SunerStitiOn,

A panacea, or ''cure-all," is one of the myths
Of the age of superstition. DR.. R.V. Pierce
does not recommend any one or even his whole
list of standard remedies as adequate to cure
every disease. For severe lingering coughs,
bronchial, throat, and chronic lung diseases,
he believes his Golden Medical Discovery is
unsurpassed, but it will not cure you if your
lungs are half wasted by consumption. The
Discovery not only exercises potent influence
over pulmonary affections, by reason of its pee
toral properties, but possesses also the most
valuable Alternative, or bloed-cleansing proper
ties, and is therefore sovereign remedy in
blood and skin affections. But while it will
cure scrofulous and other ulcers or Sores blotch-
es, pimples, and eruptions, it will not cure
cancer, nor does its manufacturer claim any
such merit for it as is done by proprieters of
other blood-cleansing medicines, who dishon-
estly try to deceive the afflicted into the belief
that their preparations will accomplish impos-
sibilities. By reason of its real intrinsic merit
it has sale surprising that of any other blood
and cough medicine:

rously. We laugh at a man who going
home with his servant slipped off over
his horses head into the water when
the horse stopped to drink. Then he
cried out to his servant, SANDY, some
thing has fallen off, and Sandy said,
There is nothing fell off, Aye, but,
said he, L heard splash When SAN
dy got off his own his own horse he
helped his master back, but got him
on fscing the wrong way. Now he
said, Sandy, give me the bridle.'
Why, master, there amt no bride,
and there amt no place for bride;
and here's miracle, for the horses
head is off, and there's nothing left but
long piece of his mane.' That is but
one phase, and / will give you az
other:
In a certain town in Connecticut a
man came into his house drunk, he had
a little boy 80 or years of age, and
| he came forward to meet him with
both of his arms extended; had the
father been sober the boy would have
been nestled in his fathers bosom, bul
lhe was drunk he seized that boy by
lthe shoulder, lifted him over his head
land dashed him through the second
rstory window. Sash and glaS all went
out, and on the paving among the
mire and bits of broken glass lay
child with both thighs fractured.
There is another phase of the fact yor
laugh at, and that is, that when a mai
is drunk he don't know what he j;
about, and whether man laughs oi
cries, shudders OF chuckles, whether s
l. Il Il, L, aArr1 m O nj
or the marrow in his bones STANDS
stone cold, drunkenness is debasing
imbruting, blasting and scathing 10 ev
erything that is bright and noble ant
manly and Go,!iikt- iii IA human beinl
whether 20 iaugh or cry. [ Applause.
i Now, great many people say tina
a man who would throw his child ou
Iof the window is brute. All, m!
friends, it is very easy to call mel
brutes. l worked for thirty-five year
among the drunkards, among cr-ml
I mails, and never found brute amons

Toggers was hard woman, yetin he

Mr.. Parker and His White Bull
RnKa.


Mr.. Parker was walking down Broad
way yesterday, benevolent smile on
his ruddy countenance and fat, white
bull dog trotting complacently a. his
heels. Occasionally Mr.. Parker would
look around at the dog and chuckle to
himself. HF
The Board of Aldermen be darned,'
said Mr.. Parker Pm not going to
put four-foot strap on your neck,
Marcus Aurelius, and Marcus Aurelius
wagged his stump Of tail. Just then
small boy exploded bomb directly
under the dogs black nose, and that
animal gave howl and made q dash
at the small boy. 4EtEs
Look year, yelled policeman to
Mr.. Parker, you want to put a strap
on that year dawg. He's mad
He is not mad said Mr.. Parker,
We'll, old fellow, whose the judge
l say that year dawg's mad, aud I'm
goin' to knock I'm on the head with
my club
Mr.. Parker for the moment looked
frightened. Suddenly, however, O
twinkle cameinto his eye, and drawing
himself up to his full height, he ad.
dressed the policeman haughtily:
Officer, you evidently do not know
whom we are. We had desired to pre-
serve our incognito, but you force us to
reveal ourselves. We are the Grand
Duke Alexis and that is our bulldog
That dog is an alien; he is not citizen
and must not te bound by foreign laws
and straps. Do you wish to embroi
your land in war with Russia? i
you do, Just club that dog
We'll, call off your dawg, then,' said
the policeman.

without the slightest hesitation.

to day the fire is raging fiereer than

Whitefield fought the fire all day long
to save the village and large lumber
mills belonging to the Brown Lumber

A number of San Franci>co school
ma'ams are forming colony to emf
CRATE to Southern California, where
they will establish an exclusively fe.
male community, purchase tract OF
land, and engage in the culture of figs,
oranges, lemons. lines, grapes and
other spmi-tropical products. The
country is very favorable to such an
undertaking, The land being fertile and
easily titled land the climate warm the
year'round, thus making the cost OF

Tall and white lighthouse stands
Where earth and ocean meet;
The rippling waves CaTess the sands
Spread at its rock-girt feet.
Fair and foul, it is always there,
A guide to the roaming mariner
When from high the lavine air -
Bends down to kiss the sea,
When all its peace anear, afar,
And the waters placid be.
II seems to him of little use
And cfies 70 the winds and to fear@'a truce.
But when before the angry elond u II
The gentle sky doth flee,
When fierce winds scream their war-cry
loud
Like hellish minstrelsy,
And the frenzied waves, from the Storm
Kings face,
Rush to the -blanched sands embrace.
All! then the storm-tossed sailor cries;
ga blessed thing, indeed,
Is yon bright }ighs % my weary eyes -
In this hour Of my need ;T zf
And helpless wretch on this foaming sea
Without that lighthouse should BE-"
suclrto the world, Is tie light Of faith q
In This blinded life we lead; IA
When all its peace and smooth our path,
A thing. we little heed, go -
But, when o'er stormy seas we're driven, !,
A blessed thing is a faith in Heaven - }

The overland movement of coffee
from Californian ports has fallen off
wonderfully within three years. In
1874, 926, 900 pounds were sent East
from San Francisco; in 1875, 1,2S1, ,OOO
pounds, and in 1876 only LOG. 900. The
ambition of San Francisco has aspired
10 reach two thirds of the way acress
the continent and lay heavy hand on
the whole coffee trade of the Missis
sippi Vslley. but the irresistible argu-
ment of freights is against her. Itco ,ts
her from 81 to 52scents more per 100
pounds to land coffee in Chicago than
it costs New York.
The arms and ammunition factories
in Connecticut, including the Bridge
port metallic cartridge factory and the
Brown Brothers factory al Waterbury,
are running night and day to fill orders
from both Russia and Turkey. The
Winchester Arms company of New
Haven fill the cartridges. Colts fac
tory in New Hartford is said to have
recently received a large order from
Russia for navy revolvers.
