The standard Dollar.

WASHINGTON, August l6.--Sinoe
the resumption act went into effect
the demand for standard silver dollars
has always been greater at this season
Of the year than at any other period.
The demand is occasioned by the
wants Of farmers and the South and
Southwest, who pay their hands in
this coin. The outgo this year is,
according TO Treasurer Wyman, from
$4,000 to $4,000 greater than in any
previous year. but he says the money
will undoubtedly find its way into the
banks and back to the Treasury in
exchange for silver certificates, so that
no permanent diminution in the
amount in the vaults will result.

Driving u Bargain I'm SOnih
street for a Suit Of Cape
Ann 0iIsIKins.


A coat and pair of trousers Of a
lemon yellow color, and very broad in
proportion to their length, hung in
front of a South street clothier's yes
terday. On the back of the coat had
been painted a caricature Of Z Goldfish
with the words Fish brand" A man
dressed In a checked WOODEN shirt and
blue overalls came along. Giving the
suit q turn, he said to a clerk who
came from the store as soon as the
man stopped: How much for these

The man in the checked shirt
snorted. What are you giving US?

The clerk laughed with affected
heartiness. my trent, you make

The man in the checked shirt cast
off the clerks fingers which, clutched
in his sleeve had moored him beside
the oilskins, and started down the
street,
My trent, shtop a leetle, shtop a

hurry? | sell you dose oilskecns for

You take 'em for two dollar und seev

Again the man in the checked shirt
cast off the graphing hooks and sailed
on. This time the clerk was very
much excited. Getting in front OF
the man, he said: Mine trent, so
hellup me, I'll do it. Der poss he will

The man stopped, pulled out from
his pocket a greasy bag, and took out
two silver dollars and quarter.

clerk.
How much did he skin you in

"Not more than fifteen cents. They

Expressmen liable.

Mr.. S. A. MRRRILL, the popular expressman
Of Brunswick, Me., writes US on May Is, 1883,
as follows: Having been severely afflicted
for about two years with Inflammation Of the
kidneys and bladder, so called BY my physi-
clans, suffered with distressing pains in my
back and retention of urine, caused by a stop
page of the neck Of the bladder, and a COM
plication Of other diseases. l was hardly
able to attend to my business, and at times
would be completely FRUSTRATED. was also
affected with incontinence Of urine to an
alarming degree; indeed, 1t demanded my at
tention fifteen or twenty times per night,
aud at times it would seem impossible for me
TO ride down to the depot on my wagon, for
every jar from the wagon would almost seem
TO take my life. Having failed to obtain re-
lief from my doctor, finally consulted our
druggist, DR.. Merryman, of Brunswick, and
requested him to furnish me with the most
reliable and speedy cure for such sickness, for
was suffering too much for human nature to
endure long. The doctor recommended me
to use Hunts Remedy, as it had been used
with remarkable success in good many
cases in Brunswick and vicinity. 1 purchased
bottle, and received such great relief that 1
continued, and had not used two bottles be-.
fore began to improve beyond my expecta-
tions. The pains in my kidneys and loins dis
appeared, gained strength, and my water
began to pass naturally, and was able to
sleep soundly, and obtain the greatly needed
rest which for long time could not. am
fully restored to health, and can attenh to my
business. Thanks to Hunts Remedy for my
restoration, and highly recommend it to all
who are troubled with kidney complaints"

ridge, extending almost in semicircle
about the portion now being quarried,

almost impossible to do the scene JUS

mountain, which is 400 feet higher
than st. Louis, is the wonder of the
region,
VAST BOwLDER,
thirty-five feet high and forty feet long,
the resemblance of which to an ele-
phant is startling, viewed from any
point. The trunk Is almost perfect,
hanging from the head, which is turned
partially side ways, and from the rear
view the resemblance is complete to
the bifurCation. It is difficult to look
upon it as u mere freak of nature, SO
much art and design does the figure
possess. All around are other forma-
tions equally remarkable. One man.
moth rock is ''the Terrapin." Others
weighing from ten to twenty tons are
as round as if turned from D lathe. A
perfect boulder, the weight of which is
estimated at forty tons, rests upon q
space no larger than the crown of hat.
It would seem that q child could topple
itover. A cave, formed by powders,
which one-armed man could success
fully hold against thousand, is point
ed out as the fastness which Sam Hide

this summit the beautiful Belleview

fields, while the Ozark Mountains loom
up in the distance, dark and grim.
Through glimpses in the hills Pilot

excursion was organized and the re-
maine er of the bowlder ridge explored,
and the quarries more carefully inspec-
ted. The process Of removing granite

Gould Fearing Assassination.

Mr.. Crosby, former law partner Of
Judge Fullerton, says that Jay Gould
would not go to Saratoga Oh account of
his fear of assassination. He never
goes "down town" any more after night
on account of his physical fear. He
courts retirement constantly, regard
ing safety as only found in public
ignorance of his appearance. It is
common belief among New York men
that Gould will not die a natural death.
They say that he has ruined too many
men, and that some time really des-
perate man, with nothing to lose, will
shoot him. 1t is on account OF this
fear that Jay Gould has built his yacht
for his summer recreation, not caring
to trust himself at any of the regular
resorts.
