Helmbold's Medicinal Prepara-
tiOnS.

Helmbold's various medicinal prepa-
rations have for the last twenty or
more years occupied prominent place
on the shelves of every respectable
druggist and physician in the land.
The skill displayed in their preparation.
the invariable promptness and efficien-
cY of their action, the absence of nau-
seous and disgusting taste or odor, and
the attractive manner in which they
are put up, have made them universal
fav0rites. Especially is this the case
with Relmbold's Buchu, a medicine
which has become indispensable in the
treatment of a large and troublesome
class of diseases, particularly thJse
which affect the digestive and urinary
organs. AS diuletic, it is invaluable
and the great advantage it possesses
over other preparations is the absolute
purity of the ingredients, and the uni
formity of strength. Parties purcba-
sing should be careful to see that
Helmbold's proprietary stamp is affixed
to each bottle.

A CAMP MEETING BROKEN UP.-
Upper Sandusky, o., Sept. 10. The
Sanctificationists camp meeting that
has been in session here for the past
eight days, broke up tonight in dis
graceful row. The whole trouble arose
from the action of one of the preachers
named Ellis OH the last Sabbath. He
walked up to number of persons on
the grounds that were smoking, delib-
eIately jefked the cigars from their
mouths, trampled the tobacco beneath
his feet, aud abused the smokers tor u.s.
ing the weed. Numerous threats have
been made by the insulted parties that
the offender would be treated to a coat
Of tar and feathers. Tonight, about
8 9o'clock 100 men marched to the Fair
grounds broke up the meeting by their
yells, and demanded Ellis. Numerous
unsuccessful attempts were made by
the police to quell the riot, and finally
call was made by some of the more
peaceable citizens present to take
charge Of Ellis and see that he be es-
corted to his sleeping apartments un-
molested. Ellis was saved bat the
camp meeting was broken up.

A Dyspeptic's Dinner.

There came to the dinner-table at the
Lawrence house the other day two stran-
gers, one lean and hungry looking
customer, the other q decent appearing
young fellow. AS they reached the
table the older man clutched frantically
at the bill of fare and remarked as fol-
lows:
"Let's see what they got. You know
1 can't eat everything. Been nearly
dead for ten weeks with dyspepsia. All,
'oyster SOUP guess that won't hurt
me-" To waiter" Bring me some
oyster soup and, let's see, boiled white
fish, yes, I'll have some o. that"
The soup and the fish were rapidly
eaten. "Now, let's see what else
they've got; you know can't eat every.
thing. Roast turkey that ought not
to hurt me. I'll have some O. that.
Roast beef yes, I'll have some O.
that. Chicken potpie, yes, that's easi-
ly digested. I'll have some. Let's
see, can't eat everything; I'll take a
bit of the boiled ham, some macaroni,
and ali, some chicken livers and vegeta-
bles."
The waiter had been taking the order
and the man with the weak stomach
reached this way for crackers, that way
for butter, here took piece of bread,
there pickle and stalk of celery, and
frequently remarking that he couldn't
eat everything, stayed his stomach un-
til his dinner was brought. He looked
it over, sent the waiter back for some
roast veal and another onion, remarking
that his stomach was weak, he had been
suffering terribly from dyspepsia, and
couldn't eat everything, but at last got
to work and cleared the dishes.
The matter of dessert troubled him
some because his stomach wts so weak,
but he finally ordered mince pie, plum
pudding and ice cream, with a cup of
coffee.
They were brought and devoured, and
then he called the waiter and made her
confidential communication that he
had been sick with the dyspepsia, that
his stomach was weak, he couldn't eat
everything, and would she bring him a
bowl of milk?
The milk was brought; he crumbled
some bread therein, and, as his younger
companion had departed, the man with
the weak stomach remarked to the gen.
tleman across the table from him that it
was darned rough to have to come down
to bread and milk, but he had been sick,
he couldn't eat everything and had to
be careful
And now the landlord is anxions for
that man to come around when he is
well. He needn't come but once.

This wouldn't be so bad, but then it

even stand that, but when it reaches out

collared reunion of all the wasps he
ever knew when he was fourteen years
old. This is what attracts attention to
the bug.

corresponds in size, and the collection
altogether, has an excellent effect.

Ms, SteMart's Money.

A New York correspondent says Ru-
NOR has it that Mrs. Alexander Il. Stew
art has decided to dispose of her money
while she is living, and to do it in
person. This resolution being known,
has opened Pandora's box. We have
at least one thousand persons in this city
who have little schemes Of their own for
benefting the race. They are sure if
Mrs. Stewart would only know what
they were about, and look into their
little schemes, she wouldn't hesitate a
moment to help them along. All the
avenues of her home have to be guarded.
Her steps are tracked everywhere, even
on her way to church. Mrs. Oommo-
dore Vanderbilt was annoyed in the
same manner. When she married the
Commodore she had no more money
than was absolutely essential to her
comfort. She felt keenly the RESPONSE
bility of being the custodian of money,
and knew hardly when to give and when
to withhold. She was run down day and
night by applications, and spoke often
to her friends of the impositions she
had practiced upon her, and the great
difficulty she had in discriminating.
