PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

-Winslow seems to have recovered
from his great anxiety to come home.
Don Carlos loves to squander money
at gambling. He recently left 500, 900 in
New Orleans and Mexico in that way, it
is said.
The Rochester Democrut in consider
ing the paucity of blood relations, re-
marks, Commodore Vanderbilt, our sec
ond cousin, was better yesterday
Prof. Sidney Colvin thinks that the
superiority of English writing in news
papers and magazines exists at the cost Of
intcriority in serious literature, and es-
pecially in the literature of learning.
Mr.. Emerson, it is said, seldom looks
at newspaper. The reporters complain
that he is discourteous to them. Yet it is
probably true that MIR. Emerson owes
more to reporters than to any other class
in society.
-Moncure Conway says Judah P. Ben
jamin, @. c., ex- Confederate Minister and
ex-Cnited States Senator, must be regard
ed as the most distinguished advocate at
the British Bar, but he is losing caste on
account of 'sharp' practice.
Harriet Martineau refused a pension
from the crown upon the ground that her
acceptance of money raised by system
of taxation that she had in her books of
political economy steadfastly opposed
would be inconsistent and wrong. That
is the sort of principle she was principally
made of.
Maj. Richard Houston, who for fifty
four years was an inmate of the Pennsyl-
vania Hospital for the Insane, died in the
institution few days since. He did
some service in the early part of the war
of 1912, and would probably have been
distinguished on the pages Of history but
for his mental affection.
The story that Mr.. Moody received
81, 500 for his labors in Augusta, Ga, is
pronounced untrue by the CArunicle and
Sentinel of that city. II says: Mr..
Moody preached the Gospel here without
money and without price. He was an un-
paid laborcr in the vineyard of the Lord.
He did great good in the city, and has
been rewarded with SANDER"
"A correspondent asks whether the
dead cavalry officers name was Gustav or
Custer, and what was his rank in the reg
ular army. The Official Army Register
gives it George A. Custer, Lieutenant
OOIoHel ScVeHtH neSlnlenC cavalry, anu
Brevet Major General. If the contem-
plated junction Of forces had been accom-
plished, both Gibbon and Terry would
have ranked Custer.-CAicago Ecening
Journal.
Some one lately asked Mr.. William
Cullen Bryant where his "Thanatopsis'
was written, as it was tradition that he
wrote it when student in Williams Col
lege. Mr.. Bryant answered that, entering
Williams in the sophomore class in 1911 :,
he left it in May, 1912, intending to go to
Yale, but, as his fathers means did not
permit of that, he returned to his home in
Cummington, his native place, and there,
one afternoon, after wandering through
the woods Of that region, he rested be
meath a group of majestic forest trees, and
wrote the poem Of ''Thanatopsis''-be
then in his eighteenth year. yqGL -,

. The above marriage was the result of
love at first sight. The boy came to this
city with some of his farm products on
Saturday evening, and while enjoying a
cup at the s'social board'' met relative of
the girl. The innocent country boy said
he had lived since he was born without a
better half, and had at last resolved to
pro cure one, regardless of cost. His CON-
panion, who was an cx-city officer, said
he could procure the necessary betterhalf,
and the two men repaired to the residence
of the girl above mentioned The ,ex-city
officer gave, an introduction to the parties,
whereupon the country boy asked the city
girl out in the yard, and the following
conversation cnsued: "a f -: zs4a,,I !,

"A correspondent of the american Farm

tomato catsup she ever tried, and advises
everybody to try it: One half bushel to-
matoes; one quart good vinegar; one

when the next four come forth, it is four
weeks old. When the corner teeth ap-
pear, the colt is eight months old; when
the latter have attained to the height of the
front teeth, it is one year old. The two
year old colt has the kernel (the substance
in the middle of the tooth's crown) ground
out in all the front teeth. In the third
year the middle front teeth are being
shifted. and when three years old these arc
substituted by the horse teeth. The next
four teeth are shifted in the fourth year,
and the corner teeth in the fifth. At six
years, the kernel is worn out of the lower
middle front teeth, and the bride teeth
have now attained to their full growth.
At seven years, a hook has been formed in
the corner teeth Of the upper Jaw, the
kernel of the teeth next at the middle is
worn out, and the bride teeth begin to

