and face-after trying many remedies which utterly
failed to cure-I was persuaded by w. Nj. BafliS x

now, six weeks after finishing the second bottle,
pronounced myself cured.
The letter broke out, something over year ago,
on the inside of my arms, extending from the el-
bows down to the wrists also, my face, iu.
medjately round the mouth and Gin, and continued
to be perfect torment 10 me until cured bg the Blood

the cracks and sores them, liable to bleed at

Erongelist Cyrus West Field, who will be re-
membered in all time for his connection with
the Oceanic Telegraph, was born at Stockbridge
in the year 1922. Upon arriving at a proper
age he came to the City of New York, and com
menced business under the training of A. T.
Stewart the eminent merchant. He subsequent
ly became the head of one of the largest houses
in the City engaged in the manufacture and
sale of paper. -Four years ago in social par
ty, composed of some four Or five of our emi-
nent business men, the subject of connecting
Europe with America was broached. Mr. Field
at once became impressed with the idea of its
feasibility, and turned the whole energies of his
mind to bear upon the subject. He very soon,
with others, formed an association in this CITY,
composed of Peter Cooper, Moses TAYLOR, Mar
shall .. Roberts, Chandler White, S. +. b.
Morse and David Dudley Field, for the purpose
OF efecting communication between the Fast
ern and Western world. As first step, Mr..
Cyrus w. Field, with his brother David Dud-
ley and Chandler White, went to Newfoundland.
and after overcoming many legislative difiicul-
ties, procured a charter, under which they coli
structed line of telegraph from st. Johns,
Newfoundland, across that island of more than
800 miles, through sterile wilderness, compos-
ed of rock, forest and morass. Then followed
the submarine telegraph across the Gulf of st.
'-""iNiiNei ehN hiSN pit dtlGluDltu 10 Dt us
our readers will remember being lost Hence
1t is that Mr. Field trained himself for future
triumphs, for, undismayed, he Immediately or
dered new cable; then, against all seeming
possibility of success, secured the one at the
bottom of the Gulf, and thus finally relieved the
company against any material loss tele-
graphic communication with Cape Breton was
thus accomplished, connecting with the then ex-
lsting lines in Noyia Scotia. The company then
procued grants and charters for lines from Prince
Edwards Island, Nova Scotia New Brunswick.
Maine and Canada All these things accom-
pliShed. Mr. Field started for England, and there,
by unremtting efforts, succeeded in establishing
the Atlantic Telegraph Company for the pur-
pose OF connecting the European and American
Continents. What Mr. Field has had to d. to
bring about this wonderful consummation is IA
miiiar TO the world. Failure after failure never
damped his ardor or lessened his enthusiasm.
and on the memorable occasion when the cable,
apparently without cause, untwisted as it was
paying out from the igdmOn,Hon, when all were
despondcnt, it was stated that Mr. Field alone
was sanguine and sure of success. Such ener-
gy, such determination 10 triumph, has creative
power, and is only to be found in characters il
lustrated by Columbus Franklin, and other dis
coverers, who led the way in the advancement
OF civilization, and been the eyes, as it were, Of
the world in which they lived and had material
association.-N. \. Times.

THE MAN OF THE TIME.

Every great victory must have its HERO
Wherever there is Waterloo there must be u
Wellington, and in such a victory as has been
achieved in the Atlantic Telegraph there must
have been leader to whose courage and gen.
eralship the world is indebted for the compile
ton of THAT stupendous work. We believe there
or belongs Mr.. Cyrus w. Field, if not the
originator of the scheme, is as much entitled to
the distinction of being called its author, as De
Witt Clinton is of being the author of the
Erie Canal. Without his courageous energy
and perseverance it is not probable that the work
would have been carried through in many years,
and his name will as justly be remembered in
connection with the enterprise, as that of Full
ton is with steam navigation. Mr.. Field is a
very good specimen of the American character,
and a tpye of that boldness and enterprise which
have placed America in the front rank among
the nations of the earth. lie was born in Berk-
shire County, Massachusetts, where his father,
a distinguished Congregationalist clergyman,
still resides, and he is one of family of six
brothers, who have all risen to distinguished
positions in their various professions. The eld-
er brother, the Hon. David Dudley Field, of
this City, is well known on both sides of the
Atlantic as one of the authors of our revised
Code. Matthew Dickenson Field is a leading
citizen of his native State, and was recently a
State Senator. Jonathan Edwards Field is a
lawyer in Stockbridge, and also State Sena-
tor Stephen Johnson Field is one of the Judg-
es of the Supreme Court of California. Henry
Martyr Field, the youngest brother, is an emf
nent clergyman, and Editor of the Neo York

onset nothing mortal could resist The fright

came back, took reverently up the body of their
beloved townsman, and bore him home like a
sober funeral train. His father met him at the
door, and only put the simple question when
they told him the pride of his old age was no
more. "Was he shot in the back ?" Then with
his own hands he took towel and water, washed
the silent face-proud as overland prepared
the corpse for the grave. The others who died
were Henry Walbridge and John Clark. The
particulars of their death were doubtless re-
membered in the families of their descendants

REMARKABLE DIsTRICr.-Now that the
republicans of the 1th district of Ohio nave
nominated Thomas Corwin for Congress- the
Cincinnati Gazette takes the county tWarren)
in which Mr. Corwin resides, and follows it in
its varied Congressional representation since the
organization of the state in 1903. jeremiah
Morrow, resident of Warren, was the first
representative, from 1903 to 1918, during all
which time he was the only member of the
House from Ohio. He then served in the SEN
ate until 1872 was afterwards governor from
1923 to 1927, then canal commissioner and
again from 1871 to '43 represented the Warren
district in the House. His successor from 1913
TO 1916 was John Mclean, an editor and law
yer at Lebanon, Warren county, who has since
1879 graced the supreme court of the United
States. McLean's successor to 1919 was Viii
liam Henry Harrison, in succession general SEN
ator, ambassador and president. From 1919
to 1920 the district was represented by Thomas
X. Ross, then until 1929 by John Woods, and
afterwards for one term by James Shields, of
neither of whom is anything special to be said.
Thomas Corwin, the present candidate, succeed
ed Shields from 1881 to 1910, and since the lat
ter year has been governor, senator and secre-
tary of the treasury Old Gov. Morrow then
served the single term above mentioned, and in
lS43 the district sent to Washington Robert C.
Schenck, who continued a representative until
1871 and was afterwards minister to Brazil
His successor for one term was David Fisher,
and in 1919 Lewis ID. Campbell was elected, the
district then embracing the county of Butler,
where he lives. In 1862 the district was re-or-
ganized and Campbell thrown into another dis
trict, which he has continued to represent until
the present summer. The new district of which
Warren county was part elected Aaron Har-
Ian, the present republican representative
What other county in the country can show
such record of Congressional representation.
