Beware of Alcoholic Bitters.

Thousands have been ruined for life
by drinking popular nostrums, the prin-
cipal ingredient of which was alcohol.
Such "bitters" are deceptive in their eff
fects; they cause intoxication and tenn
pOrary relief, while they foster the
drunkard's appetite. DR.. Kennedy's
'FavOrite Remedy" does not heat and in
flame the blood; it coOls and purifes it.
Better than this, even, it has cured many
a raving appetite for drink. 1t will do
you good, not evil, all the days of your
life. All Druggists sell it. DR.. David
Kennedy, Proprietor, ROndOut, N. Y.

We clip the following from the Troy,
NY. Times: Letters pour in daily,
sometimes by dozens, scores, and hun
dreds, to DR.. David Kennedy, of ROndout,
N.Y., in grateful acknowledgement of
the great benefits received from his
'FavOrite Remedy And they illustrate
the power of the medicine in some new,
and perhaps, hitherto INFESTED phase Of
operations. But it is when sufferer
comes miles to tell the story of his de-
liverence in person, to grasp the doctor
by the hand and greet him as true and
valued friend, that the interest in his
case deepens and multiplies."

Pleasant Letters.

They are sheets of sunshine. A Metho-
dist clergyman. of Hartford, Conn.,,
writes DR.. David Kennedy, of ROndOut,
N. Y, that "FavOrite Remedy" cured
him of Chronic Liver Disease and Indi-
gestion, from which he had suffered for
a long time. This was splendid, but
nothing more than anyone may expect
who uses this medicine. One Dollar a
bottle is small consideration when health
is In question. The clergyman says he
ia going to introduce DIR. Kennedy's
.'Favorite Remedy" among his people.
He can't do better.

Our President weighs 2l5, and our

Electric lighting is in successful oper-
alton on more than 60 steamers of the
Mississippi river and its tributaries.
The ROthschlds talk of coming to
America to place the Hungarian loan OF
3OOOOOOOO forms, about $l5O,0OO,OOO all
told.
The Denver Tribune don't believe
word of it. The idea Mr.. Christiancy.

it regards as preposterOus.
The President and Secretary of the In

Any American may gather an idea of
the pleasant state of affairs in Ireland
when he remembers that the island is
not quite so large as the state of Illinois;
that the English government keeps
about 10000 soldiers in it; that the pop

rings in barrel.

been in 945. 1t appeared at the time
of Christ's birth and thus gets the name.
When it came in 1871, it was so bright
that it was clearly visible at monday,
and faded away, assuming various hues
as it went.

At the same instant the glass

/ Next morning, however, cool
reflection taught him that he
might easily have deceived him

For two nights following, he Sc
GREETED himself in the church and
awaited her appearance, but his
watch was fruiiless. This caution
on her part fully convinced him
tia. he was dealing with human
being and not with an impalpable
| phantom.
On the fourth night Barclay
again secreted himself in the old
church. II was cold for The season
and he shivered ia his hiding
place despite his warm clothing.
Hour after hour passed away, and
he was beginning to fear that his
errand would again prove fruit
less, when a faint light In the body
of the church caught his eye. As
it rose higher and higher, he saw
that it proceeded from small
heap Of sticks collected upon the
stone floor. Crouching over tex
tending her fingers to the fame,
he beEeld the figure of the young
girl.
Pulling off his shoes, Barclay
crept up behind her, and before
she was aware of his presence, he
seized her in his strong grasp. ~

"Why should l ?" she cried
passionately. Ibid not my faith

had sworn TO be nay second father
seek nay life ?"
"Ah !" said Barclay with
start. "My conjecture was true,
then. He decoyed you 10 the riv-
er, then, after believing that you
were safely out Of his way, he left
your coat and hat under the bank
to give the impression that you
had committed suicide ?'
YES she answered, "but the
river was more merciful than he,
for ii cast me ashore alive, Sick
with horror, l cane here where
my father lay, to die upon his
grave. Now you know all. If
you are that mans emissary, may

returned Barclay. 81 am here to

She looked at him.
"You have q good face" she
said, Offering him her hand; 81

Then" said Barclay, "keep up
the character you have assumed
for one more day. Tomorrow

with witnesses. Play the organ
when you hear US enter. We can
safely leave him to accuse him

Il will do as you WISH" she re-
piled. "How can l thank you ?"
"By following my directions,
replied Barclay.
With few more words of a6-

| WAS to pO directly TO The landlord
