Charming people, these exceptional
people! Here's medicine-Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery for instance,
and it's cured hundreds, thousands
-fhat're known, thousands that're un-
known, and yet yours is an exceptional
case! Do you think that that bit of
human nature which you call "I' is diff
ferent from the other parcels of human
nature? "But you don't know my case" "
Good friend, in ninety-nine out of a
hundred cases, the causes are the same
impure blood-and that's why "Golden
Medical Discovery" cures ninety-nine
ont of every hundred. You may be the
exception. And you may not. But
would you rather be the exception, or
would you rather be we'll? If you're
the exec ption it costs you nothing, you
get your money back-but suppose it
cures you?
Let the "Golden Medical Discovery"
take the risk.

TIMES REvEN0ES.

The Fate of Gen, Miguel Lopes, Who Be-
trayed the Emperor Maximilian.
It is now fully quarter Of century
since merciful dispensstion Of Proyi-
dence so clouded the Empress Carlotta's
mind that she was spared single pang
of grief when her royal husband was
slaughtered In Mexico.
For nearly generation, says the At
lanta Constitution, the widow of the
unfortunate Macmillan has remained
in ignorance of his fate. But slowly,
and by almost iuperceptibled degrees, her
mind has become clarified, and she Is
once more in. the, enjoyment Of her fac
ulties. Looking backward through the
long years of darkness, that sad Mexi-
can business in which she played the
part of a heroine seems to her nearly q
dream. 1t is well that 1t is so. Car
lotta is not an old woman. She Is hard
ly forty-fve, and something in her
future may yet compensate her for her
bitter past
But the same day that her recovery
was announced also brought the intelli-
gence that Gen. Miguel Lopez had been
bitten by a mad dog and was under tho
Pasteur treatment.
This Lopez was the trusted officer
who betrayed Maximilan to his blood
thirsty enemies-the wretch whose evil
work caused Carlotta's insanity. After
living all these long years, despised by
even his own countrymen, and scorned
by his wife for his treason, he has, per-
haps, met his doom.
What fate would be more fitting for
this false friend, who sold his benefac-
tor9 1t is hard to believe that he will
be cured He will snap and snarl and
foam at the mouth like q rabid hound.
He win rave in his paroxysms of
maniacal frenzy. He will tear his flesh
in his mad commissions and die like q
wild beast.
Time brings its revenges, As the
traitor Lopez sinks out Of sight in the
lurid shadows now descending upon
him, his victim Carlotta comes once
more into the light Of day, serenely
beautiful, once more herself, the most
charming woman that has worn
crown since Eugene in her happiest
days. Dissolving views-lights and
shadows-they make up life.

The earth Of the Rio Grande's banks in

the waters are liquid mud.
The great river both gives and takes
on its journey to the sea. Smaller
streams join it from point to point, some
leaping to 1t down canyon bottoms,
others meandering as rivulets in the
middle OF wide channels filed only at
flood, and often the waters of the inlet,
as in the case of the Rio dc Santa Fe,
are hidden beneath the sands of dry
bed and ooze underground to join the
subterranean current of the great
stream. The river gives of its abun.
