WHY I JOINED THE DETECTIVES.

“Can I sit with you?" “Certainly, sir." “Nice weather?” “Splendid, indeed.” •Crops growing finely F» . “Yes—couldn’t do better.” I was sitting in a car m a Wisconsin railroad, one day, years ago, when a guodlooking, pleaaanLapoken man came along, slopped at my seat, and the above conversation took place, the latter part of it after I had given him part of my seat Now, lam regarded u a social man. I like a joke; mon so then than now. On entering a railroad car £ always looked about for a talkative man, and then I EC as clone to him as possible and drained m dry, it the journey was long enough. And I want to state one thing more, left an orphan before I could real ize the sad event which made me one, I got kicked here and cuffed there, aad grew up between folks, as they say. I ought to have had, at the time of which I write, a pretty thorough knowledge of human natuse, and have been able to read evil in a m&n'B ii he intended me evil. I did not pride myself on being over sharp, but the knocking around among strangers ought to have given any one a good experience. Well, the stranger and I fell into an easy train of conversation as we rode together, and in ten minutes I began to enjoy his company. He was a well-made fellow, finely dressed, and wore a fine watch and a simon-pure diamond ring. I never saw a man who could talk so easy and so pleasantly. It seemed that he had" but to open his mouth and the words fell

right out I had traveled In the south: so had he. I- had heard the roar of the Pacific; he knw all about it. I had been up in a balloon, down in a mine, been blown up smashed up, and repaired again anc again: my new friend had experienced all these things, and was wishing for something of a more startling nature. Weagreeed on politics, neither had any religion, and I had never met such a railroad companion. Did you ever meet a man who, though a stranger to you ten minutes before, could wrest from you your secrets which you had sworn to yourself not to reveal ? Well, he was such a man. It was not lung before he commenced asking me questions. He did not seem to try to quiz or draw me out, but he asked me questions in such a sly, round-about way, that before I knew it I was giving him' my history. i was at that time just on the point of being admitted to the bar of Wisconsin as a student of Law A Law, of Briefville. The firm Were old lawyers with a lucrative practice, and it had been talked over that in about a month I should be the “Co.” of the firm. A year before, a farmer named Preston, down about four miles from Grafton, died, and his matters had been put into the hands of Law A Law for settlement. Preston had died ricb. He had money in bank, railroad stock, and mortgages, etc., and everything was settled uj> to the satisfaction of the relict and

About a year before his death, being pinched for money, and not wishing to sell anything at a sacrifice, Preston had given a mortgage on his farm for SB,OOO. While the papers read “for one year from date,” there was a verbal agreement that it should be lifted any day that Preston desired. A month after, when, having the funds to clear off the paper, the “old money bags” holding it refused to discharge, wishing to secure his interest for for a year. I was on my way to learn the date of expiration. A fire among my office papers had destroyed the memoranda, ana I must go down and get the date from old Grip, who lived south of Grafton, about five miles. The stranger pumped all this out ot me in about ten minutes, and yet I never once suspected he was receiving any information.

“I am not positive,” he added, “but I am pretty sure the time is the 13th, which would be Tuesday next.” “And then vour folks will send down the money ana discharge the mortgage, of course,” he queried. “Oh, yea, I shall most likely bring it down,” t replied, and it never occurred to ma how imprudent I was. . He turned the conversation into other Channels and did not once attempt to pump me further. We got to Grafton at 10:50, and to my great surprise, be announced that he was to stop in town on business for a few days. 1 had not asked his name or avocation, while he knew everything about me. We went to the hotel, had dinner, and then I secured a livery team and drove out, getting through with business so that I was back to take the 8:90 express east My fnend was On the porch of the hotel aa I drove tip, carrying the same honest, dignified face. "Well, did you find out !” he inquired, in his pleasant wav. “Yea.-it was oo the 18th, as I expected,” I replied.

