The proprietor of th s celebrat'd medicine justly
claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offer
ed to the puollc for the safe, certain, tt/ieedu and per
manent cure of Agu» and Kever .or Chilis and Fever
whether of short or h-ng standing. He refers to the
entire Western and Southwestern country to bear him
testimony to the truth of the assertion, that in no case
w ha lever will tt. fail to cure, if the directions are strict
ly followed and cft' ried out. In a great many cases a
sing'e dose has been sufficient Tor a cure, and whole
families have been cured by a single bottle, with a per
fect restoration of the general health. It is, however,
prudent, and in every case more certain to cure If its
use is continued in smaller doses fora week or two af
ter the disease has been checked, more especially in
difficult and long standing cases. Usually, this inedi
cine will not require a y aid to keep the bowels in
good order; should the patient, however, require a
cathartic medicine, after having taken three or four
doses of tbs Tonic, a single dose of BULLA VEGETA

know of no remedy recommended by the ablest authors
that is so certain and speedy in Its effects. On the con

in writing you is t.o find out upon what terms I can
get the medicine directly from you. If I can get it
upon easy terms, I shall use a great deal of it. lan
aware that the use of such articles is contrary to the
teachings and practice of n great majority of the rej
ulur line of At. D.’e, but I see no just cause or good
senre in discarding a remedy which we know to be ef
ficient, simply because we may be ignorant of its com
bination. Por my part, I shall make it a rule to use all
and any means to alleviate suffering hum inity which
I may be able to command—not hesitating because
someone more ingenious than myself may have lewrr.-
and Its effects first, and secured the sole right tc. secure

