But none of them afford him any relief.

Some of these phvsicians must be mistaken. The fact is, they are all right and all wrong; for the patients suffering in this manner have a combination of all these diseases, and the only way to treat such cases successfully is to give a remedy that will act upon all of the-e organs at once. The best article for ttiis is the Shaker Extract of Hoots. Hundreds of cases that resisted the skill of the best medical men have found relief after usin" it.

Hints on Pastrt Making. The following hints on pastry making, by an old housekeeper, from the Pacific hural Press, are worthy of study. The Americans are too much addicted to pastry, but since the taste is already formed, it remains only, in the preparation of such food, to make it as little injurious as possible by making it good. Before making paste, wash the hands in hot water touch the paste as little as possible, and roll it but little; the less the better. If the paste be much wetted it will be tough.

A marble slab is better lhan a board to make paste on; both, together with the rolling-pin, cutters, and tins, should be kept very clean, as the least dust or hard paste left o. either will spoil the whole. The coolest part of the house and of the day should be chosen for the process during warm weather. Flour for the finest paste should be dried and sifted, as should pounded white sugar. Butter should be added to paste in very small pieces, unless otherwise directed.

If fresh butter be riot used, break salt butter into pieces, wash it well in spring water to cleanse it from salt, squeeze it carefully, and dry it upon a soft cloth. Fresh butter should also be well worked to get out the buttermilk. After the butter has been pressed and worked with a wooden knife on the pasteboard, press it very lightly witli a clean solft cloth, to absorb the moisture. If good fresh butter is used it will require very little, if any working. Lard is sometimes used instead of butter, but the saving is of a very trifling importance when it is considered that, although lard will make paste light, it will neither be of so good color or flavor as when made with butter.

His sufferings must have been excruciating during his thirty-six hours' imprisonment. A Santa Fe Sociable. At about five o'clock yesterday afternoon, says the Santa Fe New Mexican, the usual quiet of our surroundings was broken into by loud and repeated shots. Supposing that some one was emptying a navy revolver of old loads, we paid no special heed until some person on the street below sung out 44 Joe Stinson and Van Smith are shooting at each other in the Plaza Hastening down, we arrived in front of the Governor's residence, when we saw Mr.

Smith standing on the east side of the Soldiers' Monument in the center of the Plaza, holding a Winchester 16-shooter at rest, a3 if waiting for some one, all alone, with blood streaming from one of his hands. Colonel Willison was the first to reach him, and next came Governor Arny tothe latter Smith gave up his gun and was led over to his room at the Broad Gauge Saloon, and Dr. Gordon immediately summoned to his assistance. Going along with the crowd we saw blood freely sprinkled about the middle eastern gate of the Plaza, and one of the palings of the fence shattered by a bullet. Across the street from this is Messrs.

Fisher Lucas's jewelry establishment. On each side of their large show-window the wall had been perforated by bullets, and one had also entered the shutters lying beneath the window, greatly to the alarm of Mr. Lucas, who was at work at his table behind the glass. Next door, south, at the Broad Gauge Saloon, another bullet had shattered the sash in the lower north corner of its window. Proceed ing again to the monument in the Plaza, we found blood spattered on its eastern front and the indentation of a bullet in the granite panel, high up on its north A 1 1 1 eastern corner, ana also the marK oi a glancing bullet on its southeastern cor ner.

inquiring tne origin ana cause ot so much promiscuous shooting in one of the most frequented thoroughfares and densely populated portions of Santa Fe, we were informed that Messrs. Joseph Stinson and Van Smith had met that afternoon in a saloon, and while there a controversy sprung up between them in which harsh language was used. Both parties were very much under the influence of liquor at the time, and to settle the diffidulty Stinson proposed to bmith to meet him at the monument in the Plaza, and fight it out the old way with pistols. There the parties separated, Smith going to his room and procuring a Winchester rifle, and Stinson arming himself with a navy revolver. Stinson was on the ground first, and seeing Smith coming across the street with a rifle, instead of a revolver, com menced blazing away at long range before Smith reached the gate.

