Thomas Hobson was a carrier at Cambridge, England, and owning horses, he used to let them to students. He was a v humane man, and- made a rule that every horse should have a regular time in which to rest, and no matter how much a student might want to hire a particular horse, he couldn’t get him if it were his time to rest. So it was “Hobson’s choice. Take what you can get, or go without.” ““Hobson’s” has be the choice of treatment for the ctim of private blood diseases, dose with mereury and potash, (that neve ) or go without. ‘Write or call on The National Remedy Co., 1414 Dodge Omaha, Neb., for particulars of their marvelous remedy, Syphiline. 1t has never failed to cure 1n a single i . ‘‘Moore the Grocer” sells the most and finest berries in the market, and always at the LOWEST PRICE. — - Only 47 Hours (0 New York Via the Wabash, With corresponding fast time to all points east and south.

Visit to the Strange Residents of Fitcairn lslana, When the clip ship C. Schepp, which has just tied up at Race strect wharf, was beating down in the trade winds in the dreary waste of the South Pacific ocean, on her way from San Francisco to Philadelphia, Captain Gates was much surprised 'to find on coming on deck one morning a boat load of stalwart men approaching his vessel, suys the Philadelphia Record. An island was seen a short distance off the starboard bow, and on the boat get- ting within hailing distance an aged and decrepit man in_ the bow shouted: “Iam Thursday October Christian, gov- ernor of Pitcairn Island.” He suid that the population of Pit- cairn consisted of 115 men, women and children. Captain Gates ordered the yards aback, and in a few minutes cighteen men were on the ship’s deck, all of whom hore evidence of English ancestry. They were extremely ro- ligious, and held exclusively the teach- ings of the Seventh Day Adventists, the result of the work of & missionary, who was wrecked there years ago while bound from San Francisco to China. -The governor stated that he was the grandson of one of the mutineers who, in 1789, set adrift the officers of the English warship Bounty, and then bore away for the island oe Otaheite, and had lived for years there before being discovered. They were afterward ar- rested and sent to England for trial, The governor said that the use of to- bacco and liguors wasentirely unknown among the people of Piteairn, and that the little colony were in need of dress goods, particularly for the women, as nearly all of the latter were dressed in men’s clothes secured from passing ves- sels. A supply of clothing was given and an abundance of fruit and provis 10ns was sent on board the ship in ex change. e Dr. E.

