man. To do this we must cultivate
our minds and save our money. We
must respect our women and our
selves and we will be respected in
spite of everything else.
Our young men are doing well,
but we think they might in some
instances do better. The young
men of Charlotte have the credit of
running the most successful colored
boarding house in the State, some Of
the best markets in the city, one Of
the best grocery stores, all the bar
Der shops, a newspaper, and have
some fine mechanics. Our best
teachers and preachers are among
our young men. Yet we want to
see the masses looking higher. One
third the money they waste would
buy books and pay teacher for
night school, and one-half the time
they spend in frolicing if spent in
studying would be as bread cast
upon the waters to be gathered af
ter many days, to make them hap.
Ply in their old age. Now as the
nights are getting longer let oul
young men look to their interests
How would it do to have a night
school.

WeII.sIerited Success.

A gentleman once asked a dlstln-
guished dispensing druggist to explain
the secret of the almost universal de-
mand for DR.. Richmond's Samaritan |
Nervine. He said that it was in fact a |
genuine medicine-such a compound
as every good physician would pre-
scribe for the disease which it was
advertised to cure. Of course it cost
less than any druggist would charge
for the same article supplied on a
physician prescription, and besides,
there was saving Of the doctors fee
in addition. Moreover, by buying the
drugs in such enormous quantities,
and having a perfect apparatus for
compounding the mixture, he was not
only enabled to get better articles in
the first place, but also to present the
medicine in better form and at less
price than the same preparation could
be possibly obtained from any other
source. DR.. Richmond has devoted
all his energies to the alienation of
human suffering. With this end in
view, and with his whole heart in his
great labor for the benefit Of the
afflicted, he has achieved marked and
merited success. There can be no
real success without true merit. That
his SUCCESS is real is evidenced by the
fact that his reputation as a man and
physician does not deteriorate, and the
| fact that there is steadily increasing
demand for his Samaritan Nervine
proves that it is no nostrum, but a
reliable remedy. He has repeatedly
informed the public that it is no
patent medicine, and no patent has
ever been asked for or obtained.
Neithes does he advertise it as cure.

Terrible Death OF a BOstOniaIi
In the AdirOndacIKs.
sDoclal % the NY. Herald.


SARATOGA, June 12.-William Mil
hken, of Boston, Mass, was literally
torn to pieces by black bear that he
recklessly attacked at Lake PisecO. in
the Adirondacks, last Saturday. Mr..
Milliken was largely interested in
Nova Scotia mines, and was a large
stockholder in the Mechanicville Wa
ter Power Company, Of this county.
He was enjoying himselfin the North
Woods hunting and fishing with a
party, which included W. Wilkinson,
of Wilkinson Brothers, Birmingham,
Conn; John Dixon and Messrs. Foun-
tain and Watson of Philadelphia. A
guide named James Shires was also
present. They had four dogs with
them, and they struck the trail of a
bear, which they followed up. The
guide warned them that bears were
ugly at this time of the year, and it
was very hazardous to attack one
singly. Milliken announced he WASH t
afraid and could get out of the way of
any bear. He followed the dogs closely,
and they found two big bears and three
cubs in a few minutes. The bears
attacked the dogs and soon tore them
in pieces, while Milliken fred at them
in vain. The shaggy monsters then
gave their attention. to their human
assailant, and in a very few minutes
literally tore him in pieces. The guide
rushed to his rescue and was badly
lacerated, but not fatally injured.
Watson brought his trusty rifle to bear
and shot the male bear dead, while al
most simultaneously Fountain and
Wilkinson dispatched the female. The
cubs we're captured alive. The male
bear weighed 400 pounds and the
female 300. The remains of the un-
fortunate Mr.. Milliken were brought
out of the woods by his companions
and forwarded to Boston. He leaves
a wife and three children. This is the
worst tragedy which has occurred in
the AdirOndacks for many years,
