Triumphant Nature.

Mrs. L., of San Francisco, a most es-
timable lady, has been the observed OF all
observers this season at Santa Cruz-the
admiration of the gentlemen and the en-
w of the ladies. Handsome, graceful, land
charming on land, she was perfection in
the water, and by her bold and splendid
swimming furnished enjoyment to her
self and wonderment to her less accom-
plished acquaintances. She wore a
tight fitting bathing-suit, which covered
her from head to foot, but failed to con-
ceal her beautifully nodded limbs. The
women said it was art-pure art; that
under her bathing-suit she concealed
pads and padding to disguise her pau
city of charms, and that her astonish-
ing endurance in the water was due to
plenty of cork similarly hidden. Mrs.
l.. of course heard of it, and one day,
instead of riding down to the beach in
her carriage with her bathing costume
on, as had been her custom, she reso-
lutely marched down to the bathing
houses, procured one of the ordinary
light costumes, and tripped down to the
beach, the cynosure of all eyes, her bare
limbs challenging criticism. She then
swan out into the surf mile, floating
and disporting herself in the arms of old
Neptune, and returned. AS the result
of this coup de grace the women were
diicomited, the voice of envy silenced,

FOR THE CURE OF
FEVER and ACUE
Or CHILLS and FEVER.

The proprietor of this celebrated medicine
Justly claims for it superiority over all rem
edes ever offered to the public for the SAFE,
CERTAIN, SPEEDY and ndPERMANENT cure
ofhgue and Fever, or Chills and Fever, wheth-
er of short or long standing. He refers to the
entire Western and Southern country to bear
him testimony to the truth OF the assertion
that in no case whatever will it fail to cure II
the directions are strictly followed and carried
out. In great many cases aslngle dose mas
been sufficient for cure and whole families
have been cured by single bottle, with per-
feet restoration of the general health. IL is,
however, prudent, andin every case more Ger
tain to cure, if its seis continued in smaller
doses for a week or two after the disease has
been checked, more especially in difficult and
long-standing cases. Usually this medicine
will not require any aidto keep the bowels In
good order. Should the patient, however, re-
Guire cathartic medicine, after having taken
three or four doses of the Tonic, single dose OF
BULLS VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS WILL
be sufficient.

Tho failure Is due 10 any one OF doZ-
