DIR. Chopin, President of the
Board of Health, reports q cases
of yellow fever at New Orleans-17
of which proved fatal. The Doctor
thinks the cases did not come from
foreign ports, but originated in New
Orleans.
The total number of cases up to
last Monday was 80; deaths, SO.

ABOUT the meanest thing that
has been done lately, was that of
the New Orleans ice-dealers. On
the appearance of yellow fever, they
raised the price from ] to 3 cents
a pound. Arrangements were made,
ly the suffering people, to get ice
from Chicago, and thus defeat the
ghouls who would prey upon the
necessities of the sick and dying.

Pinery Wages.

The following from the Stevens
Point Journal will be Of interest to
those who contemplate going into the
pinery this winter:
AS compared with former years,
wages are going to be low this winter.
Compared, however, with present prices
of provisions and goods, there will not
be very great difference. Loggers
tell us they are hiring. and expect to
hire. crews at from $I2 to 500 a
month. AS good choppers as there
are in the country have been engased
at the latter figures. These, we I'M
derstand are about the prices now pre-
vailing in the Michigan pineries. We
know of one firm that has hired good
horse teams. with drivers for $3.50 a

An Astonishing Fact.

\ large proportion of the American
people are to-day dying from the effects
of Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The
result of these diseases upon the mass
es of intelligent and valuable people is
most alarming, making life actually a
burden instead of pleasant existence
of enjoyment and usefulness as it
ought to be. There is no good reason
for this. if you will only throw aside
prejudice and skepticism, take the ad-
vice of Druggists and your friends,
and try one bottle of Green's August
Flower. Your speedy relief is GER
tain. Millions Of bottles of this med
icine have been given away to try its
virtues, with satisfactory results in
every case. You can buy a sample
bottle for 10 bents to try. Three
doses will relieve the worst case.
Positively sold by all Druggists on the
Western Continent.

The MILWAUKEE, SENTINEL Is
making itself ridiculous in the abuse
of prominent republicans in the state
who do not crawl on their bellies at
the sound Of the sackbuts and cymbals
CT that paper. The Sentinel is partic-
ularly abusive of Il. w. KEYEs, who
is denominated everything in the cate
CORY of meanness ard duplieity. Now
it may be that KEYE5 is a horsethief
and maybe a murderer, but we don't
believe it. We have known the man
for a good decade and we with thou
sands can bear testimony that he is
bull dog IN political fight. and saint
in the spirit of forgiveness when the
contest is over. Hypocrisy is not in
his dictionary. He is sharper than a
napier, and in politics, Napoleon,
but when the Sentinel endeavors to
make people believe that he is fend,
it fools itself KEYEs may have robbed
hen nests when a boy, and sucked
eggs in the rural districts, or tied oys
ter cans to the tails of ye noble canine
and perchance never attended Sunday
school, but he never made so sublime

A Hint TO Grumblcrs.

"Nvhat noisy world this ISL
croaked an old frog, as he squattcd
on the margin of the pond. Do you
hear those geese, how they scream
and hiss? What do they do it for?"
"Oh, just to amuse themselves" ans,
cred a little field mouse.
"Prescnhy we shall have the owls
hooting; What is that for!"
"Its the music they like the best, ,
said the mouse,
"And those grasshoppors; they
can't go home without grinding and
chipping; why do they do that?'
ooh, they are so happy they can't
help it?" said the mouse.
"You find excuses for all. [ be,
lievc you don't understand music, SC
you like the hideous noises"
"Well, friend, to be honest with
you said the mouse, al don't greatly
admire any of them; but they are all
sweet in my ears compared with the
constant croaking of a frog"

A Useful Invention.

We have just perfected an inyen-
tiOn which viii probably relieve US
in the future from the persecution Of
life-insurance agents and book can
vassers. 1t is in the nature Of pat
ent combination rehex-action door
scraper We fasten it down by the
side of the lowest step in front of our
house, and wait until book canvass,
er comes along, which one is toler-
ably certain to do within fifteen or
twenty minutes, The canvOsscr
stops to scrape his boots, while he
thinks up some new and vigorous ex.
aggeratlon with which to impose on
us. As his foot touches the iron. 1.-TWO
clamps fly over his instep and holds
him fast, a steel claw suddenly shoots
up his leg and grabs his trousers; a
trap flies open in the pavement, and
the victim is hauled into a coal eel
lar, where we have an infuriated
Irisman engaged to mellow him and
flatten him out with a scop.sbovel.-
We allow the Irishman a royalty up
on the remains, and he seems to be
animated by an earnest enthusiasm
which promises rich results. If the
machine works well, we shall either
buy a graveyard, or found medical
college. In the meantime, persons
in want of bodies for dissection or
other purposes will please apply

How Bemis Put up n Window
Curtain.


Mrs. BOmis was engaged in tho
hopeless task Of putting up a window
curtain that had been pulled from It's
place. Mr.. Bemis stood near, his
face wreathed In a iiua expression Of
scorn. "There," ho finally snorted,
'you might as well get down, | nev-
or saw a woman that had any sense
anyhow" Perhaps youdbetter try
it, retorted Mrs, Bemis, with con.
siderable asperity, as she got down
from the chair. "Well, | bet won't
be four hours about it," retorted Mr..
Bemis, as he grabbed the offending
curtain and saluted into tho chair.
Don't stand on the cane soatl" scream
ed his wife, warningly. Mr. Bemis
spread his feet, and stretched his
arms up with the curtain. Which
end is which, ho inquired, cycling IL
glOomily. Don't ask me, responded
his wife; 4 don't know anything
about it.. Mr., Bemis looked Mt the
fixtures on the casing, and at The
curtain in his hands. Then he lifted
the:last named article and tried to
insert it in the former 1t didn't fit.
Mr.. Bemis said hang itl' Perhaps
you'd better turn it the other side
up suggested his wife. Mr.. Bemis
reversed it in silence. Still he could
not make lift. Gimme a chair that's
good for somothingl' he calculated
licrcely, and he jumpedtto tho floor
lie savagely pulled higher chair to
the window. You'd better not take
that, warned his wife; it whirls
round to easy Don't you fret re-
tOrted Mr., Bemis, as he climbed into
it. The chair wobbled painfully.
'Ketch hold and stiddy it,' sung out
Mr.. Bemis to his wife.
Mrs. Bemis grabbed the back of the
chair, and her husband stretched up
with the curtain, but with no better
result. lie gave the article vengc-
full twitch, which pulled the chair
from his wife's grasp. The chair
spun round suddenly, jerking Mr.
Bemis into the air and tying him in
u bow-knot. lie whirled rapidly
over and came down in window
garden, rooted through a wilderness
Ofplants, kicked out four panes Of
glass, and totally ruined the curtain.
