THE CONTENTED COBBLER. The shoemaker sang while he hammered away, “ Oh, who Is as happy as I am to-day? I save twenty soles where the parson saves one, And I always heel when the doctor heals none. “ I sit on the bench like aJudge and I Iwot The people who say that my measures don’t suit; X cut all my uppers; I care not for caste; My very first pleasure each day is my last. “I'm always a-mendlng while others fall ill, And when I am thirsty with cobblers I fill, I'll never peg, out, for I always peg in, And how can I lose when I’m shoer to win? “My goods are all soled before finished, and I Can foot many Bills without heaving a sigh; In fact I am envied by little and tall, For of this world’s blessings alone I have awl.” —Detroit Free Dress.

IN A COAT POCKET.

Astley Cowper, hat in hand, was just turning the handle of the street-door, when a soft call from the stair-top made him pause. “Are you going to the postoffice, Astley?” ' . “No, not exactly, but near it. Is there anything you want done ?” “Only this letter to post,” and a girlish shape flitted down the stair. Astley watched as she descended, and, with suddenly sharpened recognition of the fact, said to himself, “What a pretty girl Rosamond is!” Brothers are not always so alive to their sisters’ charms, but the fact was that rarely in her life had Rosamond Cowper been so near to perfect beauty as at that moment, when she came down the old stair-case, letter in hand; her cheeks flushed with deepest pink; her eyes shining, and her red lips parted with I know not what happy stir of emotion and expectancy. Two long braids of pale brown hair, thick and glossy as those of German Gretchen, hung down her back. On the fair forehead clustered a fringe of light waving rings, not cut and trained after the manner of the conventional bang, but a happy freak of nature and accident. The slender figure in its white dress had all the rounded grace of youth and perfect health. Over all was an air of virginal freshness, indescribable, but charming. It was one of those bel momenli which come at times to most young creatures. But Rosamond was too much preoccupied to be conscious of her looks, as she handed the letter to her brother, with fingers which trembled a little, and said anxiously, “You won’t lose it, wiil von, Astley?” “Certainly not;” with a superior smile. He "stuffed it carelessly into a side-pocket of his coat, a coat made, like the rest of his suit, of that immaculate white duck, in which our youthful swells delight to array themselves in hot July weather. Forth he went, clean, alert, handsome, the very picture of a luxurious young fellow enjoying a holiday. No thought of betraying Rosamond’s trust was in his mind, and liis steps had already turned toward the postoffice, when a dog-cart drew up sudden y and a cheery hail roused his attention. “Well met, old fellow. I was just going round to ask if you felt like a game of tennis. The Porters sent a note e ir-ly in the morning, to ask me to drive down to the Croft for luncheon and a game, and to bring you.” “All right. I will.” Astley jumped into the cart and in another moment was bowling down the roa l toward the Croft —a pretty country plane some three miles distant. Rosamond’s commission was clean forgotten.

Tennis was followed by luncheon, that by more tennis, and a conversation under the shade of the branching cedars which flanked the ground. Then pretty Mabel Porter proposed a walk, and led the way through a grassy valley to the gorge beyond, where a little brook tore its wild way from higher levels to the water meadows below. The rocks over which the party climbed were slippery here and there, and, in saving Mabel from a fall, Astley himself had a tumble, trifling in itself, but damaging to the duck suit; so damaging in fact that the suit went to the laundress next day. Before its return the weather had changed to that odd, almost autumnal coolness which checkers and tempers the heat of our American summers. It was some time before Astley had occasion to wear it again. When it was taken for use, by mere accident lie was searching for something in the pocket, when his astonished fingers encountered and drew forth a rather thick, flat, hard square of paper for which he could In no way account. His first sensation was one of unmixed bewilderment.

