WANTED HOUNDING.

An Enterprising ’Frisco Han’s Scheme to Ifcep up His Credit. He was a gentlemanly and affable looking man who walked into the managing editor’s room of the San Francisco Post and quietly took a chair until that accomplished journalist had finished an editorial with tha scissors. ■ 'jWfiat can we do for you?” asked the editor, finally, replacing the paste brush behind his ear. - “Haven’t brought in a poem on autumn?” he continued, frowning suspiciously. “Not at all. my dear sir.” replied the stranger, with a smile. “I trust I don’t look like a poet. I have dropped in to consult you on a practical business proposition.” Ah! an advertisement!” said the journalist, benignautly. “Something in the‘star ad’line, I suppose?” “In a certain sense, yes,” replied the business man. “I want to know your best inside rates for hounding.” “For what?” asked the writer. “Why, for hounding. I should like to be thoroughly well-hounded in your paper for the next—say three months, if it didn’t come too high.” “Whatthe dev—” “Permit me too explain,” interrupted the matter-of-fact customer“l am an attentive reader of the locapapers, and I notice that whenever a man, a corporation, or a monopnly has a streak of luck, or gets to making money rapidly, the said papers immediately “jump on his neck,” as the saying is, and hound the successful person or persons as though he or they were escaped convicts, or something like that.” “You mean our blackmail contemporaries?” said the editor, vindictivedon’t think they blackmail anybody in particular,” said the stranger, thoughtfully; “that is, not nowadays. The people seem to have ‘dropped to to it,’as the hoodums say; butthat isn’t the point that affects me. The point is, that of course these papers never hound anybody who hasn’t got dead loads of coin. Everybody recognized that fact, and the result is that the minute they start in against a man his credit goes right up.” “I begin to drop,” said the moulder of public opinion scratching his head- ‘ Why, of course. It’s a dead sure proposition; so it occurred to me, as my business has been dreadfully bad this year, that I’d either have to brace up my credit or go under. I’ve got to do it or bust. Now if I can arrange for your paper to come out to-morrow afternoon with a slashing article accusing me of being a grasping monopolist or a bloated corruptionist, or some thing else rich and comfortable, it would aDout fix me up.” “It’s a big idea,” said the editor, calmly; “and you’d better go down and see the business manager at once. I’ll write an editorial myself calling attention to you as a bigamist and a swindler of orphans and widows.”

“Do, so” exclaimed the far-seeing man, as he rose to go. “Whatever you do, don’t spare me, gentlemen. Give it to me strong. I’ve got a $12,000 note to meet on the 17th. so you must get your work in at once.” “I’ll attend to it,” said the editor, earnestly. “I’ll work over your early career myself, and have three- or four affidavits accusingyou of bribery and brutality ready for next Saturday’s double sheet. I’ll send our most sarcas tic reporter round to interviewyou, bright and early Monday morning.” “Thanks! thanks!” said the customer, fervently. “I begin to see my way clear already. God bless you!” and he tripped down stairs with a heart full of hope and encouragement, while the editor at once set to work on a leader entitled, “A fiend in Human Shape.”—[Derrick Dodd.

Take the most recent fashion of shoes. The heel of the human being projects outward, or rather backward and gives steadiness to “the sure and certain step of man.” But fashion has decided that the heel of the boot or shoe shall get as near the centre of the instep as possible. Instead of the weight of the body resting upon an arch, in the modern fine lady it rests upon pegs with the toes in front, which have to prevent the body from topping forward. Then the heel is so high that the foot rests upon the peg and the toes; the gait is about as graceful as if the lady were practicing walking upon stilts. In order to poise the body on these two points a bend forward is necessitated, which is regarded as the correct as the correcs attitude of the “form divine.” It is needless to say that there are few ankles which can stand this strain without yielding; and it is quite common to see young ladies walking along with their ankles twisting all ways, or perhaps with the sole of the shoe or foot escaping from under the foot and the side of the i eel in contact with the ground. With such modern improvements on sandals (which allow the feet perfect freedom and play) the present Mademoiselle, when she attempts to run, is a spectacle at which the gods—well, not quite that, but at which her mother might well weep.

It is said that the first requisite for an able-bodied aesthete is intense laziness. Wagner has twenty-three dressing gowns which he is very proud of displaying. A Maine man took three hundred bottles of patent medicine to purify his blood. \ y Friends of the late GbvernorWiftz, of Louisiana, have raised »for his family. The United States has seventy three papers devoted to science and mechanics.

