How His Neighbors Thought He was Beating his Wife. Upon Van Ness avenue is Dr. Potts, Mr. Gruff’s next door neighoor, and one morning, about two weeks after the latter had started in to become an amateur performer on the basson, he was informed that the doctor wanted to see him, and on descending to the parlor found that gentleman setting in the middie of the sofa, and flanked by three other residents on the same block. ' Mr. Guff'was surprised to notice that the whole party wore a so.emn and embarrassed look, and he inquired the nature of their visit. “We have come, Mr. Gross,” said Dr. Potts, wiping his face, “upon a mog, delicate mission. A mission, I assure you, my dear sir, that nothing but the most urgent necessity would induce us to undertake ” “Indeed?” said Guff. “We don’t mean to assert or even hint. Mr. Guff, that the fault is all on your sid». I know and we all know how difficult it is to get along always with some women. There are times sir,when the best wife has trantrums, it would require the patience of ange! to contend with. We nil know nhat.” “You bet we do,” said the other neighbors in chorus, and one of them passes! his fingers through his well wedded locks in a sadly reflective manner. But on the outer hand, some allowance must be made for the domestic trials annoyances to which woare subject. They are the weaker vesMi - Gruff, and we should always bear that in mind before proceeding to tell me that.” said Mr. Gruff somewhat, sareasticly

“Exactly, my dear sir; we have come to have a quiet little talk with you. In a friendly spirit, you understand, Mr. Guff. We come, my dear sir, in the spirit of peace and conciliation, to pour oil on the troubled waters." “Oh, you have, eh ?” said Mr. Guff. “Yes. You are a young married man, Mr. Guff, and doubtless lack the experience in some respects that we possess. Now, there are other metnods in the management of women more potent that violence. For instance, when Mrs. Potts gets a little too cantankerous 1 just suggest that perhaps she had better put off buying that new dress uutil next spring, or something of that kind. Works like a charm.’’ "My way is to hint that I shall have to stop the girls’ credit at the dry goods store. That generally fetches' my domestic (autocrat,’’ said an- , ther. “Igo most on the "no-country-this-summer’ dodge,” put in a third. “Fried oysters in a box is probably as good amollifieras any,” mused the baldest of the party, “I’ve tried most everything; besides, they are cheaper.” "Will you oblige me by explaining what all this d—n nonsense is about?” sa;d Guff, who was becoming exasperated. “Why, you don’t mean to deny, Mr. Guff,” said the spokesman, reproachfully, “that you beat your wife in the mostcruel manner?” “Beat who?” screamed Guff. “Why, that you drag Mrs. Guff up into the garret' nearly every evening and hammer her all up with a bedslat, or something?” said one. “And yank her round the room by her hair till she yells like an Indian chasing a mail-coach in ahead of time,” said another. ' It's perfectly blood-curdling, specially on Wednesday night,” added mother indignant house-holder. “Wednesday nights! Why, those are the evening when I practise music with my brother-in-law,” stammered Guff.

“What, up in the garret?” said Dr. Potts, turning very red in the face. “Yes; we are learning ttie bassoon and cornet together, and —” “Mr. Guff,” said the committeeman, getting up very much embarrassed, and holding out his hand, “we apologize—we—er—that — is—good—good evening, Mr. Guff’,” and they I hastily tiled out. But, as they have since agreed to take fifty tickets apiece the first time Mr. S. appears in an amateur concert, that amiable young benedict has agreed not to let the story out, and especially not to allow those mean Post fellows to get wind of it, —[Derrick Dood in San Francisco Post. How Cheaply One Can Lire* Biead after all is the cheapest diet one can live on, and also the best. A story is told that shows just howcheap a man ean live, when' he gets down to mush," figuratively an i literally speaking. Colonel Fitzgibbon was many years ago, colonel agent at i London for the Canadian Government -and was wholly dependent upon reI mittances from Canada tor his support. Ou one oceassion these remitlanees failed to arrive, and he was obliged to write to his Canadian friends to know the reason of the delay. Meanwhile he had just one sovereign to live upon. He found that he could live upon sixpence per day or about cents of our money—four pennyworths of bread, one penny worth of milk, and one pennyworth |of sugar. He made pudding of some of the bread and sugar, which served i for breakfast, dinner and supper, the j milk being reserved for the last mealWhen bis remittances arrived about thirty-three days afterward he had 5 shillings remaining of his sovereign, and he liked his frugal diet so well that he kept it up for over two years, possibly longer. Twelve cents a day is certainly a small amount to expend for food ; but a man in Minnesota worried through a whole year on $lO. He lived on “Johnny cake.” We know a of theological studeny in an Ohio college who sustained bt grace, rice and corn bread, lived thir teen weeks on $7; but there were several good apple orchards near the college and the farmers kept no dogs, ft is not the necessities of life that c st much, but the luxuries; and it is with the majority of mankind as it was with the Frenchman who said that if he had the luxuries of life he could dispense with the necessities. Mere living is cheap, but as the hymnologist says,“lt is not all of life to live." How a Mountaineer’s Home Vanished.

