SOME CLOSE CALLS.
Remarkable Escapes of Adam vandever,
Famous Western Hunter.

Adam Vandever, "the hunter of Tai
lula" who died not long ago, made
some remarkable escapes in the course
of his career. On one occasion he had
fired ut large buck, near the brow of
precipice some thirty feet high. On
seeing the buck drop he took it for
granted he was about to die, when he
approached the animal for the purpose
of cutting its throat. To his great sur
prise, however. the buck suddenly
sprang to his feet and made tremen-
dous rush at the hunter, with Il view of
throwing him off the ledge. But what
was more remarkable, the animal sue
ceeded in its effort, though not until
Vandever had obtained "a fair hold of
the bucks antlers, when the twain
performed somersault into the pool
below. The buck made its escape, and
Vandever was not seriously injured
in any particular part. About Il month
afterward he killed n buck which had
a bullet wound in the lower part of its
neck, whereupon he concluded that he
had finally triumphed over the animal
which had given him the unexpected
duclSing.
But the most remarkable escape
which old Vandever ever experienced
happened in this way: He had en-
camped upon one of the loftiest noun
tains in Union County. 1t was near
the twilight hour, and he had heard the
howl of wolf. With IL view to ascer-
tanning the direction whence it came,
he climbed upon an immense boulder
which stood on the brow OF steep
hillside. While standing upon this
boulder he suddenly felt swinging
sensation and to his astonishment he
found that he was about to make a
fearful plunge into the ravine, half q
mile below him. AS fortune would
have it, the limb of an oak tree dropped
over the rock. and as the rock started
from its totterish foundation he seized
the limb and thereby saved his life.
The dreadful crashing of the bowlder,
as it descended the mountain side, came
to the hunters ear while he was sus-
pended in the air. and by the time it
had reached the bottom he dropped or
the very spot which had been vacated
by the bowlder. Chicago journal.

OUR FIRST PRESIDENT.
Washington at His Inauguration In New
York n Century Ago,

YORK century ago
Washington was dressed in full
suit of dark brown cloth manufactured
in Hartford, with metal buttons with
an eagle on them, and "with steel
hilted dress sword, white silk stock
ings, and plain silver buckles.
His hair was dressed and powdered in
the fashion of the day and worn in n
bag and solitaire" Chancellor Robert
II. Livingston, one of the committee of
five TO draft the Declaration of Inde-
pendendence, thirteen years before,
was dressed in full suit of black
cloth and wore the robe of Office. just
before the oath was to be administered
it was discovered that no Bible was in
Federal Hall. Luckily Livingston, a
Grand Master of Free Masons, knew
that there was one at st. Johns Lodge
in the City Assembly Rooms near by,
and messenger was dispatched to
borrow the Bible, which is to-day the
property of st. Johns Lodge No. 1, the
third Oldest Masonic lodge in the United
States.
Secretary Otis, of the Senate, held
before him red velvet cushion, upon
which rested the open Bible of st.
Johns Lodge. "You do solemnly
swear," said Livingston, "that you will
faithfully execute the Office of Presi-
dent of the United States, and will, to
the best of your ability, preserve, pro-
tect, and defend the Constitution of the
United States" 81 do solemnly swear
replied Washington, "that will faith
fully execv g the Office of President of
the United States, and will, to the
best of my ability, preserve, protect,
and defend the Constitution of the
United States" He then bowed his
head and kissed the sacred Book, and
with the deepest feeling uttered the
words: $50 help me Godr' The Chan
cellor then proclained: "Long live
George Washington, President of the
United Statesnh The instant discharge
of thirteen cannon followed, and with
loud repeated shouts and huz2as the
people cried, "God bless our Washing.
ton; long live our beloved PRESIDENT
The President bowed to the people, and
the air again rang with acclamations.
Washington, followed by the company
at the balcony, now returned to the
Senate Chamber, where he took his
seat and the Senators and Representa-
tives their seats. When Washington
arose to speak all stood and listened
with eager and marked attention"
After delivering his address, the
President, accompanied by the Vice
President, the Speaker, the two houses
of Congress, and all who attended the
Inauguration ceremony, proceeded on
foot to st. Paurs church. The same
order was preserved as in the process
sion from the Presidents house to
Federal Hall. The military made &
good figure" as they lined the street
near the church. The services in the
church were conducted by the Chap.
lain of the Senate, the Rt Rev. DR..
Samuel Provost, Bishop of the Episco-
pal church of New York.
After prayers had been read and the
"Te Deum' sung, Washington entered
the State coach and was escorted home.

Missouri River Steam Boats.

