Relying ON testimonials written in vivid
glowing language of some miraculous cures
made by some largely pulled up doctor or
patent medicine has hastened thousands to
their graves; believing in their almost i'm
sane faith that the same miracle will be
performed on them, and that these testi-
monials make the cures, while the so called
medicine Is all the time fastening them to
their graves. We have avoided publishing
testimonials, as they do not make the cures,

Actresses aud Chorus Girls.

iAAio Nlhl
you talk of actresses hirtations,n said
one OF the stage managers who has much to
do with companies in which women are the
principal attraction, "but you would be sur
prised at how little of this business goes en-,
as a matter of fact-that is, so far as a
stage manager can know. What they do
outside of the theatre is none of my business,
and | don't seek to inquire. Sometimes
one Of the girls will come and ask
me II she can receive IA bouquet across the
footlights, and sometimes l give the permits
sion Just as sure as l do they all come the
next day, with the same request, and then
there's the deuce to pay If the demand is not
granted. II a man can stand being Disagree

seeching look he had better refuse from tho
start, because it not only makes all the others
come in for their request, but it makes the
artists very mad. Not without some reason.
because IL a prima donna is on the scene and
somebody sends up a bouquet to a chorus girl
it Is apt to make the artist look rather ridicu-
lous.
YES, l have known a great many chorus
girls to turn out well and marry in good cir
cles- l have known many young fellows
about town to fall seriously in love and
marry these women just from seeing them
on the stage, and as far as l have been able
to observe, these marriages have turned out
happily. You would hardly believe it, but l
have had applications from many women to
allow them to go on in the chorus at no salary
at all for the sake of getting husbands. They
find, / suppose, that there is nothing SO at
t~ractive to young mon us stage women, and
they want to set themselves deliberately to
work at securing them. A number of my
ladies of the chorus arc married and keep
house with their husbands, doing this as a
mere advertisement. There is Il good deal of
talk about stage doors and all that sort of
thing. ~Three-quarters of the men who wait
around for the performance to end are the
husbands, fathers, or brothers OF the ladies Of

AND LIQUOR.

1t seems that in Laramie. at the com
ing spring election, the temperance ques-
ton will cut a very important figure. In
commenting upon the outlook for this
campaign, our neighboring contemporary,
the Sentinel, editorally remarks:
We take this occasion to say that we
have in the past been treated very fairly
and ~courteously by the liquor sellers of
Laramie, with very few exceptions.
Acting upon principle and believing in
temperance to be an evil, we have always
been frank and outspoken against the IL
quor business. We believe the liquor
dealers and liquor drinkers do us the jus
tlce to admit that we are honest in our
views. Nearly every liquor dealer in this
city voluntarily, and without ever having
been asked to do 50, subscribes to, pays
for and reads the Sentinel. \ very much
larger proportion of the saloon people
take the Sentinel than of the temperance
people Of the city. Occasionally some
Jealous N temperance advocate who is
not a subscriber to the Sentinel, begs, Dor
rows or steals a copy, looks over it, finds a
cut Of AN empty bottle in its advertising
columns, and then comes and pitches into
us Tor our Inconsistency in advocating tenn
perance principles. But we can stand it.
Let us go into the contest on principle,
conduct it honestly aud honorably and
and submit to the result cheerfully.

OUR FRIEND.
In Art All OF His Wonderful Genius
Plays In Clustering Fancy.

