THE SNAKE EDITOR.

For full ten thousand years or moro
The Snake Departments been 4 bore;
It's editor and his good pen
Called down the wrath of God and men;
For him no prayers were ever sad,
Bat curses rained upon his head;
He snealed along the streets, forlorn,
His spirit broken, breeches torn.
He heard the children yell and boot,
And say he was DANCED galoot.
But now behold the man ofsnakes
When to the street himself he takes!
His head is high, his raiment fine,
The ladies smile on him divine.
And say, "Your stories are immense,
Our interest in them IS intense"
Men run mile his hand to shake,
And gayly ask him what he'll take
Which, gentle reader. you may bet,
Is the straightcst whiskey he can get.

A QUtN1NE SUBSTITUTE Nearly all
sufferers from chills are on the alert for
any remedy that will take the place Of
quinine. Qninine is Objectionable on ac-
count of taste and unpleasant SYMPTOMS
that follow its use, as well as the unccr-
tainty Of 4 permanent euro. Another Oh
lection to Quinine, is, that it is always
necessary to use some other medicine to
produce the proper effect upon the Sc
cretions. A remedy which in every way
combines all the above ptoprieties ard
that produces none of those unpleasant
SYMPTOMS is just now in demand by Il
chill suffering people. Such a remedy is
now offered as Days Agne Tonic, which
far surpasses any and all other articles
in the final cure Of ch:lls.

DOUBLE SUICIDE.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF TWO sPINSrER SISTERS.
CHICAGO ILL.,. July %, 1879.
distressing and mysterious double suicide oc
CURED last night at Hyde Park, southern suburb
of this city, the particulars of which only trans
pired carly this morning. Three maiden sisters.
named Elizabeth. Anna and Nina Trowbridge. aged
respectively fortythree. forty and thirty years. have
been living for many years in good style in that
town upon derived from estate left them
by their mother. Recently their father succeeded in
getting their entire property away and left them
penniless. When they became fully aware Of this
state of affairs they decided to die together and
spent Sunday and Monday in preparing tor death.
They nailed up the doors and windows. and the two
eldest sisters with most careful preparation drove
folding doors, adjusted small hempen cords about
their necks, and, kicking from beneath their feet
books piled ottomans and chairs. quietly stran-
gied to death. The younger sister. Nina, who is u
dwarf, remained i'll the meantime i'll upper cham
Der, and although the deed done about
o'clock Monday night. she first gave warning at
nine clock. and the bodies not cut down until
midnight. 1t with the greatest difficulty she
could be induced to tell her story and she told it in
so disconnected and rambling way that accuracy
is even now doubted. She Is in a state bordering
insanity. In her chamber was found knife OF
sharpness and slip OF paper on which was written.
1--WE must nail up the doors"
The three sisters have always been regarded 40
very erratic, and although nothing has been known
against their character they have been known to
hold noisy and disturbing midnight orgies that arc
regarded as evidence Of long standing insanity.
THE FATHER sLANDERkp.
Mr.. Trowbridge the father, who was severely
denounced by his daughter Nina the real cause OF
their nisfortunes IL said by those who know the
circumstances to have deserved such harsh
words. He has managed the property of his
daughters for them. and they have been well
and literally treated ut his hands. On
account u recent real estate transaction they be-
came imbucd with the idea that he was abusing his
trust and IL is believed that their already erratid
minds dweit this belief constantly that they
became insane the subject. They had monthly