We had lunch together, and when we shook hands and parted I had no more idea of ever meeting him again than I had of knowing you. In fact, he told me that he should sail for England within a week or ten days, and should not return to America. At parting he gave me his card. It was a modest piece of pasteboard, and bore the name of “George Raleigh.” in old English script 8

Everything at the office went on aa usual, and the 18th came at length. Law & Law had arranged with me to go down with the money, and I looked upon it aa a business of no special importance. “We know you are all right,” remarked the senior partner, aa I waa about to go; “but I want to give you a word of warning, neverthelets. Don’t take any strangers into your confidence until you have passed out the money, and look out who aits next to you.** It was something new for him to caution me, aad I could not but wonder at it: but in the bustle of getting on board the train I forgot what was said. Ordinary prudence had induced me to place the money, which wm all in bank bills aad divided into three packages, under my shirt and next to my akin, where the deft hand of a pickpocket could not reach it Interested in a newspaper, time flew by aa the train flew fast, and at length the hoarse voice of the brakeman warned me that I had reached Grafton. I had leaped

*^W?ro3^aS^taS we were discussing it Mr. Haleigh discovered thstthe fam be was going to see was ust beyond that of old Grip’sHow fortuate! I could ride out with him, see the fare, return in his company, and he was greatly pleased. I was also pleased. If any one had told me as we got into the buggy that George Raleigh meant to return with my money in hie pocket and my blood upon his heads I should have believed him a lunatic: and yet George Raleigh had planned to do that very thing. It was a lovely day in June, and the cool breeu aad the sight of the meadown and green groves made my heart grow larger. My companion waa very talkative, but he didn’t even hint at my errand. He talked as fsr away as be eould. “Oh! excuse me!” he exclaimed, after we had passed a mile beyond the village, and were among the farm-houses. “I should have offered you thia before.” He drew from his pocket a small flask of wine and handed it to me. Now, I was temperate in regard to drinka. In fact, I detested the sight aad smell of anything intoxicating. But I had not the moral courage to tell him so, and hand back the flask undisturbed. I feared to offend him, and so I drank perhaps three good swallows. He called my attention to the woods on the left as he received beck the flask, and when I looked around again he waa just removing it from his mouth, ss if he had drank hearty.

In about five minutes I began to feel queer. The fence along the road seemed io grow higher and the trees grow larger; something came to my ears that the rattle of the buggy sounded a long way off. “How strange! Why, I believe lam going to be sick!” I exclaimed, holding on to the seat with all my might. *You do look strange,” he replied, with a snaky smile stealing over his face; “I shouldn’t wonder if it was apoplexy.” I did not suspect the game he had played. His words were like an echo, and his face seemed twice as large as it was. My head began to spin and my brain began to snap and crack, and I was greatly frightened. “You are badly off,” he continued, looking into my face. “1 will drive as fast as possible and get a doctor." My tongue was so heavy that I could not reply. I clutched the seat, shut my eyes, and he put his MBse at his best pace. We met a farmer’s team, and I can remember that one of the occupants of the wagon called out to know what ailed that man. Raleigh did not reply, but urged his horse forward. About three miles from Grafton was a long stretch of forest, and this was soon reached. The pain in my head was not so violent, and I was not so badly affected when opening my eyes. I had settled into a sort of dumb stupor, with a brain so benumbed that I had to say to myself: This is a tree, that is a stump, etc., before I could make sure I was not wrong. Haifa mile down the road after we struck the forest, and then Raleigh turned the horse into a blind road leading back into the woods. I could not understand what he intended. I tried to grapple with the question, but could not solve it “Well, here we are I” exclaimed Raieigli, when we had reached a point forty rods from the main road. He stopped the horse, got out and hitched him, and then came round to the wheel. “You don’t feel just right but I guess you will be better soon,” he remarked. “Come, let me help you down." He reached up his arms, and I let go the seal and fell into them. It seemed to me as if I weighed a ton, but he carried me along without an effort, and laid me down within about a rod of a fence which ran along on one side of an old pasture. Just now I began io get a little better. The effects of the drug were wearing off, and I got a fair suspicion that something unusual had happened. But I was powerless to move a limb; the sensation was like that when your foot goes to sleep. “Can you speak F’ inquired Raleigh bending over me; “because if you can it will save me some trouble. I want to know just where you have stored away that money.” Now I began to realise my situation. His face looked natural again, and the load was off my tongue. I also felt that I could move my fingers a little. “George Raleigh! are you going to rob me?” I asked, finding my voice at last “Well, some folks might call it’robbing,’ but we dress up the term a little by calling it the only correct financial way of equalizing the floating currency, sb that each one is provided for and no one left out.” “You shan’t have the money. I will die first!”l yelled, rising a little. “Ah, I see—didn’t take quite enough,” he coolly remarked. “Well, I have provided for this.”

