ran to pick him up. But the man ma

Just as traveller was writing his name
on the register Of a Leayenworth hotel, a
bedbug appeared and took its way across
the page. The man paused and remark
ed: "I've been bled by St. Joe heas,
bitten by Kansas City spiders, and inter-

A Lady recently advertised in New

other in the same journal asks for "a

A Lady was urged by her friends to
marry widower, and as an argument
they spoke of his children. "Children"
replied the lady, ''are like toothpicks-a

MARRYIN G. A FORTUNE.

'Yes, I'll do it. Ralph, even if she is
scraggy, worthless, hairless, dried up,
yellow, vinegar-faced old maid. I'll mar
ry her-or, rather her fortune - and so
saying he leaned back in his chair, and
commenced putting away as coolly at his
cigar, as though marrying were the most
commonplace, uninteresting affair ever
dreamed of.

man." return ed his companion, per

love is all moonshine! mere creature of
the fancy-for | have never seen pretty
girl yet that could set my heart palpi-
tating. Money is what poor briehess
lawyer wants, not love; its great deal
more substantial, too.
Don't doubt it; but 1 wouldn't be
tied to an old vixen for any considera-
tion," responded Ralph; land in my
opinion, Bart, you are fool if yea heave
yourself away. There, now, that advice
is free gratis--no fee asked-only do tell
me the whole story"
Il can do that in few words. About
week. ago [ saved fine-,ooking but
equity old gentleman from being upset
out of his corriage on Broadway. He
was profuse in his thanks, learned my
name, said he knew me BY reputation,
told me he Yves wealthy, with but one
child, daughter, and if / would come
down to Sea View, where he intended to
pass few weeks, he would make match
between me and her. I modestly sug-
gested that the lady in question might
object, but he insisted that she could not:
she was devoted to him, and heart-whole.
There it is, verbatim. 1 then made in
quiries of friend what kind of girl Mr..
Lafourn's daughter was, and he told me
she was scraggy old maid. I have her
in my minds eye. but it's no drawback.
III marry for money, and let her after
wards take to her cats, just as she does
now. That's all / am too lazy to work. -
And he relapsed into profound silence,
wondering secretly what time on the
morrow Mr.. Lafourn and dis daughter
would arrive.
There, pa, you dear old goose listen
to the description of your Nelll" ex-
claimed pretty little Nelly Lafourn, ar
ranging the curtains so that the old gen.
tleman could overhear the conversation

gentlemen just mentioned.

REVELATION IN ROUMANIA.

One of the first results Of the action of
Russia in freeing herself from the letters
with which she was bound in 1856, and
standing forth as one of the leading pow
ers of the world, is the declaration of in
dependence by the Danubian principal
ties. The three ancient kingdoms of
Servia, Wallachia and Mol6avia, united
under the recent name of Roumania,
were placed, in 1854, under the nominal
sovereignty to Prince Charles of Hohen
zollern Ia brother of the noted Leopold),
and attached to Turkey. The allegiance
of the provinces to the latter government
extended only to the rendering of an an
nual tribute to the Sublime Porte.
The people of the provinces, who num-
Der but little over three millions. have
always been dissatisfied with their con-
nection with the Ottoman empire, and
have long been looking to Russia for de-
liverance from so odious an allegiance.
They belong to the Sclayonic race, are
members of the Greek Church. Their
language also closely resembles that of
Russia. These ties all seemed to estab-
lish feeling of friendliness toward the
people Of the provinces on the part of
Russia, but the latter power, during the
last fifteen years, has scarcely been in a
position to render them substantial aid.
Now, however, the position of Russia
has encouraged the Roumanians to de-
clare themselves independent, believing,
as they evidently do, that they can look
to the Gar for more than moral sup
poat. There is, indeed, but little doubt
that the government of Russia conniyed
IN this revolutionary action, and is alto
gether responsible for it.
But Prince Charles has friends in Eu-
rope stronger even than Russia. His
intimate connection with the Prussian
royal family secures him the support OF
that kingdom. This state of affairs
would have been impossible year ago,
when the relations of Russia and Prussia,
instead Of being friendly, as at present,
were somewhat antagonistic. The Dan
ubians are also entitled to the sympathy
Of all those over the world who
saw, in 1854, the monstrosity of an ALI
ance which forced Christian communi
ties to become subject to the infdel mon
arch Of half civilized Mohommedar
nation.
The inhabitants Of Roumania will I'M
doubtedly succeed in throwing off then
allegiance to Turkey. Whether they
will remain independent is a question Of
comparatively little Importance. 1t is
very probable that they would prefer an.
nexation to Russia or Prussia to a pre-
carious independence. The matter vii
perhaps, come before the coming genera
conference at London, 1T certainly will
if the discussion o. any other than the
Black Sea question is permitted.

