The proprietor of this celebrated medicine
justly claims for it superiority over ali rem
edies ever offered to the public for the SAFE,
CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PERMANENT cure
ofAgue and Fever, or Chills and Fever, wheth-
er of short or long standing. He efers to the
entire Western and Southern country to bear
him testimony to the truth Of the assertion
thatin no case Whatever will it fail to cure if
the directions are strictly followed and carried
out. In great many cases single dose has
been sufficient for a cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle, with per.
feet restoration Of the general health. 1t is,
however, prudent, and in every case more cer-
tain to cure, If its use is continued in smaller
doses for a week or two after the disease has
been checked, more especially in difficult and
long -standing cases. Usually this medicine
wilrnot require any aid to keep the bowels in
good order. Should the patient, however, re-
quire acathartie medicine. after having taken
three or four doses of the Tonic. single dose
of BULLS VEGETABLE FAMILY, PILLS
will be sufficient. .' 81

An Editors Life.

An editor who seems to have sour cd more than the average let over his occupation, draws the following picture of his fife:
 '; One of the beauties and charms of an editor is in his deadhoading it on all OCCASIONS. No one who has ~cver feasted on the sweetest of that bliss can begin to take in the glory fits hsDpInass. H. does SlO0 worth of advertising for railroad, gets a
 pass for yer, rides S25 worth and then he Is looked upon as a de31- head or haIf-blown dea1beat. ii "Duffs" concert $10 worth and ge,s z in complimentaries, and IS thus passed free" If the hall IS crowded he Is begrudged the room he occu- pies, for if his oomplimentaries were paylng tickets the troupe would be so much in pocket. He blows and puffs church festival free to any desired extent and does the poster printing at half rates, and rarely gets thank you" for it. It goes as part of his duty as an editor. He does more work gratultously for the town and community than all the rest of the population put together, and gets cursed for U al, while in many instances where 6 man who donates few dollars to a Fourth of July celebration, base ball club, or church, is gratefully remembered Oh, it is a sweet thing to be an editor. He passes ''free," you know.

Assessment Work.

Under the United States mining law it is necessary that $100 should be expended annually in labor or msterial on all unpatenjed mining claims. Ibis tabor can Le perlDrul- ed a5 l.ry tune within the year-the year dating from the first of January to the 31st of December of the same year. The labor cannot pc partly done in one year and the remainder within tbe next year, but the fnll amount mnst be within the twelve calendar months as stated. Persons hpldipL claImI cannot be too partic- ular il the matter, as failure to comply with the law makes locations liable to be jumped, Many persons bold claims who fail to do their an nual work as required by law, and doubtless there are number of such locations in this district, For the benefit of all such we would advlse that the annual work be attended to now, as there are not thirty days more in the present year within which work can be done.

Mail Carriers Adventure

The fourteen feet long shoes ot gn o-7-3h5e Tlonp-on" were sen5 tc 1 tse Louisville exhibition by H Me UuaicE. srperintendent of the rat way mail service on the Pacific coast. The shoes are those built for Thomp- o... who was a malI-carrier on the various Sierra Nevada routes for many years aud died ouly r." -ears asu. If history of few oi 1 tt9 startl adventures encOun''re'' " Tnom ;son could be sent along with the shoes. they would indeed be an interesting exhibit. One morn ing when Thompson was resting al |" hut near Tanks. station, something knocked at the door, and, going to open it, Thompson saw big gr1zziy' Thompson jumped back, and the bear waddlel in and gave evidence of bis satisfaction at the prospect ot mail carrier for a winters feast. He couldn't get out of the door, Sc Thompson jumped up, caught hold of a cross kearl and drew himself up. The bear canped underneath and gr;nned indignantly, as though say ing: "Well, old fellow, yOu've got to drop down sooner or late here goes to see which one will outiast the other"
 Thomrson sat 1t out all tLat day and shc following nigh. There was no ..se in crying for help, as none would be within hailing until spring. He could not jump down and fight the bear with his pocket knife, and altogether the case looked pretty des- perate for the old mall-carrier. His snow-shoes were leaning from one end of the cabin to the wall at the -T6tnsr sno: saad d ThopaBpeon z 1ally
 oyoned hls knife ard lashed it with
 his scarf, torn in stkips, on ons end
 of one shoe, makipsg a iormldable lance of it. Whi}e the bear camped under Lfm he could not use his lapge, the cabin not heinz long e1ough. Thompson at last got the 2ni~al outside the door by tossing c-c O. his stockings out. which the kc-r lunged out to investigate. That got him far enough to be prodded anG Thompson prepared. When the grizzly had sniffed the bait 1t turned round facing the door, and found It. self within foot of Thompson's lance point. The old mail-carrier only had foot to draw back his lance, but he used it to good advan- tage. for carefully drawing 1t back he gave it a sudden lunge forward, the knife entering the bears brain through one of its eyes.
 When the exhausted mail carrier reached Yank's and told his story it was doubted, although Thompson had a remarkable reputation for truth telling among those hardy liars of the mountains. "Therp, If you don't believe me, boys" Thomp- son said. the United States nal' ken wait unti my carrackter is win dicated.

