Dear Sir ;—This certifies that I had for
years been differing with Cstsrrh in the

I did to my satisfaction, for I am now a

gave me up as incurable, tor I v. us spitlin;'

like going to sleep. I have ured your
medicines ns you directed and found them
the only medicines that gave me any relief.
I remain yours with respect,

On the 15th of July, 1880, I was taken
sick with a pain in my Icit side near my

and all I could get done me no good; 1
became worse and the doctors could uol
tell wbal was the matter. Purple spats

went to Dr. Ruhl and stated my cose to
him; be told me it was the Heart Disease,
and gave me some medicine which 1 took
and hefro one week I felt relieved, and
now feci ns weil as I ever did. I thank
Dr. Ruhl for saving my life as no other
physician could do me any good, when 1
went to him I was at onoe relieved.

I know that my hands may be hard and
rough,
That my cheeks may be worn and pale;
But my heart is mada of good, sound stuff,
That never will falter or fall;
And though in tbe world with my mates I
stand,
j To share in tbe battle of life,
I I take thee, my girl, by the dainty band,
As my own, my sweet,bonny wife.
Though never a jeweled wreath may span
The curia on tby beautiful brow,
I’ll pledge thee my heart and troth as a
man, ■
And love thcc forever as now.
Aud though the bright dreams of Lore’s
sunny prime
Too often the future belie,
The steep hills of life together we’ll cllml>
And conquer onr fate—thou and I.
My coat may be poor, my words be but few,
Yet there’s never an ermined King
Can offer his Queen a present more true
Than mine of a heart and a ring;
That tiny gold link, with which we may
bind
Our hearts in one common bond,
And rear us a home, where happiness
shrined,
May dwell with affection moat fond.
> What more would we seek f What more
would we havef
What mo re could fair nature bestow,
If, oi all the gifts, wo ventured to crave
The richest that mortals might know f
For aye, dearest girl, shall our wedded love
Flash, star-like atop of our life;
And never will I a base traitor prove
To my heart, my home, or my wife.
FROM THE CAPITAL.
Washington, D. C., March 29,1882.
To the Mining Journal:
The dull and miserable weather
prevailing here during the past fort
night had no corresponding effect on
public matters or the ceaseless ener
gies of onr public men. Appoint
ments were made as usual and the
contest for place and position was
and still remains unabated.
Tbe Star Route cases, like the ka
leideosoopes, are honslantly presenting
new aspects. A. M. Gibson, who, by
the way, nsed to edit the Uniontown
(Pa.) Genius of Liberty, after the
late war and since acquired notoriety
as correspondent of the New York
Sun, and manipulator of testimony
for the late Potter Committee, and
W. A. Cook, a noted lawyer here, for
merly a preacher, have recently sev
ered their connection with the gov
ernment side of the cases. Oook was
the leading lawyer under Garfield
and McVeagh, and Gibson his chief
detective. Bliss, a lawyer-politician
and intimate with the President, is
the manager under Arthur and
Brewster. Bliss and Oook could not
agree and Cook went into retirement,
carrying with him a very peculiar
but plainly-worded lecture on pro
fessional ethics from the Attorney-
General. How the notorious cases
Will terminate 1 have not the temer
ity to predict.
There have been exciting scenes in
the lower House during the enrrent
session. One of the most exciting I
ever witnessed in that theatre of his
torical events took place on last Wed
nesday, when MoLane, of Maryland,
boldly lassoed the Speaker of the
House .or a violation of its rules am)
the privileges o( its members in un
dertaking without its order to tepri
mand a member for words spoken in
debate. He was not brought to hia
knees, however, until the followitg
day, when the reporters had all gene
and consequently the newspaper no
tice of tbe affair wa- meagre. Mooney,
of Mississippi, was the one he under
took to reprimand, and when the
member arose to protest the Speaker
insisted on his right to do so. McLans
then rose to a question of privilege,
and the -Reeorcfdisolosea, amongothers,
the following proceedings:
Mr.McLane—Aod I have read the lan
guage of tbe Chair, addressed to a member
of this House, which is in my judgment a
breach of the privilege of thia House, and
I submit to the Chair that any member of
this House who submitted to hie reprimand ■
would bo unworthy to hold a seat on this
floor. [Applause.]
Ttie Speaker. —The gentleman from Mary
land may measure by some peculiar stan
dard the privileges of members.
Mr. Me Lane —l measure them by the
rules of the House, to which the Chair I*
equally beuud witli the members thereof.
These rules (and he held them np before
the Speaker) constitute the law of the
House, and the Chair violates the privi
leges of the House m violating these rules..
1 ask to have them read.
This wu Jon#, but the Speaker
■till stoutly raaiitained his position,
and the excitement became intense, .
the members on both sides crowding i
down towards the area in front, the
people in the galleries rising to their
feet, the Speaker excited, but McLane
standing in his place, cool, resolute,
and unmoved.
Ben, Bnlterworth, of Ohio, here
came to the rescue and said:
I rise to a parliamentary inquiry. I
do not understand the Chair to bold that
it has a right, in a technical seme, to repri
mand a member without the consent of
the House.
The Chair was too obtuse to perceive
the point so ingeniously laid in this
inquiry by his brilliant friend and
colleague and re-aseerted his claim.
At this point a motion was made and
carried to adjourn, which was done
amid great excitement, McLane being
warmly congratulated by bis col
leagues. e
The question was called up again
by McLane on the following day and
resolutions were introduced by young
Kenna, of West Virginia, vindicating
tbs privileges of members and the
rules of the House.
The Speaker in the meanwhile had
been brought to his senses and said
he did not use the word reprimand
in a teohnioal sense, but only in its
ordinary cense to “check” or "repress”
a member when out of order, and
there was nothing in the resolutions
for which he, himself would not vole.
After this frank admission Mr. Kenna
said that with that statement he was
content, and if the Speaker had been
so understood by his side of the House
there would have been no occasion
for drafting the resolutions, and he
thereupon gracefully withdrew them
amid applause,
The Anti-Polygamy bill gave rise
to animated discussion and that on
Chintse Immigration to an extended
and brilliant debate. Anon.

