Rheumatism Ea Disease of the Blood.

The blood, in this disease. Is found to contain an excess of fbrtn. VEGETINE acts by converting the blood from its diseased condition to a healthy circulation. VEGETINE regulates the bowels, which is very important Tn this com plaint. One bottle of VEGETINE will give relief :; but, to enect @ permanent cure, 1t must be taken regularly, and may take several bottles, espe- c1ally in cases of long standing: vEGETlNE is sold by all druggists. Try it.. and your verdict will be the same as that of thousands before you, who say, "I never found SO much relief as from the use of VEGETINE," which is composed exclusively of barks, roots and herbs.
 "VEGETINE,'' says Boston physician, "has no equal as a blood purifier. Hearing of its many wonderful cures, after all other remedies had failed T visited the laboratory and convinced myself of its genuine merit It is prepared from barks, roots and herbs, each of which is highly effective, and they are compounded in such manner as to produce astonishing re- SultS."

SLANG IN THE DOMESTIC CIRCLE - "Say, pa," said an uptown boy one day, as he came home late from being kept in at school, threw down his books, pinched the cat till he made her howl, and then sided, into his seat at the dinner-table, 'wasn't Benedict Arnold reg'lar snide?'

 The "old man" didn't stop to reply. He came down on the youngster like an Alpine glacier, and in another minute that irreverent boy was dancing pas seul around the apartment, with his hands clasping the basement of his pantaloons in a vice-like grip, and his infantile throat emitting more yells to the minute than there are empty bottles in the rear of the Louisiana State HOuSe.-Puck.

HUMOROUS.

SCIENCE AT FAULT.-They had a nitro glycerine explosion the other day at one of the Hudson River towns-we shan't say which-but it was not a thousand miles from Sing Sing. A contractor who had buried half 8 dozen cans of it in his potato patch to keep them safe over the Winter, went out with pickaxe to exhume one; in few minutes after there was terrible eX- plosion, big hole in the ground, and no man.
 A crowd immediately gathered, and among them of course, came the doctor 1; but, alas! there was no need of his services. Not a fragment of the victim was to be found larger than hand, and before long half bushel of shreds and remnants of flesh were gathered up into a basket and brought into the house to await Christian burial. Just then a horrid thought was suggested by by stander:
 "His dog," said he, s'the faithful creature, always was with him. The dog must have been blown up, too. We can't bury the pieces of dog with his pieces, can we?"
 "Oh, that's easily settle," said the doctor, approaching the basket and taking up part of the contents; "here science steps in, you see; now this, for instance, recognize as part of the canine structure, section of the trachea. We will throw that to one side.'
 "But, doctor," interposed female by-stander, "are you sure, doctor?"
 Positive, madam. Science never errs. Now this (taking up another piece), this is the glenoid cavity of 8 human knee; this, the epiglottis of the dog; we throw it aside. This is sec tiOn of the unfortunate mans cerebelluns;; and here are parts of the tuberosities of the ichiuma. Here, again, is piece ot the dog, his oesophagus, l should say this"
 Just then there was a perceptible movement in the outer circle of by islanders, and the dog came running in, alive and well.-Illustrdted Weekly.

POLITICAL FAME.

The retired politicians can truly say,
in the language of Rip Van Winkle,
"How soon we are forgotten" Yes, and
in less than the third of a century after
the grave encloses them there are but
few persons on earth who are apprised
of the fact that they ever lived. These
reflections were fastened on our minds
by reading in the Congressional Diction>
ary brief sketch of the life and public
services of General Sam Smith, Of Mary
land. He was wealthy merchant Of
Baltimore, once or twice its mayor, and
contributed much to its growth and pros
perity-more, perhaps, than any other
citizen. The good people ofMaryland
exhibited their appreciation of his talents
and personal worth by sending him to
Congress for longer period oftime than
the average life of man. He served
them as representative or Senator in Con.
gress for thirty nine years, He was made
chairman Of the finance committee of
the Senate, and discharged the duties of
the position with marked ability. He
was warm supporter of Jackson's ad.
ministration, and on more than one oc.
casion was elected Vice President pro
tenn He had a right to think, and doubt
less did think, he had achieved fame
that would live after him. He died about
thirty seven years ago, and now let us
ask. How many of the present genera
ton ever heard Of himi We venture to
assert that could he now arise from the
grave he would find three fourths of the
citizens of Baltimore entirely ignorant of
his long and useful career as Baltimore's
public servant. Such is life, and such is
the ephemeral character of political
fame.
We cannot close this article without
telling one of Daniel Webster's anec-
dotes. 1t is decidedly to the point. Af-
ter President Tyler's second veto of a
bill to charter bank of the United
States, every member Of his cabinet save
Mr.. Webster Indignantly resigned. The
Wings tried their level best to loosen his
grip on the State Department, but all
their efforts were unavailing. Thenthey
came down upon him like thousand of
brick. They denounced him with the
variations. About this time an enthusi-
astic admirer called to see him. Finding
him in a gloomy mood, he exclaimed !:
"Mr. Webster you ought MOTTO be gloomy
about anything; your fame is made"
"Fame." " replied Webster, "and what is
fame 2" Whereupon he told the follow
story: slYd a it5
He said he was travelling in railroad

ed that he was seated by the side Of a
very old gentleman was citizen Of New
Hampshire, and lived in Mr.. Webster's
native town. He asked the old man if
he knew the Webster family up there.
"Oh yes" replied the octogenarian.

