Mr., John Keown. the worthy post
master at Keown, Allegheny County,
Penn. says: Chaniberlain's Cough
Remedy sells better than any other"
The reason of this is because it can al
ways be depended upon. Let any one
troubled with a severe cold give 1T a
trial and they will find that the first
dose will relieve the lungs and make
breathing easier, and that its continued
use will free the system of all symptoms
Of the cold. The promptness and GER
tainty of this remedy in the relief and
cure of colds, has won for it many sin
cere friends and made it very popular.

There are many persons in this com.
munlty who are ct times troubled with
collie. or subject to attacks of bowel
complaint. 1t so, they should try
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Di-
nrrhoea Remedy. It will afford almost
immediate relief and when reduced
with water is pleasant to take. If tax.

Strange Customs Of the Eskimo.

Like the Indians, the Eskimo often
kill the old. Often the old are tired
of life and beg to be dispatched. II
food is scarce they are turned out 10
starve, whether they like il or not
The superiluous women are also dis
posed of in this way. Barbarism
shows itself in the treatment of the
dead. The body Of favorite wife or
child is sometimr PROTECTED through
the winter and decently buried in the
spring; but, as ageneral rule, corpses
are dragged short distance from the
village and abandoned TO the dogs.
These savages have no idea Of the
marriage relations. Women are treat.
e3 as chattels The number of wives
q man may have is regulated not by
his possessions, as among our Nor
mons, but by his ability 10 manage
women. One infers from this that
polygamy is not carried on to any
great extent.-Chioago Tribune.

A Million and a Hall.

Two men walked rapidly down Wall
street yesterday afternoon and entered
one Of the prominent banking institu-
tons. They were sturdy, heavy set
men. One carried a small black satchel.
Both kept their eyes roaming from
side TO side. followed them into the
bank. The man with the satchel sat
down, dropping the bag carelessly or
the floor. The other Went into the re
ceiving tellers inclosure. reached
down into his breast pocket and sx-
tracted package of bills. These were
hastily counted, and the two strangers
left. The teller jammsd the bills into
an envelope, sealed :. and pitched it
into safe, after'vard closing the door
in perfunctor, manner. The entire
transaction oco upied less than two
minutes. Thei the teller turned TO
me aud said:
How much do you think was in
that PACKAGE
why, about $500"
Yes. and little more. II contained
one million iour hundred aud forty
odd Thousand"
You don't mean it!'
Yes" BE- said. showing his memo
randa. "lou see, its nearly all in
10000 bills. There is not great dan
ger in carrying notes Of that denomi-
nation, because, except here in New
York, they are so seldom used that
suspicion would at once be directed
toward any one who attempted TO ne
gotiate them"
One thing still puzzled me.
What did the messenger have in
his satchelf"
Nothing but a half brick. The
satchel is carried as blind, to throw
any possible thief off the track. "

What the Whip-poor-wiil Saw.

tell the story as il came TO me
IRON the lips of reputable citizen OF
Austin, Tex: I'm the suburbs Of the
city there stands in what is known as
Horses Pasture a solitary oak, under
which at | o'clock upon dark and
quiet night man was foully mur-
dered. De was in the possession of
money, which he had foolishly dis
piaycd in a saloon, and when he
started for home he was followed by
Two men, who offered to drive him 10
his destination. Too drunk to be eau,
;ious, he accepted and was taken into
their wagon. They drove aimlessly
about until he fell asleep, and then
proceeded to this gaunt oak, under
whose branches the deed of death was
done.
There happened to be in the tree
at the time whip.poor-will that saw
the foul deed, watching each motion
with an interest SO intense that it at.
tracted the attention of the murderers.
And since then upon every night at
the stroke of the bird comes back
to his resting place, and, in note
that is far more plaintive than the
usual utterance of its kind, sends forth
the peculiar 'whip.poor-willN ! that is
the note of its kind. He never fails
his song is heard upon no other time
and no other bird is ever seen upon

A SUCCESSFUL WRITER.
An Article which Attracted General At
tention and brought Nice u. lure.


Ii is not every ambitious writer that
scores success with his first article. |
knew one such, though his name has
now slipped my memory. At that
time ho was county treasurer. For
weeks after his article appeared in
print he was visited by different
neighbors and fellow citizens of that
county, who showed their appreciation
OF his article by leaving with him
sums of money varying from one
solar 10 several hundred dollars in
amount. His theme might have been
called "Discourager Of Hesitancy," al
though il was not, for that is what the
article did-discouraged the hesitancy
of many citizens. The only objc,tio to
tie article as literary production was
that the story had too many heroes.
There were no fewer than l,500 char
acters, and each character was hero
In the story. The title Of the story
was 3D. Lynn Q'Uent Tacqueslist. !"
The title looks Frenchy in print. but
the story was entirely American, and
the scene was laid in the authors own
county.
What makes me remember the story
SO well, though l have forgotten the
name Of the author, is that was one
of the characters mentioned. What
was said about me ran something like
this:
s ~ lot aoietters Ad. c. b. Holding ...... ssiaa
l bought one Of the papers, and
took it home to show the paragraph to
my wife.
was informed by the author, when
went up few days afterward with
my father-in-law Ia congratulate him
vi his success, that the story had net
:ed him something like $3.50, includ.
ing the S3l2j which We left with him
for mentioning my name, and SO
graphically describing my residence.
The story was published at the au-
:sor's expense. Several publishers
offered To print the narrative for what
there was in il, but the author chose
30 pay for the work outright, and de-
clined the offers of the publishers The
end justified his choice.
/ have mentioned this little incident
as an offset TO the theory that no
writer need expect great fame or
great pay at the beginning Of his ca.
reer. This incident also illustrates
another truth. To be successful
writer one must weave into his story
incidents and characters about which
his readers are thinking or in which
they are personally interested. All
the scenes described in this story were
such as possessed real interest for
every reader. Indeed, the same story
is published annually, and never fails
to excite comment and create interest

Tie Tomb Of Gen. Grant.