A FRIENDLY GAMS.
“Say mister I” said a tall, sunburned
mm with a wide brimmed hat, and
he edged hii way into the managing
editor'e room yesterday afternoon.
"Sey, mister, do you know anything
about keards?"
"Why, yes,” responded the editor.
"I know how to play 'everlasting'
and 'old maid,' and things of that
kind; why ?”
“That’s juet what I want to ask
you about. Now, in playing ‘old
maid,' suppose the man who holds
the aoe antes and passes on the draw,
whose bet ie it 7"
“That isn’t the way I play it,"
■aid the editor. “In my game the
player who has a queen after the
other cards are played is the 'old
maid."’
“Perhaps it is 'everlasting' that I’m
thinking of,” mused the stranger.
“Suppose in ‘everlasting’ you should
catch an old maid on the draw and
when the rest of the keards was
played you found you had not filled.
What then ?”
“I don't see how that question
could arise in that game," said the
editor. "Maybe vou are talking of
the game called 'poker.”
"‘Poker ?’what’s that” asked the
stranger looking up in innocent sur
prise.
“That's where they aces and lulls
and that sort of thing.”
"Do you know how to play it,
stranger?” asked the tall man draw
ing out a pack of cards. “Will you
show me how ?”
The editor tan over the cards aad
dealt two hands rapidly.
"Now," he explained, "two pairs
beat one pair, three ot a kind beat
two pair, a flush beats threes, and
fours of a kind beat a flush. What
have yon got?”
The stranger laid down a mixed
hand as the editor explained that it
was worthless, as his own hand held
a pair.
"Lemme deal ’em once” said the
stranger, running them off clumsily.
“Five each ?"
"Yes,” said the editor, seeing that
he had gotten hold of a sharper and
making up his mind to teach him a
lesson. "Five each.”
"Now, what do we do?” asked the
sharper.
“If we are belting, I’d ante a dol
lar and you’d cover it with two.
Then if I wanted to come in I'd
plank another dollar, and then "
“Hold on I hold on I don't go so
fast. You put up two dollars at
different times and I put two all at
once. That's it?"
“Yes, and then we draw."
“Let's try it once, for fun, if you
don't mind," said the sharper with
unnatural eagerned?,
“All right,” smiled the editor, and
he threw two dollars on the table,
which were promptly covered.
“Now, you say we draw. How many
do I take ?"
"You may take what you like, I
don't want any," replied the editor.
“I stand pat 1"
"Then I'll take one keard. Do we
bet know ? ’
"Yes.”
The stranger bot cautiously, and
the editor raise! him, ami was seen
until there was sls wagered, though
there wvs no money up beyond the
ante.
“I reckon 1 won’t bet any more,
Mid the stranger timidly—“who
beats?” aad belaid down four
“1 bent you," said the managing
editor, amt he laid doau .* etiaight
flush. "You owe m sl6 '
The etranger looked at the cards
semo time, and then dashed hi fist
down on the table.
“You played fair did ye ?
“I did,”
Slowly the stranger pulled out a
greasy wallet and laid down a S2O
bill.
The editor gave him the change,
and the man went out, still running
over tho cards and wondering how it
happened.
"I thought hs was a sharp and he’s
only a flat," said the editor, explain
ing tho circumstance to the cashier,
as he handed in the S2O for charge.
“Like to oblige you, old boy," said
the cashier, “but that S2O is a coun
terfeit."

