Men mid women sometimes withstand Kie.it phjsi cal violence, but suc cumb to the invisible genus of consumption so small that they can lie been only under i a powerful microscope. The htartiiif.; point of consumption is in the stomach, which, when deranged, makes had mood because diges , lion is not perfect, mid J'in bid blood the mi crobes multiply and flourish. Sooner or later the lungs are at tacked, and in the w eak spots the germs begin their deadly work of tearing down the tis sues. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery stops the encroachments of con sumption microbes. It builds up and fortifies the whole system by aiding the stomach in its many functions. It assists lu the proper assimilation of food. This scientific remedy cures lingering coughs, bronchitis, bleeding at the lungs, ami every other symptom that eventually leads to consumption. Dr. R, V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. v., who makes this won derful medicine, gives tee, fatherly ad vice to all who write him, " List spring I was taken with seere jiaius lu my chest, aud niiu weak I could liardly walk about tlie house," says Mrs. C V, Kerr, of Fort Podge.

Iler adopted and death' beloved sister, a gill ot two 01 three and twenty, came to nurse the pour lady timing the last months of her existence, and did all In her power to alleviate tho anxieties and sufferings under which she labored. No one was so welt qualified to do this for Mrs. Hoornn ay her adopted sister, Polly, to whom .she was devoted, and In whom with good reason she reposed Implicit confidence. When Polly pionilsod to stand by the little glils at any cost their dyinn mother was as happy about them as In the clieuntstanccs It was possible fur he i to be. And In a few day." the mercl- fill lelopso came, th King James Hooian lnollier - ln - l.iw. Naj ' Hooian' dead wife had actually exacted a pi omi.se fiom her husband which he gave lead 11 enoush -tint 'Polly should be al lowed to lemain on as long as she might wish to do -). Pcihaps the piomlse was no absolute guaiantee, for Hooran both gave and broke pledges with a facility acquired by long piae tice Hut as the broker liked his slstei -in-law and seemed desirous to keep on fiiendlv tei mt. with her, there was no immediate piospect. at any late, of Pollj's having to seek another home. Pot some time alter his wife's death James Hooian kept wondei fully sober and stinight. He eschewed bad com pany; came nome at legular hours; spent his evenings In the toelety of Ills little tlaughtcis and their auntie. It was, altogethei, a maivelotis change. Polly was pleased and lelleved bejond measuie bv the termination. She had vot to disuiveio its Hue cause. And then, altei a while, sbe did so, bei pleaiuif and relief weie speedily van ished. The iliscovoy took place with in six weeks after Mis Ilooian's death It was one evening. The children had gone to bed, and Pollv was alone In hoi hiother-ln-law's company. Then he delivoud himself of his seciet He spoke wolds of love to Pollv. He vowed that she vv.it. tlie light of his life and the star of his soul (.lames Hooran's soul!); that, beieft of hei, his futute would be a blank, and ninth moie In a slmilai stiain, iKcoidlng to his wajs and methods of passionate deilaia tlun. A, soon as Pollv 's ama'eiuent and disgust allowed her to speak she tut him stonily shoit. Did he lealUe what he was saving' Did he understand that his bis wife had not yet lain six weeks In hei gi.ive.' Did he undei st.ind that that she he had alvvnjs legal ded him, Heated him, thought ot him, as hei own biother-in-law ; and th.it to him speaking so to hei stiutk her with unspeakable hoiioi!

