CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS,
FOR THE CURE OF
Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HKADACHI.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
1)AIN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side ; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. • The
stomach is affected with loss of appe
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss of mem
ory, accompanied with a painful sen
sation of having left undone sorae
ihing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
weariness and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensa
tion of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer
cise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex
isted, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the liver to
have been extensively deranged.

THE DAWSON .JOURNAL
BY J. D. IIOYL & CO.
A vSYJwW PuW i l,ner Her Marriage
\ ow Even to the Trap ot the
Gallows.
A touching story is narrated in con
nection with the execution of Walter
Watson, at Highland, Indiania, on Fri
day last for the murder of Ezra Comp
ton. The parties had quarrelled about
the charge of a quarter dollar for some
soap made by Compton, who was a
storekeeper. The wife of Watson, to
whom he had been but a year married,
endeavored to restrain him from the
quarrel, but her entreaties failed. A
week before the execution Mrs. Watson
visited the Governor, with her babe in
her arms, and made a strong personal
appeal for mercy, but that official de
clined to interfere because the sentence
had been confirmed by the Supreme
Court. The faithful wife was a daily
visitor to her husband’s cell, and joined
him in fervent prayers for forgivness.
During the last night most of the time
she sat on his knee breathing words of
love and encouragement, or at his feet
caressing his hands. lie was truly
penitent, and expressed himself as hav
ing made peace with God. As the
time approached for the execution she
was for a moment overcome, and fell
on her husband’s neck in uncontrolla
ble anguish, but suddenly she raised
her flaxen head and assisted in
arraying him for his doom. She had
contributted a nectie and a pair of slip
pers and put them on him with a fierce
determination that overmastered her
agony. She combed his hair, and see
ing all was ready, said she would go
with him. All present remonstrated
with her, in which the minister joined.
Her reply was a rebuke that few women
would have ventured : “I should not
have expected this from a minister.
When I was married I promised to
cleave to iny husband for better or for
worse. I promised this to a minister,
and I am going to keep my word as
far as God will let me.” On reaching
the gallows the pair soon to be sunder
ed mounted the steps hand in hand.
They were seated side side‘on the
fatal trap. She again took his hand
and sobbed with her little head resting
upon his shoulder, while the minister
made the closing prayers.
Meanwhile the culprit sat in his chair
unmoved. A heart-broken wife was
sobbing on his bosom, strong men sob
bed, but the man about to be hanged
seemed an uninterested spectator of the
absorbing scene of which he was the
central figure. For fully five minutes
he sat there without the least percepti
ble twitch of a musele. There was no
bravado ip this composure ; it was the
calmness of resignation. At the close
of the religious exercises, the two stood
up, and for the last time she embraced
her husband, kissed him passionately,
and with “Good-bye, Walter,” stepped
back and fell into the arms of the good
Christian ladies who were there to re
ceive her. The last words of the un
happy man were a fervent prayer for
mercy and for heavenly aid to his poor
wife. At the Sheriff s house she saw
the remains of her husband in his cof
fin, and kissing his lips and arranging
the hair, turned away with a look of
woe and said, “I can cry no more ; I
have no more tears. God have mercy
on me and my little baby.”
An hour later the coffin was in an
East bound train, accompanied by the
wife. At Richland, a bleak station
saven miles from this point, it was de
posited on the barred ground, and as
the train moved on only one other per
son beside the widow was in charge.
The face that broken-hearted woman
turned up to the occupants of the pass
ing train, most of whom had seen the
hanging, will haunt many in their
dreams.
Th* Colored Exodus.
The Louisville Courier-Journal re
gards the colored exodus from the South
as a political trick, and, in urging Con
gressman W hitthorne to press his reso
lution to investigate this emigration
movement, says:
“'phis w hole ‘exodus scheme is a
piece of scoundrelisin. The monsters
who are at the bottom of it know per
fectly well what they are about. They
have for their object the falsification of
the next census. The ‘exodus’ scheme
is a census movement purely. The ne
gro is simply to be used, as the Repub
licans have always used him, as so much
fuel to fan the flame of sectional strife
and hate, regardless of his fate. Asa
trick it is the worst yet; a base born,
black-hearted piece of barbarous cruel
ty which every villain who supports .t
knows to be infamous and inhuman.

