Itmay not be very original to say things ia
this world are very uncertain" but 1t Is very
true; and nothing is more true than that the most
unsartn things of all are those which young
man and young lady, "spooney, more'n you can
tell" will do sometimes. 1t appears that our
friend Frank Mccain was very deeply in the tolls
OF Miss Mccormick, very nice young lady OF
Ottawa, who had very tender feeling for Frank.
Very naturally they concluded the best thing to
he lone under the circumstances was to getmar-
RED This, however, was not, as we infer from
subsequent proceedings, as agreeable to the
mother of the blushing damsel as to the couple
themselves; SO it became necessary to use lit
lie strategy. Frank procured the necessary pa
pers; they were married quietly and started on
their wedding tour, taking in, as their first stop
ping place, the remarkably dull town OF La Sale,
which ought to be thankful that the scene this
faithful history was laid in its midst-people will
recollect that there is such town. The old la
dy, however, by this time, discovered that all
was not well, and when she learned that Frank
and the lady bird had flown, she called in our
friend Jerry Rordan, ald told him how Frank
had eloped with her daughter and gone to La
Sale. So Jerry telegraphed to that burg and,
learning that the game was there at the Hotel
de Harrison, with Mrs. Mccormick started after
them, on night train, after telegraphing to
Keys to hold Frank, who was clipping with the
lady. Frank and his lady. however, were in bliss
full ignorance Of the storm about to burst upon
them when they went to their room. As soon
as Riordan and Mrs. Mccormick reached La Sale
they proceeded to the hotel and to the room Of
Frank Mccain and wife, where Jerry used some
force, and some strong and not very repeatabe
words, and finally gained entrance tc the room,
when he struck at Frank and ordered the lady
to get ready and come home again, which she
did not do. Then the old lady put in an appear
ance and the conflict thckened. 1t must have
been interesting, the La Sale Press says it ,cds
good show; but Keys took charge of Riordan
and Colonel Somebody took the old lady in tow,
to save damages to furniture ct ceterd. Frank
then went down in his vest pocket and hauled
out marriage certificate and told them they
were a little too slow coach and they had better
20 home without them. This disclosure fell like
pan OF dish water on the rampant mamma and
Riordan, and the order was given for a retreat,
which they made in handsome style, and all
became quiet on the Potomac.

FOR THE CURE OF

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAN in the right side, under the
i edge OF the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
OH the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the blade, and
1t frequently extends to the top of
the shoulder, and is sometimes mis-
taken for a rheumatism in the arm.
The stomach Is affected with loss of
appetite and sickness; the bowels in
general are COStive, sometimes alter
native with lax; the head is troubled
with pain, accompanied with a dull,
heavy sensation in the back part.
There is generally considerable loss
ofmemory, accompanied with pain
full sensation of having left undone
something which ought to have been
done. a slight, dry cough is some
times an attendant. The patient
complains WEAKNESS and debility;
he is easily startled, his feet are cold
or burning, ard he complains of a
prickly sensation of the skin; his
spirits are low; and although he is
satisfied that exercise would be bene-
fetal TO him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitudc enough to try
it. In fact, he distrusts every rem
edy. Several OF the above symp-
toms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the BODY,

BEST BREED OF cows.

There is nothing of more inter
est to farmers and all persons
keeping but one or more cows,
than reliable information on the
best breeds, and that can best be
given by quoting from time to
time the opinions of some
of our best dairymen. A gentle
man who has been a dairyman for
fifty years is reported as having
said before the New York Far
mer's Cub as follows: "He pre-
fers the cow that gives the most
milk. If a cow will give twenty
five quarts of milk per day, she
would be more profitable than an
other which only gave eighteen
quarts. Then, If you send your
milk to the factory to be made in
to cheese, or sent it to the market,
the more milk the more profit. If
q man keeps but one or two cows
it will be no criterion. Compare
them with a herd of twenty-five
or forty COWS and they will fall
short considerably. Heprefers the
Holstein to any other breed of
cattle he ever owned. He says
they are noted for their milking
qualities. Running with herd of
twenty-five cows the pure blood
and grades are the best. The
HoIstein are very handsome. Jet
black forward and rear, bright
white blanket around the body,
are very docile, small head, eyes
clear, large, mild and sparkling,
horns short; neck small at the
head, straight on the back, heavy
quarters, short legs, udder large
and square, teats stand well apart,
hair soft and fine. They are
Dutch cattle, and will match any
breed in the world"
