To all, particularly invalids, spring

Fatal diseases may be caused by allow
ing the bowels to become constipated,
and the system to remain in disor.
dered condition, until the disorder has
time to develop itself. An ounce Of
prevention is worth pound of cure, is
an old and truthful saying. Therefore,
we advise all who are troubled with the
complaints now very prevalent-head-
ache. indigestion, disordered liver,
want OF appetite, nausea, or feverish
skin, to take. without delay, Schenck' g
Mandrake Pills. We know of no
remedy 30 harmless and decisive in it's
action. It at once strikes at the root
OF the disease and produces healthy
tone to the.system. People never need
suffer from ecy disease arising from ii
disordered condition of the liver, if
they would take this excellent medi-
cine when they feel the first indica.

should take three or four boxes of
these pills with them. They have an
almost instantaneous effect. They will
relieve the patient OF headache III one
or two hours. and will rapidly cleanse
the liver of surrounding bile, and will
eiiectunily prevent o bilious attack.
They are sold by all druggists.

The GRAND SECRET. The grand se.
cret in medication is to help nature.
Sustain and regulate-these are the
alpha and omega OF the only theory of
cure that has common sense for it's
basis. If the nervous system is shat
tered, the muscles weak, and the mind,
like the body, in state of partial col
lapse, what is best to do? Reason
teaches as the answer: Build up your
man. Brace him up as you would n
tottering edifice. The pabulum he
needs is tonic Alternative. Bring him
up out of the depths of debility and
dependency with Hostetter's Bitters.
They cannot injure. A child may take
them, in doses suited to it's years,
without the possibility of harm. The
enfeebled vital powers are us sure to
respond energetically to their action
as the wilted grass is to erect its blades
under the vivifying and refreshing
rain. In oil cases OF debility, the Bit
ters are absolutely required. There is
no substitute or succeedaneum that
will fill their place. Resort 10 the
most wonderful of modern tonics, and
all will be we'll. The sick, when at
deaths door, regret that they did not
take tho right antidote at the right
time. Thousands who are now suffer
ing from the early twinges of liver
complaint and dyspepsia will be pros
trate on sick beds q month hence, if
they do not arrest the mischief at once.
Nothing is more easy. A course OF
the purest and best vegetable tonic
and Alternative known in modern phar-
macy, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
will restore the digestive organs to
their full vigor, and bring the disor-
dered liver into condition of perfect
health, as certainly as sunshine dissi.
pates the morning vapors. M3lt3Tl

A WORD TO OLD RESIDENTS.


1t is believed by many, and with good
reason, that our county is soon to witness
another era of mining prosperity. The
introduction of new mining systems and
new machinery; the knowledge Of the
fact that with these new methods and ap-
pliances poor claims can be made to pay
well while good ones will pay proportion
ately better added to the fact that the
fields of mining labor are much more ex-
tensive than were at one time supposed,
opens up promising future before u.s.
We fully share in this opinion. And as
it is upon the prosperity of the mining
interest that the prosperity of all other in
terests hinge, we are desirous of seeing
the prospective benefits extend to all.
We see no reason why our old miners
and pioneers, the men who have had
their homes here for the ten, fifteen, or
twenty years past, should not come in for
share Of Fortunes favors. if the fckle
dame has any to bestow. Probably there
is not one of our old residents but has in
his minds eye some place-some fiat,
bar, bench, or gravel deposit in the hills
which he has every reason to believe will
pay, if worked in the mode and manner
now coming into general use. Old min
ers do not now need to be reminded that
claims, which twenty years ago could not
be made to pay salt by the only methods
of mining then known, were worked with
splendid results ten years later. The
same rule will hold good now with much
of the ground rejected then. If good
volume of water can be had, with fair IA
ciities for getting rid of the tailings, a
great portion of the rejected ground can
now be made to pay nearly as we'll as the
original workings. For mining is becom-
ing more Of scientific and mechanical
nursuit. rather than one Of heavy labor,
as in former years. 1t is now matter
OF mind rather than muscle. More cap
ital is now required to fit up claim fol
working than in former years. but the
operating expenses when at work are
greatly lessened, while the amount OF ex-
ecution done is immensely greater. This
is the great distinction between the old
modes of mining and the new.
! But the knowledge Of the resources OF
partly y-worked benches, bars, or gravel
deposits possessed by old residents, will
amount to nothing unless they take step;
To make it of some account. Much oI
the territory we have described is as ye1
unclaimed for in past years it has moi
been DO. essed of any value. That day
has gone bv. There are but few placer'
now, or deposits of gravel in this county
but have value, contingent, of course
upon the proximity Of water and Other
auxiiaries of working. Every one o.
the old Trinity miners should now pu'
the knowledge he has gained in years o.
unpaid toll, to use that may be OF bsn
eft to him at no very distant day.

