The BunkO SWindle.

The care and skill with which the
bunko swindle is conducted is illustrated
by the experience of visitor who said
he allowed himself roped in for fun. A
sweat-board was introduced in the usual
manner, and a stool-pigeon lost few
dollars. He wished the visitor to play
for him with his money, and the latter
frs twon, but afterwards lost. At length
he was told that he was indebted on his
account to the extent of $500. ST have
not the money with me-" he replied.
"Then give me check, was the fellows
suggestion; & suppose you have bank
account; or won't that be convenient?"
1t occurred to the visitor that to sign a
check would cost nothing, as could go
Immediately around to the bank and stop
payment. A blank check was produced
and he filed it out. The gambler scru-
tizized it and then dried the ink with a
newspaper in lieu of blotter.
The stool-pigeon had bee quiet for
q while. Now he suddenly broke
out: This is friend of mine" he eK-
claimed, savagely, land I won't see him
swindled; he shan't let you have his
check for cent" He grabbed ths
check. tore it into bits. and threw them
on the floor. "Come, and he seized the
visitor by the arm; ''let's get out of this

A PERSONAL VISIT.

Dr. Moody. OF Portland, Oregon, who has in
a little over two years practice in that city
won much deserved fame as q skillful physi-
clan, will soon visit this section of this coun-
try IN order to comply with many urgent re-
quests in order 20 give the afflicted q chance
for personal interview. DIR. Moody uses a
new method of cure with which he has been
very successful. The treatment is simple, and
the most feasible OF all. There is no unpleas-
ant sensation whatever attending the treat.
ment. The doctor invites all persons afflicted
to visit and freely convince themselves, leaving
him to verify the assertion that there has never
existed remedy so startling and immediate in
its effects. These noted curative aids, as
handled by DR.. Moody, are endorsed and ap-
proved by the faculties of both Europe and
America. The beneficial effects are per-
ceptible almost from the start. Gases re-
garded as incurabie and OF many years stand
ing yield readily to its mild but wonderful in
iuence. In no case can the treat
ment be attended with the least dam
ger, thereby testifying it to be the
most harmless agent in therapeutics. Those
who wish to apply for advice or treatment may
confidently do so without hesitation or diff
dence, as the most timid may rely on that in
valuable secrecy which has already proved the
basis of an extensive professional reputation
abroad. DR.. Moody treats large numbers of
cases by correspondence, but claims that per-
sonal interview will more than pay both patient
and physician. The doctor therefore takes this
trip in order that he may become better &C.
quain ted with the country and to meet those
who desire the services of one that has had
many years experience in practice. He will
make the date of his coming known by local
publication in this paper soon as the exact time
for his visit is decided upon. DIR. Moody gives
free consultation and desires those who are
afflicted from whatever cause, to call and ascer-
tain the extent of their maladies. He makes
no charge where the patient does not take
treatment.

Boys and Girls.

eff I had dozen children / should
want them all boys" said Mrs. Thrifty
Boys can take care of themselves,
they are energetic, enjoyable, and it
doesn't take half as much sewing tc
keep family of boys along"
''Now, if should have any choice, -
said Mrs. Workhard, 81 should rather
have my children all girls. Girls are
SO gentle, so hopeful, and have SO much
more refinement than boys; and then il
is such pleasure to sew for them, they
look so prettily in the garments made
for them."
Very well. ladies'" said Mrs. sensi-

part girls. Tie boys influence the girls
to selfreliance, the girls refine the
boys by their gentleness. A boy who

the most manly man, and the girl who
is brought up with brothers makes the
most womanly woman. New Haver

stool pigeon snatched out, not the check

previously placed there. This dummy
was what Dan tore up, and the real
check was left safe and sound. That's

While myriad insect 9rchegtras unfold
Their rasPing medleys in the apple trees
In seas of creamy clover, white and pink,
Hum tippliDg bees, all dfowsy with perfume
And, in the orchard, one wfln boboiink
Breaks the repose of twilight's dreamy gloom.
The wind wakes solos in the somber pine,
Upon the hillside desolate and lone:
And In the wood, through labyriuths of vine,
Is heard the brooklet'S lisping monotone
Which mcssy caverns echoing, repeat

The bell rung by the San Francisco
Vigilance Committee in 1855 hangs in
the belfry OF the Baptist church at Peta-
luna, California. which purchased it in
1858. During the war the Unionists of
the town rang it after every Union vic
tory, much to the annoyance of those
who sympathized with the south. One
night the latter took the bell from. the
belfry and carried it off to apublic store.
It was recaptured and rung with renewed
vigor. Next morning it was found
broken.
