Cured BY Blue Glass.

The Detroit Free Press says that SO
far as can be ascertained only one De-
trolt family has yet taken advantage Of
the wonderful curative properties of
Gen. Pleasonton's blue-gass discovery.
The dea took with them from the starr,
and three or four weeks ago the blue
glass commenced hammeriDg at their
ailment. The lady Of the house, who
has Tor years been such an invalid that
she could not make over five calls In
the afternoon, was In two weeks so re-
stored to health that she was able to
leave home in the morning and remain
away all day, leavin, her children to
get their meals among the neighbors,
and her husband TO lunch down town.
Before she began taking sunbaths she
was melancholy and Respondent, and
didn't care for fine things. In one
week from the time the first blue lights
were IN she planned trip tc Florida,
she run her husband in debt for set
of cameo jewelry set in pearls, and had
hard crying spell because she couldn't
have new velvet dress. She was
formerly SO weak and languid that she
could not shake down the coal stove.
Tuesday morning she not only shook
down the stove, but all the stove pipe,
and when her husband jumped out
doors to call the neighbors he looked
as if she had shaken him around, too
Her appetite has wonderfully improved
under the strange cure. and now she
can eat most anything which her hus
band will come home and cook For
three long years she was always COM
planning of headache. That complaint
has now entirely vanished, and she
continually scolds about the corns on
her toes, thus giving her husband
grateful change. One Of the pleasant
sights on that street these sunny days
is to see this lady behind the blue
panes, seated in rocker, her nose close
down TO the pages Of a novel, hair
down, eyes half closed. and the blue
glass throwing beautiful shade over
her old wrapper and broken backed
slippers.

Our New President.
nj A RICH 7. 1877.

President Hayes entered upon the
discharge of his duties as Chief execu-
tive of the Nation last Monday under
the most favorable auspices. The in
auguratlon ceremonies were unusually
demonstrative, owing, no doubt, to the
uncertainty which attended the late
Presidential contest. President Hayes
inaugural address is a model in Its
way. Like his letter of acceptance it
has the true ring, and gives forth no
uncertain sound. 1t lis essentially a
state paper and denotes that his ad-
ministration will be characterized by
a broad and liberal policy-a policy
which we hope will forever do away
with sectio nalsm, and distinctions be-
tween the North and South Enough is
now known to say that the new Presi
dent will select his Cabinet Ministers
from among the most eminent states
men in this country-men who are es
pecially fitted for the respective po-
sitions-and no President ever entered
upon his official career with more
promising prospects. Under the cir
cumstaDces. therefore. it is safe to pre-
Diet that President Hayes will give to
the country an able, pure and econom-
ical administration, which will meet
with the approval and support of the
patriotic and intelligent citizens of the
land.

Recently there occurred strange
phenomenon in Walton county, G cor

a genulne shower of stones, varying
In size from as large as a hens egg to
that of a mans two fists. The stones
are of irregular shape. of a dark gray
lsh, color in'erspersed with bright,
shiny subs ance resembling ,snglas~.
The shower was very brief. and ex-
tended over not more than four acres
of ground, and followed an explosive
sound not unlike cannonading. A
panicky feeling pervaded the vicinity
visited by the shower. Happily, every
one except a negro woman was in doors

Dictator, George w. Bird.

George W. Bird, Of the Jefferson
Banner, don't you think just at the
present time that you are consum-
mate. ass, and proved yourself to be
an impatient and impudent political
meddler? Counting without your
hosts, and before waiting to hear
the verdict from the people, you
tapped your wings and crowed Tilden
into the White House. Then, true to
the only motive rover you feel in pol
it cs. namely. the division of the spoils,
You self constituted yourself supreme
dictator of the official pap of jefferson
co infy and proceeded to remove al the
Republican Office holders, replacing
them in your own mind by gentlemen
of the Democratic persuasion. You
walked Ganong out of the Fort Akin
son Post efice You summarily, and
in very unneighborly manner, took
Forsyth's Jefferson Postofice away
from him, thinking, no doubt, that it
wouldn't be a bad thing for you to take
for your humble self. Still brandish-
ing the scalping knife you came up to
Watertown and made sad havoc among
the Federal officials. Moak's head
was the first to fall into your blood
reeking basket. You would. no longer
stand the affront of having Mr.. Norris
gauge the whisky, and he had to walk
tie plank Finally, when you disposed
of Deputy Collector Cheney and filled
his place with Tildenite, you breathed
freer, your thirst for ''goah" had been
fallr satiated, and you felt as happy as
boy with new top. Now, really,
Mr. Bird, what do you think of the
situation to-day? Hayes and Wheeler
inaugurated President and Vice Presi
dent of the United States; your own
beloved Tllden dead and buried in
Gramercy Park, and, worse than all,
this, the official patronage of the Gov
ernment in the hands Of the Republi-
cans for the next four years? Don't
you feel somewhat nauseated around
the stomach, Mr.. Bird? Are not
these things harder to digest than billed
owl? Don't you think that you have
at least been blind and false prophet?
Whether the above officials stay in Of
fee or not, one thing is certain, you
will have nothing to do with appoint
ing their successors, and they are sure
not to be succeeded by any one con-
nected with the old spawned and
played-out ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS party
of which you are fitting 6gurehead
and mouthpiece. If you can here and
there through the county control the
appointment of a path master it is
about as far as your influence will ex-
tend for the next four years to come
You must feel thankful for the day of
small things, seeing that the large
things you thought you had in your
grasp have disappeared from your view
and have gone hence to be no more
seen by you.
