CoRNERING A CRd1sUs.
How a Commodore Collected Claim
frem a Rich Man.

A story about Commodore Godon, OF
the old navy during the war with Mexico,
says a Washington letter, was told by a
comrade the other night. Godon took
possession Of the town of Largaros de
Terminus, and declared himself its Cover
nor. He governed wisely and we'll, but
in a quantity original style. One day a
poor man came to him, complaining that
a richer man in the town, who had long
owed him $500, still refused to pay it. The
Commodore ordered both men before him.
He soon found that the poor mans story
was true. The rich man mumbled some
thing about his inability to pay.
ooh" said the Governor; ''weI, then,
my good fellow going down into his own
pocket and coming up again, here is the
sum he owes you (handing the 5000 to the
creditor); and you, sir, now owe that
amount to me-
He then continued in very grim tones
"Do you see that ship out there?'
eyes," said the debtor, trembling.
"Well, sir, do you see that gun at the
porthole?"
YES" said the debtor, still trembling.
''Well, sir,'' in q terrible voice, "if that
money is not paid to me before noon to-
morrow Pn have you tied up to that gun
and given forty lashes.'
1t is needless to say that the money was
paid promptly.

Dashing Girls Who Make Life in the

There's the best subject for an inter
view in the house." said clerk at the
Gait House, Louisville, Thursday, to a
Courier Journal reporter, as tall, lank,
slim man with high cheek bones, piercing
black eyes and dark bushy moustache
was noticed pacing the corridors. "Here's
his name" The scribe. glanced at the
register and noticed in acrawling letters
the chirography, "ProfW. ZurRns, Aus
tin, Tex"
Take a seat, sir. Glad to give any in
formation l can" answered the lank
stranger, as tae interview er sank into a
| chair and told his mission. Il am here
only for a few hours. Ny home is be-
tween Austin and San Marcos, in the
hills that stretch along the valley to San
Antonio. Aside from the stories Of the
growth of that portion of the country |
s'pose there's nothing that would interest
so much as the facts | can give you about
the cattle girls Of our region"
The reporter smiled, and the Texan
continued.
81 know that there is an air of seeming
imprObabillty about this, but IL is never
theless fact that there exist in the hills
ranging along from San Marcos to san
Antonio from forty to fifty cattle girls.
Some or them belong to the best families
OF that part of the State. Some of them
to the worst. They are, however, the finest
riders of the West, and can whoop up a
herd of ponies better than the Mexicans.
They have a leader, brunette, with long
black hair, that cracks like whip when
| she is riding. They own from 400
to 500 head of steers. They have
! only been there two seasons. The leader
| came from the Oklahoma Territory, and
was said to be fast friend Of the OKLA
homa outlaw, Payne. Cody attempted TO
get the girls to join the wild West
| show, but it was no go. They can often
| be seen on the streets Of Austin, though
they are never known to stay in town
! over night. They have number Of frame
cottages built for them about ten miles
from San Marcos by some Scotch settlers.

Princess would consent TO renounce her
husband and daughter. The noble-mind-
ed lady of course refused to assent TO this
hard proposal. and remained quietly at
the Island of Bourbon until the year 1854.
After the death OF the Chevalier d. Aubanu
and Of her beloved daughter she returned
to Paris, where she lived in great retire

clusion of a cloister at Moutmartre,
where she peacefully passed away, after
having experienced so many vicissitudes
of fortune, and learned much OF the
changes and chances of this mortal life.

She Didn't Weaken.


The Princess Louise inherited a sturdy
temper and Will, which were displayed as
long ago as her youthful days. it is re-
lated that when John Brown entered the
service of Prince Albert the Prince called
him Brown" and the royal children
followed suit in speaking to him. The
Queen corrected them, and they all ad-
dressed him as Mr.. Brown" excepting
the Princess Louise, who persisted in the
right to use the name as her father did.
One morning the Queen heard her and in
formed her that If she again addressed
Mr.. Brown without handle to his name

A STORY OF GEORGE BOWIE.
Summary Treatment of an Impolite
Stage Coach Passenger.
FdShiR0ton Letter.

washington Letter.
A story I heard last night related to
George Bowie, the inventor OF the Bowie
knife, or "the Arkansaw tOothpick," as it
is also called. 1t is said that Bowie was
as gentle and chivalrous as he was brave
and regardless of human life. One night,
years ago, while riding in stage toward
Ohio, on the old national pike, poorly
clad old woman and her little boy Of
about ten years were for miles the only
other passengers. Bowie did not speak
to them, but wrapping himself up in his
own coat, slept as well as he could under
the jolting of the stage. An hour later
a big burly German entered the
coach at a way station and imme-
diately took out a clay pipe which
smelled as though it had been smoked
since the days of Sir Walter Raleigh.
This he filled with tobacco of the vilest
brand and began to smoke. The stage
was soon filed with his eXhalatiOns, and
the smoke began to make the old lady
sick, and she opened the window and
sought relief from the fresh air which
poured in. But the weather was bitter
cold, and she had to close it. She then
asked the boy to beg the man to stop
smoking. This he did, but the German
loudly said: "lf the old woman don't
like it she can get out. l paid my passage
and will smoke what | please" In the
meantime George Bowie had been aWak-
ened and had seen the whole procedure.
AS the German uttered these words Bowie
put his hand at the back of his neck, and
drawing out one of his famous bOwies, said
coOlly: "YOu are mistaken about
your smoking. You will put out that
pipe at once and keep your mouth shut, or
by the Eternal Will run you through the
heart! / would have you understand
am George Bowie, and George Bowie
means what he saysW With that he
slowly began to advance his knife toward
the Germans stomach, and the latter
frantically threw his pipe out Of the door
and begged for his life. During the next
half hour the German said nothing, but
looked pale. AS Bowie thought over his
action, and noted the sickness Of the old
woman, he grew still more angry, and at
the next station he forced the smoker to
get out OF the stage and ride with the
driver for the remainder of his journey.

A NOTE OF WARNING TO SUI
FERING HUMANITY.

We feel that we would be wanting
ing in the duty we owe to suffering
humanity if we did not sound note
of warning in regard to the use of Mer-
curry and other poisonous minerals in
the treatment of blood and skin dis
eases. IF the reader could see the hor-
rible suffering, theawful wrecks of hui
man health and happiness, shown by
our correspondence with those who
have been dosed with these mineral
poisons, he would shudder with horror.
Arsenic, Mercury, Anthony, and To-
dide of Potassium, are some of the
remedies most ordinarily used for these
diseases, and they are all POISON. DO
not take these poisons. They might
dry up your disease for few days, and
with it you will have Mercurial Rheu-
matism, which may bring you years of
torture. The Mercury seems to sink
into the bones, and the potash drives
the poison into the system, only to Turk
there and attack the tender organs of
the body, as the lungs, the throat, the
nasal organs and stomach. Hundreds
of people have been made deaf. and a
great many blind, by the use of Mer-
curry and Potash. Beware of Mercury
and Potash mixtures gotten up in i'm
itation of our Specific. A few grains
of sugar of lead dropped into a glass
of these limitations will cause the pois-
onous drugs to fall to the bottom. and
show the danger of using them.
Swift's Specific is entirely vegetable,
and is the best tonic for delicate ladies
and children and old people in the
world.

The drop in the price of quinine may
have been caused by the large ship
ments of Collins Ague Cure into the
malarial and chills and fever districts
throughout the south and west, where
formerly it was supposed nothing but
quinine would cure. Judging from
the large shipments daily of this rem
edy from the laboratory of the Collins