Au Arkansas Farmer Predicts
His Own Heath.
A most extraordinary death occurred
a few days ago near Little Rock. A
farmer living about ten miles from the
city predicted that he would die on a
certain day. His friends and family
remonstrated with him concerni.ig this
unwarranted phantasmatical idea,
which is uppermost in his mind. He
however, diregarded their entreaties,
but for a time laid aside his peculiar
notion, and his friends thought no more
about the prophecy. The fated day
came at last, and, with his accustomed
regularity, he went to work as usual.
No change had occurred in his physical
condition to warrent the fulfillment of
the fatal prediction. About 11 o’clock
he quit work and went to his home and
remarked that his feet were cold and
that he felt sick.
Pulling off his shoes he sat by the
fire and held out his feet. Turning
around to his wife, he said:
“I am going to die just as I told
you.”
A few moments later he said :
“I am dying now, death has begun
at my feet and is creeping towards my
head.’’
His wife assisted him to bed, and
while she was gone to get fuel to start
fire, he died, thus fulfilling a predic
tion made days bafore the eventful
time. —Memphis Herald.
A Baby in a Panther’s Jaws.—
Last Thursday evening about dark, Mr.
and Mrs. George Campbell and Dick
Mannon were sitting on the porch of
the Soda Springs Hotel, at Soda
Springs, on the Sacramento river, while
Mr. Campbell’s little boy, aged about
three years, was across the road, about
fifty or sixty feet distant, amusing him
self by cutting bushes with a little
hatchet. Those on the porch were
startled and'horrified by observing a
panther spring upon the child, and at
the time supposed he was dangerously
injured, which would have been the
case, no doubt, had not the child
screamed and those on the porch shout
ed excitedly, which prevented the pan
ther making a deadly spring, as he was
evidently watching and fearing the
parties on the porch. As it was, the
panther seized the child oy the chin,
one of the tusks of the upper jaw cut
cutting his lip, and one in the lower
jaw cutting liis neck, while the paw of
the beast struck and scratched him in
the breast. The shouting and rushing
toward the child by those on the porch
caused the panther to make tracks up
the mountain speedily, and after pick
ing up the child and examining the
wounds inflicted, Mannon returned to
the house for his gun, and following it
up the mountain, soon dispatched the
panther, a hungry, lean-looking custo
mer, measuring five feet from tip to tip.
Yreka (Cal.) Journal, April 3.
Sanford Journal: “We have often
read in our school days, always with a
great deal of suspicion, the story of the
eagle and fish-hawk, wherein the form
er pounces upon the latter, makes him
drop his fish, and then darts down and
catches the fish before it reaches the
water, but a few days since we had all
our doubts removed by witnessing the
performance. We were near the mouth
of Cloud creek, on the bank of Lake
Mouroe, one mile west of Sanford. We
spied a large eagle perched on a limb
of a monster dead cypress tree, and out
in the lake a quarter of a mile a white
headed fish-hawk was sailing, and occa
sionally poising himself in mid-air as if
looking for a fish to pounce upon. All
at once he seemed to frld his wings to
his side and let go his hold on the air,
and down he went, head-foremost, with
a splash into the water. He arose
above the water almost instantly, and
in his talons was a fish about ten inches
long. The old eagle, it would appear,
had been watching the manoeuvre, for
he immediately left his perch on the cy
press tree and started in pursuit of the
fish-hawk, which made off from the
shore as fast as he could when he saw
his pursuer. But the eagle soon over
took him—they were at that time about
one-hundred and fifty feet above the
water—and attacked him wickedly.
The fish-hawk made only one dart to
escape his enemy, and then dropped
the fish. The fish fell with a natural
velocity, but the eagle closed his wings
and went down head-foremost, swift as
a bullet, and actually scooped the fish
up in his talons before it reached the
water, and flew back to the same cy
press tree he had started from, where
he sat and feasted on his stolen dinner.
Bayonets are the favorite argument
of oppressors the people see the point
so easily.
UNREQUITED LOVE.
Shoots the Woman who had Rejected
Him and Then Kills Himself.
Buffalo Express.
In the village of Canaseranga, on the
Erie Railway, a few miles beyond port
age, on Wednesday evening last, a
young man named John Luce, in des
peration caused by an unrequited love,
shot the object of his affections, and af
teward fired a ball into his own brain.
The young lady may recover, but the
love crazed youth died within a few
hours after firing the fatal shot. HJiss
Lucy Wyman, a young woman of good
family and good character, had the mis
fortune to kindle a spark of affection
in Luce’s heart, which she could not
reciprocate. In answer to the young
man’s declaration of love Miss Wyman
frankly explained her feelings and ex
pressed a willingness to maintain friend
ly xelations as of old. Luce was not
satisfied. Early on Wednesday eve
ning he invited the young woman to
take a walk with him. They went into
the outskirts of the village, and Lace
again avowed his love and urged a fav
orable answer to his suit. He met with
a very positive refusal, whereupon he
took a revolver from his pocket, and
fired direct at Miss Wyman. The ball
entered her head. Hastening back to
his own home, Luce sought his room
and shot himself.
A Fearful Plunge.
On Sunday last, Belle Mason, 22
