down a hook of familiar recitations, and

memory continued a blank. 1 wasterrihly
shocked. It seemed to me that I was for-

slipped out of my grasp; that this was tin*
beginning of imbecility, and that I should
wind up in a lunatic asylum. 1 rushed from j
the theatre, jumped into a hack and direct
ed the driver to take me to the office of a
doctor in whom I had the utmost confi

when enervated from the effects of a long l
spree. The fact that I could remem

“Pretty women are the pest of my lift!.”
A grizzled New York street cur conductor
made this alarming confession the other
day. “It's this way,” said he. ‘‘.Just as
soon J get a pretty woman aboard, this
ear hvpins to til; up. Two pretty women
will fill a car anyw here from the Battery
to IhcTem on two minutes’ notice People
can talk all they please about N< w York
nu n being rude to ladies; it isn't so, Why,
i fairly shudder when i get near the
«-hopping district. It doesn't make
any difference if every seat in my
car is emptv, in will skip some goorf-
iooking girl, and before I get two blocks
further on a crowd will lie standing
uj> holding on to the straps because
there is not room enough for them all to
^it down. I believe there is a regiment, of
men on Broadway who have no other pro
gramme than to climb into ears where
pretty women are. No, they are not men
who ’might he culled ‘mashers;’ they don't
sts»re anybody out of erAintenancc or show
impudence of any sort. It seems only their
object to get near a handsome woman
wit bout ever intending or hoping to at
tract the woman’s attention. It's a queer
freak, but every trip shows how sure it is
to be displayed, it would pay the street
ear companies to hire good-looking wo
men folks to ride around - -just as a bait for
passengers, you see. Every ear would be
loaded down.”

And Ik* looked it. The crimson nose, his
most striking feature, was toned down so
that little of the old flash remained. His
eyes were clear and bright, and he seemed
in every respect a new man.
AN ISLAND SINKING.
K l,nrtfc Tract in Boston llarlior Being Sub
merged.
Apple island, in Boston harbor, is famil
iar to every one who has had occasion to
go in or out of the port of Boston, says
the Boston Globe. Not many years ago it
was a large island, and what is now hats
covered at high water to a depth of several
feet was a part of the island several feet
out of water.
In 1812, during the war between Eng
land and the Hinted States, there came a
man and ids wife to dwell on the island.
Where they came from or who they were
was not known, nor could it be ascertained.
The dwellers in Winthrop, East Boston
and South Boston saw smoke curling up
from the island every day, and on going
to see the cause discovered this
man and wife and three children. They
would hold no intercourse with these visi
tors. From time to time the man visited
Boston with a small boat to purchase nec
essary supplies, and in these trips he was
always accompanied by a negro servani
who was not visible at ot her times. To
the inquiries of those with whom lie traded,
for he always seemingly had plenty of
ready cash, the man said that his name
was Marsh, but would enter into no con
versation ill regard to his antecedents or
his former place of habitation. The suspi
cions of the good people of Boston bet nine
excited, and one morning a'detachment of
marines from the American man-of-war
paid Mr. Marsh a visit and arrested him
its an English spy. For many months
he languished in jail, hut as noth
ing could ho proved against him
he was released and went
back to his island home. For years Marsh
and his wife continued to live there, and
twelve children were horn to them. In
1S3(> { one night, a bright tire was seen on
the island, and in the morning the b .iM
ings were found razed to the ground
Marsh, his wife, and the younger children
had gone and were never seen more. A
numnor ofJthe older children had mean
while married, and some of the so; s had
entered into business hen; and in the \m si.
Whatever became of the old man and ids
wife was never ascertained. The s,.,t
whore they lived is now washed aw.iv.

Bra Hbhinus, May 17. -R**ports regard-
wit bin"a i ing the effect of the long drouth are begin
ning to come in. The plains west of here
are parched and dry, and the carcasses of
thousands of cattle are to be seen in every
direction. In some localities no rain has
fallen since last September. ,J. M. Lawson
and Col. W. E. Hughes returned to-day
from a trip as far west as Old Mexico. Mr.
Dawson says from tliis side of the Pecos
over into Mexico and as far north
as Arizona it is drier than
it has been in twenty years. Of
t he 7,000,000 head of cattle in Texas one-
tldrd are in the section of the drouth,
(’attic are dying by the thousand for want
of water iiul grass. There is very little
grass anywhere near the water, and that
little is so dry and dead that it does not
contain enough substance to do the cattle
any good. Cattle are very thin and getting
thinner every day, and if there is no rain
in thirty days at the outside the cattle busi
ness in west Texas will be ruined.
The people are very gloomy over the
outlook. The drouth extends east ns far
as Big Srings. No clouds have been seen
in months. Even if it should rain now
the cattle would not get fat enough for
tlie market this year. A rough estimate
places the rate of mortality induced by
thirst and starvation at 900 head per day.
Fully 20,000 carcasses cover the plains.
'Hie stench as one passes along on the
Texas Pacific west of here is terrible.

FOOD known which leaves no after-effects, and
is without stimulant or alcohol. It is a delicious
(leverage ami will positively recover Brain and

drinks, r. stun- tin* appetite, cure Dyspepsia, give
refreshing sleep and immediate relief to any
trouble arising from nervousness. A single hot-
tie will prove it.- virtue.

Something About tl-.e Ups and Downs of
Her Inhabitants.
'(ISS III VA H AY A l.l l It.
Atlanta papers are giving the public aoinecuri-
.is and ivonderftil cases that are quite interevt-
! big. It seems a young lady of Atlanta had
been reported as dead, but it came to the ears of
the Constitution reporter that she was still a I > • o.
and being on the alert for news, called at I • r
residence to learn all the facts. Miss Dunaway,
who had been pronounced dead, said ;
“For four years rheumatism and neuralgia have
resisted physicians uiul all other treatment. My |
muscles seemed to dry up, my flesh shrank away, j
my joints were swollen, painful and large, l"**t
my appetite, was reduced to GO pounds in weight
and for months was expected to die. I com- I
menced the use of B. B. B.,and the action of one- •
half bottle convinced my friends that it would ■
cure me. Its effect was like magic. It gave me J
an appetite, gave me strength, relieved all my i
pains and aches, added tie: h to my bones, ami
when five bottles had been used I had gained f i0 I
pounds in flesh, and am to-day sound and well. |

What Mr. J. 1*. Davis, of West End, said:
“1 have only a few words to say, which are to j
state that I have been confined to my bed for two I
months with v.hat was called nervous rheum- j
at ism or sciatica. I was only enabled to hobble!
about occasionally by the use of crutches, and in J
this condition I commenced the use of B. B. B., j
four bottles of which enabled me to discard the!
use of my crutches and attend to business. I had
previously used all well recommended medicines i
without relief. It has been over one year since ;
using B. B. B., and I consider myself a perma
nently cured man.” j
I
Mr. 1C. I*. IHtlMai:. Yar<lmasl<*r lioor- j
gia Kaili-oatl.
makes a statement:
“My wife has been a great sufferer from ca- ;
tarrli. Several physicians and various patent
medicines were resorted to, yet the disease con
tinued unabated, nothing appearing to make any '
impression upon it. Her constitution Anally be-,
came implicated, the poison being in her blood. J
“I secured a bottle of B. B. B. and placed her j
upon its use,and to our surprise the improvement j
began at once, and her recovery was rapid and 1
complete. No other preparation ever produced j
such a wonderful change, and for all forms of j
blood diseases I cheerfully recommend B. B. B. as
a superior blood purifier.”
