An exchange says it requires only two or three months to effectually Eliminate from the face of a young l|iide that triumphant look which she bestows upon her female acquaintances just after her marriage. It is only of late years that rheumatism has been treated as a blood disease. But that this is a correct theory is proved by the extraordinary success attending the use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, in this painful and very prevalent malady. It seldom fails of radical cure. The Rochester Sentinel says that Ed Cory, who is wanted in that county for prizefighting, is not in custody. Sheriff King started for Danville to get Cory, who at that time was under arrest, but the officers there failed to hold him longer than twenty-four hours. The prizefighter fled to Michigan and so the sheriff returned home, worn out with the long day and night traveling and lots of money out of pocket. This failure to get his game after he was again so near it, makes tse sheriff more determined than ever td punish all those who had a hand in tr.e battle. r *A young woman, says an exchange, dr guised herself as a man and clerked In a store for a year and then applied ^^ork of the third rank her sex was ‘’■covered. It seems that in the third sank they have an India rubber rat and a celluloid alligator which run by clock work inside and seems very natural indeed. The idea is to let them run at the candidate to see If he will flinch. When the alligator ran at the girl she kept her nerve all right, but when the rat, tried to run up her trouser legs she grabbed imaginary skirts in both hands and jumped into a refrigerator that was standing near (which is needed in the work of the fourth degree) and screamed bloody murder. The girl is a member of the lodge, however, and there is no help for it. This may open the eyes of members of secret societies and cause them to investigate. The Greatest Value.