And p the end, ilndlng that his hostility and his filondllnenH weie tieated by hot with '!'- contempt, he to her gieat thankfulness gave up poLseuuting her, aud left her ulone. In oi dei to make eleai the acute mental sufretintr which the poor giil underwont dining this jieiiod, it Is nee e.ssaiy to iimko a few lenmrks on hei ehaiacter and tempeiameut. She shall not he here- described an "hlgh-piln-eipled." I'or that might convey a wrong impression. High piinclple frequently has the mlHtoitune to bo associated with piigglshness not to say phailsa lsm that wo are apt to legatel its pos sessor as an obtiuslve embodiment of conscious virtue; one who possibly is not as other men are, but who cettaln ly feels mi offensive pride In tho dis tinction, That, however, was notPolly'i way. If there was one quality which she consciously lacked, thin tas the spit It of self-appreclntlon, Nay, she seldom thought of herself at all, Kind ness and goodness came to her spon taneously. They blossomed In her as the bloom on a plant natui ally, and becauno thev could not help it; and It never occuned to her any more than it does to the plant to analyze and In ttospect tho woith or quality of what was thus produced. A puier-mlnded girl It would have been Impossible to meet; nor one whose natuie was moie essentially Innocent, and that not with me innocence which owes itsi existence to a jealous exclusion from all knowl edge of, all contact with, evil; but with the innocence which the fullest knowl edge and contact aie Impotent to soil. To a girl of this character, James Hooran was. In the nature of things, repulsive, and under any circumstances she could only have considered a dec laration of love fiom him as odious and offensive. Hut considering that her adopted sister had only been a few weeks dead considering, too, the re lation In which sho stood to Hooran (whom she had so lonpj been accus tomed to legard ns hound to her by ties which made any love, except fra ternal lo-ve, Impossible) the thing came upon her ns a painful outrage. The Impulse which urged her, In her first bewilderment and disgust, was to leavo Hooran's house without delay. Tt was checked at once both by the thought oC her promise to her dead sister, and bv her own peisonnl devo tion to tho two little glrla They were Just at the age cloven nnd twelve, re spectivelywhen good influences and pme surroundings were above all things essential to th"m. If they were left to their father, and to the sort ot women he might choose to look after them why, God help the poor gills! After nil, the dnnger to them, If she went uvvnv was gi eater than tlie dan ger to herself If she remained. She had knowledge suillclent to guard her fiom hurt or harm. Her nieces, on the con H.iry. wore nt Uie mercy of their pui rouiutlngs. In the next few jenrs char aeteiH would be formed In them which would determine their whole fiiluie. It was for her to sutHirlntend nnd dltect their formation. Nothing should deter her from that. As the months wont by she began to feel veiy thankful that she had found stiongth to fulfill her promise, and to stand ly the little girls. Her presence nnd protection became every day more necessary. Duilnp his wife's lifetime Hooran had had tlie grace to pursue his vulgar flirtations away from home. But now, since she was dead, and es pecial! v since Polly had lepulsed his utlili esses, he seemed to have thrown regard for appearances to the winds. When the master of a house takes to llli ting with his own maid-servants, it is plain that he is in a fair way to lose, If he has not alio.idy lost It, his solf lcspect altogether. To this vulgarity James Hooian now stooped. Ho se lected the parlor maid, named Hllcn, for the object of his attentions. He cairled on with her In an odious man net ; and tho girl not unnaturally, per hapshad her hand completely turned, and hinted amonir the other domestics that Fhe was likely soon to be made Mrs. Hooran, and aiistiess of the house. She gave herself absurd airs, and be came so offensive to Polly nnd the childien that the poor girl was com pelled to lemonstrate with Hooran, and to uige him to dlseliaige HUen at once. Hooian flatly refu.sqd. He even had tho caddlshnc's to garnish his refusal with coaise badinage in this stiain: 'Ha' mv girl, I bee how it is. Your nose is out of joint eh? Well, vou've hi ought It on jourselt. You had your chance, and wouldn't take it. Blame no one else'" She tieated this offensive insinuation with silent contempt. "For the sake of your little girls," she taiil, "that youm? woman ought not to remain In this house." "Hf, I dnie say! For the sike of my little girls?" Hooran sneered. "Won't wash, Polly. One lor them and two for jouifcelt", my gltl " "Hut, oh, James' for the sake of j. our dead wife, whom you promised" " vou," lie bioke in, with an oath. "Stop this pieachlng. I'm master in this house, and I won't be interfeired with. If j ou aie not satisfied, the fiont door is open to ou any minute jou please!" Theie was no moie to be i-aid; at le ibt, not thin. Tlie fellow was moie than half dittiik His fuce was bloated and hei.v His bloodshot ees weie alight with c 11 passion. Polly left his pieence in disgust. Hut her determi nation rot to dcv-eit the childien was moie than evei lied. As time went on, matteis giew woise. Hllen's aiis became moie and moie In .suftiiable. telle woie line clothes, sninit gew-gaws. ret used to do menial vwiih, gave the law to the other ser vants, and bv her conduct diove all the better among them to leavo. She hated Polly, whom Mie legaided as a lhal, and as an obsta( lo to the fulfillment of her designs; and she now behaved to her with an insolence which could boaioelv- be supported. In addition, sho was using stiong peisunslon witli Hoo ian to nd his hotibchold of stuck-up Miss Pollv; and, although the fellow had, so fur declined to take thib btep, ot it was obvious tlmt Hllcn sained his en mine and more every day.