“Why, what on earth? A letter, and ■what letter?”—and he proceeded to smooth the rumpled mass out on the table. A few faintly-written characters were discernible on what had been an envelope. Mr. Dw— Edg r, T. Box 5 New Y—“Dwight Edgar. Why, what does this mean ? I have had no letter from him,” reflected the astonished Astley, still intent on the disorganized fragments. “But stay—this isn’t a letter from him—but to him. How could it get into my pocket ?” Here and there a sentence could be made out, or parts of sentences. “I am so very, very happy, but I can’t tell you about that until” “Ought to have got your letter four days ago.” “So you needn’t go to' Europe, you see, for” and then a blurred signature “Come soon to your own Bos It flashed across him then. This was the letter which Rosamond had given him to post four weeks ago. It had lain in his pocket all this time, and had gone through the wash beside. Here was a pretty kettle of fish. Quickly liis mind ran over the disjointed phrases, reading the half-oblit-erated meaning “between the lines.” The letter was in reply to an offer from Edgar, there could be no doubt of that. Astley had ahvavs suspected that there was a tenderness in that quarter. And Rosamond had said “yes.” What must she have been thinking and feeling all these weeks ? And then a groan escaped from Astley, as it flashed upon his mind that only a fortnight since he had road Dwight Edgar’s name in the list of “sailed for Europe;” read it aloud, with some careless comment. Rosamond was in the room, lie recollected. What had she said ? Had she said anything? He seemed to remember that she got up quietly and left the room. How should he ever tell her ? And what use to tell, when Dwight was gone, gone for years, as likely as not ? Oh, what had his carelessness done ? “I suppose he went because he thought she would have nothing to say tohim,” he said to himself, miserably. The sound of the dinner bell interrupted his unpleasant meditations, and he went down feeling as if he ought to be hanged. Rosamond was in her usual place, neat, graceful, smiling even; but, studying her face with awakened attention, Astley thought that he detected effort in the smiles and the cheerfulness. The sweet face was a little thinner; the wildrose bloom, which was its characteristic, had paled to a fainter pink, and Astley heard his mother ask, “Headache again, my child?” And caught the patient answer, “Just a little,” With increased remorse he execrate^

his carelessness. What ought he to do ? What could he do ? Long and deeply did he study over the question. At last he took a halfmanly, half-cowardly resolution. Confess liis delinquency to his sister he absolutelv dared not, but that night he wrote to Dwight Edgar, made a full exposition of his fault, and inclosed the faintly-blotted scrap that said so little and meant so much. Tliis done, he set himself to wait for the moment when he could produce evidence that, so far as in him lay, he had made amends for his misdoing, and till then he resolved to be silent. Astley was right in his guess. Dwight Edgar had gone to Europe a deeply disappointed man. In the letter, to which Rosamond’s was answer, he had written, “Don’t say no. I could not bear that, nor could I give your gentleness the pain of uttering the word. I will wait two weeks, and, if at their end you have said nothing, I shall go abroad, and travel till I can bear to come home again.” Not a wise arrangement this, considering what chances and changes, including postoflice laxities, are involved in this mortal life; but lovers are not always wise. The two weeks passed without word or token, each slow day deepening his hopelessness, and at their end lie sailed. His final arrangements were made in a hurry, and he had been glad to accept a friend’s benevolent offer of half a stateroom on the over-crowded steamer. It was benevolence very poorly re’warded, for John Blagden found him very dull company. For the first few hours he made some little effort at conversation, then ho dropped all pretenses and sat in moody silence, staring at the backward horizon from which each stroke of the paddles carried them farther and farther. It was no better after they reached London. The two men took a set of rooms together at the Langham, but to all plans for pleasuring Dwight turned a deaf ear. “Go by yourself, that’s a good fellow,” he said. “I won’t bore you with my dullness. I’ll just sit here till posttime and read tho American newspapers’.” “And that is what I loft him at,” explained John Blagden to a mutual acquaintance encountered in the coffeeroom. “Poring over an old Herald, twelve days out—-what an occupation for a man to take up in London! “Poor Dwight, I never saw a fellow so changed in my life. He’s all cut up about something, and I wish I knew what, for really, I have no notion what I ought to do about him. Nothing I can say makes any difference.” And nothing did make any difference till a week after this conversation, Mr. Blagden returned from an excursion to Hampton Court, to find his friend busily engaged in cramming his belongings into a portmanteau, with a light in his eyes and a color in his cheeks which made him seem a different man. “Halloa! I’m glad you’ve come, old fellow. I’m off at once. ” “Oh? Where to?” “Home. Liverpool train at-9 o’clock and catch the Bohemia.” “Home! The States! Why, what does it mean? You were going to Paris with me on Tuesday, you said. ” “Well, so I did intend, but I’ve had letters, and must get back as soon as possible. ” , “Nothing wrong, I hope.” “Not at all; quite the contrary. Everything is right.” Marveling greatly John Blagden turned to the table, where amid newspapers and torn wrappers, and other debris of a just-arrived mail, lay a sheet of closely-written paper with a little heap on it of something odd and blotted. “What’s that?” he asked, with natural curiosity, stooping down to examine it. Dwight Edgar snatched it up. “It’s —it’s nothing,” he explained—“only a letter I’ve had." Then breaking into a laugh at his'friend’s discomfited countenance, the first real laugh which John had heard him give since they left America, he added: “Never mind, old boy, I’ll explain some day. It’s all right, at least I hope it is, and I know I’ve been a dull, unsocial dog all this time. You’ve been awfully good to put up with me, and I’ll try to make amends the next time we meet.”

