ENOCH ARDEN REVERSED.

A Mrs. Newell, with her little girl, passed
along the Kansas Pacific few days ago, who
had very dreary story to tell. She said she
belonged to New York, and about a year ago
had left that city to join her husband, who
had taken Horace Greeley's advice and gone
west, but where she knew not. She hardly
knew, indeed, whether he was in the land of
the living, and had u long search before she
found him, and then it was II case of Enoch
Arden reversed. Her truant husband was
finally found in Coribou, Colorado, living with
another woman as his wife. But this was not
all. When she went to prove her prior right
to her truant husband he then disclaimed all
knowledge of her, and declared that his then
wife was the only wife he ever had.
He further had the impudence to give her
what he called advice, which was not to go
gadding about the country claiming strange
men as her husband, but to go back to her
home in New York. The unfortunate wife
made no attempt to answer him, but tried to
seek solace for her misery in death by poison.
She was, however, prevented from carrying
out her design, and when she made known
the story of her wrongs to the people of Cali
bou, as she had exhausted all her finances in
finding her husband, who disowned her, they
made up purse to carry her and her more
than fatherless daughter back from whence
they came. And, too, it was only to her ear
nest persuasion that her alleged lord owed his
life, as a good many Caribouians were anxious
to tie him to o tree.-DenpeT Ne,0s.

The memory Of my selfshpess and pride;

And SO l should be loved and mourned to n isht.

And soften in the old familiar way
For who could war with dumb unconscious clay

CURIOUS FREAK OF NATURE-A BOY BALDER THAN
Ills GRANDFATHER,

Ills GRANDFATHER.
In the upper part of this city there resides
boy, aged sixteen, who is great natural curiosity
lie is as baidheaded as man of eighty, having
little or no hair on his head except in one or two
spots about an inch in length, these spots being
right above the temples. On the back of his
head the hair grows very fast, but in order to
make it not look so bad he keeps it shaved close
to the scalp, and by SO doing gives it chance to
grow stronger. He has been bald for the last ten
months, and cannot in any way account for the
lack Of hair. The mother of the boy saws that
some time ago he had touch of the erysipeias.
which physician says might have caused it. The
boy says about year ago he had his hair cut by
barber, who put some oil on the head, and alter
that his hair began TO fall out until he became
bald. The father OF the boy, an old man, has a
thick head OF halr, which shows that badness
does not run in the family, The physician who
has been attending him for the past iix months
and doing all in his power TO restore the hair,
made thorough inspection OF the boys head
lately, but could find nothing to indicate the
cause Of his baldAess-N. Y. TELEGRAM.

1t Is quite generally the custom to take strong
liver stimulants for the cure of hver complaint
and both the mineral and vegetable Kingdoms
nave been dihgently searched to procure the
most drastic and poisonous purgatives, in order
10 produce powerful effect upon the liver and
arouse the tagging and enfeebled organ. This
system OF treatment is on the same principle as
that OF giving weak and debilitated man
large portions of brandy to enable him to do
certain amount of work. When the stimulapt
Is withheld, the organ like the system, gradual
ly relapses into more torpid or sluggish and
weakened condition than before. What then
is wanted? Medicines that, while tn ey cause

organ Is toned into action, will not overwork,
anu thus debilitate it, but will, when their use
Is discontinued leave the liver strengthened.
