STIRRING SONGS.

Mr.. H. M. Rogers, Of Clyde, was one Of
the original Continenal vocalists, and
has voice of uncommon power, and a
style of expressive singing which has
earned for him the title of the Sankey of
the Democratic party. He did effective
service in the Indiana and Illinois cam
paign. He stepped to the parlor organ
at the front Of the platform and sang the
following song: .o....,. ...
A hundred years have rolled away
Since that high heroic day
When our fathers in the tray
Struck the conquerlng blow.
Praise to them, the bold who spoke,
Praise to them. the brave who broke
Stern oppIession's CALLING yoke,
A hundred years ago.
Pour the wine of sacrifice;
Let the grateful author rise,
Shall we e'er resign the prizei
Neveri Never No.
Hearts and hands shall guard those rights,
Bought on Freedoms battle heights,
When he hxed his signal lights
hundred years ago.
Swear It by the mighty dead, ...
Ihose VINO conquered those VINO led'
By the Dlood your iatners shed,
Z by your mothers Woe

THOSE whose breasts were Scared for you
When 10 freedoms ranks lney new

while the referees were alarmed. The
men had eaten nothing since they start
ed in the day before, but both were tough
coasters-Scatterer an "iron wedge,"
Pete q " raw hide" The voice had
now died to a faint whisper, and with
sad misgivings the friends of both
turned toward their homes, leaving the
old veterans to fight it out alone till day
light. r
At 5 o'clock in the morning the
referees approached the door. Not a
sound from within. They knocked,
but no answer. A vigorous push sent
the door off its hinges, and a sight pre-
sented itself that would soften the
hardest heart in the mountains. There
they sat face to face, their right hands
clasped, a smile softened the wrinkles
on the storm-tossed brows. They had
killed their last loon-swung their last
pick; they had passed away into thai
land where stampedes are unknown
they were dead.

Matrimony and Prima- Donnas.

Nine. Adelina Patti, Marchioness of
Caux, has had in her married life some
such experiences as have befallen other
great singers who accepted as husbands
titled or wealthy spendthrifts. She is
about to apply for q judicial separation
from her husband, and it is understood
that the reason is that he spends, in
gambling and other extravagances or
vices, the money she earns by her tai
ents. The first husband of Mile. Gar
cha, Malibran, was u rich New York
merchant, who, failing in business, be-
gan to spend her money and she left
him, marrying, after his death, De
Beriot, the violinist. When Mile. Son.
tag, who was as great a celebrity as
Patti has become, married the Count
Rossi, she retired from the stage. But
the Count gambled away her fortune,
and she was compelled 10 resume her
profession to support herself, her chill
dren, and even her husband. Mile. AL
boni, the best of all contraltos, was
married to the Italian Marquis of Pc
poll, and he wasted her fortune so fast
that she got d judicial separation, and
as he has since died, she married lately
a French gentleman. Other cases of
prima-donnas welded to wasteful for
ture-hunters could. be cited, but these
of Malibran, Sontag, Alboni, and Patti
are the most distinguished, and Patti
need not be ashamed of being in the
company in which she finds herself

The Dayton Soldiers Home had an
inmate with a wonderful history in VIII
liam A. j. Mcclure, now in his one
hundred and seventh year. He was
born in New Jersey, and from his ff-
teenth to thirtieth year was in the mer-
chant service, visiting nearly every port
in the world. In 1904, he turned trap
per on the Ohio River, and finally en-
listed in the army, being captured at
Hull's surrender and taken to Dartmoor
prison, but was freed in time to fight
at Lundy's Lane, under General Scott,
and get seven wounds. When AZ he
saved a woman from drowning al
Charleston, S. c., and married her, but
she died at New Orleans, three years
after, when he served as scout for Gen
eral Jackson in Florida. Then he went
to sea again, was wrecked in the Med
iterranean and, with seven others, was
captured and enslaved by the Arabs, but
was bought and freed by the American
consul. Byron died, about this time,
and the rowing TO be centenarian entered
the Greek service, after a little into the
marine under Admiral Rogers, then
served in the Seminole war, then in he
Mexican var under Rogers, going to
sea again was wrecked in the Albion on
the Irish coast, and wa one of the nine
saved from that Inflated crew. He
naturally tired of the sea, went West,
and was, for many years, m%ail-carrier
between Cincinnati and Lexington, KY,
narrowly escaping death from cholera.
For the past 20 years he has lived in
Missouri, where he married three more
wives, having % children, only three Of
whom survive. His last wife, who was
60 years his junior, died in 1871, aged
40. The old gentleman is still active.
and talks of going back to Missouri. in

SPY Their Works We Shall Know
Them.ss

The Irishman who thought the druggist
stingy because the emetic was so small, is
only surpassed in his parsimonious drollery
by those who persistently adhere 10 the use
of those nauseating, disgustingly large and
drastic pills, while DR.. Peree's Pleasant
PurgatiUe Pellets, which are sugar-coated,
and little larger than mustard seeds, will,
by their steady and gentle action on the
liver, correct all torpidity, thus permanently
overcoming constipation. In South Ameri-
ca they have almost entirely superseded all
other pills, and are relied on fully by the
people, and often used as a preventive of the
various affections of the stomach, liver and
bowels, so prevalent in that climate.

