pistols, &C., it seems, and have
scattered theircirculars through

trade of the people. This is all
we'll enough; but when they
take the private letter of a
South Carolina gentleman, or
dering a pistol, and hand it to a
Radical newspaper for publica-
ton as an evidence that the
South Carolina Democracy are
determined to carry the State
by force of arms, it is not well
enough. Such a letter, ad-
dressed to z. Powell & Son,
Cincinnati, is now going the
rounds Of the Radical press.

A Bad Thing on Lawyers
From the Detroit Free Press.

a downcast looking woman,
about forty years old, called at
a lawyers Office on Griswold
street and asked the attorney if
he could attend to a little bust
ness for her. He replied that he
could, and she explained.
"My husband went to the
Black Hills over four months a.

"Yes, I sec. That is dcser-
ton, and good grounds for di-
vorce," he replied.
81 don't want no divorce, sir.
What l want is for him to send
me some money"
"And he wont?'
"Well, he hasn't sent any
yeti
"And what can I do" asked
the lawyer,
"Put lawsuit on him and
scare him into it," she answer
ed.
He gloomiIy replied that the
court here had no Jurisdiction in
such case. and that he could
do nothing.
"Why, if | was lawyer, l
could put a suit on him in an
hour i know l could - she
protested.
He shook bis head.
"WelI, all right" she said as
she rose to go, Il Thought that

few moments more. showed that
some new device must be at
tempted, or they would attack
us. We could distinctly hear
their short painting breath, and
the swift patter of their feet.
"Colonel, we must dodge!"
said Leighton, as he gave a
quick glance over his shoulder.
"They are right upon us!"
"All ready!" 1 exclaimed,
"Now to the right!'
And as | spoke, we made a
quick, short cure. The result
was more than we expected.
| Ine wolves, of course, could
! not stop, but went sliding by
us on their launches, one of
them so near as to snap at my
legs. But in turning too short
we upset Mcclure, who went
down IN spite of us, else we
should have gained fair start
of the wolves before they could
have stopped their momentum
so as to turn.

from our grasp, and went slid

rection Of the wolves.
AS the Irishmar rose to his
feet, the wolves turned and
rushed directly at him, only a
few rods separating them: while
my comradc and myself were
several rods farther away.
But we had no idea Of desert
ing the faithful fellow, though
the sequel proved that Jimmy
was master of the situation, and
the hero of the hour, after all.
AS the wolves spraGg forward
with open jaws, flcckcd with
foam, Mcclure unstrapped his
trusty ak from his back and
poised it for blow. The OPP
poTtunity was at hand. A long,
gaunt wolf rushed forward, and
made a spring directly at him.
With a swift circle of his AK,
he fairly split the brute's head
in twain. Another wolf quick
ly followed, and the invinciblc
ak crushed in his skull. The
next wolf wavcred, and seemed
inclined to back out; but JIM
lny's blood was up, and, with a
quick spring, he leyelcd a side
long blow that broke the brutc's
back, and, with fearful howls
and writings, it foundered on
the ice.
This was the end. The re-

We tarried long enough to

Jimmy, and reached camp in a
couple of hours without furth-
or incident. Bnt had it not
been for Jimmy aud his ak, the
adventure might have had a

An Expected Wedding that did

Memphis Avalanche.

About 200 people assembled
at the Alabama Street Presby-
terian Church last night to wit
ness the marriage of a young
gentleman connected with the
lumber business to a young la
dy of German extraction. The
audience was assembled and
the buzz Of gay voices filled
the edifice. Time. wore on.
Eight O'clock, the hour appoin-
ted for the ceremony, passed,
and still the bridal pair did not
arrive. A half hour more G.
lapscd and still there appeared
no bride cor bridegroom, and
suspicious remarks were ex-
changed. Finally, grown wea-
ry with waiting, the assembly
dispersed, filled : to the brim
with wonder at the non-appear-
ance of the couple. Some Of
the young mans friends looked
into the matter and found out
that at13 0 clock ia the after
noon the bride had received a
note from her affianced laconic-
ally stating that by the time
she received the note he would
be dead. Search throughout the
city was at once instituted, but
the missing gentleman could
not be found. His friends were
around making inquiries until a
very late hour. Some one re-
ported having seen him at s
P. NJ, but This led to no clew Of
his whereabouts. Up to twelve
O'clock last night no news had
been received concerning him.

Catarrh, I'm its extent and destructive force,
stands next to consumption, and is closely al
lied to 1t; for in certain constitutions the
transition from one TO the other Is only a
question of time. II is therefore a singular
thing that those afflicted with il should not
make il the object of their lives to rid them
selves of it. A single bottle of any remedy can
not, in the chronic stage, effect a cure, nor
even bring the system under its influence full
ly. In many such cases the bones and cartil-
age of the nose are eaten away, the organs OF
hearing, of seeing and of tasting so affected as
TO be rendered useless, the uvula so elongated
and infiamed as to produce constant and dis
tressing cough. The return to health must
necessarily be slow, under the most favorable
circumstances, when so seriously afflicted; but
as the evidence of its great value daily comes
TO hand, we become more and more satisfied
that there does not exist a case of cGtarrh that
can not be cured by a judiciOus and persistent
use of Sanfords Radical Cure for Catarrh. The
relief In every case obtained from the first dose
is an indication of what il will do when the
system is brought consIitutionally under its
influence.

But 1, am as lone, alas!
As yon white moon when white clouds pass
As lonely and unloyed, alasl
AS clouds that weep and drop and pass.

Sing sweet through all thy summer morn,
For love is landing at thy feet,

AS winter winds of winter morn.
The ships, black bellied, climb the sea,
The seamen seek their loves on land,
And love and lover, hand In hand,

But never more shall love seek me,

BY broken wild or willow tree,
Nay nevermore shall love seek me.
