Brown's Iron Bttters is one of the very few tonic medicines that are not com posed mostly of alcohol or whiskey, thus becoming a fruitful source of intemper ance by promoting a desire for rum. Brown's Iron Bitters is guaranteed to be a non intoxicating stimulant, and it will, in nearly every case, take the place of all liquor, and at the same time abso lutely kill the desire for whiskey and other intoxi cating beverages. Rev. G. VV. Rice, editor ol the American Christian R& vim; says of Brown's Iroa Bitters: Cin.,0.,Nov. 16, iSSl Genu : The foolish wart fai of viul force in business, p leasure, and vicious indul gence of our people, makes your preparation ti necessity ; and if applied, n il! save hun dreds who resort to salooue Ljt temporary recuperation. Brown's Iron Bitters has been thoroughly tested for dyspepsia, indigestion, biliousness, weakness, debil ity, overwork, rheumatism, neuralgia, consumption, liver complaints, kidney troubles, &c, and it never fails to render speedy and permanent relict mil of AFfllCATSS fc; ll'Uim OF THE LIMITS OF THK BOROUGH OF GALLTZIN.

Levi Wilson lives In Uxbridge, a small town In Worcester county, Mass. lie is 29 years old. When 19 he was poor. lie went away and returned a rich man, and for seven years he has been known as the Uxbridge conundrum. He spends money like a prince. Tie lives In lavish style. Ho has built a few houses, hut the rents from them would not amount to a hundredth part of his Income. ITe has r.o business that any one knows of. Where he pets his money no one knows. IIo has been followed by detectives, but all to no purpose. Teople have whispered among themselves that he has broken hanks, coun terfeited coin, and done all sorts of things, but Wilson still pursues Ms way, seems to enjoy the mystery which he keeps about him and no one ean prove that he is anything hut honest. When young be worked in stables and In a mill in North Uxbridge. ITe was too poor to go to school, and had few oppor tunities to acquire an education. In ls?3 he) disappeared, leaving behind unpaid bills to D. B. Engley, with whom he boarded, and with whoe daughter he subsequently lived as his wife. Now he claims that she was not his wife, and Engley has brought suit claim ing ?r0,noo damages for the seduction of his daughter. coMrsri back rucH. Within two 3-ears from his disappearance Wilson returned. Tie said he had been West TTis pockets were full of money. TTe told one man he made it speculating. He told another that a hermit, dying in a wilderness, had given him a patent, for a barbed wire fence and that the royalty was something Immense. Nobody believed these stories and then inquisitive neighbors began circulating rumors until they had charged Wilson with almost every crime, including gambling and blackmail. They could not discover where he had been. All that they ascertained was that after leaving North Uxbridge Wilson went to Worcester, entered the employment of F. E. Knowles, a wealthy loom manufac turer, as stable boy, and after a year's ser vice went elsewhere. Wilson has since told his old employer that he went to California. More than that nobody know? about the mys terious wanderings which took him from Worcester a poor boy and returned him roll- 1 Ing in riches. After a while the people of j Uxbridge township tired of asking him where j he got his money and he told them no more frnnv stories. To-dav he Is an accented rn. nundrum, a riddle too curious for any of J them to comprehend, a sphinx on the only j earthly subject that the townspeople care a j fig to hear him talk about. Soon after his j return from his mysterious trip Wilson, who j had now barely attained his majority, bought ! some vacant lots in North Ux!ridgo, not far ! from the mill where he had tended a cotton i loom, and built him a house. Here he lived as the husband of Hattie Englev. who now sues him for ?."0,ooo damages for breach of promise of marriage. At that time every body in their vicinity believed the couple to be man and wife. THE F.VER RF.ri.ENISHKD PURSE. The story of Wilson's operations, particu larly during the past four years would fill a volume. He seemed to possess the wonder ful touch-stone which turned matter into money whenever lie needed it. The practi cal way of expressing it In Uxbridge was ; "lie put for Worcester whenever he was j hard up for money, and ho always came home with heaps of it." Reputable gentle men say they have seen him show his bank , book when on the train from Worcester to j Uxbridge, and that it