SOMETHING ABOUT THE NEXT PRES IDENT OF THIS COUNTRY. Hair the Grandson of Tippecanoe Was I'duratftl Ilitf Marriage First Home in IiidiaiiaMli Tlie I'l-enent Kesldence. Mrs. IlarrUon a Cultured Woman. On passing down the? OLio river by tho old fftshioueil steamboat mode of travel, about t went y miles south of Cincinnati, one may look up on to one. of the hills on the north sido of the river and sec tho white shaft that marks tho grave of Old TipjeeaU(H!. It was hereabout that IJen Harrison who, half a century after his grandfather had led his party to vietory, take., up the standard for the same pur im.e sjent liis childliood. Though the gtfeat grandchild of a governor of Vir ginia and grandchild of a president of the I'nited States, lien Harrison was not city born and bred. In 1S:W Cincinnati, which i-. twenty miles distant from North Bend, had a population of less than 40,000 peo ple, and the only way of getting thero was by stage or by the river. North Bend was as juiet as the present sito of l'residcnt Harrison's grave. 6 1JCN IIAItKISON'S niUTIIPLACE. Ben Harrison lived in this country place and w:is seven years old when his grandfather was elected President. But his education was cared for by his father, John Soitt Harrison, who had liims-clf been governor of the northwestern terri tjry and a member of congress, and at the age of lti an age when the tastes, the intellectual culture and the social bearing are principally formed the youth was entered at tho Miami university, at Oxford, Ohio. Here he spent two years, lieing graduated at 18. Here also in this atmosphere of study Harrison met his wife, a daughter of Pr Scott, the pro fessor of chemistry at the university. Mr-;. Harrison bears evidence of her early surroundings. She is a woman of raro culture and her attainments are manifest from the fact of her being a prominent and active memlior of the Indies' Literary society of Indianapolis. She is also ex tremely fond of painting and lias douo some excellent work on china herself. A great deal of her attention is given to the Indianapolis Orphans' home. At -1 years of age, with a profession, 200 anil fa wife.Harrison went to Indianap olis and swung out his sign. The house in which the young couple first lived in In dianapolis is still standing. It was then on the outskirts of the town, but is now near the center of a large city. It is a little one story frame building with three rooms. There, in 1S"4. Mr. and Mrs. Harrison be gan 11 life of "love in a cottage." Senator Harrison has told how ho fjot his first case The incident was given to tlte corresjiondent of The Phila delphia Press while riding by thi-ss house with the senator. HAnnisox's i-iust house in indian- AI'OMS. "Right in front of that door," ho said. "I received my first lawyer's fee. It was the lirst Sunday in our new home, and I had walked out on the sidewalk in the afternoon and was standing there looking with some pride at the front of the house whon a man clattered up on horseback He quickly made known his errand. A man had been arrested at Clermont, about eight miles fromhere. on the charge of obtaining money under false pretenses. The rider wished me to appear before tho justice of tho peace there lor the prosecu tion I agreed to do so, and he handed me a five dollar gold piece. It was not an enormous fee. but I was glad to have it. The sum was hardly large enough to war rant a buggy, so the next morning I rode to Clermont on the back of a pony that I hired at a stable. I came back homo that night pretty well chafed, but I had suc ceeded in what I went for." Just as Harrison was beginning to get a start at the law the war came on, and he was in the field winning military lau rels, while he was missing tho opportunity to win legal fees at home. This, and the attention ho has given to politics, includ ing the time spent in the United States senate, has kept Harrison a poor man, notwithstanding his success as a lawyer. But he has gained that which is better than wealth comfort in his home and tho respect and affection of Ids neighbors. y n THC PUKSENT HOMESTEAD MRS. HAB niSON. ne lives in-.a substantial brick dwelling, with a large porch, a pleasant lawn and a btable in the rear, to which a driveway leads by the house, and where is kept tho family carriage, driven principally by Mrs. Harrison. Mrs. Harrison is about the same ago as her husband. They were married young and have spent thirty-four years together. Their daughter, Mrs. McKee, is with them, and her child, Benjamin McKee, about a year and a half old, is a great pet with his grandfather. The religious element stands out prom inent in the household. Both Mr. and Mrs. Harrison are members of and work ers in the First Presbyterian