An Ingenius Rogue.

The Paris Figaro, a propos of a re-
ward of 800 offered in its columns for
the return of $500, recalls an incident
which occurred few years ago. A mer-
chant, having lost a large sum, offered
reward Of 500, but with very slender
expectation of regaining his money.
Much to his surprise, however, a man
came to him a few days after, to announce
that he had found his pocket-book con-
tanning the missing seven notes fer ], 900
francs each. He forthwith proceeded to
say that, in returning the money, he
had only done his duty, and looked for
no reward, but that times had lately gone
SO terribly hard with him that he would
be grateful for the hundred dollars as a
1oGn, to be repaid as soon as fortune be-
gan,-to smile. The worthy merchant,
much moved, protested that the proffer-
ed reward was nothing more than a meet
recognition of his conduct, and thanked
him warmly. Before leaving, the re-
storer of the purse begged him to see
that the number of the notes was cor
rect, end they were forthwith counted.
When the man left, the merchant re-
paired to madame's apartment In great
glee. He told his story of superlatiye
honesty to an admiring circle, and then
half mechanically recommended his ex-
animation of his treasures Horrible to
relate, a close examination proved that,
instead of being for thousand francs
each, they were for that number OF
.francs-in other words, the notes were
forged, SO that. besides the original loss,
the merchant was minus the reward.

A DUBUQUE girl, Miss Mclaughlin by
name, who works hard for her living,
had a casual acquaintance with fellow
named Smith. Smith rushed into her
presence one day and swore he would
shoot himself if he didn't raise some
money that day-that he was hard up,
out of work, desperate, etc. She took
pity on him, loaned him $36-al she
had-and told him he could pay it back
when he got something to do. He
finally got situation, but didn't repay
the loan, and abused his sympathetic
friend scandaloslsly whenever she dunned
him. She sued him. but only succeeded
inrecovering part of it, and so, last week,
she bought good horsewhip, called on
Mr.. Smith and gave him as good thrash
ing as man ever got. Correct.

Prostitution Practice.

Luckily for the sick, the IDEA that it necessary
to reduce their bodily strength in order to cure
them, is fast dying out. Modern science recos-
nizes the fact that disease is of itself more than
sufficiently depressing to body and mind, and does
not need to be assisted in its inroads upon the
vital energy of the system by violent purgations
and other facilitating mixtures. Prostitution is,
in short, played OUT" and the practitioners who
still cling to it few and far between that they
cannot, like their predecessors of the same fatal
school who fourished half century ago, fill the
graveyard with their victims. The Introduction
Of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters in 1852 was the
heaviest blow that the old practice of depletion
had ever received, and from that time to the
ent, the celebrity Of the great vegetable invig-
GRANT has increased, the purgfng, clustering,
effect of this famous preventive and remedy is to
strengthen, build up, regulate and tranuuilze not
to weaken, break down and violently disturb the
system. It ia tonic Alternative and neryine wi tn
pure stimulant as its propelling and distributing

DEMONSTRATING elements of the medicine through

aggravated by cold and damp it has no equal

MILLIONS ON THE STRIKE In spite of
the enormous amount of capital invested
in the promotion of Intemperance, the
Missionaries of Sobriety have no reason
to be disheartened. The strike against
alcoholic drinks. is not confined to the
ordinary liquors of commerce. 1t is .ex-
tending to all medicines of which ardent
spirits form a component part. The
belief that stimulants of this nature are
slow poiso1as gains ground everywhere.
Eminent PSYCHOLOGISTS preach the doc
trine, and the dissecting knife and the
microscope afford post naorteme evidence
of its truth. Fortunately at the very
time when our distinguished surgeons
were making the experiments which led
to this conclusion, sagacious member
of the profession, Dr. Joseph Walker, of
California, was perfecting a vegetable
tonic, possessing all the restorative prop
critics claimed for the spirituous astrin-
gents, and free from their deadly sting.
To those demoralizing, health destroying
potions his famous VINEGAR BTTTERs
seem to be giving the coup dc grace.
The demand for them declines, while the
commercial and sanitary success of the
new medicine is complete And we hear
daily of cases of dyspepsia, biliousness,
malarious fever, rheumatism, constipa-
ton, general and local debility, govt,
kidney disease, ETC., ETC., that have sue
cumbed to the great restorative after
resisting all others. Com.

