BILIOUSNESS,
Bilious symptoms invariably
,i arise from indigestion, such as
furred tongue, vcmiting-of bile,
giddiness, sick headache, ir
regular bowel3. The liver se
cretes the bile and acts like a
filter or siave, to clep.nse impu
rities of the blood. By irregu
larity in its action cr suspen
sions of its functions, the bile
is liabie to overflew into the
blood, causing jaundice, sallow
complexion, yoilov eyes, bil
ious tliarrhioa, a languid,
weary feeling and many other
distressing syrnptoir;:. Bilious
ness may bo properly termed
an affection of thy liver, and
can be thoroughly cured by the
grand regulator of the liver
and biliary organs, BURDOCK
BL000 BITfERS. Act upon the
stomach, bowels and liver,
making healthy bile and pure
blood, and opens the culverts
and sluiceways for the outlet
of disease. Sold everywhere
and guaranteed to cure.

A lit A f i l-Ii Y OF THE (ilLCH.
It was tine of Colorado's marvelous June
diiys. The golden god of day sailed on in
l.'s turquoise sea with not a single cloud to
shndow his brilliancy. Nature, in all her j
gorgeous livery of green, was in one of her i

of the lark, whose glad notes as she twitter-

monotony if the grasshopjier's chirp, and
the endless 'peek" of the myriads of prairie j
cfogs, whose little brown heads and cunning ,
features peeped from the numerous mounds i
or tlieir villege. These were the only signs ;
ami sotrijs of life on Badger Gulch, yet'
evidences of civilization were not wanting. I
Sluices and Humes, shovels, jiicks and a di--m.iritli-ii
rocker, were to be seen on the
edge of the bank in the bed of the gulch,
whi'e some hundred yards distant on the
e-lje of a cotton wood grove stood, bathed
in the heavenly sunshine, a log cabin, rough
in its construction, but picturesque in its
surtoundings.
Outside on a bench were utensils for cook- ,
ing rude, but fitted for the rough hands of
men and the simple wants of miners. j
These were the only evidences ot the re- :
cent presence ot humanity visible outside :
the cabin nothing t5 indicate the horrible!
presence within, wiiere, lying on the floor of '
one room that bad answered all the pur-
poses of the simple house keeping, was the
hody of a mail whose white face gleamed
with an unearthly pallor in the dim ni ,
from the small window, rrom the pool of
Mood surrounding the head and its mass of .
gold?n hair. The fixed, horrible stare of the i
blue eye, the uglv, gaping wound in ie I
forehead from which the life had for some
time ceased to ebb, all told the fearful story
of murder, whose motive was only too j
plainly visible in the inverted and empty i
pockets and the absence of everything val- !
uable on the hotly, save one article, a email
medallion, which had been apparently jerk
ed partially from the neck of the wearer
and then for some unknown reason left. In j
the violence with which it had probably been
snatched the spring nad been pressed, dis
closing the face of a beautiful, loving wo
man, with the same blue eyes and fair hair
of its wearer, whose clotted blood on the
glass almost obliterated the features of the
portrait. Yet this man, whose beardless
fac? and smooth features indicated that his
boyhood's years were scarcely passed, had
been handsome. Nothing inside or outside 1
the cabin gave any indication of the perpe
trator of the foul crime.
The mountain cry of the curlew came
floating1 down the gulch on the gentle breeze
which was now rising;. Occasionally a
frightened cottontail skurried to his warren 1
in 'heseruboak thicket, and the never-ceas
ing whirr of the gr?shopiers were the only
signs and sounds of life. Presently two
horsemen came galloping over the trail,
crossed the gulch, and proceeded to the cab
in, seeking for refreshments. Knocking at
the door an I receiving no answer, they lift
ed the latch and pushed back the obstruc
tion, which they found, to their horror, to
be the corpse of the murderea man, dead,
apparently, for some hours. After search
ing, but in vain, for some evidence of his
identity, they went outside and saw the
prints of horses' feet, evidently recently
made and showing that their course headed
up the gulch. Examining their guns and
ammunition, the ptrangers, who were in
search of s'ray cattle, started on a full gal
lop up the gulch and oyer the divide theli
experienced eyes readiiy marking the track
of the fugitive, until reaching the main
road to Denver, which was on the top of the
ridue, where it was lost in the numerous
others which had traveled over it that day.
Reluctantly - they gave up the chase and
turned their horses toward Franktown,
where they gave the alarm. The murderer,
however, was never caught, notwithstand
ing the hue and ciy that was raised,
Jutet one year later some travellers stop
ped at the deserted and now supposed to be
haunted cabin. In fact, for several succeed j
ing nights a light hud shone through the one J
window far out into the night, and belated i
travellers had seen shadows flitting in the !
interior, yet no one had the har Jiliood to en i
ter those teirihle precincts after nightfall.
Ou this June day, however, everything was
the same as that day ne year ago. The j
Jam wai 6iginc his bright song, the curlew
tullini? its tell-like mournful totie, the crass
liiijipersHr.il pra'tie i('C- were keeping up
tin ir ir cessaiit sounds, but all e'.su was still.
Dsmoutitintr, the e'der horseman said:
"Bid, I wonder if we will have the same
luck we hud when stepping hpre one year
ago?" His companion answered . "I don't
know ; they told me at the camp below the
rahin wss haunted : that lights and strange
pounds are seen find heard in the cabin after
ii'ah' fail, one linn STyin? that some evening
since, having to pas here, be heard voices
and the sound of some one imploring for his
life and then followed blows and groans,
after which all wa dark, so we must expect
to see something. Let's open the door any
way." Tho door crepked on i s binges and. look
ing into the sbndowv room from the bright
gnrlUdit. nothing at first was seen. Then,
I simultaneous from hotb, a crv of horror.
There, hanging to one of the rafters, was
the form of a man, whose protruding torgne
and eyes and hlackpnert faes pave ghastly
evidence of dpath by sti angulation. An
overturned stove showed that the crime was
self committed and, looking around, they
saw a folded paper on the one table in the
room, which in the strange story therein
told made the manner of death and its mo
tive perfectly clear. On a number of close
ly written pages directed "To whoever finds
this," was a remarkable narrative as fol
loyws :
"Oh, the horrible remorse of the murder
er, of the man who. in defiance of all the
laws of God and man takes the life of his
fellow being ! Sleeping or waking, alone or
among mm. the terrible vision of his crime
haunts him ever; but for the fratricide, I ,or!U'n'J nouses tne t-n-cent ann intern
dinned for here and for eternity, there is I CPnt 'iety-is I "nlr! "V. at least
no rest, no hope. I was the son of a Pres-
byterian minister in an Eastern town. Al
i though I had received a good education, I
j was always of a wavward and restless dis-
position, and at the age of 28, In spite of the
I tears andprayers of a loving mother and the
j express commands of ny father, I left my
j p'easant home and came out. West, excited
I by the numerous stories of danger and ad
venture among the Indians. Hes'des my
; parents 1 had a sister several vears younger
i and a baby brother scarcely five years old.
j After a terrible, rough experience as team
j sterand miner, I managed in the latter pnr

