"Aftor tbe gappe —cough. This was my
experience—-a hacking, dry cough, with an
incessant tickling in the throat, keeping me
awake nights, aad disturbing tbe household.
I tried a great number of 'cough-cures,' but
they gave me only temporary relief. At last
I concluded to take Ayer'a Cherry Pectoral,
and before I bad used half a bottle, I bad
my flrst all-night sleep*. I continued to improve, and now consider myself cured." —

E. D. Estabrooks, Canterbury, IC B., says:
" In toe winter ol 1859 I was a surveyor of

ON THE SANTA FE TBAIL
There wera four of us—a yonng lady,
governess ia an officer's family—a
wealty uaercliant, middle aged—ft company's horseshoor, bound for the stables
at Denver—and myself, Government aa-
sayer and mineral expert. We had left
Santa Fe on the stage one scorching afternoon. It was now about % o'clook
in the morning. We had just oongratu.
lated ourselves on'being safely out of the
most dangerous passes, and were driving
briskly toward the Canadian fork.
The full moon lighted our way, making the bushes and trees adjacent cast
sharp, decided shadows aoross tbo road.
I had changed places with tho little
horseshoer on the roof for the sake of a
little more air. The "insidea" were dozing, but I felt wakeful and alert. We
beguiled the sultry bours by story telling.
Suddenly I saw something moving in the
shadows ahead of ua.
"What is that?" I aaid.
The driver looked, hia eyee rounding
like the moon.
"Nothing but a burro," he replied, referring to tbe pack mules that frequently
strayed down the mountain side. It disappeared quickly in the shade, and from
thence, aa if by magio, two men, th*
polished barrels otf their rifles gleaming
in the moonlight, sprang into the road
almost under our wheels.
They wore huge slouched sombreros
and army cloaks. The stoutest of the
pair caught the bridles of the leaders;
the other, covering us with hia Winchester, roared:
"Stir a finger an' yer a dead manl"
Advancing closer and keeping ua within
range of his muzzle, he shouted:
"Pitch out the treasure box, quick!
We're in a hurry!"
The driver began to stammer a reply,
but I stopped him with a muttered:
"Shut up! Let nie talk to these chaps!
There ia no treasure aboard to-night!"
I aaid tbia coolly, at  the same time
swaying my body to and fro, to get out
of the range of the muzzle; the man waa
evidently very determined aa well aa very
u-ax.    am _ uiwuuea ne snouitt, bo HOOK
me for an express   messenger, and aa
neither driver nor messenger ia supposed
to possess any valuables,  they aro ael-
dom molested.
"None o' yer non sense I" replied Het
bandit. "Hand out the treasure ar ye'll
see trouble, blast yer!"
The scoundrel at tbe reins, who held
his rifle pointed at me from between the
horses' heads, evidently enjoyed my endeavors to get out of range, for hs
squeaked in a high, falsetto voice:
"Does them bar'Is look big?"
"Yea," I said, echoing tha old joke
current among the miners. "I can read
all the advertisements on the wadding!"
He gave a hoarse chuckle.
"Hy'r, hy'r; heave ont titer specie
box!" roared the ruffian with tha Win*
Chester.   I insisting there was none.
"Here, look at the waybill; if there's
any such thing aboard it will be among-
the items," and I made a motion to get
down, holding it in my hand.
"Stay where yer are, er I'll shoot your
&—d head off."
I threw him the waybill. Ha dropped
hia rifle, and picking Ik up looked it over
in the moonlight. Profiting by the
action I undertook to alip my pocketbook
into my boot, and moved my hand round
to get at my pocket.
nie driver mistaking the movement,
whispered:;
"Have you got one ?"
The maa at the horsea* heads noticed
our little conference, and yelled at us.
The other instantly leveled hia gun
straight at my head:
"None o'that!   Hands up t"
We threw up our bands and ha again
turned to the waybill; I did manage,
though, to alip my money into my boot.
"You see there's no mention made of
the treasure, and if ft waa sent ft would
certainly be noticed on tbe bill. However, yoa can get up and look in the box
and satisfy yourself."
He hesitated % moment, then climbed
up, rifle in hand, and looked in tbe box;
in doing so he kicked my valise. Aa a
Govenrment expert I waa well known to
bankers of Santa Fe.
They never hesitated to intrust me with
large amounts of money, aad tbia trip
waa no exception, having with me nearly
$15,000 in gold, secured partly in an inner belt around my waist, partly by a
false bottom improvised in my valise by
gumming strong wrapping paper over
the precious parcel, and inner lining of
the bag.