Having emptied his revolver, Stinson leisurely walked across the center of the Piaza to the west, and entered the drug-store of Dr. John E. Murphy, Smith firing one or more shots from the Winchester. In this strange duel Smith received two severe but, we are pleased to say, not dangerous wounds, and Stinson escaped without a scratch. One of the balls en tered the palm of Mr.

Smith's right hand, coming out above the wrist, and the other lodged in his right hip. There are conflicting accounts about Smith's firing, some contending that he fired one or more shots, and others that he did not discharge his piece. Both gentlemen are known as quiet, peaceable citizens, endowed with as much of that article termed "clear grit" as usually falls to the share of Western men; and what astonishes their friends is the fact that such men could, plan and carry out so desperate an engagement in the very heart of the city, whether drunk or sober, where the lives of so many disinterested persons were endangered. Both parties have been interviewed this morning and both are on friendly terms, Mr. Stinson expressing deep regret at the unfortunate turn of an engagement made under the excitement of liquor, and without malicious motives.

Mr. Smith says he does not recollect any thing about pistols being specified, and with the rifle had started toward the monument expecting to meet Stinson and from there proceed to some more secluded trysting-place. He was resting easy under Dr. Gordon's treatment, and with continued good care expects soon to be on the streets again. We are extremely glad that this unfortunate shooting-scrape terminated no worse, hoping, for the honor of the fair name that Santa Fe has justly made in late years, that no such scene of blood may ever be again witnessed in her houses or streets, and, if it should, that the belligerents will go to the top oi iJaidy Mountain, where no one will be endangered from stray Duiiets.

A Young Girl Commits a Forgery, and Luts ner xnroat. Thursday afternoon a girl aged about fifteen years, named Dolly Kraiase, re siding with her parents at Ltna, attempted to commit suicide by catting her throat with a razor. Earlier in the day she had taken a check for $175, signed by herself, to the Sharpsburg and, Etna Savings Bank, where her father had money on deposit. The cashier advised her of the necessity of her lather's signature, when she went home and placed it to the check and returned to the bank. A clerk in the bank took the check to Mr.

Krause, who said he knew nothing about it. In the mean time the girl left the bank and went home. Arriving there, she endeavored to lift the top off a cistern, with the design to end her days somewhere in the vicinity of its bottom, but the weight was too heavy. She then procured a razor and went to the cellar, where she inflicted a serious gash, some three inches in length, in her throat. Leaving the house she was seen by a young man who raised the alarm, and she was followed, and, after an hour's search, discovered sitting on a stump, quite a distance from her home.

She was taken to the house of Mr. George Seavy, near by, and Dr. Purvis summoned. Her wound was properly dressed by the physician, who conveyed her home in his buggy. Her wound is not necessarily dangerous.

She says her idea in forging the check was to enable her to procure money' with which to visit a brother, living "out West." PUUburgh Commercial.

B. promised to care for The little boy had been Am oner the cadets that were attend ins? West Point at the opening of the war were Thomas L.

Rosser and George A. Custer. Rosser was a tall, hand some, dark-complexioned Virginian, one class in advance of Custer, who was then a bold, fearless young man, who cared more for an exploit of a daring: character than for study, more fond of an adventure than of class honor, lie and Rosser were quite intimate and en ioved manv a frolic together. When the war broke out, Rosser, who was born and raised a Southerner, joined Lee's army, while Custer stood loyal to the old flar. Their bold, fearless na tures adapted them to cavalry service, which thev srreatlv preferred.

