CHAPTEIt XVTL
“PICKLES’ rARADISB. ”
Detective Gray ha<l the goo 1 luck to find
the white mare, Flight, after a long search,
but after making sure of the noble beast
he turned his attention to hunting up Iva
in vain.
Itwaslatein the afternoon ere he gave
over the search and set his faoo toward
Bilversind, tho smoko from whose chim
neys was visible in the distance.
“Too bad,’ muttered tho man with tho
keen gray eyes. “The girl may have been
rescued by someone fiora the city, or by a
relative. I will go to Bilversand and rest
there for the present. I may meet that
young scamp who sent me whirlii g in tho
Silver Miue card-room. I’d like right well
to do so. And ttis Burden Brono, who
cunningly stole my satchel, is at largo, yet
not far away. lam soon to realize my ex
pectations. and will win a cool ten thousand
for my trouble.
“I must not desert the Swayne girl; I
hate to go from the hills without her, but I
don’t think it prudent to remain all night
here, it could do no good.”
Thus soliloquized the detective as he
wound his way on an ill-defined trail
through the hills. He reached Silversond
at dork, an 1 crossed tho little bridge where
the night before he had been stricken down
by the hand of the man he had trailed from
New York.
“It was lucky forme that yon did invent
a novel machine for murder, Burden Bro
do," muttered Baffle Gray, as he rode the
white mare acroas the bridge.
“Hello, stranger! Halt there!"
Eag e Gray drew rein in the middle of
the street, where lights from the wiudows
illuminated the spot, confronted by a man
with grizzled beard and hair, clad in re
spectable garb.
“Stranger, where did you get my horse?”
“Your horse? Are you dreaming, old
man ‘ demanded the detective.
“No. Come down or I’ll make trouble
for you."
At the same time the old man displayed
a revolver. The detective did not care for
the weapon, but he saw something familiar
in the old fellow h countenance.
“You are the propri* tor of Bog Tavern?”
“I am. This mare was stolen from me
last night. ”
“By your niece, Iva?”
“Yes. Have you seen her? lam very
anxious about the child. I expect she was
induced to llee from home by a designing
villain.”
“Perhaps. I saw Iva Swayne this morn
ing, but lost track of her ”
Then the detective dismounted and stood
besi le the laudlord of Bog Tavern.
“Ah, it is th“ gentleman of the stage
coach !” exclaimed Swayne. “I remember
you now you are a detective?”
“Come,” said Eagle Gray, not heeding
the question of his companion. Let us
repair to a quiet place and we will taik the
matter over."
“You acknowledge my ownership of the
mare?"
“Certainly; the girl to’d me about it.”
Lu ius Swayne, being j n tty thoroughly
acquainted with the citv, led the way to a
house ou one of the back streets that bore
over the door the sign. “Pickles’ Para
dise!"
“Go in, sir. I will lead the horse to the
stable, and then oome round and talk with
you. Pet° Pickles keeps the quietest house
in town—l niways stop there. Tell him I
sent yon, and you’ll get the best the house
affords. ’
The detective turned the white marc over
to her owner, and puss and in through the
portals of “Pickles’ l’aradiso."
It might be a quiet place, but it was cer
tainly the dirtiest spot the detective had
yet found in the West. The ait was thick
with smoke, so thick that countenances
were unrecognizable across the room, and
the fumes of poor whisky wore almost un
bearable to a sensitive stomach.
Eagle Gray had become hardened in this
particular, however, and did not mind the
rank smell. He wondered, however, at the
landlord of Bog Tavern recommending such
a place. The fat, red-faced Pickles was
behind the low bar when the detective en
tered. Tossing a quarter on the bar Gray
called for a cigar.
He sat in one corner and puffed at the
weed and watched the faces of the men who
frequented the place—toughs and blear
eyed miners of the lowest degree.
And this was the quiet house so praised
by Lucius Swayne.
Gray sat until he had finished his weed,
a full half hour, and then he rose to his
feet and cro sed to the door.
Swayne had not yet put in au appearance,
at which the detective began to wonder.
He saw nothing of him outside, and then
he turned to tne man nenina me oar, me
great important Pickles himself.
“You Know Mr. Swayne, of Bog Tav
ern?"
“Meester Swayne?”
“Yes."
“Meester Swayne—oh vees, der drinks
fur dree.”
The detective waited while tho barkeeper
set out g asses and a black bottle for throe
men who hid shuffled up to the bar. One
of the three was an old man. poorly clad,
with the symptoms of one well under the
influence of liquor. He had one queer
eye tint persisted in rol'ing a white dot to
ward one in n most tin|ant manner.
The detective noticed tbs, and started
suddenly. Where had he seen that game
