Sworn Statement
OF A
Boston Druggist.

Gentlemen,-I hereby certify that 1 have had
Catarrh for ten years. and for the last six years have
deaf. had buzzing in the head, pains across the
temple, dizzy spells weak and painful eyes, swollen
and liberated tonsils, hard and constant cough,
severe pain across the chest and every indication of
consumption. My head ached all the time. the
matter accumulated rapidly in my head and throat
that could not keep them free. Frequently at
night would spring out Of the bed, it seemed to
me- at the point OF suffocating. would then have
recourse to every means in my power to dslodge the
to sleep again. For period of six years my tonsils
were liberated and so much infamed that could
with difficulty swallow. l finally consulted an
eminent surgeon in regard to an operation them,
but at his request postponed it. The constant in
fammation and liberation in my throat caused by
the poisonous matter dropping down from my head
had SO irritated and infiamed nv lungs that /
coughed incessantly,-a deep, hard cough. Mean
while my system began to show the effects of this
every somptom of an early death by consumption.
When matters had reached this stage, or about six
months ago. began the use of SANFoRDs RADICAL
CURE FOR CATARRH. After using the first bottle.
l began to improve rapidly. The first dose seemed
to clear my head as l had not known it to be for
years. 1t seemed gradually to arrest the discharges
1t STONED ma coMgh in three days. By using it as
gargle soon reduced the Inflammation and swelling
Of my tonsils that they ceased to trouble
The soreness across my chest disappeared, the bur
zing noises in my head ceased my senses of hearing
and of seeing were completely restored. and every
symptom of disease that had reduced me to the
verge of the grave disappeared by the use of SAN
FORD'S RADICAL CURE FOR CATARRH.
have been thus explicit because, as druggist, 1
have seen great deal of suffering from Catarrh and
hope to convince many that this is great remedy.
am familiar with the treatment OF Catarrh as
practiced by the best physicians and have consulted
the most eminent about my case. have used every
kind OF remedy and apparatus that have appeared
during period of six years past, and have, while
following their use, taken great of my general
health, but obtained no relief or encouragement
from any of them.
Since curing myself with SANFoRD's RADICAL
CURE, have recommended it in over one hundred
a inU1 nf oil nnd hopa ;r,
numerous instances received wholesale orders from
parties to whom have sold one bottle. This is the
only patent medicine 1 have ever recommended,
never having believed in them BEFORE although con-
stantly engaged in their sale.
Very gratefully yours

Lessening the Ora Il ofTeams.

M.Fehrman has invented an ingenious appar-
atus, the account of which says: cit is meant
to diminish the fatigue of horses in drawing
vehicles, as also the chances of rupture of the
shaft or traces. 1t consists of lot of rubber
rings, separated from each other by iron rund.
les; the whole is contained in cylindrical me-
talic case, and metallic rod, fixed to the last
rundle and traversiDg the case, is a means of
COMPRISING the caoutchouc rings. The length
of the system is about foot Two are re-
quired to each horse. They are interposed be.
tween the traces and the trace hooks, thus
forming an elastic pad between the horse and
the weight to be drawn. In beginning to pull,
horses do not make a gradually increasing
effort, but generally precipitate. themselves on
their traces with sudden shock, wasting their
strength and probably doing injury. Fehr::
mann's apparatus remedies this by the gradual
compression of the caoutchouc rings. The in
itial effort required of the horse is less and
then it progressively incieases." This simple
and inexpensive continuance is said to lessen
the effort from IS to 40 per cent according to
the various circumstances. The New +. +.
Holbrook common sense plows have similar
arrangement. A draft rod has its bearing upon
hard rubber ring, which greatly modiies the
shook OF contact with a stone or other obstruc.

POETRY.
Two New SOnnets by ROssetti.

Mr.. Dante Gabriel Rossetti has just painted
two important pictures, the motives of which
are found in these two sonnets which he has
lately written.
ASTARTE SYRICA.
Mystery: 10! betwixt the sun and moon
, Astarte of the Syrians: Venus Queen
Ere Aphrodite was. In silver sheen
Her twofold girde clasps the infinite boon
Of bliss whereof the Heaven and Earth commune;
And from her neek's inclining hower-stem lean
Love-freighted lips and absolute eyes that wean
The pulse of hearts to the spheres dominant tune.
Torch bearing, her sweet ministers compel
All thrones of light, beyond the sky and sea,
The witnesses of Beautys face to be:
That face of Loves al-penetrative spell,
Amulet, talisman, and oracle
Betwixt the Sun and Moon mystery.
AsEA SPELL.
Her lutte hangs Swallowed in the apple tree,
While flashing fingers weave the sweet-strungs spell
Between Its chords; and as the wild notes swell,
The sea-bird for those branches leaves the sea.
But to what sound her listening Stops she?
What neither world gulf-whispers doth she hear,
In answering echoes from what planisphere,
Along the wind, along the estuary?
She sinks into her spell and when full soon
Her lips move and she scars into her song,
What creatures of the midmost main shall throng
In furrowing surt-clouds to The summoning rune:
Till he, the fated mariner, hears her cry,
And up her rock, bare-breasted, comes to die?