i Sight’* liuu Hilh wolves.
BY i. M. WATSON.
Thirty years ago, Couucil Bluff, Ar
kansas, now a city of many inhabitants,
was comprised of half a dozen log
houses, a blacksmith's forge, and a
shebang, or whiskey house, dignified
with the title of tavern, where a half
dime would purchase as much of the
raw fluid as any strong man would
dare swallow, or a dime would give
him the addition of corn bread and a
shakedown of straw, for it was always
presumable that the guests at this ho
tel brought their own bed-clothes, in
the shape of a good Mackinaw blank
et.
It was my Uuk, at about the time I
mention, to be landed on this Heaven
forsaken spot, from the good steamer
Julia Choteau, in the service of the
American For Company—all old St.
Louis citizens will remember her v\-ell,
as they will remember the beautiful
lady she was named after. I was
bound far Prairie du Cliien, with
knick-knacks for the comfort of both
trapper and Indian.
The breed of hunters and trappers
that one then found at the West, has,
I think, passe l away—the man of iron
frame, who knew nothing of the mean- 1
ing of fear, and lived utmost as near
nature, as the animals lie hunted; who
made his bed wherever the night hap
pened to catch him; who had but one
love, his good rifle, and never let that
away from the length of his arm.
'.I here were a few of that kind with
us that would accompany the train
that was to carry us and our goods to i
the station, and that night, as we sat
about the stout tire that blazed and
roared up the stone chimney of the ,
tavern, the conversation naturally;
turned on hunting scrapes, of which i
most of the party had earned experi
ence. At last one of them said to me:
“I say, Cap (short for Captain) Jim
Horne, hex - e, has got anew game.”
‘•What is it, Horne T I abked.
“O, git out, Cap’ll,” answered Horne, i
squirming about on his bench, “taiu’t
nothin’. Bill’s only tryin’ to stuff ye.”
“Why don’t ye tell Cap, anyhow?’'
says i ill, rather crossly; “the thing’s
nat’ral, Jim, an’ perhaps, he’d like to
take a hand.”
I asked Horne again for an explaua- !
tion, and got it in this wise:
“Whj, Caph, you see I’ve got a little
sell on wolves. The pesky varmints
are so thick abouten liar, that they
aeshally come right up to < hi3 very j
door, sometimes, o’nights. Their tar- !
nal pelts ain’t wuth much, but when
you kin git ’em in heap without much
risk, why they’rs wuth suthing. So
some of us boys, while we was waitin’
for the train to git ready, jist got up
a moonlight excursion on ’em. Wo
get out a span of purty smart kind of
ponies, and take that strong sled
that’s under the shed yander, and
make a cut across that bit of woods
over thar,” pointing with his finger
westward, “with a pig in tow.”
“A pig in tow!” I said. “What’s
that?”
“Why, we just took a pig out of
Brownson’s stable and hitch it behind
the sled. One drives, t’other makes
the pig squeal, and the rest shoot.—
Last time wo lost the pork. A rousin’
old cuss grabbed it right under our no
ses, an’ that don’t pay, no how.”
There was something original in
this, and I thought right away that I
would like to try it, though really not
understanding it. I said so to Horne.
“l)o you think you can stand it,
Cap’n ?”
My pride was up directly.
“Stand it 1” I said; “I guess I’m as
able to stand it as you are! ”
“Mebbe bo,” drawled Home. “Wall,
I don’t see any reason we mayn’t go
out to night. The moon’ll be up in
about an hour. Guess Brownson’ll
let us have a pork. Collate he will if
lie knows the Cap’ll wants it.”
“Yes,” I said; “tell him I'll pay for
it.”
In an hour the moon had risen, and
j the sled was at the door with two fine,
!’stout mustangs hitched to it. The
! snow was in elegant order, hard crip,
almost like ice, and the route that we
I were to take was a clearing about thir-
I ty feet wide, right through the forest
for two or three miles, made by the
loggers in getting out timber to run
' down the river. The pig was produc
ed, and, until he was muzzled, showed
i himself an excellent squealer, so much
; so that I was afraid he would bring
1 the “pesky varmints,” as Horne called
them, on us before the time.
Fifteen minutes put us well inside
the wood, but the moon shone so bright
and the reflection was so strong on
the snow, that we had more difficulty
in seeing every object than at noon
day- The pig was unmuzzled and
: began to squeal. Our party consisted
of Horne and myself, Bill Waller, the
first communicant of the idea to me,
! Brownson’s boy, to make the pigsqueal,
1 and a tall, cast-iron, half-breed, whom
| we only knew by the name of Bob. —
i Waller was to drive; Horne, myself
| and Bob were to do the shooting.
My eyes were everywhere, and I
1 caught sight of the first Wolf. He
! was well in among the trees, not ap
proaching us, but with his long, strid
ing gallop keeping pace with us. In a
few minutes he was joined by another,
and almost before we could mark them,
they began to close upon us in dozens,
rising, as it were out of the very ground.
Above the squeal of the pig, Horne
shouted for me to reserve my fire. —
I confess that I turned an uneasy
I glance at Waller, as the beasts closed
j in upon us, for the horses were getting
restive and uneasy, and every now
and then, the sled would strike a
stump that would make it quiver all
over. I knew that in his hands were
our lives, and that an upset —and the
t chances were that the morning would
show nothing but some of our larger
bones; the smaller ones, with the rest
!of our mortal frame? would be in the
stomachs of the pack traveling after
us.
At la st, and it seemed hours where
it was only minutes, Horne gave the
word to tire. The foremost were with
in a dozen feet of us, and three went
down. The shot was like firing into a
tlock of birds; with the clearing away
of the smoke, half the pack was gone,
and the others on their path. They
did not hesitate long, but in three
minutes had swelled to treble their
original number. Their long hai king
ing howl was heard on every side, and
above it, .occasionally, I could hear
\ aller speaking soothingly to his
horses, who were marly mad with ter
ror.
Now begin the slaughter, and every
shot seemed to te 1, but yet the pack
grew larger, their long noses almost
touching the sled at times, and their
red eyes, dull and steady, gl tred into
our very faces. At one time they s< em
ed to spread like a Cteseut behind us,
at another they trailed in a long line,
and as quickly changed, until they
were on every side, some times even up
with the horses. At this moment, as
they began to stretch ahead of the sled,
