SYMPTOMS OF A DISEASED Litck.
Bad Breath; Pais in the Side, sometimes the
pain is felt under the Shoulder-blade, mistaken for
Rheumatism, general loss of appetite; Bowel*
generally costive, sometimes alternating with lax;
the head is troubled with pain, is dull and heavy,
with considerable loss of memory, accompanied
with a painful sensation of leaving undone something
which ought to have been done; a slight, dry coug'a
and flushed face is sometimes an auendant, oft em
mistaken for consumption; the padeat complains
of weariness and debility; nervous, easily startled:
feet cold or burning, sometimes a prickly sensation
of the skin exists; spirits are low and despondent,
and, although satisfied that exercise would be ben»-
fcial, yet one can hardly summon up fortitude to
try it —in fact, distrusts every remedy. Several
of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred when but few of them existed, yet
examination after death has shown the Llltr to
have been extensively deranged. •
It should he used by all persons, old aad
young;, whenever any of the aboTt
symptoms appear*
Persons Traveling or Living In Un
healthy I.oca.lities, by taking a dose occasion
ally to keep the Liver in healthy action, will avoid
all Malaria, Billons attack*. Dirtiness, Nau
sea, Drowsiness. Depression of Spirits, etc. It
will invigorate like a glass of wine, but is uo in

If Tou have eaten anything hard of
digestion, or feel heavy after meals, or sleep
less at night, take a dose and you will be relieved.
Time and Doctors' Bills will be saved
by always keeping the Regulator

For, whatever the ailment may be, a thoroughly
safe purgative, alterative and tonic can
never be out of place. The remedy is harmless
and does not Interfere with business or
pleasure.
IT IS PURELY VEGETABLE.
And has all the power and efficacy of Calomel or

BUTLER. PA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 15. 1882
SELECT.
A Terrible liuiit.
A letter from Montana describes a
strange and terrible scene among the
Indians there. A young brave having
insulted one of four young squaws
must defend himself against the com
bined attack of the four sisters. The
writer describes the assembling of the
Indians to witness tie contest, and
goes on to say :
Now the lines are broken and the
tribe forms a hnge ring into which the
savage who provoked the animosity of
the Polecat family is summarily thrust.
He looks sullen and dogged. He has
a hard fight before him, and he knows
it, but he is a man of his hands and he
means to wear those girls out if it lies
in muscle and prompt and effectual
work. He may strike them anywhere
above the breast, and kill them if a
blow on the neck will do it, but bullets
and arrows are ready for him if he
strikes foul. The girls on the other
hand, must take off his apron. If they
accomplish that, he is disgraced to the
uttermost moment of his life, driven
from his tribe, left to starve on the
prairie, and all Indians cautioned
against harboring, feeding or associat
ing with him. The injured woman is
allowed to have such squaws as she
may select to assist her But if she
chooses too many to effect her purpose
it is a disgrace to her, and so she is
careful to select only enough
the battle nearly equal.
The Polecat girls are the belles of
the Yankunais tribe. It a squaw can
be pretty, these girls are beautiful, and
by virtue of their attractions and their
father's possessions in horses and other
satisfactory property they are the
aristocrats of the camp. Perhaps for
that reason they ask no help in their
present undertaking; and for that rea
son also, perhaps, their savage sisters
giggle and exchange whispers as the
four girls sfr>p into the ring and ap
proach the waiting buck. All five are
in full war paint. Down the hunter's
cheeks aud along his ueck are alternate
sepia and green and yellow stripes on
a background of brilliant rid, while his
chest, sides and back are tricked out
with rude pictures of guns, bows and
horses. The girls have smeared their
faces with a coating of red, over which
lies anoiher of green striped with yel
low. Their hair is unfastened at the
back, and the front locks are braided
with otter fur. Each wears a skirt and
leggings, but their blankets are laid
aside and their muscular brown arms
are displayed.
There are no preliminaries. The
girls dash at their enemy and attempt
to grasp him If all hands manage to
get hold of him half the battle is ac
complished. But he meets them
squarely and fairly, planting a cruel
blow between the eyes of the girl he
bad injured, knowing that if she is
finished he can compel her to call off
the rest. She is the general of the at
tacking force and the prime object of
his attack. Over she goes like a pine
wheel, but she is up again, her face
streaming with blood and her eyes
swelling The elder girl has contrived
to secure a waist hold and locked her
hands behind bis back. His fists fall
upon her upturned face with frightful
force, but she keeps her hold. The
other two girls are pressing him hard
from behind, but his elbows work like
battering rams, and one steps back with
her hands pressed tightly to her breast
and a look of agony in her eyes. Now
he whirls suddenly, planting ponderous
blows upon the face and head of the
girl who, on her knees, still clings to
his waist with a death grip. He fairly
raises her from the ground as he spins,
but her hold never relaxes.
His earlier victim again dashed at
him and is rewarded by a crashing
stroke on the mouth. She reels, but
recovers and darts again to receive his
fist on her neck with a force that whirls
her half a dozen paces off and drops
her like a log. Not a word is spoken.
The thug of his fists, and the heavy
breathing of the struggling contestants
are the only sounds. The last rally of
the prostrate girl has enabled the rear
party to catch the buck, and oue has
twined her arms around his neck, while
the other hangs to the right wrist. His
left hand is still free, and it fairly
twinkles in the air as he batters the
maiden at his wrist. Her grasp is like
iron, but her head reels and sways as
his heavy hand falls on it with a noise
j that reaches the furtheredt side of the
irregular ring. Her eyes are closed
and her breath comes convulsively.
Were the fourth girl there to grasp
that arm, the fight would soon end.
The girl behind is choking him, and
he employs new tactics. Grasping the
kneeling girl by the throat, be pounds
the face of the one behind hint with the
back of his head. No vanity prompts
are to let go. She tightens her grip,
and buries her face in the back of his
neck. . The fourth girl is up, stagger
ing and dazed. Brushing the blood
from her eyes with an augry motion,
she approaches him, crouching as she
moves. If the blow be has iu store for
her reaches the mark he will have
another chance, for tho girl at his
waist is growing faint, and he can
easily disposa of the other two. She
comes at him like a cougar. The blow
is delivered full upon her breast, but
she grasps his wrist ami writhes up
bis arm.
Now be is beset with danger. The
two on bis arms and tbe one at bis
waist pull him forward, tbe girl behind
still strangling him, throws her weight
on his back It vain he attempts to
straighten. Tbe kneeling girl bends
in her despairing struggle until her
hair bangs on tbe ground. Tbe other
three show the muscles rigid in their
arms as they press bim down upon
their kneeling sister. Suddenly he

