How a Senator’s Mother Was Cored.

Mrs. Jones, of Gold Hill, mother of Senator John P. Jones, of Nevada, was for many months afflicted with a distressing affection of the stomach, from which she suffered greatly. One day, while on the second floor of her home, she started to go into a closet, as she thonght, but opened the door leading to the staircase instead. Not noting her mistake, she walked off the landing and fell violently to the bottom of the steps, inflicting upon herself some painful bruises, but sustaining no other injuries. ‘Before she had scarcely recovered from her shaking np she began to experience a change of health in another direction that more than compensated her for a temporary lameness, for, lo and behold, her stomachic troubles had left her, and in their place came a healthy appetite, with a vigorous digestion, that gives the good old lady a new lease of life., She does not know to what to attribute this ehange, unless it be her lucky accident on the stairsteps. Similar cases are said to have been known before. —Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise.
