Jay Gould says that for the first year of his married life he lived on $100, got up at daybreak, went to church every Sunday, and was as happy as a boss bumble bee in sweet clover. The Mississippi river commis ision estimates that it will take $4,000,000 next year to cany on the work of repairs, etc., on the Mississippi from its head to the mouth of the Ohio. The lull magnitude of the calami ty in Johnstown has been carefully calculated. The losses in Pennsyl vania alone from the floods of May SO to June 1, amounted to $30, 000,000 and 6,5000 lives. A Brooklyn man who has made a calculation of the sums of money which Americans have distributed during the last ten years to those suddenly deprived of property, has estimated that $20,000,000 have been contributed. The county of custer, in Mon tana is the largest county in tl.e Uuited States. It contains 13, 569,920 acres and is 150 miles long and 125 miles w;ue. It is a place ofj historic interest, con taining, as it does, the site of the great battl oi l In Little-Big Horn, where Custer and his force were massecred.

That man must lead happy life. W-tao 8 freed from matrimonial cnains; Who is directed by his wife Is sure to sutler for bis pains. Adam could find no solid peace, When Eve was given for a mate Until he saw a woman's face Adam was in a happy state. In all the female face appears Hypocracy, deceit and pride; Truth, darling of a heart sincere. No er known in woman to reside. What tongue is able to unfold The falsehood that iu woman dwells; The worth in woman we behold Is almost imperceptible. Cursed be the foolish man, I say, Who changes from his singleness; Who will not yield to woman's sway, Is sure of perfect blessedness. Having The '"Horrors STARTLING EVIDE.NCLS. Of the Cure of Skin Diseases when all other Methods fail. Psoriasis 5 years, covering face, head, and eutire body with white tcahs. Snin red, itchy, and bleeding. Hair all gone. Speut hundreds of dollars. Pronounced incurable. Cured by Cuticura .Remedies. My disease (psoriasis) first broke out on n.y left cheek, spreading across my nose, and almost covering my face. It ran into iny eyes, and the physician, was afraid I would lose my eyesight altogether. It spread all over my head, and my hair all fell out, until I was entirely bald-headed; it then broke out on my arms and shoulders, until my aims were just oue sore. It cover ed my entire body, ray face, head and shoulders being the worst. The white scabs fell constantly from my head, should ers aud arms; the skin would thicken atid be red and very itchy, and would crack aud bleed if scratched. After spending many bun Ireds of dollars, I was pronounced iu curable. I heard of the Cgttcura KEMK- ri7a ffor nniiicr t.wn hntt.ttl CfTTIOORA .Resolvent, I could see a chant; ; and after I had taken four bottles, I was almost cured; and when I hod used six bottles of OuticUba. Resolvent and one box of Cuti cura, aud one cake of Ccticura Soap, I was curt d of the dreadful disease from which I had suffered for five years. 1 thought the disease won hi leave a very deep scar, but the Cuticura Remedies cured it without any scars. I cannot ex press with a pen what I suffered liefore using the Cuticura Remedies. They savi-d my life, and I feel it my duty to reccom men.l them.