Meanwhile the days were passing heavily enough in far-away America, where Rosamond bore her secret pain. She had kept the knowledge of her plighted faith as a choice secret, not-to be revealed till Dwight should come. When he failed to come pride kept her silent still. The news of his departure struck in her heart like a blow. What did it mean ? “I will not be base, or little, or suspicious,” she told herself; “there is some blunder. He will come back, he will explain.” But weeks of suspense and uncertainty passed. She could school her wor Is and her manner, but not her face, and that fair face began to look piteous and Avan. Astley, watching her with compunctious anxiety, felt an ever-deepening lieart-ilche. Three weeks had passed since his letter of explanation was posted. Any hour might bring a response, and he haunted the postoffice with a pertinacity inexplicable to his father. “I can’t stand it much longer,” he told liim-elf. “if that fellow isn’t heard from by to-morrow night, I shall make a clean breast of it to Rosy, and confess the whole thing.” And the next evening, “that fellow” still not being heard from, he did it. Rosamond, spirit-fair and fragile in her white dress, was sitting on the doorstep in the moonlight, and sitting at her feet he plunged into medias res. “Rose, do you recollect a letter you gave me to post more than a month ago ?” “Yes,” with a little gasp. “Well, I forgot it.” “0 Astley!” “Yes; it was in my pocket, you know. I was going straight to the office, but something interrupted me—lawn tennis at the Porters’, I believe—and then I sent my coat to the wash, with the letter still in it. I never found it out till the confounded thing came back, and some days after, as I put it on, I happened to feel it in the pocket, and there it was—what was left of it.” Rosamond sat perfectly still. Not a souud came from her lips. Astley waited an instant, as if in hope of an answer, then went on: “Rosy, darling, you mustn’t mind, but I couldn’t help seeing who the letter was for, and that—that—it was something of consequence. It was all blotted and blurred, but a word or two could be made out here and there. I was awfully cut up about it. I couldn’t bear to tell you, and I didn’t knoAv what to do. At last I wrote a full explanation to DAvight, and I put the scraps in my letter.” “Astley!” There was a ring of hope and of dismay in the exclamation. So absorbed were both that neither noticed that some one swung the gate just then. “Yes, I did. It went three weeks ago yesterday, and by to-morrow you ought to hear from him, that is, if he happened to be in London the mail got in. I didn’t mean to teR you till his letter came, but I could xfpit no longer. Just say you forg—•wb^-what

is it?” as Rosamond sprang to her feet with a cry, “Dwight! Dwight!” “She’s fainted!” exclaimed Astley, in an awe-struck tone, as his sister’s head dropped heavily on his arm. But happiness is a better restorative than burnt feathers, and in a little time Rosamond was able to assure Astley of her forgiveness, to smile and ask questions, and finally be left on the doorstep for a long moonlight talk with her truant correspondent. When I saw Mrs. Dwight Edgar at Newport last year, she wore on her wrist a slender‘chain, to which was attached a locket whose lid was a big moonstone. Within was a singular little wad of what looked like paper which had been wet and pressed together. When I asked what it could be, she answered, evasively, “Oh, papier mache; a bit of an old letter which Dwight makes me wear. There’s quite a story about it, but it s too long too tell. ” Her husband chuckled, and later, seeing that I was curious, he told me the story which I have told to you. “And you never saw any one so reformed as Astley is, ever since then,” added Rosamond, with a laugh in her voice. “He’s the most particular creature you ever saw, always fidgeting and fussing for fear he may have forgotten something. If he lives to be a hundred, you m iv depend upon it, he will never again forget another letter in a coat pocket.” —Susan Coolulge, in Youth’s Companion.

KILLED BY AN EDITOR.

