A Chicken Story.

This is from Chicago. 4 hen with a
flock Of ten chickens found herself un-
able to provide for them. She secured
the town and made incursions into the
surrounds g country, but the chickens
had genuine Chicago appetites, ard
wouldn't be satisfied with anything less
than quail on toast, it is supposed. At
last the dispirited mother, one day last
week, fastened her head between two
pickets of fence and dropped off,
thereby committing suicide. But here
comes Ia the only extraordinary part
of this story. The ten chickens which
would hardly be considered desirable
to adopt after the circumstances of
their mothers death, were adopted by
q cat. The cat takes care of them
with the most finished skill, and has
actually learned to cackle like a Chica-
go hen, in order to please her proteges.
Curious things happen under demo-
cratic city administrations.

MRS. WILLIAM DowNEs. of Uxbridge, Mass
rites on March Is. 1883, as follows:
During the past three years Ihave been n great
sufferer from complication of diseases, which
u2tlled the skill OF the most experienced doctors.
Is could not obtain permanent relief by their
treatment and prescriptions; and have also tre d
''any 50 called cures in the medicine line, but
could get no relief The pains, aches and weak
'ess increased so rapidly and constantly that I
was so reduced in strength as to be unable to
eave the bed, and the doctors informed me that
'here was no hope of a recovery. IN this ex-
nausted and discouraged condition, dear friend
persuaded me to use Huntss Remedy, an pftef
taking it only three days, commenced to get
better and to nay great joy and delight have con-
ttnued to improve constantly by its use, until now
after having taken the remedy only a few weeks,
l am able to be about my house again, and am
now doing my housework My lame back is cured
lie severe pains have disappeared. and 1 am
cow in better health than for many years; and
beg this privilege of gladly recommending Hunts
remedy to all who affected with any disease
# the kidneys or liver; and 1 also highly recon-
mend it for the attacks OF sick headache. My

tit to his health by the use of this most valuable

A POOR WIDOWS DAMAGES.
How woman Expecting SOC P0cE.
cted sixty Times as much.

Savannah Recorder.
Not long ago man crossing g. rail
road track on 8 mule was struck by O.
locomotive and killed. The mule was
also hurried into eternity. The man
while sober was gentleman, but when
drunk was q perfect tyrant of the deep
est dye. Without any provocation
whatever he used to beat his wife and
lock her up In the wardrobe, hence
when she heard of his death it was not
SO much q case of heavy bereavement
as it was of mitigated affection. AS the
engineer of the locomotive was clearly
to blame for the accident it was suggest
ed to the widow that she bring q suit
for damages. She resolved to do so and
called at the Office Of the railway com.
pany. The proper official happened to
be III. The widow had such a clear case
against the company that it was deem
ed advisable to compromise the mat
ter.
"Now, madam" said tie official,
after the widow had thrown back her
veil and stated her business, eve are
willing to do what is fair In this matter.
There Is really no occasion to 60 to law.
1t is delicate question TO discuss, SO |
think. Without going into the merits of
It, | will tender you check for Sc, 900
and you will sign q paper releasing the
company from any further demands"
The widow stared and asked, Chow
much?"
Il am authorized to pay you So
Il accept it." she said, very much
agitated. Tue check was handed over,
the papers signed and the widow walk
ed out into the street in 81 bewildered
frame of mind. AS she cashed the
check she said to herself confdentially:
Il didn't expect to get more than $50
| reckon that railroad fellow didn't
know how old that mule was"

AS all of our readers on visiting New York
will desire TO visit the Brooklyn Bridge, the most
direct route is az follows: Arriving at the Grand
Central depot, travel stained, walk acress the
street to the Grand Union Hotel, wash up. obtain
good meal or lunch, then take the elevated
train at the door, which in fifteen minutes will
depc lit you at the bridge entrance at the City
Hall. If you walk over, thirty minutes will be
consumed each way. Taking the uptown train
at the City Hall, on arriving at the Grand Union,
you will have consumed enc hour and thirty min
utes in transit and sightseeing. AS precau-
ton, however, we advise our readers on fl st ar
rival to register, as the $50 rooms at this house
are engaged early in the day; also hand your
bagg 'ge checks to the hotel clerk, who will have
it transferred to and from the Grand Central
depot free. Remember that the Grand Union is
the only strictly first class hotel in the metropol
from whence direct and speedy communication is
made to the Brooklyn Bridge; also that its &C
commodatiOns are better and its charges more
reasonable than any of its competitors.

