bilitated, are advised by physicians to take mod
crate amounts of whisky two or three times during
the day. In little while those who adopt this
advice frequently increase the number of "drinks"
and in time become confirmed inebriates. bev-
erage which will not create thirst for intoxicating
liquors, and which is intended especially for the
benefit of debilitated persons, whether at home or
abroad, is DR.. Schencks Sea Weed Tonic. Con-
tanning the juices of many medicinal herbs this
preparation does not create IN appetite for the
intoxicating cup. The nourishing and life sup
porting properties of many valuable natural pro-
ductions contained In it and well known to medical
men have most strengthjng influence. A single
bottle Of the Tonic will demonstrate its valuable
qualities. For debility arising from sickness, over
eKertIon or from any cause whatever, wineglass-
full OF Sea Weed Tonic taken after meals will
strengthen the stomach and create an appetite for
wholesome food. To all who are about leaving


their homes we desire to say that the excellent ef
fects OF DR. Schencks seasonsble remedies, Sea


Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, are particularly
| evident when taken by those who are iniuriously


affected by a change OF water and diet. No person
should leave home without taking q supply OF these


safeguards along. For sale by all druggists.

How much the heart may bear, and yet not break
How much the flesh may suffer, and not diei
question much if any pain ache
OF soul or body brings our end more nigh.
Death chooses his own time till that is worn,


All evils may be borne.
We shrink and shuddef at the surgeons knife
Each nerve recoiling from the cruel steel,
Whose edge seems searching for the quivering life;
Yet to our sense the bitter pangs reveal
That still, although the trembling flesh be torn,


This also, can be borne.
We see a sorrow rising in our way,
And try to flee from the approaching ill.,
We seek some small escape-we weep and pray
But when the blow falls, then our hearts still
Not that the pain is of its sharpness shorn-


But think it can be borne
We wind our life about another life
We hold it closer dearer than our own
Anon it faints and falls in deadly STRIFE
Leaving us stunned and stricken and alone;
But ah ! we do not die with those we mourn


This also, can be borne.
Behold, we live through all things-famine, thirst
Bereavement, pain! all grief and misery.
All woe and sorrow life infcts its worst
On soul and body-but we cannot die,
Though we be sick and tired and faint and worn;


Lol all things can be borne.

SOME SEAsONABLE ADvICE.-Hall'S
Journal of Health has these directions

'lOOse,' for it has room to move on the
skin, thus causing Utilization which
draws the blood to the surface and
keeps it there, and when that is the
case no one can take cold red be-
cause white flannel fulls up, mats to-
gether and becomes tight, stiff, heavy
and impervious; 'woolen,' the product
of a sheep, not of a gentleman of color,
not of cotton wool, because that merely
absorbs the moisture from the surface
while wooden flannel conveys it from
the skin and deposits it in drops on the
outside of the shirt, from which the Or
diDary cotton shirt ahsorbs it, and, by
its near exposure to the exterior air, it
is soon. dried without injury to the body.
Having these properties, red wooden
flannel is worn by sailors even in the
midsummer of the hottest countries.
Wear thinner material in summer.

The Glen Sutton correspondent of
the Palladium, relates that while a
young man named Pelkie was out hunt
ing few days ago he chanced to espy
a fox industriously digging for mice
about a decayed stump. Between him
self and the mouse hunter, reclining
upon the ground quietly chewing his
cud, was q. d. Wilson's bull. Cau-
tiously advancing, our hero reached the
unsuspecting bovine; dropping upon
his knees and carefully resting his gun
across the animals back he pulled the
trigger. The aim was true and sly
Reynard fell dead, but wasn't the bull
astonished though? Springing to his
feet with a roar he ran over Peter about
forty times and rushed away snorting
with terror. The first thing our friend
saw on opening his eyes was the bulls
tail cleaving the air like a meteor,


about mile away, and the dead fox
lying upon the ground hard by. The
sight of the latter reassured him and
securing it he gathered up the frag


ments of his clothing, consisting of a
boot strap, and two vest buttons, and
Iimped homeward, resolved that though
great the tribulation he would never
again use live bull for a breastwork.

