IT 13 NOW an acknowledged fact that Con
sumption can be cured. It hat been cured In
very great nnmber of cases (some of them
apparently desperate ones) by Schonck's
Pulmonic Syrup alone, and In others by the
same medicine In connection with Schenk't
8ca Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or
both, according to the requirements of the
case.
The old supposition that " Consumption Is
Incurable," for many years deterred Physicians
from attempting to find ft remedy for that
disease, and patients afflicted with It recon
ciled themselves to death without and effort
being made to save them from a doom which
was considered Inevitable.
Dr. Schenck himself was supposed at one
time to bo at the very gate of death, his
Physicians having pronounced his case hope
less and abend on ed him to his fate i he was
cured by the aforesaid medicines and afterward
enjoyed uninte rupted good health for more
than forty years. Thousands of people have
used Dr. Schcnck's preparations with the same
rcmarkubla success.
Schenck'a Almanac, containing a thorough
treatise on Consumption, Liver Complaint,
Dyspepsia Ac., can be had gratis of any
drugglbt, or of J. II. Schenck it Son, Phila
delphia. Full dlrecetions for the ue of
Schonck's medicine accompany each paekuiro.

Josh, Jemima, and the Wolves.
JOSH 8TAVER loved Jemima Tine,
apple. Loved her, did I any Y Love
wag no name for It. Whenever ho saw
her hi heart bounded up into his throat
so violently that he was thrown to the
ground. Cold chills would run all over
him, as he expressed it, "from the sole
of his head to the crown of his foot."
Jemima was pretty, to Josh ; her hair
"red as the red sea," large eyes which
had the faculty of looking ways opposite
each other at the same time, and a nose
which looked as if it had been lengthened
by the addition of several others.
Now Joshua had never escorted Jemi
ma home, for she lived near two miles
from Fleaburg. She came to "meetln' "
every Sabbath night, and would walk
across the fields all alone, not In the
least afraid of the wild beasts which at
that time infested the country. But one
night our hero resolved to bear the dam
gel company, and accordingly prepared
for his nocturnal Journey. He got his
grandfather's horse-plBtol, and loaded It
to the muzzle, and thrust a large butcher
knife In his bosom, which thrust didn't
hurt him much, for it was the bosom of
his coat. A lantern completed his
'fixings."
The meeting closed, and Josh, with
Jemima leaning on his arm like a large
gourd hanging from a tall vine, set out
for the Pineapple mansion.
" We are In the woods now, Jemima,,'
said Josh, as he assisted his parter over
the fence of the last field, " and now
comes the tug of war. I'll bet a dime
that these woods are full of wolves."
" I think they will not attack us ; but
if they do, oh, Joshua, on thy arm I
will recline, and breathe my life out
sweetly there." And she gave such a
sweet sigh that Josh started, thinking it
the half-smothered growl of a boar.
" What's the matter, Josh Y"
"Oh, nothing," and gaining new
cournge at the sound of Jemima's voice,
he squeezed her arm till she nearly
screamed aloud .
Suddenly a strange cry echoed through
the wood.
" Wolves !" shouted Josh.
" Hears!" re-echoed his partner.
" Come, Jemima,lct us git.' And they
Through tho wood they vent, Josh
literally dragging Jemima aong. The
foe was approaching; the couplo could
hear his footsteps in the leavrs for they
had wandered from the path,
"Josh, I can't go any further; we
must 1 tree it,' " said Jemima, as &e
paused for breath. j
"By gosh, wo must. Herfr is a tree
with its limbs nigh hanging on the
ground. Climb it, Jemim'i! Here I
go. Gods! if the animal climbs the
tree, what then V And with a bound
tho terrified Joshua climbed up the teee,
leaving Jemima to follow Mm or be de
voured by the terrible pursier a few feet
iu their wake. j
But Jemima was an old limbor, and
was soon beside Josh, who was perched
in one of the highest bratches of the
tree. j
" Listen, Jemima; hear ! the horrible
thing gnawing at the tree.' It is wolves,
sure'n shootin'. They wjll gnaw the
tree down in half an hour"
" I fear so, Josh." j
" But hold, Jemima! Jvegota pis
tol," said our hero, thjnking of his
weapon for the first timethat night.
" Now, just keep still whle I shoot."
He deliberately cocked! the weapon,
pointed it down through the branches
where the pursuer was ptwing among
the leaves, and fired. It Vas a destruc
tive shot, and Josh Vjent spinning
through the tree like greased lightning.
He had loaded the pistol o heavily that
it had kicked him from his perch into
the jaws of the animal Mow. But for
tunately he alighted on Us feet, and in
an instant he was again up tho tree, hat
less, his red locks catchiig in the limbs,
which cruelly tore themfrom his head.