He went to the buggy, procured ropes and a gag, and kneeled down beside me. I had but little strength yet, and he conquered ms in a moment Lying on my right side, looking toward the fence, he tied my hands behind me, and then forced the gag into my mouth. “There, now ? You see you are nicely fixed up, and all because you acted like a fool, instead of a sensible young lawyer, soon to be admitted to the bar." While he was speaking, indeed while he was tying me, I had caught sight of the white face of a little gill looking at us from between the rails of the fence. I could see her great blue eyes, and knew that She was frightened. There were red stains around her mouth and on the little hand resting on the rail, and I knew that she was some farmer’s child searching for strawberries. I could not warn her other danger, and I feared that she would be seen or heard. While Raleigh was tying the last knot, I winked at the little girl as hard as I could, hoping that she would move away. But she did not go. “Well, now for the money," said Raleigh, and he began searching my pockets. He went from one to the other, removing all the articles; felt down my boot-leg, and then finally passed his hand over my bosom, and found the money.

“Ha! here it is!” he exclaimed, drawing out the package. I don’t hardly believe that old Grip will see any of this to-day.” He sat down near my head, undid the package, and was cool enough to go at it to count the money. As he commenced the little girl waved her hand at me. My heart went thumping, for I expected that she would utter a word or shout; but she sank down from sight, aad I caught a gleam of her frock aa she passed through my young friend,” remarked Raleigh, as he drew off one of his boots and deposited some of the bills in it, “there’s nothing like transacting business as it should be transacted. Borne men would have shot or stabbed you, but it’s only the apprentices who do such work. All the real gentlemen of our calling do business as gentlemen should.” He drew off the other boot, and placed some “fifties” and “twenties” in it, and then continued:

“I have it all planned out how to deal with you aa soon aa I get thia money disposed of around my person. I anil lay you on your back and pour the balance of the wine down your throat There’s enough of it to make you sleep until to-morrow night, and by that time I shall be hundreds of miles away. As soon as I see the drug take effect, I shall untie your hands and remove the gag. When you come out of your sleep—if you ever do—you had better crawl out to the road, where you will most likely meet some traveler soon. I want to use the hone and buggy, otherwise I would leave them for you.” How coolly he talked. He treated the “ Jf ft >ere a regular transaction in which 1 fully acquiesced. He had me a fast prisoner, and! felt that he could do Just aa he pleased. While I was thinking, .u MW : ’; he x c white face B PP ear between the rails again, but in a moment it faded away and it. place was taken by the sun burned phis of a fanner. He looked from me to Raleigh and back again, and I winked at him in a way which he readily understood. His face disappeared, and 1 felt that I should be saved.

Isaw nothing of the fereser, Raleigh abSlttaMbTfiumDCT *m sere, and had run away. My heart want down m Raleigh got up, fori saw that he SS^tSSiiJbSJ sat down astride of me, and then pulled “Now, in Jus* about a minute wall to through with thia business,” he remaiked, trying to put the mouth of ths flask between my jaws. I roDed my head to one side, auLhe did not succeed. He waa jamming the flask against my teeth, when I canglit the sound of a soft step, the crash of a club, and Raleigh roiled off my body. He tried to leap up, but three or four farmers struck him down, and one of the blows rendered Mm senseless. Before be cease to I waa free of ropes and gag, and wo bed him securely bound. Oveifbeyond the psstnre a farmer and his hands were raking hay, “Little Blue Eyes,” only eight years old, had, fortunately for me, witnessed a part <ff Raleigh’s proceedings. She bad hurried back to her father and told him that “a man was all tied up out there." Understanding the situation, he and his men had moved around so as to secure an advantage, and Raleigh’s capture was the result. When the rascal found his senses he was terribly taken back, and cursed enough for a whole Flanders army. We took him back to Grafton, and when I saw him again he was on his way to the penitentiary to serve a sentence of fifteen years. liie mortgage was duly lifted, and the gilt which Law A Law sent to Katy Grey lent her in dresses for many a year. For myself, I felt so humiliated a* having fallen into the rascal’s trap, and so wrathy at the treatment, that I determined to devote myself to a thorough warfare on rogues. 1 therefore Joined the detective force, aad. after due study, took my place as a full fledged detective.

A Mysterious Affliction.