contained credit for deposits of such sums ae 40,000, TiO.oOO, and even as high as ?r,o,noo. For a country gen tleman to be possessed of such a bank ac count is an exceedingly rare thing. For a man none of whose known investments are bringing him in a penny of income the pos session of such wealth is regarded as extra ordinary Until six months ago he kept large bank balances in the Blackstone National Bank in Uxbridge. lie had some quarrel with its officers, and withdrawing his money he placed it on deposit in Providence and in the Whitinsville Bank, about three miles from his Uxbridge residence. Two years ago he presented to the Blackstone Bank a check for $0,000, drawn by Mr. Philip D. Moen, of the great wire rolling mill of Wash burn fc Moen, of Worcester. The officers wer in some doubt about cashing a paper for such a large sum and telegraphed "Mr. Moen to know if it was all right. The an swer came back : "Cash any checks in my name presented by Levi Wilson." This sat isfied the officers, and after that there was no hesitation in advancing funds on Mr. Moen's paper to any amount, it bas been calculated by liis townsmen that for the last three years he has spent at least ? 100,000 an nually, lie is said to have been in receit of a monthly iecome for the last year of 10, 000, the source of which, however, has never yet l en made known. Up to within a short time ago Wilson owned in Uxbridge real es tate valued at ?100,ooo at the lowest figure. F.ight cottages, -with their land, and two va cant lots on the east side of the river were valued at $28,000. A new hotel, its furni ture, outbuildings, etc., and four tenement houses on the west side of the river, In the heart of Uxbridge village are estimated at about ?"2,000. LIVING IN SI-LENDOR. Nobody can understand why Wilson should have erected a hotel iu a little country vil lage like Uxbridge. But It was one of his many wb'.ms, and he built it In splendid style. Before putting up the hotel he lived in a cottage fitted up like a palace. ITe had electric bells and finest stables in the State. But the hotel Idea struck him and up It went. The carpets are all Brussels and the furni ture black walnut On the second floor Wilson reserved a suite of four rooms for hi.s own private use. He himself has boast ed that it cost $10,000 to finish and furnish them. One is finished In pine, another in black walnut, a third In ash and a fourth in mahogany. The gilding on them alone cost f 200 and the frescoing f 300 more. A private cellar is stocked with the choicest wines and liquors. Here at the hotel Wil" son lend a life of luxurious ease, spending money lavishly, telling stories of his expen ses that his neighbors have come to regard as tremendous, and seemingly enjoying the atmosphere of mystery in which he dwells, nis caprices have cost him many thousands of dollars annually, but his well-spTlng Is apparently Inexhaustible, ne has another 6table at the hotel filled with horses. In one part of this stable, whose appointments are not excelled in trip 6tables of even Bonner and Vanderhilt, Wilson has an office, where he attends to his real estate matters, his rents and some other details, all of which are embodied under the very comprehensive term of "business." Its furniture Is In keopirg -with all of Wilson's magnificent surroundings. As If t'o mjstify still further hi? neighbors, If such a thing were possible, Wilson, five vears ago, went to London and was gone several months. He took with hivn the woman who bas all along been re garded aa his wife, and her sister, some years her Junior. Money has since then rolled in upon him apparent'y more rapidly than ever. He has recently invested 510,000 in the Fish ervi'le cotton mill, an enterprise which Is hardly yet In operation and yields no income whatever. wit.son's escapades. Wilson's escapades have been the town talk for years. Many influential church members feel as If the community had been scandnlizea by his conduct. When a pious dominie heard of his arrest on the two charges preferred by the Engleys, father and daughter, he lifted up his hands and said, with satisfaction : "At last it seems as if the immoral man is about to get his jii"t de serts." This phase of Wilson's character Is really the only one that can be criticised with any degree of Jnstice. Two young women of the place, In addition to the Eng ley girl, haye brought snit for breach of promise to marry, ea"h for ? "0,000, so It would appear as if the young man was get ting into hot water. A rew