We have frequently heard of men who
had i'll luck in MARRIAGE but Thomas
Francis, of Albany, has been particularly
unfortunate In that relation. His frst
wife killed herself thirty-frlr years ago /.
nine years after, his second spouse ran
away from him aud died Of destitution
in Illinois six years later, his third con
sort was drowned. In 1858 his fourth
helpmate was killed and he, having been
convicted of the murder, was sent to
prison for life, but pardoned out. In
another decade the fifth partner of his
bosom mysteriously disappeared; and
very recently the sixth welded idol OF
bis soul sought peace and oblivion by
hanging herself to bedpost.

THEY tell droll story of Colorado
BARKER whose customers complained that
his liquor was weak and impotent. This
stimulated his ingenuity, aud he devised
compound mixture of pure spirits,
poison oak and butternut which agreea-
bly, astonished those who partook there
of; the first imbiber who tried it fairly
yelled with delight; the next took two
drinks and turned double somersault
in front of the shebnug, and finally a
peddler, under the influence of this ex-
traordinary draught, actually stole his
OVID pack, and hid it in the woods. The
bar-room has greatly risen in reputation
in those parts, and its keeper is looked
upon as public benefactor.

all remedies ever offered to the public Tor
the safe, certain, speedy, and permanent
cure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Feyer,
whether Of short or long standing. lie re-
fers to the entire Western and Southwest
ern country TO bear him testimony to the
truth of the assertion, that in no case what
ever will it fail to cure, if the directions are
strictly followed and carried out. In
great many cases q single dose has been
sufficient for cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle, with a
ncrfect restoration OF the general health.
IL is. however, prudent, and in every case
more certain to cure, if its use is continued
in smaller doses for week or two after the
disease has been checked, more especially in
dificult and long standing cases. Usually,
this medicine will not require any aid to
keep the bowels in good order; should the
patient. however, require cathartic medi-
s;ns after having taken three or four doses
of the Tonic. single dose of BULL 5 VEG

SENSIBLE MoVEMENr-The great fire in
Chicago appears to have had sautary effect
in one way ut least in that city The Radical
and Democratic County Committees held n
consultation and agreed upon fair division of
all the city aud county offices in proportion to
the relative strength of the TWO parties The
Republicans being largely in the majority, the
apportionment Of course gives them the lions
share. they taking the offices of Mayor, Judge
oil the Supreme Court, County Treasurer, nine
out of fifteen County Commissioners, twelve
nut of the twenty Aldermen, and some other
minor Offices, while the Democrats take the
City Treasurer, Judge of the Circuit Court.
and the balance of the Aldermen aud County
Commissioners. Hon. Joseph Medill, of the
Chicago Tribune, has been nominated for
Mayor, which is regarded as the best that
could be MADE, and it is said that the best men
in both parties have been selected for all the
Offices This is about the most sensible move
the people of Chicago could have made under
the circumstances, and it will result IN their
having honest men in office and to the best
Interests of their city.

NEW YORK CAPITALISTS.

We had the pleasure, on last Tuesday of a
call from our old friend and former fellow.
townsman, Mr.. s. G. Rosenbaum, and his
brother, Mr.. Joseph f. Rosenbaum. of New
York city. They are on visit to the Basin
tor the purpose of examining our quartz lodges.
aud more particularly of testing the ore of the
Grambrinus ledge, situated few miles east Of
Idaho City.
Mr.. Joseph +. Rosenbaum is here in the in.
terest of New York company recently organ
lied Tor the purpose of investing some of their
surplus capital in our mines, and especially to
make careful examination of the Gambrinus.
and for that purpose to call to his assistance
the aid of experts and old quartz miners
Should Mr. R0senbaum be satisfied with the
mine, his. company proposes to buy it and i'm.
mediately commence work developing the
ledge.
Mr.. ROsenbaum seems to be a shrewd and
careful business man, and though he has had
little experience in quartz operations he appre-
clates the situation and will steer clear of the
shoals which have heretofore swamped the en-,
terprises of eastern companies who have in.
vested their means in Idaho quartz. He in.
forms us that there is any amount of capital
in New York city seeking Investment. and all
that is required to divert large portion of it
to Idaho is to satisfy eastern capitalists that
their money will not be thrown away. or sunk
i'll worthless wildcat mines We hope Mr..
Rosenbaum may have every facility afforded
him for making careful examination of our
various lodges and We know that our quartz
will stand the test, and that proper manage
ment, alone, is required to place many OF our
lodges on the list of divldend-p paying mines.