" I was a durned fool,femima,to have
loaded that pistol so leavily, and it
kicked me right Into thewolves mouths,
but, that thank Moses, t escaped. Just
feel uiy head." f
Jemima placed her hind upon Josh's
cranium, and withdrev it wet with
gore.
" That is uiy blood, qied for you, Je
mima, and I am willing to shed more,
dogoned if I ain't."
" Can the wolves clit b Y"
"Climb like rabbitj, Jemima; and
every minute I am looting for them to
come up here. I dol believe my shot
killed half a dozen of hem. Listen at
tbem gnawing. If we only could keep
them gnawing at souiiblng else beside
the tree, till daylight, we would be
safe."
" May be they are Ike bears, Joshua,
they will eat auythinr you throw to
them." j
" Well, I'll try th!n;so first, here
goes my boots," and (iking off his fine
boots Josh groped lis way out on a
limb.
" Farewell, dear bu ts, bran new ones,
cost eight dollars thl
blessed morning.
Farewell, I sacrifice you to Jemima,"
and tho splendid boots were gone.
For awhile the animal ceased (ftiawlng
the tree and gnawed the boots, Josh
cursing Inwardly the while. At last
the gnawing recommenced.
" Blast him I he ain't satisfied with
eight dollars' worth of leather, so I'll
have to give him seventeen dollars'
worth of cloth," away went his coat ; it
was soon followed by his vest and
stockings, and Joshua declared that his
" unmentionable raiment" would follow
the rest, at which declaration Jemima
blushed anifsald :
"Oh! Joshua."
"Blasted if I don't Jemima," he
spoke determinedly, and would no doubt
make his word good.
But tho vest satisfied the animal be
neath the tree, and a few hours later
morning dawned. The lovers, for they
were such now,descended the tree, when
lo! to their astonishment they beheld
Jamlma's pet calf chewing at Joshua's
coat. They realized all in an instant. It
was the calf which had followed them
and not wolvesi The gnawing they
heard was the harmless animal chewing
at some undergrowth which grew plenti
fully around. Josh's eyes Ailed with
tears when ho looked around. There
lay the boots, but ruined forever ; here
the coat and vest chewed into pulp.
They said nothing, but proceeded to
the rineapple mansion, when they told
a doleful story about being treed by
wolves; how Joshua had sacrificed his
clothes to save their lives; how he
slaughtered near forty of tho ravenous
animals, &c, etc.
Old rinapple said such bravery and
devotion should not go unrcwarded,and,
placing Jemima's hand in John's, told
him to take her ns his mate,
1. 8. They wero married, and now
live in a little hut with one room and a
garret, near Fleaburg, now iv flourishing
" burg" on Turtle Creek.
N. B. Jemima's pet calf was never
seen after the night it treed the devoted
couple. We rather guess it didn't.

OU the editor?"
he writer looked up from tho
desk on 'two small gamins with dirty
faces, who had entered the sanctum and
stood nervously twitching their ragged
caps before him.
" Yes, sir. What do you want."
" We belong to the ' Silver Stars.' I'm
ketcher and lio's shortstop. And we
waked them fellers, didn't we, Bill Y"
" You bet," responded Bill. " Why
didn't you say so before Y The ' Irish
Boys' is a good-enough club, but by
Jove, give mo the ' Silver Stars.' "
" Wliy, I'm delighted to meet both of
you," and the editor rose up, shook both
of them warmly by the hands, and
yelled for the printer's devil to bring the
gentlemen chairs.
The two redoubtable Silver Stars
looked at each other very much per
plexed, and seemed at a loss whether to
sit down or to dash out of the office. Fi
nally they adopted the former plan, and
pulling their chairs over near the door,
so as to be ready to dart out at the first
sign of hostilities, sat suspiciously eye
ing the editor, who entrenched himself
behind a mass of paper, pencil in hand.
" Now, then, tell me all about the game,
and I'll write it down."
" Well, the Irish Boys they wus a
braggin' they could beat us, and we said
we had twenty-five cents that they
couldn't. We played 'em and give 'em
six goose eggs."
"O! now, boys," said the editor,
"don't tell any lies. It is wrong to lie.
Where could you get goose eggs this time
of the year Y"
The catcher and the shortstop of the
Silver Stars looked at the editor in
amazement, and then seemed to be
mentally deciding that he was an in
fernal idiot.
" We mean to say," continued the
catcher of the Silver Stars, who was first
to recover from the shock to which he
had been subjected, " that we white
washed 'em."
