VEGETINE
FOR DROPSY.
I never shall
Forget the first Dose.
Providence.
Mr. H. R. Steve8 :
Dear Sir. I have been a great sufferer from
dropsy. I was confined to my house more than
a year. Six mouths of the time I was entirely
helpless, I was obliged to have two men help
me in and out of bed. I was swollen 19 inches
larger than my natural size around my waist. I
suffered all a man could and live. I tried all
remedies for Dropsy. I had three different doc
tors. My friends all expected I would die:
many nights I was expected to die before moru
ing. At last Vegetine was sent me by a friend.
I never shall forget the first dose. I could rea
lize its good effects from day to day ; I was get
ting better. After I had taken some 5 or 6 hot
ties I could sleep quite well of nights. I began
to gain now quite last. After taking some ten
bottles, I could walk from one part of my room
to the other. My appetite was good ; the Drop
sy had at this time disappeared. 1 kept taking
the Vegetine until 1 regained my usual health.
1 heanf of a great many cures by in-ing Vege
tine after I got out and was able to attend to
my work. I am a carpenter and builder. 1 will
alo say it has cured an aunt of my wife's of
Neuralgia, who had suffered for more than 20
years. She says she has not had any neuralgia
lor eight month. I have given it to one of my
children for Canker Humor. I have no doubt
in my mind it will cure any humor ; it is a great
cleanser of the blood ; it is safe to give a child.
1 will recommend it to the world. My father is
80 years old. and he savs there is nothing like it
to give strength and life to an aged person. I
cannot be too thankful for the une of if. I am,
Very gratefully yours, Jno. S. Nottagk.
All Diseasf.s of the Blood. If Veof.tine
will relieve pain ; cleanse, cure and purify such
diseases, restoring the patient to perfect health
after tryinir differert physicians, many reme
dies and suffering for years, is it not conclusive
proof , if vou are a sufferer vou can be cur. d?
Why is this medicine performing such great
cures? It works in the blood, in the circulating
fluid. Itcantrnlv be called the Great HUxtd
Purifier. The great source of disease originates
in tiie blood, and no medicine that does not act
directly upon it to purify and renovate, has any
just claim upon public attention.
VEGETINE
I OWE MY HEALTH
TO YOUR VALUABLE
VEGETINE.
Newport, Kv., Apr. 29, 1877.
Mr. II. R. Stevens :
Dear Sir, Having snffered from a breaking
out of Caiikeroux Sores for more than five years,
caused by an acciden t of a fractured bone,
which fracture ran into a running sore, and hav
ing used everything I could think of and nota
ing helped me, until I had taken six bottles of
your valuable medicine which Mr. Miller the
apothecary recommended very highly. The
sixth bottle cured me, and all I can say. is that
I owe my health to your valuable Vegetine.
Your most obedient servant.
ALBERT VON BOEDER.
"It is unnecessary for mo to enumerate the
diseases for which the Vkhktink should be
used. I know of no disease which will not ad
mit of its u.e, with good results. Almost innu
merable complaints are caused by poisonous se
cretions in the blood, which can be entirely ex
pelled from the system by the use of the vkh
ktinf.. When the blood is perfectly cleansed,
the disease rapidly yields; all pains cease;
healt hy action is promptly restored, and the pa
tient is cured."

O, theeweet lies lurk in kisses!
O. the charm of make-believe!
O, to be deceived sweet iMisa l-i.
Bliss still sweeter to deceive 1
What thou'll frrant, I know, my falreit.
Vowing-, Nay, I never must!"
I will trust whate'er thou aweareet,
I wiil swear what thou wilt trust.
The sea loomed wide, a shining flat.
The eve its parting- smile lent;
By the fls lermnn's lonosomu house we sat.
Alone we sat, and were silent.
Up rose the mist, the surg-es rose.
The sea-mew kept round us sailing-.
And tears lell thickly and fast from those
Sweet eyes with a gentle wailing.
Upon thy hand I saw them fall.
And there on my knees 1 sank down;
From thy white hand I saw them fall.
These tears I kissed and drank down.
Since then I have withered away, for years
My soul like a dead thing to mo; -
That Ill-starred woman with her fears
Has sent very poison through me.
The Pleasant Past.
BT HUGH AINSLIK.
Ol for the sunny afternoons
When the roses were in blow.
