A Losing Joke.
"A prominent physician of rittsburg said to
' a lady patient who was complaining of her
continued ill health, and of his Inability to
cure her, jokingly said: "Try Hop Hitters'"
The lady took it in earnest and used the Hit-
ten, from which she obtained permanent
health. She now laughed at the doctor for his
'joke, but he is not no well pleased with it, & it
cost turn a good patient.
Fees of Doctors.
The fee of doctors at $3.00 a visit
would tax a man for a year, and in need
of a daily visit, over $1,000 a year for
medical attendonce alone! And one sin
gle bottle of Hon Bitters taken in time
would save the $1,090 and all the year's
sickness.

A MARVELOUS GAS-WELL.
Abandoned as Worthless, but Now Sending:.
Forth a Mighty Stream of Gas.
The most extraordinary natural gas-
tvell yet discovered in Western Pcnns 1
ran:a has been developed an e'glith of
a mile from the borough limits of Butler.
This well is located on a summit over
looking the town and at the end of
High street, the principal thoroughfare.
Tho Butler Mutual Fuel Gas Compa-'
ny, composed of certain individuals,
Theodore and Augustus Jack, formerly
of Philadelphia; Dav'.d Kirk and Jo-'
Beph Dilworth, of Pittsburgh, and J. E.
Dean, of Ocean, N. Y., obtained a
chafer in 1883 from the Commonwealth
for operations in natural gas in Butler
County. The company In the spring of
IS-ii leased an acre" of ground on the
summit Solely for gas purposes. Tho
f as-sand was piercod at the depth of
,2C0 feet Very little fluid was discern
ible. The drill penetrated the rock and
an increase was apparent When the
rock was bored through all the gas
found probably might nave fired one
boiler. The company, however, deter
mined to drill deeper in search for oil,
as the strata was regular and corre
sponded in character to similar wells in
the Butler County field, where oil in
paying quantities had been found. The
"hundred foot" rock was reached at
1,403 feet, where an immense salt-water
vein appeared.
Tho oil-bearing rock was pierced at
the depth of l,6uy feet The drillings
and sediment, that were sand pumped
out of the well, were highly impregnated
with the smell of oil. At 1,775 feet op
crating ceased. The well was plugged
with iron and wood below the oil-sand
and above tho "hundred foot" for the
purpose of preventing the salt water from
doing injuryto the oil rock. The enter
prise was abondoned as a lamentable
failure. Thirty-five hundred dollars had
been expended.
Seven months rolled by and the com
pany within the past fortnight disposed
of their right to the claim and interest
in the material and lease to Edward
Rigncy & Co. upon reasonably cheap
terms. The new company "rigged up
on All Fools' Day, and on last Thursday
morning were funning the boiler in
order to exhaust the salt water and sed
iment. The pressure of salt water ag
gregated 8,000 pounds on the gas and
oil rocks, where the fluid existed. The
well was reduced of its salt water 150
feet from the derrick floor, when a rum
bling noiso was audible to the work
men. Presently the salt water bubbled
over the top of the hole, the sound
grew fiercer, water would rise and in
tercede interchangeably with gas until
it went up tnrough the derrick over tho
crown pulley a height of eighty feet,
presenting an indescribable scene.
Vibrations produced by running the
boiler rod agitated tbe well and caused
the gas gradually to percolate the
fluid, when it discharged violently into
mid-air. The roar of gas caused the
earth to tremble within tho radius of
200 feet. The employes were knocked
about like ten pins. The roaring well
alarmed the neighborhood with the
marvel of a thousand guns fired at
midnight and the din wa3 beard for
miles away. The derrick was enveloped
in oily spray. Subsequent! v the salt
water was d"scharged, adjustments-
were perfected and the gas was Intro
duced into an iron casing fourtrea
inches in diameter. This runs out from
an aperture 100 feet, and at the extreme
end was ignited. A solid column of
flame, soventy-five feet high brilliantly
burns, unceasingly, in open air, day

