-ScARc1rY OF MoNEY.-There is
no doubt but the present condition of
all kinds of business and industry is
fearfully depressed, and it behooves ev-
cry family to look carefully to their ex-
penses. Winter is coming on when
children are liable to Group, Wheoping
Cough, etc. Coughs and Colds will
prevail everywhere, and Consumption,
with other throat and lung diseases,
will carry of many.-These diseases
should not be neglected. Doctors bills
are expensive, and we would advise our
people to use Boschee's German Syrup.

cents will keep your whole family we'll

CityGouncil.

On Monday evening the City Coun-
Gil met in regular session, all being
present except AR. Carlson. In re.
sponse to request Of the Mayor the
fraternity Of liquor dealers, 10 the num-
Der Of forty or more, were also in at
tendance, and it maybe truthfully as
serted that there was a .tuW meeting.
After waiting some time beyond the
regular hour for Mr.. Carlson, the read
ing of the minutes Of previous meetings
during the past month was proceeded
with and the record was approved.
Still Mr.. Carlson did not come and
his Honor, after telling the Alderman
that, perhaps, they had better proceed
with business, Strengthened himself, as
suming an expression Of severe official
dignity, informed the company present
that he was in receipt of a lengthy pc.
tition asking that the sum demanded
for license to sell liquor be fixed at
5000. He read the petition names and
all, and then halted for breathing
spell.
One Of the bar fraternity, whose
name was given US as Mr.. Stefins, arose
with a solemn air and asked the priv.
lese Of saying something. Leave being
granted, he proceeded to inform those
present that eleven years service in the
military profession had crippled him 50
badly that he was unable to work. He
had six besides himself to provide for,
and, with the strictest economy, found
it hardly possible to obtain for himself
and family the necessaries of life.
What was he 70 do if the license was
put at 5000? Paugh IT.
On the conclusion of his remarks,
Mr.. Steffns apparently passed out the
door in disgust. At least we lost sight
of him.
The Mayor seemed greatly pleased
with the conciseness and brevity Of MIR.
Stef6ns' speech and said that it was a
good deal shorter than he expected.
Slowly he resumed his magisterial atti-
tude and stern Official look, and the au.
dience, perceiving that the time had ar
rived for the delivery Of the speech
which they were called together to hear,
awaited breathlessiy the portentous
event.
For proper appreciation Of the in.
tense excitement which reigned, it needs
to be stated that the purpose of his
Honor in calling upon the liquor deal
ers to assemble their forces in the hall
was, as yet, secret locked in his own
bosom or brain, and deepest curiosity
was felt as to what was its character.
Some deemed it likely that he regarded
the Council incapable of transacting the
city's business and had called in the
liquor dealers to assist in running the
machine. Others supposed that his OBJ.
ject might be to inform himself and the
Alderman ec the profits and manner Of

Stunning vitals. We are not race of Titans.
Prometheus might stand chained to the tor

able. Fretful, gloomy, hypochondriacal, he
sees the world and life all on the wrong side

there is asnnny side he regards as an enemy.

The Telephone.

The telephone is quickly working out
a practical application. A Boston COM
pany is prepared to furnish telephone
communication between places not over
twenty miles apart. The advantages are
thus set forth No skilled operator re-
CURED little practice makes any one
master of the telephone : communication
more rapid; the telephone transmits one
or two hundred words minute, the old
Geographic apparatus averages not more
than twenty; no expense required in it's
operation no battery needed; two tele-
phones connecting two houses may be
leased for $40 per year. The company
keeps the instruments in working order.
It must be understood that the rental
mentioned above is for the use of the
telephone instrument. A telegraph line
when required will cost from $500 to
$3.50 per mile.

Fate of the Last Man.

