A Novel Advertising Scheme.

A London letter says hat a leading
manufacturer of pills in that city con
ceived an advertising scheme which is as
novel and audacious as the most brilliant
flights of American genius in this direc-
ton. He forwarded to General Lord
Wolseley, on his march toward Khar-
toum, 10, 900 copies of a handful in which
the virtues Of his pills are eXtolled in the
highest terms, Accompanying the hand
bills is the manufacturers check for $50,
which he asked Lord Wolselev to award
to the first soldier of his expedition who
reached General Gordon's palace at Khar-
toum and pasted upon its door a copy of
the handbill. In his letter the enterpris-
ing pill maker said that his offer is made
from patriotic motives and with a desire
to stimulate the soldiers to reach and
rescue General Gordon at the earliest
possible moment. lie said he had sent
n large number Of the handbills so that
each soldier in the expedition could be
furnished with a copy, and thus have an
ever start in the race as far as he could
provide for it. His object in prescribing
that the bill be stuck on the palace door
was simply to show who was entitled to
the prize, and he added that the name
of the winner would be published in
every paper in England, thus giving him
undying fame.

The Anne mites Of " ar.

Generals Pierce Young and Custer
were messmates and classmates and de.
voted friends at West Point. In the war
they were major generals of cavalry on
opposing sides. One day General Young
was invited to breakfast at the Hunter
mansion in Virginia. The beautiful
young ladies had prepared a smoking
breakfast, to which the general was adj
dressing himself with ardor, when II
shell burst through the house. CHANGING
through a window, he saw Custer charg-
ing toward the house at the head of his
staff. Out the window Young went,
calling to the young ladies': Tell Gus
ter | leave this breakfast for him." Gus
ter enjoyed it heartily, and looked for
ward with pleasure to the dinner in the
distance. In the meantime Young,
smarting over the loss of his breakfast
and his hastv retreat, drove the Federal
line back, and by dinner time was in
sight of the Hunter mansion again. Gus
ter, who was just sitting down to dinner,
laughed and said That's Pierce Young
coming back. | knew he wouldn't leave
me here in peace. Here's my picture
give it to him, and tell him his old class
mate leaves his love with this excellent
dinner And out Of the window he
went and away like a flash. while the
Georgia general walked in and sat down

How Jefferson was Inaugurated.

Thomas Jefferson was the first Presi-
dent ~inaugurated at Washington, says n
letter TO the Cleveland Leader. The city
was then a country village scattered over
an immense territory, and Pennsylvania
avenue was a muddy country road.
There was a fence about the capitol
grounds, and it is said hat Jefferson
rode there on horseback and jumped
from his horse and tied him to the bars
while he went up to the big white build
ing to be sworn in. lie was dressed
very plainly, and only a few friends ac-
companied him. The Inauguration took
place in what was then the Senate cham
ber-now the supreme court roOm-and
only 1000 people were present. OF
thee $50 were ladies. AS the President
elect came in the Senators stood up, and
Aaron Burr gave the Presidents seat to
Mr. Jefferson. John Adams, the retir-
ing President, was not present. 1t is re
ported that he said he did not propose
to grace the Inauguration of the party
opposed to him, and that ne left the
White House on the night of the Sd of
March at midnight, and that before day
he had departed from Washington for.

Bush Horses of Australia.

From the mode of life the half wild
bush horses of Australia lead, unaccus-
toned to the hand of man, and not de-
pendent on him for food, they learn to
look upon him with alarm and suspicion,
and it requires some ma~noeuvring to APP
proach them without creating a prema-
ture panic. On the approach of a horse
man one or two on the outside sound an
alarm and make off toward the rest, who
thereupon rush together, and a general
concentration takes place. 1t is a fine
sight to see a herd of these horses, of
every size, age, and color. mastering in
this manner from hill and valley, as if
by common consent. Though physically
very powerful, they assume no threaten
ing aspect; their safety lies in their
speed; and as they eye the suspicious
object their meaning is obvious. They
say, as plainly as looks and gestures can
say: Now, what do you wantl If you
are a stranger, pass on quietly, but if
you are for IA gallop, we are quite ready
to try of what mettle that horse of yours
is made,

A Big Bet.