When the birds began their e'enlng sang.
And the win' was saft and low.
When my heart's delljfht, in the mellowing
light.
Would trip wl mo to the green.
Rehearsing o'er some bliss in store.
Or the Joyous days we'd seen.
E'en the winter nights had their warm
lights.
Though the snos were drifting deep;
For the din and shout of the storm without
But made us the closer creep.
Hold fast, hold fast, to the pleasant past.
Its sweet and its sunny hours;
The seeds that we sow may never never gror.
But the crop o' the past ft is ours.
THE YELLOW DOMINO.
The Tale cf An Enormous Eater
During the latter part of tiie reign of
Louis XV. of France masquerades
were in hgi es imation, and 'public
ones were often given at immense cost,
on court d iys and other occasions of
rejoicing. To tt;ese la ter, persons of
all ranks, who could afford to purchase
a ticket, were ad.niss:ble; and accord
ingly leiiconiies frequ.'ntly took place
at them, :.nd exhibitions almost as cu
rious in the way of uisguise as in the
assumption of character.
LiU e chance a iventurcs of an amus
ing character were at that period not
at all uncommon; and iudee I, at tin se
entert limn -n's strange gr nips and
characters w -ra ofton purposely coi
certed by their directors and minagers.
Atotln-r thins fca'.s of legerdema n
or activity were performed: and on one
occasion, it is well known, a Genoese
the Ducrow of his day walked upon a
lilit rope, surrounded by lire-works,
which made him v'sible t all Paris,
from thy top of one of the towers of the
metropolitan cathedra! of Ni tre Dame
into the w ndow of a house near an
opposite bridge c;i led the Font au
Jh.tnge.
IVrhaps, howoviv. the most whimsi
al among the ge :ti ne surprises record
ed at any of those spectacles was that
w:iicli ' c urred m i'aris on ihe 15th of
ct l;er. the day on which the Dau
iliin, eldest son of Lnnis XV., attained
his majority.
At this fete, which was of a peculiar
ly ma:rni!i' nt characier so much so,
tlr t the details of it are given at great
ength by i isknians of the day the
strange behavior of a personage in
a yellow domh.o excited general atten
tion very early in the evening. This
mask, in short, who, if we except tall,
ness with th-" most robust proportions,
showed nothing rem ir.able as to fig
ure, seemed to be gifted with an appe
tite not merely past all human concep
t on, but exceeding even the wildest
fancies of romance. Even
The dragon of old, who churches ate
When full of good people on Sunday;
Wholt congregations were to him
But a dish of salmagundi "
even he was but a nibbler a mere
Jackey-Go-Easy to this stranger of
the yellow domino, who, with an alac
rity and perseverance as astonishing
as it was edifying, went from room to
room, and from one refreshment table
to another, not merely tasting but de
vouring, devastating all before himl
At one sideboard he coolly dispatched
a fowl, two-thirds of a ham, and Lalf-a-dozen
bottles of champagne, and the
very next moment he was found seated
in another apartment performing the
same feat with a stomach even keener
than the first. This, strange course
was persevered in stead. ly the whole
evening, until the company, who had
at first Leen much amused by it, be
came alie alarmed and unruly.
"Is it the same mask, or are there
several dominos"-"' demanded an officer
of the guard, as the yellow domino rcse
from a seat opposite to him and quitted
the apartment.
"I have seen but one, and by Heaven
here he is again!" exclaimed the par
ty to whom the query was addressed.
The jellow- domino spoke not a word
hut proceeded straight td the vacant
seat which he had just left, and again
c mmenced supping as though he had
fasted for a whole month of Sundays.
At length the confusion which this
proceeding created became universal,
and the cause of the clamor reached
the ears of the Dauphin.
"He is the very devil, your high
nessl" exclaimed an old noble, "saving
your royal highness' presence; or wants
but a tail to Le so."
"bay, rather, he is some poor, fam
ished poet, by his appetite, replied the
priuce, laughing. "But there must be
some juggle in all this; he spills the
wine, and hides the provisions under
his dress."
"Your highness shall immediately
witness the absence of juggle," contin
ued the nobleman, "with your own
eyes, for see," and he pointed to the
door of the apartment from which the
yellow domino had just at that instant
emerged, and was, as usual, procetding
directly to the refreshment-table.