We also conduct an intelligence omce. sptu No, I never had 'em but. once, and not having any undue proper tion of pork in my composition, I don't want to have 'em asain. In the sublime language of the Psalm ist, I've got enough. I have heard of men entertaining several visits of them, but no more for yours truly. I was living in Detroit, Mich., at the time, says a writer in the Jacksonville . Times-Union; had splendid bachelor quarters at the Russell, an income up in the four ciphers, and neither kith nor kin; spent my time mostly at the club1 and the races when in season, first nights at theaters, and so on. . I had been drinking very heavily for about two months, but what started me on such a colossal toot I don't remember now. It might have been because a woman jilted me, or I broke my pet meerschaum, or some other such trifle; but, at any rrte, I was two lengths ahead and still going like a house afire. About this time I concluded I'd sober ofl, and found, to my great surprise, that I couldn't do it. Were you ever so drunk you didn't dare set sober? No? Well, then, all I've got to say is that you have missed one ot the most pe culiar fascinations of sporting life, however, that is the condition I found myself in, and I made up my mind I'd try a trip in the country, and see if I couldn't gradually get down to bedrock aiiain- I took the first train to Ann Arbor, and I put up at the West House, a good, comfortable hotel, where the bar had some of the finest old rye I ever drank. I took a couple of cocktails and a half tumbler of brandy, and then went in to supper. On the table were some delicious fried chicken, hot bitcaits and a lot of other truck, but I coulden't eat a mouth- full; appetite all gone, and my own voice sounding far off to me. I got up from the table, making s -me excuse for having a head ache and went to the bar and took a couple more drinks, and started out for a walk along the lake. Great heavens! how nervous I was. I kept stepping high, never stick ing to the path, and once or twice got nearly into the lake. That wouldn't do, you know. I didn't care about lurnishing the piece 'de resistance for some country coro ner, so I went back to the hotel, bought a bottle of whisky- and a bunch of cigars and went up to my own room. Here 1 sat by an open window, drinking and smoking un til I got calmed down, when I went to bed and in about ten min utes fell into a profound slum ber. " In- about an hour I woke up and lay there, every sense active mTTRRHRTRE FOR THE COI X: vat.t.ts Gazktte. the oldest Da- and alert. It was. a bright moon Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria. light night, and my room was light as day. Hearing a slight rustling at the end of my pillow, I turned my head and saw a most curious looking lizard peering at me. It was about six inches long, and half its bodv lengthwise was green, and the other half purple. Its head was snow white, and one eye yellow, the other red as fire. ,It would peep at me a few sec onds, and then dart back behind the pillow. I watched it without a particle of alarm, but with a sort of stransre curiosity. After a while it grew bolder aud came entirely out on the pillow. Of all the fun ny creatures this was the fun niest. It stood on its head, flirted its tail" back and forth, sat up on its hind legs, put its fore foot up to its nose and wiggled it at me, opened its mouth so wide I thought it was going to swallow itself, and went through a lot of other comic performances. The sight was so irresistably amusing that I involuntarily burst out laughing. Instantly the lizzard ran across the pillow into my mouth and down my throat. It was followed by hundreds, yes thousands ,of other lizards of all sizes and colors. Some were hardly a half inch long, others at least ten inches. Some were black, some red; one, I remember, had a blue body, a green tail and yellow side whiskers. Great heavens, what a sight! I leaped out of bed hardly sup pressing a shriek, and making to the bottle of whisky, filled a gob let brimming full and drank it at one draught. There was no more bed for me that night. I sat by the window until morning, ordered my horse and buggy before breakfast, and hv 9 a. m. was back in Detroit. I j - at once took a batlv and some anchovy sandwiches, and felt like a new man. On Saturday afternoon I started out with a chum for a walk along Woodward avenue. We had gone about a square when I noticed a bug on my coat sleeve, . near the cuff. I brushed it off and thought no more about it. A little further on, however," and the- same bug was on my elbow. I brushed at it, but missed, and it crawled up on my shoulder. I whirled around at it with a tremendious 6lap, and nearly jostled my chum off his feet. "For God's sake, Bill, what's the matter with you?" said he. ''Didn't you 6ee that bug?" I said angrily. "It was right on my shoulder there it is again," I said making a frantic blow at it. "For heaven's 6ake, Bill, be quiet," said my companion. "Quit cutting up that way; see how the people are looking at us." Sure enough, two or three per sons had stopped and were look ing at me curiously, and a police man was crossing the street tow ard 113. There was a saloon near by, and my friend hurried me into it Here I took a hure drink of a brandy, and in a few minutes was all right again. While ordering a drink I had glanced in the glass behind the bar, and saw a white face with wild, staring eyes. Well, to cut a long story short, we got back to my quarters, and as my chum bade me good-by he said, "Go to bed and sober up, old fellow." Sober upl Why, I had been wanting to do that for a month, and didn't dare make the effort. Telling my servant not to let me be disturbed, and locking my door, I went to bed, the most de pressed and unhappy man in the world. I was laying on the bed, every nerve in my body twitching, the perspiration pouring off me in streams, when the door slowly opened and in came . Uio most savage animal I ever saw. It was a mad dog, with eyes red and glaring, every liair on its body bristling with rage and flecks of foam falling from its champing jaws. It went unsteadily aDouc the room, snapping and snarling at every obstacle in the way. I kept still as death, almost breathless, hoping that the dog would not see me, but it did, and crouching dovvn leaped straight at my throat. As it struck the bed I grasped it by the throat with both hands, and then ensued a most fearful struggle. The beast's eyes shone right in my own, and my hands and the bed were spatter ed with bloody foam. I shrieked for help; but no help came. Summoning all my strength for one last desperate effort, I hurled the dog through the open window, and with a yell of triumph, fell fainting to the floor. At this moment my door was burst open with a crash, and four men, led by my perfidious servant, whom I tried in vain to reach and kill, rushed in, giasped and put me back on the bed. The last thing I remember was some one saying, "Now put the morphine into him, doctor." Then I lost consciousness. When I came to I found myselt with shaven head, strangely weak, and the good old doctor gazing complacently at me. "How long have I been sick, doctor?" I asked in a thin, far-off voice. "Two weeks to-day. You have had a hard pull for it, William, but are all right now. Promise me you will give up whisky, Wil li im." Boys, right then and there I mad a solemn vow that I would never again touch the 6tuff, and I have kept that vow inviolate. Since that time not a drop of whis ky has passed my lips. What'll I take? Oh, you can make me a gin cocktail, bartender; gin is good enough for me. THE NEXT CONGRESS. Seals for$tji th IMW P 3 m ft VA . It Has BO jsqnai. u y v It Baved my Child's Ufa.

TV T- O- CASE, The roll of the next house of representatives has been made up and it gives the republicans 164 members and the democrats 161. This only includes those in the last congress and those elected to fill vacancies since, the adjourn ment of congress, and of course leaves out the members who will come in from the new 6tates. This will give the republicans a majority of three, which, while not large, is enough to begin work. The new states will increase this maiority. North and South Da kota and Washington are sure to send republican representatives, and it is very probable that Mon tana will do likewise. But assum ing that Montaa does send a demo cratic congressman, the republi cans will gain a member from Washington and three from the two Dakotas, giving them 168 and the democrats 162, a republican maiority of six. This will not al low any carelessness on the part of the republicans, but it will be sufficient to p? rmit the direction of wise and patriotic legislation.