church of Indianapolis. They were prominent in Bible class and Sunday school until the fc -iai josh. TZurn jar'gesii aSfcsseaifc frmLF vj-piiasK t mr general was sent to Washington as a sen ator. There can bo u opposition made to anything pertaining to tho private life of Senator Hurrison. As a hu oand and father, he has long held an enviable posi tion before those who know him iuti uiatcly. As a worker in church and char itable matters his record is first class. As a temperate man, it may be said that he has never been kjown to enter a saloon in Indianapolis. He is earnest and con sistent, and it has been long well known that his word is as good as his bond. WHY IT DESERTS CLEVELAND. The Duflalo New Courteously Answers is Courteous Inquiry. The Buffalo News, more than any other paper or any other influence, is responsi ble to the country for Grover Cleveland. It first dragged him from the obscurity to which he belongs. It boomed him for sheriff and for mayor, to both of which offices he was elected. In both of these offices he did well, and it is said that his hanging of a fellow citizen was done with a neatness and dispatch that gratified all his friends and put to shame his carping enemies. Thus encouraged and embold ened. The News carefully groomed him and trotted him out for the gubernatorial race in New York state. Again ho was successful and again he acquitted himself fairly as governor, being closely watched and constantly coached by Daniel Man ning through his crafty and able lieuten ant, Dan Lamout, who, at Mr. Manning's request.was made private secretary. Again Tho News was first in the field for the great national race, handling Grover and staking everything on his ability to "get there." Having run him under the wire a winner by a nose length, The News waited in confidence to see tho grandest and most perfect administration on rec ord. Great was its disappointment. As the years went by The News grew colder and colder, and the opening of tho cam paign finds it strongly arrayed against him which, by the way, is ono of tho many very yellow straws to bo found in Cleveland's native state. Being asked by tho Albatiy Union why Tho News is not now for Cleveland as in tho days of yoro that paper answers as follows: Having been asked why in a friendly and courteous way, it is not amiss, per haps, to tell Tho Union, and others who may be interested, why The News does not "make a good fight" for Cleveland this year: Because ho is not flic man ho was four years ago. Then he was an honest, sim ple minded man, with no apparent pur pose but to servo the people and niako himself an honored name. He has devel oped what the boys call "the big head" since then, and makes the samo mistake Louis XIV is said to havo made when ho sat for a picture of tho Creator of tho world. Because lie has pretended to reform the civil service and has made that pretense a mask for carrying out grudges and vex ing friends. Because he has persistently snubbed the city that gave him his wonderful start in public life. Because ho has launched at tho last of his administration, when it can do harm and can do no good, a dangerous scheme of "tariff reform." Because he has allowed New York state politics to be run by a clique of Albany politicians and national offices by '.n of fensive southern combination ono of whoso members (Garland) is in disgrace, but retained in office, and another (Bay ard) distrusted as a thoroughly unpracti cal man and dishonored by n succession of the worst appointments ever made under any administration. Because ho signed the rebel war flag order as a silly bit of clap trap and re canted on false grounds. Because he stayed away from the St. Louis encampment when ho should have gone and went when it was apparent it was to patch up a sore. Because ho took a "ghoulish glee"' in vetoing widows' pensions often on strained objections or none worth con sidering. Because the government has been forcibly feeble throughout under his ad ministration full of cheap buncombe, of toadying to southern sentiment and of meddle muddle experiments in tariff mat ters. iiecauso ho has proved a weak man where ho was thought a strong man, a vain man in his dodging of criticism where he was thought to bo too earnest and too well poised to care for opposition of any sort, a stubborn man where he was thought a firm one as in the Gar land case, and while claiming to be a rep resentative of Democratic ideas has kept the great leaders of Democracy at bay and divided it in congress for no motive that can be guessed unless a fear of rivalry or a selfish determination to ad vancohis own fortunes at any cost. The Dog Fennel Ticket. Everybody wants to know what Col. Ingersoll meant at Chicago last