A Deer Hunt.

The st. Louis Globe Democrat thus
describes the doings of the deer-hunters
Of that city: Two members of the
Sportsman's Club were out on a deer
hunt the other day. Coming to a
thicket that looked like an excellent
covert for game of all kinds, particularly
deer, they separated and commenced
beating the bush. In short time one
Of the hunters heard q cracking of sticks,
and saw dun-colored object, with what
he took for the antlers Of an enormous
buck, running through the thicket. He
blazed away, and called to this COM
panion, who also fired, and down
dropped the game as dead as door
nail. One Of them started immediately
for Changers house near by to procure
wagon to haul the deer, while the other
sat under tree to wait. In the course
of an hour the Nimrod returned, accom-
panied by the farmer, who drove the
wagon. On looking at the dead animal,
the farmer at once recognized his old
dun mule that had served him faithfully
for fifteen years. The sportsmen paid
the farmer 1856 apiece, and without hunt
ing for any more deer returned to the
city. So much for mistaking the ears of
a mule for the the horns Of deer.

A Chinese Dinner.

Quail, birds nests, sharks fins, fungi,
lusks, mushrooms, bamboo sprouts,
Chinese brandy served in thimbles, tea,
and Roederer. This was the menu at a
banquet given in San Francisco fort
night ago by Chinese merchant Maj
Gen. ingalls,, Pay Director Cunningham,
Col. f. A. Bee, and large company Of
Caucasians were among the guests. The
dinner was eaten with chopsticks to slow
Chinese music, and then the table was
cleared, and as a compliment to the
guests an American dinner was served.
Gentlemen" said one of the Chinese
hosts, when conversation began to droop
and wilt, "you know what the Governor
of North Carolina said to the Governor
of South Carolina It's long time be-
tween drinks" Here was most re-
spectacle Caucasian joke, which has
filled the pauses of many an American
dinner, picked up by John Chinaman and
peddled out on the first occasion. Verify
the Monaghan is making rapid strides
in civilization.

A Guinea is Scarce Follower

Than the complexion of person becomes who
omits to regulate his liver when that important
gland grows neglected. of its secretive function.
Moreover, the stomach under such circum-
stances becomes disordered, the bowels are con-
ssricted, pains in the side and between the
shoulder blades are felt, the head aches, and
the nervous system shares in the general de-
rangement. This concentration Of evils is,
however, easily remediable with that matchless
regulating tonic, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which insures the secretion and flow of healthy
bile, acts gently but effectualy upon the bowels,
and removes every symptom of nervous or di-
8estiye trouble. The result is that renewed
tone is given to the entire system; the sallow,
haggard appearance of the face to which bill
lousness gives rise is superseded by the glow of
health, and the frame gains in substance as
well as YigOr

Prof. Tyndalps Warming.

In concluding an address to the students of
University College Iondon) Prof. Tyndall,
who is unquestionably one of the most indie
fatigable brain-workers of our century, said,
take care of your health. Imagine Hercules
as oarsman in rotten boat what can he do
there but by the very force of his stroke expe-
dlte the ruin Of his craft. Take care of the
tlmbers OF your boat" The distinguished SCI
entlsts advice is equally valuable to all acorkerS
we are apt to devote all our energies to WELD
ing the oars, our strokes fall firm and fast, but
few OF us examine or even think of the condi-
uon OF our boats until the broken or rotten
tlmbers suddenly give way and we find ourselves
the victims OF calamity which could have
been easily avoided by little forethought What
began with slight fracture or perhaps even a
careless exposure to disorganizing influences,
ends III the complete wreck of the life-boat
The disease which began with slight headache
OF undue exposure to cold terminates in DEATH
unless its progress be checked, and the disease
remedled. The first symptoms, the heralds of
disease, give no indication of the strength of
the on-coming foe, and the victim trusts that
his old ally, Nature, will exterminate the inva-
der. But disease is an old general and accom-
pushes his most important movements in the
nighttime, and some bright morning finds him
in possession of one of the strongest fortifica-
TONS and when he has once gained a strong
hold in the system Nature gnominiouslv turns
era1GOT ana secTebly delivers up the whole phys
ical armory to the invader. Like the willy poll
tician, Nature is always on the strongest side,
and the only way to insure her support is to
keep your vital powers in the ascendant. Keep
your strongest forts-the stomach and liver
well guarded. Do not let the foe enter the ar
terial highways for he will steal or DESTROY YOUR
richest merchandise and inpoverish your King
dom. To repulse the attacks of the foe you can
find no better ammunition than DR.. Pierces
Family Medicines Gull directions accompany
each PACKAGE His Pleasant Pwgative Pellets
are especially effective in defending the stomach
and liver. His Golden Medical Discovery for
purifying the blood and arresting coughs and
colds. If you wish to become familiar with the
most approved system Of defense in this war
fare, and the history of the foes method of in
vasion, together with complete instructions for
keeping your forces in martial order in time of
peace, you can find no better manual of these
tactics than "The Peoples Common Sense Med

symptom if Helen should begin to dis

those of the present, the old lady could
not control her feelings, and uttered an

George, who answered with motion of

"Forgive me for worrying you, dear
but do not doubt me. I love you-love

around his neck.
A thrill of joy entered the young mans

The National Life Insurance Company of
the United States of America.

In marked contrast with the unpleasant deyeonnens
that have appeared recently concerning certain comma
MES, we glad to note the results of an official
nation OF this Company. Although having charter
direct from Congress- it does attempt to dsayow its
responsibility to State insurance laws
by mutual agreement, on behalf of the State Denart
ments of New York, Massachusetts, PENNSYLVANIA and
Michigan, the Hon. Samuel H. Rowe of the latter State
commenced on January 9Th rigid examination of the
BOOKS, assets and liabilities of this COMPANY. Commits
soner Rowe assisted by Prof Watson the we'll
Actuary and " III. Lott. ESQ.
The detailed examination continued without jnterrun
ton until the 10th of February The results are highly
gratifying the friends of the omDanv and fbe nhI;c
generally. On the 18th instant the COMPANY received
from Commissioner Rowe renewal of its authority to do
business in Michigan together with his written assurance
that he found the Company able to comply fully with the
stringent laws of his State The entire invested
IN United StaIes bonds and first mortgages On the st
OF December 1876 IL had grand surplus above all iabil-
tiles OF ST. 48S35. Its receipts in 1875 exceeded IFS
disbursements by $500 000 although it paid in death
claims nearly quarter of million dollars More per-
feet security could not be offered to insurers 1t is almost
unnecessary to say that this Company has nothing to do
with the National Capital Life Insurance Company of
the District OF Columbia Unlike the latter concern the
National Life insurance Company of the United States
OF America is not reinsuring other companies and not
responsible in for the liabilities or policies of the
republic Life Insurance Company or any other corpora