Having seated himself with much ap
parent complacency, the yellow dom
ino, seizing a bottle before him, drank
glass after glass with a gusto and avid
ity for at least half-a-dozen rounds
U uly astonishing. But this appeared
to be a mere preliminary movement
for clearing the way for a solid and
serious mastication, for immediately
after he boldly attacked a fowl which
lay most invitingly before him, and
which, cut by cut, now begau to disap
pear by w hole wings and legs at a time.
The prince, accompanied by his
courtiers, looked on in silence, while
t'ie old nobleman, who had formly
assured him that he had seen him do
that feat three times.
"Thrice, my lord? thrice?" inter
rupted another courtier, iu rather a
contemptuous tone; "why, 1 can pledge
my honor that I have seen him at it
eight times."
"Say ten times, my lord duke," cried
another, "and you are nearer the
truth."
"And nearer still if yon say fifteen,'
said the Marquis Le Verd. "I have
watched the fellow this whole evening,
and I can assure your highness this is
the fifteenth time that I have witness
ed his repasts."
"Say you so!" replied the prince, all
curiosity. "Gill the master of the
ceremonies; we are anxious to know a
little more of our guest."
The master of the ceremonies, how
ever, on being asked, knew nothing
about him; and ths yellow domino was,
of course, very unceremoniously, as
well as unseasonably, interrupted, just
a3 he was lifting a bumper of claret to
his lips.
'The prince desires that monsieur
who wears the yellow domino will im
mediately unmask," repeated the mas
ter of the ceremonies, with awful
solemnity.
The yellow domino siared at him.
and hesitated.
"The command with which his high
ness honors monsieur is absolutely im
perative," continued the master of the
ceremonies.
"Oho!" bawled the nmsk, with
shrug of his shoulders; "against im
perative orders there is no contending."
The yellow domino immediately
threw off his mask and domino, and
revealed to the astonished prince and
his attending nobles a private trooper
of the Irish brigade, then in the ser
vice of France. At this unexpected
discovery the Dauphin had extreme
difficulty in restraining both hi3 own
and the mirth of Lis attendants. In
troducing, however, as much severity
into his countenance and voice as he
couM, he commenced with:
"Now in the name of all tint is ravr
nous, ray good friend not to inquire
how you obtained admission how
have you contrived to sup to-night so
manv times?"
"Many times!" repeated the trooper;
"Why, with all due deference be it
spoken, sire, I was but beginning to
sup when your royal message brought
me to a halt."
"Beginning!" exclaimed the Dau
phin, in amazement. "Then what is
it that I have heard and seen? "Where
are the fowls and the joints that have
disappeared, along with the dozens of
bottles of Burgundy, claret and cham
pagne? I insist upon knowing how all
this is."
"It is, sire," replied the trooper, af
ter considerable hesitation, "it is, may
it please your highness' grace, because
the troop I belong to is on guard to-day.
and we purchased a fete ticket among
us, providing ourselves at the same
time with a yellow domino, which fits
us all. 15y this means, the whole ol
our front rank myself being the last
man have supped, if the truth must
be told, most gloriously; and the first
of the rear rank, saving your royal
highness' command, is now below
waiting anxiously outside the door,
ready to fall in and take his turn."
The Dauphin laughed, and ordered
up all the men to finish what was on
the tables.
The Fnngns on the Apple Skin.
Dr. Tschamer, of Grats, ha3 discov
ered that a fungus grows upon the
skins of apples and oranges which is
precisely similar to the fungus which
forms the peculiar germs of infection
in whooping cough. He says that on
oranges and apples which have been
kept some time may be found dark
brown and black specks which, when
scraped off, appear as a damp powder.
Under the microscope this powder is
seen to consist of the spores of a fun
gus identical with those of the whoop
ing cough fungus. Taking two of
these specks from the skin of an
orange, Dr. Tschamer introduced them
by a strong inhalation into his lungs.
The next day tickling of the throat
began, which grad mily increased until
at theeigh h day a thorough y develop
ed whooping cough set in. Ti e exptc
torata, or mierosc-'pal examination
exhibited tie same. whUe corpusclet
which eh iracterise the expectorata o'
the usual children's whooping cougu.
Should this discovery be confirmt'.'
there is an additional reason to see
that children abstain from eating ap
ples with the skin on, and from chew
ing orange peel, which many are. so
fond of doing.
