A PEIZE IN THE LOTTERY
Of life which is usually unappreciated un
til it is lost, perhaps never to return, is
health. What a priceless boon it is, and
how we ought to cherish it, that life may
not be a worthless blank to us. Many ol
the diseases that flesh is heir to, and
wnicn maxe me burdensome, such as
consumption (scrofula of the lungs)
and other scrofulous and blood diseases,
find a complete cure in Dr. It. V. Pierce's
"Golden Medical Discovery" when all
other remedies have failed. Dr. Pierce's

TH E FOX GOT AWAY.
How Mrs. Seori:sry Chandler Shocked
Washington Sncl. ty and Savuf. Keynard's
; Life.. - : , -:l 'v.:'-.
For a wei'k pat the society journals
have been full of os? p about a fox
hunt which was to tak? place at Gen
eral Bfal's farru, I wo or thr.e miles
outride thti e.tv. Cabinet Ministers'
wives, ,the ladies of Senators' fan lies
talked about it at their receptions, and
;tioung men about town discussed it
at their Piubs. Several Voting laili
amongst wnuluT, LrrntTr'Siry aril " s
daughter, wen; going to follow the
hounds as far as' they could.: wh le their
escorts, Lieutenant l'Jmory, of the
navy. William Kustis and adoz.ni other
gents y.th aristocratic narajs, were to
do the tough cro s-country riding and
be in at the deaih. " '
The wretched fox which was to fur
nish th amusement was exaibited in a
cage in a . Ninth street fchop w ndow,
and wa nearly frightened to death by
the crowds whicli gathered around.
Mrs. Secretary "Chan Jler, however,
though a friend of the-, hunters, is a
member of the S. P. C. A. She d s
approved of the sport, and this morn
ing a card in the. newspapers gave
notice that arrests would follow if it
were attempted.
- Society was terribly exercised, but
the young gen lera m nnd ladies stood
the r ground, and a number of them
gathered near the Arlington Hotel
the time announced to-day, ready to
ride to the starting point, when an
agent of the Humane Society bore
down upon 1 hem. He was astride a
very melancholy looking animal, with
cropped ears, "very conspicuous ribs
and a bob tail.
In sp;te of the manifest desire ot the
gentlemen to avoid him, he managed
to make h's horse shamble up to one of
them, and announced that he was go
ing along. They started iip Connecti
cut avenue at a lively ga't, but by
bie.ik ng the rules of the society he
managed to keep well in the rear, and
with a horde of . small boys following
behind, added plenty of excitenuat, if
not pleasure, to the expedition.
Most of the passers-by thought "the
fox hunt had already begun. Miss
Bayard and one or two other ladies,
handsomely mounte I and followed by
grooms, joined them at the head of the
avenue and then the whole cavaleado
rode rapidly out into the country.
They reache i the rendesvous in a short
time, but not quickly enough to shut
the gates on the uninvited guests, and
a consnlta ion was decided on.
I Tne gentlemen W'ere for- go'ng on
with the hunt, but the lad.es ha.i . the
tt;rroisof the l'ol ce Court before them,
and beg.etl that they would g v. it up.

"I ih nk I will take some of the one