"Open thia hy'ar grip!" cried the road
agent. I did ao, carefully taking out ita
contents and letting him look inside;
the wrapping paper deceived him.
"Naw," he growled, "thar's no treasure
on this stage, but we've sworn ter have
$200 to-night, an' ef we don't fin'it in
your treasure box we mought fin' ft in
yer baggage.   Who's inside?"
"Two men and a lady. None of them
rich; one of them is a horseshoer going
to Denver to shoe the company horses."
"We'll look at 'em, Whatever happens doat yer move on yer life. We
may find the cash on them ur in the baggage."
The "insidea" appeared tobe sleeping.
The man rattled the door and roused
them. Leveling hia rifle, he ordered
them out to be searched. They obeyed,
apparently half asleep He placed them
ia a row,
"Hands up!" he said. "Now fur your
pocketal"
Hie horseshoer had but two dollars in
silver; the merchant's purse showed only
ft tt and a fow small bills, and the young
lady's nothing but her papers and a little
change. The poor girl looked aa if about
to faint,
"You're a ornary crowd ter have ao
little with yer," he snarled, "an' I've a
good mind tar send yer all ter blazes
tbia cussed night. Two hundred we've
sworn to have, ao we'll have to rip up yer
baggage." Thia was uttered with infinite disgust.
The merchant then said:
"You'll find nothing of any account in
oar baggage, but if yoa will ask thia
young lady for her hat, and can find tjie
$1,000 ia bills she concealed ia tt jnst lp-
fore tering Santa Fe, I thipk you wall
/
certainly  consider   yourself  repaid for
yoar trouble."
The girl turned toward him with blazing eyes, and uttered the word;
"Traitor!"
There was no escape; the hat was
taken possession of. At ter the lining had
been carefully ripped out it was returned
with a few gruff words of apology.
"In luck, by heavens!" cried the highwayman exultingly. "Pile in. all, an* be
d—d tor yer, Borry fnr yer loss, Miss,
but we're boun' ter take all we kin git
We ain't got no treasure; bat tbis here'll
do 'bout ss well.   Drive on!"
"I want the waybill!" I said excitedly,
for the scene we had just witnessed had
raised my indignation to fever heat. He
handed it to me, but it fluttered under
the horses' feet, and I again demanded
it. He picked it up, climbed the wheel,
and handed tt to me. Then, turning to
the young lady, he said gruffly:
"But fur this lining, young woman, yo
might aB ha' been lyin' in yander ditch.
No treasure aboard! Come this way agin
'thou t ft an' we'll settle yer accounts,
blast yerl   Now, git!"
We gladly followed this advice, but
could aot find language strong enough to
express our opinion'of the merchant.
The driver made the air fairly lurid with,
his sulphurous profanity, and the yonng
lady answered all attempts at consolation
with hysterical sobs. The merehant
alone appeared to retain his cool equanimity of temper.
Arriving at Denver he begaod very
earnestly of the young lady, with see as
her escort, to grant him a few moi**»«nta,
for explanation in a private pater. He
closed the door and bolted it, wW-h
looked a little strange.
"Don't be afraid," said be, as I felt for
my revolver. Sitting down he pulled off
his boots and from the toe took oat a wad
of bills. "My poor child," aaid he, "let
me make restitution. Here are $3,000
in bills for the $1,000 you lost," handing
her two $1,000 bills, "yoar lining was a
godsend to me. If they had searched me
further they would have secured $20,000
instead of $1,000.
"And besides, concealed in my baggage
are diamonds and other precious stones,
which if they had secured would bave
beggared me." Taking a beautiful solitaire from hia vest lining, he presented
that also to her. "I ahonld have explained in the stage," he said, "but walls
have ears, and why should I trust the
otbers with my secrets?"
NATURAL.    HISTORY    PA_.-,ACII
Host ot Them Completely Explorlest,
That Somo Still Survive.
Lees than a century ago, to the time
when men had not penetrated so deeply
into the study of nature, there was a
great deal of poetry and romance connected with animal life that had been
slowly bat surely driven out as the stndy
advanced.
Travelers returning from unexplored
regions told strange and incredible stories
about the wonderful wild animiri.i they
had encountered; but investigation has
rent asunder these fanciful tales, and
left only cold facts in their places.