The news spread through the city yesterday of a most singular and mysterious calamity which had befallen the Ursuline Convent, a famous Catholic institution of learning in Brown county, near the line of the M. &C.R. R. The trouble U nothing less than the breaking out in epidemic form among the pupils of the disease known as cAorsa tancti viti, or St Vitus’ dance. The strange malady first made its appearance two or three weeks ago, but was not considered a serious matter until within a tew days, when finding that it had become epidemic, and in one case at least had resulted fatally, the parents of the pupils were informed and requested to remove their children at the earliest moment This has now been so generally done that the convent is almost depopulated, and will not be again opened to pupils until the beginning of the fall term. This institution is the only academy, we believe, founded in the United States by the Ursulines, a French order of nuns noted tor their accomplishments and success as instructors of the young. Among the young ladies who have returned home in consequence of the nervous troubles among the scholars is Miss West Eighth street She is a girl of 14, and has been attending school at the convent for several months past She had come home on Thursday with a number of other girls, and at the time she waa noticeably affected with the St Vitus’ dance, but she had now entirely overcome her nervousness, and walked the streets as composed as anybody. A young lady, who is at present with her mother at one as the hotels, and a sufferer from this disorder, contracted at the Ursuline convent, was also visited. She is exceedingly nervous and hysterical, and her condition has excited grave apprehensions. It is thought however, that the change and proper care will soon bring her out all right A young lady residing in Memphis was seen at one of the depots. She was on her way home from the convent She was still Suite strong, but could not control her mbs, and their involuntary movements in so public a place seemed to annoy her greatly. ’ The American Cyclopedia describes Saint Vitus’ dance, or chorea, as a disorder affecting the nerves of motion, occurring usually in young persons from the age of 10 to 20, and more frequently in females. Its approach is heralded by languor and lassitude, slight dragging of one of the limbs, a furred tongue, general disorder of the stomach and bowels, occasional pain in the occipital portion of the head, frequently a sense of awkwardness, which leads the patient to avoid coming

into the presence of strangers, and sudden muscular contortions, apparently executed involuntarily. Gradually the muscles cease to be under the frill control of the will; the head shakes upon the occurrence of the slightest excitement, and the patient cannot control its motion except by a violent and painful exercise of the volition. If he attempts to carry food or dnnk to the mouth, the hand approaches part of the way and then moves off suddenly in another direction; the hands and feet will net keep still, the face is distorted by the spasmodic action of the muscles, the motions of the body in walking are very uncertain, and one leg and the opposite arm seem paralyzed. The articulation is Impeded and painful, the temper variable and the patient exceedingly sensitive. Occasionally the action is more violent If watched, or noticed, the spasmodic action is invariably aggravated. The most frequent predisposing causes are those changes which take place at the age of puberty. Among the exciting causes are fright irritation of the stomach and bowels, improper diet and disordered menstruation.—Cincinnati Commercial, April 24.

That Boy's Hair.

A Michigan doctor has written a book upon the human hair, in which he presents these views: Hairs do not, as a rule, penetrate the scalp perpend icularly, but at an angle. When the angle of the different hairs are the same, it is possible to give it the easy sweeps and curves which we generally see it take, but if they are by some freak of nature misplaced, we have the rebellious “frizzle-tops” that are not sue ceptible of the influence of the brush and comb. Many a poor mother has half worried her life out trying to train her Johnny’s rebellious locks into better ways, believing it was Johnny’s perverseness of manners that induced such dilapidated looking head-gear, it was really none of Johnny’s fault at all, but simply a freak of nature in misplacing the radiating centers of his “hirsute covering.” Sometimes fowls suffer from a contrarywise placing the feathers—they run the wrong way. The author’s father had a hen whose legfeathers ran up toward the body, those on the neck and body toward the head. This gave her a perpetual “out of-sorts” look, and she could never fly. The erection ot the hair of animals during anger or of human beings in fright is caused by a change in the skin and the angle at which the hair enters the head or body.

The directors of the Wabash railroad company deny that then is any foundation for the rumor that the Great Western road had been leased by the former company. The matter has been informally discussed by the managers of the Wabash, but they have no expectation that it will be effected for the present, at least, and Mr. Joy, who visited Europe to look into this matter, has telegraphed that the lease was impracticable. pyro*.that had strayed and been Qr * lton < of Port Jarvia, proved to be a fluent talker.

