"Astonishing the Natives"
Chicago Times.


 Surprises are the order of the day; in matters political, ecclesiastical, civil, and even medical, we hear of things strange and stranger are daily promised. One of our representatives lately dropped in to the Palmer House, and there in the cozy office occupied by our friend, MT. Frank II. Brooks, manager of the Kan sas City Times, we found that gentleman costly seated and busied over his corre- spondence. The writer asked Mir. Brooks if he knew of any cures wrought by St. Jacobs Oil.
 q do, indeed" said Mr. B. "I know that it cured me. This is how it hap. pened: l was living in St. Louis a cou- pie of years ago, and one very slippery night l was rather late in getting home and had some trouble in picking my way. I had asceuded some five or six steps which led up to my front door, and just as l gained the top l stopped to in- sert my latch key, when my foot slipped from under me and precipitated me downward to an iron railing across which fell, striking the small of my back. was injured SO badly as to be barely able to enter the house. In the morning l was worse. My back was painful, swol- len, and discolored. My wife who al ways keeps St. Jacobs Oil in the house and protests that tits invaluable, applied it to my back in the morning, and it afforded me a great deal of ease it was applied again that night, and so so on for a couple of days, by which time l was completely cured. l think St. Jacobs Oil is great medicine"
 We now began to think that we would certainly "astonish the natives" We were ourselves astonished, but doomed to be more so, for, after bidding Mir. Brooks good day, we were strolling down State street, and we ran plump into the arms of our friend Mir. P. F. Barry of Englewood. Everybody knows Mir Barry as being the late member of the leg islature from Home City. MT. B, has just returned from the east. We popped the question to MT. B. and judge of our surprise to hear that gentleman say:
 My wife keeps St. Jacobs Oil in the house at all times. She used it for the rheumatism and the neuralgia, and found it an excellent remedy for both; she thinks there is nothing like it. There is an old lady out my way who was cured of the rheumatism by St. Jacobs Oil, and she is ready to swear by it. You can tell your readers for me that l endorse St. Jacobs Oil, the Great German Reme- dy, and consider it an excellent thing
 On my way home to tea dropped into the drug store of A. NJ. Lancaster, No 27t North Wells street, and that gentleman said:
 There is a gentleman named Janszen a master mechanic who was, and l think still is, a foreman for Adams & Westlake who has been cured of inhdmmatory rheumatism. He informed me of the case some time ago, and said his daugh, | ter had been cured also. He purchased the Oil here in my place. He is very enthusiastic over St. Jacobs Oil"
 This experience is simply the repeti- | ton of the experience of thousands whose reason has been sufficiently per susded to try the Great German Remedy and whose faith, in consequence, stands unshaken in it's wonderful efficacy.

The Xalue of Local Paners.

Every honest reflecting mind knows that the local newspaper adds much to the general wealth and prosperity of the place, as well as increases the reputation of the town abroad. It benefits all who have business in the place, enhances the value of property, besides being a public convenience, even if not conduct ed in the interest of ihe ruling political power. Its columns are not filled with brilliant editorials, still it benefits you in every way. It increases trade, it eau tious against imposition, it saves you from loss, it warns you of danger, it points out different advantages and in creases your profits. Now, if you want such paper you must support it by ad- vertising your business in it; assist ill increasing it's circulation by getting your neighbors to subscribe with you for it. Ii you want such paper, you must not consider it an act of charity to support It, but as a means to increase your own wealth as well as that of the place in which you live; therefore, support it by advertising and subscribing and paying for if.

From time immemoral the horse has been mans best friend. But few years back we can all remember the comparatively little attention paid to this most indispensable of animals. We say comparatively little attention, for the horse was as well groomed, and certainlyaS well fed as shows-you would sec the pride of the county and State stables and farms assembled But there was a conspicuous want of noble draught horses, and as for speedcrs-wcll, 2;lO was the great ultimate limit that owners in those days desired to strive for.

\ New AuBsthetic.
Richmond (ya.) Religious Herald.


