Divorce Run Mad.

In these days of frequent and often re-
peated divorce, the children of divorced
couples sometimes become sorely confused
in respect to the nature Of their filial af-
fectiOn and the exact direction that il
should take. A girl of Is or 16, living
in St Louis, is a sufferer from such cause,
and thus relates her bewildering expert

BARNUM'S FAT WOMAN.

No circus is now considered complete
unless it has an enormously fat woman
in a side tent. As Barnum has the
greatest show on earth, he OF course
has the latest woman. Yet OF the thou.
SANDS of curious people who annually
visit this monstorsity, few ever reflect
that her obesity is a disease. Until
very recently there was no known REM
edy for this abnormal condition. Al
ian's Anti-Fat has proved more efhcas-
ious than eveu the most sanguine hopes
of its discoverer had anticipated. BY
its use even Barnum's fat woman could
be reduced to graceful and even deli
cate proportions. Sold by druggists.

The Mosquitoes Of the Joaquin.


(An Attack on the Pests, not the Places
The mosquitoes OF the Joaquin,
There's just no use O. talkin'-
Are not the sort for balkin',
By any common ways
So sure as you go among 'em,
Il wish that Kearnsy'd hung EN-
They'll bleed you nights and daysl
The mosquitoes of the Joaquin,
With loud songs and with bills keen
Can soon make fat man lean.
By tricks queer and ways dark,
Your sleep is broke in the middle,
When they begin to fiddle.
They "climb the trees and bark"
Your mosquitO-bars arc nowhar,
Somehow the 'skeeter'll be thar.
It's fact, sir, on the squar!
Hes bound to get inside.
Once l had friend that tried 1t,
And know he never lied 1t;
He says they plugged his hide.
There, at Grayson and Hills Ferry.
These pests are vicious very,
It's frightful how they VERY
A fellow out of sleep.
You may WOO Morpheus with toddy,
No use! they'll take your body;
Pray well your soul to keep.
Our friend had real lively times,
While he fought, and heard their chimes.
Lay, and fumed, and planned these rhymes
Thinking of the Joaquin.
When he arose, soon after dawn,
Hundreds there, though scores were gone!!
Just no use o. talkin'!
He tried his "level best" to sleep.
Nor "slept wink" till dawn did peep;
While scores of pests their vigils keep,
He fought, and thought, and tossed ON.
Was e'er the like found anywhere,
For sounds and bites, or sounds by pair?
Unless 1t be sin BostonT'
He thought of songs celestial,
Jubilee" and FESTIVAL"
This, he says, was BEsTi-al, (best Of alp
This music Of the wings.
Babies cries, when they are toothingf
Thunder-storms7 Obi they're soothingl
But this was not, ''by jingsP'
He recalls the Anvil Chorus;
He thinks of things that bore US
Bad as an OK can gore us,
Though on a smaller scale:
And while many q siren sings,
Dreams the worlds just full of things,
That sting with bill or tall
Settlers, they say, never mind it
Though rough all strangers find 1t,
For they ali get badly hit!
call such things a curse.
You think not? Well. you Just try 'emI
Talk of ''perdidi diemP'
Perdidi noctem's worsel

And such devourin' creeters,
Sing hallelujah meters,
For blessings ye enioyi
Don't stay long on Joaquin river
You'll have healthy liver.
And sleep without alloy.

Symptoms of a DiseasedLiver.

Symptoms of Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under the
L edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
tlte and sickness; the bowels In gen.
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part There is
generally considerable loss of men,
ory, accompanied with a painful SEN
sation of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains OF prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
ne can scarcely summon up foritude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex.
isted, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DR.. c. McLANE's LIVER PILLS, IN
CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better

or after taking Quinine. We would

disease to give them a FAIR TRIAL.

Still More Evidence.

Evidence accumulates to sustain the belief
that the Democrats contemplated violence as
well as bribery, in order to prevent the full
electoral vote of South Carolina being cast for
Hayes. The latest evidence is that of Judge
Samuel Shellabarger,'of Ohio, who makes the
following statement:
Secretary Of War and Attorney General TO act
as counsel in the mandamus case brought before
the vote was cast Wade Hampton's militia
to the number of 5000, were there to inaugur-
ate him. soon found out their plan, which
was subsequently made public, and is confirmed
by the cipher dispatches 1t was to arrest the
Republican Electors for contempt of the Su-
preme Court in not obeying its order in the
mandamus suit, and to imprison them In differ
ent Jails, so that it would be impossible for
tnem to meet at 10 or 1890 O'Clock. Believing
tnat tnls was their plan, we arranged to have Q
preliminary meeting of electors very early that
morning, and to have them vote before the Su-
preme Court could touch them, as that court
could not meet before TO- We found in the
morning that the Democrats had one of the
electors. colored man. The electors met. /
was present. from the fact that was connected
with the defense in the mandamus suit, The
electors were waiting for th-ir absent member.
The report was brought that he was in a bank
with the Democrats, and there was great alarm
among the Republicans. TLey felt confident
there was corrupt sale being ATTEMPTED.
They did not get their meeting before the court
met as was arranged. Such arrangement
seems to have been made that, If there had