eye before? Surely he had seen it. and in
ft far different place than the present. Ah!
now he remembered, it was n a little cabin
among the hills. Ihe white of that eye
had been turned outward when the outlaw
was excited or wrathful.
Agnin Detective Cray cast a sharp glance
at tne seeming miner.
The white eye again glared at him, but it
was the rvjht eye: the defective orb iu the
head of Burden Brono was the loft one. A
coinciclPDoe, that was all. Of course this
man wai in no way conn© te<l with tin*
noted outlaw. Nevertheless the expression
of that evo had given Gray a start and
plae (1 him on Ins guard.
"M.aug *r, won't you treat a poor cub that
hid his last cent sto e by ondecent white
niggers?”
it was the miner with the game eye who
put the ques ion. llis two companions had
sauntered back to chairs at the side of the
room.
“You are unfortunate," answered the de
tective “Who robbed you?"
“Dnrned white n ggers.”
"Did you have much money?"
“A heap o i it, strang- r, all in gold. I’d
got it tog tln*r, aud was test ready to start
fur old Missouree ar er the old gal and the
bal es. when a galo t up and stole the hull
p le, and now I’m poorer u ever 1 was, that s
the solemn fact ”
Tears stood iu the old man's eyes as be
finished and his aged, stalwart, yet now
sadly h Hi form trembled with the master
ful power of his emotions.
Even the heart of the detective wws
l
touched, for Fugle Gray, In spite of his
felling, was a generous limn.
Thrusting his hand into his pocket he
drew forth several silver pieces and laid
I them in the trembling hand of the old
miner.
“There, take that and my advice with it,
which is to get out of tin* city and away
| from saloons as quickly as possible. ”
“Thankee, sir. May 1 oak your name?
I want to ’member yon in my |*rayers," nt
terad the old man effusively.
“My name is Thompson — M
“And mine's Honn< ry Harelip. I'll for
git ye no more, Mr. I hompson. ”
Then Mr. Harelip moved toward tho
door. Kagle Gniv w itch and him as though
puzzled at something in tho man's look or
voioe.
( On the thre-hold the old man turned half
round, throwing a swift glance bickward.
Thou Fugle Gray started and uttered a low
cry.
Again tho white of that eve presented
itself to the puzzled gaze of th * detective,
nnd this time the defective orb was tho left
one!
It was this discovery that caused Eagle
Gray to start forward with an astonish'd
|
When he gained the door, however, the
old man who had boon rubbed was nowhere
to be seen. A strong suspicion now held
possession of tho detective.
“It was Burden Brono I am sure of it, "
muttered Gray, as he stood outside, in tho
shadow of a veranda post, and gnzod sharp
ly up and dowu the narrow, filthy street
He had forgotten all about the non-ap
pearance of bwuyne under this new excite
ment
The detective had allowed his hand to
fall to the butt of a concealed revolver.
A touch on tho arm caused him to turn
swiftly and look into the face of one whom
he had been longing to see.
“You were right Sir. Gray, a I inn Thomp
son, quite right. The robber has made a
dupe of the groat detective.”
Something like a sneer followed the
words.
Gray drew his pistol and covored the
speaker, who was none other than his old
enemy, Wallis Wager.
CHAPTEIt XVIU
A CUFF-BUTTON.
“Don’t shoot, Eagle, ami make a fool of
yourself,” warned the young man, with tho
utmost coolness. “You and I ought to be
friends,”
The detective did not lower his revolver.
In the man before him ho r- cognized the
assassin of Samuel Fredon, and he realized
that his opportunity had come for making
sure of his man.
“Not a move, or I fire," threatened Gray.
“I will call the landlord and have you dis
armed, and then I shall take von to prison.”
“Wait. Do nothing precipitately,” re
turned Wallis Wager, quickly. “Did I not
place myself in your power voluntarily?
Do you think that looks like tho act of a
murderer? I know what you would say—
that my assault on you in the card-room of
the Silver Mine was the act of a criminal
but I can convince you to the contrary in
less than ten minutes I will only say hero
that I am a detective myself, that I am
seeking the good of one who has been
foully wronged—a girl as pure and good as
one of heaven’s inhabitants You seek
justioe, so do I, only my work is more dif
ficult than yours, and on a broader scale.
“I need your help, Mr. Gray, and havo
been looking for you during the day, and
it was a mere chance my running upon you
here. I find too many irons in the fire for
one hand to hold. Will you join me in
the hunt for triple game?”
The words of the young man seemed
honest enough, yet the detective was not
disposed to trust him. He had been fooled
once by being too credulous.
“I must take you to prison first, Wallis
Wager. You will havo an opportunity in
