A WOLF FOSTE R.MoTHER.
Capture of Child with All the Instinct

Capture of Child with All the 1nsHncts
 of an Animal.
 Some twenty months ego nearo woman living on the banks of tho Brafos, says three-months' old baby from the pallet where she had left 1t lying during an ab- sence of few minutes. Search was made for the infant, but no trace of 1t could be discovered, and the whole affair was wrapped in profound mystery until few days ago.
 /; A party of gentlemen were recently riding through somewhat unfrequented portion of the thick woods that border the river, when they were startled by seeing strange object run across the road. Think several of the party were about to fire on 1t, when the one who had been nearest to 1t called to them not to shoot, but to ride tt down instead. This was done with dif1 culty, for the underbrush was thick, but at last the creature was overtaken in 0epso copse. It was half running, half leaping, first on all fours and then nearly upright
 The gentlemen dismounted and attempted to lay hands upon 1t, but chatterinR fright fully and savagely biting and scratching 1t broke away from them. They could see body was covered with long, tangled hair, and the nails of the feet and hands so long and curved as to be claws. It ran with in- credible swiftness, getting over fallen trees and dense masses of creepers at a rate that obliged its pursuers to exert them selves to the utmost to keep 1t in view.
 It finally ran into an immense oak tree that lay uprooted in the ground and the hol- low trunk of which formed yawning cav ern. By the dint of poking in the tree with sticks the party succeeded in driving out an old wolf, which immediately took to it's heels. It was not pursued, as 1t was not the object sought. This, too, was finally dislodged and lassoed with lariat made of hides. It bit and scratched so A6fcely that 1t was thought advisable not to approach 1t, so 1t was half dragged, half led home with the lariat about it's neck, bowling and yell ing like a wolf.
 The fact of the negro woman's child hav- ing disappeared was well known to all, and 1t was decided that this must be the child. The old wolf had evidently stolen 1t, and for some reason adopted 1t as it's own. The mother declared that this conjecture was correct, claiming that her child had had a malformation of one ear, which peculiarly was found in the monster. It b kept tied up in her cabin, suffering no one to lay hands upon 1t, and Is fed on raw meat, as 1t refuses to touch any other food. The woman has hopes that she may yet re awaken the human in 1t, but, In the mean. time, she is reaping g harvest from the | crowds who como daily from all parts o1 the county to inspect the strange creature

misfjon bill and for house file 373, be-
cause you know very well that you,
with the little coterie Of railroad
senator's, after embarrassing legisla-
tion. and obstructing these measures
al winter through, finally, all voted
for them, because you and the rail-
roads saw the people would not be
trined with, and you accepted these
measures finally out Of fear you would
get worse dose II you did not take
this. So you can have no credit for
these votes. They were wholly in
the interest OF the roads and not Of
the people.
When Mr.. Hutchison has answered
these questions truthfully, as he must
for the records Of the senate and
house will convict him il he evades
or falsifies, then the people can say
whether he il worthy Of their conf

servant OF theirs that he shall be re-

Weather Predictions.

In the old almanacs, at about this
season of the year, we used to read,
Look out for squalls" Modern al
MANAGES might utilize their space and
make predictions which would be
true to the letter should they advise
the farmers to look out for the class
Of men who have been developed by
our modern capitalistic system.
Their moral natures are utterly
perverted. They think Of the masses
g ignorant, vicious, easily duped,
more easily corrupted, fit only to be
used as instruments and agents for
the benefit and exaltation OF those
who can manipulate them for their
own selfish purposes. They have no
confidence in mankind and no faith
In virtue. They sheer at it and scoff
the idea Of men being governed by
principle. They align themselves
with the strongest political party
and in advance are upon the streets
proclaiming their undying devotion
to It, and through the press and in
public gatherings, wherever they
can be seen or heard Of men. The,
always strive to push themselves in
to places OF trust and profit. OF all
such let the people beware, and from
them ''Good Lord, deliver u.s. The
tendency of the times has been to
the development Of this cast OF char
acter, and it is a menace to the per
Manence Of free government.