years of age, was nursing a sick
friend, and at 5 o’clock in the morn
ing, she went to the well to get a
glass of water for the sick girl.—
While she was raising the bucket
with a pulley rope a dog ran against
her and, the curbing being slippery,
threw her feet from under her and
she plunged head first into the well,
which was twenty-one feet deep to
the water and the latter six feet deep.
Below the bottom of the wel. was a
hole drilled through a stratum of
rock forty feet and large enough to
admit the body of a man, which,
fortunately, the girl escaped. Rising
to the surface she uttered a scream.
After several immersions in the wa
ter she got hold of the bucket and
waited for help. Avery McCune, a
young man. without a thought of pe
ril, descended the well, picking his
way along the stone wall, reaching
the girl as she had nearly become ex
hausted. Clasping her under one
arm, the heroic fellow retracted his
way, as he went down, and placed
her on the surface, when she swooned
completely. When it is considered
that she weighs 13) pounds, added
to which were her water soaked gar
ments, and that she was so exhausted
as to be perfectly helpless, the nerve
and pluck of the young man are ap
parent. —Chicago Tribune.
One Woman and Two Head Men.
Two men were killed in a duel in
Glendale on Sunday morning last. J.
Littlefield and A. 11. Foster were rivals
for the affections of the same woman.
Foster was successful, married her and
settled down. For a time the differ
ence of the two men were held in check,
but the ardor of Littlefield’s love was
not assuaged by the lapse of time. The
trouble finally culminated in a challenge
to fight, and a meeting was arranged as
above stated. Neither shrunk from
the encounter, and each used his revol
ver to kill. Both fired simultaneously
and both fell in their tracks. Little
field was shot through the heart and
died almost instantly. Foster, who was
hit in a vital part, expired four hours
afterward. —Montana Herald.
Strange Freak of a I>ove.
For more than a week, says the Bos
ton Advertiser, a beautiful white dove
of the tumbler variety has followed
Conductor Smith’s freight train on the
Old Colony Railroad daily from Wal
pole to a certain spotinMedfield, Mass,
where it alights on a particular barn,
reappearing the next day at the same
place in Walpole. During a part of
the way the dove flies just back of the
cab, under the pillar of smoke, and with
in a few feet of the engineer, and a
part of the way beside the engineer's
window and within two feet of his hand
as he stretches it toward her. Occa
sionally she falls back to the rear of
the train, as if surveying it, hut only
to resume her wanted place a moment
later. The engineer has tried several
times to run away from the beautiful
bird by putting on extra steam, but to
no purpose. When the train passes
under a bridge the dove mounts grace
fully above it, tumbling immediately
to its place agaiu on the other side.
A TRUNKMAKER’S LUCK.
And Also a Kentuckian’s—Worces
ter and Calhoun in Colorado.
Boston Herald.
Henry M. Wheelock, of Worcester,
formerly a trunkmaker in that city, and
for the past eight years a resident of
Portland, has, by a single stroke of the
pick axe, found bimimself one of the
wealthiest men in the West He went
to Colorado last June, and forming a
partnership with one John Calhoun,
formerly of Kentucky, a photographer,
then located in Leadville, they put to
gether the few hundred dollars they
had and purchased three claims in
South Evans, some seven miles out of
Leadville. They cleared the ground)
commenced digging, and in January
struck a vein of silver, which appeared
promising. It was at so great a depth,
however, that water flowed in and froze.
They were obliged to wait for warmer
weather, and as soon as a thaw set in
they renewed their operations. At
each stroke of their pick the value of
their “find” became more and more ap
parent ; and the news of their good luck
spread far-and near, creating a greatstir
in the county. Many of the miners had
been at work for weary months and
years with but small returns, and so in
tense was the excitement, and so great
the throng of men who gathered from all
points to see the mine that the owners
were obliged to guard their claim night
and day from invasion. They were be
seiged by capitalists from New York,
San Francisco and Chicago, anxious to
purchase, but they firmly refused all
offers, and kept steadily at work delved
opening their mine. The lode was found
to be of great depts and purity, branch
ing out in various direction, and dis
playing a wealth of silver which fairly
set their neighbors aflame with jealous
frenzy. The owners positively refused
to name a price for their undeveloped
rights, while others thick and fast came
pouring in. Among them was one of
$70,000, which they promptly refused.
A. day or two later they were offered
$200,000. On the sth of the present
month they ret'u.ed and offer of $500.-
000, feeling confident that their mine is
able to develop millions of dollars. They
do not purpose to work it further than
to ascertain its probable value, and will
sell to capitalists, who stand ready to
close a bargain, from a stock company
and work what they are unanimous in
terming the richest mine in Colorado.
Mr. Wheelock has named it “The
Black Prince,” after a favorite horse
owned by him in Portland. Mr. Wheel
ock married a Salem lady named Minor
who is at her home awuiting the return
of her husband. The news of their
good fortune having been whispered
about, all members of the family have
been beseiged by tradespeople with dia
monds, jewelry, and every conceivable
commodity for sale.