The Denver and Rio Grande are putting in a fine iron tram bridge in place of the old pile bridge in South Pueblo. The work will be so managed as not to interfere with the run of any of the trains. Friday, Constable Frazer served a warrant on City Marshal E. H. Watson, of Leadville, for the murder of Thomas Kelly on election night The warrant included the names of Jailor Miller and police officer Walker. The warrant was issued on a complaint drawn by Mr. Quigley, of the firm of Politz & Quigley, on complaint of Mrs. Marion B. Kelly, widow of Tom Kelly. Watson was brought before Judge O’Brien and gave bond of $5,000 for his appearance on Monday afternoon, his securities being George R. Fisher and G.L. Havens. The prominence of the accused man and the singular circumstances surrounding ths killing ot Kelly make the case one of more than ordinary interest, and the result of the trial is anxiously looked for.

High-Heeled Shoes.

A young lady here went one day to an oculist with a trouble with her eyes that threatened frightful results. She was already in a state where reading was out of the question and other entertainment was fast becoming a torment. The oculist looked' at her with his professional wisdom, a iked her various questions, and then suddenly amazed her by asking her to put out her foot. The foot in its kid boot with a wicked little high heel was thrust forth. The doctor eyed it a moment with a stolid face. “Go home," he said, “ and take oft those heels; keep them off tor a month, and then come to me again, and we’ll see how the eyes are!" In a month the eyes were well, and the young lady learned by her experience, and little wise talk how near she had come to having no eyes at all. Itserves to show that there to the possibility that with that instrument of torture constantly at work in the center of the foot, where so many delicate nerves and tendons lie that are so intimately connected with all the other delicate nerves of the body, there must presently come disarrangements and disease that may work fatal mischief with the health.

Style in Petticoats.

Very fanciful petticoats have been brought out for summer wear. These are of light-colored foulards with small dots, and trimmed with lace. One'of them is of pink foulard with red dots. On the lower part is a red foulard plaited flounce, bordered with Valenciennes lace; above this flounce, and partly covering it, is a lambrequin drapery of spotted foulard, also trimmed with lace. Skirts and underskirts are now made so as to form two very narrow points in the back, reaching to the middle of the skirt. The breadth of goods to placed where these points terminate, and either gathered or plaited. By this means all the fullness remains in, the back, and the front and over the hips are perfectly plain. A petticoat for wear under an evening dress may be of Nainsook and Breton lace. The front to cut in points, and the back to made over a piece of stiff muslin, also composed of two points and trimmed with flounces. The skirt to shirred in the back in three places, and in front is a deep flounce trimmed with five rows of Valenciennes lace.—New York Timet.

Stories About Animals.

A Cincicnati mule belonging to the U. 8. mail line company deliberately walked into the river while in harness and held his head under water until he drowned. From a bank in the sand a NcwFoundland dog belonging to a Boston man takes pennies and goes to a baker's daily and buys warm rolls for his breakfast. The neighbors give him pennies, which he hurries in a place scooped out under the stoop. A dog in Haverlll, Maas., met the newsboy every morning at the gate and took his master’s paper. When the subscription was stopped and the boy attempted to pass the house, the dog threw the boy down and seizin g a copy took it into the home. Fourteen catfish were caught by Fred. Walker, of Salt Lake, and he left them in the kitchen apparently dead. Four days afterwards they were as stiff and c)id as icicles. In the middle of the night the family were alarmed by strange noises in the kitchen and the large fish were found flopping around fearfully.

How it Pays to Raise Currants.

Let us look for a moment into the details of growing, say half an acre of currants, ana note what the result is likely to be. A piece of land fitted to produce a good crop of potatoes is in good condition to set to currants. To set them four by five feet will require about 1,200 bushels, and they should cost about $5 per 100, or S6O. Dur. in» the first season potatoes may be planted between the rows and between the bushes, without materially injuring the growth of the bushes or the yield of the potatoes. During the second year, beans may be planted between the rows, which, with what fruit is obtained, should pay the original SOO. And the third year should produce one and a half pounds to the bushel, which at six cents per pound, would amount to SIOB. After the bush had attained its growth, with good culture, a fair average yield would be about three pounds to the bushel, which, at six cents per pound, would amount to $216. The expense for labor and manure annually would not vary materially from that required on half an acre of potatoes after they were planted.