I heard Horne, as though speaking to
himself, sav:
“By gracious! I never seed so many
of the critters before.”
I thought at that moment wlmt
would become of us if one of our hots
es were to fail, or any accident happen
that would stop our progress. We j
would not have time to take to a tree, j
and we were a little more than half
way through the wood. I leaned over
to Waller, and asked him: •
“Do you want any help?”
“For God’s sake! stop that pig’s
squealing! Throw it over, and stop i
firing.
We obeyed him, and saw piggy rent
into a dozen pieces,,before vve hud gone
a dozen yards. This gave us a min
ute or two start, while they were set
tling the distribution of pork, relieving '
the horses from the immediate fright
and danger, and letting Waller gather
them a little; but the crowd was on us
again. They had tasted blood. Horne
whispered, and were more dangerous
than before.
“Don’t shoot, Cap'll,” lie said, “until
the critters get right up with the po
nies, or try to get into the sled.”
I did as he said, but we had our
hands full, including Brovvnson’s boy,
in keeping them from leaping into the
very sled, or closing up on the horses,
Horne and I detailing ourselves for the
latter job.
At last we saw the opening about
half a mile aw ty, and I think the
wolves saw it also, and felt that vve
would escape, for they came upon us
with increased numbers, snapping at
the wood of the sled, and at the haunch
es of the terrified horses. We were
fairly skimming over the snow, and
within a hundred yards of the opening,
when one huge fellow sprang right
into the sled, knocking mo backward,
and, I believe, but for Horne’s quick
grasp, I should have been out, and
among the pack. That clutch and
scramble, the blows, of which I came
in for a share, the skilful use of Bob’s
bowie, and the dying struggles of the
animal, as I held him down, while Bob
hacked away for his heart, I shall never
forget. That struggle brought us out
on the opening, where a few only fol
lowed, and paid for their termerity with
their lives.
Our horses ran nearly a mile before
we could calm them, and during that
time not a word was spoken. Waller
was the first to break the silence, and
he said:
“Well, blast my pictur’, Jim Horne,
if you get me out on any more of your
inventions!”
Don’t kal’late to come myself, much
more,” said Horne, coolly, stowing a
wad of tobacco into his cheek. “Cap’n,
you’ll hev that pork to pay for, but I
gue s ’twas cheap thrown away.”
I thought so too, but wasn’t going to
say that I had been frightened, although
inwardly I didn’t condemn Horne’s
proposition not to come “much more ”
Wo made a wide sweep through the
: open country, giving tlia wood a full
margin, and got home as fast as the
horses were willing, which was at an
uncommon good pace, for even at the
distance of a couple of miles vve would
hear the howling brutes vve had left
! behind us.
The next morning we went over the
route to see what execution we had
done, and Horne and the party took
fifty skins, after rejecting many that
were torn or otherwise of no value;
twice as man} as he had ever got before,
; and yet he concluded that the “excurs
ion” didn’t pay.
As to myself, I determined not to let
any more wolves chase me, and if I had
any money to invest in pork, not to do
| it in this way.
Getting Married in New Jersey. —A
contributor to the New York World re
lates tlio following:
Au odd-looking fellow was pointed
out to me the other morning oil the
cars of the Northern Railroad of New
Jersey, of whom a laughable anecdote
was related. He was said to be a
crotchety, snappish, peevish, old justice
of the peace; but I couldn’t learn
whether he was from Passacak, Kak
iak, Paddiwhak, or Padicak or any of
the similar sounding-named Dutch set
tlements along the line of that pleasant
railway.
One day the old ’Squire was called
upon by a bashful country couple who
toid him they wanted him to marry
them right away,’ After Vicing scatc and,
he kept on writing, saving, ‘l’m al
mighty bussy, so you must excuse my
talking; but the women folks will be in
by and-bv.’
‘Well, ’’Squire,’ said the rustic lover,
Sve won’t detain you a minute; we come
to make a declaration of marriage and
to be spliced.’
‘Oh, going to be married, eh ? That’s
right; marry in a hurry, and repent
when you have time. "Very fond of
each other now, 1 s’pose; quarrel like
the devil by-and-by. Hern ! what cus
sed so Is some ibiks is!’
He never said another word, but
wrote on, and did not even look up;
and shore the ardent couple sat, look
inglike a pair of tools; for they know
they couldn’t move him to go one inch
the faster than he chose, and that lie
would have his own wn\, at any rate.
So they lotoked at each other and shook
their heads, and then looked down,
playing with their thumbs; then they
scratched their heads, and looked out
of the window, and counted all the
rails in the fence and all the hens in
the yard, and watched a man plowing
a lot, going first up and then down the
ridge; then ho coughed, and she cough
ed, to attract the ’Squire’s attention,
and make him attend to their busi
ness.
But nothing would do, he wrote and
wrote, and never stopped, nor looked
up, nor looked around, nor said a word!
Then the girl glanced over to the
‘ (Squire,’ made faces, winked and nod
ded, and contrived motions to her lov
er to go to him, but ho frowned, and
shook his head, as much as to say, T
daren’t do it, dear;- I wish you would!’
At last she got ‘real nervous,’ and
began to cry, out of dear spite; and
that brought the young fellow’s dauder
up. So he got off of Ins seat, spunk
ed up t.» the cross oid ’Squire, and.
said:
‘Look o’ here, ’Squire, tell you what, ;
we come here to get married; if you
are gniu to do the job, well and good;
if you ain’t, sav so, and ue v ill git some
body else that kin 1’
‘What job V asked the Squire with |
assumed surprise.
‘Why, to marry us in course.’
‘Marry you !’ exclaimed the Squire.
‘Why, tl—n you, you was married an
hour and a half ago, man! What are
you talking about ? I thought you
was going to spend the night here, or
else had got sick of your bargain ’
And than he sat back in his chair,
and laughed ready to split his sides.—
‘What the devil have you been waiting
for all this time ?’ said he; ‘don’t you
know that making the declaration you
did bo fore me is all that is necessary ?’
(The old curmudgeon had been de
ceived in part by a recent legal decision
in an adjoining State). ‘But come;
let’s take a glass of apple-jack. Here’s
to your good health.’
JSsSY~ The abilifcyof the female tongue

