Two Ways. Choose Which.

There are two usual ways of doing what
nature sometimes does incompletely,
namely, to relieve the bowels. One is to
swallow a drastic ~purgative which evacu-
ates profusely, abruptly and with pain,
the other is to take Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, the effect of which is not violent,
but sufficiently thorough, and which docs
not grippe the intestines. If the
first is selected, the person en-.
ploying it need not expect perma-
lent benefit, and he cannot hope
to escape the facilitating reaction which
leaves the organs as bad or worse off than
before. If, on the other hand, he resorts
to the Bitters, he can rely upon the re
storation of a regular habit of body, con.
sequent upon a renewal of a healthful
tone in the intestinal canal. Besides
beautifully relaxing the bowels, the Bit.
tiers arouses a dormant liver, imparts a
beneficial impetus to the action of the
kidneys, and counteracts the early twinges
of rheumatism, a tendency to govt, and
malaria in all its forms.

Another Mineral Discovery.

w. A. Brown, who was in town from
IVA yesterday, is very enthusiastic over
the mineral prospects of a lately discov-
cred camp on Slate creek about twenty
five miles southwest of Iva. The ore
assays from twelve to 1,0S44 ounces of
silver to the ton and everything carries a
trace of gold. Henry G. Hay and f. o.
de Billier are said to be interested in the
new discoveries and from the way in which
Mr.. Brown speaks it is evident that a
booming camp is in prospect for the very
near future,

The bill introduced into the house by
Mr.. Weaver yesterday provides for ANAL
gamating the offices of insurance commits
sioner and auditor, the latter officer to
attend TO the duties which now devolve
upon both. AS it stands now the reve-
nues derived from granting the privilege
to insurance companies to do business in
this territory go entirely to the insurance
commissioner, who receives a rather juicy
plum without being oyerburthened with
laborious work. MI. Viewers bill con-
templates the diversion OF this revenue
into the territorial treasury and the pay
ment of a modest salary to the auditor for
doing the little work which attaches to the
Office. The insurance commissioner is one
of several supernumaries which the terri
tory could afford to lose without regret.

Tho chief mate, one of the seven survivors
of the doomed vessel, tells the story. He
and the captain were standing on the quarter
deck, congratulating themselves on the way
the vessel was riding. The wind was blow
ing half q hurricane and the sea was running
high. Suddenly a huge wave broke over tho
doomed vessels bow with terrific force. An
other followed close after, and she was i'm
modiately thrown on her beam ends. Any
one VIII has stood on the seashore and
watched the waves coming in, will nave no
ticed that a succession of four light
waves will be followed by two heavy
ones, Woo be to the ignorant one
who, during the lull, tries to sec how
near he can stand to the water without get
ting wet. The big fifth wave will dash down
on him, and, unless he is quick, his shoes will
get a bad dose of salt water. This action
occurred in the case of the doomed bark.
While the captain and mate were congratu-
lating themselves, the two big waves were
rearing up in the distance, and bore down on
the vessel with irresistible force, swapping
her and compelling the crew to jump for
their lives into the only lifeboat left. The
mate says the boat was swept away from the
vessels deck five times, and five times was
swept back, each time receiving more addi-
tions from the deck of the wreck, until ALT
crew had been taken off. The undertow
would undoubtedly have continued to carry
the boat back to its original resting place, I'M
til tho vessel sank beneath the waves, had not
the crew used their oars after the last man
had been taken off.
Old sailors tell us that it Is not an unusual
thing for a man to be swept overheard in a
heavy gale Of wind, and Immediately re-
turned to the vessels deck by the undertow.
The many wrecks that havo occurred re-
Gently, and the tales of suffering detailed in
the columns of the press, call to mind the
sea disasters of the past. A New York cor
respondent sends us a reminiscenco OF the
loss of the steamer Vile du Havre. The
Vile du Havre was q French steamer.
She left New York on Nov. 10, 1873, with
more than 800 souls on board. On the morn

ing of the 22d she came in collision, III mid
ocean with tho sailing ship Loeb Earn, bound
from London to New York. Within twelve
minutes after the collision the Vile du Havre
sank, carrying down 800 men, women and
children. Tho crash came in the arkness of
tho night. Many Of the passengers were
killed In their berths. Only oighty-soven
persons wero saved. They were picked up
by the boats Of tho Loeb Earn. The purser
of the Inflated steamer afterward gave q
graphic account of the disaster. He was a
good swimmer, and Immediately jumped
overheard and made his way in the direction
of the Lock Earn. Tho air was filled with
the cries of the drowning passengers. He
turned around in the water and looked back
on tho steamer. Just at this moment a
dreadful shrek filed the air, and the Vile
du uavro plunged bow first into the waves.
In the afternoon the ship T~rimountain, COM
manded by Capt. W. w. Urquhart, sighted
the wreck, bore down and took Off tho sur.
vivors rescued from tho Vile du Havre.
They were destitute of clothing, and tho cold
being severe, thoy suffered intensely. Capt.
Urquhart cared for them as well Us was pos
sible under the circumstances, and landed
them safe in Cardiff. The survivors of this
terrible calamity expressed their gratitude
by presenting the captain with n beautiful
silver salver, with their names engraved
upon it. To this day it occupies n prominent
place in his homo In New York.
One can scarcely understand tho inhuman
barbarity which will prompt a man to pass
by n vessel in distress without a sign of rec
ognition, and yet this has been done in many
instances. In an interview with our CORE