good time to vindicate yourself,” said the
detective, stern v.
“If you persist in this you will only make
trouble for the innocent and play into the
hands of the enemy.” asserted tho young
man. “Not ten minutes since the notorious
outlaw. Burden Brono, was in your pres
ence, and you let him slip through your
fingers; had I been with you this would
not have happened. Brono is not the only
one I seek. Ho murdered my friend Fre
don, and is a bad man, but he has been the
tool of a gre iter villain. Yon cannot for
give me for striking you down last evening.
I tell you frankly that that blow was given
to Bftve myseif from prison. I wished to
be free —"
“An innocent man would havo nothing to
fear."
“But innocence behind prisons bars is
atterly helpless to accomplish anything I
will not go to jail. I had much sooner die."
There was an honest e irnestnest about
the young man’s speech that began to tell
ou the iucr* du'ous detective.
He lowered his revolver.
People lrom the interior of Pickles’ Par
adise were flocking outside, and this was
no place to exchange confidences.
“Let ns go to a better place, young man.
I will talk th s matter over with you,” said
the detective at length.
And then the two left the vicinity of the
low tavern together. Scarcely had they
departed when a nhort, heavy figure sprang
to the porch steps and gazed ufter them.
It was Lucius Swayne.
“So!” he exclaimed, in au undertone;
“those two men are friendly. Both will
work against me now, for, if 1 am not mis
taken, that young scamp knows the story
of the past, and ho will make a confidant
of E.igie Gray, the detective. So let it be.
I shall meet them half way, they can rest
assured of that. I have two enemies to
overcome now who are dangerous to my
future well-being. 1 am Borrv that tlrs
thing has come to such a pass, but the
men who are on my track, hoping to hound
me to the gallows, will find that 1 am not
so green as they imagine."
Lucias Swayne then entered Paradise,
quaffed a g’ass of liquor, and then went
once more out into tho night.
“The game is never out until it’s played
out," muttered tho inuk eper as he moved
swiftly down the street.
It was under tho roof of the pretentious
Silver Mine that the detective and Wallis
Wager found a room to themselves where
they could converse without being dis
turbed.
“1 am convinced that I can trust you,
Mr. Gray,” said the young man, as he sat
down facing the Now York detective.
Eagle Gray only nodded in reply.
“You came to tho West in search of this
Burden Brono, I think you once informed
me. I know you by reputation, since lam
from New York also. It was through a
friend of mine, tho old man who was mur
dered at Bog Tavern, that I learned of this
Brono and of his crimes. Not being a
professional detective, it is not likely that
1 sh u!d have followed so many hundred
miles on his trail had it not been for the
fact that I believed ho could give me most
importst t information regarding one who
was rightfully entitled to an immense prop
erty that I have been holding iu trust for
years.
“Perhaps it is too long a story to tell, yet
I am convinced that you ou ;ht to know it,
so that you can act t .tel ligently. A million
: is involved in the case, and you shall bo
j amply rewarded if you assist me to accow
i plish the work I have marked out"
‘ You may depend on me.”
; “And vou will hear tho story?"
“I will.”
Bending forward, with one hand resting
on the detective's knee, Wallis Wager be
gan, and talked on and on, in low, yet
earnest tones, and when at length ho came
to a full stop an hour had passed since they
entered the room.
“\ou astound me," were the first words
uttered by Detective Gray when his youug
companion had c asrd his narration.
| “1 have seen this girl Edna. She is Iva
Swayne now, and she fled from home last
night to esoape the persecutions of her un
cle and cousin. ”
Gray then gave a full accor.nt of his ad
venture In the hills.
"And that child is lost among the hills.
Sh' 1 wi.l surely perish. Gray, this is bad.”
"Admitted.”
“You will stand by me and help me
fathom the mysteries, and bring the wicked
io juste e aud this wio :gc and child into her
| rights.'”
■ I Will.
1 Bath men came to th“ir feet, clasped
lands, and regarded one another in solemn
lilencefor some seconds.
"J trust you fully now, Wager. Burden
Brono is in the city and it st ems that we
>ught to capture him before he makes his
acupe.”
" We will try it.”
And then the two left the room and went
oelow. Detective Gray went uj on the
itre t, while Wallis haunted the card-room.
So discoveries were made that night, nor
for several days thereafter.
Wallis and Gray, in disguise, visited
ivery den in the city, ami afterward
learched the hills iu the vicinity without
neeftng sf ecess. riven old hwayua hag

