THE FAMOUS JOHNSON.
The famous PAGER, johnson, now owned by
Commodore Kittson, of St Paul, Mimi, was
brought upon the track just before the pacing
race began driven by the celebrated horseman,
John Splan. A twenty-five hundred dollar
purse was the prize offered for the best time on
half mile track. Johnson's great performance,
a mile in 2:10 was upon a mile track, and this
being a half-mile track he was to beat Little
Brown Jugs record of 216a The horse and
driver were enthusiastically cheered they
passed in review of the grand stand, but know
ing horSemen saw that johnson was not in good
condition. and that there was no likelihood of
his beating the record of Little Brown Jug
Their premises proved to be correct the time
marked ON the PAGER was 2:27 for the first effort,
and second trial proved worse, as he scored

call-for piece of sarcasm, directed at the unfor-
tunate johnson.

THE severest cut yet given to the
president-elect comes from Ben Butler.
The General recently filed a brief in a
claim of a widow for restoration to the
pension rolls, she having been drop
ped under statue providing that a
Widows pension shall be discontinued
when she is shown to be living in
"open and notorious adulterous cohab-
itation." The General claimed that
the statute had no application to the
claim Of his client because the ofense
charged had been committed prior to
the passage of the law. In closing
the brief Gen. Butler put in plea for
his client on general principles, as fol-
lows: at seems also lately to have
been very fully decided by the high
est tribunal known to the land that
prior unchastity can work no forfeit
ure of emoluments or office of honor
and profit, or official and social stand
ing; therefore my client should be re-
stored to the rolls" Can any Amer

How Watch Cases are Made.

IN 1875, thirteen men comprised the
entire working force used in the manu-
factIre of the james Boss Gold Watch Case.
Now over fire hundred are employed, and the
number is constantly increasing. The ea-
son of this increase IS this: In the jones
Boss Geld Watch Case all the metal in sight
AMI subject to wear is solid gold, while thore-
mainder, which only lends strength to the
case, Is Of stronger metal than gold,
giving gold where gold is needed, and
strong, elastic metal where strength and
elasticity are needed, combination pro-
dUcing watch case better than solid gold
and at oNE-HALF the cost. ~ y
Over 100000 of these cases 3
have been sold, and every jeweler in the
country can testify to their quality and
merit.
E W Marsh, Of the Democrat. bought a Jas Boss
short time ago, when purchased it. and sold Ii to
customer The case showed no signs Of wear, except
that natural to any case and am satisfied can DO

sold the James Boss Gold atch Case for many years.
and the parties who bought the first ones carry

Collins Brothers Present Century
Almanac for 1885 deserves especial
mention. 1t has been produced on a
most liberal scale-the size is Skill
inches-being much larger than any
almanac published in this or any 9TH
er country. Its astronomical calcu-
lations are gotten up with the greatest
care and by the best talent in Amer
lea. 1t can be sent to any address on
receipt of two cent postage-stamps by
the proprietOrs. A blank space equal
in size to an ordinary almanac is re-
served for the business card of the
country dealer who is also supplied
with stock of the remedies, viz: Col
Inns Ague Cure, DIR. Jackson's Root
and Herb Cordial, etc on such liberal
terms as to make each dealer feel an
interest in the sale of the goods, and
as it is found that each and every
remedy advertised in the almanac
gives entire satisfaction wherever used
every dealer in the goods recommends
them, aud thus it appears as though
it was one grand copartnership exis-
ting throughout the whole line of deal
ers who sell Collins Ague Cure and
DIR. Jackson's remedies, of which Col
Inns Brothers Drug Co. are proprietors.
Collins Ague Cure is sold at SO cents
per bottle. 1t has done moro towards
relieving the sick of not only chills
and fever, but Of biliousness, liver
complaint and all forms of malarial
disorders than any other remedy now
before the public. The Collins Broth
ers Drug Co. is not only among the
leading wholesale drug proprietary
medicines, all of their remedies being
prepared in accordance with absolute
rules of the senior member of the COM

remedies his personal study and atten-
ton for over thirty years, and the
