"Out West" says q theatrical manager,
they don't always do things In New York
style. We played at . little theatcr in So
lem, Ore, two weeks ago, and when I asked
an old man with long whiskers, who was
a sort Of general factotum about the theater,
what time they usually rang up the curtain,
he said, shifting a quid Of tobacco in his
mouth: We'll, We don't have no reg'iar
time; we gently begin when tho folks be-
gin to stomp 50 we waited until our
audience got there and 'stomped,' which
was about O'ciock-St. Louis Republic.

SOME ODD Remedies.

How AGuo was Treated and Cured In b
Days Of Yore.
Ague was much more prevalent in tho
old days, when 50 many thousand acres Of
what is now good arabic land were lying in
waste marshes, reeking with malarial
vapor. But the sufferer was not without
choice Of other remedies which, II their
efficacy was at all in proportion to their
simplicity, left little to be desired. II he
were unable to obtain the chips Of q glib
bet, or objected to them on superstitious
grounds, many other courses were open to
him. Thus, he is directed to have q cake
baked OF sailed bran; while the fit Is on he
is to break up the cake and give the pieces
to q dog. The disease will then leave him
and stick to poor Tray. Another authority
recommends him to seal up q spider in o
.gOOse-Quill and hang the quill round his
neck, allowing it to reach as low as the pit
of the stomach. Aspen leaves were good
against ague. And this reminds me of one
curious principle which appears to have
Influenced the lcech strongly in his choice
of remedies-the SO called "Doctrine OF
Signatures" To the old physician all
plants seemed to possess such curative
powers as would render him valuable as.
sistance If he only knew the ailments in
which q particular plant, or part of a plant,
might be prescribed with propriety. His
peculiar method Of reading between the
lines in the book Of nature Soon enabled
him to s~urmount<his difficulty to his own
satisfaction, il not to the advantage Of the
patient. Tho shape Of q leaf or flower, its
color and q hundred other frifles were
gladly accepted as indications of tho medic
inal virtues upon which he could most
confidently rely. Thus, nettle tea was sure
to prove helpful in q case Of nettle rash;
the heart-shaped leaves Of the ordinary
wood sorrell were remedial in cardiac dis
ease; and tprmcric, on account of its deep
yellow color, was Of great reputation in tho
treatment Of jaundice. Is it any wonder,
then, that the quivering leaves Of the aspen
were esteemed as O cure for ague.-Au the
Year Round.

\ North End Woman Gets Into Trouble
and Then Pays Out.
About 9 o'clock Thursday night two
gentlemen from the North End called on
Squire Davis, and one of them stated his
case 10 the Justice in sub5tsnce a. follows:
On that day, or a few.daya previous, he had
bought a male dog pup of the water spaniel
species, about six weeks old, Of citizen
and ueighbor, aud paid bin two dollars
for the same. By and By some one else
wanted to buy thepup end offered him five
dollars for il, bat the dog had been taken
home by lis FIST purchaser, and
the question was how to get
the pup back again and sell 1t
for the FIVE dollars. The wife Of the first
owner OF the dog was equal to the occasion.
L IS alleg she deliberately went Hp to the
house where tbs pup was and stole it out Of
the box Ia the yard, snd took it straight
home, and was about dispOsing OF the pup
when owner number two put in his APP
psarance and stopped al further proceed
iDgs of the sale. The pup was then spirit
ed away 80 owner number two cOnldn't
find il. Then owner number two came
down and stated his case to the justice. A
warrant for the larceny OF the pup was
Issued snd the lady was put under arrest
by the officer for her appearance before the
Justice at p. N. yesterday. The husband
saw the situation hie wife was in and return
ed the dog and paid all costs to avoid worse
complications.

wss asked, among other things, whether
he knew anything about certain package
of 81. 500, which had been tskeE from the
hank vault prior 10 the stealing of the
S24 600 In reply TO this, the prisoner
sand he knew nothing. absolutely, Of the
81, 500, as the $24, 600 package he had
taken WAS his first and only offense in that
line
The mystery of where this additional
money went will probably never be solved.
Many interesting stories, most of which
defy verifcation, are related of and con-
corning the robbery. One ia that within
day or two sftsr the money was deposit
ed by young SeybOld in the Bank of the
Ohio Valley, two or three of the $500
packages of bills found their way,
through business channels, back into the
vault of the Bank of Wheeling, bat Of
course they were not recognized By the
persons handling the funds.
The unaccountable actions Of Seybold,
in scattering the stolen money about the
banks, instead of keeping it secreted, as
Eould be natural, has been very generally
commented upon as being very remsrks-
bic procedure, under the circumstances.