The detective finally arrived at the con*

I do not imagine harm will come to the

“To-morrow I will do *o.” returned Wal

from th" room, but I concluded that it
must be Brono. You see, 1 was awakened
home time about midnight by a noise in the
room.
“It seemed to proceed from my com
panion's bed. I bad lain down without re
moving mv clothes, and the womeut the
sound reached my ear 1 sprang up. Aa I
did so a man was passing swiftly through
the open window to the roof of the veran
di, where the rain and wiud made a pande
monium of sound.
I (lashed at him. but he escaped by slip
ping from the roof to the ground. A
lightning flash revealed him as ho disap
peared, nnd the same gleam revealed some
thing just within the window that had evi
dently been torn loose as he graspedtoiave
himself from slipping off iho v* rauda roof.
I secured it; it proved to be a gold cuff
button with a peculiar setting. I preserved
the button, believii g tint it might load to
the discovory of the assassin.’’
Th young man paused ii Ids explana
tion and drew a wallet from an inner
I ockct. From this ho brought forth a
glittering bit of jewelry. The latter held
it up to the light, and the moment ho viewed
tin* button lie uttered au exclamation.
It was i de*d a curious design a tiger's
head encircled by the coil of a serpent
Quickly reversing the button, Detective
Gray uttered the low cry noted above.
“What now. Eagle?”
“I’ve seen this article before. Look
there. ”
Eagle Gray pointed to the inuer surface
win ro Wallis Wager saw two letters, E and
G engraved.
“My initials, boy,” cried the detective in
a thrilling voice. “I lost the buttons one
year ago while in Y onkers near New York.
Some thief took them from my room, and
that thief it is likely is tho man wo need for
the murder of your old friend.”
“Good gracious! but it is straige that
they should turn up two thousand miles
from the spot where you lost them. Do
von imigine that it was Burden Brono
who took them?"
"I cannot say. We must fiud its limte;
/An/will determine tho case.”
Before Wallis Wager could speak again
a tremendous crash came to their ears from
below. Then came the sharp report of a
pistol, followed by veils, and a loud cry
th it rang high above all others:
“Murder!"
This was the startling import of the cry.