I ara the owner of a natural history
written by one Riley, and published
about the year 1789. It is a. quaint nid
book, and its yellow leaves an.l odd type
furnish the reader with a numb-r of
strange accounts. Among other things
may be found something like the following: "The digestive apoauitus of tha
uetai if ITTO Baia to De very strong maeed,
that bird not only being >ble to digest such
things as stones, bits of glass, and iron,
but it is even said that tt makes a good
meal of a live bed of coals."
We laugh at auch a statement, but no
doubt at the time of publication tt waft
stated for a fact.
What right have we to laugh? It to
aot long since almost every one believed
the porcupine capable of shooting ita
quills like arrows, and regarded it an
animal well able to defend itself against
almost any foe, instead of the quiet, inoffensive Little creature that curls itself
in a ball at the flrst approach of an enemy,
trusting solely to its spine covered skin
for protection.
Hen who have lived only a short timo
before us did not question but what the
pretty, graceful swallows that skimmed
so lightly o'er the blue waters in summer
buried themselves in the mud at tha
bottom of our rivers and ponds when tha
season was over to await the return of
epring.
ft has been but a short time since investigation haa shown that the supposed
happy family made up of the prairie dog,
the burrowing owl; and the rattlesnake is
not only not a happy family, but does not
exist at all. Oar first idea was that these
three animals, of suoh different habits,
lived ia perfect harmony, like the so
called happy families ef the modern circus; but our faith in this belief is somewhat shaken by tho following, whioh
may be found hi Wood's "Natural History. " According to popular belief these
three creatures Bra very harmoniously
together; but observation baa shown
that the snake and the owl are interlopers, living ia the burrow because the
poor owner eaa aot turn them out, aad
finding an easy subsistence OB the young
prairie dogs."
We were satisfied with this for a time,
but judge the astonishment created when
Elliott Cones, in one of his latest writings,
makes the following statement in speaking of the burrowing end; "I have found
colonies in Kansas and other States, ii
all cases occupying the deserted burrows
of the quadrupeds, not living in common
with them as usually supposed."
Naturalists ara now telling us that tha
opossum does not play 'possum, but is
merely paralyzed with fear for the time
being; articles are published every day in
oor ornithological papers and magazines
which go to prove that owls can see
equally aa well by day as by night, lit ia
still aa undecided question whether
snakes "charm" their prey or not. In the
Western backwoods these old stories are
still believed in, the ignorant classes cling
with fondness to them, and wilt not learn
anything different, and dowa in our own
hearts do wa aot tall of us cling to them,
more or less? Do we not hate to give
them up, and is tt aot with a little regret that we are forced to acknowledge
that the porcupine does not shoot Ida
quills, that the bird of paradise really
has feet and legs, and that our national
bird, the white headed eagle, ft for from
the noble bird we once thought him to
be?—Forest and Stream.
Bill Snort's Letter.
BT ALEX. K. 8WBKT.
White House, Oct 94, 1891.
lo Major Dan McOary, Iltmtton, Tte.:
My Deak Major :—I remember with
ghastly distinctness my first and last
chew of tobacco. Even now my Btom-
ach rolte up like an old fashioned washboard when I think of it. i It .did not
seem possible that I oould ever go
through so much suffering again. I
was mistaken. Kot long afterwards,
while I was still a mere innocent child,
I found a large melon ia the patch of
an honest farmer, when he was not
looking. When I got the melon I felt
like throwing up my hat, but before
the melon got through with ma I came
near throwing up my boots. The farmer had cut a little trap-door in the
hurricane deck ot that melon and inserted some tartar emetic for the accommodation of crows, so he told the
doctor who attended me.
I have never seen anybody quite as
sick as I was then until the Harrisons
heard the flrst news of that little eight-
pound episode in tte Cleveland family.
They were twice as sick as I was at the
melon matinee.
If Cleveland were aot a Presidential
candidate he might have an episode in
his family every week and it would
make no difference to tte administration. If he were not ia the race for the
Presidency about tte only remark that
would be made about the episode would
be that made by an old farmer when
his wife read to him a newspaper paragraph to tte effect that somebody had
died at the age of 118.
**Waal." responded the old farmer,
"warn't it about time, Mariah f**
There is a proverb about "better late
than never, but tou can't make President Harrison endorse it in this particular instance.
A short time ago Cleveland was regarded as a back number. He had
really been retired from circulation.
The notices he received in the press
were steadily decreasing ia namber, a
sure criterion of his waning popularity.
In a short time you might nave pinched
off his head and bowled it down Broadway, and nobody would have said,
"This is Cleveland." Now. since tta
8- Ik episode ttat occurred six; minutes
past midnight, Oct. 3d, his picture is in
all the papers, and he is regarded as a
public benefactor.