GRANT.
Testimony to IIU AbiUty as an After-Dinner
Talker.
Senator Ingalls, in speakiug of Gen
eral Grant, said: "General Grant was
ono of the most entertaining after-dinner
talkers I ever knew. He was only
the silent man in crowds and at fmes
when flatterers tried to draw him out
and make him talk about himself. But
after dinner, with a few congenial
friends anywhere, he was ready, inter
esting, and often fascinating in convt-r-sation.
I recall especially one evening
when General Grant was President. It
was at a dinner-party he gave at the
White House. Among the guests were
a number of Seniors and General
Sheridan. Mrs. Grant and the ladies
had retired from the table and we were
smoking our cigars. General Grant
talked a great deal. He was in his
happiest mood, and I knew everybody
enjoyed him just as much as I did. I
don't know how it came about, but
linally we began to go backward and
talk of the time of life a mau would
most care to livo over again. Each
one mentioned some particular age
when life seemed brightest and most
desirable, and a period he would enjoy
to live the second t'me. Some turned
back to boyhood, others to early man
hood, with the pleasantest recollec
tions, while to some the present was
most satisfactory. 'And you. General;
what part of your life would you like
to live over again?' one of iho guests
asked of the President.
" General Grant dropped his chin on
his breast and was silent for a minute
or two. I can see him now, as we all
waited for hi3 answer and tried to read
it in his face, which, as usual, was a
sealed book. But we fully expected he
would choose that part of his life which
had been prosperous and great. He
lifted his head and said in a voice of
quiet decision that left no doubt of sin
cerity: " All of it. I should like to live all
of my life over again. Thero isn't any
part of it I bhould want to leave out.'
" I t-hall never forget the impression
his answer made on me, and I think it
impressed every one else. He was tho
only man in the room who was ready to
take the bitter with the sweet in his life.
Everyone of us had left out some par
ticular time of hardship and discourage
ment, when tho world seemed darkest.
Not one was bravo enough to face that
time again; and probably not one of us
had had such hard times and so much
of real adversity to begin with. I think
the most of us had be-run to prosper be
fore he was out of the woods. But
General Gi ant was the only man smok
ing his after-dinner cigar at tho White
House that evening who had the cour
age to live his whole life over aga!n."

A MINERALOgFCAL MISTAKE.
Gorgeous Visions Rudely Shattered II
was Only Glass.
Many are the visons of wealth thai
dance awhile before the enraptured eyes
of man and then fade into thin air. ii
there be anything to the aspect of whicr,
distance does not lend enchantment, it
is these same golden visions. But it is
only too often that a man sees riches
within his grasp only to bo again left in
poverty. These sago reflections, and
many others of a no less philosophic and
pessimistic character, crossed the mind
of the Times-Democrat reporter vwhc
yesterday beheld $30,000 of the world'
wealth vanish in tho twinkling of an eye.
It was early in the morning that the rep
resentativ of the fourth estate, on enter
ing tho Government building, was ap
pointed by the erenial representative ol
an extensive railroad exhibit who, with
a countenance in which mystery was
blended with pride, led the way to a
show-case filled with precious gems in
their pristine roughness. After sundrv
locks had been turned a small, bluish
ftebble was produced and handd ovei
or examination. Somewhat undecided
as to its character, the recipient ejacu
lated divers uncommittal exclamations,
but was promptly relieved from his in'
certitude by the statement: "That, sir,
is a sapphire of nearly thirty carats. In
form and quality it is excellent, and il
may be valued at $30,000."
Somewhat impressed, but still pre
serving that stolid indifference which
marks the true opnnoisseur, the scribe
entered upon a careful examination ol
Uie small stone, which was equivalenl
to so many reportorial pittances. II
was an oblong pebble, rounded as if by
attrition in a river's bed. Constant
contact with surrounding objects had
whitened tho outside, an J but a fainl
fnge of the blue within shone through.
On holding it up to the sun a cleat
azure, like the Italian sky sung of by
the poets, was observable. Iso flaw
was to be seen; In every respect it ap
peared "a gem of purest ray serene,"
and the pride evident in the face of the
exhibitor was easily pardoned by him
who had seen the stone.
But as a cloud suddenly dims the blue
sky, so was tho beauty of the gem
dimmed by the sudden appearance oi
the iconoclastic mineralogist, who, qot
content with admiring the color and
size, must needs try it with cold steel.
The owner looked on scornfully, the
reporter incredulously, the surrounding
throng breathlessly, while th knife
blade scraped on the noble gem. The
visiting mineralogist scraped once, ex
amined the stone again, dropped it sud
denly, remarking in cruel accents:
" Glass," and strode scornfully away.
The sapphire had faded into a prosaic
bit of broken bottle, or perhaps a relic
of tho blue-glass mania that permeated
the country some years ago. At any
rate its value had departed; a paltry
nickle formed a magnilicent equivalent
for what had erstwhile been equal to a
fortune. The owner looked blue as his
property, the crowd vanished, and the
click of the lock as the degraded jewel
was replaced was but a hollow mock
ery. N. O. Times-Democrat.