A countryman seated himself at a
table in Fulton Market, X. Y., the
other morning, and took up the bill of
fare. The first thing that struck his
eye was "boiled salmon." Alter stu
dying it a few eeoonds, as if it were a
problem which he had some difficulty
iu solving, he glanced up at the waiter
and said with a drawl: "Waal, I reckin
for a start off I'll take a leetle boiled
eolomon."

POLITICS IN NEBRASKA.
An Outlook Upon the Fall Campaign
-Probable Candidates.
Special dispatch to the New York Times.
Omaha, Neb,. July 4. The political
campaign of ISIS in Nebraska was
opened by the Republican State Cen
tral Committee, which is called to meet
at Lincoln, July 24. The state is so
largely Republican that little interest
attaches to party warfare, but centres
in factional lights. In the Republican
ranks the fight is between the "ins"
and "outs" - as regards the United
StatesJSenatorial honors and has a
strong bearing on the election of Sena
tor Paddock's successor. It is believed
that Senator Saunders will use his in
fluence to defeat Paddock and secure
the election of some one of the numer
ous candidates. Paddock was indebted
to the fiiends of Ex-Senator Hitchcock
for his election, and when Hitchcock
was a candidate for re-election Pad
dock did not help him. Paddock,
therefore, can hardly expect assistance
from that Senator. He has many
friends, however, and will make a
strong single-handed fight for re-election
tins fall. From the best informa
tion obtainable from several parts of
the state, there is reason to believe
that Welch will be renominated, and
that implies re-election by a large ma
jority. Crounse, ex-congressnian, will
probably be the Saunders candidate
against W elch. Garber, now governor
is not a candidate for re-election. Ex
Mayor Chase, of Omaha, is prominent
among ten or a dozen other candidates
for governor. Ex-Speaker Nance of
the Nebraska house of representatives
w ill probably be backed by senatorial
influence, which, however, may not be
strong enough to uominate him.

The Fruit Crop What Will You Do
With It!
Tho fruit crop in this county, as well
as throughout the State, is so large
this year that it is a question how it
can be utilized saved and made prof
itable to those who raise it. Ex-Gov.
Furnas seems to keep an eye on the
various features of fruit growing and
handling. His theory Is to dry the
surplus and thus condense and the bet
ter fit it for transportation and pres
ervation. To this end he is introduc
ing the "American Fruit Drier," which
is claimed to be a great improvement
on the famous "Alden processs," both
as to quality of product and cheapness
of the machine. The quality of fruit
produced by this machine is equal to
that of canned fruit in fact is claim
ed as the superior of many.
The Gov. has had one of these drying
machines in operation on his fruit
farm for several years past, and finds
it to be all that is represented. He is
handling the fruit this season, on his
old farm, now owned by D. O. Cross
aud Mi s. Cobb, and one of the large
sized machines will be constructed on
the place. Machines are made from
small size, for individual, to farming
use, to factory size, at a cost of forty
dollars to five hundred dollars.
Mr. Furnas has also accepted the
general western agency for the Ameri
can Fruit Drier Company, Chambers
burg, Pennsylvania, for the States of
Missouri, Iowa, Kansas and and Ne
braska. To save expense of transpor
tation machines will be manufactured
here in the west.
A specimen machine can be seen put
up, in the room between Huddart's
grocery and the Post Office, on Main
Street. It will be well for those who
have surplus fruit in this county to see
this machine. It is small and portable.
When there i3 not sufficient fruit on
one farm, to warrant the purchase of
a machine, neighborhoods can club to
gether and obtain one of the forty or
sixty dollar ones.

The Blue Ribbon Movement.
There exists in the mind of some of
our good people an idea, or ideas, in
regard to the object of the present
temperance movement, which is tak
ing the whole country by storm, that
are erroneous, and we believe that
when its objects are fully understood,
will do away with the prejudice now
existing in certain quarters. Perhaps
by stating negatively, what is it not,
we may arrive at a conclusion sooner
and better.