CBESE OF MONTANA.
A Millionaire King and Hl* Re
markable Marriage—A Western
Kerept ion.
A correspondent writing from Helena
Montana, says: I saw the pale, anxious
face and flowing gray 1 ward of Mon
tana’s Bonanza King, Thomas Cruse, as
lie sat behind a pair of stylish bays, en
joying the fresh spring, air out in tlie
valley this morning. They say that the
old gentleman is not the same since the
death of his wife, a few months ago. It
was a sail ending to the dream which
must have possessed her young mind
only a short year ago, as sin* stood be
neath an archway of exotic flowers and
went through the tedious monotony of
the wedding reception, which lasted
from 9:30 in the morning until 6 o’clock
in the evening. I say it must have been
a sad ending to a dream, for I am t-old
that the young bride really loved the old
gentleman, and that the a flection was
mutual; that they met in some way
through tho visits of Cruse to her
brother, Mr. T. H. Carter, with whom
the millionaire king had business trans
actions, and that Miss Carter admitted
the unobtrusive worth and candor of
the old gentleman, while he in turn de
lighted in her sound sense and woman
ly qualities. And so they were mar
ried.
That was a gala day in Helena. The
courts adjourned, many business houses
closed up and everybody took advantage
of the lavish generosity which Cruse had
desired should be extended to all. When
the hour for the wedding ceremony ar
rived the esplanade in front of the
Catholic Hill terrace was crowded with
coaches and carriages, and there was not
a vacant space in the new cathedral
where one might stand to get a view of
the rich robes and vestments of the
officiating clergy. It is said that during
the ceremony Cruse put a check for
000 into the hands of Bishop Brondel.
After the wedding the entire party took
carriages to the Cosmopolitan Hotel,
whieli had been chartered for the day,
and there in the spacious dining hall,
which was gayly decked with flowers
and evergreens, the reception took
place.
There have been weddings that were
rich in all that goes to make up fashion
and beauty, notable for the high stand
ing of the contracting parties, and at
which intellect and culture vied with
each other to see which should do most
honor to the occasion ; but there never
was, perhaps, a wedding at which the
elite commingled with the proletariat as
they did on this occasion; at which fash
ion beheld the never-ceasing gaze of
vulgarity, and the splendors of wealth
and the refinements of culture were in
termingled with the rough and un
chastened element of a mountain city.
The reception was indeed an omnium
gatherum. The mistress and the main
were there, the former in ilks and satin?
and the latter prinked in ilie height ol
plebeian finery. Even the polished fact
and matted queue of the Chinese mer
chant prince was there, too, lending tht
novelty of his Oriental costume to the
already mosaic-like effect of the dazzling
spectacle.
Wine flowed like water. The bar was
free to whoever choose lo ask for drink.
In the cloak-rooms and at every corner
of the apartments set off for the ladies,
were waiting-maids who stood in readi
ness to obey the behests of the different
guests. In the gentlemen’s parlor stood
two dusky seneschals behind great large
decanters, pouring out the water of life
as fast as the thirsty devotees held the
beakers. The tables were loaded with
the choicest viands and dainties and
with the luscious fruit of the cornuco
pia. Jardinieres of rare plants, which
were laden with the perfumed breath of
the orange-lily and the honeysuckle,
ranged on either side of the dining-hall,
while the walls were ornamented with
rare and costly bric-a-brac. Coaches
and hacks conveyed the guests free of
charge to and from their homes, and
everything that was m'cessary to the
comfort and convenience of even the
most inconsiderable was provided. The
expense of the reception alone was $15,-
000. With the exception of a beautiful
reliquary, containing a necklace of mag
nifleent diamonds, presented bv Cruse
to his bride, the wedding was devoid of
gifts of anv kind, the groom having ex
pressly stated it was his wish that no
one should, either voluntarily or reluct
antly, he put to any expense on account
of his nuptials. It was estimated that
6,000 people, or three-fifths of the grown
population of Helena, attended the re
ception,

An earthquake occurred at Tucson,

Many clocks were stopped and the entire

as though it were toppling over. When
the shock strnck Santa Cathalina moun

torn from its side and thrown to its base.
Vast clouds of dust arose above its crest,
7,000 feet above the sea level, at three
different points, from three to four miles
apart.
A volcano broke out at a point twenty -
two miles south of Tucson, in Total

on the border of Sonora, Mexico, south
west of Tucson.
A severe shock was felt at Wilcox
The vibrations were from north to south

