Talks cheap, but when it's backed up by a pledge of the hard cash of finan- cialIy responsible firm or company, of world wide reputation for fair and hon. orable dealing, it means business.
 Now, there are scores of sarsaparillas and other blood purifiers, all cracked up to be the best, purest, most peculiar and wonderful, but bear in mind, (for your own sake), there's only one guaranteed blood purifier and remedy for torpid liver and all diseases that come from bad blood.
 That one-standing solitary and alone -sold on trial is Dr Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
 If it doesn't do good in skin, scalp and scrofulous diseases-and pulmonary consumption is lung scrofula-just lei it's makers know and get your money back.
 Talks cheap, but to back poor medi cine, or a common one, by selling it or trial, as "Golden Medical Discovery" ii sold, would bankrupt the largest for tune.
 Talks cheap, but only "Discovery' ii guaranteed.

Deserted Husband and Children.

WINDSOR, Feb 1.-The residents of this town have recently been treated to another sensation which has caused a great deal of talk. A few days ago Mrs George E. Osborne, wife, of a hard working man and the mother of seven children, packed up her belongings and during her husbands absenceI ffrom home she left for parts unknown. At the time of her disappearance she was accompanied by youth named George Atkin, the bearer of an unsavory reputation. Mrs Osborne is 46 years of age, and has been married to Os- borne, the deserted husband, for nearly 30 years. She has heretofore borne the best reputation and was well thought of. Atkins has been in the meshes of the police now several times for various of. lenses and is described as bad egg. Il is believed that the couple are at present living in Hartford as man and wife. The police of that city, it is said, know of their whereabouts, but it is moi thought that Osborn will bring any com pIaint against his wife on account of his children.

. ABOARD A RUcCANEER.
No Regular Rules, But Traditions Tha

No Regular Rules, But Traditions That
 Were ReIIgiously Observed.
 The customs and regulations most commonly observed on board a buc- cancer are worth noting. Every pri- vate captain, doubtless, had his own set of rules; but there were certain tra- ditional articles that seem to have been generally adopted. The captain had the state cabin, double vote in elec- tions, double share of booty. explains the National Review. On some vessels it was the captain who decided what direction to sail in; but this and other matters of moment were oftener set tied by a vote of the company, the cap tain's vote counting for two. The of fcers had share and half or a share and quarter of all plunder, and the sailors one share each. Booty was divided with scrupulous care and ma rooning was the penalty of attempting to defraud the general company, if only to the amount of gold piece or dol lar Every man has full vote in every affair of importance.
 Arms were always to be clean and fit for service, and desertion of the ship or quarters in battle was punished with death. On Roberts ship a man who was crippled in battle received eight hundred dollars out of the common stock, and a proportionate sum was awarded for lesser hurts. Lowther al- lowed one hundred and fifty pounds sterling for the loss of a limb, and other captains instituted a sort of tariff of wounds which extended to ears, fn- gers and toes. In chase or battle the captains power was absolute. He who first spied sail, if she proved to be a prize, was entitled to the best pair of pistols over and above his dividend. These pistols were greatly coveted and pair would sell for as much as thirty pounds sterling from one pirate to an- other. In their own commonwealth the pirates are reported to have been se- were upon the point of honor, and among Roberts crew it was the practice to slit the ears or nose of any sailor found guilty of robbing his fellows.
 Such feeble interest as now attaches to what was once tie formidable fame of the pirates is not even aesthetic, it is merely comic. No imaginative essay ist discusses piracy as fine art; but Paul Jones is resurrected as the hero of musical burlesque. Poor Paul! And he is almost the only one of the buc- caneering race whose story discovers trace of the legendary gallantry of piracy. Paul, whose father had been head gardener to Lord Selkirk, plum dered the Selkirk mansion of its plate, which he subsequently, returned in g. parcel to Lady SelkirlS with letter of polite apology.

