JEWELS OF THE Crown OF SCoTLAND.--At
Edinburg, Scotland. some years since, the
Jewels of the Crown were locked in a box,
that box in another, and so on, until they
were supposed to be burglar-proof. They
were then locked up in the vault of the
castle, there to remain for one hundred
years, the keys being placed in mortar and
fired into the sea. Scarce fifty years passed
by, and the modern lock-pickcr opens the
vault and boxes without trouble. So the
science of medicine when studied with the
aid of chemistry and the microscope, be-
comes plain and simple, and diseases that
were regarded incurabc q generation ago,
now readily yield to remedies employed by
the modern and progressive physicians. A
disease Of years since, and women were
taught to believe that their peculiar dis
eases and weaknesses were incurable; but
now hundreds and thousands of once bed
ridden women in the United States will
testify TO the fact that DR.. Pierce's Favoritc
Prescription has effected their perfect and
permanent cure.
TOLEDO, Ohio, Dec. 9th, 1876.
DR.. r. V, Pierce Buffalo, N Y.
Dear Sir-About five years since my wife
was taken sick. and though we employed
the best physicians in our city, yet she
gradually grew worse, so that she was con.
fined to her bed. Every remedy | had
tried, or could find, failed to cure or even
give relief. At last procured q bottle o.
your Favortc Prescription and to my sur
prise it gave almost instant rclici, and will
a little perseverance, IN entire cure wa'
effected. Ever gratefully yours,
| GEO, BODENMILLER.

THE CALIFORNIA AGITATOR.
AN ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION EXTENDED TO

AN ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION EXTENDED TO
KEARNEY On HIS ARRIVAL AT BOSTON.
BosToN, July 2j.-Dennis Kearney, the
California labor revolutionist, is expected to
reach Boston Monday, and arrangements
have been made by certain labor agitators
to give him reception. Large committees
were appointed at II meeting last night,
presided over by Z. NJ. Chamberlain, candi-
date some years ago of the labor reformers
for governor. 1t is proposed to prese, t
Kearney with an address Of welcome and to
have hall for the purpose. Kearncy sends
word ahead that he will not change his
style Of speaking to suit the sensibilities Of
the Boston people, and will give his
speeches, unauthorized. He will also re-
late how railroad companies tender
ed him free passes; how he scooped them
declaring he would take nothing from the
vampires. Kearney's mother and brothers
live in Brighton, one of the suburbs of ,he
city, and to visit them, he says, is his in
tention, "a well as to stir up the working
men and work for his friend Butler The
home of his mother and brothers is in u
modest cottage. The old lady came over
from ireland few years ago. She is well
preserved woman, about go years old,
Dennis, she says, was smart lad at home,
in the county Of Cork, where he was born
in lS47. Two of his brothers live with the
old lady here, Michael being tailor and
Patrick blacksmith. His oldest brother,
Jerry, is following the sea, and is some
where on the coast Of Africa, and another
brother is a drayman.

GOOSE ISLAND FIASC0.

A PLAN TO CAPTURE INTENDING ROBBERS
FALLS THRoUGH-uow THE SCHEME
WORKED.
About two weeks since the premises Of
Mr.. James Mulcahy, at Goose Island, was
entered and robbed of about eighty dollars
in money. The perpetrators Of the act left
no clue behind, although suspicious were
entertained of parties in the neighborhood
Shortly after this a clerk in the employ Of
Mr. Mulcahy was approached and and a
scheme to rob his employer preached to
| him. After asking time to consider the mat
ter, and receiving it, the parties who made
the proposition took their departure. The
clerk at once communicated the nature of
the proposal to his employer, and that gen.
tleman at once advised him to enter into
the scheme and keep him posted as to its
progress. The parties returned in few
days, and the clerk told them that after de-
liberatng over the matter he had concluded
to Join them, and stood ready TO give them
such information as he possessed A sub
sequcnt meeting of the plunderers and
the clerk was held and arrangements We're
made to carry out their plans.
They were to meet in the
vicinity of the store on Thursday
night, and with the assistance of the
clerk carry out their scheme. Mr.. Null
cahy was, of course, informed of their plans
and accordingly took measures to Illustrate
them. Into his secret he let a number Of
friends andthey armed and prepared them
selves to meet the robbers. At the time ap-
pointed six men, masked, appeared at the
rendezvous, ready for operations. The
Mulcahy men drew Gordon about
them and closed in. The rob-
bers for some reason or other, took
alarm and scattered in all directions.
We did not learn that any shots were fired
or exchanged. Two of the maskers were
captured, but in the darkness prevailing es-
capped. The persons are known, and their
capture if they remain in the county, is only
question of time. 1t is believed that the
parties who stole the eighty dollars were
members of the last gang, and there is u
probability of the recovery Of the money.

