Sore Ewes

The eyes are always in sympathy with
the body, and afford an excellent index
of its condition. When the eyes become
weak. and the lids intlamed and sore, it
is an evidence that the system has
become disordered by Scrofula, for
which Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best
known remedy.
Scrofula, which produced painful in
fiammation in my eyes, caused me much
suffering fog n number of years. BY tho
advice of a physician commenced taking
Ayers Sarsaparilla. After using this
medicine a short time was completely
Cured
My eyes are now in splendid condi-
ton, and am as well and strong as ever.
Mrs. William Gage, Concord, N. II.
For a number of years I was troubled
with a humor in my eyes and was unable
to obtain any relief until commenced
using Ayers Sarsaparilla. This medi-
cine has effected a complete cure, and /
believe it to be the best Of blood puri-
tiers. &C. Il. Upton, Nashua, N. II.
From childhood, and until with few
months, have been afflicted with Weak
and Sore Eyes. l have used for these
complaints, with beneficial results,
aver IL u
great blood purifier. Mrs. &. Phillips,
Glover, VT
I suffered for year with inflamma-
ton in my left eye. Three ulcers formed
on the ball, depriving me of sight, and
causing great pain. After trying many
other remedies, to no purpose, was final
ly induced to use Ayers Sarsaparilla.
BY Taking
three bottles of this medicine I have been
entirely cured. Ny sight has been re-
stored, and there is no sign of inflamma-
ton, sore, or ulcer in my eye. - Kendall
7. Bowen, Sugar Tree Ridge, Ohio.
My daughter, ten years old, was afflict-
ed with Scrofulous Sore Eyes. During
the last two years she never saw light Of
any kind. Physicians of the highest
standing exerted their skill, but with no
permanent success. On the recommen-
dation of friend purchased bottle Of
Ayers Sarsaparilla, which my daughter
commenced taking. Before she had used
the third bottle her sight was restored.
Her crre is complete. - w. +. Suther-

 "Probably you do not know," said a former employee at the White House, to a Star reporter a few days ago, ssthat the National hotel furnished the executive mansion with the most of its attendants and help nearly cen- tury ago. Perhaps three-fourths of the doorkecpe-s, messengers, stewards, walters, etc, came from there. In the summer of 1844," he continued, "Mr. Samuel Coleman, of the Astor house, New York. succeeded MT. Gadsby at tho National. MT. Coleman brought his furniture and help from New York in 6 schooner by sea, and he opened about November 1. The house from the first took . firm hold upon the travelling public, and soon it was filled with the best class of the sojourners, including General Armstrong and many officers of the army and navy and members of congress. Mr. Cole man had the best class of employees, and among them were . number ol gentlemanly looking young men from New York, who were as efficient q handsome.

A Big Snake Story.
New 0rleana picAyune,

Now Orleans ficAy0ne,
 |, alone, one day In June, was fish. ing on the hanks of tho Bayou Eacs- tan, under the shade ot an oak. In north Louisiana, having left my sail-boat several hundred yards from me in or der to escape the hot sun,
 had hardly seated myself conven- icntly when dark object was sccn approaching on the surface of tho water. At first thought 1t was an alligator, but on closer observation discovered 1t to be an enormous creep- ing serpent. When this huge mon- ster was within few yards of the spot where was seated I gathered some stones about tho size of goose eggs anal struck him eleven times, and, strange to relate, the blows did not appear to worry him to any degree, and he never left the surface oi tho water, but continued unooncernedly at slow pace up stream.
 immediately left my rod and reel and hastily scampered to my boat. It was only question of several minutes before WAS in miistrcam In hot pur- suit of this object, which was coon overtaken. When within close prox- unity noticed it to be blind and ap- parently harmless. Fearing, however, an attack, seized my rifle. and, talk ing aim at it's head, fired. Tho bullet lodged in the collar bone and broke his neck. Thcrc was a slight move- ment of tho tail, little slashing of tho water, and all was over, the monster floating down stream. Curious 10 learn the species of this peculiar rep- tile, made a lasso from a stout rope which had In my boat and throw 1t around It's body, thus enabling mo to tow 1t ashore.
 A critical examination developed tho fact that had captured a monster snake never before seen by me. lt had head resembling a long, funnel shaped horn, the body being similar to small kegs joined together. What made matters moro 4ncer, each keg had bung- hole (some oi tho bungs heinz on top and some on the sides.) Haul. Ing the tail on the bank (which was by no means an easy task), out of curiosity to learn the contents of the kegs, l opened one of the hung- holes by means of jack knife, and found it contained very pure refined oil.
 Just at this juncture my uncle, who is an old fisherman and has been a member of the city council, came up, and, the minute his eyes fell on the captive, with frantic gesticulations he exclaimed that 1 had captured yeri- table porpoise snake, seldom seen in these waters.
 The oil In the kegs ] found 10 be pure, unadulterated porpolse oil. l had twelve forty. uine- gallon oil bar reis sent to the bank and filled them all. Tho oil was shipped to the most extensive watch making establish ment in this country and brought a handsome sum.
 By way of explanation, would say that this snake obtains the oil by plunging its sharp head into the side of the porpoise and drains every drop of oil from its body.
 The snake had fifty three kegs and was sixty mine feet long.
 still have possession of the kegs and hnngs (thc head having decayed), which prize.
 Should any one doubt the veracity of this statement, can exhibit the kegs and bungs.

 "I shall never forget sight in the east room when Sunday school pro- cession called to pay their respects.

Quackenbush has been known to the
people of North" Idaho for n good
many years now, and time only adds
new laurels to his massive brow. In his
latest venture--as assOci Ate editor Of the
stars and Bdrs-he has shown himself
nearly so capable and strong journalist
as his predeCessor-the illustrious Bee
son. AS Il lawyer and district attorney
for Nez Perez county he made himself
solid with the republicans, and ~ he is
to-day de fdcto assistant u. s. district at.
torney for Idaho under Jim GIawiey. he
has, no doubt, equally endeared himself
to the democrats of North" Idaho. 1t
is Il sure short that his reputation as ed
itor oithe stars and BmS will insure him
the vote of every ex-confederate who
fought and lived under the "Bonnie
Blue Flag" This alone will insure his
election. His other qualifications are
that he will do less work and draw his
pay with better grace than any other
man in Idaho, aud that there is no
doubt that every bill he will Introduce
will be quashed, as he has had great eX-
perience in that line as county attorney
of Nez Perez county. By all means the

Editor, there are smaller fry like Poe,

weak kneed democratic stool pigeons
(who play into the hands Of the radical

as leaders of the movement, and who
are gratilied at the mere mention of
their names as possible candidates for
congressional honors, in the same man
ner that Brown, Howe, and that class of
Pnritans are sometimes alluded to as
able workers in the secession business,
by those who use them rs mediums for
the accomplishment Of a given purpose.