SLIP PINO OUT WITH THE TIDE.
Old Sam King, the smuggler of San
Francisco, is no more. The old rea
dog raseed away so quietly that it
was by the merest accident that a re
porter, while sauntering along the
water front yesterday, heard the news
of the veteran's death. The informa
tion was given by an cld man in a
blue shirt, who waa energetically
scrubbing one of the wharves on
Berry street with a bloom.
“You see that saloon across tbe
way 1” said the scavenger. ‘‘There’s
where old Sam died. He was in there
talkin' to aome one, and the first thing
they knew he gave a moan and says:
‘Boys, I'm goin’ ; the anchor's up.”
“We carried him over to cue of
Alexander's sheds, where he used to
sleep. He braend up a little after we
laid him on the bed, and asked how
the tide was, and when I told him
'twas running in, he cays, T guess
I’ll slip out when the tide turns.’ To
ward evening he wandered like, and.
thought he was out at sea, and kept
giving orders about settin' the stu'n
sails. The last thing he says was,
‘Jim, Inff her up, an’ give him a broad
' side if he tries to board us.’ I went
over to the drug store to get some
thing for him, and when I got back
he was dead. Nobody had noticed
him go off, but I looked out at the
ships, and I’m blamed if they wasn't
all swinging around with the turn cl
the tide.”
A Case roR Charity. —One of De
troit's millionaires was walking homs
*ard yesterday when he encountered
a lime man with a greasy paper in
his hand.
As the pair came to a halt the lame
man asked :
“Will you dome the favor to read
this paper ?"
“Can’t do it—left my eye glasses
home," was the reply.
“Then I will state the contents to
yon.”
“No use—no use. I'm so deaf that
I couldn't catch more than one word
out of three."
“I'm a poor man with a wooden
leg, sir.”
"Yes—l see—l t.se. Lots of poor
men with no wooden legs. You are
lucky sir, and I congratulate you.
Must have cost you fifty dollars, and
I presume it is a nice leg."
“If you had any clothes, sir."
“Yes, but I haven't."
“Or old boots."
“I m wearing my old boots you see.
You are just six months too early to
get ’em.”
“I haven't Lad a meal sinse yes
terday."
“Nor I, either. We are cleaning
house, and for the last three days I've
had to eat a cold Innch off the piano.”
"Then you couldn’t spare a niok

"Is that so? Then we’re both Lard

"Well, Mosieor,” demanded hi* su
perior, why have you stayed away
all this week ?"
"Yon sir,” replied the olerk, "gave
me permission.”
“I gave yon leave for forty-eight
hours only, and not for six days.'

to ask your permission for the night

And he'll turn a ten-acre lot up-side