Crossing the yard one’ comes in full view ‘of Jim Stewart, a colored trusty, who has charge of the penitentiary ays the Little Rock Gazette. five bloodhounds—the white bitch Nellie and four dark-colored dogs —that outrival any fetters or any walls in the matter of restraining conviets from running aw Out_at’ the at Palarm the other Sunday a con jumped and managed to get a clear two hours’ sturt before his absence was noted. He swam the creek, and, by diligent running, had covered mine miles or more in the two hours. Two men followed him—the guard of the gang to which he belonged and the dog man and four dogs. He was t overtaken and brought back. N he was wearing a heavy ivon s thing that will prevent any display of agility as long as it is worn. But with the spur on the ict could not chop wood. The spur was removed, and the convict told, while the howling of the hounds iterrupted the words, that he *‘could take another run if he wanted to.” You let a man swing an nxe every day, eating a pound and o half of bread and mew a meal. and turn him loose, and 1t takes a pretty good hor up with him. ~ Witn an hour’s start he will be gone eight or nine miles before you can cateh him. The man who said that was fully alive to the value of his dogs, his bloodhounds, or man trailers, as some folks might call them. And now the dogs are to go through their usual daily run, for bloodhounds, like pointers and setters, need to be con- stantly kept in practice. At The Walls and af each oue of the camvs the dogs are given a daily run, longer or shorter, harder or easier, a5 circumstances di tate. In the present instancea trusty is started out from in front of the hos- pital building. He darts off around the cornerib, goes down along the gar- den fence, climbs the fence, jumps the ditch on the other side and makes sun- dry devious windings in the immense field called u garden, going round three sides and coming back to the haybarn, climbs up & post and stands in 4 p tion of safety. Meanwhile Jim Stewart, a lithe young fellow, wearing a slouched hat, whose band is fantasticullp adorned with metal buttons, is holding four dogs in leash with one hand and keeping the biteh, Nellie Ik with the other. A the proper moment Nellie is loosed and the leash slipped from the other four, and as Stewart winds his horn awa the dogs, N n the lead, Nelli seen the fugitive go down by the crib, and follows sight. Almost before you it the whole pack is bunched the fence, and in an instant Nellie is up and over & plank and tearing down the garden. Her nose is first down, then up, and never held paticularly close to the ground. A few feet from the fence she strikes the scent, follows it through the turnip patch, turns back where it doubles, and keeps on till she comes swinging down underneath the south wall, and then noses l'lnm:lt‘ along till she is on the home trail. Within five minutes from the time that the trusty had. climbed into his perch of safety Nellie has him treed and is bark- ing at him with all her might., The other dogs got a little confused in the turnip patch, but rallied admirably, going back on the back track till the ive trail was struck, and soon com- ing into the haybarn. It is all interest- ing enough to look at, but the way the hounds bay as they give cry isn’t very reassuring to the man who is being chased, Few of the dogs are biting, though some of them will bite anybody when they get excited on the run; but iv isn’t the dog’s teeth that the fugitive conviet dreads; it is the nose that can follow a man through almost any tangle of underbrush or wood. For a second run the dogs follow on the trail of the trusty around the work- shop, the cell-house, behind the wagon- shop and across the yard, The seent doesn’t lie so well on the hard macadam of the yard, and is, moreover, confused with that of the other trails; but the dogs keep at it and soon come up to where the trusty in safely ensconced in the barn, w1 SIXTEEN PAGES Hagden Bros, The lace curtadh sale of this season will begin Monday morning at 9 sharp, at Hayden's, on #6th strect.

The most attractive article of furniture is & small upright piano of light mahogany, beautifully embel- lished with panels of carved silver, symbollic of music and song. Figures of cupid and busts of child- ren fill the corners of the room with beauty, and as the visitor enters she passes under the 155 anches of a small palim tree that stands on a pedestal of polished green marble.

L\ 9 A WITTY AUCTIONEER, How John H. Draper Conducts a Sale of O1d Masters. John H. Draper is, by the way, one of the very few successors we have to the witty auctioneers of the generation gone before us, says a writer in a New York paper. When he perches himself in his arm-chair, florid and handsome, and with his fine flexible voice commences to do business, you may be sure that the fun will soon begin. He has a word for every one, and a reparteo for overy oc- casion. A man who had eaten too much dinner groaned when a beautiful little Corot was knocked down for $125. “There,” snid the auctioneer, solemnly, ttyou hear Corot’s ghost, don’t you?” A drunken man, who had wandered in and fallon asleep' in & remote chair, fell over on the floor just as a strong Michel went at $95, *The price made him faint,” was the auctioneer’s comment. When a brilliant Vibert, a cardinal all in red under a red umbrella, walkd ing in a sunlit garden, was put up, and one of the audience went up to examine it on the easel, the auc- tioneer said: “*You've often painted it that way yourself.” A Monticelli he described as a good *‘all the week pict- ” You could ecail it what you ted, and turn itanew way every y out of the seven, and give in a new Any one who knows Monticelli’s absinthesque fa s of color, will ap- preciate the desceription.” When a ten- tative bidder offered a raise of $1 on a Corot, and a good one, - the auctioneer made it 82 The bidder protested that he had only made the figure $1. “All right,” said the auctioneer, “‘I'm londing you $1.50 to preserve your self- respect.” When the sale ended, the auctioneer gravely thanked his au- dience, forgave them for their coldness on the ground that he did not blame them for being shy of picture sales now- adays, and sent them off with the vale- dictory, “*God help the old masters.” WM.
