There In Danger Ahead.

When those usually active little organs,
tho kidneys are neglectful of their duties
and grow sluggish, fatty degeneration,
Bright's disease. diabetes, and other dan.
gerous maliadies. are the result of neglect
to remedy this inactivity by medicinal
means. When the all important func-
tions of the kidneys are imperfectly dis
charged, those organs need stimulating,
and the best possible agent for that pur~
pose-since it performs its office without
exciting them-is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which, in combination with Its
tonic and cathartic properties, possesses
valuable qualities as diuretic. Both
Xxi ineys and bladder are strengthened BY
it, and the ylgor which 1t imparts to them,
and the gentle but efiectual impulse
which it gives to their operations, is the
best possible guaranty against their be-
coming diseased. The bltters are invalua
BILE in other respects ss well as the above
since they remedy general debility, utter
Inc troubles, chills and fever, dyspepsia
constipation, govt, rheumatism, anC
other ailments.

Mrs. Sarah Lamb, a woman OF the
town, was found at the corner OF Eighth
street and Commercial avenue at a late
hour Oh Thursday night IN a state OF
beastly intoxication. Chief AFTER was
notified, and took her to the lookup.
On the way the "old woman" made it
lively for AFTER. Three hundred
Comanche Indians could not have made
It llvelier. She did everything that was
moan and wicked, and made more noise
than most men could have made. But she
was finally locked up. Yesterday she
was before Judge Bird on a charge OF
drunk and dlsorderly and was fined five
dollars. She paid the fine and was dis
charged.
Pat. Bradley, for being drunk, was
arrested by Officer Sargent. Bird fined
him two dollars. Pat settled the bill and
was permitted to retire.
John Mcclure and Richard Roach
we're less fortunate than Bradley. They
were fined two dollars each for being
drunk. and having no money, were sent

Intermittent Fever

Is so common in the country as scarcely
to need comment. The causes which
produce it are such as cold, irregular
living, over exertion, low spirits, night
air, exposure to miasmatic exhalations,
&c. In large cities where edge tools
and agricultural implements are manu-
featured, the grinder protects his lungs
from the injurious effects Of the dust
flying OIL the grlndstone by wearing a
respirator. The coal miner ere he de,
sends the shaft provides himself with a
safety lamp to guard against hre-damp.
Now It Is equally necessary for those
who are brought in contact with any Of
the causes leading to intermittent fever,
to provide themselves with that we'll
known and highly esteemed remedy
against 1t, the home stomach bitters.

4 Grouse Filtration.

In tie breeding season, the cocks select
some hollow fallen tree, and stTuttinc up
and down. beat it with their wings, max
ing a muttled, drumming sound, that can
be heard for half a mile. The heat is at
irregular intervals, beginning slowly and
mcaSuredly. and gradually increasing in
quickneSS, until il ends in a roll. If the
bird succeeds in finding a dry log. perfect
" hollow and we'll placed, his tattoo of
welcome can he heard a mile, and is one
of the pleasantest of woodland sounds
1t has the same accelerated pace and is
about the same duration as the call Ofthe
raccOOn, and is only heard in the day
time, rs the Taccoon's is only heard at
night. When its mate hears the drum
ming, she slowly approaches, and, coquet-
tishly picking at seeds she does not want,
comes within sight of the drumming-log.
No maiden is seemingly more uncon-
sciOus of the man she desires 10 attract
than is this russell dame of her gallant
musician. 4 snail is on the May-apple
plant right before her: she pecks at it
three times before hitting it, and then
scratches negligently at imaginary seeds
The cock raises his ruff till it looks like
Queen Elizabeth's; the yellow skin be-
meath flushes with pride; he spreads his
tail like fan; he thrumps his guitar,
clucks an Introductory welcome o. two.
and flies 10 his bride. If however, anoth-
er cock hears the drumming. he feels in
suited at the sound on what he considers
his own domain. He flies to the drum
ming-log and dashes at the brave drum
mer, and the one who is inferior in cour-
age and strength yields his place TO the
holder, and retires discounted.

How a Turk Tried a Sword.

Troops Of newly-recruited soldiers are
every day passing through Constantine
pie on their way to the seat of war. They
are but little removed above savages.
They are truculent, insolent, and utterly
destitute of anything like Difference to
other peoples feelings. They walk three
or four abreast in the streets, giving no
room. and knocking people right and left.
While walking with friend in the
Grand Rue de Pera, a group OF them
broke in between us and hurled US al
most across the street. There was no use
of demonstrating. for there would soon
have collected a crowd of Musssulmen
and women and children with pack of
yelping ours, and we would have been put
in the wrong as GiaOurs. Recently a
Turkish soldier went into the bazar at
Damascus to buy sword. To try the
temper of one, he looked around for some
object. Just at that moment jew hap
pened to pass. In the twinkling OF an
eye, with a sweeping blow he cut off the
head of the Jew as clean as though it had
been done by the ak of the execudoneer.
Turning to the merchant he coolly pro-
nounced it of good steel, paid the price,
and went his way. The Jews in body
demanded his arrest and punishment.
The Governor took no notice of their out
cries than to order him to join his regi-
