A New CAPITA LIST. He didn't look as
If his pockets held fifty cents, but a rich
man has right to dress as he chooses. He
loafed up Griswold street until he saw the
right sort of face, and then he asked,
"Can you show me bank ?"
"Yes, sir; three doors below, or just
across the street, or right back there"
"Thanks. I'd like 10 put some money in
some bank, but I'm little afraid of banks.
1 always did prefer mole of hand to
bank"
The citizen pricked up his ears and ask
ed: "You have some money TO lend, have
your"
"a trifle," was the answer. "Do you
know of anybody who would like TO take
some and give me note for year at sew
en- per cent? 1 think OF going TO Mexico
for a while"
Lets see," unused the citizen, II don't
know but I'd take some myself"
"Lemme git drink and then we'll talk"
said the stranger.
Eyes, certainly; come ou," replied the
citizen, and the two went into a basement.
Drinks were ordered by the citizen, one
ailer another, until his shinplaslers felt
lonely. He said he could make good use
OF few thousand dollars for year, and
some OF his friends might also take few
thousand more. The stranger put down
gin, whiskey, lager and brandy until his
legs gave out. The citizen laid him on
bench and tried TO sober him, but the fell
low went dead asleep while they were try
ing to force vinegar down his throat. The
bar-keeper said he was an old losfer, and a
policeman was sent for to take him 10 the
station. When they got him down there
and searched him, they found four cents,
brass-backed comb and a door-key in his
pockets, and the citizen who wanted to
borrow few thousand dollars went TO see
ifthe mail had come Detroit Free Press.

Two important discoveries: The discov-
cry of America by Columbus, and DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery the
one opening up to mankind new CONT
nent, the other fountain of health, which
is indispensable TO the full enjoyment of
life and its blessings. In response to the
above sentiment come the unsolicited at
testations of tens of thousands of grateful
patients, who have been relieved of chronic
ailments through its instrumentality. Those
voices are limited 10 no one locality, but
from every city, village and hamlet In our
broad domain, as well as from other climes
and in the strange utterances of foreign
tongues, like the confused murmur of
many waters, come unieigned and hearty
concentrations. 1t is, in combination
with the Pleasant PurGative Pellets, the
great depurator of the age. Under its be-
nign action eruptions disappear, excessive
waste is checked, the nerves are strength
ened, and health, long banished from the
system, resumes her reign and re-estab-
fishes her roseate throne upon tho cheek.
All who have thoroughly tested its virtues
in the diseases for which it is recommend
ed, unite in pronouncing it the great Med
ical Discovery of the age.

GEN. SHERMAN has been interviewed
and, as usual, talked good deal and inter-
estingly. He touched on the recent attack
of Gen. Beauregard on him for inhumani-
ty in compelling confederate prisoners to
go ahead of his wagon trains and dig up
rebel torpedoes from the road, when he was
marching through Georgia, and said that
he thought it would have been much more
inhuman TO have left his wagon trains 10 he
blown up. The general said that the criti-
cisms on his memoirs often merely amused
him, but that in many cases he was really
indebted to them for new suggestions and
corrections, all of which he carefully noted
for future use. He spoke severely, how
ever, of Boynton's attack on him and said
he believed that Belknap, who hated him,
had helped Boynton to get ii up. Sherman
expressed friendly feelings toward all the
Southern generals, and believed that the
North generally was well disposed toward
the leading confederates; always excepting
Davis, who was hated at the North as But
Ter was at the South, a feeling which he
himself shared. Give him an army COM
posed of Northern and Southern soldiers,
who in fighting qualities complemonted
ach other, and "the devil couldn't whip
th en-" in his opinion. lie wouldn't take
t he presidency If it were unanimously ten
dered him. If nominated he would de.
cline. He didn't believe in soldiers for
Presidents, anyway. Blaine, he thought,
would make "a splendid President" and
was going to be hard to beat for the nomin-
alton. Healso spoke very highly of Hayes.
Morton was "a remarkable man fitted
for any position" ~ love Morton for his
war record" said the general enthusiastic
ally. "He was the best war governor we
had" lie said that it was not the Presi-
dent who asked him to put Fred Grant on
his staff. The President had too much
SO nse for that. II was Mrs. Grant, and he
declined because the youth lacked age aud

BEAN PoRRIDaE.-Soak one quart of good
yellow corn in warm water twenty-four
hours. Then put on the pot or some other
iron vessel containing about one pail of
water. Remove the corn from the water
in which it has been soaking, and put it in
the pot add one quart of colored beans
and let them parboil we'll, but not enough
to break up the beans. Turn the beans
and corn out on a colander, and pour two
or three quarts of cold water on them re-
turn them to the pot, in which has been
placed about ten quarts Of water; add
nice marrow bone of beef (he more mar
row the Delteri) there should be from one
to two pounds of beef on the bone, and
boil slowly Till done. When done, the
beans will be completely broken up. Care
must be taken to prevent the broth from
burning, and water must be added as it
boils away. Just before il is done, beat up
two large spoonfuls of flour ia cold water
and add to the broth let II boil 10 or 20
minutes and 1t will be fit for use, and You
will not be very likely TO keep II In the pot
until 1t is nine days old.

The People want Proof.

There is no medicine prescribed by ply
sielans, or sold by druggists, that carries
such evidence of its success and superior
virtue as BOsCHEE's GERMAN SYRUP for
severe coughs, colds settled on the breast,
consumption, or any disease of the throat
and lungs. A proof of that fact is that any
person afflicted can get sample bottle for
10 cents aud try its superior effect before
buying the regular size at rs cents. 1t has
Germany, and its wonderful cures are as
tonishing every one that use it. Three
doses will relieve any ease. Sold by ii. @.

Extract of Letter from Rev. Richard
Edes, of Bolton, Mass


"For years was a sufferer from bolls, so
that my life became wearsome through
their frequent and persistent recurrence.
A carbuncle, which ultimately occupied
space of three or four square inches, formed
in the small of my back. During its pro-
gress large pieces of decomposed flesh were
every day or two eut away and the pros
tratiOn aud general disturbance of the sys-
TEN were great. Before / had recovered
from this attack, two smaller carbuncles
broke out higher up, and / was again
threatened with a recurrence of the suffer-
ings TO which l had so long been subjected.
1t was at this time that / commenced TAX
ing the PERUVIAN SYRUP. 1 continued
taking 1t until had used five bottles
since then have had nothing of the kind.
l attribute this improved state of my sys-
tenn entirely to the PERUVIAN SYRUP and
feel that cannot express my obligations
TO 1t in terms too strong. For years was
one of the greatest sufferers. Other medi-
cines gave me partial and temporary relief;
but this remarkable remedy, with kind
of intuitive sense, went directly to the root
of the evil, and did its work with a thor
oughness worthy of its established charac-