effort of strength. The fainting girl at

But that triumph was his defeat. With
a crash be comes to tbe ground, three

on his face and the other two kneel on
his arms. There is a struggle, and
then the youngest rises with a wild
yell, waving tbe apron in her band.
Her yell is echoed by a low moan as

of satisfaction hs Polecat recognizes the
victory of his girls.

pounding bis drum and yelling his
prayers, for his medicine was only half
vindicated by the triumph of the morn
ing. Down in Chief Polecat's lodge
four bruised and weary girls are meud

solicitude, and at the outer edge of the
camp a bent old woman looks wistfully ,
away to the north, where the shadows j

A Naiily Declaration.
Don Cameron closes his last cam
paign with his greatest blunder. By
foolishly attempting to bully Govern
or Hoyt into subjection he has driven
bin to open revolt. It has been
known for weeks that the Governor's
sympathies were with the Independ
ents, but he naturally felt some delica
cy in avowing them openly. He was
nominated and elected Governor by
the aid of the machine methods which
the Independents are seeking to de
stroy, and he could not turn against
Cameron without subjecting himself
to a charge of ingratitude. He was,
therefore, keeping silent and taking no
part in the campaign. This did not
suit Don Cameron. After the usual
Boss style, he cracked his whip over
the Governor and attempted to force
him to the support of General Bea
ver. He ordered his Harrisburg or
gan to attack him as a warning of his
coming wrath, and then spread
abroad a report that the Governor was
about to declare allegiance to Beaver.
No longer ago than Friday morning a
letter was published by a tool of Cam
eron in Harrisburg saying that the
writer had received a letter from the
Governor in which he declared him
self a friend aud supporter of the Bea
ver ticket. This appears to have goaded
the Governor into open revolt, for on
Saturday he publishes his letter of
emancipation.
It is a remarkable document. We
can readily believe that it will influ
ence thousands of Republicans who
were intending to support Beaver to
east their votes for Stewart. It is
the voice of one machine Governor
warning the people against electing an
other. "When I reflect," he says,
"upon the humiliation put upon my
self as Chief Magistrate for resisting
some of the purposes of the machine,
which puts politics above administra
tive propriety, and when I reflect up
on the force of the insulting methods
applied to myself by meaus of threats,
intrigue and bad faith, I realize some
of Cardinal Wolsey's regrets that he
had only served his God with half the
zeal he had served his king." That
was the impressive outburst of a man
who has found machine dictation in
tolerable. He cannot maintain his
self respect and keep silent: "In the
name of decency and in behalf of my
successor, I wish to emphasize the
curs<; of the whole business and
sound a note of warning to the whole
people." We presume that this dec
laration will be sufficient to end the
foolish talk about unloading Cameron
and electing Beaver at the same time.
Governor Hoyt shows that the Boss
considers the office of Governor his
personal property, to be used as he
shall dictato, without regard to the
welfare of the whole people. The
surest way to cure him of that notion
is to defeat his candidate and thus
show him that hereafter the Republi
cans of the State and not Don Came
ron will select the candidate.
Governor Hoyt has had the courage
to break away from the curse of the
system which helped to elect him, but
does anybody suppose that General
Beavor would be man enough to do
the same if he was elected ? Assured
ly not. He has refused to pledge
himself to independent action on the
ground that it "would be ju9t as dis
honorable to pledge one's self against
a man as for him." He says he would
rather not be Governor than unload
the boss who is so absolute a dictator
that, in the language of the present
Governor, "iu all the space between
abject submission and rebellion no
place is given for appeal, argument
or protest." General Beaver thinks
it would be dishonorable for him to
pledge himself to prefer the welfare
of the people to the interests of such a
Boss, and .he must be taken at his
word. Tho people will listen to the
voice of experience as it is uttered by
Governor lloyt and leave Beaver to
his fate. After four years of service
as machine Governor the present Ex
ecutive sounds a "note of warning to
the whole people" that the position is
intolerable to auy honest, patriotic
man. There was hardly a chance for
Beaver's electiou before this letter was
published, and we presume there is
none whatever now. Every true and
loyal Republican in the State has but
one course to follow, and that is to
vote the Independent ticket. In that
way Cameron and bis system can be
overthrown, the party emancipated
from its curse, and the future secured.

