There rose up instantly a mighty
resolve in Mabel's feminine soul to
show Grandma Jarvis that she could
do more than she gave her credit for
that she would learn to cook in spite
of this diseouraging prophecy. It is
just possible grandma knew who she
was talking to.

little caress on Mabel's fair cheek, and
a nod to her mother, the old lady
went.

WASHINGTON d. c., Sept. "a, IsT.
The absence of the President and several
members of his cabinet for some time has made
Washington uncOmmonly dull The news
mongers have been fairly " run up stumps,"
aud the penny liners have been forced to ex-
ercise their maginations to the utmost stretch.
Facts being scarce. they have undertaken TO
earn their salaries by plentiful creations OF their
own faneies. Among these latter was the story
that there would be this coming winter,

No dividend has beer paid for two
years by the Hudson's Bay Company
in consequence of depression in the
market for furs and seal skins. This
great commercial company finds its vast
territory and its numerous salaried SER
wants rendered almost useless by the
commercial stagnation of the world.
Furs are articles of luxury, and as
such they are largely dispensed with in
these hard times. The shareholders get
nothing on their capital, and as the reg
lar servants employed IN overseeing the
company's territory receive a share of
the profits as part of their payment,
they are being severely cIamped by the
absence of all dividends.

An arrival from Sitka, Alaska, re-
ports a deplorable state of affairs there.
Since the withdrawal of the troops
there has not been semblance of law,
and nothing to restrain the lawless ele-
ments. Several hundred Indians me-
mace the few white inhabitants, so that
the latter are in fear of their lives, and
mediate abandoning the country. The
Indians plunder the Government build
ings at will.

The Supreme Court will meet in
Pittsburg next month. Among the
cases which will claim first attention
before it are the Mollie cases from
SchuylkiIl, Carbon and Columbia coun-
ties. In the case of Kehoe, convicted
of the murder of Langdon, there are
forty,two assignments of error and an
equally large number may be expected
in the case of Fisher, convicted of CON-
plicity in he Powell murder, and Tully,
M'Hugh and Hester, convicted of the
Rea murder.

The splendid suecess of the AmerI.

The splendid SUCCESS of the Ameri-
can rifle team, in the International
shooting match with the picked British
team, at the head of which was Sir
Henry HalfOrd, was another of those
bloOGless victories which are accom-
panied with no regrets. Both teams
were composed of men of high standing
in the two countries, generally men OF
education, and the perfection they have
attained in sending bullet at the dis
tance of more than half a mile, Lifting
a small bulls eye at almost every shot,
is simply marvellous.

DIR. sCHENCx's STANDARD REM
ED1ES.

The standard remedies fer all diseases OF the
lungs are Schencks Pulmonic Syrup, Schenck's
Sea Weed Tonic, and schencks Mandrake Pills,
and II taken before the lungs are DESTROYED,
speedy cure is effected.
10 these three medicines DR.. j. II. Schenck,
OF Philadelphia owes his unrivalled success In
the treatment OF pulmonary diseases.
The PulmoniC Syrup ripcns the morbid mat
ter in the lungs; nature throws it off by an
easy expectoration, for when the phlegm or
matter is ripe, slight cough viii throw it OF,
the patient has rest and the lungs begin to
heal.
To enable the pulmonic Syrup to do this,
Schenck's Mandrake Pills and Schenk's Sea
Weed Tonic must be freely used 10 cleanse the
stomach and liver. Sckenck's Mandrake Pills
act on the liver, removing all distractions. re-
lax the gell bladder, the bile starts freely, and
the liver Is soon relieved.
schenck's sea Weed onic is gentle stimu-
liant and Alternative the alkali or which 1t Is
composed mixes with the food and prevents
sourng. IL hkslstS the digestion by toning up
the stomach to a healthy condition, so that the

then the lungs heal, ana the pa1ient will surely

A Curious Discovery.

A gentleman of this city who has had in
his possession for many years a sketch in
oil attributed to Salvador Rosa, and sup
posed to be painted on Italian oak, took 1t
to be cleaned few days ago to Mr.. Chas.
Volkmar, ST., the artist. On taking OIL
the heavy brown coat OF varnish that dark
ened and almost obscured the picture, MIR.
Volkmar made the discovery that 1t was
painted on thin plate OF silver, the silver
being backed by leather, and the leather by
the oak panel on which 1t had been sup
posed that the painting really was; IL IS
the only picture known to Mr.. Volkmar In
this country painted on silver plate, al,
though he has seen one or two by the old
painters SO treated in Germany. The plate
i no thicker than common letter paper.