friends in his lifetime,' "Well, what

HONEY GIVEN TO HAYES.
The Conditions Under which he accepted
$l5O,0OO from Gould & Huntington.
From the N. Y. Sun, June 2sth.l

WASHINGTON, June 27. 1t is a we'll
known fact here that drafts and certif>
Gates of deposit were sent to Ohio and
made payable to the order Of R. B. Hayes
and that the money was drawn on his
endorsement and used in the campaign
in that State. 1t is also we'll known that
when Hayes visited the Centennial ExN
hibition he was met there by Eugene
Hale and Geo. M. Robson, who made in
substance the following communication
to him:
They said that they were authorized to
say that Gould and c. P. Huntington
would each contribute $4,000 to the Re.
publican national campaign fund, and
that all they would ask in return was.
that in the event of his election he would
treat their interest fairly. Hayes agreed
to the conditions and authorized Hale
and Robson to say that the money would
be acceptable.
Now, is it worse to suffer ofhceholders
to be assessed for political purposes than
it is for candidate for President to ac>
cept large sums Of money for political
purposes from two unscruplous railroad
managers, who have vast interests pend
ing, on which the President is constant
ly required to pass? And had his con.
tribution of $4,000 by Jay Gould and
c. P. Huntington any influence in con
trolling the appointment Of the Govern
ment directors of the Pacific railroads?
1t is well.known fact that one of the
reforms which Schurz boasted he would
make ifhe became Secretary of the In
terror, was in naming the Pacific Railroad
directors. He declined for some time
to recommssion the old directors, but
finally he directed heir commissions to be
made out. Will that eminent reformer
step to the footlights and answer? Did
Hayes suggest the reappointment of the
old directors of the Pacific railroads?

PRESIDENT HAYES was certainly short
sighted in issuing his recent order against
assessments on government officials for
political campaign purposes. He might
have known his order would induce ref
erence to and talk about last falls oper-
atoms. Prominent gentlemen in the
Republican party, members of their
committee, express surprise at the re-
markable change in Mr.. Hayes's views.
Mr.. Zach Chandler, then Secretary of the
Interior, sent a check for $4,000 cam
paign purposes to the order of Gov. Hayes
last fall, but the history of the check is
now for the first time made public by the
Washington correspondent of the Balti-
more Sun. At the meeting of the cam.
paign committee short time before the
Ohio October election eX Gov. Noyes,
now Minister to France, produced let
ter from Gov. Hayes in which it was said
that Ohio was almost lost; that in order
to save it to the Republicans money must
be forthcoming, and at once, and $4,000
was mentioned as the sum which it would
be desirable to have. The committee
thereupon determined'that Gov, Hayes's
appeal must be responded to, and Zach
Chandler, VIM. H. Kemble, of Pennsyl'
vania, and one or two others, made up
the amount at once. The check was
sent to the order Of Gov. Hayes, and by
him at once Endorsed and turned over to
the Republican State Committee Of Ohio.
Several members Of the Republican Ma.
tional Committee who have expressed
themselves on the subject say that had
it not been for this $4,000 which Gov.
Hayes begged for, and which ultimately
came out of assessments on the office
holders Ohio would have gone Demo
cratic and he would not be President.
Is it any wonder that the Chambers,
Kembles, Mackeys, and other profess
sionals, who "antedup" on Mr.. Hayes
requisition, are dazed?

JOHN w. HEIsLEY, Esq., of this city, is
being vigorously urged for nomination
as the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor. If the Democrats really mean
all that they say about reform and the
good of the service, they can not do bet
ter than accept Mr.. Heisley, who is an
upright citizen, good lawyer, and in
every way superior to the average of
Democratic candidates. AS it is of gen.
eral interest to voters of both parties that
the standard of candidacy should be ad-
vanced and kept as high as possible, we
should be- glad to see the Democracy
take the field with as good man as Mr..
Heisley.-CleUeland Leader, 9th ah.

Independence Day has Gomez

FROM the shooting Of guns and FIRE
crackers, ringing Of bells, &C., yesterday
and the night before, most any aged
citizen of America might realize that the
4th of July was here. These American
youth must have out their noise whether
people sleep or not. Well, it is an oc-
casion; and we hope each American, old
and young, found time to read again the
glorious document that was adopted IoI
years ago yesterday in Philadelphia. Its
title was Declaration of American In
dependence" and it proclaims that
"These Colonies are, and Of right ought
TO be, FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES. :
The committee appointed by the Con-
gress to draft the Declaration were
Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benja-
min Franklin, Roger Sherman, and
Robert r. Livingstone. Mr.. Jefferson
was the author of the document, and a
masterpiece of power and eloquence it
is. 1t thrilled the country in the times
that tried mems souls, and greatly aid
ed in crystallizing the cause of liberty.
In fact, it fired the American heart.
Shortly before his death, July 4th, 1926,
in reply to charges that the Declaration
contained nothing but commonplace
Views, Mr., Jefferson wrote; Whether |
had gathered my ideas from reading or
reflection, l do not know. know only
that turned to neither book nor pamph-
let while writing it. did not consider
it any part of my charge to invent new
ideas altogether, and to offer no senh-
ments which had ever been expressed
before"