Tragic Death of a Prominent St. Louis Lawyer. He Goes to a Newspaper Office for Satisfaction and Gets a Bullet. Col. A. W. Slayback, a prominent attorney of St. Louis, Mo., was shot and instantly killed in«the editorial rooms of the Sfc. Louis Dos'-Dispatch by Col. John A. Cockerell, the chief editor of that paper. Slayback had come to demand an explanation of an assault on him through the columns of the paper of a political nature, and, as alleged, was attempting to draw a revolver, when Cockerell anticipated him, and he fell a corpse. The following particulars of the tragic affair arc gleaned from the St. Louis papers: At about 5: JO o’clock p. m., Col. Slayback and W. H. Clopton were seen turning the corner of Fourth and Market streets, talk ng together in an excited mood, and evidently tending in tAe direction of the Post-Dispatch building. The stairs loading to the reportoi iat rooms were climbed in haste, and Cockerell and Slavback met face to face. The Colonel began to denounce Cockerell in a sea hing manner for the assaults made upon him by the Post-Dispatch. In the fury which had taken possession of him the Colonel drew a revolver from his pocket ns if to wreak vengeance for the outrage which had been inflicted on his honor. Cockerel), who had the advantage of his adversary by reason of his self-possession, also drew his revolver arid fired at Slayback. who fell mortally wounded and gasped his last breath in a few minutes afterward. The immediate came of CoL Slayback s action is supposed to he the following, which appeared in the Post-Dispatch: “Mr. Alonzo W. Slavback, an individual whose chief claim to distinction rests upon the fact that he is the law partner of Col. .Tames O. Broadhead, rose in a meeting of Democratic ward politicians in this city last night, and, without personal provocation, proceeded to apply a string of vile and virulent epithets to the Post-J)isj)atch and its conductors, making charges which he knew to he false. This is the same A. W. Slayback concerning whom the following card was written and published in this city by John M. Glover on the 11th day of November, 1881. Mr. Glover recently ran as a Democratic candidate for Congress in the Ninth district, and received a hearty indorsement from the Democratic voters of character. <> Mr. Glover is alive yet. ” The letter referred to above was an open one by John M. Glover, accusing Col. Slayhack of cowardice, and was published in the Post-Dispatch. After the killing the body was taken to an undertaker’s. Col. Slayback was a well-known lawyer and brother of Charles E. Slayback, President of the Merchants’ Exchange. He leaves a widow and six children, the eldest a grownup daughter, and the youngest an only boy of a few vears. Judge W. H. Clopton, who accompanied Col. Slayback to the office, made a statement as to what occurred. He sa-. s most positively that Slayback was unarmed; that ho was greatly excited and avowed his intention before reaching the office of slapping the editor. On arrival at the office Clopton says Slavback entered the sanctum of Mr. Cockerell and was proceeding to divest himself of his coat, nd had it partly off when the shot was fired, which struck the victim in the left breast, just below the left nipple, producing death almost instantly. Cockerell drove to police headquarters and surrendered himself. John M. McGuffin and Victor T. Cole made a statement as to what occurred in the room where the shooting took place. They say, in substance, that Slavback, on entering the room, threw his coat hack and drew a revolver, and, advancing, said: “Well, I’m here sir. ” Then, observing a weapon on Cockerell’s desk, he asked: “Is that for me?” To which Cockerell replied, “No, it’s for use only to defend myself. ” Slayback, then said, “You are prepared to draw; then draw.” And Cockerell then answered, “I don’t have to draw; I don e want to draw; go away from here; I don’t want to have anything to do with you. ” Slayback and Clopton meantime pressed forward and crowded Cockerell against the walL Then they all got into a sort of tussle, each having hold of the other, Cockerell being the most crowded. The latter asked McGuffin to take Slayback’s pistol from him, and while he was attempting to do so a weapon was discharged, and Slayback staggered and in a moment sank to the floor. McGuffin says he did not see Clopton have a pistol, but thought he was attempting, in his struggle with Cockerell, to turn the latter’s weapon in such a way that he woulcf shoot himself. McGuffin obtained Slayback’s pistol, and locked it up in a safe.

THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.

