Died Suddenly of Heart Disease.

How common is The announcement
Thousands are suddenly swept into
eternity by this fatal malady. The dis
ease generally has its origin in impure
blood filled with irritating, poisonous
materials, which, circulating through
the heart, irritates its delicate tissues.
Though the irritation may at first be
only slight, producing little palpita-
ton or irregular action, yet by and by
the disease becomes firmly seated, and
inflammation. or hypertrophy, or thick
ening of the lining membrane or of the
valves, is produced. How wise to give
early attention to a case of this kind.
Unnatural throbbing or pain in the re-
gion of the heart should admonish one
that all is not right, and if you would
preserve it from further disease, you
must help it to beat rightly by the use
of such remedy as will remove the
cause of the trouble. Use DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, before the
| disease has become too seated, and II
will, by its great blood purifying and
wonderful regulating properties, effect
a perfect cure. 1t contains medicinal
properties which act specifically upon
the tissues of the heart, bringing about
q healthy action. Sold by all first class

The New York Times.

A New York letter has the following
newspaper office gossip: "After Mr..
Raymond's death, until the accession of
Mr.. Jennings to the chief position, the
Times languished. Mr.. Bigelow presided
over the paper but a few weeks. He
was not suited to the position, nor was
the office suited with him. He was too
wealthy, too famous, too old, and too
few weeks he resigned, and a Mr.. Bacon,
a very pleasant young man, hardly more
than twenty-seven years old, took the
leadership. He was smart and keen,
but was not literally educated, and had
had too little experience of life. After
a short reign, he resigned and went to
Boston. Then came Mr.. Sheppard, a
big, putting old Englishman, who has
since gone to England in the interests
of the United States Treasury. He was,
like Mr.. Bigelow, too inactive. He
would drive down to the Times office
from the Metropolitan Hotel in his car
riage, late in the afternoon, and long
before midnight would be dreaming of
his beautiful young wife over his manu-
script, and nodding his head in the gas
light. He resigned, and Mr.. Jennings
came to the surface. For six years he
had been the American correspondent
of the London Times, position he could
not have held unless he had been man
of marked ability. He is a perfect steam
engine in the Times office, and no one of
the editors can tell when he will pounce
upon them next For an assistant he
has Major Williams, who used to be the
police reporter for the Times. In order
to illustrate trait of Mr.. jennings
character, we will mention an incident
which occurred in the Times office.
When Mr.. Tweed was arrested in New
York, the other day, the Tribune and
Herald got the news at late hour at
night, and had it in their next morn
ing's editions. The Tsn,es had not a
word about it. This was considered a
bad beat by the newspaper press,
and the Tribune made the most of it,
Somebody in the Times office had to be
held responsible. The result was, a
week or so after, the city editor and his
assistant (who had been on the Time,
some sixteen years. had their official
heads chopped off by Mr.. Jennings
They will leave the Times in about &
week, to be succeeded by new editors
who will probably remain until they are
beaten"

gloss and freshness of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
tho hair where the follicles are de-
atroycd, Or the glands atrophied and
dccayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandrutf, which is often so I'M
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
riou5 to the hair, the Vigor can. only
benefit but. not harm it. If wanted
merely for % HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be 70, nd so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

Passed Through the Fire.

The great jewelry house of N. Matson &
Co., though burnt out at the October fire,
is reopened at 4Sl Wabash avenue, with a
full aud magnificent stock of diamonds,
American and fine imported watches, rich
jeweIry of all kinds and styles, sterling sill
yer and plated Ware, French clocks, bronzcs,
Russian leather goods, etc, which they offer
to the trade at the lowest cash prices.
The senior partner, Mr.. Matson, has been in
the business twenty-five years, been burnt
out twice, and always paid his obligations in
full. Mr.. Pike, but five years q partner, is
a man of wealth and thorough business
habits. The other partners, Messrs. Norton
and Higley, have grown up in the business,
and the whole combination make the strong
est business firm. Though their loss by the
fire was large, they asked no favors, paid
everything at maturity, and now display a
new stock commensurate with the wants of
the Northwest. Their great success in Sc
curing much larger trade than any other
iewelry house in the West, has not been
achieved by putting, but is due
l. To their large capital, which enables
them to buy to the best advantage and sell
at the lowest price;
@ To their large stock-worth nearly half
a million-selected, for quality and style,
with the best judgment, to meet the wants OF
Western people; and
3. To their upright dealing, which has
won the confidence of their patrons.
No class of goods offers reater opportuni-
ties or temptations for deception and fraud
than iewelry, and it is the browning merit
of this house that their goods are always
Just what they are represented to be, and
that purchasers here are sure to get their
moneys worth.
The reputation of this house at the East
is as good as in the West. Having occasion,
recently, to inquire of some of the leading
ewelry houses in New York as to their com.
mercial standing in that city, they replied
that they had known Mr.. Matson for
twenty-five years, and the firm of N. Mat
son & Co. since it had existence, that the
house was first class in all respects, with a
character always to be relied on, and a capt.
| tai far in excess of their business require
ments that they had not asked for extern,
sion or compromise since the fire, but had
paid all their bills at maturity; that their
| capital, despite their losses by fire, was am
! Pile, and their credit unimpaired. 1t IS but
natural that house with such a character
| and record, sustaining so signally in the
| terrible fiery trial the mercantile honor OF
| Chicago, and possessing unrivaled facilities
| for procuring the choicest goods in the
| worlds best markets, should be, and be re-
