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

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.

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.

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.

HARRISON AND VICTORY?
THE CRY OF THE PRESS THROUGH
OUT THE LAND.
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

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..

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