A rather singular affair took place in the vicinity of Chalk Ranchea few days ago. It seems that a man named Jefferson owned a small cabin located on Copper Mountain and occupied by him during the summer time while be was engaged in working some prospects near by. It had been at least a eouple of weeks since he had visited the place, and a few days ago he thought he wouldjpay it a visit to see now the rather fragile habitation would stand the rigors of winter time. To His unbounded amazement the spot where the cabin had formerly stood was innocent of any dwelling place. There was not a vestige of the cabin and where it had gone to was for a time a mystery a little too deep for solution. An investigation of the surroundings, however, discovered that a recent land slide had carried it bodily to the foot ot the hill, where it lay a heap of shapeless and unrecognizable debris. To all intents and purposes it had vanished from the face of the earth. Chicago. Flour—Steady and firm. Grain —Wheat unsettled but generaly higher; No. 2 Chicago spring, fl 29%; N 0.3 do,sl 16%a 117.

KENDALL’S SPAVIN CURE.

/ (smVIH CUREfpg It cures Spavins, Splints, Curbs, Ring bones and all similar blemishes, and removes the bunch without blistering. For man it is now known to be one of tho best, if not the best liniment ever discovered. We feel positive that every man can have perfect success in every case if he will only use good common sense in applying Kendall’s Spavin Cure, and pre servo in bad cases of long standing Read below the experience of others. FROM COL, L. T. FOSTER. Youngstown, 0., May lU, 1880. Di- B. J. Kendall & Co., Gknts.*— I had a very valuable Hambletonian colt which I prised very highly, he had a large bone •pavin on one joint and a smaller one on the other which made him very lame: I had him under the charge of two Veterinary Surgeons which failed to cure him I was one day reading the advertisement of Kendall's Spavin Cure in the Chicago Express, 1 determined at once to try it and got our Druggist here to send for it, they ordered three bottles; I took them all and thought I would give it a thorough trial, I used it according to directions and by the fourth day the colt ceased to be lame, and the lumps bad entirely disappeared. I used but one bottle and the colts limbs are as free from lumps and as smooth as any horse i» the State. He is entirely cureJ. The cure was so remarkable that 1 let two of n>y neighbors have the remaining two bottle'ls who are now using it. Very repecstfuly,, L. T. FOSTER. Perseverance Will TelL Stoughton, Mass., March 16, 1880. B. J. Kendall i Co., Gents: justice to you and myself, I think I ought to let you know that I have removed two bone spavins with Kendall's Spavin Cure, one very large one, don’t know how long the spavin had been there. I have owned the horse eight months. It took me four months to take the large one off and two for the small one. I have used ten bottles. The horse is extremely well, not at all stiff, and no bunch to be seen or felt. This is a wonderful medicine. It is a new thing here, but if it does for all what ithas done for tre its sale will be very great. Respectfully yours, CHASE PARKER. KENDALL’S SPAVIN CURE. Acme, Mich, Dec 28. 1879. Dr B J Kendall & Co. Gents:—l sent you one dollar for your Kendall's Spavin Cure last summer which cured a bone spavin with half a bottl*. The best liniment I ever used. Youts respectfully, HOMER HOXIE. From Rev P. .V.Granger Presiding Elder of the St Albans Dsstrict. St Al bans, Vt, Jan 20, 1880. Dr B J Kendall & Co, Gents:—ln reply to your letter I will say that my experience with Kendall's Spavin Cure has been very •atisfoccory indeed* Three or four yoa:s igo I procured a bottle of your agent, an i with it cured a horse of lameurss caused by a spavin. Last season mj- horse became <ame and I turned nun out fora few weeks ehen he became better, but when 1 pm lim on the road he grew wo se, when I iiscovered that a ringbone was forming, I procured a bottle of Kendall's Spaviu Cure ind with less than a bottle cured him so hat he is not lame, neither can the bunch >e found. Respectfully yours, P N GRANGER. Statement Made Under Oath. To whom it may concern—ln the year t 875 I treated with Kendall’s Spavin Cure, t bone spavin of several months’ growth, tearly half as large as a hens egg, and lompletely stopped the lameness and renoved the enlargement. I have worked he horse ever since very hard, and never las been lame, nor could I ever see any lifference in the size of the hock joints lince I treated him with Kendall’s Spavin Dure. R A GAINES.