week by calling Cleveland and Thunnan tho "dog fenne!" candidates. It has been sup posed by some that he really said "dog kennel" "candidates, meaning really an ex pression of contempt; but The Press is happy to state that Col. Ingersoll did not say this or mean this, and that lie had no intention of setting a bad example by slinging campaign mud. The expression "dog fennel" has a historic meaning in this connection, and its historic sense is tho senso in which Col. Ingersoll used it. During the war of tho rebellion the Knights of tho Golden Circle, a copperhead organization that extended over several states in the Mississippi valley, used to drill in back lots, where the ugly weed known as "dog fennel" grew, because they were ashamed to drill in the public streets or conspicuous parts of town. James K. Magic, then editor of The Can ton (Ills.) Register, denounced a local company of the Golden Circle Knights by bylhe epithet of "Dog Fennel Rangers," which some village genins had applied to them by a happy inspiration. The nickname took from the start. It became the synonym for copperheads in all that region, and Col. Ingersoll, then a resident of the neighboring county of I'eona, heard it ana salted it down in Ins vocabulary of gems of eloquence. What was more natural than that he should ap ply it to tho ticket composed of Cloveland, who stayed at home during the war, and Thurnian, whose copperhead sympathies were notorious? No, the name "Dog Fennel Ticket" is not mud. It is wax, and it will stick. Xew York Press. The 13 Candidate. Allen G. Thurman, 18 letters in his name. Born Nov. 13, A. D. 1813. Nominated, , .

A Katioual Ticket Tliut All Clause of Americans Can Conistently Support. Leaders with tho Brightest Records A Clean and Strong Campaign Presaged. It seems as if it would have been im possible for tho Republican national con vent ion at Chicago to have selected another ticket that would have so solidified and unified tho grand old party as that of Harrison and Morton. There will bo no factions or soreheads in 1888, and mud throwing will be impossible. It will be the cleanest and strongest campaign on rec ord. The great warriors of the press have simultaneously rolled up their sleeves and gone into the fight with a vigor and a unanimity that must be appalling to our friends the enemy, and which presages an overwhelming victory in November. We present a collection of newspaper com ments which will show the feeling throughout the party. Philadelphia Press: Tho Republican na tional convention has done more than nominate the Republican candidate for tho presidency, it has named tho next American president. This lay in its Iower, if it acted well aud wisely in its selection, and it has acted wisely and well in placing Benjamin Harrison at the head of the Republican ticket. With the best of the party to choose from, tho conven tion has chosen the best candidate named before it; with many political paths to follow it has selected tho safest. Nominated in 1876 to lead a forlorn hopo, Benjamin Harrison carried his party to tho very threshold of victory. His brilliant leadership swept the state 111 1SS0, elected Garfield and placed himself in the senate. In 1886 ho carried the state again on the popular vote, and lost the legislature only when the continuing fraud of a gerrymander was supplemented by a corrupt election and the reckless and illegal violence of a Democratic senate. He enters another canvass with this in justice to avenge. His nomination places at tho head of the Republican campaign in Indiana the successor of Morton, the best political organizer of the state aud its most distinguished citizen. It gives the Republican canvass the enormous and preponderating advantage of a candidate identified and in harmony with the politi cal machinery, which in a closely con tested stato decides the battle by polling the last doubtful vote. Personally, the national Republican convention has placed before the country a man of clean life and high ambition, a brave soldier and tin able senator who has been right on every public question be cause ho has brought principle to bear on every public issue. His life as a man is stainless in all its relations from his youth up; his career as a soldier owed its every promotion to brave and honorable service; his position as n lawyer places him in the forefront of the bar of his state, and his record as a public man and a senator shows an equal attention to the practical work of politics and to the painstaking and sedulous discharge of public duties. Benjamin Harrison is no discovery of a day, 110 invention of a campaign. Ho is neither the product of a caucus nor the offspring of a machine. Nor has he stood among those