For some inscrutabe reason, which she
has as yet given no hint Of revealing, Nature
is wondrously wasteful in the matter of gen.
Grafton. She creates thousand where she
intends to make use of one. Impelled by
maternal instinct the female cod casts mill
ions of eggs upon the waters, expecting them
to return after many days as troops of inter-
esting offspring. Instead, half the embry-
otic gadi are almost Immediately devoured by
spawn eaters hundreds of thousands perish
in incubation, hundreds of thousands more
succumb to the pers attending ichthyic in
fancy, leaving but a few score TO attain to
adult usefulness, and pass an honored old
age, with the fragrance of a well-spent life, in
a country grocery.
The oak showers down ten thousand acorns,
each capable Of producing a tree. Three
fOurths of them are straightway diverted
from their arboreal intent, through CONVEX
sion into food by the provdent squirrel and
the impro7ident hog Great numbers rot
uselessly upon the ground aud the few hun
dreds that finally succeed in terminating grow
up in a dense thicket, where at last the strong
est smothers out all the rest, like an oaken
Othello in a harem of quercine Desdemonas.
This is the law of ali life, animal as well as
vegetable. From the humble hyssop on the
wall to the towering cedar of Lebanon
from the meek and lowly amHba, which has
no more character or individuality than any
other pin point of jelly-to the lordly tyrant
man, the rule is inevitable and invariable.
Life is sown broadcast only to be followed
almost immediately by destruction nearly
as sweeping. Nature creates by the million,
apparently that she may destroy by the myr-
lad. She gives life one instant, only that
she may snatch it away the next The main
difference is that, the higher we ascend, the
less lavish the creation, and the less sweep
ing the destruction. Thus, while probably
but one fish in q thousand reaches maturity,
of every 900 children born COS attain adult
age That is Nature filings aside 999 out of
every ZOO fishes as useless for her purposes
and two out of every five human beings

The Swiss having succeeded in shifting the
palm of drunkenness among European states
from themselves to the Belgians, have discov-
cred another ground of distinction for the
country her people are by far "the most
divorced" in Europe, the proportion of di-
vorces to marriages throughout the confeder-
alton being per cent. If Protestant Switz-
erand were taken alone the proportion would
be very much higher, as is shown by the case
of the two 'demi- -oantons" of Appenzell in
the Protestant half the ratio Of divorce 10
marriage is IS per cent, whereas in the
Catholic half there are no divorces whatever.
1t appears that some of the Swiss statisti-
clans, noticing the simultaneous increase of
drunkenness and divorce, have argued that
the former is the cause of the latter; but it
is more likely that they both arise from a
similar cause "rhe most potent cause of
tine growing frequency of divorces, says the
London Times correspondent, ''is the faeili-
ty with which they can be obtained. On
the same theory, the facility with which liq-
uor can be obtained may explain the increase
OF drunkenness.

All interest in the Revised New Testament
has disappeared and its sale has dropped
down nearly to zero. When the work first
appeared it met with a cordial reception, and
had large sale. Thirty editions were pub
lished in this country, and over million
copies were sold, while 1000, 900 copies were
sold in England But curiosity has been
gratihed and the book sleeps on the shelves.
Rev Philip Schaff, d. D., who is chairman
of the American revision committee, thinks
this result is not entirely strange, as it took
fifty years to get the King James Bible into
general use in England. He admits that the
revised version is chiefly serviceable as a
commentary to explain the exact meaning of
the words which are in doubt, and that some
of its renderings he would have had differ
ent. The general impression of American
scholars is that the American revised version
is better than the English, and the edition
edited by DR.. Roswell Hitchcock, president
of the Union Theological Seminary, is more
satisfactory than the work Of the English re-
vision committee.