Ten miles from Tombstone, a lake cov

WILLING TO MARRY ALL.
Ilf Claimed to Have 100 Wive*.
A handsomely dressed young man
boarded an elevated train in New York
recently. As soon as it pulled out from
the station he began wandering from car
to car, looking at every lady with such
closo scrutiny that some of them became
incensed and complained to the guards.
\V hen he reached the last car he turned
and was about to return, when a guard
told him him he was drunk, and if he
did not sit down and behave he would be
put off at the next station The young
man sat down, but as soon as the con
ductor left the car he arose aud addressed
the crowd, saying:
“That man has accused me of being
drunk and I wish to deny the allegation
I am a member of the church and a teeto.
taller. I neither smoke nor chew. I have
but one weakness, and that is an inor
dinate for the beautiful. I consider wo
men the most beautiful things on earth.
I adore them all and would like to man y
them all. If there is any lady in the car
who will have me I will get off at the
next station and make her my wife.”
By the time the young man had finish
ed the people in the car had concluded
he was crazy aud a general rush was
made for the forward cars. On being
questioned he said his name was Walla e
and he lived iu West Thirty-fourth
street. Ho claimed he had 100 wives
and was getting new ones every day. An
officer took him home.

Hlntrulnr On- of I.os* of Identltj
and My.HTli.u, Restoration.
NoHitTSTowH., Pa.—A moat ramarks
bln ruin' of loan of identity, recalling the
story of Griffith Gaunt, in ugitntiug an
oiotv riming here. Nmgeon-Geueral
li, \V. Head wuh called in, und wyn tho
eimo i tho moot peeilliur iu his wile
rant’* of experience.
Six weekti ago u fit Hinge gentleman of
good add retro eumtt here and rented a
Ktore on Kant Main street. Ho divided
tho room into two apartment* l>y mean,
of curtain*. The roar he fumis'ied und
occupied n* a living room ; the front ho
stocked with notuuiH and toy* and did a
modest but successful business. Tho
family from whom lie rented the store
caiiio in daily contact with their tenant,
but neither they nor any of ids patrons
ever noticed anything peculiar in his
manner or habits, 11c visited Phila
delphia several timer, replenished his
stoek und conducted his business care-
fully.
N*o mental obliquity was noticed until
yesterdny morning, when ho knocked at
the door leading from tlm store to the
dwelling part of the building. Mrs.
Earl, who answered tho knock, was sur
prised to hear him ask “ Where am I ("
She tried to convince him of his where
abouts, but fniling her husband came to
her assistance. To him the tenaut made
the following statement: “ I awoke
about four o'clock this morning after
dreaming that I was buying nnd soiling
merchandise, I discovered that 1 was
in a store, and was seized with the fear
that I would be arrested ns n burglar.
Now I want to know where I am.” He
could not be made to believe that ho
was in Norristown, or that he visited
Philadelphia recently. He only answer
ed : ‘‘l was in Philadelphia twenty
eight years ago, but not since that
time.”
Dr. Read was then summoned, nil 1 to
him the stronger made tho following
statement : “Doctor, I have just awak
ened from n confused dream. I am in
formed that I am in Norristown, Penn
sylvania, and that this is the 14th ol
March. If this is true the past two
months have been nn entire blank to
me. Yesterday I left my home in
Coventry, Rhode Island. Rut that was
the morning of January 18. I drove to
Green’s Station on tho New England
Railroad, left my horse ami carriage in
charge of a friend, went to Providence,
drew $550 from the bank, called at sev
oral places, including tlio store of mv
nephew, Andrew Harris, Nn. 121 Broad
street, opposite the Nurragnnset Hotel,