DEATH OF NICK SMITH.
SAD SEQUEL TO THE MOUND CITY ELOPE-
MENT.

SAD SEQUEL TO THE MOUND CITY ELOPE-
MENT.
The readers of THE BULLETIN will re-
member the recount given few weeks
since in our columns of the clopement Of a
Young man named Mcbride with the daugh-
ter of Mr.. Nick Smith, of Mound City
We stated at the time that the clipping pair
were arrested at Chester, in this state, upon
telegram sent from this city, and that the
father had started for that point to bring
his daughter home. 1t appears that upon
his arrival at Chester he found
that his daughter had been married, and
seeing the uselcssness of any further opposi
ton, he became reconcled to the situation
and Mcbride and his wife were permitted
| to depart in peace for st. Louis. 1t was
supposed at the time that Smith returned
home, but subsequent events prove the sup.
position to be incorrect. The Chester Tri.
bune of the Gath inst, in speaking of the
matter says that Nick Smith arrived there
on Friday evening, July l2th. He was un-
der the influence of liquor and being sub
ject to apopletic fits Or something similar,
and much excited over his
daughters runaway, had an unusual
ly severe shake that night. Next morning
he came on the hill, in company with his
new made son-in-law, to consult an attorney
about prosecuting the officers for permitting
his daughter to escape and marry. lie was
advised from this course. His son-in law
left him and returned to the hotel, and on
arrival of the boat, departed for st. Louis.
Smith fingered around the courthouse for a
while, and then went to the upper part OF
town. He complained of feeling unwcll 1t
is believed he was still drinking. He in
CURED the way to the penitentiary. Being
out OF money, he wanted to see
Deputy Warden Alex. Irwin, with whom he
was acquainted, to borrow sufficient
amount TO return home. Nothing more
was seen of him. On Tuesday morning
following a man, in an advanced state of
decomposition, was found midway between
the city and the penitentiary. He was ly-
inc under a tree, on the hillside, at full
length, and must have been there two or
three days. From the description we have
of the body, and of the subject Of this
sketch, that man was Nick Smith. He was
on his way to the pententiary, and feeling
unwell, had laid down and died. The re-
mains were inferred in Evergreen Cemetery
Smith was German by nativity, about
forty-fiye years old, and at times was very
Incorporate in the use of liquor. When
under its influence he was regarded as q
dangerous man, and in difficulty with a
young man named Dwycr at Mound City
about five or six years ago he stabbed and
killed him. For this crime he served out a
term in the pententiary. He owned and
operated a saloon at the time Of his death
The Tribune says that Mr.. Smiths relatives
haye been appraised Of the facts stated
and a description of the dead man sent
them.

A. PROPHESY KILLED.
No Depreciation Of Bonds by the
Silver Bills Passage.

LONDON, February l9.--The Times says
that United States funds have surprised
many people by advancing instead OF
falling on receiving the news that the
silver bill had passed in a manner that
will insure It's becoming law ia much
It's present shape. We have always
said the public were not selling the
stock to any appreciable extent,
and the weakness which has now
and then characterized the bonds was
due, az much'as anything, To the passing
tears OF dealers and SPECTATORS in selling,
which only made the market harder;
hence, on receipt OF better New York
prices, and because the worst was now
known, the market naturally rose by the
mere efforts of those who had sold to buy
back. Besides 1t has been noticed that
the limitation put upon the quantity OF
silver that may be coined within q given
time is ittelt tantamount to making silver
subsidiary coinage-at all events, Tor
some considerable time. So there is lit~
tie alarm felt, and holders stick to their
bonds. The only thing that will lower
the prices of these or any other high class
stock just now is dearer money.