And in 1864 Rosser was at the head of a brig ade of the best Southern cavalry, hav ing distinguished himself in several engagements by his dash, and courage. Custer had also been winning laurels for himself and brigade, with Sheridan. Custer, learning the whereabouts of his schoolmate, sent him a challenge to meet him with his brigade, at some point, and fight their respective com mands. Rosser was anxious to accept, but the better judgment of Lee prevented their as he saw that it would, avail nothing more than the sacrifice of many sroou men and officers. Had the con test been allowed to take place, it would probablv have been the fiercest battle that was ever fousrht between two brigades, as both commands were finely equipped, well mounted, and commanded by the most fearless of officers.

Nearly a decade passed without their meeting, and in the summer of '73 Ros ser was in charge of the Northern Pacific surveying party, which was to go west from Fort Abraham Lincoln to the Yel lowstone, then southwest up the Yel lowstone some 200 miles, to connect the line with the survey made from the west end of the road. Gen. Stanley was to command the escort, which consisted of two regiments of infantry aad the 7th Cavalry, commanded by Custer. The engineers left Fort Lincoln with a small escort on the 17th day of Tune, and were joined by the main command "that left Fort Rice" on the 25th of the same month on the west bank of Mud Creek. As soon as Rosser heard that Custer had arrived, and was camped near by, he sent him a personal invitation to visit him at his headquarters as early as convenient.

The same evening Gen. Custer, with several of his officers, called on Gen. Rosser, and they greeted each other warmly and cordially, and chatted over their school days and comrades related war stories with as friendly a spirit as though both had been serving on ike same side. There were many courtesies exchanged between them on the expedition. Custer beinr under arrest at one time by order of Gen.

Stanley, was released by the influence of Rosser, who, when leaving him at the Yellowstone, gave Custer a new tent, much larger and better adapted for his purpose than those furnished by the Government. It was afterwards pierced by two bullets, fired by a couple of Indians while in camp opposite Pompey's Pillar. Experiences of the Sultan's Pianist. La Liberie announces among its musical items the arrival in Paris of one Donizetti, professor of piano music to the late Sultan Abdul Aziz, through whose death the musician has lost his situation. Donizetti, who, it appears, is anephewof theauthorof "Favorita," describes his experience thus 44 You are summoned at 8 o'clock in the morning to play for three hours.

And so the intelligence continues, until you are wearied beyond endurance, and the Sultan is finally ready. Then an immense grand piano i3 brought in without its legs, for the floor of the gallery is a precious mosaic of the rarest woods, and may not bear the weight of a piano even. The immense instrument is placed on the backs of five wretched Turks, suitably placed on their hands and knees. 4 say you, I can not play on a five-Turk Supposing you complain that theinstm-ment is not level, they gracefully place a cushion under the knees of the smallest Turk, and tell you to proceed, without suspecting the sentiment of humanity that has occasioned the delay. The Sultan appears, and, after all manner of prostrations, you ask for a chair.

There is none no one ever sits in the presence of the Sultan. You protest you cau not play unless you sit, and the Sultan finally orders a chair to be produced. You play for an hour or so, and after the Sultan has watched the effect on his followers until he is weary he rudely thrusts you aside and takes your place. The eunuchs and the rest awake and applaud his discords with rapturous exclamations, and after he has amused himself thus until he is satisfied of the superiority of his music over yours, you are dismissed. And this it is to be pianist to a Sultan." Two Days and a Night in a Cistern with a Broken Arm.

The Kansas City Times says: On the evening of the 4th of July, just when all the people were turning towards home with their little ones, a faint, weak voice attracted the attention of an old colored woman, who was slowly making her way over th hill between Second and Third Grand Avenue. The cry came apparently from the earth, but as there was no place where such a sound could emanate, except from an old dry cistern close by, the old woman peered down into the hole, and was startled to find the weak, pitious voice emanating therefrom. She at once gave notice to some boys who were playing close by, and Messrs. Lamborn and Cutler were prompt to bring ladders and rescue the sufferer. The former, on coiner down.

found a little colored boy aged about 3 years. He was lying upon his back, moaning piteonsly with pain. He did not seem to know his name, but some of the colored children recognized him as the child of a colored woman of ill-repute named Delia Burton, living on Grand Avenue her husband is serving out a term at Jefferson City. The little boy was conveyed in the arms of a kind white man to the room of his worthless mother, who was absent. Medical attendance was summoned, and it was found that the boy had broken his right arm in the fall and had suffered other injuries.

