Protecting Their Rights.

Probably no concern in the country has
adhered more strictly to the determine ton

printers ink than has the Brown Chemical
Company OF Baltimore, Md. Starting bus

pended over 81 ,50O, OOoin the preparation and
circulation of printed matter, more than
half of which has been paid for newspaper
advertising. Allthis has been done to mako
known the virtues of their celebrated Iron
Bitters.
As might be expected, very large sales
have resulted from this enormous outlay,
making it about as staple in many drug
stores as Is flour at the corner grocery.
Like all good things, it has been largely
initiated. They claim there are unscrupu-
ious manufacturers who cater to just this
sort of trade, and some dealers so lacking

public by pushing off Iron Tonic Bitters

finding these frauds practiced SO extensive
ly and all other means inadequate, have at
last determined to try little cold law to
put stop to them. Suits for heavy DAM
ages have therefore been commenced
against Non-Secret Medicine Manufacture
ers, for selling Iron Tonic Bitters; and 9TH

medicine was made by Non-Secret Medicine
Manufacturers, and also claimed as an imi-

those who live not by their own genius and
effort, but by copying and counterfeiting
things that have been made standard and

A Truly Honest Man.
ISedalIa MOI Special,I

Fl. c. Laforce, special examiner Of the
Pension Department, was to-day called
upon by Nelson Painter, farmer of this
county, who voluntarily surrendered his
pension certificate, on which he has drawn
four dollars per month for years. He said
that he was satisfied that the disability
which had entitled him to pension was
permanently removed, and it would not be
honest for him longer to accept the Gov.
ernment's money. Mr.. Laforce says this
is the first case he has had of this kind in
an experience of six years, and it is the
second he ever heard Of

AN EPISODE IN UTAH.

A First Wife Who Did Not riav polyg.
amy in a Submissive Spirit.
On tho other side of the square there
was a family consisting OF man and his
wife and five children, at least, the family
was constituted ns described up to the pre-.
vious year. Then the husband came home
one night with the agreeable intelligence
that he was to be married the next week,
and that he wanted his wife and the girls
to bestir themselves, and get the front room
fitted up for the bride, 50 that he need not
feel mortified when he brought her home.
His wife, regret to say, did not receive
the news he brought in proper spirit She
told him eNwas not likely to be mortified by
the appearance Of the bouse, as lie should
never darSen its doors with his bride
fear she intimated likewise that she would
be on hand with kettle Of boiling water to
receive him and tho young lady when they
attempted to enter. 10 all this tho hus
band replied:
"Very we'll, my dear. If you can not be
happy with us, try to bc happy without Us
We will not trouble you"
Nor did they. The husband took his wifo
to St George as soon as they were married,
but before startlng ne stripped the mouse OF
furniture, provisions, and everything else.
leaving the first wife and her children noth-
ing but tho bare walls In relating hor ex.
perience afterward she said:

my children cleaned in the wheat folds, and
we lived on boiled wheat until the next
spring. Then the Gentiles came in and some
OF them gave ME work, and bavs befrien;led
mo ever since"
1t will be perceived that the coming Of
the Gentiles was worth something to this
woman and her children, for though diet
of boiled wheat is healthtul and nourishing,
it becomes monotonoas in the course Of
years Besides, our wheat fields are some
times attacked by grasshoppcrs and crick-

Defects Of the English Yacht.

An article which appeared a few weeks
ago in The Field was by no means pleasant
reading for those who arc interested in
English yachting, as it showed that the
American feet will shortly possess four
great centreboard cutters of the very latest
type. No doubt English yachtsnlen have e
very strong and perfectly just objection to
centroboards, which ought not to be allowed
to compete for the Americas cup, and they
may therefore be inclined to despiso these
vessels; but no one can blame the americans
for following their own ideas as to what is
best, and the centerboard is, to certain
extent, maGo necessary by tho nature OF
their waters
Even, however, if the sliding keel be al
together and unresrrvsdly condemnad-and
certainly it is, in some respects, most o5;ec-
tiouable-it must bo admitted that the
Americans are not standing still or going
backward and it is, we fear, equally clear
that thoir brother sportsIuon on this side Of
tile Atlantic ore distinctly going backward
and abandoning good ships for inferior ones.
This is worry much 10 Ge regretted. Tho
English racing yacht Of the latest Kind has
some very serious defects, and undoubtedly
carries too much lead, but nevertheless she
is, on the whole, an admirable vessel Sho
is handy beyond any other vessel that
exists, she has great speed aul she is sea-
worthy. Saturday Review.