Abstract of tlie Report of the Commissioner of the General Land Office. The Commissioner of the Land Office, in his annual report, states that the lands noAV embraced Avithin the limits of the public domain amount to 900,030,000 acres, including Alaska. He recommends that the Pre-emp-tion laAv be abolished, as the Homestead laws cover all cases now arising. Public sales of land last year amounted to 7,933 acres, embracing 5,010 acres near Toledo, Ohio, which were sold for $10,735, an average of $3.38 per acre. Respecting the forfeiture of railroad grants the Commissioner says: “ The status of various grants for railroad purposes where roads have not been constructed within the time prescribed by law Avas reported to Congress March 28 last. The absence of legislative action touching the renewal of these grants or declaring the forfeiture thereof seriously embarrassed the Avork of this office. It is not deemed expedient to certify additional lands to the railroad companies, nor to award to the companies lands in dispute between them and settlers or other claimants, pending the determination of Congress in the premises. Large numbers of settlers occupy such lands, and it is important to know whether they can receive their titles from the United States, or whether they Avill be required to purchase from the railroad companies. Commissioner Macfarland submits an estimate for the salaries and contingent expenses of the next fiscal year, amounting in the aggregate to $453,940, which is an increase of the amount appropriated for the current fiscal year of $33,940. The increase is distributed generally among the bureau officers, and includes $3,000 for an Assistant Commissioner. In accordance with an act passed at the last session of Congress, the Commissioner of the General Land Office is now preparing for publication a volume containing the codified Land laws and the history of the public domain of the United States, compiled and prepared by the Public Lgnd Commission, with all of the subsequent Land laws passed up to the day of adjournment of the last Congress. There will be a limited number of volumes published for general distribution, and many applications for them have already been received from lawyers and persons engaged in the land business, to whom the book will be of much value. A little boy had his long curls cut off, and Avas annoyingly reminded of the fact by the remarks of all his friends. Going Avitli his family into the country, soon after his arrival he came running into the house in great sorrow, crying: “Mamma, mamma, even the hens laugh at me; they all say: ‘Cut-cut-cut-got-your-hair-out,’ Country Gentleman.

A MOB’S FURY.

Summary Justice Administered to an Indiana Wife Murderer. A Hot Fight with the Authorities— One of the Lynchers Killed. After a desperate resistance by the Sheriff and his deputies and the officers of the city, Hume Redman, who murdered his wife at Mount Vernon, Ind, was taken from the Evansville jail by a mob, and in the battle that ensued was shot dead. David Murphy, a relative of the murdered woman, was also killed. Dispatches from Evansville furnish the following particulars of the lynching: The first intimation of the disturbance which resulted in Redman’s death was received by Night Turnkey Hatmacher at the jail at 2:10 this morning. At that hour a communication was received by him through the telephone from Ullmer’s brewery that a masked mob had parsed up the street. The turnkey immediately notified Newitt, who hastened to the jail. Hatmacher, after notifying Newitt, went to the Sheriff’s residence to give the alarm. Sheriff Kerth and Deputies Mauntel and Martin and Tom Kerth, Jr., were on the alert, prepared to defend the jail and the prisoner. Newitt soon arrived and went into the Clerk’s office to telephone for assistance. He heard the clattering of the horses’ hoofs coming up the howldered streets, and hurried back into the jail. Sheriff Kerth was at the front door of the Court House when the mob arrived The mob dismounted, picketed their animals, left a guard to cover their retreat and captured all the citizens who happened to he attracted to the scene, while a portion of the mob ma >e a dive for the jail Kerth fired at them, but they did not falter. They took him a prisoner, and were into the jail yard in a jiffy. Two blows were sufficient to break in the outside wooden door, and the mob was in the jail halL Newitt, Martin and Tom Kerth, Jr., opened up a brisk fire, which was responded to by the mob, who poured a fuffiade through the door. Chisels and sledge-hammers were coon brought and willing hands went to work, and in a twinkling the jail door was open. Newitt ran hack to Redman’s cell and sa’d to him: “I have done all I could for you; they will get you. ” And he replied: “Give me a revolver and I will kill some of them. ” When the jail door was opened the mob rushed through the corridor to Redman’s cell, and in a minute it was opened and Redman in their handa- They tied his hands with a strong rope and led him out. The officers all this time were trying to escape from jail and get assistance so as to capture the mob, or some of them. Newitt managed to get into the Sheriff’s residence and run up-stairs to the front window, which he opened, and blew his whistle. Then the mob followed him and threw him downstairs. When be got up the mob were bringing Redman out of the front door. They were ordered to halt, when their leader replied: “We are from Posey county and came after Redman, and we are going to have him. ”

