Buy the choppers Delight" Of
JONES Il HOLLISTER.


A few days ago lady In the Sixth
Ward was making moiasses candy for
her children. While removing the
melted liquid from the stove, her little
boy in his haste to obtain his portion,
stumbled against his mothers elbow,
upsetting the dish over her hand, burn
ing her hand i'm frightful manner.
She Immediately wrapped her hand up
in Il cotton handkerchief and saturated
it with " bottle of Wolcott's Pain Paint,
keeping 1t constantly wet with the
remedy. The result was more than
wonderful; it not only stopped all pain
in II very short time, but her hand did
not even blister, and the next day Was
apparently Us well as ever, with the ex-
ceptiOn of two small places where the
skin was actually burned OFT ut the
time Of the accident. She says that
with this remedy, she never fails In
removing Headache, ToOthache and
Neuralgia within u few minutes by an
outward application; besides curing
Rheumatism, healing Ulcers and sores
of long standing, without causing any
pain in its direct application; on the
contrary, producing u very cooling
and soothing effect to all infiamcd sur
faces.
This remcdy-"Wolcott's PainPalnt"
has been before the public for many
years, and Is well known for its re-
markablc powers as healing agent.
For the benefit of our readers we would
say that this Medicine Is manufactured
by Il. l.. Woldott, 63 Cortlandt street,
New York, and sold by all druggists.

Ijeath in His faYOrite Robe.

The mOrtuary statistics Of the whole
civilized world show that about one
fifth of all mankind die ofcOnsumption
alone, and the number of deaths due to
9 assumption bears greater ratio to
the whole number than that Of any
other three diseases together. More
over, investigation proves that this ra-
ito Is steadily increasing. Its increas-
ing prevalence has led to the popular
belief that consumption Is incurable.
Every year hundreds of these sufferers
seek, In the sunny retreats of Florida
or the dry atmosphere of Colorado, for
hcalth--and find only n grave. The
influence of the atmosplere-the only
remedial agent that either Florida or
Colorado can afford the consumptive-
Is ut best only puitidtiUe. The cure OF
consumption depends upon two essen
tiul conditions: lst, the arrest OF the
abnormal breaking down ofthe tissues,
which prevents emaciation, and 2d, the
restoration of healthy nutrition, In or
der to stop the formation Oftuberculous
matter. Fulfill these conditions, and
consumption is US curable as fever. To
fulfill these conditions the required
remedy must increase the appetite, fil-
vOr the assimilation of food, and enrich
the blood, thus rctarling the develop
ment Of tubercles. To accomplish this
u more powerful Alternative than DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has
never been discovered. At the same
time, it soothes the irritation Of the
nervous system produced by violent
coughing, which in its turn SO often
leads to more serious results. The use
of "expectorants" In consumption IL
absolutely suicidal. For while remov-
ing the tubercles already formed, they
produce yet more serious results by in-
flaming and destroying the sound and
healthy tissues. Consumption requires
remedy that will soothe while II re-
lievcs; harsh medicines, but add fuel to
the flame that already threatens to con-
sumo the system. The Golden Medical
Discovery fulfills the conditions, and
has been pronounced the best remedy
yet discovered to allay and arrest con-

LIFE SAVING SERVICE.

Hon. s. S. Cox has made himself
thoroughly acquainted with the lie
saving service establishment of the
United States, and is as earnestly at
work for its reform and elevation as its
most Jealous partisan could desire.
The bill on the subject introduced In
Congress in December last has not yet
fairly been acted upon, and Will re-
ceive his entire support in due time.
If Congress could only lie awakenedto
a thorough consideration of the mat
ter, consider the evidence, and learn
the lesson taught by such wrecks as
that of the Metropolis, and Others oc-
curing this season, there could be but
one way Of thinking. The bill offered
by Mr.. Cox provides for a service
covering all the line between the equi-
notical storms; a better compensation
for the station men; the establishment
of stations at points proved to be the
theatre of frequent wrecks; horses
kept at stations, and, above allan in
disDensable necessity--aD efficient head,
be it called Commissioner, oraDy other
name whatsoever. AS a rule the
American people are entirely too reck'
less of life. In the mining operstions
of this Coast hundreds of valuable
lives are sacrificed annually. Laws
and regulations affording better pro-
lection to men who are compelled to
follow this hazardous employment
would be especially correct.

EUREKA DAILY SENTINEL.
TELEGRApHIC ATE

1t Is announced hat a new telegraph
company, with an ultimate capital OF
&c., 900 600, is to be organized as a rival
to the Western Union. AS usual, it is
promised thatthe "dear people" are TO
he greatly benefited by reduced
charges for telegraphing, and, at the
same time, the stockholders are to re-
ceiye handsome dividends. AS usual,
too, should the company be organized
It will probably be absorbed in some
way by the Western Union. We say
..as usual" basing Che conclusion on
the similar experience of previous
companies which in their prospectuses
have been equally benevolent to the
public and to the stockholders. 1t is
probably true that the public has Sc
cured a benefit from the competition in
the telegraph business, but 1t is also
r that there is a definite minimum
average cost for sending messages, and
any competition that forces rates now
below this cost can be Of only tenn
porary benefit. Telegraphing be-
tween the great cities Is a source Of
immense profit, bat there are scores of
offices where the gross receipts do not
noun to decent pay for the operator,
and these must be taken into account
in determining what are equitable
rates. The original stockholders of
the Insulated Telegraph Company,
which was merged into the Franklin,
which in turn was merged into the At.
lantic & Pacific, finally to be practical
)y absorbed by the Western Union,
will be slow to make a similar invest.
ment for the future. In saying this
much on the subject in a gederal sense,
we do not wish to be understood as
approving the tariff of the Western
Union in all particulars. In fact, we
learn that the promised reduction on
the first day Of April will in most in
stances result in an increase instead of
areduction in rates. Between all
points in this State and San Francisco,
Is cents per message is to be added.
Turning eastward, however, in which
direction we have but little business,
the tariff will be materially cut down.
But it is simply the old, old story. Ne
vada seems doomed to be plucked by
all of the monopolies.

SOME idea of the shrinkage in the
value of real estate in New York City,
within the last few years, may he
formed from the fact that a tract of
land purchased in 1871, by the Indus
trial Exhibition Company. for 81, 700,-
900, between Third and Fourth ave.
nues and Ninety. ninth and One Hun.
dred and Third streets, was sold under
foreclosure Of mortgage last week for
$500, 900. The company paid $500 900
down upon the purchase, and within
three months from that time were
offered 81, 500,0 900 for the property, but
declined to sell, and now what they
have paid is a loss, and the title of the
land reverts to the parties from whom
the purchase la made.
