The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or sinee the Commencement of the : ; Christian Era. b There never has been a time when the healing of 8o many different diseases has been caused by outward application as the present.

Being, however, convinced of the wonderful cures. effected by D=.

e FOR | § 4 s g Chills, Shakes, FEVER AND AGUE. Tarsoro, N, C., 1878, 7 Dg. H. R. STEVENS ! — Dear Sw:—l feel very grateful for what your valuable medicine, Vegetine, has done in my family. I'wish to express my thanks by informing you of the wonderful care of my son; also, to letsyou know that Vegetine is the best medicine I ever saw for Clills, Shakes, Fever and Ague. My ,Bon was sick with measles in 1873, which left him with hip-joint disease. My son suffered a great deal of pain, all of the time; the pain was so great he did nothing but cry.. The doctors did not help him a particle, he coald not lift his foot from the floor, he could not move without crutchs es. Iread your advertisement in the “‘Louisville Courier-Journal,” that Vegetine was a great Blood Purifier and Blood Food. 1T tried one bottle, which was a great benetlt, He kept on with the m'edicine, gradually gaining. He has taken eighteen hottles in.all, and he is completely restored to health, walks without crutches or cane. He is twenty yéars of age. Ihave a younger son, fifteen years of age, whe is subject to Chills.— Whenever bhe feels one coming on, he comes in, #kes a dose of Vegetine and that isthe last of the Chill. Vegetine leaves no bad -effect upon the system like most of the medicines recommended for Chulls, 1 cheerfully recommend Vegetine for such complaints,” I think it is the greatest medicine in the world. Respectfully, . MRS. J. W. LLOYD. .

Veanfing.—When the blood becomes lifeless and stagnant, either from change of weather or of climate. want of exercise, irregular diet, or from any other caunse, the Vegeting will renew the blood, carry off the putrid humors, cleanse the stomach, regulate the bowels, and impart a to.e of vigor to the whole body. . :

Or a Life For a Mortgage.

“That is a splended scheme of yours, Dr. Melville. I shall be glad to help you.” . ; Sy “Understand me well, Bixton. The thing has to be done to-night.,” -« Well 2” : ‘ :

“Now, look across the street ab that window. Old Brotherton sleeps in that room. Ie is very stout, and in’ this hot weather keeps the window of his bed-room open all night. Methodical in hig habits, he always goes to bed at nine o’clock. At that hour I have seen him enter his bed-room night after night with a lighted candle in his hand. To-night I shall lie in wait for Brotherton inthe open window of the adjoining room, from which I can see distinetly every thing he does in his bed-room, which is on the straight line with It. ; .

I AM A DEAD SHOT,

And as seon as he enters his bed-room I shall fire the air-gun, which I have considerably improved, at him, and shoot him through the heart. In all probability he /will drop dead on the floor without uttering a scream. Buf, even if he does cry out no one will hearhim. Then, Bixton, your part of the task will commence. As soon as darkness sets in to-night you will have to conceal yourself in the woodshed adjoining Brotherton’s house. A few minutes before nine you will approach Botherton’s bed-room window close enough to see what takes place there. As soon as I have brought down the old fellow you must climb into the window, enter the adjoining room where Brotherton’s desk stands,:break the desk open and take from it all the papers and money it contains. No one will hear you, for no one but Brotherton lives in the house. Then come quickly over to me, hand me the: papers, and 1 will let you have one of my horses to ride off toward Florida. ; Do you understand me well, Bixtong? b

“Perfectly, Doctor.” | : “Well, then, here is a dark lantern and an excellent steel jimmy. Have you a wateh ?” : . *No, Doctor.” - :* : “Well, you may have this silver walch, Bixton; and here is a $lO bill to get some refreshments, But beware of getting drunk.” © ' “I won’t drink anything but claret, Dr. Melville. But tell me oune thing, please—how much money will I be likely to find in old Brotherton’s desk ?” ; ‘ “Oh, at least $2,000, Bixton. I saw him put nearly that sum into it this very morning.” : ¢ “All right, Dr. Melville, all right. I shall be on hand to-night.” : 3 So saying, Walter Bixton, a youn% man of twenty-five, left the office. o Dr. Melville, a middle-aged physician, with whom he had held : i