 ifOrnian the Decision Against LannOn
 on Points-Immense Crowds Witness the
 Work of COrbett at Madison square Garden-Much Enthusiasm Displayed
 MuIdOOn Makes an Unusual Decision in
 the Case of a Couple of ''Fakers"
 NEW YORK, Feb. I7.-Between 5000 and 5000 persons went to Madison Square Garden last night to see James J. Corbett, the California boxer, try to best three men, each in three rounds.
 Corbett's opponents were Joe Lannon, of Boston, who was sparring partner of John L. Sullivan for long time; Bob Caffrey, of Philadelphia, and Bill Spill ings, of Rochester, all heavyweights, of course.
 There was great trouble in getting into the building, as the crowd fairly blocked the only entrance from Madison avenue, and caused jam that neither police nor the garden officials could tighten.
 There were a number of good exhibi- tions of sparring before the event of the evening, over which William Muldoon, the wrestler, acted as master of cere- monies.
 An unusual thing happened in one of these. Muldoon was not satisfied that a pair of local scrappers were doing their best. and disqualified them for "faking, D assuring the spectators that neither would receive any pay.
 On Corbett's appearance he was heart fly cheered. Jim Daly, of Philadelphia, was in his corner. His first opponent was Bill Spillingsy of Rochester, who after two minutes sparring was knocked down twice by smashes on the jaw and then said he had enough.
 Bob Caffrey, of Philadelphia, came up next, and went down twice in forty five seconds. Then he quit like his prede- ceSSor.
 When Joe Lannon came out he met with a great reception, and during all his bout a majority of the spectators seemed to sympathize with him, for every time he hit Corbett, and he did it often, they cheered him. COrbett did not succeed in shocking LannOn out, though he tried hard to do so. He did not even knock him down. Lannon put up an excellent show and landed on Corbett's body several times with force.
 COrbett, on the other hand, did not appear to as good advantage as usual, and missed many blows he sent out tC do work, neither was he so shifty as ordinarily.
 - At infighting Corbett did some hugging, but not as much as Lannon. Even the little, on Corhett's side, surprised his friends. The Californian was plainly not at his best strength. One punch in the stomach that Lannon gave him in tht second round stirred him up considerably
 In the third round CUrbett was more active and had Lannon very tired H got in on face and body, and l.annoI could not respond.
 If one more round had been tough Corbett might have knocked his maI out, and, as it was. earned the decision on points.

Queer M :tlimOnial Complications EnOOun-

After A Secret Marriage the Brides Father Carries Her OR-Then the Hus- band Gets a Writ of HAbeas Corpus, and Secures His Wife, But She Would Not Embark on the Honeymoon Until the Rites Had Been Performed By . Priest He Only Consents to Marry Them After Tears, Appeals and a'rOtestatIOns Of Re- pentance.
 PoUGHKEEPsIE, N. Y., Feb. IA TO- nance that has been interesting Duchess County people for some time ended last night in a quiet wedding in the village of Wappingers Falls. The story is re- markable inasmuch as 1t embraces all the elements that go to make up & romantic novel.
 John Dwyer and Mary Clear became engaged at Wappingers Falls some months ago. The bans were published at St. Mary's Catholic Church two weeks ago last Sunday.
 Mary's father, Michael Clear, prosper ous farmer of Sylvan Lake, Dutche3s County, hurried to Wappingers Falls, forbid the marriage and created 8 scene in the village.
 The couple, hawever, were bent on matrimony, and were secretly married by Justice Hignel on the same day.
 A few hours later Michael Clear com pelled his daughter to accompany him to Sylvan Lake, leaving the disconsolate groom of an hour to ponder on the ru g. gedness of love's way.
 Last Friday Dwyer obtained, through Counsellor George Wood, 8 writ of habeas corpus from Judge Barnard, de- manding that Michael Clear produce the bride, his daughter Mary, in court on Saturday morning.
 Farmer Clear learned for the first time that his daughter was married when the constable and Dwyer drove to his door with the writ last Friday night. Clear relented at once and permitted the bride and groom to meet for the first time since their marriage, which occurred on February 2.
 Then a new trouble developed. The bride, being 8 devout Catholic, was not satisfied with the civil marriage, and re- fused to embark upon the honeymoon until married according to the laws of the Roman Catholic Church.
 Rev. Dr. Mahoney, of Wappingers Falls was appealed to, but he told the couple to go their way, as they had al ready deceived him and disobeyed the church by going before a justice of the peace to be married.
 This nearly prostrated the bride, who would not be satisfied unless properly married in the church. The couple earnestly pleaded, cried and said they repented of their behavior. and the good priests sympathies were finally aroused and he consented to marry them.
 The wedding took place last night and a happier couple, after the culmination of their troubles, it would be hard to find
 The bride is Is years old and very pretty. John Dwyer is 26 years old and is connected with the print works of Wappingers Falls.

EXECUTION BY GAS.
Ss racuse Physician Suggests a Ne
 Method of Killing Murderers.

SYRACUSE, N. Y., Feb. 17.-Assembly man Stein, who has gained considerable notoriety on account of his opposition tc the electrocution law, is in constant re, ceipt of letters from all parts of the State commenting his action.
 lie has received a letter from Dr. Gib bOns, of Syracuse, the inventor of the improved chair used in electrocution.
 The doctor not only disapproved of killing by electricity, but suggests a novel method for killing murderers by gas while they are sleeping He says:
 "I would suggest the execution of murderers by means of gas, such as carbonic oxide, or any of the poisonous gases, the gas to be used while the mur- derer is asleep.
 The method I would suggest is to have the cell of the criminal airtight when the door is closed, except the win dow, which could easily be made so on the outside without disturbing the pri soner. When the prisoner falls asleep the window should be closed and the gas turned on from 8 tank, or the city gas might be used. With either of these you could kill 8 man in a small cell before he could raise hand.
 But the law should provide that the criminal be killed while asleep. This does away with the sight of the electric chair or gallows."
 Dr. Gibbons sent with his letter draw ings from which a better idea of his plan might be obtained.