The following tabular statement,
which I, have compiled on the baking
powder advertising plan, will be of interest. It shows that his popularity
was steadily falling off from month to
month until the episode was born:

Good Sense!
Disease is largely the result of impure
blood. To purify the blood, is to cure
the disease. As a blood-purifier and
vitalize., Dr. Pierce's Goldeu Medical
Discovery stands head and shoulders
above any other known specific! Hi
power ia this direction is nothing short
of wonderful. Guaranteed to benefit or
cure in every case, or money refunded.
McKinley does not shove any more bogus tin buttons on us, so it was an easy
task for the Clevelands to steal a march
on us if they were mean enough to do
it, and, as ttey have done it, I infer
they are just that selfish and inconsiderate.
Harrison is the father of a son, but
the only way ttat son can boom up his
unhappy parent is by coming to an untimely end.
When I broke tte news gently to
Harrison there was a scene in tte White
House. For a few minutes there was
a death-like stillness, which was broken
by crude profanity from But}*, that
would have done credit to a New York
car driver who is behind time and has
a loaded track break down on the track
in front of his car. Harrison, too,
broke down as completely as he did oa
election night when his fate was trembling in the balance. Baby McKee,
realizing that something had gone
wrong, emitted a sad wail like tbat of a
dog whose tail had been run over by a
furniture wagon.
Yours sadly,

On tte subject of babies the average
American female is a littie off. From
now on she will do her utmost to put
"Frankie and the Baby" in tte White

as the case may be, shall vote that way.
This means that Harrison and myself
will be fired down tte front steps of the
White House out into tte cold world.
which,Knot skillfully dodged, is apt
to down them. That's about our fix.
Nothing short of twins in tte White
House can offset the boom Cleveland
has got from tbat little episode. And
like a man wanting a pistol in Texas,
we want tbose twins right off.
Unless something of this kind occurs
unexpectedly, in 1892, Harrison will
find himself among the uncalled tor
baggage after the Presidential limited
express has gone by. That blessed baby
is more terrible than an army with
banners. We have to deal with one
infant industry ttat cut not only get
along without protection, bat makes it
very lively for the protectionists themselves, and Grover may also repeat that
remark, while looking for the paregoric,
that it is a condition, not a theory, that
confronts us.
lam very much discouraged. Verily,
all is vanity and vexation of spirit. In
the morning man goeth form like a
lark, and to-morrow, or tte day after,
the undertaker has him in the ice box.
He slideth dowa tte bannister of life
and findetb it full of splinters. In the
autumn he putteth on his winter trousers, and the wasp that abideth therein
filleth him with intense excitement.
He essayeth to carry tbe oleander
plant of hope into the cellar, but he goeth down hastily, and tlie oleander
plant cometh after him, and sittett on
him.
Or, he cometh home at eventide full
of hope(?), and the wheelbarrow riseth
up and smiteth him to the earth and
runneth one of its legs into his ear.
Such is political life, and even more so.
I could have averted tbis disaster if I
had known about it ia time. Wben I
witness the anguish of tte Harrisons I
wish I had married Miss Minerva Bea-
conhill, of Boston, when she was la
Washington last Christmas. She hinted
very strongly that she was not indifferent to my charms. I was very busy
at tte time, and had otter things on
my mind. Besides, her spectacles froze
my nose when I kissed her, so I told
her I could never be more than a brother
to her. Poor thing! She wept a few
moist sobs oa my bosom, and pressing
her handkerchief to her face, took the
next traia to Boston.
Had I given her any encouragement,
Minerva and me would have wed, and
the wind would have at least been tempered to the shorn lamb ta tte White
House. The administration might have
been saved, for about now, probably,
tte papers would be adorned with imy
portrait and those of Minerva and ihe
episode with such startling headlines as:

Where would Cleveland and his eight-
pound girl baby be then? But it was
not to be. A cold wave of realism separated us, and. now it is everlastingly
too late. I hereby give Grover and
Frankie fair notice that I will manage
things better hereafter. They will not
have a walk-over next time.
However, as the administration is
claiming credit tor the ftdl horn of
plenty which the God of the harvests is
pouring over the country, I dont suppose I would haye been treated fairly
by the Harrisons, even if Minerva and
myself had saved tte administration by
becoming the parents of a baby in the
White Hoase. A President who tries
to swindle the Almighty and Jim Blaine
out of what they have done for the
country in the way of crops and reciprocity, would put up some job on Col.