" O, see," said the editor, with a sud
den burst of intelligence ; you put white
wash over them until they looked like
goose eggs. By Jove, that was a good
idea."
" No," said the catcher of the Silver
Stars, with rising ire, " we skunked 'em,
you know skunked 'em."
" Skunked 'em what do you mean
by that ?"
" We Chlcagoed 'em giu' em no
runs."
"O, now I see," said the editor, al
most bursting into a roar of laughter at
the look of Intense relief which came
over the face of the two Silver Stars.
"Go right on."
" We got right on ter the balls of the
pitcher of the Irish Boys In the last
innlns, and we pounded the life out of
him."
"Hold on," said the editor, rapidly
writing. "The Silver Stars stood on
the ball In the last Inning, and almost
killed the pitcher of the Irteh Boys
whenhe tried to get it."
For two whole minutes the Silver Stars
regarded each other in speechless aston
ishment, then the shortstop pityingly
asked:
" Mister, did you ever play boae
ball?" .
"Very little," said the editor, making
herculean efforts to keep his face straight,
" but I'll scratch this out tf it is not all
right."
"Course It Isn't right. We mean to
say we hit his balls easy ; we knocked
'cm hard. I hit him for three bags, and
made a home run."
"You did Y" said the editor, dashing
off at a tremendous rate on the paper.
"The catcher of the Silver Stars hit
three bags with a ball, and run home."
This was too much. Tho two Silver
Stars got up and unanimously conclud
ed that they must go.
" What is your hurry Y" asked the
editor, again shaking their hands warm
Ip; ' stay a little while longer. If you
can't, come up this afternoon and bring
all your friends with you glad to see
you any time."
The catcher of the Sliver Stars blew
his nose, wiped it on the cuff of his coat
and led the way down stairs in deep
thought.
" At the bottom of the first flight his
feelings could no longer control them
selves. " Bill," muttered he, " if that fellow
ain't the lgnorantest cuss I ever saw,
why yer can Jest shoot me."
"Yes," replied Bill; "but he's awful
friendly, ain't he V"
The Death of a Monkey A Remarkable
Scene.
" T NEVElt saw such a thing In my
I I life." said James Dotiolme. tho
night watchman of the Central Park
Museum, New York. " On Tuesday,
Zip, ono of Mr. Barn urn's, monkeys, fell
suddenly and dangerously ill. lie wus
a great favorite with his companions
their leader in mischief. Superintendent
Conklin examined him and said he
would die. We got a bed of straw and
cotton for him."
At 11 o'clock I went to the cago. Usu
ally the monkeys at night sit huddled
together, sound asleep; but this time
they wero all wide awake, sitting silent
and moveless, watching Zip's dying
agonies. Zip lay in a corner sobbing
and moaning. Jack and Pete, tho two
trick monkeys, wero at his side, Jack
and Zip's head resting on his bosom,
while Pete every now and then dipped
his paw in the milk and and wet Zip's
lips.
" But there's a strange thing about It
yet," Mr. Donohue continued; "at
midnight Zip died. Then camo what
uiy partner Hellly, and Barnum's men,
say they never saw the like of. As Zlp't
head fell limp in the arms of Jack, he
gave a little low squall, and Pete sprang
to his side. Peto looked at Zip, lifted up
one of his paws, tapped him gently on
the breast, put his ear to his heart,raised
his head, and then gave a shrill squeal.
Jack in answer dropped Zip just as
naturally as a human being would at the
first Intimation that the form he held
was dead. Pete was tho first to recover
himself. Slowly he approached Zip, ex
amined him closely, raised him in his
arms, dropped him hard on the floor of
the cage, and, as Zip didn't move, sprang
to the uppermost perch. Wasn't that
strange Y"
The reporter assented.
"Then, sir," continued Mr. Donohue,
"came the most extraordinary thing
ever witnessed in the park. The mon
keys set up the most piercing screams.
The baby monkeys pressed close to their
mothers, and the females close to the
males. All chattered and chattered, and
pointed to poor Zip. Finally Pete and
Jack, followed by all the others, sprang
to the bottom of the cage. They were
all silent now, moving slow, and in the
form of a circle they gradually came
nearer and nearer. Then hugging close,
they stopped. All night long they re
mained watching the body, and I never
saw a wake that could beat that one for
earnestness and sympathy.
A Generous Lover.
Elizabeth Hanca is a sprightly young
German girl, who, a few weeks ago left
her dear Fatherland and crossed the
broad Atlantlo to find a home in this
city. ,
While on board the ship she fell In
love with a young German, who was en
dowed with considerable of this world's
goods. Her dream of love did not last
long, however, for she had another lover
waiting for her, who had sent word to
Germany for her to come over and Join
him. On ber arrival, the lover whom
she met on the ocean wag forsaken for
her former swain, whose name is Wll
helm Edmund Schuman. An explana
tion ensued between the trio, and the
result was that Wllhelm was conceded
the right to bear off his dear little Lizzie.