An alarm of fire having been given out in the city, the chemical engine came rapidly up the’ street, and, strikin'.! the buggy into which the mnb had placed Redman, overturned it. This threw the mob into some di-order, when one of the leaders said: “Put him on horseback.” This order was countermanded, and orders were given to kill him on the spot. One of the band seized a sledge-hammer and dealt Redman a powerful blow on the head, felling him to the gr rnnd. At this point Chief of Police Pritchell arrived on the scene. One of the mob ran up to him and said: “Go away from here, Pritchell; we don’t want to kill you,” at the same time snapping a revolver in his face, hut liis hand was knocked up in the air before the weapon was discharged By this time several officers were on the ground, who, without the orders of their superiors, opened fire on the rapidly-retreating mon. The mob fired as they retreated. They were well armed A regular pitched battle was fought on Third street. Bullets whistled in every direction. Chief Pritchell .and Detective Newitt, who led the fight against them, made an effort to capture some of them, but the firing was so hot they were compelled to lie Hat on the ground to escape death. The result of the battle was that Redman was killed where he was stricken down with the sledge-hammer. Over two dozen balls entered his body. It was at that place that David Murphy, a brother-in-law of the murdered woman, met his death. The moo was so intent on killing Redman that they fired helter-skelter through their own ranks. It was then that Murphy found his death. The officers arrested several t f the mob. A dispatch from Mount Vernon says that David Murphy, one of the mob who was killed in Evansville, was buried in that city. Five hundred people attended his funeraL After the funeral a fund of SIOO was ra sed for a monument. A large sum was also subscribed for the benefit of his three orphan children. Great indignation was expressed by Posey county people on account of his death. _

BARBED WISE.

A Great Legal Victory of Interest to Farmers and Manufacturers. [From the Chicago Tribune.] An important decision to holders of patents for barbed wire was given by Judge Gardner in the case of the Chicago Galvanized Wire Fencb Company against the Washburn & -Moen Manufacturing Company. After the final decision by Judges Drummond and Blodgett in the famous barbed-wire cases settlements, as is well knoAvn, Avere made Avith all those who held any patents for barbed Avire or barbed-wire machines, under which the patents were to be surrendered to the company, and the patentees allowed to manufacture on paying certain royalty. The complainant’s agreement provided that the royalty to be paid under their license was not to be greater than that charged to any other party licensed after the Ist of January, 1881, under the several letters patent mentioned in the license, and if the Washburn & Moen Company should license other parties to manufacture under such patents at a less sum than three-quarters of a cent a pound then the royalty to be paid by complainant should be correspondingly reduced. Jacob Haish, however, after a vigorous fight, finally settled on far more favorable terms, and the claimant insisted that he was entitled to as good conditions as Haish. The latter was allowed to make 4,000 tons of wire a year without paying any royalty, and 4,000 tons more at a royalty of only half a cent a pound. The Judge held that the chief object of the settlement with Haish was the termination of the litigation with him; that the purchase of his patents and the Stevens claim was a secondary matter, and was used to give the appearance of a consideration to what was in reality a license free of royalty for the manufacture of 4,000 tons yearly of barbed-wire and of 4,000 tons more at a less rate by 25 cents a hundred pounds than to the other licensees,and so a reduction to Haish to that extent, of which the complainants had a right to avail themselves under their lease. In so far as the complainant sought to secure any benefit on account of the damages for infringement agreed to be paid by them, the Judge was not inclined to grant any relief, as it was doubtful Avhether it could be given under the bill, and the settlement with Haish in that regard was not a violation of any agreement or understanding with the complainant.

Anxiety and Care.

It may not be generally knovm that anxiety and care will break down even a strong constitution in a very short time, yet such is the fact. However, the pernicious effect of debility resulting from these causes can be easily counteracted by a timely use of Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla Its refreshing effect on mind and body is truly wonderful. It exhilarates without intoxi- , eating. Ask your druggist to get it for you. St. Isaac’s, the great cathedral at St. Petersburg, which was finished in 1859 at a cost of $25,000,000, is slowly sinking into the ground, and the authorities do not know how to stop it. The Russian capital is built upon a marsh, and the site of St. Isaac’s is on one of its softest parts. Over $1,000,000 was originally spent in driving piles, but the building has never been firm, and now threatens to topple over at one corner. Dr. Hall says that taking a walk before breakfast has put more people into their coffins than the ailments they were seeking to get rid of. The attention of tramps is particularly called to this statement. Mas. 8. A Kimball, of Yellow Springs, Ohio, writes: “The anxiety and care of a large family worried me considerably, and I became very weak and nervous, and my habits were very irregular. I had heard Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla spoken of very highly as a female medicine, and so I tried it. Its effect on me has been all I could desire, and I join my friends in its praise, for it has made me strong and well,"

