A COWBOY AND HIS VIRGIL.
Au Amherst. Graduate Who Turned
lute m "Blood and Thunder Kid."
. The following story of John B. Fiueh,
the temperance orator, appears in The
Omaha Herald. It is a much better
story when toltl by Mr. Finch himself"
Mr. Finch enjoys hunting, ami f re
quently takes his horse and rides out on
the plains of Nebraska. One day about
dusk he came suddenly upon a deep
ravine. A spiral column of smoke
curled skyward, and told him therewa
a camp below. The rider dismounted.
His scheme was to visit the emigrants
and get a drink of water. He turned
to descend, when a cowboy, six feet tall
and armed from head to foot, stood
before him.
"Come down to the camp and " us,'
said the cowboy.
Mr. Finch decided that sineo he had
bee invited it w ould be impolite for
him to decline.
"There are four of us lyw," said the
cowboy, complacently. "Come iuside
and join us in a game of poker."
Mr. Finch was too well bred to refuse
bo kind a request. He congratulated
himself that he was poor. He a!so
realise J that life is sweet. The game
continued till an early hour. Mr. Finch
didn't lose much; he didn't have much.
Something seemed to strike tliecowlniy ;
he started.
"Come outside by the fire,' said he to
Mr. Finch. "I have something to show
you."
The stranger knew it would not be
obliging if he did not comply.
"I wish you would explain to me,"
said the cowboy, bringing a mysterious
looking book out of the tent, "this pass
age in Virgil. It always puzzled me in
college. I'm rusty in my Latin now. I
wish you would help me. Here it is;
construe, please."
Mr. Finch was .perfectly willing to
do everything he could to help his un
fortunate friend.
"Thanks. It's very clear to me now. I
I feel relieved."
The two returned to the tent. The
eowboy reached under a pile of blankets
and drew out a neat roll of parchment,
daintily tied with a violet ribbon. It
was a sheepskin, an Amherst degree.
The cowboy's name was Edward Robin
son. He was "Blood and Thunder
Kid," the bloodiest, most unprincipled
and most reckless cut -throat outside
the Lincoln jail. The story of the
cowboy's life was soon told. .His com
panions in college were evil. He looked
upon the wine when it was red. He
got his degree by a terrible brace
He became a ranchman, a cowboy, i
cut-throat.

The Ink Plant.
New York Star.
There is in New Grenada a plant,
Cor: la Ihymifoha, which might be
danterous to our ink manufacturers if
it could be acclimatized to Europe. It
is known nnder the name of ink plant.
Its juice, chanchi, can be used in
writing without any previous prepara
tion. The letters traced by it are of a
reddish color at first, but turn to a
deep black in a few hours. The juice
also spoils steel pens less than common
ink. The qualities of tlie plant seem to
have been discovered under the .Span

