The only safe and always reliable remedy for the
immediate relief and permanent cure ofeyery sym
ptom and stage Of CatsrIh II is medicine pure
as distilled water aud is obtained entirely by dis
tillation of certain herbs and plants whereby the
essential medicinal principle is alone obtained,
while every particle of woody fibre is rejected.

assured on the honor of the general agents that
this medicine has and will accomplish all that is

The Black Hills Miner.

Where can the miner of olden times
have gone? see no Starbottles nor
John Oakhursts here. The miner OF to-
day is bitter disappointment TO Bret
Harte's readers. Common matter-of-
fact fellows; grievo to say that even
buckskin shirts, long hair and bowie
knives are falling into disuse. One sees
no eight-foot neck-chains nesting
against coarse wOOllen shirts, no three
ounce nugget breast-pins, no betting of
oyster-cans of gold on the sex Of horse
three blocks of. IL is true the miner of
to-day loves whisky and cards and wom-
en-; but, as compared with the forty.
miner Of California, or the fifty-niner OF
Colorado, he is a hollow mockery and a
fraud. lie is close and calculating, re-
fuses to be swindled, and, as a rule, ex-
poets his moneys worth when out for a
lark.-Black HIS Later.

Improved yentiIating Arrangement

The plan has recently been intro
duced, OF securing ventilation by plac-
ing a strip of board three inches wide,
and as long as the lower window-bar,
under the lower sash, thus leaving an
opening between the top OF the lower
sas b and the bottom Of the upper sash,
through which fresh air may enter.
4 modification VI this method has,
however, been proposed, briefly a. fol-
lows:
Take two pieces Of board a quarter
inch thick, one inch wide, and as long
as the lower bar of the window; three
narrow pieces half an inch thick and
one and half long, one end being cut
with the bevel of the window-stOOl.
Nail these pieces across one of the long
Stats, one AT each end and one in the
middle, placing the short side OF each
piece even with the lower edge OF the
Stat: nail the other on the opposite
side of these short pieces, bringing the
upper edge Of the Stat even with the
square end of the short pieces. This
will make compound bar with half
an inch higher than the other when the
whole is turned upon its edge. Now,
place the whole under the lower
window sash, with the higher Stat on
the outside. The air Can then pass
under the outer Stat, between the two
Stats, and enter the room over the top
Of the inside slat, having an upward
motion, which will cause it to mingle
rapidly with the warm air of the room
and thus prevent any sensible draught.
By thus raising a lower sash, space is
left between the top Of the lower sash
and the bottom of the upper one,
through which another thin layer OF
air may enter the room at some dis
lance from the layer at the bottom OF
the window. The air must also entei
with an upward current, causing IT "a
speedily mix with the hot air in the
upper portion of the room. This ar
rangement, il properly constructed anC
put in position, will prevent any ant
all sensible currents in the body of
room, except when strong winds pre-
vail.

A Bombshell Exploded In Parlor.

The Davenport Qowa) Gazette, OF
the 18th inst, gives long account OF
the attempted assassination OF wen
known citizen by the explosion OF
bombshell in his house after he had re-
tired for the night. The outrage Gre
ated great excitement, but, fortunately,
no one was seriously injured.
The intended victim was William III.
Price. son of the hon. Hiram Price,
both of Davenport. They lived in
large double brick house. The north
window of the back parlor is of wide
bav form, four sashes in width, two
sashes high, each sash having single
pane OF plate glass. In the parlor the
previous evening, Mr.. and Mrs. Price,
and Miss Louisa DuBoss, young lady
from New Orleans, who is visiting Mrs.
Price, sat conversing until after eleven
O'Clock. The curtains of the bay-win-
dow we're raised all this time, and any
person could have had full view Of the
parlor and its occupants from the house
yard, or the enclosure of the First Meth
odist Church adjoining on the north. II
/ the villain who perpetrated the CRIME
mentioned below intended TO harm the
family his best opportunity was when
they were thus seated about
their hearth enjoying social
converse. II Mr.. William Price
was the object of the deed better
chance to slay him occarred when, af-
ter the ladies had gone up stairs, he
stepped TO the bay window, with the
room all lighted behind him, and latch
ed each of the window fastenings. SO
at that time, ten minutes past eleven
O'Clock, nobody was lurking about the
house with William Price as an object
of vengeance. During the evening,
however, the servant Girl told Mrs.
Price she did not like the actions of a
man she saw standing at the rear of
the church and engaged in watching
their house. Mrs. Price said II was
prayer-meeting night, and the girl re-
sponded that a man who looked and
acted as that man did didn't 90 TO
prayer-meetings. But Mrs. Price
thought no more Of the conversation
until the terrible occurrence, hours at
ter, recalled il. The room directly
over the rear parlor had been occupied
by Hon. Hiram Price and wife since
September, when they vacated their
former residence for its new owner.
Now, fortunately, they We're in ST
Louis, though whether the villains " he
attempted the destruction Of the house
hold knew il or not is question which
excites the people of this city.
After the family had retired star
Ting crash was heard in the room be
low. Mr.. Price arose and started dowr
stairs, when terrible explosion FOL
lowed. The neighbors rushed out Of
= their houses, and the cry Of fire wa
heard. The front room burst int
flames, but they were soon eNtinguish
