Ny Dear Friend-Hoping that this statement of

have usually treated the numerous certificates for
Patent Medicines and advertising doctors, namely,
the worst species of humbug and swindling
whereby the unfortunate sick were deprived of
their money and what little health they had left;
but the hope that nme one may be benefited by
your treatment, as | have been, induces me to
make the following statement:
Some ten years since had severe attack of
Ftrer and 1gue, since which time have been trou-
bled with n ChrOnic Diarrhea, and for the last
three years it had assumed violent form TRIED
all remedies which heard recommended as well
many eminent physicians, some of whom would
give me relief for few days or weeks, soon to
return again with increased violence, constantly
gaining on me and wearing me out, notwthstand-

Evans of the Major, who bad escorted his
guests to the carriage.
"Oh, that's Watsons to be surey' was
the reply.
Watson's be hanged Say Major, has
he paid his bill ?'' asked Evans maliciously.
"Paid his billP Lord bless you, he is
rich enough to buy ont this whole concern,
and to hire you and me for call boys p
Explain yourself, then, STRIP demand,
ed Evans irately. "Did You not inform
the guests that he could not pay his bill,
and that you had sent him up stairs out Of
his second floor suit?''
"Not / Some of the clerks may have
said something, to which others added
more but really thought too much of the
gentleman to mention the matter to any
one. Now it turns out that it was all a
little game of his own.'
"Little game? What object could he
have have have had in playing such hide
and seekP' demanded Evans again, in
tones peremptory.
"Well, i'll part, 1 suppose, to test the
value of friendship in general and the pow
er of money in particular-both of which
| have no doubt he has done to his entire
satisfaction. Ha-ha-ha What do you
think about it, Mr.. Evans?''
"Think about it Why, that it was
it was"
What?''
"Why, very artful dodge-nothing
less.'
Capital dodge, that's fact seeing that
as poor man, he won Miss Oromanes,.
and"
Now, what do you mean2" fairly shout
elk Evans in his excitement.
"Mean? That before ten o'clock on the
morning of the day when he was to have
had his walking papers, by your orders, he
was dead in love with the heiress, and
"And what, sir?,'
"And she dead in love with him."
"It's false, know p cried the man, now
white in the face from some inexplicable
emotion.
"False, eh.P Going off in that carriage
together to the preachers looks like it,
don't it ?''
Good heavens 70
The Majors conjecture was premature,
as he well knew; but the shot had struck
Evans to the heart, and he fairly staggered
to to seat. Evans had played long and
deep game to win the heiress. He had
long been her recognized suitor-he had
discounted her possessions in his gay life.
and the result was-he was dead broke
He left the watering place that day.

Importance of Punctuation.

The Importance of putting marks Of
punctuation in the right place, is illustrated

With slight change in punctuation, we
find him very singular man indeed:
Lord Palmerston then entered on his
head a white hat upon his feet large but
well-polished boots upon his brow; dark
cloud in his hand his faithful walking
stick in his eye meaning glare saying

In the following as punctuated, We count
eight different individuals:
"The persons inside the coach were MI

"Plenty of friends now, but let them find

prietor, walking out upon the piazza, ap-
preached young man leaning against one
of the front pillars.
"Mr. Watson, your bill, see is in ar

Why is it?"
The Young man flushed at first, as if in
anger then smile overspread his hand
some face. "I know l am delinquent
Major Snow, but can't pay .at present"
"Do you expect money soon?'
"Well, really don't know who should
send me anything from their surfeit of
cash.
"Then am to understand that you are
not only unable to pay, but do not expect
to be able ?''
Undoubtedly, Major"
"Sory, Watson, for you have been a
favorite of the season, and I don't like to
turn you out before the break up nor will

and take up with one suited to your cir

"You are very good, Major, and I guess
I'll have to consent.

to the house was just ready to leave with
Mr.. Flint, and was feeling in a pretty good
humor; Mr.. Coolidge was very bland: he
said he had looked over the bill and there was
no particular item with which he found fault
but it was with the amount of the bill told
him he could not expect a bill to run six
months without running up; he said he was
resolved to take this thing into court. because
it was high time to have high priced dress
makers taken down; "Why, Mr.. Coolidge

The acceptance of the throne of Spain
by Prince Amadeus Ferdinand Marie,
Duke d'Aosta, provides the Spaniards
with long sought monarch, the pursuit
of which has been one of difficulty for
themselves and neighbors. He is the third
child and second son of his Majesty King
Victor Emanuel, of Italy. The Duke was
born on the 30th of May, in the year 1915,
and is twenty-five years of age. His Royal
Highness holds the commission of lieuten-
ant general in the Italian army and chief
of a brigade of cavalry. He was married
on the 30th of May, in the year 1867, to
the Princess Marie Victoire Charlotte
Henrietta Jean, daughter ofPrince Charles
Emanuel Cisterna and Louisa Caroline
Ghislaihe, Countess de Merode. Being a
scion of the House of Savoy, whose an
tiquity is sufficient to suit kingdom OF
antiquarians, he will no doubt be accep-

The Observer says the typhoid and other
fevers are fearfully increasing in Dover and
adjoining towns in Piscataquis county, and
many deaths have already occurred. The
opinion among physicians is, that the conse-
quences are owing to the impure state of the
water which we use, and the exhalation ofthe
malaria which arises from ponds and other
marshy districts, which have been very low
and foul during the summer and fall. 1t is
recommended that water before being used
should be either scalded or boiled.

The old lady was killed many years ago, be-

the lightning being plainly visible at the pres
