The news from America travels slow

but the American inhabitants. most 81
whom have recently removed there. are
keen to hear all the political develop
ments from home. They were particu.
larry interested in the outcome of the
Republican Presidential Convention at
Chicago. AZ the latest papers they re-
ceived seemed to indicate warm con-
test between the eminent Republicans,
with Grant leading.
II happened that ship left San Fran
cisco for Alaska severa, days after the
nomination had been made. and. after
several months sailing, entered Sitka
Bay. The little town was aroused, and
every American in the place. boiling
over with curiosity. rushed down to the
pier to hear the news. A boat put of.
and in few minutes the skipper, q
blunt and honest old tar. with all his
heart in his ship. came ashore. His

No sooner had his foot touched the
sand than the anxious citizens were
upon him. shaking his hands and inquir-
ing who was nominated at Chicago.

old Skipper in tones Of surprise.
"For President-by the Republic

"Oh, yes. yesr' responded the tar,

the old fellow, as his countenance dark

"Lemme see. now; / heard his name:

scratched his head. while the crowd
hung breahless for this word. heard

The honest tar had evidently given

pired.

Gil that It was not Grant. because the
skipper would have remembered him.

HUMAN ILLS.
How They may be Safely Encountered
An Agreeable Dietettc and
Medicinal Drink.

So long as there are ills to which flesh is heir,
and the cares and labors of life breed disease,
so long will ii be necessary to use medicine
and counteract the evils produced and main
tain the health of the human family. Many
kinds OF medicines are being frequently offered
to the public for one special disease and anoth-
er, and II the truth were known, 1t would doubt
less be found that in majority of cases these
nostrums have done far more harm than good
Indeed, one Of the greatest evils OF the present
day j. the existence OF quack compounds which
contain ingredients inimical to health, and the
greatest care, therefore, should be taken by in
valids in using many unknown drugs which
can not be taken with impunity, no matter
what may be alleged TO the contrary Now,

NABOE WHISKY

Is one OF the best medical preparations known,
and is highly recommended by the faculty for
all cases OF nervousness, weakness, debility
dyspepsia, indigestion, etc Its popularity
throughout the Eastern States has been great
and it comes to the Pacific Coast indorsed by
the certificates of DR.. 5. Dana Hayes, State AS
sayer OF Massachusetts, and DIR. III. c. Louder
back, OF St. Louis, Missouri. These certificates
are most direct in their statements, averring
that Nabob Whisky is, without exception, the
purest article that can be used either medci
nally or for family purposes. ltis particularly
efficacious in cases of Indigestion and nervous
affections and can be used with the utmost
confidence.
The analysis shows that this whisky is of
standard alcoholic strength, and free from ad
ded fiavoring oils, acids, metals, or other dele
terious substances. DR.. Hayes further says it
is pure, OF superior quality, and suitable for
dietetic and medicinal purposes. Such recon-
mendations are the strongest that can be fur
nished and as there are thousands of letters
testifying to the merits Of this whisky as fam
ily remedy and tonic, no further proof OF its
excellence need be given. 1t is sold by all
druggists and grocers.

A QUEER STORY.
The Way Jim Keene's Washcrwoman
Treated Him.

"The fact is" said Jim Keene, the
great New York rival of Jay Gould, as
he relaxed his usual taciturnty under
the genial influence of one of Sam
Wards dinners the other day, "the
fact is, that no matter how clever and
thorough mans system OF stock oper-
ating may be, there is always occurring
some little unforeseen and apparently
insignificant circumstance that is for
ever knocking the best laid plans into
a cooked hat
"As how -
"Well, for instance, about year ago
| was doing a good deal in Lake Shore,
and counted on making big cleanup.
] discovered, however, that some hidden
influence in the market was always
against me. 1t didn't exactly defeat
my plans, but it lessened the profits.

who was kept informed as to my move
rnents in time to make me pay for his
knowledge" "

in advance, and, besides, used as now
half dozen brokers, and always gave
cross and dummy orders in plenty.
One day, while l was standing at the
window of my uptown place, cogi-
tating over this state of affairs, an ele
CANT private coupe drove past and
stopped just around the corner from
my door. 1t contained richly-dressed
lady and a ragged little girl. The latter
got out, rang my basement bell and was
admitted. | sent for my man servant
and inquired who the girl might be. p"
She comes for the wash, sir" he
said.
"Does she generally come in a coupe:"
/ inquired.
"Why, no SIR" said my man, very
much surprised "her mother, the
washerwoman, is very poor.
"Just then my own carriage drove
around for me, and as it passed the
other l could see the lady eagerly sort
ing the soiled clothes in her lap. This
excited my curiosity, so | had my driver
follow along behind. Pretty soon the
coupe stopped, and the dirty little girl
got out with the bundle and went into
a brown stone front OH Twenty-ninth
street The coupe then kept straight
on down to Wall street, and stopped in
front of brokers' Office, where the
lady alighted with my entire lot of
soiled shirt-cuffs in her hand"