weeks ago Wil son drove through the streets of Uxbridge with a lady whom he Intended to marry, so he told a reputable resident. A few days afterward , meeting this gentleman, Wilson remarked in his abrupt way ; " I'm not go ing to marry that girl after all. She has too many poor relatives, and I've got enough of them myself." In the matter of poor relatives the man spoke truthfully enough, ne has, however, treated them handsomely, purchasing them houses, and even a farm In one instance. There can no longer be any doubt that Wilson's money comes direct from Philip L. Moen, of Worcester. All the deposits made by him in the Blackstone National Bank were of checks drawn by cashiers of Wor cester banks, indorsed by Thilip L. Moen and made transferrable to Wilson. On such checks the deposits in this bank alone have amounted to upwards of $200,000. All told, it is estimated that Wilson must have re ceived from this source in the last three years ?:!00,000. Nobody but himself and Mr. Moen know the exact amount. Mr. Moen's inti mate friends have wondered at the connec tion existing between him and Wilson. Mr. Moen owns a third interest in the two great wire mills controllrd by the Washburn & Moen Company. Mr. Wa.-hburn declares that he knows nothing of the relations existing between his partner and Wilson. The mystery with the Worcester county people now is not whore Wilson's money comes from, but why does It come from where it does? The First Paoe of an Almanac. Very few people know the signification of the va rious signs peculiar to the almanac, and some of thom are not exactly clear to us. In the first instance the man who stands in the centre with his vest unbuttoned iu such a manner as to expose his alimentary canal, j has always been a mystery to us. Why In every almanac for the past century this man, with all his works exposed to the cold night air, should be given the most prominent place in a literary work like the almanac, we are unable to clearly understand. He cer tainly can claim no great dsgree of consider ation for this act. It does not entitle him to any amount of prominence, for the public do not thirst for a view of a man who has made an autopsy of himself and is apparently proud of it. What the planets have to do with cardiac orifice, we do not at this mo ment know positively, or why astronomy and the gastric juices should have anything in common. Again we must come out and confess our ignorance as to the bearing that the ram, or the tarantula, or the twins, or the crab, or other astronomical delirium tremens may have upon the weather. Of course it is stu pidity, and we ought to he ashamed of it, but we are in that fix and we cannot help it. When our son gets old enough to look into these things, we will see that he isn't left to grope along through life and make a moral show of himself as his father has. Boome rang. Hotv Thhy Parted. A new song Is en titled : "How They Tarted." We have not read it, but no doubt they parted in the us ual way, about 2 a. m., after kissing each other'good-night" at least thirty-seven times. "Well, I guess I must go," he says with a sigh about two hours before he does go. Then after another half-hour's conversation about one thing and another, lie presses her hand with much pressiveness, says he really must go, and lovingly lingers another half hour. Then be says he didn't know it was so late, picks up his hat and moves toward the door, where he puts his arm around her to prevent her falling in a swoon, and kisses her five minutes in one inning and still lin gers. Then he Rives her one more kiss, just for luck, and reluctantly steps down and out into the black, lonesome night, and calls around the next night. That is how they parted years ago if we have not been misin formed. "Are there any fools in this town ?" asked a stranger of a newsboy yesterday. "I don't know," replied the boy; "are you lonesome?" A WATCH W0KX BY JESSE.JAMLS. HOW IT WAS TAKEN FROM ITS OTOEH-ITS T.ESTORAL. There was recently on exhibition In St. Louis the watch worn by the lato Jesse James for nearly eight years and taken from its former owner, Hon. John A. Burbank, of Richmond, Ind., at Malvern Junction, Ark. After the notorious robber's death the watch was found among his effects and returned to its owner. The story of the robbery as told by Governor Burbank Is as follows : "In the spring of 1 was going to Hot Sprincs, Ark. At that time persons going to the Springs left the railroad at Malvern Junc tion and traveled across the country