permanently cured BY the drugs which are gener

Tonic in its nature is totally different from euch

BATHROOMS IN SMALL HoUsEs.-It
should be particular point with every
builder engaged in or contemplating the
erection of small dwelling houses in this
city, to provide them with comfortable
bathrooms and the necessary appliances
for the bath. 1t is too often the case that
while the larger dwellings are provided
with these necessary conveniences, the
small four and six-roomed houses are
entirely neglected in this important par
ticular. Surely if any man has special
need of bath-tub at home, it is the
workingman. He returns from his work
at evening, dirty and sweaty, and if his
house is not located conveniently near the
Brandywine or Christiana, he has to per-
form his evening ablutions in basin,
bucket or small tub. This is an incon-
venient method of getting thorough
wash. and will not accomplish the desir-
ed end without great deal of time and
trouble. To him bath-tub would be a
great boon, and as cleanliness is akin to
Goodness" the builder who provides all
his houses with bathrooms is doing a
great work for the morality of the peo-
pie.


In Philadelphia even the smallest dwell
ing houses are furnished with bath tubs
and hot and cold water appliances, and
as consequence they are readily rented
at fair rates. Let our Wilmington build
ers put this idea into execution, and they
will easily dispose of their new houses al
better rates than larger houses, not pos
sessed of these valuable convehiences
will command.

The HEATED TERM.-w While the pres
ent hot weather lasts it would be well for
people to exercise the utmost care. They
should wear light clothing, avoid all un-
necessary exertion, keep out of the sun
as much as possible, and above all be
careful in regard to their diet. Light
food only should be eaten, and all blood


heating, stimulating drinks sedulously
avoided. Cold water taken moderately


or little tart lemonade will prove ths
best tonic for the heated term. e.

down upon the plains at their feet where

,ohite man is determined to be the lord
of creation.


Well, we can truly say, there is nov
city about Colorado life. Every thing
Is so neiv, so different from what it was in
tOld Monroe y We begin to wonder
how the wooded hills and shady dells do
look, and we mediate upon the great
contrast between eastern and western
life. just think of country where there
are only three or four little rain showers
during the whole year-and yet the far
mers raise such crops of wheat as to as
tonish the world. But those grand old
peaks were not raised for nothing -
When the bright sun warns them with
his genial rays they send forth copious
supply Of wafer, and the farmer has
learned to utilize it and cause the desert
to blossom as the rose.

severe TO be enjoyable, but for the last
month we have had delightful weather
The streets OF Greeley are very dusty

The herders will start before long In
search for the thousands of cattle that
are feeding upon the plains and have
wandered into Nebraska, Kansas and
Texas. 1t will be several months before
they bring them all in. The cattle are
reported to be doing well. A herder's
life Is not to be coveted. Some of the
boys have told me that it is uery hard
life. Sleeping upon the plains night after
night, sometimes drinking water that the
cattle will not drink, eating their meals
just when they can catch them, and being
away from society are some OF the char.
acteristics of herder's life. But enough
for Colorado this time. rf

IHE MURDER OF MARY STASNARD.-A spe-
clal dispatch TO the New York Times from New
haven, Dec. 22. says: The press dispatch was
In ne error regarding the date OF the beginning OF
Rev. ID. III. Hayden's trial for the murder OF


airy t. Stannard. The states attorney in


ms your correspondent that no date has been
nXed, that the trial cannot well begin as early
as Jan. A. and that all that can be said is that
IL Will be tried some time between the middle
OF January and the 1St OF March. The knife
discovered not long ago near the scene OF the
murder and taken possession OF by the state,
mas been microscOpically examined by Prof. NJ
c. White, who found the blood on Hayden's
knife, and no trace OF blood has been found on
II, so 1t drops out OF the case. The trousers OF
Old Benjamin Stevens which were said to have
had blood on them, have been similarly exam
ined, and no trace OF blood has been found on
them. 1t is still believed that the recent action
of the police here In looking for mysterious
body, said to have been buried in the outskirts
Of the city, had some bearing upon the Stan
nard case The theory of some is that certain
persons intended to tamper with Mary's body,
but were betrayed by one OF the party before
their plans were carried into effect, and that
the actions of the authorities though apparent
ly futile, were really effective in preventing
such tampertng.

