Proposals for Count House Bonds.

Mat. McCabe, of New Brunswick, H., offers to pay five dollars to any person troubled with bloody Aux, who will take Chamberlain's Collie Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy according to directions and does not get we'll in the shortest possible time. One half of a 9 cent bottle of this remedy cured him of bloody Aux, after he had tried other medicines and the pre- scriptions of physicians without bene- fit. MT. McCabe is perfectly safe in making this offer, as more than a thousand bottles of this remedy are sold each day and it has never been known to fail in any case of collie, cholera morbus, dysentery, diarrhoea or bloody Aux, when the plain printed directions were followed.

Venus and the Earth.


 In the fundamental element of size, Venus and the earth are almost alike, our earth be- ing 1900 miles in diameter and Venus 7,500. The force of gravity on the surface of the latter is very nearly nine-tenths of what it is with us. Its density is almost the same frac- tion of that of the earth. These facts show that if transported to the surface of Venus we should feel more at home, so far as some essential features of experience are concerned, than on any other planet known tous We should weigh just about nine-tenths of our present weight, and should find distances bearing much the same ratio to our muscular power of walking that they do in this world; while in all probability the surface rocks and earth if such be formed there, would be com pacted and constructed like those we daily see around us. This would not be the case on planets so much smaller than the earth as Mercury or Mars, or so much larger as Jupi- ter Saturn or Neptune.
 Again, the year on Venus would be about 225 days in length, good deal more like what we have on the earth than is the case on any other planet. In the length of the day we should find a still more homelke experience, as the difference would be imperceptible ex- cept to careful observation. Venus rotates in g hours 21 minutes 2S seconds, and the earth in g hours 56 minutes seconds The day, of course, depends little on the motion of the sun in the sky, but the difference be- tween this as seen on our earth and from Ve- nus would not appreciably affect the similar ity of the days ill each. These ikenesses to the length of our day and year and to our worlds density would cause similarity, in all probability, in mountain form and vege- tation. In fact, 50 far, Venus is nearly the twin sister of our world

Lonely Death of Barney Connolly.

Captain Barney W. Connolly, an old resident of the coast and a mem Der of the Grand Army, was found dead in his room at 631 Sacramento street at noon yesterday, September 6. He had recently drawn his benson and had gone on protracted spree, which is supposed to have ended his life. He was single man, 55 years of age and a native of Ireland. He was miner for many years and once owned controlling interest in the Crispin mine, next to the rich Silver King mine, in Arizona, but he never realized much from the property be- fore 1t passed into other hands. The Coroner will investigate the cause of his death.-S. F. Chronicle.
 Dr. F. D. Larke, of Rogers City Michigan, says the epidemic ot last year in Presque Isle County, in which so many persons lost their lives, was choleric dysentery instead of cholera as first reported. He used Chamber lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and says it succeeded, where all other remedies failed. Not a single case was lost in which it was used This Remedy is the most reliable and most successful medicine known for collie, cholera morbus, dysentery, diarrhoea and bloody Aux. 9 and 50 cent bottles for sale by Thos.

The Kings Daughters.

"She walks erect thr0i dangers manifold
| While many sink and fall on either hand:
She breads not Summers heat, nor Winters
cold,
| For both are subject to the Kings command.
| She need not be afraid OF any thing
Because she is the daughter OF King"
Lest there should be many dear daugh-
| tiers of the King who have never heard OF
this "Royal Legion of the Kings Daugh-
ters' which is binding together, womens
hearts and lives for Christ, and inspiring
to effort Gin His name," this little record is
offered of the sweet work which began
two years ago, in New York City.
Ten consecrated women taking the 10th
Psalm as their foundation; SIN His
Name" as their motto; THE World
for Jesus" as their end and aim,
organized themselves into sister
| hood which now numbers twenty thou
sand. Each daughter tries to interest
circle of others-ten if possible in this
loving service for the King, choosing any
line of work to which duty or talent seems
to call. All is done 'anaort Christi and
the bit of purple ribbon with silver Maltese
Cross, which was adopted as the badge OF
the Order, is constant reminder Of their
allegiance to their King
1t is the highest desire of the Kings
daughter to be 'sall glorious Within"
whose adjoining let it be the hidden man of
the heart in that which is not corruptible,
even the ornament of meek and quiet
spirit, which is in the sight of God, of
great price
One writes that she belongs to believ-
ing ten, who claim Gods promises, accord
ing to His word; and to praying circle.
Another circle takes for its motto, "What-
soever He saith unto you, do it."
A circle of young girls call themselves
the Tongue Guards" and another the
Home Biighteners." Others are 'The
Helping Ten," "Peacemakers, Clancy
Sick Ten," and SO on, till as one has well
said, s'Who can tell where the limit lies of
the fruitfulness of this order, whose foun-
dation is Jesus Christ Our Lord in whose
atonement alone we rely for our salvation.
At the beginning of this third year of
the organization, 1888, the beloved Presi-
dent writes: 1--WE extend the hand of
fellowship as Daughters of the King to our
brothers as the kings Sons" Our prayer
for you, as we greet you thus, is that ye
may be blameless and harmless, the Sons of
God without rebuke in the midst of a
crooked and perverse nation, among whom
ye shine as lights in the world.

Justice Should Be for All.

The men of wealth, the men who control
these great corporations-these great mills
give millions away in ostentatious charity
They send missionaries to foreign lands
They endow schools and universities and
allow the men who earned the surplus to die
in want I believe in no charity that is
founded on robbery. I have no admiration
for generous highwaymen or extravaganza
pirates. At the foundation of charity should
be justice. Let these men whom others have
made wealthy give something to the work
men-something to those who created thei..
fortunes. This would be one step in the right
direction. Do not let it be regarded as char
ity-let it be regarded as justice.-Robert

A Tarantula Causes a Panic.

reigned and the ugly insect had all the pas

corralled and bottled up. MIR. Nevin was
forced to take himself and his pet off at the