Friends. People who have warm friends
are healthier and happier than those who
have none. A single real friend is a treasure
worth more than gold or precious stone.
Money can buy many things good and evil.
All the wealth in the world could not buy a
friend or pay you for the loss of one. I
have wanted only one thing; to make me
happy,' Haslitt writes, 'but wanting that,
have wanted everything, and again, my
heart, shut up in prison of rude clay, has
never found, nor will it find, a heart to speak
to.' We are the weakest of snendthrifts if
i we let one friend drop off through inatten
tion, or let one push away another ; or if we
hold aloof from ons for petty jealousy or
heedless slight or roughness. Would you
throw away a diamond because it provoked
you? One good friend is not to be weighed
against lhe jewels of the earth.

further north. The country was fu'.l of 1 1,-
dians, on the war path, but we didn't mind ;
i them so much as the weather, which was
' simply fearful. Snow breast high, and a :
steady norther blowing that would cut the!
, eyes out of you. We struggled aloi g some
' bow for a couple of days, but finally the
! snow began to fail again and we lost the
trail. The whole party was jusi on the
point of giving up for good, when one of the ;
scouts came in to report that be hart found, a i

; we soon reached the bouse and started up h
I roaring fire, you may suppose. As the men :
i were bringing in their last artnfuls of wood,
i they heard a faint call for help on the wind.
A forlorn hope volunteered to go out and
see what was the matter, and pretty soon
they brought in an emigrant family whose
teams had got snawed in, and who had jut
about lain down to die some half mile from
the house. There was the father, three
boys, a little girl carrying a kitten, and the
mother with a small baby wrapped in a doz
en shawls."
"Deal, dear me,
' exclaimed the lady pas-
sengers In chorus.
"The log house had a small room in one
corner and we gave that to the poor family
and made them comfortable. That night it
blew a gale, and the wind swept the trail so
clear that the emigrants decided to push ou
south. Our party concluded to wait another
day for the weather to settle, and well
enough it was, as the snow began again.
Some time during the next evening, one of
the officers happened to go into the room
that had been occupied by the emigrant
family, w hen he heard a sort of low cry, aod
going towards a bunk, something move In
side a bundle lying there wrapped up in an
old red shawl
"A blue shawl, Major." interrupted the
young lady, merrily.
"So it was." said the old officer, glancing
fondly at bis companion, "ne was a brave