and left there to go to my sister’s resi
dence on Westminister Street. I have
a distinct recollect ion of having passed
the Adams Express office, comer of
Dorrance and Broad streets, but have no
recollection of a single event .since that
time. I am a minister of tho Gospel,
my name is Ansel Bourne and I nm
sixty-one years of age.”
Dr. Read left him in the care of Mr.
Earl's family; with instructions to par
take copiously of food. He then tele
graphed Andrew Harris : “Do you
know Ansel Bourne? Please answer,”
and received the following reply : “He
is my uncle. Wire me where ho is and
if well. Write particulars.”
Mr. Bourne is rapidly regaining liis
faculties, and is anxiously awaiting tho
arrival of relatives, when fie will dispose
of his stock of notions and toys and re
turn home. He is a man of good address,
fine appearance and au interesting
talker.
Dr. Read is completely mystified thus
far and will venture no opinion on the
case.
MRS. TILTON’S PENSION.
AN AGED CENTENARIAN, THE WIDOW OP
A REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIER.
The sole surviving representative of
the Revolutionary War, us recognized
by the government, is Abigail S. Tilton,
of North Wood bridge, Rockingham
County, N. H. Out of the army of
persons who are entitled to pensions she
is the only one who receives such as the
wife of a soldier of the Revolution.
Mrs. Tilton is the widow of Benjamin
Stevens, who, according to the musty
records of the office, participated in the
battle of Bennington as a member of
Captain McConnell’s company, under
the command of Geueral Stark. Mrs.
Tilton is now a trifle more than one
hundred years old. She was married a
second time in 1831, but was divorced
and resumed her maiden name.
Her second marriage in validated her
right to a pension as the widow of Benj
amin Stevens, but the State of New
Hampshire subsequently granted her an
allowance of s'2 a week for the remain
der of her natura 1 life. About eight
years jv'< Congress further increased
this by tiie addition of sl6 a month, to
be paid to her us u special revolutionary
pension, it having been alleged that she
was “houseless, homeless ami childless.
The old lady is represented as enjoying
excellent health and in the full, posses
sion of all her mental and physical lac
ulties. Until a year ago three other
relics of Revolutionary heirs drew sim
ilar pensions through the Knoxville
agency. But they have all died within
the past twelve months and Mrs. Tilton
is now the only link that is left connect
ing the government of to-day with the
stormy scenes of 177 C.
Something Better*
•‘You did not seem to welcome the at
tentions of Lord Loweollar at the party
last evening, Jennie,” said an ambitious
mother t-> her daughter. “What, were
you thinking about to ignore him for
the plain young man in the toothpick
shoes ? ”
“Lord Lowcallar is as poor as a church
mouse.”
“But he lias a title* that’s something.”
“I prefer money. It seems you don’t
know the young man in the toothpick
shoes, as you call him.”
“No, I don’t. Who is he?”
“He is the right fielder in the Carry
all-before-’em Club.”
“Oh? if that is the case, you did well.
After all, a princely income is better than
a title.”
It Startled Him.
He was a clerk in a shoe store but
rather new to the business When a
pretty girl tripped in and asked for shoes
lie inquired politely:
“What number do you wear?”
“Why, two of course,’’she snapped;
“how many feet do you suppose 1 have?”
“I-I-ment what size?” he stammered.
“Oh! size three’ and I)- wide,” she re
sponded carelessly.
He fainted before a brother clerk could
explain that the width of shoes was reg
ulated afphabetically, and no profanity
was intended.
Uncle Sam should postpone the Ca
ll :dian war of conquest for a few years