The other lover, however, accompan
ied them to this city, and last week,
throwing away all fond hopes of being
united to his darling, escorted Lizzie
and Wllhel m to the Probate Court. He
explained to Clerk Rcchtln that the
twain who were with him wanted a,
marriage license, and that at once,
The demand was complied with, and
after the rejected lovei had bestowed a
blessing on the couple, left the room and
proceeded to Rev. Pohlmeyer's churcU
on Main street and McMlcken avenue,
where Wllhelm and Lizzie wero firmly
bound in those bonds "which no man
should rend asunder." Lover No. 1 did
not seem to take the matter to heart
much, for he acted as groomsman for the
happy couple, and when he found that
they were man and wife, departed, after
paying all the expenses Incurred by the
newly married couple. Cincinnati Star.
Two Types of Life In Nevada.
In the Carson "Tribune" of last
week we find this little' item : Judge F.
K. Betchel arrived on the stage this
afternoon from Bodie. He Is en route to
the scene of his boyhood days in Penn
sylvania. The Judge has resided irk
Bodie since 1802. His Implicit faith iu
the mines has been Anally rewarded.
and he returns to his Eastern home av
wealthy man. '
On Friday last a man named Carrol
ton, here in Virginia City, fifty years of
nge, blew his brains out. A day or two
previous he remarked to a friend that
he had a daughter, eighteen years of ager
to educate whom he had sent money
East; that his daughter had recently
married a gentleman there ; that they
were coming here to see them, and that
he would rather die than have his
daughter come here and find him poor.
Ho was discharged a few days since from
one of the mines ; he had drank heavi
ly for two or three duys, and on Friday
borrowed a pistol from a friend aud, bid
ding him good-by, turned around and
blew his brulna out. The cases of Betchel
and of tho suicide make between them a
pretty good history of this country. In
the Consolidated Virginia office yester
day we saw half a million dollars worth
of silver briuks,aud outside sat a beggar.
Both were types of Nevada tho latter
the more commou type. . ,
Dad's Distant nelal!on3.
A FARMER'S wagon, in w hich were
seated a family of eight, drove up
to a house on Boston street, and leaving
his team at tho curbstone, tho farmer
knocked at tho door, drummed on the
windows, and seemed determined to get
in at every harzard. When all elibrts
had failed he returned to the wagon,
hitched his horses, anil the family sat on
the grass to wait.
A lady who had watched the per
formance, passed around the corner aud
suddenly discovered tho boy whose pa.
rents lived in the house.
"Here you there's a whole family
trying to get into your house!" he
shouted.
"Hush shut up!" whispered the
other,
" But they are visitors," continued
the other.
" Don't I know all abut it Y" growled
the hiding boy; "didn't mam and I
see 'em drive up, and didn't we scoot
out of the back door as the feller came
through the gate Y I'm here and mam's
over in that house, and we feel like some
one ought to boot dad all over town."
" "Why Y What did your father do Y"
"What did he do Y Why, he was
out in the country buying poultry and
eggs, and he stopped at a farm-house,
made 'em believe he was a distant rela
shun, and got his dinner for nothing.
He came home and told it as a big joke,
and he grinned around for a week ; but
now I want to see him when he comes
up to dinner and finds them 4 relashuns7
squatted around the grate. Do they
show any sign of leaving."
" Nary a sign," replied the other, a
he climbed the fence.
"Well, let 'em stick. Maw won't
come home. I'll be gone, and If this
turns out a Black Friday for dad, it'll
serve him right. Let's get where w&
can see his knees wabble as he turns the
corner and sees his distant relashuns
covering half an acre of ground !"
A Faithful Dog's Reward.
A gentleman who lives in Vernon
county tells a remarkable story of the
sagacity of a dog which accompanied
him on his travels. While in the Short
creek timber, on his way to Joplin, the
dog jumped and caught the horse by the
bridle-rein. Mr. Ewlng drove the
animal off, but it persisted In catching
the horse by the reins, until the gentle
man concluded it must be mad. Under
the impulse of the moment he pulled
his revolver and shot the animal, which
then ran back along the road over whlcli
he had come. In a few minutes Mr.
Ewlng missed his overcoat, which had
been tied to the saddle. He turned back
to find it, and after riding about a mile,
not only found his coat, but his faithful
dog, which wag lying on the garment
dead. Jrfferton Mo.) lYibune.
