—the consumptive who's not bereft of judgment and good sense. He's taking Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. If taken in time and given a fair trial, it will effect a cure. Consumption is Lung-scrofula. For Scrofula, in its myriad forms, and for all Liver, Blood and Lnng diseases, the Discovery" is an unequalled remedy. It's the only

guaranteed

one. If

it doesn't benefit or cure, you get your money back. You only pay for the good you get.

Discovery strengthens Y\Teak Lungs, and cures Spitting of Blood, Shortness of Breath, Bronchitis, Severe Coughs, and kindred affections. Don't be fooled into taking something else, said to be just as good," that the dealer may make a larger profit. There's nothing at ail like the Discovery." It contains no alcohol to inebriate no syrup or sugar to derange digestion. As peculiar in its curative effects as in its composition. Equally good for adults or children.

Remorse of an Indiana MurderessAt Gosbeu the alkins murder case appeared court T\iesday afieruoou. Frank Hendryx, who is accused in Mrs. Calkins' confession ot being the principal agm'ssor iu the murder of her aged husband, petitioning the court for an attorney to tnake his defense at the county's expense. In the cross examination his father, Dr. Hendryx was shown to be worth over SO,000, aud the poliuon was denied.

Mrs. Calkins sits in the Women's department in the jail crying and praying. Hsr confession of the awful crime was made of-her own free will, she not being solicited at all by State's Attorney. I)r. Hendryx says that the whole case is simply persecution of his son by a few or his enemies, and in the coarse of his remarks let slip a word or two which shows that the chiof plan of the defease for Qalkins will be to prove the Calkins woman so bad that her confession will have little weight. Bernard Collins, the son-in-law of Mrs. Calkins, who furnished the last link ef eiidence that led to the arrest of the guilty eonole, has been placed under bondi for his appearance as a witness for the prosecution.

General Carrinpton's Find-

A remarkable Stone Image has been found on the Tusearora Indian Reservation. It was unearthed by Gen. Carrmgton while takiag a eeusus and investigating the tribe's o«dition for the Government, and will be placed in tbe Smithsonian Institution at Washington, There is evidence that the mound from which it was taken is several hundred years old. The image itself is abont 8 inches high by 4 inches wide, The principal fienre stands with upturned face which is chiselled with far more skill thau the red men generally possess. At one side, as if enfolded by the left arm of a parent-, is a small figure, quite indistinct. Underneath is s»me animal having unmistakably the tail of a sheep. Tne whole at once suggests the story of Abraham's preparation to offer up his only son Isaac in accordance with the command of his God.—Boston Transcript

AN AMATEUR CABBY.

Young Van Bibber's success as an amateur crook so excited the members of his set who had lost money by it that young Mr. Travers said he, too, would go out and prey upon society and in five hours steal $o0. He would do this in the guise of a hansom cab driver. His friends wagered that he could not make the sum. he named between the hours of 7 and midnight. Travers himself selected these hours, as lie was afraid some one would recognize him if lie drove through the streets in the daytime. He had great difficulty in procuring a hansom cab. Ho finally found one who consented to dve up his turnout for the evening for (£0 down and a guarantee that it would be returned in order. Travers borrowed the man's shabby capeeoat and sent his man after a high hat of his own which wits most disreputable. Then lie climbed up on the box, wrapped the blanket around his legs and waved his whiplash in a charuljhgjy professional manner. His Iriends^ftpplimded in dumb show from the club window, and he saluted them sedately as he turned into the avenue.

He had not file least idea what the proper tariff of v.- was, but as he had never found a l:an:ctn cab driver who did. he did not allmv this to disturb him. He felt rather all the more qualified to rob aud blackmail his passengers. He was crawling slowly up the street when a gentleman came down the steps of a large private house, hailed him and jumped into the cab before it had stopped. Travers lifted the trap and said "Whore to, sir'r" to the top of the gcutleman'i high hat. The high hat turned and twisted, and the gentleman said--"Broadway theatre in a hurry."

Travers had his own idea of a hurry He hit the horse a vigorous Infill across the head, which caused it to start forward so suddenly that the fare inside was shot out over the doors, and Travers only saved himself from going over backward by clenching the reins. They reached lite theatre in live minutes. The doors had just been opened. "Well." said Travers, cheerfully, "I got y.in here in time to avoid tho rush, anyw i\ "How much.-' said tho fare. "Oh. anything you please for myself," said Travers, "and five dollars regular fare." •Five what:-"' gasped the stranger. •Five dollars," said Travers "what do yoti expect to pay for a ride behind a racehorse like that? You said to hurry, and didn't I hurry? It'll cost me five dollars to doctor that horse up, as it is. I can't use him no more to-night." "Well, I v. out pay it," said the gentleman, indignantly "it's robbery, and I'll take your .number. Tt's downright extortion."

Travers calmly tmwrapped his blanket, stuck his whip in its socket and prepared to descend. Over two dozen men gathered around the gentleman, some of them telling him to have the driver arrested and the other half urging Travers "to take it out'en him."

