M» W>» Not ••i»iCR. [NtJW York Herald ] Upob a recent homeward bound trip was a gentleman of not widely extended ocean ex perience, who heretofore had made only pleasant summei trips—trips when the ocean was as the proverbial mill pond for the greater portion of the time, with a storm such as the winter brings forth unknown. “Are you a good sailor?” he asked of his nearest table com panion at dinner the first day. “Reasonably so,” replied the other, “Are you?” “Yes, indeed. I couldn’t get sick.” “Sure of that are you? For my own part I’ve made a great many voyages in all parts of the world. I never have been sea sick yet, but 1 don’t think lever stepped on board a steamer without having the thought that this may be my turn.” The first speaker turned at this, and winked at the others at the table, as much as to indi cate, “Well, we won’t see much of our friend if we have rough weather.” The others replied with a smile, as if they indors ed his views. The first and second day un til midnight passed pleasantly. Then the ship began to pitch and roll, and well it might, for it had struck the track of a cy clonic storm and the next morn ing it w as in the midst of the storm itself. When the travel er who feared that “this might be his time” found his way to his seat, he discovered that his companions were missing. “It was rather a hard night, steward,” he said. “A great many of the passengers sick, I suppose?” "That they are, sir,” answer ed the steward. “All of this table sick, sir, but you, sir.” “What! Mr. Blank also?” ask ed the voj ager in mock surprise, as he mentioned the name of the person who couldn’t get sick. “Well, I’ll have to go to see him later.” A few hours later he found his way to the cabin of the su perior sailor, who was groaning wretchedly, when not imploring some one to knock him on the head and throw him overboard. “Why, how is this, Blank? You seasick?” The victim made an effort to collect himself. Evidently he recalled the foolish remark of the first day. “Oh,” said he, “I’m not seasick. It’s only a slight nausea. You see it was this way. My tooth brush was a bit old. In cleansing my teeth this morning a loose bris tle caught in my throat and nauseated me. To be sure, I’m not quite myself yet in the stom ach, but it isn’t seasickness, I assure you, and now go away, won’t you, old man? for I don’t feel like talking.” “Four days later Mr. Blank pulled himself together, and got on deck, very pale, very weak and dejected. “Ah! Blank, I’m glad to see you around again,” remarked his acquaintance. “By the way, how’s that tooth brush, with the loose bristle?” “D the tooth brush.” mut tered the man. “It upset me completely, and I suppose every one thinks I was seasick. But I was not, I can assure you; it was only those confounded loose bristles.” A Timely Shot. [New York Preu.l Alexander Hamilton, who died a few years ago, was, I be lieve, one of the few men the world has known who killed his man without being called to ac count or questioned in any wa; He was a brother-in-law of N. Tailor, one of our most dis tinguished citizens, and a des cendant, of course, of the only Alexander Hamilton of revolu tionary fame. He was some thing of a dude in his dress and would have attracted attention anywhere on that account. One night he was walking in a re tired part of the city, when he was approached by a man who asked the time. New York was a dangerous place then at night and many a man had been rob bed and some murdered by in quiries after the hour. Mr. Hamilton had a spier did watch and chain, which the fellow forthwith demanded of him when he learned the time. Be ing accustomed to protect him self, he quickly drew his pistol and fired point blank. The highwayman dropped without a groan. Not a policeman was near. Mr. Hamilton supposed him to be dead. He waited there some time but not a liv ing soul approached. Finally he walked on and went home. From that night until the day of his death he firmly believed he had killed the fellow, but there was never a word written or said of it in any way, shape, or manner. It was believed that the man’s pals picked him up and disposed of him without letting the police know any thing of the killing.

Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junc tion City, 111. was told by her doctors she had Consumption and that there was no hope for her, but two bottles Dr. King’s New Discovery completely cured her and she says it saved her life. Mr. Thos. Eggers, 139 Florida St. San Francisco, suf fered from a dreadful cold, ap proaching Consumption, tried without result everything else then bought one bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery and in two weeks was cured. He is nat urally thankful. It is such re sults, of which these are sam ples, that prove the wonderful efficacy ot this medicine in Coughs and Colds. Free trial bottles at Willcox & Co’s Dru, Store.
