Consumption Curable.
Since the fact that consumption is
both preventable, and in its earliest
stage curable, it has lost much of its
terror. If the first symptoms are at
once recognized, and the proper
remedy applied, very few, if any
one, need die of consumption, which
is really lung-scrofula. Like many
other diseases this formidable one
grows out of impure blood, and this,
in turn, from a diseased liver. Hence
we have the hacking cough, the
pains in chest, the inflamed lungs
and all the symptoms of hastening
consumption, all the result of de
praved blood and a diseased liver.
The use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery will arrest all such
symptoms, restore the liver to
healthy action, and send streams of
pure blood into every organ. Of

was seen lying near the road and yes

road, her garments all covered with
lime dust. She refuses all proffers
of aid. She is probably insane and
the authorities should look into the
matter.

At the Opera House to-night Miss
Prescott and Mr. McLean, a double
headed star attraction, will appear
in the most beautiful play Virgin
ius. These artists have been seen
here before in other plays and our
people may look for a- rare treat.
Speaking of the recent appearance
of this attraction in Forth Worth,
the Gazette says:
For so young an actor as McLean
to essay so difficult a role as that of
Virginius among a people with whom
the memory of John McCullough is
a recent treasure, and the recollec
tion of Edwin Forrest still fresh,
requires a great deal of that nerve
which comes from a knowledge of
the possession of ability: to succeed
in giving even a tolerably satisfac
tory interpretation is a victory; to
win the applause of the people and
the rich encomiums of the critics is
a triumph. It takes the last taimi to
fitly describe the success of Mr.
McLean. He gives an interpretation
of Virginius that is as stroner, as
tender as anything that has been
seen in this generation.
Of Miss Prescott's Virginia top
much cannot be said in praise, It
was graceful, sveet, girlish, woman
ly, There was an ineffable charm in
everything she said and did that
made her pleasing always. The
character is a difficult one to draw
the line between the too err eat weak
ness of the girl and too great
LifuKm ui vmc woman, -aut miss
Piesoott drew it with a hand so
steady, U SRiH o sure as to uiaVethe
character neither the one nor the
other. 't
To morrow afternoon a apeeial
matinee wiU Ua given, when Ingo
map will be presented. Doors will
open at 2 o'clock and the curtain
will rise at 3 o'clock. At night Ue
last appearance will be presented-
which has proved so satisfactory
and will very soon begin the erec
tion of a fine building for its central
station.
Belford's for March.
There is a lot of good matter in
Beford's Magazine for March, nota
bly a good story, "A Young Girl's
Ideal," by Miss Julia Magruder, and
"A Couple of Vagabonds," by James
V. Steele. Among the soldier pa
pers are "Wealth and Its Conse
quences, by N. G. Parker, and. "The
Cost of Things," by "X." "Novel
ists on Novels" contains short let
ters in which a number of novelists
name their favorite works of fiction.
The article is curious and instruc
tive. The editorial departments oc
cupy a great deal of space, and this
month, as usual, they are ably filled.
Colonel Piatt's own special depart
ment bristles with suggestive titles
and pointed paragraphs. The sub
jects are "The Sale of the Presi
dency," "Vacant Pews and Worried
Pulpits," "The Infant Mind," and
"The Truth About Samoa." In the
latter the editor glances rapidly at
Germany's various efforts at colonic
zation, wonders at the apathy with
which some of the stronger naval
powers regard it and frees his mind
about Bismarck. The novellette for
the month is a fascinating story en
titled "A Covenant With Death,"
by the author of "An Unlaid Ghost."
It is published complete. BelfordCs
is issued by Bedford, Clarke & Co.,
New York, at $2.50 a year.

The late sheet music publications

tiago Waltz," by Corbin, very pretty
and showy for piano, (50 cts.); and
"Hungarian March," by Coverly, a
characteristic piece for piano, (35
cts.) All the songs have tastefuj
piano accompaniments; and the in
strumental solos are all worthy of a
place on any pianoforte. Any of
these pieces of music mailed to any
address, postage paid, on receipt of