ANCIENT COLORADO.

There has been recently discovered in
tn fertile valley OF the Animas, in South
western Colorado, the ancient ruins of
eating the presence centuries ago OF au
highly cultured and enlightened race
of people. The ruins OF the houses,
corrals, towns, Notifications. bitches,
pottery ware, drawings, non-interpreable
writings, etc. show that many arts were
cultivated by these prehistoric peo-
pie, which are now entirely lost.
Their houses are built of most every
kind of stone, from small boulders to the
finest sandstones. This valley has been
covered with buildings of every size, the
two largest being 800 by 6,000 feet, and
ubous 800 test apart. They are built Of
small blocks of sandstone, laid in adobe
mud. the outside wall being four feet,
ami the inside wall from foot and a
half 10 three feet thick. In the lower
story are found Portfolios foot square
No signs of a door are visible in the
outer walls, and the ingress must have
been trOm the top, in the inside there
being passages from room to room. Most
OF them are small, from s by 10 to II by
IA feet, the doors being by 4 feet The
arches over the doors and portfolios are
made Of small cedar poles two inches
wide, placed across, on which the mas
onry il placed The seepers supporting
the floors are Of cedar. about eight inches
thick, and from twenty to fifty feet long,
and about feet apart. A layer of small
round poles wac then placed across the
sleepers, then layer of thinly-split
cedar sticks, then about three inches of
earth, then layer of cedar bark, then
another layer OF dirt, then a carpet Of
some kind of coarse grass. The rooms
that have been protected from exposure
are whitewashed, and the walls are orna-
mented with drawings and writings. In
one Of these rooms the impression of O
hand dipped in whitowash on 4 joist is
as plain as if it had been done only
yesterday. In another room there are
drawing Of tarantulas, centepedes, horses
and men.
In some of the rooms have been found
human bones, bones Of sheep corn-cobs
goods, raw hides, and all colors and va
rieties of pottery ware. These two large
buildings are exactly the same in every
respect. Portions of the buildings plain
ly show that they were destroyed by fire
the timbers being burned off and thu
roofs caved in, leaving the lower rooml
entirely protected. Old bitches ant
roads are to be seen in every direction
The Navajo Indians say, in regard tt
these ruins, that their forefathers cam

and tha. these ruins were there, and tn
same then as now, and there is no recort
whatever of their origin.

A LEG END OF DONNER LAKE.

Among the survivors of the Donner
party was girl twelve years OF age
After facing the starvation and misery OF
that memorable winter when they we're
showed in at Donner Lake, the few who
survived made their way over the mount
aims. There were no roads, and great
and almost insuperable obstacles were
encountered by these starving immi-
grants. At one place, a short distance
this side the summit, the wagons had to
be hoisted up very steep place. by ropes
attached to large tamarack. They were
assisted at this juncture by a few Washoe
Indians, and among the band was fine
looking fellow of about eighteen sum-
mers. who was particularly attentive to
the party, and after scaling the mount.
tains, offered his services to accompany
them, as he was acquainted with the
country. Nothing wrong was inferred
from the offer, but he was gladly accept
ed. He not only went with them over
tho mountain road, but stayed in the
neighborhood where the girl was reared
for years a!terward. He never offered
any advances toward her, never offered
her an insulting word, and although it
was suspected that a strange attachment
had sprung up on his part toward the
girl, it was passed by unnoticed. When
the young woman married Noyah, the
Indian, returned to his old home in the
mountains, and the first place he sought
was his old familiar hunting grounds by
the shore of the high mountain lake He
refused to mix or associate with his
old companions. although his parents
did all in their power to assuaRe his
Melancholy feelings; be became gloomy
and morose, and spent his nights and
days around the shores Of the lake, often
| sleeping on the very spot where the
family suffered the privations and agony
of that cheerless Winter He soon be-
came an object OF curiosity for the neigh
boring Indians. and his strange conduct
attracted the attention of their "medi-
cine man, who advised the tribe that
the young brave was bewitched, or pos
sessed of the devil. This was henlous
offense with the tribe, and it decided his
fate. One morning he was found dead
among the bushes, having been muir.
derered by some of bis own brethren.
He was burned with appropriate cere-
monies as was the custom in those days
The story, although possessing a sem
blance of romance was told US last week
while out to the lake. by an intelligent
buck, who says it is vouched for among
the older members of the tribe. We had
known of the fact that young Indiar
had guided the party, and report had in
formed US that his name was "Truckee,
after whom the river was named. Othe
informants say Truckee was the one wht
guided the Fremont party Trucke,
Republican.
