most lnveteratc FORM This medicine is an
especial boon to the emigrant population Of
the far West, where fevers of malaral type
are particularly prevalent, but the recogni
ton OF its merits is so far from being limited
that it is known and appraised at its true
value throughout the length and breadth of
America Travellers by land and sea, miners
and sojourners in unhealthy localities, esteem
it highly, and are its most constant pur-
chascrs, snd III many a ulral household far
and wide it is the chosen family specific.
The professional Endorsement which has been
accorded by leading medical men in various
parts of the country to DR.. VIM. Halls Balsam
for the Lungs, is sufficient guaranty Of its ef-
fcacy in eradicating diseases of the breathing
organs. These gentlemen have thoroughly
tested the remedy, and their concurrent testi-
mony is to the effect that it is positive speci-
6c for lung, bronchial and throat affections of
every description, and most reliable preven-
tive of that dreaded scourge, consumption

not atflict her much that Mrs: Beardsley
was one of the eractive sisters, because
she was Blank; if she was Banker,
Mrs. Morris would have been as troubled

As it was she called on her after
awhile but her time was so taken up

Bowl.

UPON each of the tables ranging
along the walls in Hunts dining-room
there sits sugar-bowl. 1t is placed
upon the end of the table Iemotest from
the wall, and when waiter takes an
order he shoves the bowl across the
table to the other end. This signifies
that customer occupying seat at
that particular table has given his or
der, and by this simple plan the other
walters are kept informed as to who is
waited upon and who is not. One day
an honest farmer, who was innocent of
the tricks of city restaurants, entered
the place, took seat, and, pulling the
sugar-bowl on his table back toward the
wall, proceeded to help himself to q
pinch. He was not noticed by any of
the busy walters who were hurrying
back and forth filing orders and clear

An Adirondack Picture.

THERE is no trail through Hunters
Pass, which, as 1 have intimated, is the
least frequented portion of this wilder
ness. Yet we were surprised to find a
well-beaten path considerable portion
of the way and wherever path is pos
sible. 1t was not mere deer runway
these are found everywhere in the
mountains. 1t is trodden by other and
larger animals, and is no doubt the
highway of beasts. 1t bears marks of
having been so for long period, and
probably a period long ago. Large ami
mails are not common in these woods
now, and you seldom meet anything
fiercer than the timid deer and the gem
tie bear. But in days gone by Hunters
Pass was the highway of the whole
caravan of animals who were continual

aimless, roaming way that beasts have.

Basin. think can see now the pro-
cession of them between the heights of
Dix and Nipple Top; the elk and the
moose stumbling along, cropping the
twigs; the heavy bear lounging along
with his exploring nose; the fri ghtened
deer trembling at every twig that
snapped beneath his little hoofs, intent
on the lily-pads of the pond; the rae
coon and the hedgehog, siding along;
and the velvet-footed panther, indiffer-
ent and constituencies, seeming the
path with curious glow in his eye, or
crouching in an overhanging tree ready
to drop into the procession at the right
moment. Night and day, year after
year, see them going by, watched by
the red fox and the comfortably-clad
sable and grinned at by the black cat
the innocent, the vicious, the timid and
the savage, the shy and the bold, the
chattering slanderer and the screaming
prowler, the Industrious and the peace
full, the tree-top critic and the crawling
biter-just as it is elsewhere. It makes
me blush for my species when think
of it. This charming society is nearly
extinct now; of the larger animals there
only remain the bear, who minds his
own business more thoroughly than any
person know, and the deer, who would
like to be friendly with men, but whose
winning face and gentle ways are no
protection from the savageness of man,
and who is treated with the same un-
plying destruction as the snarling cata-
monnt. have read in history that the
amiable natives of Hispaniola Jared no
better at the hands of the brutal Span
iards than the fierce and warlike Caribs.

ing away dishes. The old fellow re-
manned in his seat for fifteen minutes,
patiently expecting some one to offer to
take his order but, no one appearing
to see him, he got mad at the apparent
neglect and tried to hail three or four
passing walters, who failed to grasp
the situation. After half dozen ights,
as he thought, the honest farmer
stretched forth his mighty paw and
gathered waiter by the nape of the
neck. Squar6ly imprisoning the startled
hash collector, the yeoman addressed
him thus

The young man, as soon as released.
started to fill the commission of the
muscular Granger, and the customer
took his seat once more, but this time
further away from the wall. Reaching
back, he pulled the sugar-bowl to the
outer end OF the table and dug out an
other handful to stay his hunger until
the big meal should arrive. The sugar
bowl was now on the end of the table
which signified that the old farmer was
not waited upon, and in an instant a
young fellow stepped up to him and
asked what he would have.

piled the man from the country.
The waiter pushed the sugar-bowl to
the rear and walked off. The farmer
again pulled the bowl out and went ex.
ploring it. Another waiter, spying the
bowl on the outer end of the table,
tackled the rural rooster, who impa,
tiently answered that he had no use fo1
him. This waiter gently propelled the
sugar-bowl to the wall, and bounced
away about his business. BY this time
the countryman was thoroughly aroused

savagely drew it to the front, but had
no sooner done so than he was ap

PAYNE, Commanding.
RAwLINs, Wyo. T., October 1.
The following particulars are obtained
from the courier who brought the dis
patches from Captain Payne after the
fight:
Major Thornburgh's expedition
against the hostile Ute Indians, when
within seventy miles of the Agency,
halted for the night on the Goth inst,
and the Major sent Grafton Lowry, one
of his scouts, to the Agency to commu-
nicate with Agent Meeker, and see how
matters stood. He found the utmost
excitement and confusion prevailing.
The Indians had sent all their old men,
women and children south toward the
Blue River. The warriors were deco
rated and painted in the usual war
style. They were about to murder
Mr.. Meeker, but Mr.. Lowry prevailed
on them not to commit the deed.
Mr.. Meeker told Lowry that he
attempted to leave the Agency with
his family, but was prevented by the
Indians; that they, the Indians, signi-
fed their readiness for war, and seemed
anxious for the approach of the troops.
They then made another move to Kill
Meeker and fire the buildings, but were
a second time prevailed upon to desist.
Lowry now attempted to return to the
command, but was informed, that he
must remain; but, after giving them a
number of assurances of his peaceable
mission, he was allowed to depart, but
was accompanied by about thirty war