by stage. We reached Malvern in the morning and left there early In the forenoon. There were fif teen or sixteen persons going over, one lady and the rest gentlemen. Most of the passen gers, some ten or twelve, were placed In a six-horse statue coach. I and a pentieman named Taylor, from Connecticut, and a sick man whose name I do not kr.ow, were in a hack together, while the lady occupied a third hack by herself. The distance to" Hot Springs was about twenty miles. The stage coach led the way, our hack followed and tho lady came last. The road was rough and we made rather slow progress, the vehi cles being several hundred yards apart. Be tween 3 and 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when we were within about five miles of not Springs, and just after crossing alittle stream where the horses were watered, five men on horseback rode up from the front and passed us to tho rear: They were all well mounted, two or three had on long overcoats and per haps one or two had shotguns, bntthere was nothing suspicious or remarkable in thier ap pearance. I thought there might be a shoot ing of that kind in the neighborhood. "In a very short time the same men rode back again past our hack to the front. We 1 paid no attention to this. In a few minutes j we heard great shouting, cursing, etc., and ' looking out 6aw that the coach had beeu j stopped a short distance ahead of us. We j drove up as fast as we could supposing that I ttmt a4tbo v,ar when ,le ,hil!1 attajn his n,a; a Sheriff s posse had stopped the coach to ; Jority. Hig very best years are t twenty make an arrest or something of that sort - i three am, tweilty.five R3 a KirIs aro at Iline. The coach was stopped while ascendinff a j teen and twenty-two. From twenty-one there unit: niii, mm wiii-ic iner nmu was quite nar row. When we got there we found the coach surrounded by five men on horseback, the same who had passed us, all heavily arm ed with revolvers leveled at the coach. One had a Winchester rifle and the other four each had a seven-shooter in his hand and two in his belt, making twenty-one shots in sight to each man. When we got up they ordered us all to get out and form in line. I was at the head of the line. As it turned out, there was but one weapon in our party, and this a small pocket pistol. Another was in a hand bag, but was unavailable. When we were in line Jesso James, the captain of the gang, said 'hands up. We put our hands up. i Then one of the men dismounted, and while i the other four kept us covered with their re volvers be went, thronah us foTnino- tn me c.,i i,c.:iiT.iii , i . , first he said I II take what you ve got. Ob- serving my diamond pin, he went for it with out any ceremony. While doing that he dis covered my watch chain, a very heavy one, which I wore under my vest, and jerking it out threw it out over my head and then pull ed out the watch. He then went in my pan taloons pocket and got my pocketbook, con taining about ?'"0. The diamond pin was worth from ?2.")0 to ?.si0, and the watch and chain f'00. All this time we were covered by the revolvers, and being unarmed had no choice but to submit. Our hands were still up. I had on a heavy seal ring, and the lei low said : 'You'd better put your gloves on or I'll take that ring. I put my hands down long enough to put mv gioves on. and he i n ,,!. i i. . vt-v, v. . kiniilv overlooked the n:nr. hen n ot. - ' through with me he took the next in order, and so on through the line. From my Con necticut friend he got an old-fashioned watch, which was an heirloom in the family, and 5"00 in money. He offered a big ransom for the watch, but they refused to negotiate. From the rest they only got small amounts. When they got through with us Jesse James called out to the driver : "Throw down that mail bag.' The driver made no motion at first, and James leveled his pistol at him and said again : 'Throw down that mail bag.' The driver obeyed. The poach was cut open, the contents poured ont on the ground, and the man who was on foot began to fum ble ovtr the mail. He first tore open a larga official envelope, which had nothing but offi- rial papers in it. Seeing there was no money, Jesse Jamef called from his horse, 'Put that letter back,' and the man obeyed without a word. They found no money In the mail and soon stopped opening the letters. They then broke open the express trunk and found two packages of greenbacks, amount ing to about $500. All the time the sick man and the lady remained in their seats. When the