 Dr. NJ. T. Yates, in letter published in the Biblical Record, says of the surgi- cal operations to which he has recently submltted My doctors said that they had seen it stated by an American doc tor that if 8 person would breathe as rapidly as possibl, under an operation he would not teel the pain of cutting, and they wished to try it on me, to which proposition l assented. Dr. Macleod superintended the breathing-which was like that of dog on q hot summer day holding, out of my sight, handker, hiet in his hand to be dropped as signal when he saw the color come in my face for Henderson, the operating doctor, to go ahead. When Macleod told me That will do,' was surprised to find that the operation had been performed. This l have tried three times, and have not, at either time, felt more pain than is usually inflicted in the case of vaccina- ton. I heard the knife rip through the flesh, like the sound produced in cutting leather, but I did not feel the pain. What is the philosophy of this kind of an an9sthetic? Is it simply a diversion of the mind?" We presume the rapid breathing acts very much like the in- halation of laughing-gas; that itoxydizes the blood most highly, and makes the heart beat faster as shown by the color in the face, and this exhilaration pro. duces insensibility to physical pain. A man slightly wounded in battle often does not know it at the time-partly, perhaps, because of mental preoccupa- ton, but mainly, we suppose, because he is toned up by the settlements of the conflict. But, whatever may be the ex- planation, Dr. Yates's experience is an instructive instance of the connection and interaction of bodily estate and mental sensibility.

The very best remedy ever invented for the cure of general i'll health, especially dyspepsia bad blood, nervous liver troubles, etc, is Dr. Guysott's Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilia. It will not harm the most delicate invalid. It's use wonder fully revives the mental faculties, increases the power of physical endurance, and makes the blood rich, red, and pure, en- abling 1t tc counteract the effect of exhaus- tive and debilitating diseases. In localities where this remedy is best known, druggists find it difficult to supply the demand. It contains Yellow Dock, Sarsaparilla, Juni- per, Iron, Buchu, Celery, Calisaya, etc Every physician knows the merit of such ingredients.

An Esthete's Appetite.


 Mir. Wilde arrived on the 445 train from New Haven. No guns heralded his arrival, and not single sunhower or lily was awaiting his advent when he stepped from the cars and looked dubiously around. He wore bottle green ulster, lined and trimmed with fur, and fur cap to correspond. He held a cigarette between his lips and resting quietly on his chin. He is not graceful. He has an unpleasant, slouch- ing, hulking kind of walk, and of this he seems to be aware, for he quickly got himself together into coupe sleigh and, with his agent, was driven to the United States Hotel. At the hotel he threw himself on the bed and called at once for pot of tea. This was brought him, and while slipping it he.asked what there was for supper. The waiter read to him the bill of fare, but o. w. said None of these things do please me-" Thereupon he asked if there were any "burrds" to be had. What" said the waiter, Birds" said the agent. "Oh, yes," the sable domestic announced, plenty of | 'em." Thereupon Oscar ordered a dozen Stony Creek oysters on the half shall, partridge on toast with jelly, boiled potatoes, with the skins on, mind you," Lyonaise potatoes (which are cold boiled potatoies fried with onions. 0, ye 3esthetesD and English fried potatoes. which are mashed potatoes made into little balls and fried Evidently Oscar wanted potatoes, and he got them.

Drawing the Line.

N. Y. Letter to Philadelphia Press.
 A little while ago one of the leading women of the Astor family, viewing with alarm the increasing heterogeneity of New York society, felt it to be her duty to revise her visiting list. She took firm stand against new corners, not from any snobbish instinct, or from any sense of superiority of people who were very worthy, in their way, you under, stand, but simply as measure of pro- lection in the interest of the old people. Jacob Astor, the furrier, lived before the flood. So the lady gave a reception, or what not, and subjected the customary schedule of invitations to a merciless but wholly judicial process of excision. Among the names cut off were those of the Vanderbilts, big and little. q must draw incline somewhere" she said after ward to friend, "and l shall draw it at the Vanderbilts."
