day, while olt on hunting expedition,
he discharged his gun accidentally, and
received several shot i'm his arm and
side. He got home without difficulty,
and, examining the wounds, made up
his mind that he would 90 to town in
the morning to have them attended to.
The next day hea was in no condition
to move and was obliged to keep his
bed. Growing rapidly worse and fear
ing that his injuries would result seri-
ously if not attended to, he watched
for his next door neighbor, and when
b , saw her he signaled for her to come
to him. The girl came up and heard
his story, and volunteered to 60 to town
for q doctor. When the physician ar
rived and dressed Belden y wounds Hell

casionally and attend to the sick mans
wants, and she kept her promise relig-
iously. For nearly month she visit
ed the Belden shack regularly, cooked
and served Belden's meals, dressed his
wounds, and helped him as tenderly as
a relative could. When he got so that
he could sit up and help himself, her
visits became shorter and at longer in
tervals, and at length they ceased alto

This last spring it became necessary

A FEMALE DRUMMER,

Poker Like Man.
Chicago Herald.
There's new racket on the
road," SAID commercial traveller,
'it's n female drummer. / met
her the other day, and she is a
dandy. OF course, she travels
for a Chicago house, and she sells
goods like a January thaw. She
has been out so long now that she
is as independent as hog on ice.
She sits in an ordinary railway
car and charges up sleeping car
berths in her expenses, just like
the rest of us. She walks to the
hotels from the stations, and
charges up the hack fares, just as
we do. She beats the landlord
down to $l.50 q day, and charg s
the house $3.50 in the regular old
style. She can take care of her.
self every day in the week, and
she knows how TO order up bot
tie of wine and work it ON the ex-
pense account, too. Why when
l saw her last she was new silk
dress ahead Of the firm, and by
New Years proposed to have II
sealskin sack out of her expenses.
And that isn't all--she has half OF
the hotel clerks in the Northwest
mashed on her, and the way the
little rascal knocks them down ON
her bills is caution. She has
regular trick OF staying over Sun
day where one of her admirers
runs the house, and size walks off
Monday morning forgetting TO pay
the bill. What does she sell?
That's the funniest thing about it.
You would think she would han
die jewelry, or millinery, or dry
goods, or fancy goods, wouldn't
you? But che doesn't. She sells
gents furnishing goods, and the
fly young tneh who keep that kind
Of stores buy of her as if
they hadn't seen a commercial
travele, for six months. And she
is a dandy-poker player, too. She
handles the cards awkwarkly, and
acts as il she didn't know a full
hand from two pairs, and raises
81 on deuces, and nearly cries
when t'other fellow shows up three
of a kind, and then gets excited
in big Jackpot, and raises the
opener and bets the limit and
raises back and scaras t'other fell
low ont, and slides into the deck
little pair of sizes or sevens or a
bobtail as innocently as you please.

THE MOMENT OF DEATH.
How the Worn-out Body Sinks in the
Last RepOse,

The Medical and Surgical Re-
view says of death, under the
question, as Death Painful?"
The function of the dying is act
ually vegetative-we fall to pieces
like a flower. This very fact, that
the process is chemical. confirms
us in the conclusion that the final
throe is as painless as the incon-
venience is nothing to the fntal
pilgrim when he touches on day
light. A moments examination
of the way we are to die will show
marks of goodness in our taking
off. The degree of sensibility is
proportioned to the integrity of
the tissues. All inflammation
heightens it, age depreciates it.
Any defect in the nutrition dis
turbs the comfort of the individu-
al until the carbonic acid generated
in the LIBERALIZATION of the blood
becomes fixed in the cells, or IS
no longer displaced. The sensory
ganglia everywhere part with
their irritability by virtue of this
poison and cease to conduct cur
rents. The criteria of death are be-
ing satisfied and the process is con-
sumated when the extinction of
sensibility prevails at the ultimate
filaments.
During the progress Of the dis
solution of the nerve force, this
creeping on of the numbness of
death, the individual is rapidly
passing in a condition Of repose,
and instead of torture or pangs,
degree Of self-satisfaction oft ap-
preaching to enthusiasm is redliz-
ed. The sensations peculiar to
the therapeutiCal operation OF OPT
um, hashcesh, ether, ETC., are not
improbably akin to the mental ac-
tivities of the dying. Barring the
hallucinatiohs experiehcad in the
stupor as it gains on the subject,
the moribund is familiar with
Daught that borders on suffering.
This carbonie acid has poisoned
or narcotized the several ganglia
and influx productions are inter
dicted A consumate analgesia
prevails. In short, the notion of
pain Is forbidden the instant that
any stimulus fails to excite re-
sponse. The condition to this ir-
ritability is that the nerve centre
and the track be sound. II this
figure vanishes, reflex phenomena
are at an end, aud suffering, phys
iologically speaking is impossible,
because of the arrest of the func-
ton Of the sympathetic. Fortu-
nately, fol a wholesome study OF
ones demise, there are assurances
abundant from vivisection, the
testimony Of those who have been
restored to consciousness and the
afirmations of the dying, that
there is no physical r3coil from
death.

Dogs Chasing a H0rse-Gen Lochrane
and His Champagne, Etc.


While Patrolmen Cunning
ham and Holland were on their
beats near Wall street, Atlanta,
Sunday morning, about 2:30 o.
clock, they saw a bay horse chased
by pack Of about fifteen savage
dogs, rushing down Whitehall
street. The horse was blown
from running, and five of the lar
gest dogs were in front of him,
one of them holding him by the
nose, while the others attempted
to pull him down. The officers
rushed into the bowling lack and
used their clubs vigorously, knock
ing over six of the dogs and dis
per5ing the rest. The horse was
taken to the station house stables,
where he still remains. Mr..
Cunningham says that the woods
in the suburbs of the city are in
fesJed with a pack of ferocious
dogs which prey upon any animal
which comes within their reach,
and that Le thinks this is the
same pack. They must have
chased the horse a long distance,
as when he was taken to the sta
bles he was hardly able to stand.

derful curative powers, has been

she can cure rheumatic pains, pro

claims to have found the king Of
all herbs, and by combining skill
and natural fact and calling on
the help of God in prayer she can
accomplish the cure of almost any
disease or trouble.
Gen Lochrane has proven
his faith by his works, and car
lied into execution his promised
purpose of emptying his stock of
spirits into the streets. The Judge

whole lot went up, or rather down
into the street gutter. Jugs and