A bet was made in the presidential
election of 1882, or rather an agreement,
by which the sum of $500 wa given out
right by one of the parties 70 the bet, the
condition being that he should pay the
other man one cent for one electoral vote
that Jackson should get over Clay, two
cents for two votes, four cents for three,
eight cents for four, sixteen cent for five,
thirty-two for six, and so on, according
to the majority, if any, that Jackson
might get in the electoral college. The
man to whom the offer was made incau-
tiously jumped at it, and eagerly took
the $500. But he found that he had
obligated himself for more than he, or
all his friends, could ever pay The sim
plest arithmetic will show, that, by a rule
OF this doubling up, ever if the majority
had been but twenty, it would nave in

majority of ninety-fve, which would

Even a majority of only thirty would

of thirty-s six would involve $343, 597,

the brush just behind me, when upon
looking quickly around ] saw a grizzly
coming for me, his Jaws wide open, his
long red tongue %protruding from his
mouth, his sharp teeth cleaning, and
his hot breath almost burning my face,
he was so close. I was struck with
dumb surprise for a second, but regain
ing my presence OF mind, | threw my
coat over his head and made a break for
the railroad.

down the wall of the canon, which was
not very steep at that point, and rushed
on. But he was too cute for my tactics.
He ran along above TO head me of.
Finally he ventured too near the canon,
and, losing his balance, rolled over. To
my horror he tumbled down upon me.
And then we rolled down to the bed of
that creek together. Right there was

occurred in Colorado. We fought for

Not Exactly Murder.

"Murder!"
This cry in a well known hotel in De-
troit the other afternoon, proceeding
from a room on the third floor, caught the
ears of several chambermaids and created
instant CONSERVATION.
ooh! Heavens"
1t was the voice of man who shrieked
the words from room No. 40, and the
chambermaid at once sent a messenger
TO the office with the news hat murder
was being committed.
Don't kill me by inches."
These words alarmed Others beside
chambermaids, and the group o! three or
four presently grew to a dozen. Who
occupied the room! One OF the chamber
maids recollected of seeing a beetle
browed man of general piratical look,
accompanied by a woman closely yelled,
enter No. 40. Was he killing her?
''Oh! oh! you are killing met"
1t was the voice of the man. The
yelled woman had got him in her power,
and seemed to be submitting him to some
sort of torture. Several of the crowd
knocked on the door at once, and one OF
the chambermaids demanded in a ~falsetto
voice that it be opened at once. There
was a ha. ha ha from the yelled woman,
and the voice of the man cried out:

An Interesting Account.
Stone in the Bladder Expelled by Using
DIR. kcnncdy's 'FAvORITE REMEDY"

Mr.. S. W. Hicks, of Pleasant Valley,
Dutchess Co., y. V, the son of Mr.. f. S.
Hicks, whose name may nave appeared in
this journal in connection with an article
similar to this, was, like his father, afflicted
with Stone in the Bladder. only that his case
was more serious than his fathers. On the
appearance of the disease the father advised
the son to write to DIR. David Kennedy, of
Rondout, n. y, who, he said, would tell him
what to do. DR.. Kennedy replied, suggest
ing the use of "Kennedy's Favorite Rene
dy." which had worked so successfully in the
fathers case. Mr.. Hicks, who had been
assured by the local physicians that they
could do nothing more for him, tried Favor
lite Remedy" at a venture. After two weeks
use of it he passed a stone 81 of an inch long
and of the thickness of a pipe stem. Since
then he has had no symptoms of the return
of the trouble. Here is n sick man healed.
What better results could have been ex-
pectedl What greater benefit could medical
science %conferi Tn end was gained: that is
surely enough. DR.. Kennedy assures the
public, by a reputation which he cannot at
ford to forfeit or imperil, that the "Favorite
Remedy does invigorate the Blood, cures
Liver, Kidney and Bladder complaints, as
well as all those diseases and weaknesses pc
culiar to females. "Dr. kennedy's Favorite

Senator SteMart's Castle.

Senator Stewart, of Nevada, made a
large sum of money in London, in com
pany with Trainor w. Park, by the sale
of Little Emma mine, which. at the
time, was thought to be a second Col
conda, but which, after it had passed
into the possession of British stock
holders, turned out to be a rich 'pocket"
instead of a reliable vein Of precious
ore, greatly TO the annoyance of General
Schenck, who, as American minister to
England, had vouched for it. Return
ing, the Senator invested about 500, 600
of his gains in the erection of a wonder
fully shaped house in Washington which
was nicknamed ~''IIonest Miners Camp"
1t had a pagoda like stecple, a cupola, a
ball room which resembled a gasometer,
and a variety of concentrations unlike
anything ever seen before. 1t was fur
nished in the most gorgeous style, re-
minding one of a Western steamboat or
a New York barber shop; but it was
only occupied for one season, as the Sen
ator lost his fortune and could not afford
to keep up the establishment af ter the
expiration of his senatorial term. A few
years later it was injured by fire and so
rebuilt that it was less conspicuo us and
in better taste. The Senator him self is
personally the t"je OF a pioneer on the
Pacific slope, and he appears nted,

just crossed the Rocky mountains, in