uscicss men who share the advantages of a free government without discharging its duties, and whose solo political activity is shown in criticising the work of those who do discharge them. Levi P. Morton won long ago a national reputation as the head of ono of the great banking firms in the world. Elected to tho house of representatives, ho there added to his fame and justified the high expectations of his friends by his speeches on financial questions, which showed that he was not merely a practical banker, but understood tho theory and philosophy of finance in its largest sense and in its na tional aspects. Ho is a man whoso talents and tastes qualify him conspicuously for high public office, and thero is an evident fitness in giving this representative and leading citizen of New York tho second place on the Republican national ticket, the first having gone to tho all powerful west. New York Tribune: A convention re markable for its cool and patient deliber ation, which has never been surpassed in its declaration of Republican principles, has nominated as tho Republican candi date for the presidency ex-Senator Benja min Harrison, of Indiana. The seat in tho United States senate which ho filled worthily and with honor had been stolen by Democratic crime. His nomination for a higher office gives the people of Indiana an opportunity, which they will probably improve, to show their detestation of the crime and of the party which made Mr. Cloveland president by robbing citizens of their rights. The nomination of tho non. L. P. Mor ton for vice president will give especial satisfaction to business men of this state, who know well his merits. Truo to the policy which has led it to select candi dates with peculiar regard to their strength in the doubtful states, the con vention was not able to concede tho first placo to tho choice of New York, but ac cepted Tor tho second place the candidate named by this state, remembering how creditably he had acquitted himself in public service at home and abroad, in congress and as minister to Franco. It has been said repeatedly that the coming contest would turn less upon the personal merits of candidates than upon tho great principles involved. Yet it will be found to tho Republican cause a dis tinct advantage that it is to be repre sented by one who is personally strong, as Mr. Cleveland is personally weak, in those elements of character which com mand public confidence. Nor is it a dis advantage that the doubtful state of In diana, after presenting a candidate to the Democratic convention only to see him slaughtered at the bidding of a party des pot, now has opportunity to elect the most popular citizen of tho state instead of Mr. Cloveland. With a man so strong and worthy, the Republican party has a right to look for a popular uprising not unlike that which swept Martin Van Buren from power in 1840. He had been successful through arts of the demagogue; he had prostituted the public service to his private ambition, and the people found four years of Democ racy more than enough. They elected Harrison to put an end to the prostitution of the public service, and this year the election of another Harrison would bring the samo result. The needs of the nation will bo felt in the coming struggle far more than the personality of candidates; threatened industries, tho robbery of the people's rights in the south and in Indi ana, the debauchery of the public service, should moke the Republican cause Irre sistible. Cincinnati Commercial: Benjamin Har rison is a Republican and was al ways a Republican. He is sound on all the great principles that are laid down in the admirably constructed platform of the party. In this respect he has nothing to explain, nothing to add, nothing to take back. The platform is the embodi ment of his record. Everybody, there fore, who is a Republican can vote con sistently for Harrison, and everybody who is for American principles and American interests, as opposed to those of British free trade, can consistently vote for hlni, and to be consistent must vote for him. Furthermore, Harrison is a fine speci men of American citizenship. He Is in' the line of a great family. His great- I grandfather was one of the signers. of the U Ceeiaration ot inaepenaenco. nis grana father was a distinguished soldier and I 'resident of the United States, aud was eader in the memorable campaign of 1840, and his candidacy will revive recollections . of that wonderful contest, when the couu- try was stirred as it never was before or since; when Tippecanoe, the log cabin and hard cider excited the people and made Harmon president. We may expect a revival of the popular aud soul stirring ( songs of that period, j This ancestral lino