The case was attended by our physician, nnd wai upposed to lie wtdl under control. One night I was startled bv Hie child's hard breath injft and on going to it found It stran gling. It had nearly censed to breathe. Realizing that the child's nlai niintr condition had become possible in spire of the medicines given, I reasoned Mint such remedies would e of no avail. Having part of a bottle ol Ayer's Cherry Pectoral Jn the house, I gnve the child three (loses, at. short intervals, and anxiously waited results. From the moment the Pectoral was given, the child's breathing grew easier, and, in a shrt time, she was sleeping quietly nnd breathing naturally. The child Is alive and wdl to-d;tv. tmd 1 do not hesitate to say that Ayer's Cherry Sec toral saved her life." AVER'S Cherry Pectoral Prepared by Dr. J.C.Ayr&Co., Lowell, Hum. Prompt to act, cure to cur HIS CLIENT WAS GUILTY. An Indiana Lawyer's IMscovcry After Se curing a Counterfeiter's Acquittal. Several years afro, when Judge Francis J. Reinhard, the well-known German lawyer of Indiana polib, was a young but enthusiastic attorney practicing at Crown Point, says tho Indianapolis Sentinel, ho was called in to defend a man charged with circu lating counterfeit money. Ho tallied with the accused several times in jail and became impressed with the idea that tho man was honest and was litterally bcin-j outraged fcy the authorities. Jlr. Itcinhard entered into tho case with characteristic earn estness and prepared h mself thorough ly to make the defense. When the case came to preliminary hearing tho lawyer made a torrille fight and se cured the discharge of his client. Out side the courtroom, after the trial, the client buttonholed Lawyer Reinhard and, leading him into an alley out of sight of the gaping crowd, paid him his fee with ten silver dollars. Then with tears in his eyes ho thanked the lawyer and went his way. Mr. Uein hard immediately proceeded to the ofilce of a friend to wl om ho owed a debt of sixty-five cent:? nnd tendered one of his newly-made dollars. "Say, Frank," said tho friend, after an investigation of tho monay, "this dollar is counterfeit." "You're certainly mistaken." replied Lawyer Itcinhard, "I just took it as part of a fee from n man whom I am confident is honent and perfectly relia ble. I am not easily mistaken in my estimate of the character of my clients. " "That may all be so," replied tho friend; "but this money is spurious just the same, and to prove it we will just go over to the bank." Thereupon tho gentlemen went to the bank, not far away, and laid down the dollar, asking for change. The teller, an elderly and conservative man, adjusted a monocle to his eye, gazed long and earnestly at the coin and then shoved it back through the window with the remark: "Gentlemen, wo don't take such money as that here. It is a rank coun terfeit." Judge Remhurd at that time, as now, was very gentlemanly in diction and manner, but he couldn't help himself, and with the one expression: "Well, I'll be d d," turned on his heel and went out on the street. Every last one of the silver dollars he hud worked so hard to earn was a counterfeit, and within a short time thereafter his hon est client was sent to the prison south for five years for making and circulat ing crooked money. HOW COYOTES HUNT. They Take Tarns In Chiislng; the Fleet footed Juek Xtabhlts "Did you ever see a pack of coyotes a-rustliu' for grub?" asked an old miner of a reporter of the Moreno (Col.) In dicator. "I've lived on the desert for nigh onto thirty years," he resumed, "and seed many a queer sight, but coy otes a-rustlin' for grub bents them all. Them animals nrn ns well trained as any body of soldiers ever was under lien. Grant. They elect a captain, whether by drawing straws or by bal lot, I don't recollect off-hand. Just at daylight a reveille calls tho pack to gether, and they come yelpir,' and howliu' over the desert like a lot of things possessed, their appetites sharp ened by the crisp air and eager for their regular diet of jerked rabbit meat. The avnnt-couriers sn:ff around among the sngebmdi nnd grouseweed, while the rest of the bnnd form into a big circle, sometimes spremlin' out on the plain over a radius of two or three miles. The couriers head n iack rabbit in the circle and the coyote nearest takes up tho chase. i "You know a jack-rabbit can run ten times fasten than a coyote, and' when the one in pursuit gets tuckered out the next one takes up the chaso, and so on till the jack falls down dead from exhaustion. Then tho whole pack leap onto him, their jaws r.nappin' like shecpbhules in shearin' time. Then when the jack is disposed of another reveille is sounded aud the pack nguin forms Into a circle and the circus is kept up until every ono of the yclpin' yeller devils has satisfied his appetite, sometimes killin' hundreds of jacks nnd cottontails for one meal, fur a coy ote can eat a jack as big as himself and then look asif he was clean starved to death. I was clean through the late unpleasantness with Gen. Grant, and I know what scientific gcueralin' is, aud them coyotes know as much as any soldiers that ever lived about army tactics. The commuuder in chief is usually the oldest covote in the pack, and he sits on a knoll where ho can give orders to his lieutenant i and aids, and what they don't know about nm buscudes, miineuverin' and Held tactics ain't worth kuowin'." Th. rreililt-ut's Right, tn ('tn?r.B. i Thi- prrsiiloiit of tlto l iiltctl States hns no ponionnl rights in tin- liimse of rvprOM'iitativos, rays tho V, iii.liuiirtoii Tost, llo inn iii'iui it mossum-a. but it is not oblipri'il t.) oxti'iiil any i-ourtt-sios in tho way of qnurti-rs on t!io tloor. No doubt ho would bo courteously treated If he should com, but he u.ver i has come during th irouular iearlsla tiro sessions and probably never will, liut in the senate it is different. The relations between the president and the upper