Very large steamboats, are no longer
built on the Mississippi, so that but
few of the class which were once so
common are now seen on the river.
The burning of the White, Richardson
and Kate Adams wiped out the three
last of the great floating palaces of the
Lower Mississippi. Their places have
never been filed, and there is no in
centive to build any more of the same
sort. They were immense boats for
passenger traffic, and as fine us the
ocean steamers. But the railroads
made them Improbable. During the
last two years of their service they lost
money, because they could not get the
passenger trade. The railroads had
entered their territory and deprived
them OF the principal source of income.
The boats are now forced into narrow
channels, and must gs where the rail
roads can not reach. Hence they navi-
gate In small streams, which wero
formerly despised, and where large
boats could not go. This state of
affairs requires shallow keels and light
draught. Small, swift vessels are now
used whero the competition is close.

How John Chinaman Prays.

When John Chinaman goes to pray

"allee samee Melikan man." he stands
on carpet in front of the high altar
on which sits the life-sized, gorgeously
dressed god, joss" In his hands he
holds two pieces of wood, round on one
side and fiat on the other. After say
ing his prayers he drops these on the
carpet, and according as they fall he
knows whether or not the prayer is
answered. If both sticks fall on their
flat side the omen is very bad; If one
falls on the fiat, the other on its round
side, his prayer is granted; if both fall
on their round sides it is sign of be-
ing partially granted. Another way
of praying is by means OF small strips
OF red paper. on which the prayer is
printed, and then pinned to the wall
near the door, II Chinese woman

questions Here is the letter:
my Dear Editor:-For several years past
have been the recipient of several pam
phlets issued from time to time by Messrs
H. II. Warner & Co., of Rochester N. Y,
which, in addition to containing an extern
sive treatise upon kidney disease, its origin
usual symptoms and growth, also includes
numerous testimonials from parties whose
fac -simile signatures are attached there
to, attesting the statement that they
have been individually relieved by the use
of Warmers Safe Cure which is prepared by
the above firm, for the use of persons so
flicted. Now, Mr.. Editor, would like to
know If the statements made by those par-
ties who testify to the great good which
Warmers Safe Cure has done them, can be
relied upon. They seem honest enough

him of Bright's Disease"
Each pamphlet which / have received
contains hundred or more testimonials,
and the same one does not appear in more
than one pamphlet, so it seems that there
are u good many who are being helped by

that the doctors are treating too many per-

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING.
Its Development and the Benefit IL Brings
to Dealer and Buyer.

Its Development and the Benefit IL Bring,
to Dealer and Buyer.
| The development of the modern news.
paper has had no more. remarkable eff.
feet than the change it has produced in
the prevailing IDEAS with regard to adj
vertising. Twenty years ago the trades
man who made known what wares he
had TO sell, except in the modest and
general way, was looked upon with
some degree of suspicion. and the pro-
| fessional man who offered his services
by public advertisement was con-
demned outright as necessarily quacl1.
The change from that day to this has
been almost complete, and yet it has
come about very gradually, and there
are some trades and professions in
which traces of the old traditions still
remain.
Long after the dealers in many kinds
of merchandise had learned the value
of advertising and had profited by it,
there were almost as many more still
governed by the ancient prejudice who
preferred to perish in respectable Sc
clusion rather than invite the public
to come to them. This was the case
not only with lawyers and doctors, but
with jewellers, tailors, dressmakers,
and many other trades that for some
reason were supposed to flourish only
in the dark. The fashionable tailors
long clung to the idea that advertising
was not respectable, and there are e
few old-timers yet who can not bring
themselves to any thing more undigni-
fled than private invitations to their
customers, and look on aghast while
younger rivals fin the columns of the
newspapers with attractive descriptions
of their goods and gather in the custom
that used TO go to them.
The thing to be particularly noticed
is how completely newspaper advertis-
ing has been separated from its associa-
tion with an inferior class of trade. The
great advertisers now are the leading
houses not alone in the extent of their
business, but in its recognized charac-
ter The finest goods of every sort, the
most fashionable clothing for men and
women, the most costly furniture, car
pets and ornaments, whatever pur-
chaser can possibly want that is rich
and fine as well rs what is useful and
cheap, he expects to find described for
him in the paper.
And the result of this is beneficial
both for the dealers and for the public.
The largest and best advertisers are
everywhere those that do the largest
and best trade, while the facilities for
shopping have wonderfully increased
and the people buy more and better
goods than they ever did before They
are better dressed their homes are better
furnished, they enjoy more of the COM
forts and Injuries of life than any pre-
vious period, and one main cause of
this is in the general qnickening of
trade that naturally results from in
telligent advertising. - Philadelphia