tArkansaw Trnyeler.l
We are delighted to see that our old friend,
Capt John c. Brain, has appeared before
the public at Vicksburg, Miss. These self.
congratulations do not arise from the fact thai
we think less Of Mississippi, but because home
preservation is among the first paragraphs
written in the book OF nature. The people
of yicksburg will find Capt. Brain an enter
tanning gentleman, a versatile man. Some
times he is an artist, and again, as Jean De-
Lamar, he is a great physician eminently
able and commercially anxious to cure many
diseases. As an artist though, he shines with
luster. In art all of his wonderful genius
plays in clustering fancy. He not only
takes nature by the nape of the neck and
shakes it up in colors of brightest hue,
but he d~isguises fair nature with the harl
favored rage Of a stiff brush. He painted the
picture OF n prominent Arkansaw gentleman
with a backing brush and a pot of Venetian
red. When the portrait was taken home,
tue subject said:
"What have we here1"
your portrait, colonel"
Haven't you made u mistaken
sob, no, this is you, true to life. Some
artists believe in delicate line, traceable
only by close scrutiny, but | belong TO
the bolder type. Look at these lines.
You can stand ten feet away and SEQ
them. Look at that cheek bone. If there is
any distinctive feature in fine art, it is the
faithfully depicted jaw"
you want your pay now, 1 supposeF
ayes, colonel, IL you please"
The colonel left the room. The captain
stood gazing ut a picture. Hearing a click
ing noise. he turned toward the door and saw
a double barrel gun pointed at him. A local
paper stated that he was slow in leaving the
house. but subsequent investigation showed
that the paper was in error.
The models used by the captain in his fancy
sketches caused trouble. He had u passion
for painting pictures OF cabbages, eggs, sacks
OF -four and hams. These models, borrowed
from grocery stores were nsver returned.
Before he left this city he insisted on paying
advertising bills, but the newspaper proprie-
tors, being men Of wealth and devoted lovers
Of art, refused to accept money.

ABBAT

The Sabbath is a sacred duy-a day 0f
rest, recreation and rejoicing, and a day
upon which mankind is supposed to lay
largely aside all temporal things for things
spiritual. Biblically speaking, during six
days Of the week shall men and women
do all their necessary labor, and upon the
seventh take Il rest-a rest for the body
and II rest for the mind. They should all
rest in a rational way, and after the man
ner of their own heart inclination. In
doing this, each should have charity for
the opinions and the forms of others in
their several methods of worship. The
views Of the pulpit, ike those of the
press, differ, but the points of difference
should cause no hostility in the hearts of
men. Variance of opinion begets breadth
Of thought and nobleness of action.
Recognizing the power of the press and
the influence of the pulpit for good when
directed in the right channel, we open our
columns to the choice thoughts of press
and pulpit, briefly stated upon religious
and moral topics. Here are the selected
excerpts:
God is love and light-Bishop Simp-
son.
No sects in Heaven; all are Christians
there, Whitfield.
Wrongs intrenched in bad legislation
can never be converted into vested rights.
Philadelphia Record.
Under the laws of causation, ecclesias.
teal dudeism is necessarily ridiculous.
Pnonle smile at it in spite of themselves.
The Interior.
If woman's work is helping in a quiet,
unpretending way 10 meet our country !
future, who shall say that her work is not
an Observation-Disclosures Paper.
Not a~malgation, but truth, Justice. hu,
man brotherhood, Christian love, the gos-
pei of Christ are the remedies for tie
atrocious principle of caste. Rev DR.,
Alex. Crumwell.
1t is an awful thing to be Il minister.
We should be windows to let the lipht
through, but are too Oiten covered with
the eobwebs of worldliness, 81 not half the
sun of the gospel gets through.-Henry
Ward Beecher.
Salvation must come apparently through
the good tendencies of universal suffrage
itself, and the best and most hopeful of
these tendencies is the tendency to Put
men of mark in high places and uust
them greatly. The Nation.
He that-says God is the unknown. by
his very sentence bears testimony that
there il a God. His subject is a confes-
sion Of faith|God. His predicate is a
confession Of ignorance-unknown. Ivy

THE issue of the New York Times of

be a dispatch from Cheyenne relative to
the removal, or rather the n-re-appoint-
ment of Judge Sener, in which that
official is highly lauded for his judicial
course whilst officially sojourning in
Wyoming. The article was evidently
written in the Times office and does not
represent the sentiment of the people of

system through whose instrumentality
letters and papers are now delivered

saved, is a great point gained.