How Smelt* are Caught in
Maine.
On the coast of Maine smelts visit
the riv,rs about the 20th of December,
and remain almost all winter. For
about two months they take the hook
readily, and are caught in considerable
numbers through holes cut in the ice.
Formerly, on cold days, it was very se
vere fishing, without shelter, except by
piling up cakes of ice, evergreen boughs,
&c. Last winter one of the fishermen
made a canvas tent, and it proved so
comfortable that it has now become the
universal custom to fish in them. There
arc now on the ice, above the bridges,
two village ot these canvas houses, much
resembling an Indian encampment in
winter quarters. A light wooden frame,
with a sharp roof, is put together, and
the whole oovered with a light canvas
or cotton cloth. In some instances the
coveriug is painted, to resist the pierc
ing north-west winds. The ordinary
tent is about six feet square, occasion
ally one is larger, for two persons. The
interior is provided with a stove and a
bench, upon which the angler sits while
fishing. The whole rests upon runners,
and can be easily moved from place to
place. When the fisherman reaches the
place he cuts a hole through the ice,
places his tent over the same, builds a
fire, ctfßses the door, drops his lines
through the hole and waits for bites.
Each man uses four lines. The bait
used in this vicinity is the clam worm,
which is found in the clam flats. The
upper end of the line is fastened to a
rack above the fisherinan’r head, with
the hook from six to ten feet below the
surface. The fisherman sits on the
benoli beside the stove and patiently
waits for the fish to bite. There is not
much skill in this kind of angling, for
when a smelt takes the hook the mo
tion of the line conveys the fact to the
fisherman, and he quickly hauls him in
The fish bite better on cold, stormy days.
From ten to fifteen pounds is a fail
day’s work for one man.
Chinese Labor for the South.
A New York letter says; “There
was some talk at the Cotton Enchange
on Friday afternoon abontthe South
ern planters sending to Hong Kong
for a cargo or two of Chinamen to
work on the cotton and sugar planta
tions in Louisiana and Mississippi
which the negroes are abandoning,
and lam inclined to think there is
something in it. It is already known
that the Louisiana planters sometime
since dispatched an agent to Fran
cisco to see wlmt the Six Companies
there could do for them in this way,
and that the latter informed them
just now there were no Chinamen in
California who were unemployed,
but that there would be no difficulty
in procuring all the labor they wan
ted at Hong Kong. If the Cotton
Exchange people are well informed,
then it would really seem as if the
advice was about to be, if it had not
already been acted upon. The enter
prise will probably not go beyond a
single steamer load by way of expe
riment, but if this experiment suc
ceeds we are assured that the num
ber to be imported w ill lie limited
Only by the financial ability of the
planters to pay for their passage.—
Persons who profess to know all
about it say that the Chinaman is
admirably adapted to work in the
cotton and sugar fields, and that there
can be no question but that his in
troduction there would speedily work
a wonderful change for the better in
Southern industries.”
Anecdote of Men Butler.
Ben Butler was called on by a per

