The one GREAT MEDICINE.

without doubt there are now, and have been for
years past, several medicines of remarkable merit
before the pubHc-medcines which have been used
in very many cases with excellent success. The
names of these will readily reour to our readers, and
they are the names of preparations whose worth for
certain purposes no one is disposed to deny. But
we are fully justified, by undeniable and notorious
facts in saying, and do unhesitatingly say, that
the one great medicine of the daythe medi-
cine we mean which now stands pre-eminent above
all others-is the famous VEeETTNE of Mr. ID. L.
Stevens of Boston, Some of the undeniable facts
respecting this famous medicine are these:
First. 1t is astonishingly efficient in really curing
.he various diseases for which it is especially COM
pounded and intended.
Second. 1t acts with q celerity which is generally
very surprising. single bottle has often either
cured the of serious diihcuy or Droubht ABOUT
a most agreeable change, while very lew bottles
have in thousands of instances effected the complete
cure of ong-standng disease which had previously
5afied the skill of the best physicians.
Third. 1t acts directly upon the blood, OF WHICH II
IS the only powerful aud thorough purifier.
Fourth. The testimonials in support 4 these facts
and the extraordinary worth of this medicine are
from well known and most respectable on ana
women, and in many instances from persons holdlh"
The highest social positions They are not ccrtllicae
rom unknown and irresponsible individuals. We
ourselves know the yCry high estimation in WHICH
VrGE1INE is held in of the best families in tue
aity.
There is in short. and can be doubt or mistake
whatever about the uni lrecedontcd and surprising
efficacy value and success of the VEGETINE. AS n

Remarkably Recovery.

About yea ago tree fell across
the platform of street. car in the out
skirts of Philadelphia and seriously
injured the conductor, who expected TO
be cripple for the rest Of his life. All
sense of feeling had departed from his
lower limbs, upon which not even a
galvanic shock produced the slightest
effect, and several doctors gave up his
case as hopeless. One day recently the
conductor, while reaching as far as
possible for an article above his head
felt something in his back snap sud
denly and violently. When he recover,
ed from his alarm he found that sensa-
tion had returned to his lower limbs
and he is now at work on his car agair
with his old health and strength.

Pluck and Long Life.

The force of will is a potent element
in deter mining longevity. This single
point must be granted without argu-
ment, that of two men, every way alike
and similarly circumstanced, the one
who has the greater courage or grit will
be the longer lived. One does not
need to practice medicine to learn that
men die that might just as we'll live if
they resolved to live, and that myria DIS
who are invalids could become strong
if they had the native or acquired will
to vow they would do so. On the other
hand, there are those who have no
other quality favorable to life, whose
bodily organs are nearly ali diseased,
to whom each day is day of pain, who
are beset by life.shortening influences,
yet who live by will alone.

An Original STYLE of Advertising.

Perhaps the most daring and original
method of securing notoriety yet in
vented is that being practiced by bad
American concert singer now in Paris.
Finding that his alleged harmony
failed TO catch the applause ard francs
Of the Parisians, this balladist, who
advertises himself as Julius McJ. judd
the great American basso, conceived an
idea OF tho greatest merit aud origin
ality, advertisingly speaking. He en-
ployed variety actress to " get up "
in exact imitation of Mrs. Mackey,
whose pleasant face and elegant cos
tunes are SO well known to French the
ater-goers. Each evening This dummy
celebrity would applaud vociferously,
and would conclude by throwing to the
basso a splendid bouquet, to which was
conspicuOusly attached small morocco
jewelry box, evidently containing gems
of immense value. The singer indIg-
nantly spurns the offering, and as the
badly " mashed" bonanzsess is led
weeping from the box by her attendant,
he picks up the bouquet, which is made
of artificial flowers, carefully dusts il
of, and hangs it up on nail in the
property room, all ready for the next
evening boston Herald.

A Disappointed Marksman.

A chap went into crockery store
the other day, little hooked up, and
feeling as though he ought to break
something, said to the proprietor, as he
viewed long shelf full of crockery and
glassware: "What Will you take to let
me throw my boot at that 'ere % "Just
one dollar" answered the owner! The
man paid the money, and taking off one
of his boots, took aim at the shelf with
the intention of raking it from one end
to the other. He threw it with all his
might, and it went forth with a great
deal of witness, but missed every Ii
of crockery, landing in a tub of water
in the rear of the store. A more dist
Rnsted man has seldom been SEEM

The Chicago Tribune predicts that
within an area of about 10000 square
miles, covering the northern third OF
Illinois, the southern quarter of Wis
consin and the entire State of Iowa, is
to be the great butter and cheese pro-
ducing region of tho world. The farm
ers there are said to receive only about
fifty per cent. of the commercial value
of the grain they raise, the balance
being absorbed in the expense of trans
portation, but when they use the land
for pasturage and fodder for cattle

products the net receipts amount to
ninety per cent. of their value, the
transportation being reduced to ten
per cent, including brokerage.

The prize offered to the most beau
tiful woman at the peoples festival in
i5uda Pesth, Hungary, created ma
tional sensation, and attracted an i'm
mcnse multitude to witness the com.
petition. Over $50 women presented
themselves before the bench of Judges.
They were inspected one at time,
and each candidate, as soon as judg-
ed, was passed on to a waiting room.
When the whole number had been
reviewed they were again taken be-
fore the judges singly, and finally all
were placed togetherin line. After
critical inspection, the ten most beau
tiful ones were selected and the rest
dismissed, and then from this smaller
number the two loveliest of all were
chosen for the first and second prizes.
But this was work of difficulty, and
was not settled to the satisfaction of
all. The victor in the tournament
was Miss Cornelia Szekely, maiden
Of IS, the daughter of an official in
the imperial household. Her claims
to beauty rest upon charming, trans
parent complexion, melting brown
eyes, small mouth, rich dark brown
hair. and form of youthful grace
but her features are not wholly regu-
lar, and the mouth and the head are
not perfect in shape. Her photo
graph, taken in dress that is being
made for her by the first drcssmaker
of Hungary, is to be sent to all the
illustrated journals of Europe for pub
LEGATION. The prizes were bracelets of
gold inlaid with precious stones and
OF rare workmanship. This COMPETE
ton is said to have shown the Hungar-
ians that they can boast of every type
OF female loneliness and they are TAX
ing advantage of the privilege.

The Eureka Mine Showing M Rich.

The Eureka mine shaft has been
sunk to depth of 20 feet below the
water-level, where vein of four feet
OF solid high-grade galena ore has
been cut into, and it is one of the
best showing mines to-day in Bullion
district. Eighteen months ago it was
offered to anybody by the locators for
$4,000. Colonel Wall and Marshal
Shaughnessy purchased it at 3d.
200, and placed men at work upon it.
Within five days the ore-body was cut
into, and the property could not. OH
the 9Th day, be purchased under $780,
600. The developments since are en-
couraging in every way, and the
strike last week, at the lowest level
confirms the high opinion entertained
of the value of the property.