were almost illegible, tho.se with the

J. E. Ralph in San Francisco Chronicle.
One of the first impressions that a stranger
on a visit to this city gets is that it is a ren
table New Jerusalen a city full of Jews.
You seem to meet Jews or be reminded of
them wherever you turn. Take Broadway,
for instance. You notice that nearly all the
signs bear foreign names, and that while
some are Irish, some Polish, some French or
Italian, the great majority are German. Look
asr&ln and vou see that nine-tenths of the
Germans are German Jews. You can tell
that by the faces in the doorways, and there
are Jews, too, under the signs bearing the
names of either nationalities. Turn down
one block to Church street, ths main thor
oughfare of the great dry goods district,
with its towering piles of marble, iron, and
brownstone, holding such treasure that a
fire scarcely ever destroys a building there
without its beinz reckoned a million-dollar
conflagration. There are SO0.XXJjQ0O of in
surance risks on that little district.
THE HOSTS OF ISRAEL.
Why, you say to yourself, nearly every
face iu the stores is a Jew's face nearly
every firm's sign is made up of Jews' names.
See the great palaces of the clothiers, the
biggest and showiest stores in the metropolis
seven in ten are owned by Jews, v uat a
raft of Jews there is on Wall street, with the
great bouse of Seligman at their head. What
a hold tbe Jews have on the amusement
trade, from Rudolf Aronson, tbe musical
caterer, and Theodore Moss, treasurer of
Wallack's theatre, down to the firm of Morris
& Hickman of the principal Bowery museum.
What scores of rich Jew lawyers there are.
What a place tbe Jews hold in the brewing
trade. Why, there is a noted Jew pugilist ;
there are several Jew burglars; the biggest
receiver of stolen goods in the United States
is Mother Mandelbaum, a Jewess, and Ru
dolph, the billiard expert, is a Jew. Two
daily morning newspapers belong to Jews
and every daily paper numbers Jews among
its editors and reporters. Everybody M ho
buys a pack of playing cards anywhere in
the United States pays tribute to a Jew, a
Mr. Cohen. The great markets are full of
Jews and the big east-side slaughter-bouse
district is wholly composed of Jews. The
most singular street in New York, Division
street, which presents a long line of millinery
stores side by side, without any other sorts of
stores to interrupt the singular array, is ex
clnsively a street of Jews.
A CITY WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
Lexington avenue, one of the choicest resi
dence streets" of the city, lined with fine
bouses, is a Jews'' street, and tbe adjacent
blocks of the side streets are almost given up
to Jews. What sort of a firm went bankrupt
the other day and gave about 1.CK),000
preference to creditors tbe largest sum of
preferred credits ever fixed upon! A Jew
cloth house. "Who married the fat woman!
A Jew boy. Jews have built churches here
hardly surpassed in cost or beauty. There Is
no more libera), extensive or noble charity
than tbe Jewish hospital, tbe Mount Sinai
No class spends more to support the opera
or to make art flourish here than the Jews.
I don't care where you go or what you do in
New York, whether it be to walk or ride, to
shop or visit, buy or sell, to be amused or
leu, 3ou win c e sure to meet Jews at your
elbows, by j-our side, behind th. counters,
tbe desk, tbe box offices, in police uniforms.
clubs you had better quit New York if you
have got any silly prejudice against tbe
chosen people of God.
WHY THEY SUCCEED.
x et all this effect is produced by about
100,000 Jews. It is less than one-tenth of the
population that has managed to assert itself
so as to stamp New York as the Jew's para
dise. It nas happened that there are a dozen
reasons why Jews should remain with us, es
tablish industries, build homes, found chari
ties, mingle with Christians and identify
themselves with Gotham as they have not
done with any other city in the world except
London. : They have come to New York
because it is the business centre and affords
the most opportunities for turning over and
making money. They have put themselves
forward as they have not done else
where, even in London, not only because
this is the principal city in a free coun
try, without any established church of
its own, but because they have found that
whatever prejudices may exist against them
in tbe minds of individuals, there is no gen
eral or popular expression of that feeling.
We New Yorkers, whetner we be Jews or
Gentiles, are Very fond of saying that there is
no public spirit here. Nobody cares what
blockheads or scoundrels are elected to form
our city government; nobody cares whether
we have the Bartholdi statue of "Lib
erty" or not; nobody cares whether
Central park is being neglected or
beautified; nobody cares whether our har
bor is being gradually filled up with the
garbage our servants are too lazy or corrupt
to carry out to sea; nobody in New York
cares for anybody but himself. "Hurrah for
me, and you go to the devil !" is tbe motto of
tbe New Yorker. Everybody says that of us
and we have little doubt that it is time.
IXBXUENTIAr, JEWS.
Well, see how that works in the case of a
Jew. If he settles down in an inland country
town tho children hoot him in the streets and
peg stones at bis store windows. His custom
is confined to tbe poor and ignorant, to whom
he sells the lowest grades of goods at the low
est line of prices. There is no Christian door
open to bim, no Christian hand extended
towards him, and at tbe same time there is
no Jewish community with its Hebrew
tongue and synagogue to make him feel that
he belongs to a body of influence with a com
mon to te rest to bind it together. Let him
come to New York. Nobody will hoot at
him or stone bis windows. That is the fate of
the latest and most odd and weakest comer
tbe Chinaman. A Jew does not at
tract attention. A hundred of them
with bags on tbeir backs and
beards to their waists, all walking
together up Broadway, would not
excite r- nark. ' Our Jew son sees that and
walks more proudly and goes about his
work with more confidence. Next he finds
bis fellow-Jews honored in every commer
cial calling. He finds them lavish and they
take him into splendid homes, let bim share
pews with them in palatial synagogues
on Murray mil. lie reads the names or
Jews among the guests at public dinners.
He subscribes to Jews' newspapers, gets
Jews' meat with ease wherever he
may live, runs across Jews everywhere
and actually finds that they are treated
so well in New York that the younger
men do . not understand how it is
that Jews are murdered and stoned and
hounded by the people in certain parts of
Europe. Better still, whate er be undertakes
or wherever he goes, he meets ten Christians
to one Jew and he observed that they buy
and sell with him. invite him to lunch with
them, to drink with them, to ride with them.
Once in a while he hears a Christian say that
some of the best friends be ban in tbe world
are Jews. Our Jew son comes to the con-
elusion that bis feet bave fallen into pleasant
paths. If be has good qualities in him they
are developed and asserted. Some of the
best Jews in the world (and the nicest people
in tbe world in many respects are your fine
Jews) are to be found in this modern Jeru