THE FOREGOING STARTLING CONVER- " BATION | At Mobile, Alabama, shortly after noon, of a very sultry June day, in the year 1831. SN .When Dr. Melville was alone in his office he threw himself into an easy chair, and was soon absorbed in deep thought. Every now and then he uttered a few incoherent sentences. '**Ah, Jim Brotherton,” he murmured, “youare going to foreclose that mortgage on my house to-morrow! I guess not! You are a childless widower, worth over a hundred thousand dollars, and yoa want to deprive me of what little property I have. I told you to-day that you would regret your hard-heartedness, and you laughsdab e, et . HE CHUOKLED DIABOLICALLY, “I guess not—l guess not!” he repeat'ed’ 5 i 7 - Then he sprang to his feet, and took from a wardrobe an. air-gun, whose lock he examined carefully, , - “From here to Brotherton’s house is about twenty-eight yards, Now, this air-gun carries its small iron bolt twice as far, Let us.try it. ‘Fhere ia e yonder church-roof. I will ~ He took aim and fired. The crow

fell dead. = - ; - “Hal ha! ha!” he laughed, almost alond. “It will be bad for you, Jim Brotherton!” : - - Evening. came round, and, as Dr. -Melville had predicted, a minute or ‘two after nine o’clock, James Brotherton, a, wealthy retired merchant, who lived all-alone in his cozy frame house on Ochiltree streef, entered his bedroom with a lighted wax-candle in his hand. No sooner had he crossed ed the threshold of the bed-room than a bullet hissed through the open window, and entered his left breast. HE SANK TO THE FLOOR WITH A LOW : e GROAN. '

A few seconds later, young Bixton climbed into the window and threw the glaré of his dark lantern into Brotherton’s face. 4 :

It was deadly pale. The eyes looked glassy and rigid. = “Heis dead!” whispered the villain, ‘who rushed inte the adjoining room; broke opeun the desk, and took frem it a ' bundle of paper tied together with redl tdpe, and a large package of bankbills. . g

“By George!” he muttered, gleefully, “there is at least four thousand dollars here!” :

He returned to the bed-room where Brotherton was lying, and threw the light of the lantern .once more upon the victim’s face. Suddenly he uttered aloud cry of terror and dropped the dark lantern.. : Brotherton was not dead. He had opened his eyes very wide, and whispered : { “Ah, is it you, Walter Bixton ?” The young man tried to eseape, but Brotherton had grasped his left leg, and held it in agrip of iron. - A TIORRIBLE STTUGGLE ENSUED. In order to free himself from the old man’s grasp, Bixton stamped him repeatedly in the face, disfiguring him horribly.

Why He Wanted a Receipt.

In the city of Halifax there dwelt a lawyer, crafty, subtle and cute as a fox. An Indian of the Miamie tribe, named Simon, owed him-some money. The lawyer had waited long for the tin.

Then, joining the Mississippi, it stretches away and away some 1,200 miles more, till it falls into the great emblem of eternity.

The wedding of the Earl of Rosebery and Miss Hanna de Rothschild was solemnized in London on the 20th, in a quiet and extremely unostentatious manner.; The union of a peer of England, who dates the origin of' his house from remote times, and the only daughter of the English branch: of the English financiers, is an event in the social world ‘of Great Brifain of peculiar significance. This is the first instance of a lady. of Hebrew extraction being permitted to wear the coronet of an English peeress, If reports are true, the bride possesses rare virtues and charms of mind and body. Her tastes are, as-is natural in such a case, educated and refined to the highest degree. Her residence is a palace of art, adorned with the choicest and richest works of ancient and modern masters. Those who have been honored by invitations to visit the castle pronounce it a fit abode for one: who has been endowed by nature with gifts which enable her to’ appreciate the values of boundless wealth. The. Earl confers a proud title on his new-ly-wedded ' wife, but ~she in’ turn bestows on him the more valued prizes of a well-stored intellect. The fabutous sum of $25,000,000 is the bride’s personal fortune, it is said. SN
