the shetihs of San Francisco great deal
of business in his time.
Nothing went well with him, and he was
beginning to assume picturesque appear
ance. There was an immense bald spot on
his head, which the indians had ornamented
him with His left leg had been set badly
every time it had been broken, and was
shorter than its mate by four inches, which
required the wearing of a cork sole of that
thickness, and, in addition, he lost the mus
cles of his left arm in a threshng machine,
and had three fingers of his right hand cut
off by buzz saw. His left ear had been
taken off by a drunken miner, and his nose
had been broken by fan down a shaft.
However agreeable he was in conservation
and manner, he could not be said to be
handsome. Then his wife added to her
natural ugliness of temper the habit of
drinking, and altogether life was not to
him a rose tinted dream.
AT last one CLEAN of luck did strike him.
\ maiden aunt in Connecticut died and
left him $4,000. He got the money, and
with it left the Pacific coast and came to
Chicago in the Spring of 1871, aud embark
ed in a very modest way in the retail hat
business. He bought for cash, and sold
for cash, and was determined to see if he
could not, in some way, rise superior to
the fate that had so relentlessly pursued
him. Life was putting on another aspect
His wife had partially conquered the appe
tite for Intoxicating liquors, and was con-
Quoting herself as we'll as could be expect
ed. He had a nice trade, and was doing
well. But alas, the fire, 1t burned his
stock, it burned his house, his furniture,
his books, everything except his wife, who
was saved by the superhuman efforts of a
malignant neighbor. The insurance com
panies paid nothing, and heart broken, he
went to Boston, and accepted a place in a
store there. The Boston fire of the sue
ceedipg year threw HIM out of employment
there, and utterly discouraged he has since
lived an aimless life, drifting here and
there, picking up little work where he
could, but depending mostly upon the as
sistance of Californians now resident in
that city, who knew him on the other side.
Illness overlook him in New York, few
weeks ago, and his friends kept him at the
Sturtevant House till he was convalescent.
A relative in Ha. tford. to whom his cond-
ton was made KNOWN offered him an asy-
lum for the rest of his life, and his friends
made up purse and sent him th!ther, on
the 18th ult. Let us hope that his few re,
naming days will be spent in peace
P. S.-Since writing the above we have
heard from Mr.. Sturgeon. He got to Hart
ford safely, but unfortunately at the Moody
and Sankey meeting he met friend of
other days who insisted upon his spending
few days at his home in Barkhamstead.
He was on the train that went down at
Tarffville, and had his other leg broken in
two places, several ribs fractured, and was
otherwise bruised. His luck is after him
yet.-N. Y. Mail.

THE GREAT REGULATOR SIMMONS LIVER
REGULAToR-Su is the season of the
year above all others when the system is
liable to get out of order and severe and
dangerous bilious attacks frequently follow.
The principal cause of nearly all sickness
at this time of the year has its origin in a
disordered Liver, the largest organ in the
body. which if not Regulated in time, great
suffering, wretchedness and DEATH will en-,
sue. A little precaurion taken in tine in
the shape of a reliable and ttficacious Liver
Regulator will in most cases prevent illness
and fatal consequences. No medicine in
modern times has gained wider reputation
than Simmons Liver Regulator manufac
tGred by J. Ii, ZEu.IN 4 Co. This nsrly
celebrated medicine Regulates the Liver,
promotes digestion. and fortities the sys

natural the three separated n kept a
sharp lookout for game Suddenly a
grouse was seen on the wing. and quick az
thought Psmurina discharged his gun.
The weapon did double work. The bird
fell. and n shrek of distress was heard
from the opposite side Of the canyon. Pera-
sich and Pamnrina fastened to the spot
from whence the cry cmanated, and there
found Medigovich writhing in pain and
covered with blood. 1t appears that the
latter was in range of the gun about 40
wards Distant, and that several of the
shots lad lodged in his face and about the
body. After considerable trouble the rn
fortunate man was conveyed to the wagon
and brought to town. DR.. Smart was
summoned to his aid and at oncc attended
TO his wounds. Nine shots were found
about lis person, the most dangerous being
that lodged in the right eye. AT first DR..
Smart had fears that the eye would be lost,
but this morning thinks it can be saved.

SINKING OF THE PRINCESS ALICE,
seven Hundred Lives last.

LONDON, September Q.
The excursion steamer Princess Alice,
returning from Gravesend this evening
with about 500 passengers, was run down
off Barking about 8 O'Clock by q screw
steamer, and it is reported between 400
and 500 persons were drowned. The Prin-
cess Alice was struck amidships and sank
almost instantly. The number of persons
drowned is v%ariously estimated at from
500 to $50. A higher estimate is the la
test, and is given by the London Steam
boat Company, owners of the Princess
Alice. The company's wharf is besieSed by
crowds Of people anxious to hear of rela-
tives and friends who were passengers on
the Inflated boat. The steamer which sank
the Princess Alice is supposed to be the
Bewell Castle, n screw collier bound north
in ballast. The steward of tho Princess
Alice states that after the collision the 9TH
er steamer proceeded without at
tempting to render aid. He es-
Inmates that 200 persons were on board
the steamer She sank bow first in five
minutes after she was struck. Some small
boat and another excursion steamer rem
dered what assistance was possible. The
| drowned include an extraordinary proper
ton of women and children. Several
survivors speak Of having lost as
many rs Ave and six children. They
describe the water covered with hundreds
Of shrieking people. The captain and
nearly all the crew Of the Princess Alice
were drowned. They had no time to lower
the boats, and there were bat few life
buoys ON the steamer. All the police Of
| Woolwich town and arsenal are engaged
labelling bodies, chiefly women and chill
dren, which completely fill the board-room
at the Steamship C%ompany's Office at
Woolwich. Passengers who scrambled on
board the Bewell Castle say she threw ropes
to the people struggling in the water. The
number lost is still uncertain, but com-
p~arison Of various accounts seem to show
about $50. The Princess Alice was a
paddle-whcel steamer with a raised saloon.