Snort and his baby.
Yes, the crops of wheat, corn, etc.,
are helping the administration, but
Cleveland's baby crop has knocked as
silly.
Herein the White House, we had
not tiie slightest idea that any danger
was to be apprehended from that source.
We knew nothing about it, and I must
say that, under the circumstances, it is
taking an unfair advantage of the President.
I suppose I will be blamed for not
warning the President in time, but I
dont see what difference that wonld
have made. That this event is in the
nature of a surprise to the administration is not my fault. I can't watch
everything that is going on. I have to
keep one eye on Ru$$ and another on
Blame, and see, at the same time, that

How the 5,000,000 of people in London
"get about" to their daily avocations and
homes is a mystery to those who have
not made the subject a study, so I have
gathered some information which will
throw a little light on tb
Let me start oot with the statement
that beside the 10 large terminal stations,
like the Eaton Square aud the Midland,
there are 430 railway stations within tta
metropolis, and tt* underground lines
alone carry annually 139,000,000 of
passengers. The underground roads have
been in existence for more than a quarter
of a century, and are found to answer
the purpose admirably of relieving the
overground traffic. They are conveniedi^*
cheap, and comparatively quick; hat decidedly unpleasant, If not positively unhealthy. Although the engines consume
their own smoke, tt is impossible to keep
pure tha sir in the tunnels, and yoa
usually emerge from them with a headache.
Of oourse, tta ears have to be lighted
artificially, and they had not learned to
use the electric light in them when I was
last in London—last October. Gas is a
poor substitute ia such a place. Tou sta
forced to read your newspaper in a dim
light, and the gaa consumes much of tha
oxygen whioh gets into tte tunnels from
openings, en route, which ara made for
the purpose.
Yet yoa do aot get about as quickly ia
the underground as you would imagine.
To avoid obstructions sad for mechanical reasons tits road takes a circuitous
route, and yoa frequently must ride s
long way around to go a comparatively
short distance.
Millions of Londoners, who go direct
from home to business, seldom gat iato
an underground train. There sre many
overground lines built on brick arches
which go to the suburbs, where rents ars

blessed with ample light and good air—at
least as good as yes can get in foggy,
smoky London.
On all roads, whether on trunk lines,
on local, overground, or underground
lines, there are first, second, and third
class cars, or "carriages," as they call
them. Even some omnibuses that ply .
from the trunk line station also have
compartments for different classes; yoar
Englishman is very particular with whom
he rides.
There am no street cars run by ths
trolley, storage, or say other electrio
system; ao cable cara, aa horse cars; aot
a track laid for a surface road in ths city
proper. Many Americans leave London
without ever seeing a street car of any
kind, and yet ia tte metropolis 1,000 street
cars run daily over IM miles of track,
but they sre aot permitted is crowded
thoroughfares; they sea confined to the
outlying districts. I have ouly seen them
in tte east sad. The street cars ara
"double deckers," and, like tte 'buses,
they carry more outside thaa inxide passengers, but the number of passengers is
limited. When the car hss reached its
limit it will take up no more passengers. ■
Every passenger hss tte right to a seat,
and, to use a paradoxical phrase, every
Englishman stands up for Us right to a
seat
Street cars ara aot needed in the city.
Nearly all London streets are in as good
condition for driving as our Central Park
toads. There sre 8,000 hansoms, 4,000
foor wheelers, and 8,000 omnibuses, se
that you are not obliged to walk on account of the absence of cars. Ths London
cab service is tte best aad cheapest is
the world. The writer says this, aat*itt-
standing that ha remembers that yon cao
hire a cab in Key West for a dims. But
such cabs and such horses! Tha fare la
a hansom for a two mile drive is one
shilling (33 cento)thy tta hour, two-and-
gix (62 cents). There are ao such smart
horses te public hire anywhere as the
London sab hones. They go like the
wind if by the course, aad they go at a
Similar gait try the hoor if yoa promts*
an extra sixpence.
London drivers are not so brutal nor ao
ill tempered aa New York driven. They
do not, as a rule, curse or swear at each
other as ours do, who ars always ready
with a foul oath, Oa my last visit to
London, where I staid oft* month, I saw
s great many "blocks," bot heard only
one quarrel betwsen drivers, and ttat was
not at all serious. Tho 9,000 omnibuses
keep employed 8,000 or 9,000 horses. Ths
number of miles ran annually by tta
omnibuses is 8,800,000, and the number
of passengers carried not leas than 48,000,*