man who went through us looked inside the hack and reported a sick man, James called out, 'We don't disturb sick men V and when they came to the lady he said, 'We don't disturb ladies-sit still, madame.' While this was going on one of the mounted men rode round the coach once or twice and ; examined one of the wheel-horses very close- j ly. It was a fine sorrel horse. After eyeing j the horse very closely all over, he called out j to the driver, who was still holding the lines, j 'Get down and unharness that off horse.' j The driver was slow about moving, anil the fellow leveled his pistol at him and said : 'I say, get down anil unharness that o!T horse.' The driver did as he was ordered. When the horse was unharnessed the robber dismount ed and, placing his own saddle and bridle on the stage-horse, rode him up the road a few hundred yards and back at a rapid gait. Coming back to the coach he said : 'You can hitch up tliAt other horse, and the driver proceeded to do so. That was an Arkansas horse trade. I forgot to say that the man who went through us took a fancy to my fur overcoat, and told me to haul it off, but Jesse James heard him and said : 'No you don't,that would lead to our detection sure.' All this occupied about hal f an hour. When the robbers got through they told us we could go, and they rode off together. We afterwards heard of them in the direction of Texas. They looked like sturdy young far mers and were not masked besides wearing slouched hats well pulled down, and Jesse James had a woolen comforter around his face. During the entire performance they affected a kind of politeness with all their roughness, and tried to create the impression that they were gentlemanly highwaymen. After they left we gathered up the mail and scattered baggage and continued on to Hot Springs. The news of the robbery created Intense excitement there and tne whole pop ulation turned out to pursue the robbers.but nothing ever came of it." Governor Burbank has placed tho watch with tho Eugene J-.iccard Jewelry co inpany for exhibition, and it will doubtless be in spected by hundieds of curious otvs. A re plevin bond had t ) bo given" the. offleeri at St. Joseph's, as Mrs. Jatnes threatoti'td to sue for its recovery. It is not likely that she will, though. The watch Is in perfect run niogoiibT and shows good trva'.hK'lit from it quoiKlam possessor. M.VTKiaO.M VL ( M AM I S. A table of mairiage jTobrtbii';:!-. t'ves some interesting facts and dediu tiio.s : In a thousand cast s no one Is tnairicj la fore the age of fifteen. The marriage of wotnen at that ae is not unknown, but it is rare. Men do not begin to many, as a rule, until they are eighteen years old. At tho age of 1 ine teen, when young men are just beginiiing to think seriou-ly of the subject, youtig women are at their most favorable time, mote of them marrying at that ago than at any other. The years of greatest probability with wo men are from eighteen to twenty-five, cul minating at twenty-two. At twenty and twenty-one the chances are even, being l"t terat nineteen and twenty two than at either of the intervening years. At twenty-three begins a steady decline, but rot until the age of thirty-two do the chances fail below one in a hundred ; after that age they do, and In the ret of her life 'he chancee are but seventy-six in a thousand. At the age of fifty three the vanishing point appear in sitrlit, no marriage occurring at that age, and at the ageof fifty-four. At fifty-five ami fifty six occurs one rr.aniage each, at fifty-seven none, at fifty-eight one, and after that a wo man has literally not "one chance in a thou sand of wedding. 1 ler best years are four In number, being f:tn niio focn to twenty two inclusive. With a tuan it Is dilT. ro:.t : j his chances for marriage aro tolerably goi.l to the last. His best vears are ten in num ber, from twenty-one to thirty i:iclu-ive.

It I is worthy of note that the sudden drop in the ; chances of both men and women occurs the ; year after they become "old bnohrlors" or j "old maids." Men do not bein to marry ' till about three years later than women, but j they keep It up more or less steadily five i years later. With men the changes do not : fall below one in a hundred until t'-e ag-' of ' forty is re itched. Then it Is one in fifty, and after tlir.t but one in two huhdred. .f ar ris ges occur, however, every year until f: ' ! six is reached, then on a'.t'-nia'.e years to six j ty-lwo, and after that comes but one, which is at the age of severity.