mountain, told of nm experience of his which
he will not be likely to forget. In the early
part of 1868 he sailed in the bark Union from
Cette, which is a small seaport town border
ing on the Gulf of Lyons, In the Mediter-
ranean. After passing through the Straits
of Gibraltar his vessel met with a succession
of gales, which completely disabled her. Her
decks were swept, andSthe water logged YES
sci was in imminent peril of sinking at any
moment. For twelve days the vessel re-
manned in this condition, with a signal Of
distress flying at the mast head. One day a
vessel passed so close to them that with a
glass they could distinguish the twelve let
tiers of her name. But the inhuman captain
passed on and left them to their fate. They
were afterward rescued, but the captain says
he never shall forget his feelings hen the
vessel, which might easily have aided them,
passed out of sight.

WE NEED A SHELTER.

Ii the Hartville district will pan out as
richly as it is expected to do, and one
cannot help believing the evidences of his
senses, it would be well for the board Of
trade and the citizens of Cheyenne to
bestir themselves to secure some material
benefit from it. AS matters stand now
the greatest thing that can be hoped for
is that Cheyenne may become the supply
point for that section of the country, but
our situation should lead us to expect
greater results than this. Under present
conditions if the mines are set in opera
ton the ores will be carried through the
city to Denver over a railroad which has
been largely constructed by the money of
Laramie county taxpayers. A rate, we
understand, has already been secured
which will leave an immense margin for
profit.
One of the great hopes of the town Is
that it may become a manufacturing cen
ter. Cheyenne has gone through many
distinctive phases of existence from the
time when it was a mushroom city at the
end of the Union Pacific down to the pc
Rod when it was the fourishing financial
center of the cattle industry. No one
sourc Of revenue upon which it has ever
hitherto relied has been permanent in its
character. The changing situation has
changed its source of dependence until
now the time has arrived when it
must have something permanent on
which to base its hopes for
continuous and rapid improvement. The
source to which everyone naturally looks
is manufactures. 1t seems to us that the
most important step of all Others now is
the erection Of a smelter which the cir
cumstances of development and the pros
poets seem to warrant.
If we were still depending upon uncer-
tainties it would perhaps be well to look
upon the building of a smelter as a mat
ter for remote consideration, but as things
are now the issue should be met promptly.

Mr.. Duffey, who is a practical railroad
man, made a number of good points for

CHAs. EMORY SMITH, of the Philadel'
phia Press, when asked if there was no
conceivable circumstance under which
Blaine would consent to be a candidate
for the presidency, replied: MY opinion
is that no man ever has or ever will re-
iuse to accept a nomination for the presi-
dency which is spontaneously and unani,
mously offered to him. Viewed merely
as a hypothetical case | think that If such
an unlikely thing should happen as that,
under the circumstances the convention,
finding all other candidates out of the
question. should unanimously tender the
nomination, Blaine could not refuse.
But | am convinced that no such remote
possibility suggests itself to Mr.. Blaine,
and the best evidence that he is
entirely sincere is that his
best friends in the country, who have a
right to feel that they know something of
him, are convinced that it is useless to
consider him as at all in the field, and
they are at liberty, and will exercise that
liberty, to shape their course without re-
gard to such a thought as hat Blaine is
IN any manner a candidate, or hat he
hopes, expects or desires to be a candidate
for the presidency"

Bishop Neumann Soon to BE Canonizet
II Pope's Jubilee

Bishop Neurnann Soon to BE Canonized.
The Pope's Jubilee.
Word has recently come from Rome that
Archbishop Ryan, of Philadelphia, who is
making his d"ecennnial visit to the Vatican, is
collecting intelligence in the case of the ap-
peal for canonization of John Nepomucen
Neumann, a predecessor of Archbishop Ryan.
The prospect of Bishop Neumann's canoniza-
ton gives great pleasure to those of his faith
in Philadelphia, where he was known for his
spirituality and rigid conduct.
The process of canonization is very slow
At least four miracles, performed through
the intercession of the person named for
canonization, must be established before
canonization can be declared. In the case of
Bishop Neumann, there is an objection which
is not likely to DO easily overcome. An
almost invariable rule requires that fifty
years shall nave passed since the death of tho
person ~canonized, while In the case of Bishop
Neumann thus far only twenty-eight years
have elapsed.

the first to introduce into this country the
service known as the ''Forty Hours Devo-

in Europe. The rules laid down for his daily
guidance, and preserved In his diary, show q
high degree of ascetic devotion.
Bishop Neumann Is said to have ~prophesied
that he would not live beyond the age of 90.
He did not reach 40. On the morning of the
9th of January, 1860, he was suddenly taken
