500 Reward. 500.

The readers OF this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure known to the medical fra
ternity. Catarrh being constitutional
disease, requires constitutional treat
ment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and as
sisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its
curative powers, that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that j
fails to cure. Send for list of testi
mouials.

The Irrepressible Fakir.

According to the New York Sun, one
OF the street fakirs who have recently
given up the selling of "Sapho'' in order
to devote their whole attention to the
peddling of equally spurious copies of
the Rev. Mr.. Sheldon's ideas of how
Christ would run a newspaper to de-
struction, has ideas of advertising his
goods which are distinctly original, not
to say novel. Had Mr.. Sheldon met this
fakir he would doubtless have caused
his arrest-or tried to cause it-on the
charge of libel. The fakir-like wiser
people-had no clear idea as to just why
the paper should sell so well on the city
streets, but Re not unnaturally, nor alto
gether wrongly, concluded that it mus
be for some what the same reason that
made the novel so popular. Consequent
ly he hawked his wares in this wise