Worth (mixlclerlng
Apprehemdon Ims beou expiesscd that
the South, in the mattor of industrial
development, is moving rather too fast,
nf the vigor and vehemcncoof the move
nieiit in that quarter there can lie no
doubt. Outside of this continent it has
no precedent iu the modern history; but
if h is nearly always happened, even here,
that a tremendous boom of this kind lias
hem followed by a reaction which
wrecked many a fortune und many a
promising enterprise; and prudent men
not unnaturally ask whether this South
ern movement is not likely to proceed
beyond the lines of hcslthfulness and
safety. The question is well worth con
sidering, for Northern capital is now
pouring into Iho region in great quanti
ties, and the South is staking everything
on the success of its various enterprises.
Of course, it is clearly impossible to elim
inate the clement of speculation from a re
gion where industries nro being cr. nted,
expanded and pushed forward with so
much force; hut it is nenrly certuin that
purely speculative enterprises arc only a
small production of the whole number
now engaging the attention of the South
erners. The boom in tho South is attri
buted almost solely to tho development
of the natural resources of tho States,
and therefore it received its impetus from
an actual and large increase of wealth.
There is unusual activity because there
is nu unprecedented creation of wealth
from the soil.— Ihltimore Record.
A Famous Detective.
James Jackson, the famous State detec
tive, resides in Sing Sing, and is generally
in attendance at the prison. His duties
are to examine carefully the face of every
convict a< he enters, and to scrutinize
every visitor in order to prevent any dis
charged convict from seeing his pals.
Occasionally lie lias to make long jour
neys in pursuit of runaway prisoners or to
identify criminals convicted in other
States. He never makes a mistake; if
oacc lie looks a man in the eye he will
know him under any disguise, as he tells
his man by flic lev kof Ills eyes. Once an
escaped convict had his nose pared
down one third, but Jackson detected
him at once, notwithstanding this remark
able change of feature. Mr. Jackson
is about 5 feet 8 inches in height, about
Bf> years old, of a light and sinewy build,
with black hair and piercing black eyes,
and is altogether remarkably handsome.
He knows about 10,000 criminals, and it
is simply wonderful that he can distin
guish the features of every one. On his
long journeys lie eats very moderately
and always takes one Brandreth pill at
night. When much fat igued by the jolt
ing of the cars on his tiresome trips he
uses two Allcock’s Porous Plasters on
the small of the back, which give him
renewed vigor and quickly relieve him
of all weariness. These are the only two
remedies he uses, and he attributes his
vigor and remarkable health to Allcock's
Porous Plasters and Brandreth’s Pills. —

weak, watery, and inflamed; there is ringing
in the ears, ‘deafness, hacking or coughing to
clear the throat, expectoration of offensive
matter, together with scat* from ulcers; the
voice is changed and has ft nasal twang; the
breath is offensive; smell and taste are Im
paired; there is a sensation of dizziness, with
mental depression, a hacking cough and gen
eral debility. Only a few of the above-named
symptoms are likely to be present in anyone
case. Thousands of cases annually, without
manifesting half of the above symptoms, re
sult in consumption, and end in the grave.
No disease is so common, more deceptive and
dangerous, or less understood by physicians.

Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy cures the worst
cases of Catarrh, “cold In the head,”
(oryza, and Catarrhal Headache.

“Imold Agony from Catarrh.”
Prof. W. lIACSNER, the famous mesmerist,
of Ithaca , X. Y ., writes: “Some ten years ago
1 suffered untold agony from chronic nasal
catarrh. My family physician gave me up as
incurable, and said l must die. My case was
such a bad one, that every day, towards sun
set, my voice would become so “hoarse I could
barely speak above a whisper. In the morning
my coughing ami clearing of my throat would
almost strangle me. By the use of Dr. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy, in three months, I was a well
man, and the cure has been permanent."
“Constantly Hawking and Spitting.”
Thomas J. Hushino. Esq., Pine Street,
St. Louis , Mo., writes: “ I was a great sufferer
from catarrh for three years. At times I could
hardly breathe, and was constantly hawking
nnd spitting, and for tho last eight months
could not breathe through tho nostrils. I
thought nothing could be done forme. Luck
ily, I was advised o try I)r. Sage’s Catarrh
Remedy, nnd I an now a well man. I believe
it to be the only euro remedy for catarrh now
manufactured, and one has only to give it a
fair trial to experience astounding results aad
a permanent euro."
Three Hollies Cure Catarrh.
Eli Robbins, Runyan P. 0* Columbia Cos.,
Pa., says: “My daughter had catarrh when
she wus live years old, very badly. I saw Dr.
Sage’s Catarrh Remedy advertised, and pro
cured a bottle for her, and soon saw that It
helped her; a third bottle effected n perma
nent cure. She is now eighteen years old and
sound and hearty.”
