The Lawyer Was Squelched by the
Peanut Man.
F.on "a Chicaqo WaN.

From the Chicago Mail.
Not long ago IA charter for corporation was
asked from the Connecticut Legislature. II
was bitterly opposed by certain interests, and a
good many witnesses were called to appear be-
fore the committee. An old gentleman, of I'M
assuming dress and manner, took the witness
stand and gave his name and residence. Al
though he lives in Connecticut he does business
in New York. But that did not appear at first.
His testimony annoyed the lawyer representing
the opposing interets, so he went at him with
bluster.
What is your busineSsy" he asked.
II sell peanuts" said the old man.
With look of dsdain and a smile OF triumph
the lawyer set out TO enforce upon the commit
tee the TACT that the opposing side relied upon
the testimony of peanut seller.
Peanuts, Ell? Well, sir how many pints OF
peanuts do you sell day? | want to show the
committee your business capacity" said the
lawyer
The old gentleman muttered though per-
forming an operation in mental arithmetic, and
then said
In the season sell from a million to a mil
lion and a half pints."
'Wherey' beloved the opposing lawyer.
AT my office in the Cotton Exchange in New
York. I sell from 81, 100000 TO 100000 worth
every year"
The opposing lawyer was sqIelched. and he
said that he never before realized so fully the
difference between one pint and a million, or
that so humble thing as a peanut sold by the
pint could be raised TO the dignity of colossal
business.

A TOO FRUITFUL SCHEME.
How Rome Man Advertised for
Wife and Then Got Out of the Notion


Wife and Then Got Out of the Notion.
From the atlanta Journal
Sam Goddard advertised for wife in a
Georgia paper two years ago. Sam is a
countryman, who bears a striking resem-
blance to the uncle of his country, though
he is not so well dressed. His advertise
ment was about as follows:
"Wanted-A wife.
IL want good affectionate wife who will
be a mother TO my little children. She must
be good housekeeper and well disposed. /
prefer that she be light completed, but no
red-headed woman need apply. | have a
home with four children, 200 bushels of
corn and fifty bushels of sweet potatoes.
81 catch 'possums enough TO cook with the
sweet potatoes"
This advertisement was published several
times in Rome, and was copied all over the
country and in several foreign papers The
replies began 10 come in the second day
from different parts OF the State then from
adjoining States, and finally from every
part of the Union After a month or 50
letters began TO come from other countries
A number came from England and Scot
land, one or two from Germany and one
from New Zealand There were over
1000 letters in ALL At first Goddard
was blithe and joyful His spirits rose and
dubbed over in all sorts Of ingenious dem
onstration. There were locks Of hair. min
iature bouquets, and once in a while a
photograph. The happy rustic exhibited
these trophies with undisguised satisfaction.
and all went merrily with him then. He
was the most courted man IN America. BY

deeps OF his heart were broken up as his
ponderCus and uncouth affections were
gradually dissipated among legion of adj
mirers. He became respondent, and finally
when the foreign letters began to come in
with 25c extra postage on every other one,
he was sick at heart. Sam never married.
At least not then The subject seemed to
have gathered terrors with its numbers,
and the reality OF ! 900 sweethearts was far
more terrible than the rosy anticipation

and took unto himself wife of his home

Sam Goddard now lives happily near Rome.

In LoEe With His MiFo.

"What can do to regain my hus-
 bands loVe"? writes Mrs. Carrie R., of Toronto. She adds that seven years ago she vas married under the most happy auspices, and, until six months since, happiness crowned her domestic life :; then her husband became distant in his manner toward her. untf now he is pos itively cold. Mrs. R. gives no details, out if she is afflicted with diseases pecu- lis to women, if her cheeks have lost their bloom, and her eyes their sparkle, it may explain the cause of se4 com plSint. In this event Dr. Pierce's Fav oritt Prescription will effect magical elisnge and restore her to health. As a powerful iEli gofating tonic, Dr. Pierce's Fasofite Prescription inparts strength to the whole system, and to the womb and it's appendages, in particular. For overworked, "worn-out," ''run-down," debilitated teachers, mililne g, dress makers, seamstlesses, "shop-girls, ," housekecpers, nursing mothers, and fec ble women generally, "Favorite Pre- scription" is the greatest earthly hcon, being unequaled as an appetizing cor dial and restorative tonic.

The lake which was recently dis covered in the Huachuaca noun tains, by Messrs. Bunch and Rob bins of Ash Canyon, lies about l. 300 feet west of the Ash canyon springs, and discovered by the par ties above mentioned while follow ing up ledge which had been dis covered by them. The roof of the cave was entirely dry and the wa ter of the purest quality, and as clear as crystal. A number of hu- man bones were found, also some relies of ancient pottery. The cave was explored for 300 feet in length, but no estimate of its extent could be arrived at. The fact that it had not been discovered before is dne to the entire absence of any open ing existing, until the discoverers of the ledge had picked away some loose rock at point on the ledge where work had evidently been

Mir. G. D. Jackson, of Durongo, Colorado, was in the city this morn ing. He came overland to Berna-
 lilo with the Rio Granie & Utah Railroad party, arriving Ithere last evening. He reports that distance from Durango to Algodones is 195 miles, and that the route for the proposed road is an excellent one. After leaving Algo6ones, the road would run up the Jemez valley to where the river forks, and then go up the San Pedro to the crest of the continental divide, and thence down the San Juan valley. There Is immense forests of pine timber on the continental divide for dis tance of fifty miles. and along the route is fine bodies of agricultural lands. MT. Jackson says the load would be 2 paying one from the day ofits conpletion.-Citizen.
