THE TIMES, NEW BL00MFIEL1), l'A., JUNE 25, 1877.
"THE SURE WITNESS."
" The nineteenth century Is Iho nuo of
novels," remarks a literary historian lie
miff lit luivo milled with rqiml truth, "and
tiovcl impositions." Ht lulled politeness
bns been passed off on us for native rofluo
ment, the forms of devotion for itsessonco,
nnd speculations for science, tintil wo look
askance nt every new person or tiling, and
to nn assertion of merit,invariiibly exclnlni,
"I'rove It!" In brief, Salmi hasmado him
self (so omnipresent, that, wo look for his
cloven foot everywhere even in a bottle of
medloiue. Imagine a lady, having a com
plexion so sallow that you would deny her
claims to the Caucasian type if her features
did not conform to it, purchasing her llrst
bottle of the Golden Medical Discovery.
The one dollar is paid in the very identical
manner in which Mr. Tuylor might be ex
pected to purchase a lottery ticket after his
experience with "No. 104, 103," with this
dill'ereiico, his doubt would bo the result of
personal experience, whilo hers would be
founded on what a certain practitioner
(who has beeii a whole year trying to correct
her refractory liver) has said concerning it.
At borne, she examines tho bottle half
suspiciously, taste of its contents carefully,
takes the prescribed doso more carefully,
und then proceeds to watch the result with
as much unxicty as a practitioner would
count the pulse-beats of a dying man. Bho
takes another dose, and another, and shows
the bottle to her friends, telling them she
" feels better." Her skin loses its billions
tint, her eyes regain thoir lustre, her accus
tomed enevgy returns, and tho fact that she
purchases another bottlo is a sure witness
that she had found the Golden Medical
Discovery to bo a reliable remedy for the
diseaso indicated. The lady wisely resolves
that in future her estimate of any medicine
will bo based upon a personal knowledge
of its ellects, and not uppu what some
practitioner (who always makes long bills
rhyme with pills) may say of it. Dr.
Pierce is in receipt of letters from hundreds
of the largest wholesale and retail druggists
In the United States stating that nt the
present time there is a greater demand for
tho Golden Medical Discovery and Purga
tive Pellets than ever before. Inflec
tions of the liver and blood they are unsurpassed.
Sunday in Deadwood.
On Sunday the people pour into Dead
wood from the adjoining camps, and during
the day the streets have the appearance of a
national celebration. On closer inspection
you discover that the crowd is attracted by
an auctioneer, who has mounted a barrel
and is crying his wares, the accumlation of
every kind of pawned property. On the
other side the prize package man holds out
valuable inducements to a gaping crowd,
who, after listening to a harangue of fif
teen minutes, stand in awo, with disap
pointment stamped upon thoir countenances
to see the fortune they might have possess
ed had they only drawn the lucky packet
he displays before them. Then the bands
send out lively music from tho " free-and-easy
V whilo the merchants are busy
bantering their wares for gold dust to tho
dusky miner. Everybody is on the alert,
tramping to and fro, in and out and up and
down tho mountains. Then, just around
the corner from this busy throng, the un
pretentions building occupied for a church
sends forth its echoes from the three or
four score of worshippers there assembled
and many are the hardy miners who here
take the opportunity to thank God for
health and success ; and all these, together
with the confusion upon the streets and
yelps from dog fights, reverberate over the
bills. When the weather is pleasant groups
of two and upwards are seen winding upou
the towering bed rocks or climbing through
the mountain pines. Toone not accustomed
to the romantio regions.such proceedings
religion, traffic, toil and pleasure going to
make up Sunday appear absurd in tho
extreme. But such is mountain life, and
in a brief time tho most fastidious pilgrim
from the more Athenian regions will be
come accustomod to and fascinated by
them. Black Hill Times.
A Dodge That Worked Badly.
A telegram says that Thomas Wilson, a
skillful forger and expert telegraph opera
tor, forged a draft for $9400 on a bank in
Cynthiana, Ky., and took in with him as a
confederate a woman named Amanda Griftin
who was to present the check at the bauk
of George II. CoUes in Osceola. At a
point about thirtyinilcs from Osceola the
telegraph wire was cut, and connected
with wires running out through tho brush
to a secluded spot, where a battery and
instrument were placed, and where,- tho
operator was stationed. The woman pre
sented the draft, and although the forging
was well executed, the cashier had sonio
doubt as to its genuineness, and so express
ed himself. " Telegraph then, tolegraph,"
was the woman's response. Of courso the
scheme was to have the cashier telograph,
to intercept the message at the point whore
the wire was cut, and then, after waiting a
proper time, to answer that tho draft was
all light. The bank did telegraph, but
through some bungling on the part of tho
operator, the message got past the break,
reached its proper dutiuation, and a reply
at once was received that tho draft was a
forgery. The woman was in tho bauk when
the reply came, and she was immediately
arrested. Wilson was also arrested.
C53T A man and his wife who keep a
little provision shop in Chester, England,
have beeu blessed with several children,
but all have died. Recently the mau
happened to be in the Black Lion Inn,
Boughton, and there met a dissipated
looking woman, with a child extremely
l.ke the one they had last buried. Struck
with the resemblance, he hurried home to
bis wife to toll ber of the occurence. They
both returned to the inn, and, after some
questions and bargaining, succeeded in
getting the woman to part with the child
for the sum of $1.25. The infant was
taken by the man and wife.and the woman
went on her way and has not been beard of
since. The child is now looking remarkably
well and clean, and has wonderfully im
proved in appearance. The only anxiety
felt by its new possessors is lest the strange
woman should return to claim the little
waif.

for sale tlfe other day the skeletons cf bis

up from the grave for that purpose, lie
