the worst chronic cases of twenty-five

instruments do more harm than good
Williams Ointment absorbs the tu-
nors, allsys the intense itching, (par-
ticularly at night after getting warm
in bed,) acts as a poultice, gives in

pared only for Piles, itching of the

Anecdotes II Mrs. Stowe.

Miss Catherine E. Beecher, in the last
years of her life, was pleased to dwell on
the renown of her more gifted sister,
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe. She re-
lated the following anecdotes of her:
Mrs. Stowe had agreed to give lecture
in Jacksonville, Fla, for some charity.
The morning of the day it was to be
delivered she was working in her gar
den several miles from that city when
suddenly remembering her engagement
she hailed farmer driving to town
with load of vegetables, and went on
her way in a calico dress and hands
soiled with her occupation. Once in
the city, she asked permission at a hotel
to make her toilet before going to the
lecture-room. She was informed that
there was but one vacant room, and
that was for Mrs. Stowe. Her assever-
ations that she was the person in ques-
ton had to be verified before she obtain
ed her request, When Mrs. Stowe was
in England Queen Victoria sent her
word that ON a certain day she would
be pleased TO see the author of Uncle
| Toms Cabin" Mrs. Stowe replied
that she had An engagement for that
day. The queen would see her, and
sent a lady-in-waiting personal
friend of Mrs. Stowe-to make the
necessary arrangement for an obserya-
ton. There was to be a pageant of
some kind that day, in which the queen
would take part, passing the hotel
where Mrs. Stowe was residing, and
the royal messenger had agreed to place
her hand on the authors left shoulder
to distinguish her from those with her
on the balcony as the procession passed.
So Queen Victoria and the distin-
guished American gazed at each other
for few moments in silent recognition,
but Mrs. Stowe was not pleased that
she was outwitted.-Cor. NeW York
Tribune.

The Last Of the Buffalo.

Many of the exchanges have recently
published articles concerning the do
mesticating of the buffalo, or crossing
it with our cattle and using them for
beef Indeed, we are not certain but
articles OF the kind have found their
way into the columns of clippings in
the Stock-groDers' Journal, but we sup
pose no practical man ever thought SER
iously about such a scheme. In the first
place, there is no source from which to
draw our supply of buffalo from which
to breed, and in the next place it is not
known that the breeds will mix. The
day of tine buffalo is gone. His bones
bleach on the plains from the Rio Grande
to the Saskatchewan, and after allowing
and indulging in the indiscriminate
slaughter until the species is so nearly
extinct, it is too late to try to make use
of him. Where once countless millions
of the noblest wild animals that ever
trod the earth roamed at will, furnish
ing food for Indians and ravenous
beasts, now not one single large herd
can be found. Like the Indian, the buf-
falo will not flourish when domesticated.
The boundless plains were his home,
but the pale face with insatiate greed
and improved firearms invaded the
realms of the buffalo and wantonly
swept from existence the magnificent
animal We can not now recall him.
He and the frontier are no more. Like
the trapper, the tiat-boatman and scout,
he has been swept from earth by ad-
vancing civilization, and the dogie OF
the pale face browses where once he was
wont to roam and the flesh of the white
mans COW is issued from the agency to
the noble red man in lieu of the buffalo
hump which the red man few years
ago might go out and get for himself.
The well-greased tent-cloth, the soldier s
| old pants and discarded boots, now
shield the dirty hide of the Indian from
blasts which formerly had the buffalo
robe to content with.
There are few scattering herds of
buffalo now on the plains, but there is
not known to be a single large herd in
existence, and when even a dozen ami
mails are heard of, more than twice that
number of soldiers, hunters, adventures
and Indians are at once on their trail,
and they are slaughtered as wantonly as
few years ago.
The buffalo is gone, and whose ex-
| poets to see buffalo meat quoted in the
market is not wise; and he who wears
buffalo coat henceforth will pay many
shekels for the same. - Northeastern

We have had the exclusive sale of the
Rockford Quick Train Railroad Watch
for the past three years. No OTHER
PARTY CAN BUY THEM FROM THE FAC
TORY, OR HAS ANY RIGHT TO SELL
THEM. 1t seems to us much like boys'
play to get angry and advertise prices
because they cannot buy the goods.
We trust the publication of prices will
continue through the whole list, as we
have no money to advertise goods not
in stock. Such desperate efforts will
not deceive any. The people know
that we have never cursed the place rs
ready to be fenced in, because We were
going to leave it. They know that we
are not a travelling experimental insti-
tuition, and they will continue to buy

A Valuable Dog Killed.

no money Den dey sayt: .Ach, go
het voncer Und den mine dawg he bite
vone of DEM"
This was the explanation of Barney
Brehm as to why his dog had bitten
Daniel Lasche. Judge Fitzgerald fol-
lowed out his ironclad ruling in such
cases. and ordered the dog killed. A
rush of lawyers at once took place to
the mercy-seat to implore the leniency
of the court.
What for?" asked the Judge.
''Why, I'll give thousand in cash
for him." said a well known Senator ..lf
l had a dog who would bite every man
who tackled me for a drink, would be
$500 richer year! Can't have him?"
But the court was intiexible, and the
death sentence was unchanged.-Cire

One of the strangest communities in
the world lives on the Island of Redon-
da, which is one of the British West
Indies, between Nervis and Montserrat.
1t is very rocky and barren, and contains
no vegetation, but has extensive mines
of phosphate of alumina and iron.
About fifty men work in these mines
they being the only persons on the is
land with the exception of the fore
mans wife. Their provisions have to
be brought from Nevis and Montserrat
in small boats. The men live In small,
wooden huts built for the purpose.
The climate of Redonda is beautiful
and healthful, and the workmen enjoy
perfect health. The harbor is excellent
and well protected, the highest point on
the island being 1000 feet above the
level of the sea.
If you ask almost any saloonkeeper
what bock-beer is, he will tell you with
out hesitation that he doesn't know,
but that there is no extra charge for
drinking it. Other saloon-men, how
ever, affirm that all there is of it is that
more malt and hops are used. and that
one glass of book will cause the deadly
effect that two glasses of ordinary beer
would-this being a clear saving of
five cents every drink. Others again
claim that the warm spring weather
makes the beer become book; and still
others that the difference rests entirely
with the colored Autographs in the win
dows representing a goat goingit Final
ly, it is claimed that bock-beer is brewed
to celebrate the invention of beer, some
time about the year l. A man is per-
mitted to drink the beer and believe
anything he pleases about it as long as
he planks nickel on the counter

A NEW HISTORY.

The Junction City Union under
stands that Hon. r. ID. Thacher, state
printer, is preparing to publish the
second volume of Wilder's Annals of
Kansas. The first volume of this val
liable work was published several
years ago, and has become very pop
ular. as consecutive detail of the i'm
portant events of the states history.
The manuscript has been purchased by
Mr.. Thatcher, and he will publish the
book as a volume of his own, which
we hope will prove highly satisfactory
and remunerative. 1t is further
more stated that Mr.. Thacher has
yielded to the opportunities of friends
and will Immediately begin the active
preparation Of history of Kansas,
which will probably consist of two
large octave volumes, and which Mr..
Thacher will publish himself and print
in his own excellent establishment.
No man has had more intimate ac-
quaintance with the men and acts
which made the events of early Kan
sas history memorable, and no one
