Treating the Wrong Disease.

Many times Women call upon their
family physicians, one with dyspepsia, another
with paipitatiOn, 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,
separate and distinct diseases, for which he
prescribes his pills and potions. assuming
them to be such when. in reality, they are all
symptoms caused by some uterine disorder:
and while they are thus only able perhaps to
palliate for time, they are ignorant of the
cause and encourage their practice until
large bills are made when the suffering
patients are no better III the end, but probably
worse for the delay, treatment, and other
cine directed to the cause would have entirely
removed, thereby mstituting health and COM
fort instead Of prolonged misery.

commenced circling around the car
riage occupied by the bride, and, when
they had made the required number of
circuits, the blinds of the carriage were
rolled up and there sat the blushing Hop
Joy, vainly attempting to hide her moon
eyed features behind fan of enormous size.
She was assisted to alight, and the Johns,
with mirth lurking in the corner of their
eyes, each attempted to drink in the beauty
of the countenance by gently pushing
aside the fan behind which it was con-
cealed. The operation seemed to highly
amuse those who stood by, and they
laughed right heartily at the blushing diff
fidence of the bride, strongly suspecting
that the color upon her cheeks was that of
carmine, and not that delicate tint which
mantles the countenance of a blushing
Saxon girl. At last the lady was led on
board the boat by an old woman, who
seemed to be acting the part of duenna,
and when once seated in the cabin her
head and shoulders were rolled in red
bandanna by the old bag, who took seat

His wife raised up her plate, too, and

THE Winnemucca (Cal.) SSJoer State
records the following stroke of financial
ability on the part of young hoodlum of
that place: Son Thursday evening, just
man who desired to follow the advice of
Horace Greeley by going West remarked
on the street in the hearing of young
hoodlum who had just arrived from some
point up the road that he would give
$40 for an emigrant ticket, but that he
didn't think he could buy one at that
price. The hoodlum, who was stranger
to the person who wanted the ticket, vol
unteered to get him one in five minutes
for that money, and his proposition was
accepted. The hoodlum instantly disap-
peared in a crowd of emigrants, and, with
the importance of man who had corn to
sell and owned as many acres as honest
John Bidwell, asked if any of them want
ed work at $50 month and board. An
honest young German said he wanted work
and agreed to accept the wages offered.
AS the hoodlum anticipated, the emigrant
wanted to sell his ticket, and he told him
he would find purchaser for it at So, and
by adroit management pocketed So on the
transaction without awakening the sus-
picion of the unsophistcated pilgrim, after
which he disappeared and was seen no
more. The emigrant was around yester-
day looking for the person who had hired
him, but, of course, he was not to be
fOundn

A Chinese Wedding in Oregon.

The Portland (Oregon) Bulletin has the
following account of a recent wedding
among the Chinese in that city:
For few days past the Chinese quar-
tiers of Oak street, opposite the city jail,
have been the scene of the most riotous
festivities, consequent upon the marriage
of Mr.. Gun Lock, of the firm of Tong
Duck Chung & Co., in this city, with Miss
Hop JOY, damsel of some sixteen sum-
mers. The contract was made by outside
parties, and the parties to the contract
never saw the light of each others coun-
tenances until the nuptial knot was tied.
Tables laden with all the Chinese deli
cacies were set for the friends of the
couple, and at every turn they were greet
ed by the dulcet tones of the Chinese fid-
die and the tom-tom. The festivities, hap
PLY for those residing in the neighbor-
hood, came to an end yesterday morning,
when the married couple prepared to take
wedding tour. The blushing bride was
placed in carriage, thee blinds of which
had been closed, and her liege lord and
his nearest and best friends took seats in
carriages behind that occupied by the
bride, and in this order they proceeded to
the Oregon Steam Navigation Com
pany's wharf, intending to take pas
sage for Puget sound Arriving at
the wharf the Johns alighted and

WHICH SHALL 1T BE?

THE following beautiful poem may be familiar
to many of our readers, but it will bear to b,
read again and again.:
(which shall it be? Which shall it be?'
looked at John-John looked at me
dear. patient John, who loves me yet,
AS we'll as though my locks were jet;
And when I found that l must speak,
My voice seemed strangely low and weaE
TELL me again what Robert saidi"
And then /, listening, bent my head.
oThis is his letter: will give
A house and land while you shall live,
IT. i'm return from out your seven,
One child to me for aye is given"
I looked at Johns old garments worn;
thought of all that John had borne
Of poverty, and work, and care,
Which I, though willing, could not share;
thought of seven mouths to feed,
Of seven little children's need,
And then of this" Come, john" said /,
/" Well choose among them as they lie
Asleep SO, walking hand in hand,
Dear John and ] surveyed our band
First to the cradle lightly stepped,
Where Lillian, the baby, slept,
A glory 'gainst the pillow white,
Softly the father stopped to lay
His rough hand down in loving way,
When dream or whisper made her stir,
And huskily he said: q Not her, not her."
We stopped beside the trundle-bed,
And one long ray of lamplight shed
~Athwart the boyish faces there,
In sleep so pitiful and fair;
| saw on Jamie's rough, red cheek
A tear undried Ere John could speak,
"He's but baby, too,n said /,
And kissed him as we hurried by.
Pale, patient Robbie's angel face
Still in his sleep bore suffering's trace.
"No, for thousand crowns not him."
He whispered, while our eyes were dim.
Poor Dick, bad Dick, our hayward son,
Turbulent, reckless, idle one
Could he be spared? "Nay, He who gave
Bid us befriend him to his grave;
Only mothers heart can be
Patient enough for such as he;
And So" said John, would not dare
To send him from her bedside prayer"
Then stole we softly up above
And knelt by Mary, child OF love.
'sPerhaps for her 'twould better be-"
said to John. Quite silently
He lifted up a curl that lay
Across her cheek in willful way,
And shook his head. Nay, love, not thee"
The while my heart beat audibly.
Only one more, our eldest lad,
Trusty and truthful, good and glad
l cannot, will not, let him 60"
And so we wrote, in courteous way,
We could not drive one child away;
And afterward toll lighter seemed,
Thinking of that of which we dreamed,
Happy in truth that not ore face
Was missed from its accustomed place;
Thankful to work fog all the seven,
Trusting the rest to One in heaven!