Travers merely went forward and rubbed his horse's legs tenderly. "Look at that," he said to the most offensive iooking individual in the crowd "look at that swelling in that leg. All through racing him for this man that calls himself a gentleman. Pretty gentleman he is, isn't her Laming a horse and trying to rob a poor driver of his fare. I guess 1 won't be able to use that horse again for two days, and where

rs

my earnings

coming from while he's laid up? That's what I want to know." The offensive individual said the swelling, which was not at all evident to any one else, was the "worse he over seen," and the crowd began to murmur indignantly.

The gentleman palled out a roll of bills nervously, and gave a five dollar bill to Travers, who sighed as ho took it. "I'd like to punch yonr head for it," said Travers gloomily, but the gentleman did not wait, and Travers drove slowly away until the corner shut him out of sight, when he whipped his horse into a gallop. "That's very good for a starter." said the amateur whip.

At the next corner two men, very mnch the worse for dining, waved at him, and fell aud tumbled into the cab. "Oh," gatrped TraveTS ecstatically, "this is where I live. HI take every cent they've got." "Where to?'' he asked again. 'Wherever yon please," shouted back ono of the occupants, "and get there in a hurry!"

Trarers drove them directly to the Thirtieth precinct police station, and called to the sergeant. "These men," said Travers, "took my cab at 4 this afternoon, and they've kept mo ever since, and now they don't know where they want to go, and they won't get out or pay me my fare."

The two passengers, who had promptly fallen asleep as soon as they were settled in the cab, staggered drowsily into tho station house, where the sergeant assigned them to two cells, took Travels' name and number and gave him $10 from the roll one of the men carried, which ho declared was little enough for fire hours' service. "That dissipation will cort thoui quite a little sum," soliloquized Trovers grimly "it illustrates the evil effect* of Btawng drink."

He was passing a too well known antnhling house en TVenfcy-seTenth

street, which is well known to every one except. the police, when a young gentleman ho know ran gleefully down the steps and hailed him. The yonth's name was Forbes, and he came of rich but honest parents.

The boy told him to drive to Delmonico's, and Travers whipped up his horse. "How much?" said young Mr. Forbes, grandly, pulling out a great wad of money composed of bills of large denominations. "One dollar," said Travers. Tne youth handed liini a twentj' dollar bill. "Can you change that?" he said "it's the smallest I have." "I'll keep the change, thank yon, Mr. Forbes," said Travers calmly "or, if yon like, I'll drive up to yonr father's with you and get him to change it, and I'll tell him what good luck yon had at the tables. He'll be so pleased." "Confound you!" said the boy, growing pale, "my name's not Forbes. Give me back that money or Til have you arrested." "No, you won't, Mr. Forbes." said Travers, "or if you do 111 tell. I guess you'd better let me keep it, and when you go home to-night tell the governor all about it and promise him never to go there again. You've got off mighty cheap as it is."

The young man glowered and swore under his breath, but Travers chirruped to his hor.-e and started offgavly. He only needed ,$ir more and it "was still early.

At Twenty-third street and the avenue a young man with a bag in his hand waved to him, and he drew up to the curbing. Then a young girl stepped out of the shadow and sprang into the cab, and the young man followed her. He gave Travers an address up town, t6 wliich he took them quickly. "Strangers in the city." said Travers "if I had any way of knowing who they were, so that I could get their money back, I'd pluck 'em."

The young man and the girl entered the house and remained there a few minutes. They came out looking greatly troubled, and the girl was crying. The young man gave him another address, and Travers made off for it. It was a house attached to a church. "They aro a runaway couple and they are trying to get married." They were apparently unsuccessful this time, for they camo out again immediately, and the girl was sobbing bitterly. "Can yon tell me," said tho young man with her, "do you happen to know of any clergyman who lives near here, or a justice, or some one who can perform a marriage ceremony?"

Travers whistled softly and gazed at the stars. "I know of one," he said, finally. "Get in."

They got in, and Travers drove them to the house of a young rector who was a frieud of his and wlio had just been married. "Tell this gentleman," said Travers, "that Mr. Corliss Travers sent you to him. This Mr. Travers is a great swell and a friend of this clergyman, and his name goes, see?"

The young man seemed somewhat surprised, but said nothing, and entered the house. When he came out ho was smiling. and the girl was smiling too. "Idid as you said!" he exclaimed, "and if I had not he wouldn't have married ns. There was no retuson why he should not, for wo are both of age, ami till that sort of thing. I'm very much obliged to you for your suggestion. I suppose this Mr. Travers is one of your regular fares?" "I used to drive his four-in-hand," said Travers. "We won't need you any more," said the young man, "and thank you again. Here's fifteen dollars you can keep the change."

Mr. Travers raced back to the club with his $50 and told his story, which was fortunately believed. Then he inclosed the different sums he had taken to the address from which his first fare had descended, to the addresses on the police blotter, and to the home of Mr. Forbes. The last $15 he kept. "learned that," he said.

Ho won $300 on the bet, and the next day the cabman whose hansom he had borrowed seut him a pitiful note from the Tombs, where he had been taken charged with extortion and blackmail. "Sure enough," said Travers gloomily "I forgot that cab had a number."