It is not a movement to prosecute
liquor setters lor violations of law:
It is not intended to coerce men into
teetotalism by threats or intimidation:
It does not say to the rum seller or
the drunkard you are not men of like
passion with ourselves; nor is it in
any sense a political or sectarian
movement, having for its object the
establishment, of a new political party
or a new belief in church matters;
Nor does it propose to int erfere with
any man's liberties in any manner, but
it does propose to solicit men who are
drinking, both moderately and immod
erately, to quit, and quit nowi While
it has nothing to do with the law re
gulating the traffic in liquors, it pro
poses to lessen the demand for alcohol
ic beverages, and by that means lessen
the supply. It comes into a communi
ty with no malice, but with love and
kindness lor all, and without abuse of
any kind, but by moral suasion, and ar
guments, seeks to induce men to for
sake the use of liquor as a beverage
only; remedies, for mechanical, and
other purposes, as by law provided, it
does not interfere iu those particulars.
These in brief, are all the points there
are in the movement. Its foundation
is that the manhood of man shall be
recognized no matter how fallen in
the eyes of society. It only seeks to
make society better by making it tem
perate. Is there any wrong in this?

'To the Rockies and Beyond.'
The above is the title of a pleasing-
ing and instructive work fresh from
the Western press. It is an admirably
condensed account of a summer's trav
el in the Rocky Mountain States and
Territories, by that well-known cor
respondent, Robert E. Strahorn, and is
crowded with useful information as
well as with versions of delightful
mountaineering experiences. Fond of
sight-seeing in new lands, the author
pleasantly introduces us to the grand
est and most beautiful scenic attrac
tions in the Western mountains; a de
voted " disciple of the gun and 'rod he
leads us through the w ildest Rocky
Mountain bunting grounds and by the
side of the finest trout streams and
lakes; keeping eyes and ears open for
the "main chance," he is enabled to
make valuable operations on the vast
areas of unsettled farming lands, the
wonderful stock ranges, where cattle
and horses take care of themselves the
year round, and on the silver and gold
mining regions, where fortunes are
sometimes lost but more often won.
The writer has spent considerable
time as a correspondent in the Black
Hills, Big Horn and San Juan regions.
and furnishes special articles on all
of these sections. To fill a want long
felt, he also furnishes a vast amount
of useful information concerning
routes, distances, expense of travel
and living in the many different loca
tions described, all obtained recently
from personal observation. A large
and entirely new map of the region
covered by the book is one of its most
valuable features. The work contains
141 large pages and is profusely illus
tratejl with gems of Rocky Mountain
scenery. The really extraordinary part
of it however, is that any one can
obtain a sample copy free of charge b'y

Poor Dan Rice.
It will be remembered that some
days ago Dan Rice was here with bis
circus boat, the "Damsel," en route up
the river to all prominent Missouri
river points between Omaha and Bis
marck, He was intending to cross
from Bismarck into the Black Hills,
where he hoped to strike a bigger bon
anza than even the Wheeler Bros, did
on their placer claim in Deadwood
Gulch. The circus showed in Tekam
ah, Burt county, Tuesday, and the
boat started that night tor Decatur,
the circus company remaining in Te
kamah over night. Just a3 Dan was
leaving overland with his show team
for Decatur yesterday morning a mes
senger came into Tekamah with the
news that the "Damsel" sunk Tuesday
night, between the two towns. Near
ly all the property on the boat was tak
en off before she went under. The
"Damsel" was owned by Mr. Rice, and
was valued at about S20.000. We are
mighty sorry for Dan. If we had as
much money as Vanderbilt, we might
give him a steamboat just for fun, and
to keep the old fellow's sxirits up.

Domestic Recipes.
Strawberry Preserves. Prepare the
strawberries, weigh and use sugar
pound for pound; heat the gugar hot
before you add the berries. They will
then not mash up. If you wish to can
them, three-quarters of a pound of
sugar to the pound of berries will b
plenty. They should cook twenty to
thirty minutes. Grapes can be pre
served in the same way.
Stuffed Shoulder of Mutton. Very
nice; one weighing four pounds will
require an hour and a quarter. Allow
about twenty minutes to a pound;
make deep incisions in the meat and
fill them with a stuffing made of flno
bread crumbs, salt, pepper, a piece of
butter (or salt pork cut line if prefer
red), a little sage and enough milk la
moisten it a very little. Flour the
meat well and place it in the roaster
with a gill or two of water; baste it of'
ten aud salt half an hour before serv
ing. leopard Cake. Two cups white su--gar,
four eggs, one cup of butter, half
a cup of sweet milk, half a teaspoonf ul
soda, one of cream tartar. Stir witlr
Hour sufficiently, then take nearly half
the mixture into another dish and add
half a cup of molasses, three table
spoonfuls of milk, half a cup of Hour,
one cup of raisins or English currants,
and cinnamon, cloves und nutmeg to
suit the taste, and put in a spoonful of
the dark and light, alternately. Bake
in a moderate oven.