The fastest time in which a mile has been ran in the United States is 1:39f, made by Ten Broeck, 5 years old, in a race aga'nst time at Louisville, Ky., May 24, 1877. Ten Broeck carried 110 pounds. Olitipa has the fastest halfmile performance to her credit, she making the distance at Saratoga, July 20, 1874, in 47f seconds. She was 2 years old and carried ninety-seven pounds. ___

TO THE TIMING MEN OF AMERICA. The secret of success in business is to buy when cheap and sell when dear. At certain seasons and in certain localities nearly all articles ent Tiii'-T into the process of living can be purchased at a much lower price than is paid for them at Inter dates or at distant points. Ihe individual or company possessing the means to*keep such articles in a fresh and sweet- condition, from their cheap season to the time they become scarce and consequently or who can slop perishable commodities from the scene of their production to a distant market, holds in a Ann tfrasp tlio key of fortune. . . , ... It has been abundantly shown, by recent investigations, that the decomposition of annual matter is always associated with, and is probably dependent upon, the growth ot the microscopic known as barterta, and that the various means by which the growth of bacteria may bo prevented will also prevent the occurrence of decomposition. . .... , , . . The world owes much of its lirescnt intelligence on this sub.iect to the researches awl elaiiorate experiments of Prof. Hcndig, of Australia, who has devoted his life to the study ot the iiuestion of how to overcome the tendency to decomposition existing naturally in all articles oi food, in tne course of his investigations he determined to seek for a compound whjgh should Ih> an actual antiseptic in its permanent condition, and the article which is at the present tirne brought to tin* Attention of the world, nnd which is called Ilemlly'H sustains liis claims to having solved the* problem of successfully overcoming decomposition in all animal structures. H.v practical experiments and tests, extending over a period of six years, with such articles as beef, ganie, lish, eggs, butter, milk, cider, wine, etc., the most astonishing proofs have been secured that the process is triumphantly successful. Beef lias l>eon kept in a perfectly fresh and palatable condition tor three years, without ice or other means to regulate temperature, by simply passim; it through the process, A single steak or a whole carcass can bo operated on with equal success, and the cost of rendering meats of all kinds impervious to taint or decomposition is but trifling -not to exceed oik* ifiill per pound. A quarter of beef was treated on the nth of August, isrs, and on the Ist of •fuly, 1HHI• two yearn afterward, the fibrinous tissue of the beef was in perfect condition, the incut perfectly sweet and palatable, and was eaten by the uninformed awl enjoyed as particularly fine fresh beet. Jno only effect its long keeping had was to render it exceedingly tender and succulent. Warm air, thunder-storms, or any other c ause, will not sour milk thus treated, and the element of loss through souring, which the milk-dealer or consumer now sutlers irom, is entirely overcome. The milk-dealer can-occupy three to six days in shipping his milk to market, and then still have plenty of time to dispose of it before it sours. When the Preservative is added to cream, the latter undergoes no change in the hottest weather, and cream thus prepared has been sent both to Doudon and to Paris, from Sydney, arriving sweet and good at its destination in either ease. Butter, when first- made, or if treated after shipment, will remain perfectly sweet and pur©. A firkin of butter thus prepared was kept for six months in an ordinary temperature, then shipped across the ocean, sent o.v rail from Han Francisco to New York, thence by steamer to Liverpool, and a portion taken out. and oaten: then the balance was returned by water to Sydney, where it arrived in perfect condition. A member of this company ate some of this butter, now 'l% years old, and found it as sweet as the day it was churned. , . . . f .. Tlii& process is the only one. in the. world t up to the prescuif time, by \yhich eggs can bo success fully kept. As an evidence of its completeness and never-falUna virtue 10 this line, we make the following guaranty: 111 at any person may send or bring us any number of eggs, from one egg to live dozen. On each egg the name or any other identification-mark may lie placed, either with ink or pencil, so that there may be no chancre for deception. For every eaa that we do not de/iner at the dale required . perfectly sweet anti fresh , ire. will nay One Dollnr —$1 .