would not be coui- plete would be very far from complete , j without tho mention of J. Scott Harrison, ' and tho father of our candidate. Ho was a citizen of this county, and was elected to cougress. He differed from tho Re publican party and from his son in poli tics. Ho was elected as a Know Nothing, and acted with the Democrats; but he was an honorable man, and pure us his ancestors. Ho was respected by all his fellow citizens, and by none more than those who differed with him politically. ( But Harrison is more, and a great deal more than the son of a father or grand- father. He inherited no wealth. Ho ' has not depended on a name. He has carved his own way through life, and by . Ins own performances as a public man, t and in places of trust, has written his name in tho public records of the nation. I He is thus known in all the states and by all tho people between the two oceans. He is a statesman with-a conscience, und his record as a public man and a private citi zen is free from sjiot or blemish. Ho needs no defense. There is nothing in his whole life as a politician, a statesman or citizen that needs defense or explana tion. His character is as pure as his name is illustrious. I This is tho kind of a man tho Rcpub t licaus have been fortunate enough to ; nominate. It is a name, too, around which the people of this country can and ! will rally. ' I Troy Times: The die is cast! Tho Ro i publican standard bearer for the cam paign of 1888 has been selected! The choice of the Chicago convention falls upon Gen. I Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana. ex-United States senator, and ono of the soundest aud truest Republicans in the land. His , record is stainless. He is sound to the I coro on all great American principles. A protectionist from profound conviction, I he has always stood stanch and true against free trade in any of its protean disguises. The false cry of "revenue re form," raised to hido the free trade inten tions of Democracy and mugwumpism, has never deceived him or swerved him from his straightforward course as a champion of home industry. Ho conies from cood fichtinir stock. Soldier's blood is in his veins, inherited j from his grandfather, tho valiant old , "Tippecanoe," whose heroism was re I warded by on election to the presidency of the United States. Belonging to a family renowned for patriotic valor, it was natural that tho war of tho rebellion should draw him to the field. There ho . served with distinguished gallantry, and . rose from the rank of second lieutenant to that of major general. Sinco the war lus public services havo been of great value to his country and made his name familiar to his fellow citizens. I Such is brave Ben Harrison, the Repub lican choice for tho presidency. A fear less soldier and a wise statesman. He will sweet through the country with re sistless popularity. He will command the devoted and loyal support of all Union veterans. He dared to personally lead the boys in blue on tho enemy's lines. The old soldiers will bear that in mind; and they will rally around him during this campaign hi a" way that will strike terror to the heartsof political opponents. He will make a most excellent standard bearer for the grand old Stars and Stripes, ! under which flag so many precious lives were sacrificed during the civil war, and which now becomes the emblem of th Republican party, in contradistinction to the blood red British bandanna. Harrison and victory ! Albany Journal: By the masterly dig nity and sublime self sacrifice of James G. Blame, and by the willing and disin terested spirit of tire Republican delega tion of the Empire state, indorsed and sustained to the last diteh by the Repub licans at home, the nomination of Gen. Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana, was made possible, and. the convention at Chicago has presented him for the suffrages of the American people. Tho choice of the convention is a mac- nmcentone. nils morning the conveu- Hon was in chaos. .Never in the history ! of the party has there been so many can- j didates pressing for the nomination, so , nearly equal in point of chances and so warmly, luicompromlsingly supported by their friends. It seemed impossible to agree upon any one. Even the Republi can papers of the country admitted the situation was critical. But once again tho oraclo spoke. Like tho voice of One of old, "This is tho way, walk ye in it," the grand wisdom of that greatest of Americans. James G. Blaine, was hurried under tho sea on lightning wings, and tho convention listened, as the party has for a score of years, to his counsel. Ho could not in justice to his party be a candidate. At once the clouds cleared up. The party was again a