The InYaIid-A Pen Picture.

See her pallid countenance, but short time ago the picture of ruddy health. the envy of the school and the pride of the household. She was always welcomed by her schoolmates, for her 1.-the form and pleasing disposition carried cheerfulness into their ranks Diligent, punc- tual and exemplary, obedlent and graceful at home, she won the hearts of all. But, alas, we are sorrowed. Those rosy cheeks and ruddy lips are blanched by Consumption. The voice once so enchanting in laugh and song is feeble, husky and supplanted by 8 hollow cough. Let us approach her couch gently and take her hand. Do not shudder because of the feeble and passionless grasp. The hand once so hearty and plump is emaclated and shows bony outlines, while the cords and tortuous veins are plainly mapped upon the surface. The pulse that bounded with repletion, carrying vigor to the whole system, and imparting life, beauty, vivacity, health and strength. is delicate to the toueh The feeble heart cannot propel the thin, scanty blood with force. Must we lose her while yet in her teens Companions and friends gather around with words of cheer and consolation, and depart with moistened eyes and silent steps, Must we lose her? No !! there is relief We can stay this destroyer of our happiness and not suffer the loss of so bright gem. Something more is required now than dietary and hygienic observance, for nature calls for aid and she shall have it. Take this pleasant medicine. It is invigorating. How it allays the irritable cough, improves the appetite and digestion, and sends healthy jingle through the frame. The blood is enriched, nervous force increased, and the heart bounds with new impulse. See her face brighten by degrees the color is returning, her voice is getting clearer, and pleasant words are spoken. The strength falters yet, but is gaining. Let us take her out in the warm sunshine. In a short time she will be able to go without our aid, cheerful girl. This delightful medicine must be God-blessed. It is restoring health to our loved one. She is emerging from her sickness sweeter and nobler than before, and Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery must have the credit. It has raised her.
 s. R. EaLAR druggist, of West Union, O., says that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has effected wonderful cure of Consumption in his neighborhood.

Fatal Result of & Joke.

At salamis City, Gal, recently, a harmless joke resulted in Q tragedy. Some of the boarders at the Diamond Hotel, on April Fools Day, sent Mrs.
 Dennison to the room of a MT. Downey with a letter, in which was written "April fool" Dennison, seeing his wife coming from the room, was taken with fit of jealousy, reproached her with bitter words, and she retorted in like manner. A separation was agreed upon, and proceedings for a divorce were instituted. Several days after the above occurrence Dennison met Downey in a saloon, and called him out to speak to him. High words passed between them, and finally Downey knocked Dennison down. Dennisen then drew 9 pistol and fired, the ball striking Downey in the left side, and coming in contact with rib, glanced and came out near the spine. Downey wrested the pistol from him, when Dennison turned and ran up the street, Downey closely pursuing him. After running a short distance Dennison fell, and at the game instant his pursuer fired a shot,
 in6icting mortal wound. Downey was arrested, and an examination will be held as soon as he can be brought into court, if his injuries do not prove fatal.

MObbing the Crusaders.

A serious disturbance occurred on Freeman street, Cincinnati, where band of women were praying in front of the saloons. A beer wagon driver named Herzog forced his way through the crowd of women, and was beaten by the bystanders. He was then ar rested by the police and was fined. This seemed to irritate the crowd greatly. About 500 men gathered around the praying band. There were but nineteen women in the band. The crowd pressed upon the women and used insulting language. Only one policeman was on the ground, and re- quested the women to return to church, as he would be unable to protect them. The women said God would protect them, and expressed their determina- tion to go on. The crowd at this time used no violence, but were noisy. When tue women sang or prayed, the crowd struck up 8 chorus, drowning their voices. Soon after this the crowd pressed upon the women, and began swaying in mass. One aged woman was thrown headlong into the street, but fortunately was not injured. Fighting began in the crowd, and the reporter of a newspaper was struck several times, and finally driven away. The women, finding no other way possible, escaped from the crowd one by one, and return ed to the church from which they came. No arrests were made, but warrants were sworn out for the arrest of the ringleaders, and the Mayor issued orders to the captains of the police to prevent women from Dravino on the streets hereafter. The disturbance was more threatening than mischiev- ous, no enc having been injured.

IT WAS AN ANCIENT CUSTOM of the Spartans, in order to inculcats among their youth an abhorrence of intemper- ance and it's kindred vices, to make their slaves drunk with wine in the pub lie market-places, so that the rising generation, upon whom would some day devolve the honor and safety of the Lacedemomian Republic, might see be- fore them all the ghastly details of the drunkard's disgrace, his loss of reason, and of physical strength. 'Twere we'll, perhaps, to-day, could some of our young men contemplate a similar in- structive lesson drawn. from the life, showing them, by sharply drawn con- trast, the advantages and true loveli- ness of abstinence and virtue.

The Transportation Question.

The Committee on Transportation of the American Agricultural Congress re- ported resolution declaring that while recognizing the value of railroads, and the necessity for their further exten- sion, we deem tbe cost of transporting crude products of the field, forest, and mine so disproportionate to the cost of water carriage as to render it the inn perative duty of the United States to improve the rivers in the interior and connect them with the ocean by artif- cial ways, giving the Mississippi valley continuous water transit to the sea- board. Adopted unanimously.
 A resolution that the Agricultural Congress believes it is within the power of the people to reform the corporate transportation system by the same agencies which created them, viz. State legislation, controlled by public opinion; and that we oppose any legis- lation under the plea of regulating commerce between States which inter feres with the authority heretofore ex- ercised by the State over railroads en- tirely within or passing out of its bor- ders, was adopted unanimously.

Bleached Frogs.

Did you ever see white mud turtle, white frogs, white tadpoles, and other unusual amphibious animals bleached out to Anglo-Saxon complexion asks a Des Moines paper. If not, you can see this curiosity by taking walk to the paper-mill. The water in which the straw is boiled runs off into pond connected with Coon river. All the animals boarding in this pond have had their color changed to perfect white. They look as if they had been white washed. This chemical change proba- bly, results from the properties in the water, although that is of yellowish cast, and lighter than the straw boiled in it.

'EHB ELASTIC TRUSS CO.

Was incorporated in 1868. Its friends and patrons are from every land and speak every tongue. It has outlived all rivalry It has conquered the pre- judice that was justly caused by all the metal trusses. It has grown stronger and frmer as the years have marched apace, and like giant, it's potent reason that has produced this wonder erful result. That reason is the simple fact that the Elastic Truss ia worn nght and day, with comfort, retaining rupture in perfect ease causing no in convenience, ,can be placed by the hardest exercise; yielding and adapting itself to every motion cf the body, but always holding the rup- ture safely, and soon effects aperfect and perma- nent cure. This new and wond erful invention has produced radical revolution in treating pture, and has absolutely driven out Of use all the wretched metal finger pad and spring trusses that formerly cursed the community and made lifa burden to so many thousands Hpon thousands of suffering ones, who now are happily enjoying once more the blessings and comforts of existence.
 The United States Government and Surgeon General at Washington have arranged with the Elastic Truss Co. to supply their new Truss to such Pensioners Soldiers, &c, as are entitled to to any one of the U s. Pension Surgeons through out the country. Full descriptive circulars with ions, &C., sent free request, and the Truss is sold cheap and sent by mail to all parts of the PANY, 6S3 Broadway, New York.
