PLAIN
TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation of
life, i; circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
BROWNS IRON BITTERs will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part Of the system, and it willie
net blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi-
lively NOT injurious.

A young and enthusiastic prospector
returned to the city recently from Wood
river looking bronzed and weather-beat-
en-. He hadn't proceeded far on his way
home before meeting his sweetheart
who was going to the depot to meet him.
"Why, George, you look just like an
old smoked ham, we're the endeering
words that greeted him. George bad
been living on ham for the last two
months, and when his girl referred to
that article he didn't know but what
there was something hoggish looking
about him.
Nothing mean or hoggish about me,
Jane: bet your bangs on that Fonnd a
mine up in Wood river and named it
Jane after you"
fWhat are you giving me, dear
George? What do you take me for?''
"Fact, Jane; named it after you.
"How jealous that'll make the other
girls in the Fifteenth Ward! Won't
their bangs curl down their for'ead?
Won't the green-eyed monster rankle IN
their bosarums though? Oh, you're so
nice, George And Jane laughed all
Overland insisted on carrying his blank
cts and the grip sack.
''Fhat's all right, Jane, carry this over
coat, too
'.How did you come to name the mine
after me, you too-too tootsy Georgie?'
because it didn't amount to anything
Nothing in it, Jane"
When the grip sack came down on his
head George thought a snow-slide had
struck him, and he swears he will never
name another mine after Salt Lake
girl-lSalt Lake Paper.

A WON ans Hair.

The Countess of Suffolk had NJ arried
Mr.. Howard, and they were both so poor
that they took resolution of going to
Hanover, before the death of Queen
Anna. in order to pay their court to the
future royal family. Such was their
poverty that having some friends to din
ner, aud being disappointed of full re-
mittance, the Countess was forced to
sell her hair to furnish the entertain
ment. Long wigs were then in fashion,
and the Countess HAIR being long, fine
and fair, produced her e20. The Count
ess' hair. however. appears to have been
exceeded in value SbEthat of an
Oxfordshire lass, q ofsAem we
find the following story re-
corded in the Protestant Mercury for
July 10, 100: "An Oxfordshire lass
was lately courted by young man of
that county, who was not willing to
marry her unless her friends could ad-
vance ESQ for her portion, which they,
being incaple of doing, the lass came to
this city to try her fortune. where she
met with good chapman in the Strand,
who made purchase of her hair, which
was delicately long and light, and gave
her EGO, being twenty ounces at G3 an
ounce, with which money she ioyfully
returned to the country and bought her
husband" Even the hair of this
Oxfordshire lass is rivaled by that of an
old lady who died in 1870, whose long
graz tresses are said in the journals of
that period to have been sold to o peri
wig maker for ESQ.

Chinese "Wlyesp

The North China Herald has the fol.
lowing:
An Australian Chinaman, when anxi-
ous for wife of his own nation, sends a
letter to an agent in Hong Kong. The
following is condensed translation of
the espistle:
II wanta wife. She must be maiden
under twenty years of age, and must not
have left her fathers house. She must
have never read a book, and her eye.
lashes must be half an inch in length.
Her teeth must be as sparkling as the
pearls of Ceylon. Her breath must be
like unto the scents of the magnificent
odor groves of Java, and her attire must
be from the silken weavers of the Ka Lii
Ching, which are on the banks of the
greatest river in the world--the over
flowing Yanktse Kiang."
The price of a Chinese woman delivered
in Sidney is $38, but two Chinese women
only cost $50, therefore, the heathen
Chinese import women in couples. The
importer never sees his women before
they arrive, and then he generally selects
the best looking one. The other is
shown around to q number of well-to-do
Cinnamon, and after they have inspected
her, she is submitted to what may be
called public auction. At a recent sale
at Sidney young girl aged about nine
teen was offered, and after some spirited
bidding, she was purchased by wealthy
Chinese store-keeper, whose place of
business is in one of the leading towns
of New South Wales, for $120. The
mechanically aspect of the Celestial girl
as she went away in company with the
man who purchased her, was deplorable
| to the last degree.

A SINGULAR AFFECTION Thomas Big
ley and wife, residing at Rockport. have
an adopted daughter, ten years of age.
The girl is of average size, though slen-
der, quite intelligent and presents the
appearance of much physical suffering
yet she seems to be cheerful and com-
municative. About five years ago she
became a sufferer from bleeding at the
nose and pain in the head. About a
year ago, during one of her bleeding
spells. number of small live red ants
were discovered in the flow of blood
FROM the nose, and at different times
some also issued from her ears. Some
mouths, on one occasion. she lost more
blood than usual ,sand large number
probably nearly hundred-of live ants
were found in it, after which she APP
peared much easier, comparatively free
from pain in the head and able to sleep
we'll. At the present time she suffers
from the same pain in the head-in the
temple and behind the ears. Mrs. Bigley
says that five years ago the child took a
nap in the yard under shade tree, and
her peculiar suffering commenced imme-
diately afterwards, and this leads her to
believe that some red ants made their
way into her nose, and they have multi
piled and annoyed her ever since.
THE DEvIL.-Not the typical old fell
low himself, but his namesake, the print
er's devil. Did you ever meet him? He
runs the cylinder press lin his mind)
but sweeps the floor at his leisure. Sets
all the jobs in the Office but carries bun
dies TO fill up time. We all know bim;
nearly all of us have been there our
selves And having scourged the town
in search of the nonpareil shooting-stick
or the German roller have concluded to
do as the old woman did with her virtue,
give it up as an undesirable article; or
have in time settled down into a full
| fedged printer. Hailing sometimes from
the country, and sometimes from the
city, he is generally as mild as lamb
for about three weeks and after that even
the old boy himself would find it diff
cult to out general him at his own games,
With the(exception of the latent but
ever powerful craze to psrpetuate the
practical jokes played on him on the
next conner, his principal and generally
most successful occupation is desper-
ate effort to kill time. The ingenuity
expended in this direction would build
| railroad or stop Chinese immigration.

years, and whose political strength and personal
popularity and conceded uprightness Of purpose

the reasons why he 10 prepared 20 espouse the
cause Of the reyivifed Republican party--reasons
which he does not hesitate TO express In private.
These are, in brief that the Republican party 10

ec-The Roman Catholic Bishop, Of the wes,
take issue with the great fundamental principles
Of the Declaration Of Independence and Of our own
Bill Of Rights In their pastoral letter they say
"with the popular doctrine hat all mcn are
equal, there 10 also steadily gro ng the doctrine
that all power 10 from the people. and that they
who exercise authority In the State do not exercise
II a. their own, but as intrustci % them by tho
people, and upon this condition that IL may be

Il was condded TO them. This Is not Catholic
doctrine
The DESTINATION Of Independence says:
1--WE hold these truths 20 be self.evilent-that
all men are created equal; that they arc endowed
BY their Creator with certain inalienablc rights
that among these are lifc liberty and the pursuit
Of happiness. That. to secure these rights. gov
ernments are instituted among men, deriving their
just powers from the consent Of the governed &:
that whenever any form Of government becomes
destructive Of these ends IL Is the right Of the peo
pie 20 alter or abolish it,

Rights says:
"That all government Of right originates from
the people, IL founded In compact only, and insti
