A Disabling Disease

No disease which does not confne a man to his
bed so completely units him for business as dys-
depsia. When the stomach is foul, the brain is
always muddy and confused, and as the cares and
anxieties of life are a sufficient burden for the
ergan of thought to bear, without being tor
mented by the miseries born of indigestion, it is
highly desirable for the brains sake, as well as
for the sake of every other portion of the system,
that the disordered stomach should be restored
with the utmost dispatch to healthy vigorous
condition. This object can always be accom-
plished by course of Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, the purest and best of vegetable specifics,
which evaeuates the morbid humors through the
bowels, rouses and tones the torpid stomach and
regulates the liver, imparts rmness to the nerves
and clears the sensorium of its mental cobwebs.
Persons subject to attacks of indigestion bilious
headache, irregularity of the bowls, sickness of
the stomach, or the blues should take the Bit
tiers twice day throughout the present season.

BOLD BEN BUTLER.
Vows that He'll Never, Ne, Never
Enter a Criminal Court Room
Again.

Vows that He'll Never, No, Never,
Enter a Criminal Court Room
Again.
The following story of Gen. Butler we
find in the Philadelphia Dag:
Gen. Benjamin f. Butler has declin-
ed to act as consul for Guiteau, not
withstanding the urgent appeals Of his
relatives. 1t is not generally known
that Gen. Butler some years ago made
a vow never to enter a criminal court
again as counsel for any prisoner under
criminal Indictment. The reason he
assigns for such action carries with i
quite history.
1t appears that during his second
term in congress one of his henchmen
and faithful friend-who was sheriff
of one of the counties in his congress
sional district, received Geographic
dispatch from the sheriff of an adjoin-
ing county, asking him to arrest a pris-
oner who had escaped from his custody
and was on board an incoming train.
On the arrival of the train in question
the culprit was arrested and the sheriff
locked him up pro tenn. in the rail-
road depot, from which he subsequent
ly escaped. Pursued by the sheriff,
the prisoner halted by the bank of a
creek, produced pistol, and threaten
ed his pursuer with death should he
advance one step further. The cour-
ageous sheriff, though unarmed, did
not hesitate in the discharge of his
duty, and met his death in conse-
quence. The man was hunted down
and in a short time safely lodged in
Jail. Then came the funeral of his
victim, at which Gen. Butler, next to
the widow and fatherless, acted IS
chief mourner "Some six months
after this" says Gen. Butler, 81 was in
the Criminal Court, when the prisoner
before mentioned was arranged for
trial. In answer to the presiding
Judge, he represented himself as being
without counsel, and requested that |
should be assigned to defend him, which
was granted. | pleaded all sorts of ex-
cuses, but in the state of Massachusetts
similar request from a prisoner on
trial for his life never passes unheeded,
and | was compelled to act as defender
of the very man who so cruelty depriv-
gu one Vi my DtSt lllSuuS vi MS hlO'
Once assigned" said he, 81 forgot
everything but my official oath as an
attorney, and succeeded so well for my
client that in the end he was convict
ed of minor degree of manslaughter,
entailing only few years incarcera-
ton in Jail. Then came the hue and
cry of my political enemies. This is
the man. they said, who escorted the
widow to the grave at the
funeral of his faithful henchman
weeps crocodile tears, and then defends
the assassin and assists him in defeat
ing the ends of Justice At the nexi
election" said Gen. Butler, 81 did not
get even one vote in that district
though heretofore they had been un-
animously cast in my interest. Car
you wonder at my registering a vow
never to enter criminal court again?

Why She Wants Her Marriage Amulled.

1t is seldom that a bill introduced
into the legislature has within it the
KEY to a romance, but such an one is
that presented by sssemblyman Farrar
of Onondaga, providing that the mar
riage of Daniel Walrath to Emma A.
Sawyer be declared null and void. The
story of the marriage which is thus
sought to be set aside is strange one.
Mrs. Walrath lived at Chittenango, and
she and the man to whom she is we'd
ded were schoolmates and playfellows.
AS they grew older, they kept company
with each other to some extent, al
though Mrs. Sawyer objected TO her
daughter seeing much of Walrath.
One evening he called upon the girl
when she was alone, and without any
preamble invited her to walk to Minis
ter Twins house to DO married. Mics
Sawyer demurred at first, but, pleased
with the romantic aspect of the affair,
at length consented, and the marriage
was solemnized few minutes after
wards. On the return from the min
ister's house Walrath related his plans
for the future to his wife, and when the
couple had reached the gate of the
brides home he babe her good-by,
after telling her that she had better not
say anything about the affair for
awhile, and that he would not be able
to see her again for few days, as he
was going to Syracuse. From that day
to this she has never seen her husband
nor heard from him directly. Walrath
was man of quiet, studious habits,
while his wi fa ia an attractive Int rPtir-
ing woman of twenty-one or twenty
two years of age, who now lives in
West Troy. The truthfulness of her
story can not be doubted. She can not
obtain full and complete divorce OF
the courts because of lack of ground,
on which to base an action, and now
appeals to the legislature.-Albamy
argus.