a HEALTHY TowN.-Our New York
special dispatch of yesterday contained
the following intelligence.

special dispatch OF yesterday contained
the following intelligence.
Murders never more frequent here than
now. During the forty eight hours ending Monday
noon there have been five homcides and thirteen at
tempts TO KILL nine men shot and stabbed yes
teTday alone.'
This is one of the innumerable facts
showing what nice place New York is to
live and die in, especially die in. It ap-
pears that the average homicides and at
tempted homicides is nine per day. This
makes sixty-three per week, and three
thousand three hundred and seventy five
per annum. Washington never fought
battle in which so many of his troops
were placed hors du combat as fall under
the knife, and bludgeon, and pistol shot
every year in the chief city of this re-
public. But the homicides constitute
very small proportion of the crimes
committed in that city. To one murder,
there are hundred other felonies-lar-
cenies, robberies, entertainments, Fisk
isms. arsons, woman beatings. etc., etc.
There is no city, perhaps, in the world,
where there is so much crime, punished
and UNPUBLISHED, as there is in New
York, where the Democratic party has
everything its own way.

you can do, and this is one you can
make drinking unpopular and disgrace
full among the young. You can utterly
discountenance all drinking in your own
house, and you can hold in suspicion
every young man who touches the cup.
You know that no young man who
drinks can safely be trusted with the
happiness of any woman, and that he
is as unfit as man can be for woman 5
society. Have this understood, that
every young man who drinks is socially
prescribed. Bring up your children to
regard drinking as not only dangerous
but disgraceful. Place temptation in no
mans way. If men VIII make beasts of
themselves, let them do la other society
than yours. Ifyour mercenary husbands
treat their customers from private stores
kept in their counting shame them
into decency by your regard for the honor
of your home. Recognize the living,
terrible fact that wine has always been,
and is to day, the curse of your sex that
it steals the hearts of men away from
you, that it dries up your prosperity,
that it endangers your safety, that it can
only bring you evil. IF social custom
compels you to present wine at your
feasts, rebel against it, and make social
custom in the interests of virtue and
purity. The matter is very much in your
own hands. The women of the country,
In what is called polite society, can do

Still Onward and Upward.

The extraordinary increase that has
takeN place in the sale of Hostetters Stom-
ach Bitters during the past year is another
proof that an intelligent people, although
they may try all things, hold fast only to
that which is good. No amount of puffery
can lift inferior articles 10 the position Of
standard specifics. To use the words of
Tom Payne, they may go up like rocket,
but al Re sure to come down ANONYMOUSLY
like its extinguished stick. Hundreds Of
such nostroms have gone up and come
down since the introduction of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, nearly the fifth OF a GEN.
fury ago. Yet it still remains the supreme
tonic of the age. 1t has not, and never has
had, rival in efficacy or popularity, and
now stands at the head Of al proprietary
remedies manufactured on this side of the
Atlantic. In every civilized community on
this continent, or in South America, it is
the accepted remedy for dyspepsia, bilious
complaints, constipation, general debility,
nervous weakness and many other I'M
pleasant or dangerous maladieS. A medi-
cine so widely extended Is Of course pirated
and initiated by dealers without conscience
or integrity.
Therefore, let every man and woman who
designs 10 purchase the genuine Hostetter's
stomach Bitters, see to it that they have
what they pay for, and not the results of an
infamous imposture. Look carefully at
label, stamp and name blown in the glass,
and do not forget that the true ba1e,s is sold
in BOTTLES only
