IL Runs Like a Prairie Fire [!

DIR. Walkers Vinegar Bitters runs like
a prairie fire. The fame of the temper
ance tonic is, however, but poorly exem-
plified by this figure of speech for a
prairie fire runs only in one direction,
whereas the reputation of the Bitters
spreads toward all points of the compass.
There is not square mile of inhabited
territory i'll the United States where this
meritorious preparation is not appreci-
ated. If any theoretical gentleman
thinks he is prepared to show that there
is "nothing in it., we advise him to go
to the Prairie States, in the Mississippi
Valley, to the deltas of the Southern riv-
ers, to New England, in fact, anywhere
within the limits of "Uncle Sans real
estate" and ventilatc his views. BY so
doing he can raise heartier and more
general laugh than has ever yet shaken
the sides of an intelligent people. Per-
sons who have been cured can't help
laughing Mt other people, who tell them
that the medicine which saved their lives
is failure. Com.

Treating the Wrong Disease.

Many times women call upon their family
physlciails one with dyspepsia, another with
paptation, another with trouble of the breast
another with pain here and there, and in this
way they all present, alike to themselves and
their easy-going and indifferent DOCTORS 'separ-
ate and distinct diseases, for which he preecribes
his pills and potions, assuming them to be
such, when, i'll reality, they are all symptoms
caused by solno uterine disorder and while they
are thus only able perhaps to palliate for
time, they are ignorant OF the cause. and en-
courage their practice until large bills are made
when the suffering patients are no better in the
end, but probably worse for the delay treat
ment, and other complications made. and which
proper medicine directed to the cause would
have entirely removed, thereby instituting
health and comfort instead of prolonged
misery.

A City Picture.

In coWfortless tenement houses of
New York city many scenes of pitiful
sorrow are every day enacted, Often
they are never known outside the misera-
bic room i'll which they occur but tsome-
tunes there is by chance witness. A
short time ago n visitor of St. Johns
Guild discovered in tenement in Six
teenth street two aged women-one
seventy-one and the other eighty-nine
years old. They were sisters, and held
III their arms two grandchildren of one
of them, both of whom were sick with
fever, and the mother was dead. A son
and son-in-law were both out searching
for work. There was not even crust of
bread IN the place-nothing but dish
half full of water, from which the chill
dren eagerly drank. The visitor asked
If they had any one whom they could
send to the Guild Office for food, and
the younger of the women said her son
would gladly go when he returned home.
The elder woman asked if the visitor
would be kind enough to send bone to
make some soup.
g. L dreamed of soup last night" she
said.
While the visitor was making arrange
ments for relief there wasan authoritative
knock at the door. A police officer en-
tered, inquiring:
Are you Mrs. -
Yes" said the old woman.
Your son." said the officer, "was
found drowned in the East river to-day
at noon."
The shock produced by this sudden
announcement may be better imagined
than described. The starving women
thought no more of food, but sobbed in
each others arms. When at length the
policeman asked what should be done
with the body, the answer came, "We
must let you take our boy ITO the Morgue. "
There was not even clean shirt in the
house in whichIto dress the corpse.
Every article had been pawned for food.

gin streets, and there met a brace OF young men,
the elite OF our great East side rowdies. He was
happy In their company and they had many drinks
Ior which Philip paid. HIS new found boon com
paniOns became attached to him and stuck
to him all the dreary afternoon like ptchplaster
TO pine plank. But all this did not keep our New
Jersey friend from feeling drOwsy, and he fell
asleep. When he awOke mis- friends were gone.
SO were his watch and chain and diamond ring,
together with mis- wallet and $35. He sought Tor q
police officer and found one, to whom he related
the foregoing circumstances. The result was the
arrest of Charles Presley and George Lewis, whom
Lynch identified as the persons he was drinking
with, and who he believes robbed him. They

called. He was indicted for MURDER in
the first degree Tor killing Isaac Hen
derson, colored man. Purvs, 1t Is
conceded, had great provocation, though nothing
to justify shooting; but he did not Kill his victim
until three days afterwards. Had he been tried he
doubtless would have been brought in guilty OF
murder In the FIRST degree. Mr. William f. Howe,
his counsel, iuterposed plea Of guilty or murder
IN the second degree, which District Attorney
Phelps said, III view OF the previous character Of
the prisoner and the peculiar circumstances OF the
case. he would accept.
Mr.. Howe said the penalty attaching to the plea
he had made was by statute Imprisonment in State

mitigation in punishment, and there only re-
manned Tor him an appeal 70 the Executive

COURT Of GENERAL SESSIONS.

Grand Larcenies.
Before Recorder HacKett.
Yesterday, In this court, Herman Wistner,
against whom were tour charges, pleaded guilty
to one indictment charging him with stealing on
the 10th inst, $67 worth OF champagne and car
rage blankets valued at $50, the property OF
George Holman. He was sent to the state Prison
for four years and six months.
George W. Ewing, who on the 18th inst. stole
two tubs OF butter, worth $40, the property OF
Margaret Ludmage, pleaded guilty to an attempt
at grand larceny. The sentence passed by the
Court was two years and six months IN the state
Prison.
william Cunningham was tried and convicted Of
an assault and battery upon James Aud, on the
3Oth OF November, in Forty-secOnd street. He was
sent to the Penitentlary Tor one year.
Acquittals.
William Costello was tried upon a charge OF as
saulting Andrew Buist, on the 2Sth of January, IN
a liquor saloon. As the evidence was conflicting
the Jury gave him the benefit OF the doubt by rem
dering verdict OF not guilty.
Charles Caple, charged with stealing gold
watch from John Fl L0rrigan on the 22d Of July,
was tried for the alleged offence. The parties were
on barge at the time OF the losing or the watch
returning from an excursion OF the Eureka So
clety, when the complainant alleged that he was
thrown down by the prisoner, who stole his watch.
A number OF witnesses were examined on both
sides, and the testimony very conflicting. One
witness for the defence SwOre that he heard
young man say to another on the boat, rs 1T
white or yellow One?" meaning whether the
watch stolen by the thief was silver or gold. 1t
was shown that the accused was very much intOxi-
Gated, and could not have committed the THEFT;
that the complainant mstOOk Caple for another
party. His employers and other citizens gave him
very good reputation for honesty, which resulted
in the rendition OF verdict OF not guilty.
