A DOCTORS REBUKE.
Immensely More Mischief than 10 Gem
orally Suspected.

DR.. King, the eminent medical writer, in q
learned disquisition on our national com
plaint, constipation, says
The great quantity of cathartic pills, etc..
which are annually swallowed by the people Of
this country has been productive Of immensely
more mischief than is generally suspected
True, the physic unloads the bowels, but in SO
doing its action tends to diminish the tone Of
the intestines so that, instead of removing the
costiyeness, it aggravates 1t, leaving the bowels
In more torpid condition.
Joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla was designed to
Ill Just such contingency as the doctors ar
raignment anticipates, viz: instead of being a
powerful mineral purgative, it is mild vege-
table laxative, that, owing to its solvent and
gentle stimulating properties, is SO certain a re-
lief in constipation that it has been given away
to hundreds, not to be paid for unless it was of
positive benefit 1t Itreplaces constipation almost
Immediately with a natural easy habit, and is
10 mild that, unlike drastic purgatives, 1t can
be taken indefinitely with perfect freedom and
safety.

A Nose from q Cats Ribs.

A Decatur young woman has recently
been operated upon successfully in a
manner that will excite surgeons. The
patient is a young woman who, when a
child, had her nose broken, and as q re-
suit Of the decay of the bones the bridge
of the nasal organ had been completely
lost. The patient was etherized and a
transverse incision about three-quarters
Of an inch long made directly between
the eyes, extending down the bone. A
sman chisel was then introduced and all
the soft parts separated from the bones,
from the top Of the nose to the forehead,
and ahnut oy,a inch on either side of the
median line out on the cheeks.

San Francisco in 40.

1t was in the afternoon of the sixth of
July when we entered the Golden Gate.
The hills about the bay were dressed in the
arid garb of the dry midsummer. Until
Telegraph Hill was rounded no habitation
or sign of civilization was visible save the
dilapidated earthworks at Fort Point and
the few crumbling adobe buildings that
then constituted "the Presidio," or old
Mexican military post. Alcatraz Island,
now covered with Notifications and bar
racks and crowned with a lighthouse at its
summit, was then naked and white with
the guano of the myr:ads of cormorants,
gulls, and pelicans that nestled and Matched
their broods upon it. The hills of Contra
Costa and the plains at their feet were rank
with wild oats, and were the pasture
grounds of herds of cattle. Here and there
across the broad and beautiful bay the
whitewashed walls of an adobe ranch house
were visible. Rounding Telegraph Hill,
however, there was change of scene. AS
the harbor of San Francisco opened up be-
fore us a whole fleet of vessels of every
| class and description were seen at anchor.
Clearly some kind of taisman was drawing
hither the commerce of the world, although
on shore, as viewed from the ships deck,
one saw but a few adobe buildings, relics OF
Mexican methods and habits, some small
wooden structures here and there and tents
large and small dotting the hllsides and
beach. Landing on the rocks at Clarke
Point, a spur of Telegraph Hill Qor no
wharf then exsted), we skirted along the
cove round into the center of the town,
then fairly embraced within the space now
covered by the few blocks bordering upon
the Plaza or Portsmouth Square. A locality
more replete with hustle and excitement
than this then was never existed Gam.
bling and gamblers were in full possession
of the field Tents were crowded with peo
pie surrounding the tables where the Mexi
| can game of monte" and other so-called
banking games were in full blast These
were the first and most conspicuous fea
lures Of the scene. The mercantile estab
lshments were thronged with men fitting
out for " the diggings." Activity prevailed
everywhere, occasioned mainly by the in
Vulnerable expeditions and squads of meI
about to depart for the mining region. Fo
aside from the gambling fraternity, and thu
comparatively few older and wiser heads
who saw a safer and more profitable fielt
OF operations in the opportunities which ex
listed for trade and speculation in San Fran
cisco, the heart of the multitude was upoi
gold-digging, the making of pile Ill
the parlance of the day-and quick return
to the old home again. Indeed, it may b.
safely estimated that ninety-five per cent o
the Forty-Niners " who had then arrived
in California were animated by this senti
ment.-W. b. FdrloeH in Century.

POISONED BY SCRoFULA-Is the sad story
of many lives made miserable through no
cially than any other hereditary disease,
and for this simple reason; Arising from
impure and insufficient blood the diseas e
locates itself in the lymphatics, which are
composed of white tissues; there is a Pc
Rod of fetal life when the whole body con-
born child is especially susceptible to this
dreadful disease. But there is remedy
for scrofula, whether hereditary or acquired.
1t is Hoods Sarsaparilla, which by its
powerful effect on the blood, expels all
trace of the disease and gives to the vital
fluid the quality and color OF health. If
you decide to take Hoods Sarsaparilla do
not accept any substitute.

made an eventful trip East recently. He
was on the excursion train that was
wrecked in Ohio, but he escaped. When he
arrived at South Ryegate he was arrested
for debt of $1,000 to the Ryegate granite
works, and he spent day or two in the
care of sheriff. After some lively tele-
graphing, his home office promised to honor
his draft for $1,000, after which he took the
train to Boston.

CITY SEWERS.

The question of sewerage for this
city is one Of Importance that should
not be delayed too long. We believe
that plans a be made that will give
the city an excellent system at mol
crate cost. The necessity for an ex-
pensive kind does not exist. While
it is true that the best is always the
cheapest, still we must build such as
the city can afford rather than wait
until the city can build an elaborate
system. Every building in the busl-
ness part Of High and parts Of Madi.
10 street can he severed at small
cost, and the city should pro.
coed at once to investigate the matter
and take charge Of it. 1t is already
apparent that q mistake was made
when the right was given TO private
parties to construct sewers, and
while it is q hardship to refuse q like
privilege to others, yet it must be
done, and the only way for the city
to justify such a course is to put in
a system of sewerage at once. 1t is
not expected that the whole city
should be severed at once that
would be out of the question. But
that q start should be made is clear
to everyone who is interested ia the
subject. In order to start the matter
the mayor and council should invite
some experienced person to view the
situation and make estimates.
Under the statute, sewer districts
can be made and different plans can
be adopted for the various districts,
as the good of the inhabitants may
require. II the matter is delayed
too long it will; become almost i'm.
possible to secu re a public sewer to
the great injury of those who do not
enjoy the privileges of a private
sewer.

power for a plant from the prison,

was the closing of the contract as
stated The company will furnish in
candescent lights for the state house,
the executive mansion, supreme