sons of the murdered millionaire, were for
years considered tbe handsomest young men
in New York. Look at the young Hebrews
in the theatres, the music halls, tbe billiard
rooms, the clubs. See how fashionable and
costly is their dress. S how they fling their
money about
JEWS WHO ARE NOT STINGY.
You say all Jews are stingy. These young
swells are not. You say that if they spend a
dollar they expect to make five by it. That
may be so in business, but Lord! Lord! here
they are spending money like water on each
other for drinks, for women's smiles, for
seats at the play, for extravagant dinners.
To tell the troth, I wonder what their old
fathers who began life with a peddler s pack
or a second-Dana ciotnes snop wouia say u
they could see tbe young bucks as I see them
constantly in the vortex of fashion, or pleas
ure, or sin up town late at night. And yet,
on tbe other hand, we New Yorkers have ob
served that a Jew will be as close as the door
of a burglar-proof safe, denying himself not
only the luxuries but some of the very
common-places, until he can afford to do tbe
other thing, and then, presto! he has a palace
on Murray Hill, costly pictures, a corps or
servants, dancing, and French and music
masters for h's children and sealskins and a
pbeeton for his wife. .
haMly Work In Photography.
fChicago Time
"Have you had much to do in the way of
photographing dead people!"
"A great deal In fact, at one time I made
a specialty of that line, and I'll tell you how
I came to do it. Wheu I first came to
Chicago, business was dull, and I got poor.
One day, when pushed to tny wits' ends for
money, I was struck with an idea which I
have followed out successfully ever since,
ine aeatn columns of tbe morning news
papers were carefully gone over, and when
the funeral was advertised fium au humble
neighborhood I was usually sure of a $5 bill
I visited tbe houses and offered to photo
graph tbeir dead. Out of a dozen visits I
would probably get one job. In a couple of
years my reputation grew, and finally I
came to be almost as frequently sent for as
the minister.- Only last June a messenger
came from a South Chicago family, desiring
me to photograph tbeir dying father. When
I got there he was too far gone, and I
had to wait Half an hour after the
old gentleman had breathed his last, and
before he became stiff we had bim sitting in
a chair, with his eyes held open with stiff
mucilage between tbe lids and brow, and his
legs crossed. He made a very good picture.
I once photographed two children sisters
who had died the same day of diphtheria
They were posed with their arms about each
other's necks. An Irish family livinar in
Bridgeport called on me about a year ago to
take a picture of their dead son a young
man with his high beaver hat on. It was
necessary to take the stiffened corpse out of
the ice-box and prop it against the wall, Tbe
effect was ghastly, but tbe family were de
lighted, and thought tbe hat lent a lifelike
appearance to the picture. Sometimes, and
at tbe suggestion of the family, I have filled
out tbe emaciated cheeks 6Y dead people
with cotton to make them look plump. The
eyes are nearly always propped open with
pins or mucilage, but when people can afford
to engage an artist it is an easy matter to
paint tbe eyes afterward. Some time ago I
took a picture of a dead man who bad been
scalded to death. It was a full length photo
graph, and an artist was engaged to nil out
burns on bis face and then make a copy in

feller. The big duffer could 'a eat the leetle
feller up, clothes and all. but the first
thing be done was to pull one of these
aid pot-metal knives and jab the blade into
the leetle fellers neck. It went in right
alongside the jugular, and then it bent kinder
around and under it. When the big fellow
went to pull it out he ripped the leetle feller's
jugular right square in two, and you oughter
Jeed the blood fly. It squirted about twenty-

there was one of them mountai i doctors
there, and to look at him you'd think he
lidn't know a jugular vein from a trombone.
'Stand back,' said he, 'eive me a . chance at

his last. He pulled out of bis pocket some
thin' as looked like a crooked darnin' needle,
and then be fished around in the wound until
he caught hold of both ends of the jugular
vein and pulled 'em out. Then be tied the
ends tight with a piece of thread to keep the
blood from squirtin' out until an old feller in
the crowd whittled down a pipe-stem to make
it fit in the jugular. When it was shaved