a magnificent collection at the Centennial,
far exceeding anything ever seen in this
country. Roses, birds, vases, lilies,
grapes and many otlier similar objects are
inlaid i'll panels and upon table-tops IN the
most exquisite and natural manner:
When the original copy of the Dec
laration of Independence was brought out
and read at Philadelphia, on the Fourth,
no one displayed greater enthusiasm than
Dom Pedro, who swung out copy from
his hat crown and shouted as vigorously
as Sheridan and Sherman, who stood at
his side.
"A machine is shown for making
fences of all kinds Of lumber. There Is Il
saw for Cutting the material the PROPER
length, a gang Of augers for boring holes
in the posts, a cutter to reduce the ends
OF the boards to proper size, and a tcnon-
ing device to shape the ends to exactly
fit in the posts-all combined in a won
derful and yet perfectly simple manner.
The many accidents and cases of sud
den sickness on the Centennial grounds
have made it necessary to establish a
special hospital within the Exhibition
fence. Into this hospital many patients
have been taken every day, but the Commits
sioners have made every effort to conceal
the number of the names of the victims
from the public, saying that if they were
published they would Keep MANY other
persons from attending the show. They
have even threatened the summary dis
missal of any attache of the hospital who
may give information concerning the
cases to the press; but it is not until late
ly that it has become known how fast the
Centennial is killing off the people. On
| the Sd of July there were eighty admis-
sions to the Centennial hospital, and on
the 4th more than 100, and on yesterday
| to-day thirty six. Some of these were
men who fell off the buildings, others
wcre/mashed on the Centennial railroad,
and many were sun-struck. Since the 81
lent policy of the Commissioners has be:
come known, and the terrible extent of
the MASKING business has been learned,
there has been great dissatisfaction, many
strangers fearing that should they be in
jured on the Exhibition grounds they might
roast for days in the hospital before their
friends could learn their whereabouts ~

CUSTER.

What! shall that sudden blade
Leap ont OsmoresE
No more thy hand he laid
Upon the sword -hilt shifting sore?
o for another such
The chargers reign to clutch
One equal voice to summon victory,
Sounding the battle-cry.
Brave darling of the soldiers choicel-
Would the, were one more voice!
o gallant charge. Zoo bold!
Oh. fierce imperiOus greed
To pierce the clouds that in their darkness hold
Slaughter of man and steed!
Now. stark and cold.
Among thy fallen braves thou lest,
And even with thy blood defest
The woltiSh Toe.
But ali. thou liest low,
And all our birthday song is hushed indeed!
Young lion of the plain,
Thou of the tawny name!
1iotly the soldiers hearts shall beat,
Their mouths thy death repeat.
Their vengeance seek the trsil again
Who're thy red doomsmen be,
But on the charge no moe shall stream
Thy hair-no more thy saher gleam-
No more ring out thy battle-shout.
Thy cry of victory!
Not when hero falls
The sound a world appals;
For while we plant his cross
There is a glory, even in the loss;
But when some craven heart
From honor dares to part.
Then. then. the groan, the blanching cheek,
And men in whispers speak,
No kith nor country dare reclaim
From the black depths his name.
Thou, wild young warrior rest,
BY all the prairie winds caressed!
Swift was thy dying pang;
Even as the war-cry rang
Thy deathless spirit mounted high
And sought Columbia's sky
There. to the northward far,
Shines new star,
And from it blazes down
The light of thy renown!

Schenckss Sea Weed Tonic.

In the atmosphere experienced here during the
summer months the lethargy produced by the heat
takes away the desire for wholesome food, and fire.
quent Preparations reduce bodily energy particu-
larly those suffering from the effects of facilitating
diseases In order to keep natural healthful aciv-
ity of the system we must resort to artificial
means. For this purpose sehenck's Sea Weed
Tonic is very effectual. A few doses will create
an appetite and give fresh vigor to the enervated
body. For dyspepsia it is invaluable. Many emf
nent physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia
can be permanently cured by the drugs which are
generally employed for that purpose. The Sea
Weed Tonic in its nature, is totally different from
such drugs It contains no corrosive minerals or
acids; In fact 1t assists the regular operations Of
nature and Supplies her deficiencies. The Tonic in
Its nature SO much resembles the gastric juice that
it is almost identical with that fluid. The gastric
juice is the natural solvent which, in healthy
condition Of the body, causes ths food to be d.
gested; and when this juice is not excreted in suf
cient quantities, Indigestion with all its distress
ing symptoms, follows. The Sea Weed Tonic per.
forms the duty Of the gastric juice when the latter
is deficient. Scbenck's Sea Weed Tonic sold by
all Druggists.
