to him, and effectually barred the way. A
guttural noise, indicative of ardent passion,
a parody on the purr ofet pleased cat, issued
from his thick lips.
"1 am a deal better man than Philip,

As for this first position, it might have
been open to doubt, but the second was in-
disputable. He looked Mr. Horn's own

"You'll give me a kiss; I know you will,"
pleaded he. An irresistable glance from
his ferret eyes accompanied this request,
and yet the maiden hesitated.

aside into the housekeeper's parlor, the
door of which stood ajar.

For the Wonderful SU ccess
of Hood's Sarsaparilla,
the Most Popular *Ind
Most Extensively Sold
Medicine in America.
g Hood's Sarsaparilla possesses great
3 medicinal merit, which it positively
demonstrates when fairly tried.
It is most economical, being the
only medicine of which 44 Ioo
Doses One Dollar" can truly be said.
3It is prepared by it Combination,
Proportion and Process Peculiar to
Itself, unknown to other preparations,
and by which all the medicinal value of
the various ingredients is secured.
4It effects remarkable cures where
other medicines have utterly failed
to do any good whatever.
5It is a modem medicine, originated
by experienced pharmacists, and
still carefully prepared under their per-
sonal supervision.
It is clean, clear and beautiful in
appearance, pleasant to take, and
always of equal strength.
It has proven itself to be positively
the best remedy for scrofula and all
blood disorders, and the best toniclor
that tired feeling, loss of appetite and
general debility.
8Itis unequalled for curing dyspepsia,
is
headache, biliousness, catarrh,
rheumatism and all diseases of the kid-
neys and liver
n It has a good name at home, there
being more of Hood's Sarsaparilla
sold in Lowell, Mass., where it is made,
than of all other sarsaparillas and blood
purifiers combined.
I" Its advertising is unique, original,
honest, and thoroughly backed up
by the medicine itself.
A Point for You.
If you want a blood purifier or
strengthening medicine, you should get
the best. Ask for Hood's Sarsaparilla,
and insist upon having it. Do not let
any argument or persuasion influence
you to buy what you do not want. Be
sure to get the ideal medicine,

Singular Tragedy in Paris.
There has just terminated at Beauvais a
trial for a murder which took place at Creil,
the circumstanees of which are considerably
akin to those of a case which happened a
few years since in the Paris Paleas de
Justice. The Creil affair is the story of a
woman's vengeance. Madame Vitte, a
good-looking woman of 24, the wife of a shoe-
maker, carried on it clandestine epistolary
correspondence while she was in a hospital
in Paris with a man named Rombaut. This
person was a commission agent in Oroil, and
had been a friend of M. Vitte, who, how-
ever, hearing certain reports, forbade him
to visit his wife. The shoemaker was in-
formed that the wallen wrote letters to
Raabe-at, whereupon he urged that in order
to clear her character she should shoot her
admirer, Madame Vitte obeyed. She bought
a revolver, went to it cafe where Rombaut
was drinking, called upon him to retract
publicly what he had said about her, a,nd
while he was trying to explain that he bad
never maligned her to anybody she fired
five shots at him. Rombaut fell mortally
wounded, and declared before dying that be
bad never had improper relations with
Madame Vitte. At the trial the woman
maintained that Rombaut had aspersed her
character. Her husband made the same
statement, and after it long deliberation the
jury acquitted them both. The verdict
was received with applause in court -not
an uncommon thing in cases of this kind.
The Black Bole of Calcutta.
The famous black hole of Calcutta was a
small room, 18 feet square, in which the
English prisoners, 146 in number, were plac-
ed by Su -rajah Dowlah, Nabob of Beogal,
when Fort William was taken in1856. lite
• room could contain the prisoners only tile
they remained standing, and the heat of the
Indian summer being scarcely supportable
uncler the meat favorable conditions, such
crowding in a room with but one small grat-
ed window in the door was equivalent to a
sentence ol death. In lest than an hour soy-
' eral of the prisoners were delirious, and be-
fore the fifth hour had passed, most were
I frantic or insensible.' Eleven hours after the