M4LARTA.

The alarming rapidity with which
malaria has been sprea ding over the
ountry has caused much Talk and inves-
legation 1t is malady which not even
the most talented physicians are able to
fathom. Its cause in most cases is s,vtrib-
utable to local surroundings, impure
water, marshy ground, ETC., but it often
appears in places noted for being unusu
ally healthy. Probably no disease has so
haf1ed the investigation of the medical
fraternity, and few diseases cause more
misery. Malaria does not necessarif~
mean chills and fever, although these
troubles usually accompany it, backache,
a tired weary feeling, lack of energy,
aches of all kinds and a sort of despair
ing misery are the sure accompaniment
Cfmalaria. The standard remedy has been
quinine, and yet all who have taken this
drug know its disagreeabIe effects, and
also are aware that it seldom, if ever
effects permanent cure. In fact, the
system becomes finally so Injured to it
that even the largest doses fail to give
relief. What is wanted is good health
giving tonic which will strengthen and
Huild up the system and permanently re-
store health.
browns Iron Bitters, manufactured by
the Brown Chemical Company, of Balti-
more, Md, is such a tonic, and is a sure
antidote against all malarial diseases.

ously. Mrs. Joseph is brought to In

A BRIDE FOR 4 BLOW.
a RnOck-D0wn Argument that was
sr0re Effective than Intended.
Philadelphia Record.


Philadelphia Record.
Miss Sophie King, the 18-vear old
daughter Of Matthew King, of Mana
yunk, discovered q few weeks ago that
her lover, William Heron, a thrifty
mill operative, was OF iactionabIe to her
family, and thai while she remained at
home the course of their true love
would not be permitted to run smooth.
She st once left her fathers house to
clerk ct bakery, where the counting
might 90 on without parental interior
ence. Her father attempted to COM
pei her to return home, but she would
not be moved and said that she would
marry her lover as soon as matters
could be arranged. Then the father
served notice on the priests and minis
tiers that she was not of legal age and
could not be married. The lovers,
however, went on billing and cooling,
willing to await the coming of the time
when the parents refusal could not
prevent the marriage. On Monday
Mr.. King met young Heron on the
street and assaulted him, and on Tues
day the father and two brothers Of the
girl, Theodore and Arnold made a Sec
0nd attack upon the young man, beat
ing him with clubs and wounding him
severely. This attack very speedily
and IN q singular manner put an end
to all difficulty and resulted ia the mar
rage of the young people, with the
consent and the blessing of Miss Kings
parents. Heron went before Magis-
trate Rink and had King and his two
sons arrested. They were promptly
held in $500 bail to await trial. The
old man owned no real estate and no
one would 60 his bail, SO he stood an
excellent chance of spending a summer
vacation IN a prison cell. Then q happy
thought struck the magistrate. he
proposed that Heron should Withdraw
the charge, provided his sweetheart's
father would consent to the marriage
and give his blessing to the match.
Mrs. King was called in consultation,
and when it was clearly shown that it
was the jail for the father or the altar
for the daughter, the party adjourned
to the residence Of the Rev. MIR. bel,
of the Evangelical church, where Miss
King speedily became Mrs. Heron.
The King family returned home quite
crest-fallen, and the newly-married
pair marched off arm-in- arm.

A traveller on the frontiers of south

age of Is or Is, graceful as fawn and
with an Eoglish face, and dressed in a
turban, a short jacket and blue cotton
petticoat. "Her smile was pleasantly
bright and CHEEKY, but her voice-that
most excellent thing in wonan-was
better than all. She watched US care
fully and seemed highly amused. A
few minutes and this vision OF beauty
stepped on to small bamboo raft with
her companion, another young woman,
and padded rapidly across the river.
She had gone, but her voice was heard
by us like some pure bell sounding its
silver music from the hillside. Truly,
If there be many such, I should vastly