“Mr Butler,” said he, “one of my

required by law, and was closed. Now
I wish to know whether I can obtain

“Most assuredly,” replied the wid

“Well, Mr. Butler, how much 1”
“Oh, about ten dollars.”
“But, Mr. Butler,” triumphantly,
“the cow was yours.”
“Ah,” said Mr. Butler, thoughtful
ly, and he looked unutterable things out
of his bad eye. Then he turned to his
desk, scratched off a few lines on a
piece of paper and handed it to his visi

and read as follows:
“B. F. Butler to Mr.—-—,dr: To

Terrible Tales of Hunger, Disease and
Death—Misery in Morocco—Star

London, April27.—A correspondent
writing from Mizpah-Mocadoa, Morocco,
states that more than 13,000 persons
had perished in that town from hunger.
The dead and dying were lying in every
street in and out of the town. The dead
were hurried not more than one span
deep, and dogs soon uncovered the
earth and fed on the bodies. Small-pox,
measles, ch >lera and typhoid fever, the
latter now raging, have sucoeeded each
other. In Mullah, or the Jewish quar
ter, every house has been turned into a
hospital. Starvation was not confined
to men. Cattle, camels, horses, fheep
and poultry have all or nearly all per
ished, but the dogs have survived it,
and, in their insatiable hunger, finding
no food in the towns and abandoned by
their masters, who either died or left
their villages in seroh of food, fed on
human flesh. Iloaming over the coun
try in bands of twenty, thirty or fifty,
they sometimes even attacked any hu
man being they met and devoured him.
Some twenty men, women and children
were eaten up within one mile of the
town.
Too Good.
Avery good and pit us-lookirg
young man applied for a position in
a well-known store lust week. After
he had introduced himself and made
known his wa .to, the proprietor in
formed him that lie would like to
have a clerk if he could get one that
wonld suit him,
‘1 suppose you go to church, eh ?
he commented.
‘Yes, sir.’
‘D> you drink ?’ continued the mer.
chant, eyeing him sharply,
‘N-ver!’
'Do you use tobacco in any form?’
Here the young man push-d the
quid into the roof of his mouth, and
replied with a smile that was child
like and Men ;*1 never use the weed
and nev< r did. I consider it the low
est and most shocking habit that a
man cm bn dd.Cted to,’
'Doyou friquent the policy shops?’
‘No, sir; revm!’
‘Do you go to the National theatr r ,
dog fights or boxing exhibition ?’
‘Never was at any in my life,’ was
he emphatic reply.
‘Can you tell uie the ace ol diamonds
from the king of clubs?’
“I know nothing whatever of
caids!”
‘Do you ever bet?’
‘No, sir, 1 i’eii’t,’
said the merchant, ‘a
man should offer to bet a thousand
dollars to ten dollars, that a three-leg
ged goat could outrun a gray hound,
would you take him?’
‘No, sir!’
‘Then you won’t do for this estab
lishment; we dou’t want|yoa—we never
hire fouls!’
That youth won’t be so good next
time.