The Greenback Platform.
The following is heplatform adopted by
the recent National Greenback Mass Con-
ventiOn, in session at Detroit:

The following is theplatform adopted by
the recent National Greenback Mass Con-
vention, in session at Detroit:
ReSOt0ed /. That the people owe to the Govern
ment at all times and In all emergencies loan of
money adequate to Its needs, at rate of interest
SO low as to be the least possible burden, and to
offer the least possible compensation to private
enterprise.
2 The Government owes to the people an abso-
lutely safe and uniform currency adapted to their
varying needs, in amount and of value not mate
rally different from that of other civilized nations
g. That the providing of currency for the peo-
pie Is an attribute of sovereignty and we demand
that the Government of the United States shall per-
form this duty in such manner as to furnish the
public an amount of currency adequate to the bust
ness requirements of the country and Independent
of the action of banks other private corpora
tons
d. That we are neither repudiationists nor infia-
uOnlsts, but the friends of safe, sound and reli
able currency; that we propose to redeem the
greenback circulation of the United States at the
pleasure of the holders thereof, in bonds of the
United States bearing low rate of interest con-
vertible at the pleasure of the holders into green
backs, thus redeeming the original promise of the
Government when it first issued greenbacks, to
fund them when desired into interest-paying
bonds.
5. That we are in favor of the issue of United
States certificates or bonds bearing interest not to
exceed 3.65 per cent. per annum, to an amount
equal to the whole Government debt said bonds
or certificates being changeable and interchangea-
bic with greenbacks at par on demand.
0. Ihat tne Iegal money OF the country snouid
be endowed with the power to pay all debts, public
and private, except that portion of the bonded in
debtedness specifically made payable in coin.
z. That as the enactment of the last Congress
providing for resumption Of specie payments In
1879 is impracticable and impossible of execution,
and disastrous in it's effects upon the business of
the country, we demand its immediate and uncon-
ditional repeal.
s. That the plan of Government currency pro-
posed by this convention would, in opinion,
tend to render our Government and people indie
financially foreign Influences
plications and not subject hereafter, heretofore
to the disturbing control or influence of foreign
countries.
9. That we recommend the organization of
Greenback Clubs in every State of the Union for
the purpose of carrying out the principles and
measures set forth in the foregoing resolutions.

The Great Failure i'm San Francisco.

A San Francisco dispatch of Aug. 81
says: THE failure of the Bank of Cali
fornia, while Immediately caused by de-
positors' run, was directly the outcome of
a conflict between two classes of CalifOr-
MIA speculators-On of the Bank of Cali
fornia party, headed by Mr.. Ralston and
Mr.. Sharon, and the other headed by
Messrs. Flood, O'Brien and Hidenfeldt.
The latter party have established a. bank
in San Francisco called THE Bank of
Nevada with cash capital of $5000,000
gold and the right to increase to 500, 000,-
600, Incidental to this fight there have
been the mining properties known as the
Savage, the Caledonia, the California, the
Ophir and the Consolidated Virginia. The
three latter are known as the Big Bonan-
"a Nine and the Bank of California party
obtained control of them. In getting this
control. the stock of the California was
run up from 60 to 800, and was then
multiplied by five, which would
make the highest price 100. 1t
has since declined to SO. The Ophir
stock, while they were getting control,
advanced from so to 700, and was multi
piled by five, making 700, representing
140 in new stock. 1t has since declined
to 46. The Consolidated Virginia, dur
ing the process of getting control, ad-
vanced from sc to $50. 1t was yesterday
267. That the bank had been strained of
late and pinched has been evident to
bankers here, who have Stunned their
bills from the fact Hlat in the last sixty
days most of the bills offered in this mar
ket have been those of other Institutions
Endorsed by the Bank of California. The
inference has been that the Bank of Cali
fornia had hypothetical securities with
those who lent their bills, and that this
borrowed exchange was used to obtain
funds needed to carry on the large opera
tons of the bank. The borrowed bills
which have so appeared were those of the
Bank of British Columbia and the Bank
of British North America