AFTER Us-THE DELUGE. At the
side Of the Central Pacific Railroad, in
Reno, is huge wooden tank, from which
the locomotives receive their supply of
water. The pipe from which the water
is led is foot and half in diameter, and
it escapes with great force and volume
when the gate is opened. Monday morn
ing, about two o'clock, when all the pas
sengers were wrapped in silent slumber,
the westward bound train came by, and,
as usual, stopped to take water, When
the tender was full, the engineer started
on, but from some cause the water pipe
was not closed, and the whole line of
sleeping cars received terrible deluge as
they passed by. The night being very
warm, nearly all the windows were up,
and as gallons Of water poured into them
upon the unconscious sleepers, yels and
screams and stranglings and chokings
filled the midnight air. The whole cars
were flooded, and many thought that the
last day had come sure enough, and that
the comet had bursted and the world
was being submerged. All the passen-
gers, without regard to appearance, rush
ed to the doors in body, but when the
cause of the inandation was discovered,
and the first excitement began to sub
side, there was general stampede for
wearing apparel, and the train started on
its way, bearing set of as badly drench-
ed and disconsolate-lo looking wretches as
ever crossed the mountains.-VT Virginia

DEATH BY THE RAGING FLOOD.

This is so far emphatically year of de-
struction by floods. The breaking of the
Mill River reservoir with the sickening
details Of loss of life and destruction of
property had scarcely ceased to form
subject of comment, when the news
came to US that the Mississippi had brok
en- through its levees, inundating thous-
ands of square miles of territory and
causing immense suffering. The hand
of charity was extended to the suffering
blacks and now, within week, the tele-
graph brings US Intelligence Of appalling
destruction of life AID property, in one
instance in our neighbCr State OF Ne
vada, ana again in PittsbUrg, Pennsyl-
vania. In Nevada the town Eureka was
devastated by water spout, twenty lives
lost and property to the amount Of $780,
600 swept away. "Cloud bursts " or
water-spouts, for the term seems to be
used in n synonymous sense, are peculiar
TO the climate of the Silver State. The
railroad track of the Central Pacific
was washed away in two places, in one
case the damage was quickly repaired,
but at the other place the trains both
eastward and westward bound, were de-
layed for some time until the damaged
road could be put in safe condition.
The calamity at Pittsburg was on a
most terrible scale. A most destructive
storm swept over the city on the night Of
the 26th. the rain poured through the
streets from the neighboring hills, swell
ing in volume till it became an irresist-
ible torrent before whose force nothing
could stand. Its course of destruction
extended over twenty miles and the loss
of life has been terrible. The water ran
to depth of ten and fifteen feet through
the streets, houses were swept bodily
away, or torn to pieces, the inmates all
perishing in the angry waters. The low
est calculation of loss of life places the
number of the drowned at $50, while
many are missing who have undoubtedly
met the same fate. Property to the val
ue of over million dollars was also de-
stroyed.

A MINISTERIAL REPRooF.-Rev. Mr..
Bakersfield is a Presbyterian divine of
Maryland. The reverend gentleman in
providing for the wants of the household,
furnished nothing for the Sabbath morn
ing breakfast but bread and butter, and
was consequently greatly surprised at
finding eggs upon the table. His wife. in
response to an inquiry, said she had bor-
rowed them from n neighbor, upon which
the minister told her "he would teach
her how to break the Sabbath" which
he proceeded to do by slapping her jaws,
and backing one Of the eyes which had
once gazed so fondly into the depths Of
his own. Mrs. b., thinking that punish
ment for violation of one of the ten
commandments should not be meted out
to her in this world as we'll as in the
world to come, made complaint, and the
Presbytery of Maryland will take the rev.
erend's case under consideration.

gentleman say, " start for London to-
morrow" He addressed this gentleman
and asked him if he would deliver let
ter to certain number in Terrace Gar
den, London. "With pleasure, " respond
ed the gentleman, "and, by the way,
there is another man here who gave me
a letter to deliver at the same place and
TO the same person. Are you reatves?"
a reunion was the consequence, and the
brothers, who had neither seen nor heard
