KEEP IT PURE.

The Life is the BI0Od-Prevent Disease-Sur-
gerry the Last ResOrt-A Telling Letter.
Here is fact for you to think over, viz Medical
science proves that diseases, matter how great
variety they seem to have, proceed from compare
lively few causes. 1t is for this that
single medicines relieve cure wide range of
complaints-some of them appearing almost direct
ly opposite in their natures. When medical prep
aration acts at upon the digestive and urinary
organs and also purifes the blood, the list of diff
culties subject to its control is astonishing. But
while many things said to possess this power,
those which actually do exert it are very rare.

THE BLOODY CANYON.

A correspondent of The San Fran
cisco Chronicle who has been explor-
ing the Sierras in the vicinity of the
Yosemite thus describes the 'sbloody
canyon" which lies about forty miles
from the valley: Toward evening we
neared the head of the bloody can
yon at what is known as the Mono
pass. Never before had we gazed
on such scene of barrenness and
utter desolation as that which was
now open before Us. Being SO near
night the effect was doubly enhanc-
ed. To the west the sun was yet an
hour high and was tinging here and
there the snow-covered granite with
blood-red spots, while the shadow in
tervals were of the color of blued
steel, but to the east and below us it
was to all intents and purposes night.
An occasional sparkle at our feet,
very far below, denoted the pres
ence of lake, and the muffied roar
and hiss also told of waterfalls,
probably cascades in the outlets of
the various lakes, which, from de-
scription, we know existed in this
canyon, but now could not see.
The canyon is the usual V-shaped
gorge of all the California canyons.
But this one is giant among pyg-
mics. The northern slope is at least
5000 feet deep, and the southern
one fully 1000 feet in depth. And
we find from sketches made at the
time that the angle of the slopes is
as sharp as 60 or 20 degrees, with
many perpendicular faces of 800 or a
thousand feet. Now in this evening
light, the top of the great cliffs was
of deep purple-red, with black-pur-
pie shadows; the face to the north
was series of great ridges, running
vertically in parallel lines to the slant
of the rock, and each ridge notched
and broken up into series of saw
like indentations. The shadows of
the Sierra were projected below far
out on to the broken plain, but ceas-
ed at the foot of a volcanic-looklng
mountain on the edge of Mono Lake.
The lake and the distance were in a
beautiful rosy light where the sun
struck the ground beyond the shad-
ows. The general effect was grand
beyond description.

GAVE FIFTY DOLLARS TO
KISS BOOTH.

A good story is told of Booth
when he was here last, says the Phil
adelphia Press, which illustrates his
indifference to the class of women
who always find something irresisti-
BILE and fascinating in the men who
earn their living behind the foot
lights. Booth was travelling on the
Boston & Albany road one day, hav-
ing just closed an engagement in the
New England metropolis. He heard
an expensively dressed, handsome,
middle-aged woman back of him say
to her companion ST would give fif-
ty dollars to kiss that man." Booth
turned suddenly and looked at the
speaker. "Do you mean that?" he de-
manded, fixing his fine dark eyes up
on her, and causing the blood to
mount up to the very roots of her
hair. "Why, yes, of course / do"
replied the woman, confusedIy, look
ing in a helpless sort of a way at
the great tragedian and at the smll-
ing passengers. "Well, 1 accept
the terms, madam" exclaimed Booth
solemnly. "And l stand by my prop
osition,'' said the woman, recovering
her self-possession, and, rising, she
imprinted sound kiss upon the act
or's lips. Booths face did not be-
tray the slightest emotion. He re-
ceived the kiss stolidly, and did not
return it, but waited until the impet-
uous woman found her purse and
handed him fifty dollar bill. He
took the money, thanked her, and
turning to feeble, shabbily-dressed
woman on the other side of the aisle,
who was travelling with two young
children, placed the money in her
hands, and with courtly bow said
| s'This is for the children, madam.
Take it, please" and without anoth-
er word he left the car.

The Testimony on Which Abe Buzzard u

The Testimony Which Abe Buzzard Eek.
poets to Yindicate His Character.
The story of Mary Goodenderfer's perjury
in giving the testimony on which Abe Buz
zard was convicted of robbing the Steinmet2
store and the blacksmith shop adjoining, is
thus told by a correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Press:
through his friends, began to circulate stories
about a deathbed confession made by the
woman, which exonerated him from the
crime. Little attention was paid to these as.
severations. 1t was not until short time be-
fore Abe's surrender that Amos Rutter and
other leading citizens of New Holland and
the Welsh mountain neighborhood had sufh-
cient belief in the story to investigate II.
This they did and the consequence was a
promise to interest themselves in the procur-
ing OF pardon. This was the reason of A be
BuZzard'S surrender.
But what had the woman against you ?'
was asked.
"She wanted to git me away from nv
wife" was the outlaws unabashed confes
sion, "she was in the Jail when l was before.
She was here for livin' with another man be-
sides her husband, and she said that il she
didn't git me she would ruin me. What she
confessed to don't know, aint never seen
her confession but Jacob Amwake, who was
my lawyer, has it. She confessed to him
when she died"
A prim and precise practitioner of the old
school is Mr.. Amwake, who, in his Office i'm
Centre Square, shortly after the conversation
in the Jail, told the story of Mary Gooden-
derfer's confession. "BuZ2ard's second es-
cape" he said, "was quite unnecessary /
had the confession at that time and could
have obtained his pardon for him. OF course,
his action put any movement Of that kind out
OF the question. Moreover, L have not been
in position to be active in obtaining a par-
don Tor the reason that my appearance i'm the
character Of counsel would prejudice nv tes.
ttmcny as witness. l am not BuZzard's
counsel now and / shall not appear or take
any step as such in this matter. When Mr..
Rutter and the New Holland people came to
me simply said that Buzzard's statement as
to the confession was true, and now await
their action.
"My connection with the case was simply
this: AS counsel for BuZZard was convinced
that the woman's testimony was false She
was confessedly particeps criminis, her story
was contradictory, and against any one else
1t would have had no weight When the
woman had completed her term of imprison-
ment Tor receiving the goods which she
formed. She had consumption and grew
rapidly worse. At the last she sent for me-
Now, i wish to say that 1 do not
consider myself at liberty to mako public
the details of testimony which shall be
called upon to deliver before the board of
pardon. l will tell you this, that she con-
fossed TO having committed perjury in swear
ing TO Abe Buzzard's completely i'm the Stein |
metz robbery, and that her motive was |
jealousy. The woman was sinking so rapidly |
that there was no time lo take her deposition |
IN writing Two hours after she sent for me |
she wss dead"

ship, was out driving when his horse either
got away from him or broke loose from a
post The animal attempted to cross the
Pennsylvania railroad, just west Of Gordon
willie, when the buggy was struck by a freight
engine, which was running at a pretty good
rate Of speed. The vehicle was brOk Ell to
pieces, but the horse escaped unhurt. The
railroad men stopped their train and cleared
away the wreck. The horse was afterwards
taken home.