KENDALL’S SPAVIN CURE On human flesh it has been ascertained by repeated trials to be the very best liniment ever used for any deep seated pain of long statnding, or of short duration. Also for corns, ounions, frost bites, or any bruise, cut or lameness- Some are afraid to use it on human simply because it is a horse medicine, but you should remember that what is good tor beast is gojd for man. and we know from experience that ‘‘Kendall's Spavin Cure can be used on a child 1 year obi with perfect safety. Its effects are wonderful on human flesh and it does not blister or make a sore. Try it and be convinced. What is Good for Beast is Good for Man. BBAD ITS BrrBCTS ON HUMAN rr.KSH I Patten's Mills, Washington co. N Y, 1 February 21, ln7B. J B J Kendall, MD, Dear Sir:—T he particular case on which I used your Ke »- drll’a Spavin Cure was a malignant ankle sprain of sixteen months stan ling. 1 hi l tried many things, but in vain. Your “Kendall Spavin Cure" put the foot to the ground again, and, for the first time sin*e hurt, in a natural position. For a family liniment it excells anything we ever used Yours truly, REV M P BELL Pastor M E church, Patten's Mills, N Y . Bakersfield, Vt, Dec 23, 1879.

B J Kendall & Co, Gents—l wish to add my testimony in favor of your invaluable liniment, ‘’Kendall's Spavin Core.” In the spring of 1872 I slipped on the ice and sprained my right limb at the knee joint I was very lame and at times suffered Ihs most exerueiating pain. I wore a bandage on it for over a year, and tried most everything in my reach, but could find nothing that would give me permanent relief. When I overworked it would pain me very much. In April 1878 I began to think I should be a cripple for life; but having some of “Kendalls Spavin Cure" thought I would try it. I used one-third of a bottle, and experienced relief at once. Theywn left me and has not troubled me since. 1 feel very grateful to you and would recommend ‘Kendall's Spavine Cure to all who suffer with sprains and rheumatism. Yours truly, Mrs. J. 801-till. KENDALL’S SPAVIN CURE. Kendall's Spavine Cure is sure in its effec s, mild in its action as it does nolblister, yet it is penetrating and powerful to reach any deep seated yain or to remove any bony growth or any other enlargement if used for several days, such as spavins, splints, curbs, callous, sprains, swellings, any lameness and all enlargements of the joints or limbs, or rheumatism in man and for any purpose for which a liniment is used for man or beast. It is now known to be the best liniment for man ever used, acting mild and yet certain in its effects. It is used full strength with perfect safety at all seasons of the year. Send address for illustrated Circular which we think gives positive proof of its virtues. No remedy hasever met with such unqualified success to otsr knowledge, for beast as well as maa.