the pipe-stem and tied tbe ends of the vein

Mr. Peter Mallen, 212 W. Twenty-fourth
street. New York, says that he suffered six
years with rheumatism and found no re
lief until St. Jacobs Oil. the sovereign
remedy, was applied, which cured him
soiapletely.
BENEFICIENT
Two recognized epochs of human - life
have been completed since we began this
work. It is meet that we make a halt,
loner, enoucrh at least to take note of the
reoion ovpr which we have journeyed,
and to examine the horizonwhich opens
up to us.
Twice seven years ago one of us started
single-handed to Inaugurate and develop
a new use; at once scientiful and practical,
professional and commercial, business-like
and beneflcient. They only who have
tried it know the difficulties to be encoun
tered in creating an entirely new business
and securincr its recocnized entrance into
the rank and file of business. That we
have done this o-ives us the riizht to speak,
For eight years this single-handed work
was prosecuted. The operator had a con
viction that in the Compound Oxygen he
found the mode of redeeming his fellow
men from the sufferings of disease, more
potent and benign than the world had ever
seen. This inspired him with the courage
to abandon a lucrative practice which he
had been twelve years in building, and to
overcome all obstacles in the way of realiz
ing his dream of nrovintr to the world
that his conviction was securely founded
That this has been fully accomplished.
thousands of people either cured or made
ncner in greatly improvea neaun siana
ready to testify.
Sixteen years ago the senior partner had
his attention called to a few persons who
were taking the Compound Oxygen. They
declared that they were improving with
satisfaction. kHe felt sure they were being
stimulated; and that, consequently,, they
would soon show the effect or all stimula
tion, and retroerade below the point of
health at which they began the treatment.
By carefully watching the cases for sev
eral months, nis prediction failed of veri
fication in a single case. He then induced
several of his own patients eases which
any physician weula have considered very
doubtful under any system or meaication
to try the effect of the Compound Oxy
een. With surprise he watched them
making commendable speed health ward.
He put members of his own family under
treatment, ana witn like gooa results.
All this provoked a conflict in his mind.
He had proof that in the Compound Oxy
gen there was an agent that would cure
many sick ones wnose condition wouia
baffle the medical skill of any physicians
whom he knew. And many others whom
he might cure in six or twelve months
would get well in as many weeks under
the action of that agent.
Now the question forced itself upon his
mind andperemptorily demanded an an
swer: "What are you goina' to do with
this latter class of patients, who confide to
your care the restoration of their health?
As a faitnrui physician is it not your auty
to take the surest and shortest way to se
cure to them that for which they are pay
ing you!" Well, what is the proposition?
"Evidently, send such patients wnerp you
know they can be better served than they
can be under your care and ministration. '
But that would be suicidaL "No, the pro
portion of such patients would be small."
True, but the public will not discriminate.
They will see only that the. doctor sends
nis patients elsewnere to be curea, ana
therefore, he lacks confidence in his medi
cal skilL "Well, there is one way out of
the dilemma; get possession of the super
ior curative agent and thus make peace
with your professional conscience and
Erove yourself a mend or siuienng
umanity." What, and be jeered by
one's friends, and tabooed by one's
professional brethren? "That appears
to be about the price, nut wnat is
the alternative?" Result: He gives up
bis hard-earned practice, secures at great
price the knowledge of and the right to
administer the Compound Oxygen in this
city. ... . .
This included only the omce treatment
in Philadelphia. Soon he was exercised
by the fact that the operasion of an office
business was very . limited. Something
must be done to dispense the blessing far
and wide. Accordingly, at no little ex
pense, he hastened to make known to his
professional brethren the virtues of Com
pound Oxygen and to furnish them with
outfits for administering it. As he ought
to have known would be the case, his ef
forts excited ridicule and reproaches.
Nothing daunted, he entered upon a long
series of experiments, which resulted in
the conviction that there was a much bet
ter method of accomplishing the end in
view than the one which had failed.
Hence the widely known Home Treat
ment. In this untried field he Jabored for a
year, meeting many failures in his experi
ments, working hard at details, and creat
ing a literature which the work absolutely
required. On the last of June, ten years
ago, the practaouity oi tne enterprise was
demonstrated. But he had exhausted his
resources, broken his health, and almost
sacrificed his life. The ship was built and
launched, but three years' struggle proved
to him that he could not freight and man
it. Six and a half years ago he- found a
man who could appreciate the value of the
work in hand. Our united forces have
fulfilled the brightest hopes of the pioneer.
A new departure wastneorderot tne daj
The first and essential thintr to be done
was tol let those who needed our curative
agent know that we were In possession of
It. Knowing mat many iortunes nave oeen
sunk in advertising, we decided to put that
part of the business into the hands of one
whose skill and experience bad been
proven. It is enough to say that the
methods which he adopted have revolu
tionized important branches of advertis
ing.
From the outset we have dealt truthfully
witn tne sunenng sick, realizing tnat tiey
at least had a right to demand such deal-
in tr. We knew that we had a curative
axrent superior to any other in the world.
and, therefore, the simple truth about it
would be the best credentials it could have;
hence we were not tempted to invent tes
timonials, nor to steal genuine ones, nor
to romance on any.
The crrowtn of tho business has been
phenomenal. During the first year the
business doubled each month. During
the last four years we have recorded in
our books, statements of diseeses, reports
of progress, repeated advice and presenp.
tions. of over twenty thousand persons,
Much more could be said in proof of the
success of our work as a commercial en
terprise: but let this suffice. It is of much
greater importance to prove that our pro
fessional success nas exceeded tne other,
What have we to show in this direc
tion? Uuring those xmmeen years we
bave treated thirty thousand patients.
Among these a large proportion had been
sick for vears. They had exhausted the
skill of the best physicians of all schools, dif
ferent sanitariums, various natural health
ersorts, shops of nostrum mongers and
months of hygienic traveling, in many
of these cases it has cost more to remove
the baleful effects of the treatment prac
ticed on them, than those of the original
disease. How many of them have Tbeen
desperate cases may be inferred from the
fact that we have filled scores of orders
sent unconditionally in which the patient
had passed beyond the reach or any rem
edy on its arrival. And out of this un
promising multitude, ninety per cent have
been either cured or greatly benefitted.
We have proved that a number of dis
eases which bv common consent have been
assigned to the category of "incurables,"
no longer belong there. We have cured a
number of cases of Bright's disease. Two
of these cases were brothers, whose father,
one brother and one sister had died of the
same disease, we have treated four cases
of Loco-motor ataxia, or progressive par-
a us is. In all of these the progress or the
disease has been arrested (which no sys
tem of medication has ever been known
to do), and the patients have made genu
ine progress towards health. We almost
never fail to cure asthma even of fifteen
years' standing unless the case has been
spoiled by the use of narcotics; -which
served as palliatives, but constantly ag
gravated the disease. The same can be
said of the "opprobrium medendi," hay
fever. The cases of consumption con
firmed phthisis which the Compound Ox
ygen has cured can be counted by scores.
We are confident that we make more pen-
utnc cures of . catarrh nasal laryngial,
bronchial and pulmonary than all the
catarrh specialists in the country.