The driver's bail bond amounted to just $300, and Travers paid it, and then, in fear lest his protege should skip his bond, he promised him a regular engagement for each day of the three months' probation. As he does not need the hansom more than three or four times a week, he finds it a bit expensive bat the other men are nsing it freely. It promises to cost Travers about $500 before the three months aro up.—New York Sun.

Talleyrand** View# on Sorirtj. The power of what is called "Society" in France was prodigious dnnng the years which preceded the revolution, and even throughout the whole of the last century. Those light and varied forms which are peculiarly its own have probably hindered onr historians from noticing the origin and following up the affects of this outcome of modern civilization. I have often thonght of it. The following are my views in this connection. In those countries where the origin of the present forms of government is lost to view in the mist of ages, the influence of "Society" must neeils be immense. Where, on tho contrary, the constitution is but of recent date, and, •consequently, still present before men's eyes, this inilnonce is null. Thus it-is that Athens and Rome in ancient times, England and the United States of Amer-ica-in our own day, have had and have no "Society."—Talleyrand's Memoirs in

I used to call upon tliem in their offices with my book of samples, and as I'm a pretty fair talker I managed to get a good many orders. I used to give them credit, and 1 will say one tiling for the public department clerks, and that is that I lost very little money by them. I used to have to wait a good while sometimes, but they generally paid me in full.

TWO SIMPLE CASES.

"But you want to know about the 'beuts.' Well, ono of tho worst I ever knew was a follow who was hero for tome time as a newspaper man. He was on a local paper, and it was after I had gone into business for myself that I met him. He came into my store oue day with two or three well known business young men whoso trado 1 had possessed for a long time. Ono of the party,» banker, ordered a $G0 suit, and I measured him while the others chaffed him and examined my stock. About an hour afterward this newspaper man returned and said that Ire would like me to make a suit for him of tho same goods selected by his friend. I presumed he was till right, took his measure, made the suit, sent it io his address and waited for him to come stud settle. But he never did, tind in a short time he skipped out of town. That was a dead loss to me. "That wasn't ns bad, however, as a trick 1 hat: was subsequently played upon me. A tall, line looking gentleman came in one day, aud after looking over my stock selected a piece of the m^st expensive goods and ordered a suit 1 be made from it. lie wanted the suit finished in three days., as he was going t" leave the city. He was on his way .south, he said, and had already spent more time than he had intended. He was very polite and appeared to be a man of means.. He was also particular as to the cut and style

rjf

the coat and vest, insisting upon

a collar io the latter, although the style was without one. Well, 1 put oft' some other work and completed his snit within the time agreed upon, and r-nt-it to his hotel about dusk with thr hill—$S0. The man brought back the money, four $00 bills, and I put this in the safe and went home. The next day when I sent my deposit to the bank thc.se t'onr $30 bills were lvturned marked 'counterfeit.' Well. pel-Imps 1 wasn't mad. I sent down to the hotel, lmtof course iheman had gone. I placed the matter in the hands of the detectives, but they failed to find the swindler. Many years Afterward I saw his picture in a rogues' gallery, and learned that he was one of the most expert, counterfeiter^ in the country. I think he is now in a western penitentiary, but it was along time before the government officers captured and convicted him.

A QT7 F.ST ION OK KXl'ANlo\\ "One of tho funniest swiudles ever played upon me was by a government clerk, who was brought to ine by the chief of his division, for whom I had made clothes for years. I measured the man myself, and was particularly careful about the shoulders and chest, as I pride myself upon the fit of mv coats. I sent the snit to his boarding hou.^e on Saturday night, and the next Monday morning, bright and early, he was down to the store very much enraged because the coat and vest didn't fit him. He said the trousers were till right, hut the coat and vest wore altogether too small. I sent up for the garments and compared their measurements with those I had marked on the books aud found that they corresponded exactly sol wrote a note asking him to call in after his office was out in the evening. lie did 80, aud 1 asked him to try i»u the coat and vest, lie went into the back part of tho store, and when he camo forward with the garments on they would not meet by at least three inches. I was nonplussed. 1 was certain that 1 had made tbe correct measurements, but there was the man, and the coat .and vest evidently didn't fit. 1 offered to make him others, but he was mad and wouldn't have it. He paid me for the trousers and w.is going to leave tin coat and vest on my hands. ".Inst as he was

going out

out

of the door I

ho turned and said he was sorry that Fd made such a blunder, for he liked the goods. He added in a reflective sort of a way that lie might split up the back of the vest and set a piece in so that he could button that, but that the coat would always have to stay open. Finally he said he'd give mo $20 for the garments, the price of which was $35. I told him 1 would prefer to make liiin-a new coat and vest, but he wouldn't have it, and finally, rather than run the risk of not. get titig rid of the garments at all 1 let iiim have them for $20. Abont a week alter I saw him at the theatre with the coat buttoned over his ch*t--it was a Prince Albert—aud fitting him beautifully. I couldn't understand it until I was told that he had formerly been a contortionist, and had the iower to throw

his chest far leyond its

normal size. He. had just leaten me out of $|.Y 1 didn't make any inc®8 clothes

for

him. but I heard that he

'beat' another tailor in the sanf way. —Washington Star.