The Monetary Commission

Appointed by Congress in 1875 made
its report to that body March End,

signed by two senators and two Rep
resentatives-a democrat and a re-
publican from each. The senators
were John p. Jones and Louis V. b.
gy. the representatives were Geo.
Willard and Richard p. Bland, with
VIM. s. Groesbeck, expert. The re-
port in full made several hundred
pages full OF solid meat that the hard

to digest or answer 50 they virtually
suppressed it by only publishing q
few copies.
Here are few of the nuts they
could not crack, so they sought to
bury them in the grave of silence
and oblivion.
"A shrinking volume of money and
falling prices always have had and
always must have tendency to con-
centrate wealth, to enrich the few,
andto impoverish and degrade the
many. This tendency is subtle, act
i've and portentious throughout the
world to-day.
while the general purchasing
power of silver has thus been main.
tanned, it would be an inexcusable
blunder to deprive it Of its paying
power, AS money, to check the fall
ing prices which is now striking q.
with palsy the limbs of commerce
and industry.
1T will be reassuring to remember
that no fall in the value of metallic
money nor resulting rise in prices
has ever proved other than q bles
sing to the world.
General prosperity and genera
fall of prices never did, and neve
can exist.
1.-THE governments of Europe wer'
invoked by Chevalier and others t.
prevent the anticipated depreciation
in the value of money, or, in othe
words, the anticipated rise in genera
prices, by the decentralization, not o

He Sent Eighty Miles for It.


Milo Page, Of San Bernarnino, Cal,
on Sept. Z, writes as follows:
In 1858 / was taken with bilious col
ic, being then seventeen years old.
Yearly attacks followed, and at
length they became more frequent.
In 1872, while residing in Oakland, /
suffered severely from this disease,
and was informed by DR.. Pinkerton
that it was chronic and incurable.
While Frustrated by a severe attack
a friend induced Inc to take q large
dose Of Walkers Vinegar. Bitters,
Old Style. probably four wine glasses
full. In less than half an nOur / was
free from pain. | followed this up
with three wine-glasses a day-OLa.
! used up the bottle.
For over seven years / was perfect;
ly free from bilious collie, but in the
fall of 10 was engaged in mining in
Nevada, and the coarse food l ate
brought on a sharp attack. l was
far from any drug store, but ] dis.
patched courier eighty miles for a
bottle of Vinegar Bitters.
When he returned was unable to
speak, but l put the bottle tony lips.
took two swallows, and in twenty
minutes the pain left me. / finished
the bottle as before, taking three
doses daily, and for nine years after.
ward was perfectly free from the
dreaded disease.
A month ago it returned, but try.
ing the old remedy, Vinegar Bitters,
was cured, as before.
write this because you do not es.
pecially recommend Vinegar Bittert
for bilious collie. Only those who
have suffered the agonies of this dis
ease, can understand what boon a
sure cure il, and in Old Style Vinegar
Bitters yon have the best, and per
haps the only real remedy known.
In reply to Mr.. Page we will SOY
that Vinegar Bitters cures hundred
of diseases; we have not the space tt
catalogue them, and perhaps il W.
published them those unacQuainteG
by experience with our valuable rem
edy might doubt its efficacy still, y,
SO many worthless preparations ar,
thrust on the market and pulled il
SO many entravagant ways.
The fact remains, however, tina
those who have been accustomed tx
take Vinegar Bitters for any length
Of time, are hale and hearty, whethe
they are young or old. Those VIII,
doubt and fail to take it are likely t,
fall into all manner of ailments, grea
and small. Vinegar Bitters, both Oh,
and New Styles, keep those who tax
them fresh, fair, healthy and young
looking, and when we ono
gain q customer, we keep them al
ways, like Mr.. Page, who sent eight
miles for Vinegar Bitters, and 1t wa
almost ride for life.
The New Style Vinegar Bitters is
beautiful, clear, dark reddish color
and extremely pleasant to the taste