The Kindness of Nature.

Nature intended that the art of healing, the sustaining of animal life the enjoyment of perfect h-aith, and the road to longevity should be searched for principally among Ithe herbs and vegetables of earth, and npt one in a thousand who seeks to be relieved by the use of mineral poisons will find the panacea hoped for. Then away with mercural medicines! Let Nature be as dated by nature! Invigorate the system and improve the animal economy of nutrition and assimilation, by using such well known and tried harmless yet effective vegetable tonics as Yellow Dock. Sarsaparilla, Juniper,Celery,Calisaya Bark, etc, all of which enter into the composition of Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla. If you are w r eak, nervous, and debiliated, or suffer from dyspepsia, weak kidneys, impure blood, etc., it will do you more permanent good than any other remedy known.

General Debility and Liver Complaint. R. V. Pierce, M. D., Buffalo. N. Y.: My wife has been taking your “Golden Medical Discovery” and “pellets” for her livers and general debility, and has found them to be good medicines, and would reccommend them to all sufferers from Liver Complaint, Sour Stomach, and General Delility. Yours fraternally, N. E. Harmon, Pastor M. E. Church, Elsah, 111. Young, middle-aged, or old men, suffering from nervous debility or kindred affections, should address, with two stamps, for large treatise, World’s Dispensary Medical Association, Buffalo, N, Y. “All through advertising,” remarked ex-Maybr Gregory, to us as he went homeward with a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil, “that I bought, this. Your paper contains so many wonderful cures—of course they are facts—and so I thought I’d try a bottle for the rheumatism.”—[Madisou(Wis.) Daily Democrat.

The Evils of Parental Interference.

Then there is the evil custom of enforced marriage; sons induced against their inclination to marry to suit the choice of their parents instead of their own, and daughters compelled to marry men they loathe, or perhaps only men distasteful to them, because of family convenience or necessity. Allied to this evil is another, the voluntary selection of life partners for any other reason than love and mutual attraction. With our existing imperfect knowledge of the factors which enter into a perfect and true marriage, it would seem better to trust to the instincts of nature, if they can be entirely at liberty and untrammelled, than to tho decision of any legal tribunal as to who may and who may not wed. The wise-acres should not be ignored, and in these matters would not be; but their advice should be asked, not enforced.—Dr. Foote’s Health Monthly.

Dr. Green’s Oxygenated Bitters

is the oldest and best remedy for Dyspepsia, Billiousness, Malaria, Indigestion, all disorders of the stomach, and all dseases indicating an impure condition of the blood, kidneys, Skin, etc. '

Laying the Groudwerk of Health.

Without vigor there can be no healthful regularity in the performance of the bodily functions. It is to its invigorating influence, that Stomach Bitters owes a arge proportion of its popularity. The people of America find in it the virtues of a commanding tonic, and have learned by experience that it is an efficient antidote'to the poison of Malaria, whether in air or water. Also that it conquers biliousness and constipation, and remedies nervous debility. Few family remedies have a more comprehensive scope, and assuredly there is none the merits of which have been more widely recognized by the press, the public and the medical profession. Travelers and emigrants use it with advantage against the vicissitudes of climate, and influences of an unhealthfu) nature existing in water or food, and mariners, miners and others to counteract the effects of exposure and hardship.

Rheumatism. There has been no medicine for Rheumatism ever introduced that equals Durang’s Rheumatic Remedy. It »s as sure to cure as ihe seasons are to follow each other. Many of our prominent men here in public life have used it with great success. We unhesitatingly recommend it.—[Washington City Republican. * Sold at all drug stores. Price, one dollar. Six bottles, five dollars. Write for free circular to the proprietor, R. K. Helpenstine, -druggist, Washington, D. C. Ten thousand letters have been received bv the proprietors of the White Wine or Tar Syrup, from parties claiming to have been cured of consumption, by its use. Prioe 26 cents. Sold by all druggists. If you are troubled with Biliousness of Constipation, use Dr. Whites Dandelion. It is the best Llvei Investigator in use. Pint bottles only one dollar. Osmun's Prepared Cod Liver Oil and Lime, the best medicine for ths lnngs Sold by all druggists. A splendid breakfast on the table surrounded by a family of coughs. They used Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup and that family now keeps it always on hand and recommends it. Price only 26 cents a bottle.