unit. It knows no Stalwarts or Half Breeds. There are no disgruntled, unhappy men in it. The nomination of Harrison was accomplished by subterfugo or trickery. Tho race was free for all and the nomination fell by the untrammcled choice of the conven tion. There is not a defeated candidate for the nomination who will not be found on the stump this fall. Harrison has been chosen. A man from Indiana, a state brought with Its fifteen electoral votes by this one act of the con vention from tho list of doubtful states into the noble galaxy of commonwealths destined by tho God of nations to shine for the Republicanism whose principles In war he smiled on in raising up Abraham Lincoln, and in peace by recognizing Grant and Garfield. The result is a glorious one. It is redo lent with victory. Honor, virtue, states manship are the jewels our leader brings to Ids party. Harmony and spirit mark his followers. The noblest achievements in human hisfory have been wrought by men stung by defeat, and on the wreck, age of tho contest of 1884 shall arise the turrets of a redeemed republic, restored to Its former noble proportions the se curity of the people, the admiration of nations by the Republican party, with this banner Harrison and victory! Chieago Inter Ocean: The ticket is one which should command the unhesitating support of every Republican. The con vention labored honestly and earnestly to take advantage of all conditions of party successes and planted itself firmly on tho principles of advanced Republicanism and mode as standard bearers two men well known to the country for their purity of life, rectitude of purpose and devotion to Republican principles. New York World: It will be said of Mr. Harrison that he is nominated for Ids name; that if his grandfather had not been president of the United States and his great-grandfather a eigner of tho Declaration of Independence ne would not havo been the candidate. But this is idle talk. Mr. Harrison is available without reference to the honorable positions occu pied by his ancestors. Utica Herald: Gen. Harrison is in ac cord with his party. He stands firmly on its platform, is in full sympathy with its most advanced thought. In him the laws will have a faithful and firm executive, the American citizen abroad a watchful protector, tno American nsnerman. rraues man and workingman an upholder of the flag and the factory and the home. Detroit Tribune: Gen. Harrison is worthy of it, an able statesman, clean man, and was a gallaut soldier. He is a Republican of tho highest and best typo, and when his record is fairly placed bo fore the people it will compare favorably with tho best. Tho nominee for vice president is the right man in the right I place and hails from tho right state. Chicago Times: Gen. Harrison is a gen tleman of unstained reputation, and tho scavengers of tho party will vainly seek for material against him with which tw befoul tho political atmosphere. Levi P. Morton, tho candidate for vice president, is an ideal business man, and has in a great degree tho confidence of tho xeoplo of his state. Boston Journal: In nominating Benja min Harrison, of Indiana, for the presi dency of the United States tho Chicago convention has mado a selection which will be cordially approved by tho Republi can party in all states and sections, and will bo ratified, wo are confident, by the country in November. Albany Express: Benjamin Harrison, of Iudiana. for president, and Levi P. Morton, of New York, for vice president, make the strongest ticket that was within tho reach of the convention the ticket for which Republicans havo been crying and praying over since the convention begau. Boston Advertiser: He will lie a splen did candidate, not vaunting himself, not disturbed. Ho will be the leader of tho canvass, as he has led tho Republicans of Indiana in many a hard fight to their en tire satisfaction. New York Press: While Benjamin Har rison was winning heaps of laurels in tho civil war, Grover Cleveland was quietly practicing law in Buffalo. The famous apostle of free trade had hi those davs u well developed idea of the kind of pro toe tion which saves the individual, whatever becomes of the cause. Trenton Gazette: Harrison's nomination will give unusual and unalloyed satisfac tion throughout New Jersey, ne was tho favorite here from the first and we feel every confidence that he will carry the stato. Boston Transcript: The nominee is not depeudent on his ancestors for his fame, for his achievements have been honor ably accomplished by his own services in the army, in the court room and in the senate chamber of the United Statest. New York Snn: He is a straight Repub lican, yet involved in no factional ani- mosities. Everybody