THE DESTROYER DEsTRoYED.--The
citizens of Bloom township have been
greatly annoyed for several years past
by a huge black bear, which has in
tested the neighborhood, destroying
their bees and sheep and opening their
apple holes and caves and robbing spring
houses. Numerous efforts were made to
capture the beast, but he always eluded
his assailauts, who after days hunt
would return home with one or two dogs
less than they started out with in the
morning The dogs would frequently
come in contact with bruin who would
embrace the opportunity to crush the
life out of every dog he could get his
paws on. At length, after many efforts
to capture the beast, on Monday week,
while a fourteen-year-old boy, son of
John Bilger, was passing through a
laurel thicket, looking for pheasants, he
heard the brush swapping aud cracking
little ways off to the left, and getting
his old "fusee" ready to draw "a bead on
anything that might turn up, to his as
tonishmcnt Mr.. Bear elevated his snout
and front parts upon large log. There
was no chance to run and but little time
for debate. The boy blazed away, the
ball striking the beast between the eyes,
passing up through the brain into the
neck, and before the boy could reload
his piece, bruin fell over dead, whereat
all Bloom township rejoices and the boy
is quite hero, and every twelve year
old wishes he was that boy. The beast
weighed between $50 and 400 pounds
and was covered outside and inside with
white fat, in some places three inches
thick. He was as "fat as butter" and
no mistake. 1t is evident honey, cream,
mutton, apples, corn and in fact every
thing he destroyed sat well on his
stomach.-[Clearfold Republican, 14th

SUrcIDE.-Dr. Holland has "Topic"
in SoR1BNER's for May, on the recent
discussion of suicide, from which we
quote the closing paragraph
If a man is nothing but an animal, if
this life is all there is of his existence,
and the question simply concerns the
amount OF comfort 10 be got out of it in
this transient world, why, let him do as
he likes with himself and his friends /;
but he who regards the present scene as
only the foreground of an infinite spirit
ual feature, through which, if one tread
faithfully the prescribed passages of pain
as we'll as pleasure, he shall fad himself
in higher pathways, as consequence, at
the last,-we say he will Ike life
whether it he convenient or inconvenient
and hold it as the gift of God, inalienable
by any rerson Of infrnity or suffering, or
hopeless disease, or cost to other life
through necessary ministry. The doc
trines of Prof. Newman and Mr., Tolle-
mache are uncertain doctrines. They
carry us back into barbarism-back into
the darkness in which children killed
parents that became burden to them,
and mothers strangled infants that could
only inherit their own sufferings. 1t is
an Infamous criticism of the divine wis
dom, an insult to Providence, an assault
upon the safeguards OF society, and a
reflection upon human nature and des
tiny. from which all Christian manhood
recoils as from the touch of serpent.

FIRE.-Last Friday afternooa, 18th
inst, our citizens were startled by the
alarm Of 6re, which proved to be in the
new house owned by N. B. Watterson,
situated at the west end of Centre street.
In few minutes the house with nearly
all che contents was entirely consumed.
The FIRE originated in defective fue,
and smoke was first discovered emerging
from the roof. The loss will reach
$1,000 with an insurance of $500. Mr.
Wattsssoa had only just got his house
ready to plaster, and on the day of the
fire had new spoutiug pat up, and to
see property thus vanish into heap of
ashes was, indeed, sorrowful. At one
time the house owned by Chas. Burns,
aud now occupied by G. II. McCauley,
was thought to be in imminent danger,
but through the cxertions of the bucket
brigade who worked manfully the further
lrogress of the flames was stayed. At
the time the FIRE was first discovered
had there been a ladder, of sufficient
length to have reached the roof, at hand,
the house might have been saved with
little effort. OF course there are always
many ifs in case Of FIRE, but, of one
thing we are certain Ridgway, needs
some way of controlling fires aside from
the prineval bucket-brigade. Although
every precautionary measure may be
taken to guard against fires, still fires do
occur and would it not be a wise plan to
take steps toward getting fire engine
now, rather than wait until the expert
ence of fire has taught us another sad
lesson?

THE FIRST THOUSAND DOLLARS
The first thousand dollars that a young
man earns aud saves, over and above his
expenses in earning it, will ordinarily
stamp upon his mind and character two
Of the most important conditions of sue
cess-industry and econ omy. 1t is far
better for him that he should earn the
first thousand dollars. than that they
should have been given him. If he
earns it, he knows what it is worth, since
it represents to him very considerable
amount of effort. If he saves it while
earning much larger sum, he acquires
thereby habit of economy. Neither of
these could be taught by mere gift.
On the whole, it is no disadvantage for a
young man 10 begin poor. Most persons
who become rich in this country were
once poor, aud in their poverty they
gained habits from the stern necessities
of their condition; which in the end
resulted in riches. Those who are born
with silver spoons in their mouths, and
spend their early years in idleness and
prodigality, seldom amount to much as
men in the particular business of life.