There may be a spice of vanity in this new under-graduate wrinkle, but there are obvious good qualities in the gowns they will equalize the class in respect of dress, and save many a student, who can not afford it, either the expense of a dress-coat or the often keenly felt embarrassment of appearing on the platform without one. The following prophecy, which is said to have been written in 1455 more than 400 years ago went the rounds of the papers during the Crimean War, and has now reappeared: In twice two hundred years the Bear The Crescent shall assail But if the Cock anil Bull unite The Bear Bhall not prevail.

As soon as the family arrive at the little wooden church, and the reindeer are secured, the father shovels a snug little bed in the snow, and the mother wraps the baby in skins and deposits it therein. Then the father piles the snow around it, and the dog is set on guard, while the parents go decorously into the church.

Often as many as thirty babies may be seen laid away in the snow about a church. The most curious of all kinds of invisible ink is that from cobalt. It is a very singular phenomenon that the figures traced out with this ink may be made to disappear and reappear at pleasure. This property is peculiar to ink obtained from cobalt, for all the other kinds are at first invisible, until some substance has been applied to make them reappear but when once they have reappeared they remain. A very pleasing experiment is produced by the following: Dissolve cobalt into nitro-muriatic acid then take a drawing representing a winter scene, the trees appearing devoid of leaves, put on the leaves with this ink, and when held to the fire the drawing will appear in all the verdure of spring.

A great social event in Virginia City, Nevada, was the opening of The Silver Palace," a drinking and gambling saloon. The local newspapers devote whole columns to descriptions of the gorgeousness of the establishment and brilliancy of the opening. Private invitations were issued," says the Chronicle 44 to several hundred prominent citizens, requesting them to be present with their lady friends. The invitation was generally accepted. Only those who had been asked were admitted, and many of the best people in town took advantage of the courtesy of the proprietors.

The ladies seemed to find an especial delight in entering upon what after that night would be to them forbidden ground, and wandered round by scores." A California Romance. Dennis McjNabb was the porter in a mining company's office on California Street. Dennis swept out and dusted things, kept the desks in blotting-pads, and in wiuter mado that firo which is totally unnecessary in our wonderful climate, but which ever ybody insists upon having about four months in the year, just to remind them of the States. Dennis felt very humble and lowly indeed, as his salary was only $10 a week, and when the Secretary who got 100 a month for putting his feet on his desk and writing notes from the 44 Poodle Dog" scowled and wanted to know where in the bottomless pit the Stock Keport was, Dennis felt very much overpowered and down-trodden indeed. Uut Dennis had heard of Whit-tington and Franklin and John McCul-lough, and other great men, and so he worked patiently on, washing the spit-tsons, taking around assessments notices, listening at the board-room keyholes, and biding his time generally.

Patience and frugality is its own reward, and one day Dennis heard the president read a telegram from the superintendent up on the lode. They had struck pay-rock at last. That night Dennis drifted around and conferred awhile with McCarthy, who kept the saloon at the corner. Then he had a whisper or two with Hoolihan, who had made a few dollars running the hack-stand. McXabb had also something to say to Q'Flynn, the stevedore, of a confidential nature.