How GuilIotining Feels.

It has been reserved for M. Mondate,
an Italian gentleman, to let the world
know, through La Defense, what it feels
like to be gnillotined. He was in 1873
condemned to death for a crime of which
he was innocent, and it was not the fault
of Italian Justice that he escaped. The
blade of the %guillotine fell, but the wood
in the groves of which it ran had swol-
len slightly, and the knife stopped
barely two centimetres from his neck.
While they were repairing this defect a
reprieve arrived, the true murderer
had been found and had confessed his
crime. "It was at 8 a. ia, Aug. II,
1885," says M. Mondate, that my
confessor, liable Fernia, entered my
cell to announce to me that l must die.
When at the touch of his hand upon
his shoulder l awakened, | compre-
hended at once the nature OF his errand,
and despite my own confidence it seems
that / turned horribly pale. l would
have spoken, but my mouth contracted
and no saliva moistend it. A mortal
chill suddenly invaded the lower part
of my body. By a supreme effort I
succeeded in gasping, 1t is not truc!'

a sudden thrill of pride shot through
me. For some minutes | felt no fear;

A dark house is always an un-

will aid greatly in killing the unpleasant
odor arising therefrom. Remember
this for boiling cabbage, green beans,
onions, chickens, mutton, etc.
Burned onions are a favorite with
all cooks in Europe. The onion is put
in an oven until it becomes fiat and

Measles, scarlet fever, and all the

appearance on the roof of the mouth,

of these diseases are present the throa'
should be carefully examined and such
remedies given as will most speedily
throw out the rash upon the surface.

Renovation, mot Prostration.

Did any enfeebled human being ever be-
come strong under the operation of power
full cathartics or salivants! 1t is sometimes
necessary to regulate the bowels, but that
cannot be done by active purgation, which
exhausts the vital forces and serves no
good purpose whatever. The only true way
to promote health and vigor, which are es-
tions, is to invigorate, discipline and purify
the system at the same time. The extraor-
binary efficacy of Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers in cases of debility or irregularity of
the organs of digestion, assimilation, secre-
ton and discharge, is universally admitted.
Appetite, good digestion, a regular habit of
body, active circulation of the blood, and
purity Of all the animal fluids are induced
by this superb. tonic and corrective. 1t has
no equals, moreover, as a preventive Of
chills and fever, and other types of malarial
disease. To emigrants and travellers it is
particularly serviceable as a medicinal safe
guard.

The Feat or q Crazy Gymnast.

"Senor Mirande," gymnast, eclipsed
all his previous flights while d~elirious
from fever at New York, the other
evening. He had been so violent that
he was tied to his bed, but he broke the
cords, and with a shrek turned a SOM
ersault through the third-story window
and hung to the easement by his hands,
his body swinging to and fro 40 feet
above the sidewalk, while he shouted
to his friends: SEQ away! I'll climb
to the moon!" Then he swayed his
body with increasing rapidity and let
90, but he grasped the metal leader of
the house, went up it hand over hand
with the agility OF q monkey, and sud-
denly plunged forward, landing upon
the top of a shutter On the top floor.
Then he swung on the fragile blind,
which, it was feared, would be forced
from its hinges by his weight, and, sud-
denly leaping in the air, grasped the
gutter of the house. He ran along the
edge with seeming indifference at the
height at which he was performing,
and then started to descend headlong
the shutter OF. the adjoining house,
Away he went, leaping from shutter to
window-sill, until the top OF the stoop
was reached, when he slid down n Of
the posts TO the street, escaping in the
darkness. He was finally caught, but
died the next day.

OF peace amid the strife
Afolded leaf that the world Knows not
A. owe dream rudely crushed;
THE sight Of q face that is not forgot,
Although the voice be flushed;
The far. distant sounds of a harp's soft strings,
An echo on the air;
Oh things that once were fair.
There's a hidden page in each life, and mine
A story might unfold;
1t better rests untold.