who has ever be- ! longed to tho Republican party can sup I port him. Stalwarts. Half Breeds. Blaine j men, Conkling men, all can take Harrison , without any sacrifice of feeling. St. Louis Globe-Democrat: Harrison I and Morton, the ticket, has a sonorous ! and resonant sound. It will undoubtedly prove strong and popular with tho coun try. Harrison represents tho alert, en terprising and aggressive west, and Mor ton stands for all that is vigorous, solid and resolute in tho east. New York Herald: Mr. Harrison has ' served a term in the United States senate. He showed himself there, as in the poli- , tics of his stato, a vigilant and keen, and ' indeed a rather bitter partisan; a thorough ! going high tariff protectionist; a man of I strong will clear headed, but somewhat narrow. New York Press: It is doubtful if abet ter ticket could havo been nominated. It is strong at both ends. Strong in patriot Ism, strong in statesmanship, strong hi legal and business attainments, and long before election it will bo so strong in the hearts of all true Americans that it will bo elected by an overwhelming majority next November. Troy Telegram: It may safely be said that New York's electoral vote is assured for the Republican national candidates this year. Mr. Harrison not only brings an historic name, but tho record of dis tinguished services in the field and in tho halls of congress. New York Mail and Express: Gen. Har rison owes little of his prominence or po- htical success to his ancestry. Ho h:u won at every step of his career, because! ho has been a true, nobly ambitious, patriotic, courageous, capable aud grow- ing man. lie t her as lawyer, or soldier or statesman, ho 1ms always acquitted himself nobly, always done his duty, and always been truo to his character an4 convictions as a Christian gentleman. The best record of his career is to be found in his published expressions as to the questions that havo tested his ade quacy to the high positions ho has occu pied, in the halls of national legislation and in the political campaign where great issues were decided. Of Mr. Morton and his long and honorable career it is need less to speak in this community, whero ho has been known in all ways and by all men. His nomination should insure the electoral votes of New York beyond ques tion. Cat ulrj' Troops on the March. There Is nothing particularly exciting or delightful in tramping along at a trot in a cava.ry column. The clouds of dust sent up by the thousands of hoof beats fill eyes, nose and aix passages, give external surfaces a uniform dirty gray color, and form such an impenetrable veil that for many minutes together you cannot seo even your hand beforo you. Apparently just at tho ioint of impending suffocation a gentle igh of wind makes a rift, and u free breath is inspired. Dust and horso hairs penetrate everywhere. Working under tho clothing to "the skin, and fixed by the sweat, the sensation is as though one was covered by a creeping niass of in sects. Accumulations occur in the pock ets; the rations come In for their full share, and with the bacon particularly, so thoroughly do dirt and horse hairs be come incorporated that no process of cleansing car. remove them. Lieut. A. B. Isham. Acutenrss of Ctuilne Scent. Not long ago Mr. George J. Romanes showed that a dog may recognize the peculiar odor of his master among a crowd of other persons, and in upite of th presence of powerful perfumes, even at a great distance. Mr. W. J. Russell has supplemented these experiments by oth ers, in which small pieces of dry biscuit, to us ulmost odorless, were" quickly scented out in a large dining room, even when hidden under newspapers, a cush ion, a boot, a fire shovel, or a foot stool on which cologne had been poured.

Nathan S. Cleveland. 27 E. Canton st.. Boston, writes : " My daughter, now '! years old, was in perfect health until it year ago when she began to complain ot fatigue, headache, debility, dr..itoss, indigestion, and loss of appetite. I con cluded that all her complaints originated in impure blood, and induced her to take Aycr a Sarsaparilla. This medieinesoou restored her blood-making organs to healthy action, and in due time reistali lished her former health. I tiud Ayer's Sarsaparilla a most valuable remedy for the lassitude and debility incident to spring time." J. Castright, Brooklyn Power Co., Brooklyn, N. Y., says : "As a Spring Medicine, I find a splendid substitute for the old-time compounds in Ajer's Sarsaparilla, with a few doses of AyerV Pills. After their use, I feel fresher and st longer to go through the summer." Ayer's Sarsaparilla, PREKAKED ISY Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass. Fries 91; six bottles, 5. Worth & s bonis.
