A Most Remarkable Case.

During the summer of 1884, suffering
from blood poisoning, the result of y
gun-shst wound received during the late
unpleasantness, my attention was called
to the remedy of 8. s. 8. through the
public press. and / wrote to the proprie-
tors of that medicine, describing my

but it was very useful. Some time in the
fall of 1879 it commenced to swell and
lnflame below the elbow. and soon after
it suppurated and discharged horribly

croaching both on the back and palm

surgeon that this might happen in

A SNOW IBEx KILLED.
Tho Rare Animal Disposed CT By An Old
Trapper In the Owl Mountains.
Nander lWY. T. \ SneciaI

In the Owl mountains is seen at lonp in
tervals snow or white ibex. One of
these rare animals was recently killed by
an old trapper and hunter known as
Shoshone Jack. The snow ibex attains
the size of the big horn or mountain
sheep, has a coat of dazzling white, and
is of the true ibex breed. 1t is both active
and powerful, and when driven to bay is
a most dangerous adversary. It's massive
horns, with their backward sweep of two
feet, are formidable weapons and are for.
midably used. Some years since Tom
Anten, then mountain prospector and
hunter, now half owner in the not
ed Bonanza oil spring, Big Horn
Basin, came near losing his life in an
encounter with snow ibex in the Owl
mountains. Tom was in pursuit of band
of black-tail deer, when he espied ahead
of him what he at first took for a moving
snow heap. Soon, however, he saw it was
an animal, and moment later knew that
it must be the famed mountain rara avis,
a snow ibex. The ibex, an old ram, was
within fair range, and Anten at once
pulled down upon him. At the crack of
the rife the animal fell in its tracks.
fastening up to secure the rare prize,
Anten suddenly found himself confronted
by the infuriated animal. A most tre-
mendous "butt" sent the hunter fying
into tho air, and when he struck the ground
the ram was on top of him. And now the
heavy, curved horns of the furious
brute were dashed again and again
against the anatomy of the hunter.
Every Done and joint felt the
fearful punishment. Finally, Anten
succeeded in grasping one of the heavy
horns, and, dragging himself to his knees,
confronted his furious assailant He held
on desperately, and was forced to the
brink of a rough and steep mountain
washout. Here Anten succeeded in draw
ing his hu nting- knife. He made several
Intellectual passes with this weapon and
the closely clasped foes went down the
washout together. The ibex struck the
bottom underneath, and the keen and
ready blade of the hunter drank deep
of its life blood. Again and again did
the knife strike home, and the snow ibex
was corpse. When dressed the carcass
weighed one hundred and twenty five
pounds, and the flesh proved excellent
eating. The Owl mountains seem to be
the only Wyoming district in which the
snow ibex is found. There are said to be
a few in certain localities of the Montana
mountains.

A PRESIDENTIAL DUTY.
Why Mr.. Cleveland Continues the Daily
Misunderstanding Receptions.
WASHINGTON letter.


There is one daily duty that the Presi-
dent never neglects, and that is to go
downstairs and shake hands with the
crowd of people who go there in the great
East Room every afternoon. OF course, it
is great bore, but the President feels that
it Is sort of sacred duty, no matter how
busy he is. Of course, it was a novelty at
first, but that soon wore off and the daily
demands on his time began to be bore,
and a loss of precious minutes in val
liable part of the day. So he thought seri-
ously of cutting it off entirely. He had
the good judgment, however, to con-
suit some of his friends about it, and
TO talk with some of the employees
of the White House on the subject.
They all advised against it, and the Presi-
dent concluded they were right. 81 con-
clude," he said, talking to friend about
it, ''that | can not confer more pleasure
upon that number of people in a given
length of time by any other process. The
people who come to Washington want to
see the President, and it is, suppose,
something of satisfaction to them to say
to their friends when they go home that
they have shaken hands with the Presi-
dent. 1t reems TO be a very small thing to
deny anybody if it is really a pleasure to
them. and masmuch as am the servant of
the people, and can give more satisfaction
in few minutes time a day by this plan
than | can by devoting that much time to
any other work, | concluded to continue

A HERO In PLUMVILLE,
How Dan Proved That Brave Folks
Were Not All Dead.

The village of Plumville was very
small place. But like many another
little country town it felt its impor-
tance to the very last degree. 1t had a
town. hall with seating capacity of
over five hundred, beautiful new Or
thodox Church, two druggists estab-
lishments--calledp pharmacies--andc con-
sequently everso much better than just
common apothecaries' stores. There
were also two ministers, two doctors
and a number of lawyers in the place.
And now they were building an obser-
vatory, on very high hill, from which
there would be really grand outlook.
The great city, fifteen miles distant,
seeming, on clear day. to be close at
hand; while the intervening towns
and villages formed a pretty picture in
the midst of small forests and extensive
fields and meadows. The observatory
was nearly finished, and was to be ded-
icated on the Fourth of July, which
holiday was close at hand.
1t was all the people could talk
about, for the affair was to be one Of
unusual brilliance. Owing to the ex-
treme heat of the season, the exercises
were to take place at five o'clock in the
afternoon; then there was to be a sort
of general picnic, to which all Plum
vile was invited to send contributions.
Cake, meat, biscuit, lemonade, coffee
every thing good to eat would be cir
culated freely, and the supper would
be served from long tables spread in a
field at the foot of the hill. There
was to be band of music-a real brass
band-from the city, and every thing
would be just as gay and attractive as
could be. Even the families from the
city who spent the summer at Plum
vile caught the general spirit of en-
thusiasm, and the little knots of people
congregated about the post-office and
town hall every evening to discuss the
approaching event, now only a week
in the distances:
Mr.. Orson, the minister, was to in
vite a cousin of his who was a fine
speaker, to deliver the address, and
Mrs Orson had with difficulty and for
unusual large pay, induced Aunt
Nabby Nyson, colored nurse, to stay
with her children while she went to
Sky Hill to witness the imposing cere-
mony.
1t was very important that some re-
liable person remain with the children,
as Willie had not been very well, and
the new church with its adjoining par
sonage was in remote part OF the
village, and long mile from Sky Hill
u one direction. and half q mile from

Gold may be said to be everlasting,
indestructible. The pure acids have
no effect upon it. Air and water

the rude tool of the excavator again

around it has returned to dust from

mighty warrior crumbles as you gaze
upon it; while the trusty sword lies

in gold which adorned it, or the finely
wrought tiara which encircled the lofty
brow of the fair damsel, is there in its
pristine beauty, perfect as when it left
the workman hands and became the
10y of her feeting moments. Yes, days,
wears, centuries, have rolled by;
mighty empires have risen and fallen;
dvnasties that dreamed their power to
be everlasting have passed; armies
have marched, conquered and become