Special Correspondence to The Tribune. New York, Jan. C The Independent waist sin vivos' all attacks aAd not only for aenernl nnd theatre wear, hut for full chess occasions Is conspicuous and regatded as Indispensable. True, there Is special stvlo In a dress which Is really a dross; the same admits of de lightful harmonies throughout, and has a plctoilal superiority Imposslblo to a divided garment. Nevertheless, an out fit of Independent waists hi lugs about the perpetual variety desOred by wealthy persons, while to competing poverty, It becomes a veritable tower of strength. Independent skirts are, of couise, a necessity, and at present prcf ably made of thin fabrics, ciepe do Chine being In very great favor, but moussellne, not, lace, and the like af ford change, nnd In the way of thicker skirts, Llbcity satin is uasd quite largely. SPANGLES, of course, nover come amiss; their lustre Is still a fashionable fad, and dressmakets who would utilize bro cades, now do so upon occasion, by outlining patterns with spangles, which endorse them once more In fashionable esteem. Independent velvet sklits, when conectly woin, form a supeib contn&t to thin waists Prtncesse gowns nit- a nattnal consequence of the sheath-llke skirts that have found favor, and each week such style Is more frequently noticeable at indoor gatherings. As yet, the prlncesse contour Is confined to dresses of rich material unsulted to sticet wear. Hut as the stjle under consideration Is adapted only to com- piiatlvely good llguies, It can never become common, although much In the way of concealing deflclonces Is accom plished by full and ornate fronts. The gieat popularity of velvet Ins doubt less contributed toward the wearing of prlncesse dresses, and while eminently suited to fabilcs having some body, jet the ascendancy of thin materials at present if such ns to induce their fre quent employment In outlines that nt another time would be thought too se vere. Of course stiain, however, is laid on the silk lining, upon which diaap hanoub goods can be laid at will. FURS aie an intoiestlng question at all sea sons, and it may be added aie appro piiate to all departments of dress, olnce they have their high position not only In evening diess but millinery as well. A low-neck ball diess trimmed with fur is most highly esteemed; on faliy llke capes and neck accessories touches of fur give a distinction possible to nothing el&e, and a fui-tilmmed gown may be counted upon bv a fashionable woman as a means beyond compare, for exciting those pangs of envy in the" health or other women, which bring such satisfaction to her own.

Promo tho Lowlston (Mc.) Journal A little over a week ago a party con sisting of Oliver Cookson, Finnic Nor ton, Randall Goodwin and Albert Cookson loft Newport for a hunting trip. They went to a camp about six teen miles from Costlgan, and the ex periences of the party while away were such that the memheis are not likely to soon forgot them. The light snow that fell about the time that thoy com menced hunting enabled the members of tho party to track deer readily. Al bert Cookson was loft at tho camp to look after the things, hi lug lame and not able to git tlnough the woods like the other members of the party. "Wed nesday, while alono at the camp, a large deer came up within a short dis tance of tho place, and Mr. Cookson tried his luck with the rifle. The deer was wounded, but had vitality enough to make good speed In getting away ft om the spot. Cookson follow ed In tho hope that ha would have something wotth while to show the others on their return. He followed the deer for seveial hours as best he could, but the animal kept out of his wav, and as darkness began to settle he commencctl to think that It would be best for him to get back to camp.
