A CATAGRAPHIC TRAGEDY.

A lady residing in the western part of the
city has been for but single day happy and
contented in the possession of a large, tender
and interesting family, upon which she lavish
ed her undivided affections with great fond
ness The youthful scions of worthy stock
were blessed in the attentions and devotion of
the fond mother and appropriated their daily
modicum of necessary nOurishment without a
fear of the future wish for better times
But alas, danger lurked near the home of
comfort and abode of peace. In the quiet
hours of the night and beneath the rays of
the silver moon (Which at present writing
casts its seductive glare DER the waving
scoop of Eagle Valley while Che yOunglings
were dreaming not ola future state, four gen
tlemen friends, brigands of the sage brush,
us it were, came down on the fold after the
manner of the wolf like Assyrian and canni-
balized all the tender olive branches of that
interesting family until all, save one solitary
pledge of affection,
Like Of the forest when Autumn hath blown
That family, in sections LAY withered and strown'
For the angel of death spread bis wings on tho blast
And breathcd on the little kits ~ he passed"
The maternal instinct was true to the last,
(the last of the Aock We mean) and by dint of
vigorous clawing the guardian of the youth
succeeded in rescuing the last of her race and
carrying him off i'll triumph to box in an
residence occupied by a sympathetic
hem on duty, where the residue of the once
happy family located and now remains. At
last accounts they had possession of the box

HE WISHED 4 REST.

1t was late, the circus was over; and the
light and warmth of inviting saloons had
ceased to cntice the hero of tins tale, as he
wendell his way toward the northern portion
of our city. He stopped at the residence of
a well known citizen, and did not knock, but
quietly walked, or tried to walk, in. He was
arrested i'll his mad career, and the following
conversation took place between the awaken
ed lodger and our friend: "WhO are yOu,

who had imbibed too much huckleberry
Juice were brought before His Honar on the
charge of disturbing the peace, to-wit: Knock
ING at doors, and bowling i'll the wilderness of

thereof, to the great discomfort of peacably
disposed citizens who wished to lie in quiet
repose during the Silly night. One of them
pleaded guilty and was fined twenty dollars,
which he stood like major Of infantry. The
other, conscious of his integrity, pleaded not
guilty, and demanded trial The demand
was acceeded to and the agony set for Satur

that of Mary Mendoza, a person recently

| ATLANTIC CITY. N. j., July 26.-Wit-
ness and other Louisiana politicians had
| figured out how many votes it would take
to elect Packard and Hayes and how
many parishes must be thrown out The
result OF the calculation was sent to Flor
ida, so that the officials there might know
what the ultimate result 10 Louisiana
| might be. Witness had no doubt these
calculations were also communicated to
the visiting statesmen, as they were
equally interested with others in the re-
suit. The final result showed that both
Hayes and Packard were elected under
the laws.
Answering Buffers questions, witness
said nothing could remove Packard from
office when once seated, except by i'm
peachment; the MacVeagh commission
disclaimed any authority, but had an ad
yisory character; they advised COM
promise between mob aBd legal legis-
lature; Packard was recognized in all
parts of the state aud could maintain him
self at the capitol without troops; witness
detailed the means by which the Packard
legislature was disintegrated, those who
deserted it being paid mileage and dues
aud it was even believed by some that
they were paid money; Packards friends
thought the mission was to destroy his
legislature and government and to estab-
ish Nichols, the white league was sworn
as the Nichols militia; the republicans
worked hard to maintain their legislature,
and considering there was no money they
did excellently, but they became discour
aged; democrats as well as republicans
firmly believed that the Packard govern
ment would be maintained if the electoral
votes of Florida and Louisiana were count
ed for Hayes.

In the atmosphere experienced here during the
summer months, the lethaigy produced by the heat
takes away the desire for wholesome food, and
frequent perspirations reduce bodily energy, par
tcularly those suffering from the effects of debli-
ting diseases. In order TO keep a natural health
full activity of the system must resort to arlf-
cial means. For this purpose Schenck's Sea Weed
Tonic is very effectual few doses will create an
appetite and give fresh vgor to the enervated body
For dyspepsia, it is invaluable. Many eminent
physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia can be
permanently cured by the drugs which are gener.
ally employed for that purpose. The Sea Weed
Tonic in its nature is totally different from such
drugs. 1t contains corrosive minerals or acids
in fact it assists the regular operations of nature
and supplies her deficiencies. The tonic in its na-
ture much resembles the gastric juice that it ID
almost identical with that fluid The gastric Juice
is the natural solvent which, in healthy condition
of the body causes the food to be digested; and