DiMlrtlMilloii ol Wool.
About twenty-five per cent of the
entire production of domestic wool (
during the census year 1880, came
from two States, Ohio and California, ,
the former with 25,000,000 pounds,
and the latter with 1T,000,000 pounds; !
in 1870 the product of the former was
20,000,000, and of tho latter 11,000,- (
000 pounds. The next States in the '
order of importance as woolgrowers in
1880, were Michigan, with 12,000,000;
New York with 9,000,000; Pennsylva
nia with 8,000,000; Missouri with 7,-
000,000. Texas produces nearly as
much as the latter State; in 1870 it
produced only 2,250,000 pounds. The
total product of the Union in 1880 was
155,000,000 pounds, clipped from 35.-
000,000 sheep.

A Mounter Nice! .Spring.
Ou the 17th of October, there was
made at Pittsburgh the largest steel
spring in the world. It is the Grst of
a series of eight destined to act as
street car motors. The initial spring
was made of open hearth steel, with
a carbon percentage of 0.55. The
ingot was cast 14x14 and 7 feet long.
To properly heat this bloom, a heat
ing furnace 30 feet in length was built
at the Superior Iron and Steel Works,
Pittsburgh. The next operation, the
final rolling, was the most interesting,
and was only possible through the
use of the Kloman "nuiversal" mill or
rolls. These .had been devised by
the late Andrew Kloman, and havo
become widely known in connection
with the first successful rolling of
weldless steel eyebars for structural
purposes. By means of hydraulic
press-ure, acting through a toggle joint,
an enormous pressure can be brought
to bear upon the metal during its pas
sage between the rolls, while a very
quick reversal is also possible. The
steel bloom referred to was rolled in
this mill, in 30-foot sections, down to
a length of 150 feet and 6x£ inches,
and finally to a length of~3lo feet
and a perfectly uniform width of f»
icches and a thickness of inch. Its
weight wus then 1,700 pounds; and
to ship it, the spring was coiled
around a 4-foot pulley, the latter be
ing given a slow motion as the band
emerged from the heating furnace.

TIIE SUWANEE RIVER. —The song
writer who embalmed the name of
this stream in his verses, "builded

"Way down U|H>U de Sawnee Ribbcr,
Far, far away:
Par's whar my heart is turning ebber,
l>ar's whar tie old folks stay.
All around de whole creation,
Kbery whar I roam ;
Sighing for de old plantation,
And for de old folks at home.
The words are in the rude dialect
of the plantation, but the sentiment
touches ibe universal heart. As in
the Crimean bivouac, when
"Kach soldier thought a different name,
But all sang Annie Laurie,"
so the song of the Suwanee calls up
to every hearer tender thoughts of
home and its endearing ties. The
name of the river is not, as many
suppose, wholly aboriginal. The early
Spanish explorers, in accordance with
their pious custom, named the river

A wealthy widower of this State,
three or four days before the formal
engagement which proceeded his second
marriage transferred all bis real estate
to trustees to be held in trust for him
self during his life, and after his death
to be conveyed to hi* three children by
his first wife. When the trust deed
was executed it was understood be
tween him and his intended bride
that they were soon to become en
gauged to be married. She knew that
he was possessed of a large amount of
property, but at tho time of her mar
riage she was ignorant of the secret
transfer that had been made. Soon af
ter they were married the husband
died, when the trust deed, whose ef
fect if valid woukl have been to de
prive the widow of her dower, was
brought to light. In spite of the deed
she claimed her share in the estate and
sued the trustees. A Court of Com
mon Picas has just decided in her
favor and allows her the dower. It
holds that the secret conveyance
made by her suitor during their court
ship and "on the eve ot his marriage
with her was lraud in law upon her
just expectations and the conjugal
rights which were about to be acquir
ed by her." And this, the Court re
marks would be equally so under the
circumstances of this case whether the
fraud was intended or the property
was conveyed in good faith.
When to pell tho products of the
farm is often a nice question for the
farmer to determine. The hope of get

frequently proves illusive. Nominally
a higher price may be obtained, but
the loss by shrinkage and depredating
rodents, insects, &c., may, and often
does, more than offset the apparont
gain, to say nothing of the loss of in
terest on the money. All these points
should be carefullv considered oefore
the fanner decides to hold for a rise in
prices We do not say that it is never
wise to wait; but the chances are, in
nine cases out of ten, that the apparent
jjain will prove a real loss.