chamber are close and con fidential. It passes upon his nomina tions, and can be very agreeable or disagreeable if it sets out. There is a president's room there, and he has a right to come into the chamber and deliver his message in person if he sees fit. President Madison appeared in the senate frequently. Curing ex ecutive osessions there is a chair for the president beside the vice presi dent's, though it docs not get warmed with any frequency. It is one of the traditions of the senate that the presi dent has a right to take possession of the vice president's chair while he is delivering a message, but no president has ever availed himself of the right, and that small boon is still left the second officer of the government. RICH FIELD FOR EXPLORERS. The Kulns of Two Ore.t Prehistoric Cities Found in Central Asia. In central and eastern Asia there lies an unexplored region full of inter est, and to the arclueologist especially, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. A great traveler and clever writer, the Russian Gen. Prjevalsky, speaking of the oasis of Tchertchen, situated in the great table lands hemmed in by the there un broken wall of the Himalayas, says that close to it are the ruins of two great cities, the oldest of which, ac cording to local tradition, was de stroyed three thousand years ago, and the other by the Mongolians in the tenth century of our era. The em placement of the two cities is now cov ered, owing to the shifting sands and desert winds, with strange and hetero geneous relics, broken china, kitchen utensils and human bones. The na tives often find copper and gold coins, ingots, diamonds and turquoises, and. what is most remarkable, broken glass. Collins of some undecaying wood or material are there also, within which beautifully preserved embalmed bodies are found. The male mummies are all enormously tall, powerfully built men. with long, wavy hair. A vault was found with twelve dead men sitting in it. Another time in a seperate coffin a young girl was found by us. Her eyes were closed with golden disks and the jaws held firm by a golden circlet run ning from under the chin across the top of the head. Clad in a narrow woolen garment, her bosom was cov ered with golden stars, her feet being left naked. To this the lecturer adds that all along the way on the River rchertehen they heard legends about twenty-three towns buried years ago by the sands of tho desert. The same tradition exists on the Lob-nor and in the oasis of Kcrva. Mrau. Illavatsky, who was in the earlier part of her life a great and in defatigable traveler, covering more ground in a given time than is usually accomplished by even those of the sterner and more enduring sex, bears witness also to those ancient ruins, which she openly avers are prehistoric; the pages of her works also make fre quent reference to other ruins of an cient character scattered throughout the desert regions of Central Asia. She hints, too, at buried crypts and under ground vaults in the desert of Gobi, in particular, in which are stored many of the preserved records of the ages. However this may be, the ruins de scribed are certainly in place awaiting the organized efforts of science to re cover for the world a long-forgotten page in the history of the peoples of the globe. Or, as in the case of Troy, private enterprise may step in and, continuing the investigations begun by the Russian traveler, read this rid dle of a bygone civilization aright. A TACTFUL EMPRESS. The Pretty Act of the Sweet-Natured Empress nf Japan. The empress of Japan, being that sweetest of all creatures, a womanly woman, has upon many occasions open ly evinced her deep interest in the wee oues of Japan, giving freely to all in stitutions that exist to benefit them in any way even practicing all sorts of touching little economies that she may be able to swell her contributions to certain churities that most interest her. The conduct of this Ideal woman up on a certain sad occasion her devoted I subjects are never weary of describing. Prince Iwaukura, fearless Japanese leader in tho momentous days of the crisis from which the lovely archi pelago is still trembling in Its sub sidence to what seems assured stabili tylay dying in his yashiki. The empress announced her intention of paying Iwaukura a visit in person. The poor prince, weak, and, as I have said, about to die, was thrown into a dangerous state of excitement upon re ceiving the news, but he managed to borrow from some hidden nervous force sutUcient strength to grasp his writing box and brushes aud to paint her an ur gent but most respectful request not to think of coming to him. He forced upon her as excuse for de clining so great an honor the fact of his rupully-approaching death, and his consequent iuability to acknowledge her visit with even a sixteenth part of the homage it demanded. He begged her to kindly consider how ill he must be when it remained nn impossibility to throw off the malady even for her entertainment In reply, winged with speed, came a dear little missive whose import was as follows: "I come not as your empress, but as the daughter of your fond well wisher and coadjutor, sad as your own anx ious friend." Shorn of all ostentation and display, the empress arrived and remained be side her grateful subject until his final suminons. Some years ago, when the imperial palace was burned, the unselfish em press, amid all the excitement and dis comfort site was for the nonce called upon to endure in a hasty flight to a comfortless old yashilta, thinking first of her subjects' natural concern for her comfort, sat down and wrote them a duinty little rnyme, which proclaimed as erroneous the report that she had changed her residence. It coyly as serted that her home had always been in the henrts of her people, and that she sincerely hoped that neither by Uame nor cold could she be driven from the dear abode. N. Y. Journal.