To the Democracy # Wyoming:


Some time ago, and before the meet
ing of the democratic territorial con-
vention, l announced myself as an
independent candidate for delegate to
congress. did not do this because 1
desired either the office or the nomina-
tion, but because 1t was evident that a
system of trickery and chicanery had
been carried on for some time by few
self-constituted party leaders, which
was to eliminate in the nomination of
E. L. Pease, not because of his fitness
to represent the Democratic party or
Wyoming Territory, but because he
WAS the ring-inaster and champion
trickster, and 1 desired to take some
action which would, If possible, arrest
this rush to ruin and cause those en-
gagged in it to pause and consider
whittier they were drifting, The ef-
fort TO produce that effect was fail
ure, and the previously arranged pro-
gramme was carried out.


There are times in the history of any
party that reverses are the only saliva
tion from ruin. 1t seems to me that
time has come in the history of the
democratic party here, and that we
must either consent to become plant
tools In the hands of few demagogues,
or else must teach that class that there
is better element In the democratic
party whose feelings they must consult
and whose counsel they must hear or
else they must suffer defeat.


And with only this end in view, 1
have decided to withdraw my name
from before the public as candidate,
and to invite the honest and candid
element of the democratic party to
unite with me in securing the election
Of Hon. Stephen w. Downey as our
representative in congress. We shall
thereby elect man as our delegate in
whom we all feel a commendable pride,
and also administer wholesome lesson
to the headstrong rule or ruin leaders
of our own party.


Col. Downey is man of whom no
true democrat need feel ashamed. In
every relation of life, as q soldier fight
ing to uphold his country's flag. as a
lawyer. as public officer in the capac-
ity of auditor, and as a member of the
legislat,ire-in all these he has proved
himself non partisan, honest and COM
petent. He has always been the friend
of the poor and the laboring man, and
has done more to make known abroad
and to develop the resources of Wyo-
ming than any other man in the terri
tory. n. L. ANDREWS.

tions with Afghanistan were satisfac-
tory during his administration, and he
justified the displeasure of the ameer at
the British occupation of Quettah. He
pointed out that the weak power which
the professedly chivalrous government
threatened to punish for receiving the
Russian embassy, was less culpable
than the sender of the embassy. The
sending of the embassy was apparently
breach of Russia's engagements to
England, but he feared Russia would
cite as a Justification the unfriendly
conduct of the British government.


Gladstone declared that to saddle
India with the expenses Of defense
against imaginary dangers would be
an injustice as monstrous as any re-
corded in the history of the world.


In conclusion, he asked the people to
compare the state Of England in 1873
with that of 1873. He energetically
defended the Geneva arbitration, and
thought 1t for the better 10 make o
nation Of Al. 100 friend than one of
80, 000, 900 an enemy. What they were
now protesting against was not merely
a series of false steps, but "a new system
of government by the personal respon-
sibility of the sovereign, which is only
likely to sap the foundation Of the
monarchy. s1fk

Judge Dangerfeld has put a quie-
tus on that famous bonanza suit, in
stigated as many think by Mr.. Dew
ey, and brought in the name Of an i'm
pecunious newspaper man who prob
ably never owned a share of the bo-
nanza stocks in his life. The suit
was for the recovery of $35, ,O00,O 900,
and by the magnitude of its claims it
attracted some attention, especially at
the East and in Europe There never
was any real merit in the pretensions
of the suitors, and it didn't take Judge
Dangerfeld long to see the true in
wardness At any rate he has rather
promptly sustained the defendants de-
mnrrers to the complaint which has
the effect of kicking the suit out of
court. Right here we will remark
that within the past two or three
months there has been quite diSpo-,
sition shown to withdraw suits that
have been pending against the bonan-
"a companies Whether this is be-
cause their instigators see that moth
ing can be got out of the men who.
control those companies, and there
fore intend no longer to pay legal ex-
penses, or whether it is that the cream
Of the bonanza being gone, there is no
use fighting over the skinned milk,
we know not, but the fact remains
that the suits are being withdrawn or
dismissed one after the other. This is
the correct thing TO do, Messeurs.
Bulldozing bonanzas is not just the
right way to go about making money,
and we hope with the failure of that
kind of business with the old bonan-
"a, no similar raids will be contempla-
ted on the new. Let the men who
have the courage to pay the cost Of
cropping in the dali for these ore bod
les, enjoy the profits Of success in
peace. Ae have heard rumors that
certain outlying claims are already
nosng about for points upon which to
bring suits with at least show of de-
cency, in the hope of worrying some,
thing out of somebody. We hope it
isn't true-at least if it is true we
hope the purpose will be abandoned.