Lamb Stewed with Green Peas. Cut
tho scrag or breast of lamb in pieces
and put intostew-pan with just enough
water to cover it. Cover it closely aud
let it stew for twenty minutes. Take
off the 6cum; add a tablespoonful of
salt and a quart of shelled peas; cover
and letlhem stew for half an hour;:
mix a tablespoonful of Hour and butter
and stir in and let it simmer ten min
utes; then serve. If you mix the flour
with cream it makes it butter. Would
recommend this recipe to our friends
who keep bachelors' hall. Veal is nice
cooked in the same way, with half :v
dozen small new potatoes added witb
the peas.
Blankets. Before putting blankets
away for the season they Bhould be
carefully washed and sunned. This
cm be easily accomplished if one have
a washer and wringer. Borax aud
ammonia mixed with the first water
iu which blankets are washed make
them very white and soft. The soap
used should be entirely devoid of rosin,
as rosin invariably hardens the fibres
of woollens. Washed in scalding hot
water, rinsed in the same and hung at
once on the line under a clear sun.
blankets may be cleansed year after
year without perceptibly shrinking
aud without losing their primal soft
ness and delicacy.
French Rolls, Take three medium
sized Irish potatoes, boil until softr
mash in the water in which they were
hoiled, add enough flour to make it the
consistency of cream. Soak a yeast
ake in a cup of tepid w ater, beat in
two or three eggs, one tablespoonful of
ugar, one of salt, mix the whole to
ether and set it to rise. When risen,
.vork in flour, in w hich has been rub
bed one tablespoonful of lard, until
itiff enough to handle easily. Let it
rise again, then make out the rolls
with your hand, flatten until they will
fold over, and spread a very little but
ter, just enough to keep it from stick
ing; bake quick. The above recipe
will make thirty rolls.
Egg-shell Tases.
Our young girls may like direction"
for making pretty little vases out of
egg shells. Try the following: Select
two eggs as near alike as possible,
break a hole in the large end, and let
the egg run out. Then take a pair of
small scissors and carefully cut the
end off square where it begins to swell
out well. You canTt cut it perfectly
even, for it will break off a little; but
if careful, you can get it nearly so.
Around the lough edge gum a narrow
strip of gilt or colored paper, letting it
run above tho edge the least bit, tr
hide its roughness. For handles cut
two strips of the gilt puper long enough
to curve prettily, carefully bend them
to shap3, and gum thern where they
touch the shell. For ornament, paato
on any little Dgure or flower cut from
gay pictures that cume on linen, or any
odd device cut by j o irself out of gilt
paper. Or a flower cut from muslin,
carelully gummed on tho front, will be
pretty. For a standard, turn a large
sized button-mold (as large as a two
cent piece) flat side down, put a drop
of stiff gum on top of it, stand the egg
shell on it, and hold it till dry.
Around the standard gum a narrow
strip of giltp:iper, scalloped or point
ed, to correspond with that around the
top. The vases can be partly filled
with white s tnd, in which can b3 made
to stand up two or tlnee stems of dried
grasses. Pretty cradles for little inch
high dolls can be made out of tho
same material, cut in the shape of a
cradle, and with pasteboard rockers
glued on.
Boston has a "Society to Encourage
Studies at Home," for which great suc
ce s is claimed. The object is to lead
women to educate themselves. The
society was formed five years ago, and
has now nearly a thousand members la
thirty-fonr States. They pay each $2 a
year, and write lo Ihe ctntral organiza
tion in Boston describing iu a general
way what sort of knowledge they wish
to acquire. Volunteer teachers, reply
with advice as to what books to read,
and, if the member cannot readily ob
tain them, they are loaned. Each pupil
is required to submit to written exami
nations on the subjects studied. The
amount of correspondence required is
I very large, and the ninety-eight teach
ers find their work arduous.