millions in her own right untJ after
their marriage.

Senator Morton, the orator of the
day, in speaking of Cuba, says: ‘‘She
is making a bold, vigorous, mid, as we
trust, a successful effort to throw off
the Spanish yoke and establish her
independence.” He also said: “In the
fields before us are the graves of the
rebel dead, now sunk to the level of
the plain, unmarked, unhonored, and
unknown. They were our country
men, of our blood, language and histo
ry. They displayed a courage worthy
of their country and of a better cause,
and we drop a tear to their memory.
The news of this fatal field carried ag
ony to thousands of Southern homes,
and the wail of despair was heard in
the everglades and orange-groves of
the South.”
Amusing Incident. —.An amusing in
cident occurred at a flourishing drug
store in the city, a few days ago, which
is too gcod to be lost. A forty-cent
revenue stamp having been placed on
a keg of spirits, the gum brush was
passed over it as usual, to make it ad
here more closely. Just at this mo
ment a worthy old gentleman came
in and sat down upon the keg, remain
ing there a few minutes in conversa
tion. After he had left, the stamp
was discoveril to be missing and one
of the proprietors started in pursuit,
as a forty cent stamp was worth a
short walk. His surmise was iit»ht,
and it was the old gentlemen and not
the spirits who was stamped. “War
ranted ninety-per cent, proef.” He
freefy gave it up, however, ns he had
no use for it, and the stamp was put
on the keg to stay. -(Sav. Adv’r.

Hard on the Minister. —A minister
was traveling in the back ,voods, and,
espying a cabin, entered on a mission
of mercy. The lady of the house (she
being present alone and rightly judg
ing his errand) when she saw him ap
proaching, seized the bible, and as he
entered was to all intents busily en
gaged in perusing the volume. He
noticed, however, that she held the let
ters reversed, or in other words up side
down. After the usual courtesies the
minister inquired what she wus read
ing.
‘•Oh, ’bout tho old prophets, ’ was
the evident 1)' satisfactory reply.
“It is very edifying to read the suffer
ings of Christ,” said the minister.
“And so that good man is dead, is
he ?” asked the matron, evidently get
ting interested.

“Well, that is just the way. I’ve

A Wedi>el> C >uplk Surprised. —A few
weeks since, there was a wedding on
Barone strce + , New Oi leans, celebrated
with great edat, and the newly-married
set out at once on u bridal tour.
The ceremony took place at four
o’chx k iu the afternoon, and at five*
o’clock they wore on board a spleuded
steamer bound for Upper Mississippi.
As sxm as the vessel was under way
the passengers crowded the saloon,
and mirth and revelry began to hold
a festival.
A dance was improvised, and joy and
merriment was protracted into the “w ee
small hours.”
Now, it so happened that the birth
next to our newly-married friend* was
occupied by a lively little matron and
her infant.
Wishing to enjoy as much pleasure
as possible, she had entrusted her babe
to a servant, with instructions to put
it to bed as soon as it went to sleep,
while she herself joined in the dance.
Bv a strange mistake the servunt
mistook the state-room, and depos
ited the rosy infant in the bridal couch.
Now, when the hour for retiring
came, the groom led his blushing bride
to the door, and modestly w aited out
side for her to disrobe and retire.
One can very readily imagine his
astonishment, therefore, when the next
instant he heard his name called fran*
tically, and in accents of surprise aud
distress.
Opening the door he looked in du
biously,
“What’s the matter, my love?”
“Oh, Henry, look here !” .
“Why, bless me, it’s a baby!”
“Yes, but oh, Henry, how did it come
here —do you think it’s ours?”
“Well, no!” replied Henry, solemnly,
“I tliifik it almost too soon.”
“Oh, it certainly is, but then what
shall we do!”
Just then the anxious voice of tho
mother was heard inquiring for the ba
by, and it was restored to her, very
much to the relief of the young peo
ple.
‘ Why, Mary, my dear, how is this,
T find you sitting here so comfortably
with your husband ? You told me
t hat you had quarreled, and he had
i gone for a sailor ?” I father ! I told
you nothing of the kind.’ “Oh, non

together.’ ‘Yes, father, so we had.—

| said I didn’t know; and so he left the
house, saying hr. uxtx going to see !
! That’s all I told you.”
