A SURPRISED PHYsICIAN-A DYING
PATIENT RECEIVERS THROUGH THE In
TERPosITIoN OF A HUMBLE GERMAN
Some weeks ago DR.. c., a very
reputable and widely-known physi-
clan, living on C street, was call
ed to attend a very complicated case
of rheumatism. Upon arriving at the
house he found a man, about forty
years of age, lying in a Frustrated
and serious condition, with his whole
frame dangerously affected with the
painful disease. He prescribed for
the patient, but the man continued
to grow worse, and on Sunday even
ing he was found to be in a very
alarming condition. The knees and
elbows and larger joints were greatly
iutiamed, and could not be moved.
It was only with extreme difficulty
that the patient could be turned in
bed, with the aid of three or four
persons. The weight of the clothing
was so oppressive that means had to
be adopted to keep it from the pa
ttent . UOuy.
The doctor saw that his assistance
would be OF no avail, and left the
house, the members Of the family fol-
lowing him to the door, weeping. AT
this critical hour, a neighbor, q poor
and humble shoemaker, appeared 10
the grief-smitten ones as a saving an
gel. He had heard of the despair OF
the family, and now asked them to
try his remedy, and accordingly
brought forth a bottle of st. Jacobs
Oil. As a drowning man will catch
at straws, so the poor wife appilea
this remedy she had no hope, but
would try anything, as a matter OF
duty. The first application eased the
patient very much; after a fey hours
they used it again, and, wonder OF
wonders, the pain vanished. entirely.
! Every subsequent application improY-
ed the sufferer, and in two days ne
was well and out. When the doctor
called q few days afler. be q sur
prised ; for, instead ofa Corpse ne
! found 4 new-made man.--lEx.

A Joke On Colonel SwitzEer.

Col. Switzler, of the Columbia
Statesman, is a very enterprising
man, never letting an opportunity pass
to try and stir the people of Colum-
bla and put some life into them. He
tells them to look out or Mexico will
kick them to death as we walk over
them in giant steps forward, &c.
Last week, addressing an immigra-
ton meeting in that town, he very en-
Enthusiastically pointed to Mexico as a
live, enterprising town, worthy OF
being taken as an example of what
live men could do when they tried.
Why" he said, ''our sons and
daughters will be going to Mexico
the next thing we know" We are
compelled to admit that he seemed to
deplore such a calamity, and if we
were in the place of a young fellow
in Mexico we should at once get solid
with the Colonel, or he may not let
his son 60 come to Mexico. He
believes in immigration, not emigra-
ton,

A Card.

We, the undersigned, have this
day formed a co-partnership under
the style and name of Gary 6 Mitch
ell, for the purpose of doing a boot
and shoe business at the old stand of
Rutledge & Treloar, north side of the
public square, better known now as
the Green Front. We propose to do
a live and pushing business. Our
facilities for buying goods are such
as will give us the decided advantage
over all competition and at all times
will give our customers the advan-
tage of rock=bottom prices. MIR. w,
w. Rutledge will be with us and be
pleased to see his old friends and
customers. We are now open with
an entire new stock which we will
offer at q small advance upon cost.
Our friends and the public generally
are cordially invited to call and see
our goods and prices before buying.

THE
Journalism Degraded.

During the past few years, to our
certain knowledge, and to the bitter
experience of many of the people OF
Audrain county, several Unworthy,
unedacated and irresponsible men,
who could not make a living at any
other business, have embarked in
journalism, only to lower the standard
of the "art preseryative." The
grossest imposition we've had the
pleasure of referring to, came under
our observation yesterday. 1t was a
poorly composed, and a worse printed,
document purpofting to mean that
Patterson 6 Reddington of this city,
pledged themselves to issue in the
future $50 copies of the Herald week.
ly, whether they had subscribers or
not. We refer to this matter because
it is a disgrace to journalism, and
liable to fool some one who knows
nothing about it, In the first place,
we don't think Patterson & Redding-
ton have a fortune which they can
throw away in such a liberal manner;
in fact, we don't think they have any
idea of issuing $50 copies q week.
Why, they talk as if $50 copies a
week were a big thing! The smallest
papers in the smallest towns beat that
weekly-the Centralia Guard, for in
stance. Anyone giving that paper
advertisements with the expectation
that they will issue $50 q week, may
feel happy If they issue $50 a year.
Why? Because any man, or set of
men, that will try and break down a
legitimate business, will do anything.
They want to make a ''horse bill' out
of their paper, and force it on to the
people for nothing, when it is dear at
that. We like to have competition,
but do and will show up all such
schemes as this which Patterson &
Reddlngton are trying TO impose on
the people. If this matter needs re-
ferring to again, we shall do so, and
with variations.

Obituary.

John Henry Brown, well-known
among his many friends as Harry
Brown, died at the Cromwell House
ID this city last Sunday, from injuries
received in the railroad wreck-a re-
port of which can be found in this
issue OF tae LEDGER.
DR.. John =. Brooks preached
Ilarry's funeral sermon to a crowded
house at the Christian Church Tues
day afternoon. The Doctor deliver
cd one of the finest sermons we ever
heard him preach.
The remains were followed to the
grave by hundreds Of friends and
were inferred 10 the new cemetery.
The pail bearers were, j. A. Clan
don, Richard Collard, Jos. Murray,
Jimmie Graham, Everett Walker and
r. Perrigo.
Harry was loved and respected by
all who knew him. He had been
agent for the express company many
years and was n of their most trus-
ty men,. Marrying into one of our
most prominent families, he seemed
to be one of US. His parents reside
in st. Clair county, Mo.
On the 9TH Of November, 1878,
Harry married Miss Emma Clark,
one of MeXico's fairest and most
loveable girls. On the 18th of March,
1879, she died. Although Harry did
not feel as if he had much left to live
for, still, like mortal man, ''liyed to
de-" only a year later. Married
before the orange blossoms fade the
bride dies-before the disconsolate
groom leaves off his mourning he too
is laid in the Gust beside his dear de-
parted.
They we're separated cruelty but
for only a short time. Mr.. and Mrs.
Brown, Harry's parents, attended
the funeral, and together with Judge
J. z. Clark and family, have the
heartfelt sympathy of friends and the
whole of Mexico, in this their be-
reaYemcnt.

death" We should all so live that

short our notice, we will be ready to

The Post-Dispatch, an evening pa

on the morning dailies of thst city.
1t appears that the morning papers
had been drawing on the P-D. fol-
their news, rs the Intetigencer did
and does, on the LEDGER. The
P.-D. published a long article last
Week about Cooper & Baily's circus
being thrown off tie track IN Illinois
and that the wild beasts were all
loose, and especially the lions were
treating human life very lightly. The
trap did not work to perfection. Re-
porters from the morning papers were
sent over in Illinois and the joke was
found out. The P.-D. was not as
successful as the LEDGER. 1t had to
hoax its readers as we'll as the othel
! papers, The LEHGER fooled the In,
teItgehcer by printing the areicie
about Farewell" being dragged tt

that office. "'They don't take o.
