Renaissance of La Fayette's Visit to
This Country.

The Washington correspondence OF
the N. Y. World contains the following:
General La Fayette arrived in this
country in August, 1924, and was met
with ovations wherever he went. Con-
gress gave him a warm welcome, and
Mr.. Speaker Clay addressed him in his
accustomed felicitous style, awakening
unbounded enthusiasm. The Generals
response was equally appropriate and
happy.
Gen. La Fayette, after years So
journ, came to Washington in Septea-
Der, 1926, to pay his farewell respects
to President Adams. The scene at the
White House was impressive in the
highest degree. Mr.. Adams surpassed
himself, and brought gushing tears to
the eyes of the listeners. How touch
ing and truthful his allusion to "belle
France the home of the illustrious
visitor. The General was overwhelmed
with gratitude, yet played his part with
dignity and grace.
General Lafayette was escorted from
the Presidents house to the national
vessel in the Potomac, near the Arsenal,
by several volunteer companies-one of
which was commanded by the late Col.
w. W. Seaton, one of the editors of
the National Intelligencer-an embark
ed for France amidst the cheers of the
sympathizing multitude.
The Mayor of the city, Roger G
Weightman, who received General La
fayette on his arrival here and accom-
panied him wherever he went on sight
seeing expeditions, is still living, and
tells of his accompanying the party on
the Brandywine some distance down
the Potomac Another gentleman tells
of the Generals first reception in Alex
andria, and how he, as a small boy,
stood with a long line of his schoolmates,
attired in white trousers and blue
Jackets, on one side of the way, while q
line of little girls in white dresses and
blue sashes stood on the opposite side
and repeated alternate lines of poetry.
The little girls strewed flowers, and the
boys spoke of "the fair strewing flow
ers for the brave" An arch was placed
on the line of march, as was the case
in every city, and on the arch live
American eagle was placed to strike
attitudes as natural as was consistent
with the means taken to secure the
bird in it's position. When the dis
tinguished visitor passed beneath the
arch canon fired the salute and the
eagle took fright and yelled with terror.
But the writer's of that day were as
ready as those of our own time to give
TO untoward circumstances a fair ap
pearance, so the reporter of the period
told how, as the hero passed beneath
the arch, "the bird of freedom uttered
note of triumph"

Stealing an Infant.
From the n. Y. Commercial Advertiser.

From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
A very singular circumstance recently
happened to lady living in Harlem, in
One Hundred and Twenty-fourth ST.
The person we refer to, the wife of a
man employed in the custom house ser
vice, became the mother of an interest
ing child about two months ago. After
the birth of the child, she was so i'll
that she could not nourish it, and a
nurse was procured, who took care of
the child for some weeks. In the
meantime the husband and father
met with a serious accident, which so
disabled him that he was con-
fined to his house. During the illness
of both, the nurse was in attendance,
going to her omeoccasionally. One
day on her return she informed the
father and mother that neighbor of
hers in Twenty-ninth street had lost
her little baby, and was anxious to find
one to nurse, that she was a very nice
lady, and would take care of the dear
little creature The father and mother
consulted in regard to the matter sug-
gested, and being poor and unable to
pay the expense of the nurse, consent
ed to let the baby be placed in the care
of the lady mentioned. The nurse
gave the lady's name as Mrs. James
Bradshaw, living at No. TO West
Twenty ninth street.
Last week the father SO far recovered
as to be able to get out, and the wife
impressed upon him the duty of going
to see their ssdear little one," as they
had not seen the nurse in some time
He went, of course, but could not find
the number, and supposing he had
made mistake, concluded to examine
the paper left by the norse-he did sc
and found it to correspond with his re-
collection. He made another effort tc
find the person through the police, but
has not yet succeeded in finding any
trace of the lady or the nurse. The
poor afflicted mother is bordering OF
madness over the loss of her babe,
| What is more inhuman than robbing 6
mother of her child2 That woman
should do this is a degree of heartless
ness that we never supposed could be
possessed bya woman; but when we re
member that the worst fends in society
wear petticoats, and that Restello still
pursues her calling despite the police
we are not surprised.

Defensive HE afcation,

Investigation is necessary for the protection of
the human body against disease when unhealthy
influences abroad iron armor and granite
ments are for the protection of ships and fortresses
when assailed by shot and shell Hence it is desira-
BILE when those potent enemies of vitality damp and
oold pervade the air breathe, put the system in
the best possible condition to encounter them The
stomach is the organ by which every organ is nour-
ished and sustained and therefore upon its vigorous
and general action depends, in great measure the
capacity of the system to resist the assaults of the
invisible enemies of health and life by which, at this
incleuent season, it is surrounded. Hostetter's
Stomach Bttters an admirable tonic and regulating
medicine for all seasons, is never more needed than
winter, when the torpifying influence of chilly
atmosphere effects all the vital functions and rem
ders the body extremely susceptible By toning the
digestive organs, and the liver, and the bowels with
this unequaed vegetable specific, physical condi-
ton is attained which to be proof against al
varieties of temperature, and that is i1mica in the
air in winter Defensive medication is precaution
which should never be neglected when danger is
present. and therefore of the Bitters at this
season is particularly desirable, especially for the
feeble and sckly. AS remedy for biliousness dys-
pepsia, nervousness, and bowel complaints there is
nothing comparable to this wholesome restorative.

form Of Intermittent ferer. Travel through
any region where the malady prevails and all
who have tried the preparation will tell you so.
Thousands of families in the Ohio and Missis-
sippi valleys, and on the borders of the South
ern rivers and swamps, regard it as a specific
for the complaint. Nothing could induce them
to be without it: and they begin to take it reg
ularly at the commencement of the spring and
at the close Of summer, as & safeguard against
malaria. They show their wisdom thereby.
The shiverin8 plague passes their door without
intruding, to smite their neighbors who have
shown less forecast. Every year, however, the
number Of these improyident victims decreases.
There is no teacher like experience; and when
a shaking and burning sufferer sees his friend

exception to the complaint is due to PLANTA-

Profound simplicity of intellect,
And supreme patience. From her mothers knee
Faithful and hopeful; wise in charity:
Strong in grave peace; in pity circumspect.

baggage car, and threw off five trunks
near the Four Mile House, and after
rifing more baggage in the car, left the
train at the Relay House, and went
back to secure the trunks. Detectives

What the Advertising Agent Can Do.

From the Advertisers Guide published by Cook,
Coburn & Co., Advertising Agents, Chicago, lii.
He insert notices, varying in extent
from a single square to a page, in all of the
newspapers Of America that are worthy of be-
ing used as advertising mediums. He can
guarantee to the advertiser the very lowest
rates of each publisher, and can give special
inducements to those prepared to advertise
heavily, which they could never obtain them
selves. He can save the advertiser all of the
bother, time and expense of making separate
contracts with each newspaper. He can as
sist the advertiser in preparing his notices,
giving him the aid of men practised in the art
of getting up attractive advertisements, of a
nature that will make them powerful agencies
for the patrons desired ends, wherever they
may be published. He can assist the adver-
tser in the selection of the particular journals
that will be of the most benefit for his espe-
cial wants. He can give his patrons the adj
vantage of culling from thousands of papers,
files of which are kept constantly on hand for
just this purpose. He can and does see that
the advertisements are inserted according to
contract, daily examination of every paper
being instituted for that result alone. All of
this and ten times as much in addition, he can
do at a much less cost to the advertiser than
the latter could ever hope to treat with the
publishers for, simply because he makes it his
business to do precisely the things Indicated
