GREATEST REMEDY KNOWN.

DIR. Kings New Discovery for Con-
sumption is certainly the greatest medi-
cal remedy ever placed within the reach
of suffering humanity. Thousands of
once hopeless sufferers, now loudly pro-
claim their praise for this wonderful Dis
covery to which they owe their lives.
Not only does it positively cure Con-
sumption, but Coughs, Colds, Asthma,
Bronchitis, Hay Fever, Hoarseness and
all affections of the Throat, Chest and
Lungs yield, at once to its wonderful
curative powers, as If By magic. We do
not ask you to buy a large bottle until
You know what you are getting. We
therefore earnestly request that you call
on your druggist and get trial bottle
for ten cents, which will convince the
most skeptical of its wonderful merits,
and show you what regular one dollar
size bottle will do. For sale by f. G.
Buerstatte.

ioyfully the young girl accepted her re-
lease from the confinement Of the sick
chamber, and lifting mp her pretty rosy
mouth to her father for a kiss, she said
afectionately:
"Dear, good papa, if it is not too
much, [ would like to go and stay at
Bosie's. till teatime."
Certainly, my pet" answered Mr..
Allen, with almost unseemly haste to be
rid Of her. "Your poor uncle is very
low, and if-if anything-well, if the
worst should come, he would much rath-
er have me by him.
Another kiss, and Annie took herself
away, and her father returned to the sick
room, where the irregular breathing OF
the sick man, and the dim light, gave a
sepulchral gloom to the scene.

Mrs. Ellen Ryan, of Ridgeway. died
recently III her first confinement. She
had been married but year when her
babe was born dead, and buried. A
short time after the mother, to all ap-
pearaDce died also; she was straightened
out and the mourners were busy making
preparations for arraying the corpse in
the babiliments of the grave, when il
half an hour after her death or supposed
death, to the CONSERVATION Of all, she
opened her eyes, and in q loud clear
tone, called for her husband. He came,
when she told him she had been in an
other world-to heaven; that she had
passed through dark valley to get there
and had recognized there her mother
(who had been dead for some time) and
her babe; and described in glowing Ian
guage the place as being exceedingly
beautiful, and Chat at half past twelve
she would depart again, and wished TO
be buried in her bridal clothes, and that
her babe should be taken up, dressed in
its best clothes, aud laid on her arm,
with her bridal veil thrown over their
faces. at halfpast twelve. precisely,
she died, and all her directions were im-
plicitly followed.
The above account was related by two
different people from Ridgeway to friends

tears, attested her sincerity in the mar

WHY HE DIDN'T PLAY.

In the fall of CD the -th Ohio Vol
Infantry were "eireling" aroung through
Maryland, and the orders were very
strict against foraging. Consequently,
the boys who would forage anyway were
often put TO their wits to get the ''neces-
| saries' into camp without detection.
One afternoon the band went out, as
usual, to practice in the woods near the
camp. y nice, fat shoote in his peram-
5ulations after acorns and other .'shack'
wandered near where the boys were
playing, the temptation was too strong
The fife and drum were hushed, and q
well directed shot from Dicks navy
laid porlly low, and he was soon dressed
and ready for transportation. It was
nearly time for dress parade, and how to
set the animal into camp was a question,
Suddenly an idea struck Dick, our fife
major, and was soon put into execution.
The base drum was uncorded and the
carcass deposited therein. The drum
head was replaced, and the band took up
the line of march for camp. The regi-
ment was just forming for dress parade,
and the baud had to go Immediately on
the parade ground. Soon came the
order, ''troop beat off y and up the line

''Then why in the ID don't you go to

Colonel got porksteak for supper.

THE SEA SERPENT IN FOX RIVER.

We get very indefinite particulars of
the appearance of what is doubtless q
veritable sea serpent, which made its ap-
pearance off Jones Point, in the river
about three miles above Green Bay, aud
two below Depere, on Saturday of last
week. From the very vague description
we get of il, we judge that the parties
who profess to have seen it were not
wholly capable for judging distances and
measurements, as they variously estimate
its length at from ten to fifty feet, and
its size at that of barrel or a saw log.
Our informant, who seems to have been
the only one present in full possession of
his faculties, estimates its length at one
hundred feet, and when it was suggested
that it might have been an eel, he replied
with most indignant look, EEL 1t was
the Devil himselfl' Before another is
sue, doubtless we shall get intelligence
of its having been seen olseghere.-

HE'S 4 FRAUD.

While tie amiable idiocy tha prevailed
in congress during the recon struction
days was at its height the nigger was
enfraachised. He was invested with the
ballot Oh the petty theory that he was a
man and q brother, with an infusion of
sand IN his make up. It was given him
on the school girl notion that affection
for the party that gave him freedom
would make him its perpetual instrument.
But the niger is less serviceable to the
republican party as voter than he was
as slave. He neds coddling-too much
protection. He can only vote the re-
publican ticket when surrounded by a
Gordon of republican bayonets. There
is no grit in him. There is more voting
energy and party strength in q dozen
raw Irishmen than in thousand we'll
fed niggers. There is not an ounce of
stalwartism III ton Of nigger. The
more niger the less strength. AS a
slave, the picturesque misery of the Mig
ger was an unfailing armory of party
weapons-as q freeman there is no ro-
nance in him cowardice is not romantic
Nj over the south he is throwing his
ballot for rebels and traitors, when he
votes at all. He is too cowardly to vote
his convictions, or too stupid to have

favorite of the princess Matilda, his

candidate, a far better one than poor
Prince Louis, whom she, in common
with many other ladies of her age,

Judge Hilton is excessively disliked in
New York. so very much, indeed, that it
would be hard for him to be Judged i'm
partially by the public. He has never
been considered a man Of ability, and
his manners are as unfortunate, though
in different way, as those of the offend

body that Stewart should have formed so
high an opinion OF him and it was gen
orally believed that his Judgment bad

lation of him. Hilton did seem to court
him assiduouslY, and to serve him often

acquaintances say, is of very common
calibre, and owes everything that he is
and has to the dead millionaire.

A dispatch from Cape Town says the
question whether Cetewayo will surren-
der or not is of little importance, as in
the event OF his proving stubborn the
British can place his brother, Oham,
who surrendered some time ago, in pos
session OF the lower and far more fertile
part of Zululand, and, by assuring Oham
some little support at the commencement
of his reign, establish complete bull
wark between Cetewayo and the British
colonies. The continuation of war would
be an arduous and fruitless task, as be
yond Ulundi the country is a wilderness
where the difficulties of transportation
would exceed anything yet experienced.
The official return Of the British losses
does not include those among the native
contingent. The Zulus were compelled
to pause by the heavy FIRE, when they
arrived within sixty yards of the British
square. Eye witnesses differ greatly as
to the persistency with which the Zulus
pressed the attack. This probably arises
from the various positions from which
they witnessed it. The most circumstan-
tial narrative shows that the Zulus came
with magnificent rush in dense masses
on the rear of the square, and seemed
determined to get to close quarters.
Their attack on the left flank was not
nearly SO determined, as that was pro
tected by Gatling gun, which the Zulus
greatly dread. The estimates of the
Zulu losses vary so greatly as to show
that they are pure guessing. The high
est is 1900. The dead are lying thickly
all around the square.
