guished it, and almost simultaneously
he heard kissing noise and then felt
the animals claws decorating the flesh
of his face and neck. The attack was
so sudden and unexpected that he was
for time overcome. He soon re-
covered, however, and a terrible con-
hict ensued in the dark. The young
man was not long in realizing his des-
perate situation. He clutched his as
sailant with both hands in a death-hke
grip and commenced ascending the
steps. When near the top the animal
wrenched itself from his hold and ran

ter at Washington, gave farewell ball
in that city recently. The Washington
Star says; "The decorations within and
without the two houses they occupy,
have never been surpassed here. All
the projections of bay windows, door
ways and corniceS Of the buildings were
brilliant with lights, showing the red,
green and white of the Mexican ma
tional colors. The name of Mexico and
the coat-ofarms of that republic blaHed
in gas jets. On entering, tropical plants
and cut flowers were seen grouped in
corners and adjoining mantels and ta-
bles. The stairways were also entwined
with green. Smilax trimmed chande-
Tiers and mirrors. The vista through the
rooms terminated in the inclosed gar
den in the rear, which was brilliantly
lighted and its walls lined with tall
plants. The large picture of the city of
Mexico still covers the wall in the rear,
and on the balcony by which the ball
room is approached are panels repre-
senting scenes from peasant life in Mex
leo. The floor o. the ballroom was
covered with white linen, and dancing
was kept up merrily until late hour"

false Impressions on the subject of
NNaaIfh

Are eagerly encouraged by those who endeavor To
hoodwink the public as 10 the mode of its attain
ment. Vague statements as to the causes Of dis
ease are coupled By such nostrum vendors with
groundless and preposterous claims as 10 the in
fallibility Of the remedy. Widely different from
the above has been the course pursued in relation
to Hostetters Stomach Biiters. Only plain sub
stantiable and reasonable allegations have been
for malarial fever, and beneGcient corrective OF
weakness and irreguarity Of the stomach and
bowels, are facts which the American people have
had ample opportunity for verifying during the
last quarter Of a century. II banishes the mental
dependency begotten Of dyspepsia, as well as its
originating cause. promotes appetite and sleep
and is pure and thorough.

would not allow him TO deliver. The

ing than those previously sent out by
