FIELDS MINSTRELS.

There is nothing like the blare of a
minstrel band to wake community and
bring the entire population out on the
sidewalk to enjoy the music. There's a
swing and there's a dash about the music
of a minstrel band that sets the blood
tingling and makes every man hold his
head higher. stirs his patriotic blood as
no other music will and makes him glad
der than ever that he is an American
citizen and lives under the stars and

The grip has claimed another victim
among the prominent stage lights. The
latest star to be compelled to retire
owing to the prevalent disease is James
A. Hearne whose tour was unexpected
ly closed last Wednesday in Reading,
Penn. Mr.. Herne is threatened with
paralysis of his vocal chords, and will
hardly be seen on the stage again this
season.
The engagement of Miss Chrystal
ltearne for The Christian company
has caused quite a mix-up. When the
engagement was announced at first 1t
was said Miss Hearne would take kath-
crime Greys place in the coming re-
Vival in Chicago. This turns out an en-
ror. Miss Hearne will play Glory
Quayle next season, when f. j. Morgan

Sarah Bernhardt was once playing at
Marseilles in a spectacular play, in

to go on one of the youngsters had dis
appeared. Sarah mustered the five in
order and made her entrance with d
grand flourish. The house was crowded
but instead of applause a growing in.
diSnation greeted her. For full min
ute the tumult continued. Then Sarah,
mutterng things below her breath
rushed like fury down to the foot
lights. In the front row she had seen
one man who was not taking part in the
hullabaloo. Pointing at him, the actress
exclaimed sternly: You seem to be
the only sensible person in the house.
Tell me what on earth they are kicking
up this row for?' The man rose, bowed
to the actress and remarked in very bad

ed on to Sacramento, and from there
to San Francisco.
Thus ends long and toilsome jour-
ney of over four months from st.
Joseph. Missouri, to the city OF San
Francisco in the territory of Californ-
ia, a distance Of ., Jos miles. 1t might
be proper for me to say here, and In
teresting for others to read IN after
years, that our company was composed
of eighty men, most or all of them
from my native State, Virginia. We
were organized and left Charlestcwn,
the county.seat of Jefferson county,
as a joint stock company, each men,
Der having paid over to the treasurer
$500, making in all $4,000. We
managed to hold together as a stock
company until we reached Sacramento
City, when We put 1t to vote whether
TO disband or not The result was
that we broke Up by an overwhelming
majority, and what funds was left in
the treasurers hands were divided
evenly among us 1t was not long
until lots of our boys were dead broke,
I among the rest. We then got to-
gether and went to mining in small
parties. There were six in our party,
namely, Joseph McCurdy, William
Rissler, John Walper, George Come
gys, myself and Andrew Wagner.
We started for the Mocaline river,
but stopped at VolcannOn digging'
and built a cabin We worked three
together, McCurdy, Rissler and myself
in one party. McCurdy took sick and
died the first winter, and Rlssler got
sick and went to Sacramento City.
Thus ! am left alone to work the
mine that we located, and am meeting
with fair success. ! should like to
keep an account of the scenes and
transactions as they happen daily
here, but have scarcely room IN my
diary to append the names of those Of
our company who survived the periis
and hardships of that terrible journey
across the continent in search OF gold
in 40
In closing this little diary that |
have kept, | wish TO say that ! have
made no attempt at fiction. ! have
merely recorded the events of each day
as they happened and the scenes as
they were before me. ! hope ere
many months shall have passed away
to start again for the old State Of Vlr-
pinia, the State wherein ! was born
and the State wherein | hope to die.
But | shall not attempt 10 make an
overland journey Of two thousand
miles again, but will trust to some
good ship, though it may take me
many miles around. At last with the
help of Him who doeth all things well
hope to reach some barbor or port
within a few hundred miles OF home.
But as said in the fret part Of this
littl. diary, if my hopes should not be
realized, if it should be the will Of
Him who rules the universe that
should never reach my native State,
| | beg Of him, whosoeyer be or che
may be, into whose hands this little

CATARRH

Catarrh has become such a common
disease that a person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. It Is customary to speak OF Catarrh
as nothing more serious than a bad cold,
a simple inflammation of the nose and
throat. 1t is, in fact, complicated and
very dangerous disease; if not at first, 1t
very soon becomes so.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison through
the general circulation IS carried to all
parts of the system.
Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis-
factory and disappointing, because they do
not reach the seat Of the trouble. S. S. S.
does. It cleanses the blood of the poison
and eliminates from the system all catar
rhal secretions, and thus cures thoroughly
and permanently the worst cases.

The Rectum is one OF the most important
organs of the body.
Through II large portion of the waste,

When the functions of this organ are inter-

tained in the system, poisoning the blood,
clogging the glands, impairing nutrition and
assimilation and engendering diseases that
not only cause great suffering but destroy
life.
Disturbed digestion, arrangement of the
nervous system, rheumatism, Neuralgia,