THE "PUMP."
A Creature. Who Is Drtcnted anil Feared
In I'olitn Circles.
There's the familiar pump, who makes
it the business of his or her life to rout
out every disagreeable circumstance
connected with every family, and retail
them round the neighborhood. People
speak of her or h'm a "knowing every
thing," but this supreme knowledge is
only gained by the greatest persever
ance and systematical pumping.
The pump is detested and feared; she
generally makes her attack upon the
youngest and softest member of a fam
ily, going to work after this fah;on.
Sho meets little Mary, whose brother
George has left the country (as she
thinks) suddenly and suspiciously.
After kissing the dear child, she takes
her into a shop, expends a penny on
sweets, then they walk hand in hand,
and the pumping commences:
"And so kind brother George has
gone away?"
"Yes."
"And dear little Mary is very sorrv.
isn't she? yes, I know she is; and how's
uju in ma.
"Quite well, thank vou."
"Ah, not quite well, of course, but
sho was very glad for poor George to
go, eh?
The pump glances sharply at tho
child, but the little face is unrullled, the
sweets are good, and just the suspicion
of a smile plavs around her lips.
"Oh, yes; because it was for his good,
you know."
"Ah, he left the bank rather sudden
ly, I think."
"I don't know, I did not see him."
The pump looks baffled and vexed
was it for this she wasted her substance
in pear drops? but she continues:
"And so poor mamma cried very
much, and dear papa was angry with
George?"
"xso, he wasn't; there was nothing to
be angry about"
"No, "dear? I thought you said that
when poor George came home unex
pectedly mamma cried and papa was
angry.'1'
The pump had met her mateh for
once; the child looks up aud laughs.
"I didn't say anything of the sort,
and George, told me to tell you, if you
asked any questions, that there's an
iron pump in our garden, and you can
exercise yourself there if you like."
Every one, I am sure, has met the
pump, that nuisance who would cork
screw herself into your every affair.

WHAT IS CATAKEH1
Catarrh is a muoo-purulent discharge eaused by the
presence and derelopment of the Tegetable paraaite
aimfba in the internal lining membrane of the nose.
This parasite is only dereloped under favorable circum
stances, and these are: Morbid state of the blood, as the
blighted corpuscle of tubercle, the germ poison of syphi
lis, merenry, toxremea, from the retention of the effete
matter of the skin, suppressed perspiration, badly ven
tilated sleeping apartments, and other poisons that are
germinated In the mood. 1 nese poisons keep tbe Internal
Hnine membrane of the nose in a constant state of irri
tation, ever ready for the deposit of the Beeds f these
germs, which spread up the nostrils and down the
fauces or back of throat, causing ulceration of the
throat; up the eustachian tubes, causing deafness; bur
rowing in the vocal cords, causing hoarseness; usurping
tbe proier structure ol tne nroncnlal tubes, ending in
uulmonarv consumution and death. I
Manv attemnts have been made to discover a cure for
this distressing disease by the use of inhalents and other
ingenious devices, but none or tnese treatments can do
a'particle of good until the parasites are either destroyed
or removed from the mucous tissue I
Borne time since a well known physician of forty years
standing, after much experimenting, succeeded in dis
covering the necessany combination oi ingredients which
never fails in absolutely and peymnnently eradicating
this horrible disease, whether standing for one year or
forty years. Those who may be suffering from tbe above
disease should, without delay, communicate with the

too Ions: to carrv home, and the old
woman had no implement with which
to break it up. A bright-faced lad of ejght
or ten years stood by and saw the trou
ble the old woman wa in. Ho consid
ered a moment, and then picked ijip a
paving stone and carried it out to tho
middle of the street Then he put one
end of the board on the stone and waited
results. A South Ferry stae rumbled
along down the street and rolled over
the board, breaking it off near the stone.
The old woman picked up the pieces
and the boy again put the end of tho
board nnon the stone. An express
wagon rolled by and left the board
feet shorter than it was before. Wa
two
ons
and stagos passed on, breaking up tho
board until the old woman had her arms
full of pieces. Then the boy carried tho
paving stone back to the gutter, pulled a
top out of his pocket, arid, whipping it
around the sidewalk, got in the way of

Is a precept easily preached, but not so

impossible to get up such a langh as will