The next morning the Secretary of the Yellow Cat Gold and Silver Mining Company found Mc-Nabb'sbrogans in front of his ink-stand imd the spittoons being cleaned by a Mongolian. Before the official could recover his breath a small Fenian pro-cessian filed in. There had been a cor ner in Yellow Cat that morning, and in less that ten minutes the old Board was voted out, and the meek McNabb elected President, and was busily signing notices of a five-dollar assessment on the "outsiders." And now Mr. Dennis McNabb rides languidly down to the office in his coupe, and in the evening he sits on a satin sofa up at the ex-President's house, with his French boots on a Steinway Grand and a four-bit cigar in his mouth, while the daughter sings "Lanigan's Ball" in Italian smacks him with her fan and says: 44 You Irish are such naughty, fickle men, but so nice." San Frojicisco Ncius Letter, Philadelphia, June 19. Ihavehad to comply with the rules and have my photograph pasted on my pass.

The work was done inside the grounds by regularly appointed artists. As they had- to depict several thousand correspondents they couldn't take much pain's. You know I am not strikingly handsome even when pleased. In fact, I was as mad as a steamboat barkeeper with a big lot of passengers carrying their own whisky I had been standing in the press-gang line for an hour and a half. And I had on a tight pair of shoes.

And I was hot and hungry -and thirsty and dry and wanted some lager the worst sort. And then I felt sneaky and mean at the rogue's gallery idea of the arrangement. But my turn came at last. I need not say that my hair was rumpled, and my collar wilted, and my cravat twisted, and my shirt-front bulged out. I flopped down in the chair like a boarding-house boarder, and butted back the forked iron head-brace clear out of position.

The artist wanted to fix me in a better attitude. But I told him to shoot it to me as I was. There wasn't much time to argufy, so he shot it to me as I was. Just as he shot it to me as I was, a bright ray of light fell on the tip-top of my tawny head, and glanced off into my right eye. I involuntarily shut down my right eye, and of course elevated my right cheek.

Then I thought what the consequence would be, and I smiled a smile of three or four inches in width. When the artist gave me the picture next day he kinder laughed. He might well have kinder laughed. The sudden ray of light on the top of my head had left the similification of along, diagonal, shiny, bald streak much like a blaze on a roan mustang's nose. The sudden shutting of my right eye had left a sort of a gilt-edged balcony over that optic and the consequent smile had extended under my left ear, exactly above the place where the knot ot my cravat was tied.

When I gave the picture to the lady in attendance, who was to paste it on my ticKet, she kinder laughed. When 1 gave it to the man who was to put the official stamp on it, he kinder laid back in his chair and put a rubber eraser in his mouth, and appeared to be suffering some inward pain. But at last he stamped it, and then I went right out at the big gate and came around to a small gate, to see how slick and nice it would be coming in on a special Centennial correspondent's tick et. But I didn't come in with it very slick and nice. 44 See here, young man," says the gate-keeper, 44 you xjan't come around here trying to get in on that there thing.

Seeing there was no use to argue the matter, and feeling the justice of the man's convictions, I went around to the press headquarters outside and ex plained my troubles.

They sent a man back with me who made it all right. But that is the only gate-keeper who will let me in on the infernal hobgoblin of a pass and he is still suspicious Cor. Vicksburg Herald. A Touching Tale. He was a seedy-looking individual, and as he stood upoH the corner gazing wistfully at the disappearing form of a newsboy who had iust picked up good-sized stump and was making off with the prize, there was a vague aspect of despair in his attitude which was very touching, remaps it was this which attracted the attention of a mild- looking party who was passing by, and perhaps it was something else; but however this may be, the mild-looking party stopped, and gazing at the solita ry figure, addressed it thus 44 Old man, wouldn't you nice to nave a drink this morning 44 You've read me as accurately as though my thoughts were printed on an open page," replied the solitary, taking his quid from his mouth and passing a dilapidated coat-sleeve over his lips.

The trees appear to be thickly covered with these destructive insects. In sections containing many hundred acres of the finest red cedar in the State the timber attacked much of it is already killed, and nearly all that the pests are on appears to be in a dying condition grave fears are expressed by many that they will, in the future, almost destroy the cedar timber as they multiply. They seem to be indigenous to the as yet molested no forest tree but it.