The schooner Amos Falkenberg, of Providence, from Philadelpeia for War ran with coal, struck a rock off Wickiord, R 1., a few days ago, and stmt in twenty feet of water. The captain and crew had to jump overboard, and were rescued by a schooner near at hand. Abraham Coakley and Peter Luthey, who were arrested in Philadelphia last week for connection with the Manhattan bank, robbery, were up in court and remanded to the custody of Inspector Byrnes, of Nev York. They were taken at once to that city. —o ■ i. , ,1 : ■ The eye is an index to the soul.

IMPORTANT AND INTERESTING

llkava been very tick over two years, heart would fiU peace until I had tried Hop Bitters. I have taken two bottles. They have helped ma very much I shall take.twomore; they helped ate, and they used them and are cured, aad feel as thankful as Ido that there to valuable a medicine made. Mjm? JULIA G. CUSHING. Battto Ureak, Mtek, Jan. 81,1880. I have used seven bottles of Hop Bitters, which have cured me of a severe chronic difficulty of the kidneys, and have Lad a pleasant effect on my system. RODNEY PEARSON. Walhend. Kantat, Dee. 8.1879. I write to inform you what great relief I got from taking your Hop Bitters. I was suffering with neuralgia and dyspepsia, and a few bottles have entirely cured me, and I am truly thankful for so good a medicine. Mbs. MATTIE COOPER. Cedar Bayou, Teau, Oct 28,1879. Hop Bitters Co. : I have heretofore been bitterly opposed to any medicine not prescribed by a physician of my choice. My wife, fifty-six years old, had come by degrees to a slow sun-down. Doctors failed to benefit her. I got a bottle of Hop Bitters for her, which soon relieved her in many ways. My kidneys were badly affected, ana I took twenty or thereabouts doses, and found much relief. I sent to Galveston for more, and word came back none in the market, so great to the demand; but I got some elsewhere. It has restored both of us to good health, and we are duly grateful. Yours, J. P. MAGET. Ntoo Bleom/Wd, Jfua, Jan. 3,1880. Hos Bitters Co.: I wish to say to you that I have been suffering for the last five years with a severe itching all over. I have heard of Hop Bitters aad have tried il I have used up four bottles, and it has done me more good than all the doctors and medicines that they could use on or with me. I am old and poor but feel to bless you tor such a relief from your medicine and torments of the doctors. I have had fifteen doctors at*me. One gave me seven ounces of solution of arsenic; another took four quarts of blood from me. All they could tell was that it was skin sickness. Now, after these four bottles of your medicine, my skin is well, clean and smooth as ever. HENRY KNOCHE. Milton JM., Feb. 10,1880. Being induced by a neighbor to try Hop Bitters, I am well pleased with it as a tonic medicine, it having so much improved my feelings, and benefitted my system, which was very much out of tone, causing great feebleness. Mbs. JAMES BETTS. Kalamacoo, Mich., Feb. 2,1880. Hop Bitters Mtg. Co.: I know Hop Bitters will bear recommendation honestly. All who use them confer upon them the highest encomiums, and give them credit for making cures—all the proprietors claim for them. I have kept them since they were first offered to the public. They took high rank from the first, and maintained it, and are more called for than all others combined. Bo long as they keep up their high reputation fer purity and usefulness I shall continue to recommend them—something I have never before done with any other patent medicine. J. J. BABCOCK, Physician and Druggist. Kahoka, Mo., Feb. 9,1880. I purchased five bottles of your Hop Bitters of Bishop & Co., last fall, for my daughter, and am well pleased with the Bitters. They did her more good than all the medicine she has taken for six years. WM. T. McCLURE. The above is from a very reliable farmer, whose daughter was in poor health for seven or eight years, and could obtain no relief until she used Hop Bitters. She to now in as good health as any person in this country. We have large sales, and they are making remarkable cures. W. H. BIBHOP & CO.

“Women Never Think.”

If the crabbed old bachelor who uttered this sentiment could but witness the intense thought, deep study and thorough investigation of women in determining the best medicine* to keep their famiiie* well, and would note their sagacity and wisdom in selecting Hop Bitter* a* the best, and demonstrating it by keeping their families in perpetual health, at a mere nominal expense, he would be forced to acknowledge that such sentiments are baseless and false.—Picayune.