REVIEW OF A OBEAT AND
WOSK.
A. Livermore, who had been disabled for
nearly two years by a dangerous exhaust
ion of the brain, has for a year and a half
been prosecuting her professional work
with more ease and energy - than ever
before. The Hon. W. D. Kelley, the
iather or tbe JNational House or Kepre
sentatives, will tell any one that he owes
the last ten years oi his me to Com
pound Oxygen ; and it . can hardlv be
disputed that during this period his labors
have not been surpassed by those of
any other member of Congress. Wil
liam Perm Nixon, of the Chicago Inter'
Ocean, says that he owes his life and some
years of his active usefulness to the virtues
of Compound Oxygen. The public know
very well the unqualified testimony which
Mr. T. S. Arthur has borne in favor of
the Compound Oxygen as exhibited in his
own case.
But why multiply examples? We have
published many hundred statements in
the patients' own language of the effects
of Compound Oxygen in almost every
kind of disease.
Now what of the future? Having ac
complished what we have, and against
such odds, our progress hence-forward
should be broader, more successful and
more beneflcient. As was to have been
expected, proprietors of sanitariums and
health resorts, whose business has been
diverted from them by the popularity of
the Compound Oxygen, try to snow that
our agent is inert. But until they can
rationally account for the thousands of
wonderful cures effected by it, their ti
rades are in vain. Of course there are
and there will probably be more imitat
ors of the Compound Oxygen. ; Some
have alreadv stolen our title, our litera
ture, and even our testimonials. One of
them having obtained from William Penn
Nixon an opinion of Compound Oxygen
in his own case, now publishes it as
though Mr. Nixon was cured by his treat
ment instead of ours! bome or those
agents may be innocuous ; but we have
a good reason to believe that many of
them are positively injurious. They will
have their day.
But despite all factious opposition Com
pound Oxygen must become increasingly
popular, so long as it possesses the abil
ity to effect such remarkable cures as now
attest its merit. -

treatment and its use, address