Night is over the great city, and the
stars, with their silent eyes, look
down upon the tomb by the river, as,
in the long ago, they looked down
there upon a wilderness scene, when
the prows Of Hendrick Hudson moved
through the ever flowing waters. And
there the waters will continue 10 flow
on and on until another great leader
shall arise prepared for the last great
conflict. And this conflict will not be
one Of blood. but intellectual and
moral-one that shall adjust 10 the
use of the telling millions a righteous
measure for their labor in land over
flowing with wealth and abundance
more than sufficient for the comfort
and welfare OF every deserving one,
even TO the very last, the humblest
son and daughter of toll. But victory
will never ensue until character, and
not gold, has become the general meas
ure Of regard, and the race has at
tanned that high moral plane where
no one can WELD vast possessions and
live under the whitening scorn that
would befall him il he lived for him
self alone. .-Howe's Historical Collec-
tons OF Ohio"

The swiftest Running Animal.

In recent number of The Sun saw
statement that the greyhound is prob
ably the swiftest quadruped. But there
is an animal ON the Colorado plains
which is much swifter. tits the small
red prairie fox, commonly known as
''the swift" A good greyhound will
pull down two or three from a bunch
OF antelopes, but the swift escapes
readily from linn. In the chase the
fox will stop still and wait until the
hound is near him. and then easily
distance him, and repeat the same ma
neuver II does not jump, like a
hound, but runs with peculiar Gid
ing motion. Its legs are of medium
length, and muscular.
On one occasion one escaped from a
box trap by the side Of which / was
standing. Near me was a shepherd
dog, who was a good enough runner
70 pick up jack rabbit occasionally.
The dog jumped for the fox as the
latter came out of the trap, yet at q
distance Of $50 feet the fox stopped
still and waited for the dog.
In regard to jack rabbits, they are
not so swift as generally supposed.
Their progress is by tremendous
Jumps. | have measured twenty-four
feet in the snow, in straight line be-
tween successive footprints, and the
animal was going up hill, too. But
in these flights they lose time, and
the hound, wolf and fox, whose feet
strike the ground more constantly,
will readily overtake them.
These facts are from my own expe-
rience, and may be relied on.-Wal.

NOT Quite Empty,

A few years ago, a pleasant, genial
old gentleman called at one of the
city banks in London and requested
an introduction TO one of the junior
clerks. The clerk, who had noticed
the stranger and seen him enter the
managers room, was startled by a
summons to go inside. Once inside
the managers room the clerk found
himself face 10 face with the stranger.
The visitor Immediately broke the ice
by saying that he had the pleasure TO
announce that by the death Of ap
uncle, and in consequence of the death
of several other relatives, this young
gentleman was heir to a baronetcy.
Hardly believing his ears, the clerk
summoned up enough presence of
mind to ask IL it was an empty title.
The visitor Immediately and blandly
informed him that his income was at
least fl0,0 sterling year, with
$50, 600 at bank upon current ac-
count 1t has since been ascertained
that the income is not less than fl6, 900
a year.-San Francisco Argonaut.

elsTER JEAN WAS MARRIED.

When sister Jean was married
The church was gay and green
With flowers and ferns We carried

And praises of her beauty
Came fast from every tongue
"No maid was ever sweeter,

That her heart knew no aching
No taste of his despair;
And no prayer was so earnest
As that he softly said

Supposed Murder.

CHICAGO, March 12-The body Of Roland
Leach, the missing New York commercial
traveller, will probably be found in the river.
Peter OTIS reported last night that while
passing the corner of Michigan and Market
streets after midnight Sunday he found a
we'll dressed man in stupor either from
liquor or drugs lying on the sidewalk. Otis
carried him to a saloon and requested the
proprietor to care for the stranger. While
they were talking the man turned away and
staggered across the street to where gang
OF five or six fellows stood outside of no.
torious barrel house. He was given cor.
dial welcome by this gang and almost mme.
diately was led away by them. A photo
graph OF the missing man ia an exact like
ness OF the unfortunate who fell into the
clutches of the barrel house thugs, and there
ia no doubt that Leach was murdered and
thrown into the river.

Murat Hslstead in an interview in Now York
yesterday advocated 70 rming new black State
out OF the Indian Territory and Oklahoma, to
which all the discontinued Southern negroes
could migrate and govern themselves. He thinks
the plan practical, and that it would help the re-
publican party. With the new State he would
admit Idaho and Wyoming, so as to make them
count for the republicans in the next election. He
added "You see New York city and the Confed-
eracy will not re able to elect democratic Presi-
dent Our party should be able to elect Presi-
dent without tho aid of New York its allies, the
southern States. We have to fight the Confed-