What will become of the last man :?
Various theories that have been serious
ly maintained by scientific men are des-
cribed in the Scientific american, and
we summarize them: l. The surface of
the earth is steadily diminishing, elevat-
ed regions are being lowered, and the
seas are filing up. The land will at last
be all submerged, and the last man will
be starved or drowned. 2. The ice is
gradually accommodating at the North
pole and melting away at the South pole,
the consequence Of which will be an aw-
full catastrophe when the earth's center
Of gravity suddenly changes. The last
man will then be drowned by the rush of
waters. 3. The earth cannot always
escape a collision with a comet, and
when the disaster comes there will be q
mingling of air and cometary gas, caus-
ing an explosion. If the last man is not
sUffocated he will be blown up. 4. There
is retarding medium in space, causing
a gradual loss Of velocity in the planets,
and the earth, obeying the law of gray
itation, Will get closer and closer to the
sun. The last man will be sunstruck.
5. The amount of water on the earth is
slowly diminishing, and simultaneously
the air is losing in quantity and quality.
Finally the earth will be an arid waste,
like the moon. The last man will be suf-
located. 6. Other suns have disappeared,
and ours must, sooner or later, blaze up
and then disappear. The intense heat
of the confagration will kill every living
thing on earth. The last man will be
burned up. 7. The suns fire will grad
ually burn out, and the temperature will
cool. The earth's glacial zones will en-
large, driving our race toward the equa-
tor, until the habitable space will lessen
to nothing. The last man will be frozen
to death. s. A gradual cooling of the
earth will produce enormous assures,
like those seen in the moon. The surface
will become extremely unstable, until
the remnant of humanity will take re-
fuge in caves. The last man will be
crushed in his srbterranean retreat 9.
the earth will at last separate into small
fragments, leaving the people without
any foothold. The last man will have a
dreadful fall through space. 10. The
tenth theory, proving that there will be
no last man at all, is thus expressed:
Evolution does not necessarily imply
progress, and possibly the race may have
refrigerated until the human being pos
sesses the nature Of the plant louise; such
being the case, this single inhabitant will
spontaneously produce posterity Of both
sexes"

One OF the passengers on the Dakota
yesterday was Mr.. Hill Harmon, and ac-
companying him was a wife. Mr.. Har-
mon, shortly after the death Of his wife,
informed his family and his friends Of
his determination to marry again, and
that at the earliest possible moment.
Knowing Of a lady in Maine (whom,
however, he had never seem who pos
sessed all the qualities his heart desired,
he at once openeda correspondence with
her by telegraph, which, after several
messages, resulted in an engagement,
and the naming of the day for their
marriage. Packing his valise, Mr.. Har-
mon started, using the telegraph in the
dispatch Of amatory messages all the
way. On the 7th day April they were
married, and to-day they are at their
Steilacoom home-he after an absence
Of about thirty three days. In that time
he has travelled 5000 miles, met his
present wife for the first time and mar
ried her, and been to New York, Boston,

In a Shane to be Answered.

In one Of the courts in this city, two
or three days ago, there came up for trial
a case in which Chinaman was the
complaining witness against white man.
During the impannelling of the jury one
of the attorneys questioned closely the
men summoned as jurors, to ascertain
their views on the Chinese question.
He asked one of them: "Would you
believe Chinaman under oath % The
witness responded in the affirmative.
"Would you believe a Chinaman as
quickly as you would white man %
'Well (hesitatingly), I would believe
him as soon as I would some white men. y
"That isn't an answer to my question.
I now ask you, and I desire categorical
answer, would you believe Chinaman
as soon as you would believe me, or the
attorney for the defense, for instance e.
ooh, yes, sir; certainly The attor-
ney did not appear 70 feel much better

A Point ON Which the Doctors Agree.

Physicians who have tested Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters concur in representing it to be
an enainently safe stimetlant, far preferable to
the ordinary liquors of commerce, not only
because it is medicated, but because it is inf
nitely pure. It's alcoholic basis is the finest
old rye, and this is tempered and rendered
medicinal by the curative ingredients of bot
anic origin which it holds in solution 1t has
often been initiated. but never rivaled, and
is to-day the leading tonic, diuretic and aperi-
ent of America. Malarial fevers are prevented
and remedied by it, and it is thoroughly re-
liable medicine in cases of dyspepsia, consti-
patton, liver complaint, rheumatism, govt, nerv-
BUSINESS, urinary and uterine affections. 1t i'm

TIE OLD FARMHOUSE.

At the foot of the hill, near the old red mill
In quiet, shady spot
Just peeping through, half hid from view.
Stands a little moss-grown cot:
And, straylng through at the open door,
The sunbeams play on the sanded floor
The easy chair, all patched with care
Is placed by the old hearth-stone:
With witching grace, in the old fireplace.
The evergreens are strewn;
And pictures hang on the whitened wall,
And the old clock ticks in the cottage hail.
More lovely still, on the window-sill.
The dew-eyed flowers rest,
While, midst the leaves on the moss-grown caves
The martin builds her nest:
And ali day long the sunrSer breeze
Is whispering love to the Bonded trees,
Over the door, all covered DER
With sack of dark-green baize.
Lies musket old, whose worth is told
In the events of other days.
And the powder-fask, and the hunters horn
Have hung beside it for many a morn. So
For years have fed with noiseless tread.
Like fairy dreams away,
And left in their flight all shorn of his might.
A father, old and gray;
And the soft winds play with his snow-white hair.
And the old man sleeps in his easy-chair.
Inside the door, on the sanded floor.
Light airy footsteps glide,
And maiden fair, with haxen hair,
Kneels by the old mans side
An old oak wrecked by the angry storm
While the ivy chngs to its trembling FORM