SAFE $3 fimm i- X- It. 2 r- a a -1 very sweet and clean, is often used for kitchen pies, and is, in this instance, a good substitute for butter, lard, etc. In hot weather the butter should be broken into pieces and put into spring water, or into ice but on no account put the paste into ice, else the butter in it will harden it, and in baking melt and separate from the paste. The same thing happens in winter, when the butter has not been sufficiently worked and the paste is rather soft for, though the season be favorable to the maker of paste, care must be taken to work the butter sufficiently. In winter paste should be made very firm, because the butter is then so.

In summer the paste should be made soft as the butter is then the same. It is important to work up paste lightly and gradually into a uniform body, no strength or pressure being used. It is necessary to lightly flour both sides of paste when you roll it in order to prevent its turning gray in baking but if much flour be sprinkled on it the paste will not be clear. Attention to the rolling out is most important to make light puff-paste. If it be too light it may be rolled out once or twice more than directed, as the folding mainly causes it to rise high and even Be sure, invariably, to roll puff-paste from you.

Those who are not practiced in making puff-paste should work the butter in by breaking it into small pieces, and covering the paste rolled out: dredge it lightly with flour, fold over the sides and ends, roll it out very thin, add the remainder of the butter, and fold and roll as before. To insure lightness paste should be set in the oven as soon after it is made as possible on this account the paste should not be begun to be made until the oven is half heated, which sometimes occupies an hour. If paste be left twenty minutes or more before it is baked it will become dull and heavy. Paste should be light without being greasy, and baked of a fine color, with out being Durnt; therefore, to insure good baking requires attention. Jrutl-paste requires a brisk oven: a moderate one will best make pies and tarts, pudding3 and biscuits.

Regu lation of heat, according to circumstances, is the main point in baking. If the oven be too hot, the paste, be side being burned, will not rise well, and, if it be too slack, the paste will be soddened, not rise and want color. Raised pies require the quickest When fruit pies are baked in iron ovens the sirup is apt to boil out of them. To prevent this, set a few thin bricks on the bottom of the oven before it is heated but this will not be requisite if the oven has a stone bottom. Tart-tins, cake-molds, and dishes should well buttered before baking; articles to be baked on sheets should be placed on butlered paper.

Sentenced to 124 Years' Imprisonment. The Supreme Court has just passed an original sentenced. Two employees of the Post-office, in the money order department, Manuel Carvalio and Jose E. Guzman, sobbed the office of At an early stage of the case Guzman escaped, but was subsequently discovered in an obscure part of the town in a state of semi-intoxication, and was imprisoned for two months. Carvalio was not so fortunate, and the sentence of the Supreme Court on him, just delivered, amounts to the trifle of 124 years! Ihi3 surprising result is due to the fact that the robbery was effected at different times and under two legal periods $20,925 was abstracted before the Penal Code came into force and for this, under a law of 1807, has been awarded the penalty of six years in the penitentiary.

The remainder 3,202.60 had been stolen at eighty different times, and for each infraction of the law Carvalio has been sentenced to 541 days' imprisonment. Chilian Times. ScIiencJk's Sea Weed Tonic.

In order to keep a natural healthful activity of the system we must resort to artificial means.

For this purpose Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is very effectaaL A few doses will create an appetite and give fresh vigor to the enervated body. For dyspepsia it is invaluable. Many eminent physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia can be permanently cured by the drugs which are generally employed for that purpose. The Sea Weed Tonic, in its nature, is totally different from such drugs. It contains no eorrosive minerals or acids ia fact.

It assists the regular operations of nature and supplies her deficiencies. The Tonic in Its nature so much resembles the gastric juice that it is almost identical with that fluid. The gastric Juice is the natural solvent which, in a healthy condition of the body, causes the food to be digested; and, when this juice is not excreted in suf ficient quantities, indigestion, with all its distress ing symptoms, follows. The Sea Weed Tonic per forms the duty of the gastric juice when the latter is deficient. Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic eoid all Druggist.