"You don't seem to grapple with the pro
position, ma'am," explained the major. "On
canvassing the matter, we discovered that
there wasn't but one married man In the
whole command, and he, as luck would have
it. had never been blessed with a baby. We
didn't have any more idea how to take care
of a baby than the man in the moon. Ob I
it was dreadful !" and the major wiped the
perspiration from his face at the mere recol
lection. "Had the poor dar'.ing been all that day
without anything to eat ?" indignantly In
quired a young bride who sat up with the
driver.
"To drink, you mean," said the major.
"That was just it. There wasn't even a can
of condensed milk in the outfit, so we went
into a council of wai as to the proper thing
to give it to eat. One officer said flour and
water was the correct thiLg. Capt. Brown
insisted on milk. Boggs thought that meat
chopped up fine would answer. Somebody
else argued that the proper ration for a baby
was sugar tied up in a rag somehow. A
young ensign believed they sucked thu juice

Whipple stuck it out that babies were fed

SAD MEETtSO BETWEEN FATHER AND
DAlTeHTEK IN A TOLICE STATION.
There was a starving look on the eoun- '
tenance ot a young woman who entered the ,
Tombs, New York. Sunday morning. Her :
dress was torn, shabby, and covered with
mud, as if she had traveled a longdistance. j
At her side was a little girl four years of age,
whoe fce had the pinched looks of a
corpse. There was a hard ciustof bread in
the child's hand, which she was endeavoring
to break in two.
"Oh, mamma." she cried, "it's so hard that :
I can't eat. or break it, and I am so hungry."
"Hand it to me, my child," said the wo
man; "1 will break it for you."
She made several attempts, but the efforts
almost exhausted her.
"I brought this on myself," she sobbed
! violently. "By my own act I l ave put from
roe kind and loving parents and a happy
home, and all for a man who turned out as
they predicted. I deserve to suffer for; but
my child, must she too suffer for her moth
er's sins? If I could get my child sent to a
charitable institution, I could get along my
self, but if not (here her voice faltered,) the
river will end all my tioubles. Can I see
the Judge?"
The justice, however, had not arrived, and
she sat down to wait. Some minutes pass
ed, when a tall man with snow white hair
entered the court room. He glanced hastily
about, and becameTleeply agitated on catch
ing a glimpse of the poor woman's face.
"My God !" he wildly exclaimed, "It is my
daughter, but how changed Kate, don't you
know me, your father ?"
The young woman give a frightened
I glance at the face of the man, and sank
back on the seat insensible, with the word
of father on her lips. The father, who said
his name was Rafus Stone, began to cry.
"How she must have suffered," he said,
as bitter tears rolled down his cheeks. "She
was half starved, while I. who had plenty,
could not find her 'o give her some. Thank
God, she Is restored to me again."
When the young woman opened her eyes
and saw the face of the man leaning over
her. she, too, began to weep.
'Father,' she sobbed, 'will you forgive
me ?'
'Everything is forgiven, he replied. 'I
will take you home and get you divorced
from that scoundrel as quick as possible.

tonishment depicted on her countenance.

was clasped in her grandfather's arms. It

Hook nosed Salmon. Among the sal
mon now coming to market are a large tinra
ber having long hooked noses and ferocious
looking mouths armed with large and sharp
teeth. These fish are all males, and with
them are a few females, apparently genuine
Chinook t, plump, clean, silvery-looking fish.
It has been thought that the hooked-nosed
fish mentioned above were a separate spe
cies, but from the fact that they are all
males, are caught in company with the fe
males of the chlnook species, it is evident
that they belong to that variety. But what
a change their long stay in fresh water has
wrought. Their misshapen heads and dingy,
battered bodies bear no resemblance to the
plump, handsome chinooks caught in season.
Their strong, sharp teeth would seem to
disprove the idea that salmon eat nothing
during their stay in fresh water ; but it may
be that these are weapons to be usd in
guarding the eggs deposited by the females.
Though the flesh of these uncouth fish is of
good color and many of them are in fair con
dition, they can not be considered as very
suitable lot food. Portland Vrtnon'-x.
