REMARKABLE CAREER OF SENOBA AM- ASTIA RUBIO DE PASCADERO.

The death is announced of one ol

the «most remarkable) women) | that Mexico has ever produced. Not

withstandibg her strange’ and: perilous career, sheattained a ripe old age and became one of the wealthiest women in the republic. This woman was Senora Amastia Rubio de Pascadero. In her early womanhood she devoted her time to robbery, and if half the reports regarding her career are true, it is no wonder that she left a vast fortune at ber death. One of her not- able exploits was a stage robbery in | the state of Zacallecas. One night} she dressed herself in men’s clothing, and, mounting a horse, rode from San Antonio to the Zecaliecar and Agnas Calientas stage road, where she waited in & small mesquite grove for the south bound stage to pass, As the postilions came up, she commanded them, with revoiver in hand to stop, put out their torches and fall into the rear of the coach, which was afew yards behind them. She then advanced upon the driver and keeper, who were made to dismount, expecting every moment to

be shot from ambush, as she kept saying: “ Don’t shoot unless they offer resistance.” The passengers,

eight in number, who were inside the stage, were led to believe, from the female road agent's conversation that an armed party was in the busb, and when she came up and demanded their money, watches and jewelry, they lost nc time in obeying her. She then bade the passengers good night, and after admonishing them not to make a movement within half an hour, disappeared in the grove.

During her career she killed a great many men, and was a terror to the people of Sindloa, Jaliseo and Sonora. Federal and State troops chased her for years, but could never entrap ber. It was stated that the reason that she gave for adopting such a remarkable mode of life was the marder by Faderal troops of her intended husband years ago, when she was in ber tecns. She then made a vow that she would kill or ruin five men for every year she should be permitted to live. She was one of the most desperate bandits Mexico ever produced, notwithstand- ing she was a woman. Before her death she related her strange history, and bequeathed her immense fortune to charities, At her request, she was buried beside her dead lover in her native town, San Antonio.

New Year's Callsin New York. |}

The custom of receiving calls on New Year's Day, so long a distinctive New York institution, has almost died out. A few old tasbioned people and families still adhere to it, but some fal! from the ranks even of these with every new year, for the most loyal adherent of ancient forms and customs is not proof against the neglect of those whom they are endeavoring to serve, and it is not necessary to stay at home, dress, and provide a refreshment table for cards. The truth is, New York has become too large for the observance of such a custom, and social relations too complicated. The young people do not care abcut it, it savors too much of old Knickerbocker habits. They are more at leisure than their Dutch aacestors. They meet the day before New Year's and the day after. Why should they make a special thing of meetiog on New Years Day! The day is still kept, however but in a different way. Dinovers, entertainments, coustry parties and merry makings, rides, impromptu dances and the like have taken the place of making and receiving calls.

In Many Lands.

In one tribeof eastern Africa it is regarded as the ne plus ultra of galiantry for the lover to parade betore the hut of his inamorata astride of a huge boar.

The Brahmins betroth their children at the age of 8 years, and some even ut 5. They are extremely superstitious, aod if a Brahmin, when going in search of a wife for bis son,should meet any- thing considered ualaucky he gives up the search for the nonce.

The lover among the ancient Persians burned his hand or check to prove his devotion and then showed it to his lady- slave. If she was ‘‘wiliin,’ then she bound the injured part with a silken scarf, but if Sbdurate she sent the man to a physician for bealing salve

In Thibet the young man sets his mind on his sweetheart and informs her parents of his inclination, who, if they approve of the match, go and have a three days’ carousal at his house and the marriage is complete.

HAT AILS | YOU?

Do you feel dull, languid, low-spirited, life- less, and indescribably miserable, both physi- cally and mentally; experience a sense of fullness or bloating after eating, or of “ gone- ness,’’ or emptiness of stomach in the morn- ing, tongue coated, bitter or bad taste in mouth, irregular appetite, dizziness, frequent headaches, blurred eyesight, “ floating specks” before the eyes, nervous prostration or ex- haustion, irritability of temper, hot flushes, alternating with cuenr. sensations, sha ; biting, transient pains here and there, cold feet, drowsiness after meals, wakefulness, or disturbed and unrefreshing sleep, constant, indescribable feeling of dread, or of impend- ~~ calamity ?

If you have all, or any considerable number of these symptoms, you are suffering from that most common of American maladies— Bilious Dyspepsia, or Torpid Liver, associated with Dyspepsia, or Indigestion. The more complicated your disease has become, the greater the number and diversity of symp- toms. No matter what stage it has reached, Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery will subdue it, if taken according to direc- tions for a reasonable length of time. If not cured, complications multiply and Consump- tion of the Lungs, Skin Diseases, Heart Disease, Rheumatism, Kidney Disease, or other grave maladies are quite liable to set in and, sooner or later, induce a fatal termination.

Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis- covery acts powerfully upon the Liver, and through that great blood~purifying organ,

cleanses the system of all blood-taints and im- purities, from whatever cause arising. It is equally efficacious in acting upon the Kid- neys, and other excretory organs, cleansing, strengthening, and healing their diseases. As an appetizing, restorative tonic, it promotes digestion and nutrition, thereby building up both flesh and strength. In malarial districts, this wonderful medicine has gained great celebrity in curing Fever and Ague, Chills and Fever, Dumb Ague, and kindred diseases.

Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis- covery

GURES ALL HUMORS,

from a common Blotch, or Eruption, to the worst Scrofula. Salt-rheum, “ Fever-sores,”’ Scaly or Rough Skin, in short, all diseases caused by bad blood are conquered by this powerful, purifying, and invigorating medi- cine. Great Eating Ulcers rapidly heal under its benign influence. Especially has it mani- fested its potency in curing Tetter, Eczema, Brysipelas, Boils, Carbuncles, Sere Eyes, Scrof- ulous Sores and Swellings, Hip-joint Disease, “White Swellings,” Goitre, or Thick Neck, and Enlarged Glands. Send ten cents in stamps for a large Treatise, with colored plates, on Skin Diseases, or the same amount for a Treatise on Scrofulous Affections.

“FOR THE BLOOD IS THE LIFE.” Thoroughly cleanse it by using Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and good digestion, a fair skin, buoyant spirits, vital strength and bodily health will be established,

CONSUMPTION,

which is Scrofula of the Lungs, is arrested and cured by this remedy, if taken in the earlier stages of the disease. From its mar- velous power over this terribly fatal disease, when first offe this now world-famed rem- edy to the public, Dr. Pierce thought seriously of calling it his “Consumprion Curz,” but abandoned that name as too restrictive for a medicine which, from its wonderful com- peg cae | tonic, or strengthening, alterative or blood-cleansing, anti-bilious, pectoral, and nutritive a is unequaled, not only

as a rem for Consumption, b Chronic Diseases of the > oo oe On

Liver, Blood, and Lungs.

For Weak Lungs, Spitting of Biood, Short- ness Of Breath, Chronic Nasal Catarrh, Bron- chitis, Asthma, Severe Coughs, and kindred affections, it is an efficient remedy.
