
fro'" Hawai-" and went to her dock at Uninn
wharf. The crew went off up town and one of
the men, named George Kicker, returned about
nine o'clock with some purchases he had
made. He went into the cabin where the
Captain was keeping ship, and showed his
purchases to him, which included revolver,
at the same time saying that he had returned
the cartridges he had first bought for the pistol
as they didn't fit. The Captain said, 'Iet's see
your revolver" at the same time asking if it
was loaded, and receiving in answer (as he un-
derstood) in reply, that it was not loaded. al
though Kicker says he said it was loaded. AS
the Captain took the pistol he cooked it, as it
is customary in loading breech-loading revov-
ers, turning at the same time, as he supposed,
away from Kicker. By some unaccountable
accdentjust as the captain cooked the pistol,
it exploded, and Kicker, who the captain sup
posed was out of line of the weapon, appeared
to be directly in front of him, in STOPPING pos
ture, and cried out, ''Oh God! captain, you
have shot me- The capt9in Immediately
placed Kicker in chair, helped to get his
clothes off and examined the wound. He then
told Kicker he must go for help. Kicker beg
ged him not to leave him, fearing that he might
die before tht captains return, but the captain
told him that he must have somebody there for
they two were alone in the vessel. The cap.
tain ran up street and into store where he
begged the people to send a physician and po-
liceman and then went back to the brig where
he found Kicker had got into his berth. No one
coming, the captain went on deck and hailed
an old man and his son who he then saw on
small boat near by, and begged them to come
on board, telling them he had shot man.
They came and heard Ricker's story, who said
that he had been accidentally shot by the cap
tain, and then the old man went and got the
police and physician. The latter probed the
wound but could not find the bullet 1.-THE man
was hit in the abdomen just by the naveD and
desired consultation with other physicians
They were procured, and decided to convey
Kicker to the Marine Hospital. The physi
| clans were Drs. French, LIE Prohon and Chad
wick. At tho time of the removal Kicker com
planned of a slight chill and some pain. Yes
terday morning peritonites set in and the pa
tents pulse was up to 100, and the physician
gave as their opinion that he could not survive
forty-eight hours. Kicker is about twent.
| years of ago and has mother residing in Ban
gor. Capt. Coombs is from Islesborough, ant
is in deep distress over the melancholy acct
dent and, in addition to the anguish of min
caused by this affair, received the sad news o
the death of his wife only half hour after til
accident occurred