/ the Coates House. but gave no enter

at the Coates House, but gave no enter
tainment. about 4 o'clock one after.
noon he received card with the name
]. Howard written upon it, and the
visitor being requested to step up tC
the room turned out to be the same
individual who met Mr.. Brown in the
Cameron opera house. In responce to
few questions. Mr. Howard explained
that he had read that the mind reader
had had an interview with the Younger
brothers a. Saltwater, Minnesota, and
he wanted to know what the result of
the talk with the three desporadoes
had been. Mr. Brown exclaimed that
he had spoken to Bob and Jim Younger
in the paint department, in the presence
of his wife and the Jail officers, and
afterward saw Cole in his cell, where
the elder brother was obliged TO remain
on account of sickness. Howard asked
what the subject of the conversation
had been, and the answer was made
that the boys spoke of their various
exploits, and Cole, in discussing
the bank ROBBERY at Mortified, de-
nounced the killing of Hayward, the
cashier, and gave an idea of the man
ner in which he would have managed
the robbery had he been in charge of
the expedition; but Jesse James was
the leader, and dictated the conditions
of the exploit, Mr.. Brown said further
that he had questioned Cole Younger
as to the person VINO shot Hayward
Cole had ansW cred that he. Of course,
knew the party who done the killing,
but would not reveal anything about it;
his (Brown's) peculiar faculty, how
ever, enabled him to read Coles mind,
and saw at once that Jesse James was
the name uppermost in his thoughts.
Howard put few more questions, and
retained his calmness while they were
being answered and then informed Mr..
Brown that if he could do ali he said he
HAD BETTER SKIP OUT,
as he was friend of the James boys
and had an idea that Brown was con-
nected with Pinkerton or some other
detective association in an attempt TO
ferret out the train robbers. Howard
was very determined in his language,
seemed to mean exctly what he said
without betraying the least agitation,
and when Mr.. Brown assured him that
he was going to leave for the East in
day or two, and did not know a
solitary detective in the land and had
no connection with any of them, How
ard said that was all right, and was
| likewise the best thing the mind reader
could do. He then sought to put Mr.
Brown through test of mind reading,
but the latter declined to do anything,
and his strange guest departed Since
the killing of the outlaw, Mr.. Brown
has seen several of his photographs,
and is now confident that the stranger
who shook hands with him on the stage
of the Cameron opera house, and after.
wards visited him 10 Kansas City, was
none other than Mr.. Jesse James, then
the most prominent train robber in the
country, now the owner of pair o.
wings which he is gently Tapping il
the celestial atmosphere, if all that Mrs
Samuels has said about his position in
the hereafter be true.

EIGHT carrier-pigeons belonging
John Abel, of Baltimore, were turned
loose from the dome of the capitol in
Washington last Monday noon. The
pigeons were at first somewhat con-
fused, owing to the haziness of the
weather, and made long sweeping
circle around the capitol to get the
bearings, but in short time they took
the right direction. 1t was thought
that they would reach their destination
in an hour, but Mr.. Abel had seen moth

Mrs. MARIA M. MILLER lately sued
the estate of Thomas Mckenzie, If
New York, to recover the value of a
note for $1,000, given by the deceased
for services rendered during his life.
He was much given to drink, and at
one time had been confined in an
asylum. This experience had created
horror in him that like fate would
befall him again, and he was in the
habit of taking refuge in Mrs. Miller's
house whenever he felt his failing COM
ing over him. The evidence on her
behalf was to the effect that she re-
ceived and treated him with evey care
and attention. She was never requited
in his lifetime, but month before his
death, while at her house recovering
from one of his drinking spells, he
gave her the note for $1,000 as COM
pensation. A verdict Tor $1,000 was
rendered.

appears that the tables won in that
time the sum of 12,OO0,O 900 frances. The
expenses for the same year were
100000, to be divided among the share
holders. Large as the sum is, it is
declared by The London World to be
mere child's play compared with
money transactions in some of the

to be the richest city of its size in the
world. If its wealth were equally di-

$50 who are worth 100000 and up

gregate banking capital is estimated
at $4,000, 900, 900, more than one-fourth