(V) for e»wh egg. Iho only condition attached is that the eggs shall Ik; sweet and shall “candle” clear when received. . . . .. The process and means by which such results can be secured, as developed and perfected by trio eminent scientist., Prof. Hendig, have been intrusted to the undersigned company lor introduction and use throughout the world. , , .. We have selected the United States ns the best country from winch to supply the world. Within the borders of fids country are produced the bulk of the world’s food supplies, and m no other country can l>c found keener business men, or readier brains and hands to utilize and profit by any great discovery. Cincinnati, Ohio, is the best shipping point in this country, it is centrally loealeu, ■with railroads and water transportation in all directions, and tin*, cheapest average treight charges can be secured. For foreign shipments we have depots in the seaboard cities. The method of introduction, use* and sale will be as follows: Agents or managers will be located in different sections. Each agent will be empowered to supply all who desire to use it for domestic or business purposes; as well as to contract, with linns or companies tor its exclusive use in particular lines of business, kui’li as the application of the process to the egg or meat, or any other packing or shipping business, or to use. it. for his <mm profit exclusively. \N hilo the j field for a riehly-prontabie business in selling the material to consumers is a virgin soil which will yield a most bounteous harvest to the agent, the greatest profits and rewards do not lie in that direction. On the contrary, the possibilities of profit in handling this wonderful article in. one's torn business are so spiencllu, so far above and beyond the rewards to be secured in following any other line ot pursuits, that one may well Ih» pardoned for indulging in the most extravagant anticipations. \V lien one has the means to so control the ordinary processes of nature that he can pick up any article of a perishable nature when it is cheap, and hold it sweet, pure and perfect, until it doubles or trebles in value, there is no limit to the profits which ho can secure. The recent system of shipping dressed meats from Lineage'to Eastern cities, in refrigerator cars, lias created no end of comment and prognostications as to the immense fortunes being realized. If such a system is valuable, widen requires expensive ana specially-constructed cars, large supplies of ice, or other means of creating a certain uuiiperature» and which necessitaU;s the disposal or consumption of the meat at once as soon as it leaves suen artificial surroundings, what should lx* said of a discovery which enables one to bold meat or other perishable articles without expense or trouble , and in any temperature or under an.v conditions, with no risk or possibility of loss? So perfect is this antiseptic in its effect that, among other severe tests. even a settinq hen can not spoil an eqq that has been treated. We have, seen eggs broken aim exposed to the hot rays of a July suns which would not, could not spoilt but remained as sweet for weeks, thus exposed, as the day they were laid. . . , , . e „ , Any man or company who uses this article in a business of holding perishable products for tho market can not fail to become possessed of all the wealth desired. J lie sources of profit are inexhaustible and the extent of such profits unlimited. ,«- _ • . ti |. If the agent desires only to sell the article ti) others, he will have a monopoly which every family or business man in his territory will gladly pay tribute to. It is so easily applied, so perfect in its results, so economical for all mankind, that its sale will regulate itself. Jhe agency tor one. totrnsb/p is worth the income derived in almost any other business from a whole State. Hie stock supplied to an agent, no matter if lie begins with only a township, will rapidly lead linn to a business worth thousands of dollars. , , , . Hendig’s Preservative is shipped in uniform-sized cases, each case containing ip smaller cases. The retail price of the small eases is eui*h 9 and the aniount contained in each will l ,r< * ( J**J r J'J 1,000 ihs. of meat or 1,000 doz. eggs, or a proportionate quantity ot anything (rise. As little may bo used as is required for each application, and there is no waste or loss. Thus each large case, containing 10 smaller eases, sells at retail for . iThe smallest stock shipped by this company is a case containing 10 boxes, and no shipments will be made to any place where an agency has been taken. Prices to agents are as follows: 1 ca«c, *ls, which sell* for *lB, au«l carric* with it the oKcucy for ° n a cawe** «is, which sell for »»«, and carry with them tho agency for thr 3* a»cN"*lo! which *ell for % 144, and carry with them the agency for five townwhip*. . ... 4 case., *SO, which *cll for *192, and carry with them the agency ,or rTa e *c*;W,-which *cll for *330, and carry with them the agency for two coiinflc*, . .... 10 ca*es, #IOO, which well for *4BO, and carry with them the agency for Clircc countii fi. After the first order, and when an agency is established, the Preservative will Ik; furnished only to agents at a uniform price of *lO per case, in any quantity not less than a ease. When it is desired to make tests bciore taking an agency, we will send a small case, to any address in the world, for *3.00. We can not hold territory for any applicant on the strength of his sending for a test, as it would not lie equitable ti> those who order territory stocks. Hie first order lor one or more cases, received from a certain district, secures the agency for the territory applied tor. and the time consumed in making tests is at the risk of the applicant, that the agency may go to unoui«* r. The process is not intricate or difficult. The possession of the Preservative is the only requisite to Buc-ofKs: Any person can line it, nnd no ex pc line need I>. incurredin ifi« apphenUon.
