We wish our readers to understand
that our merchants have not quit bust
ness. This might be inferred from the
fact that we have not called attention to
them this year. Wehave been too busy,
settling up, and getting ready for the
coming year
1t is a legitimate conclusion, when a
man, or a firm, do not advertise, that
they either do not desire custom, or that
they are playing out.
Among live business men in jackson,
who are able and willing to advertise,
and who want all persons, and the rest
of mankind, to come and trade with
them, we will mention a few:
Mark Sternberger las a large brick
room on Broadway Street, short dis
tance below Martins Corner He has a
very large store, containing dry goods,
boots and shoes, hats and caps.
groceries, and all othor kinds of goods
kept in general store.
Nearly opposite Sternberger's on the
other side of Broadway, is the store of
George w. Rice This is a short distance
below the Sternberger Corner Rice
keeps a very full stock for general
store. and his store is very popular
among the people.
Farther down Broadway, on the other
side, and opposite the Grafton Block, is
the furniture room of Wade d Long,
where you can get anything you desire |
IN the furniture line, from a child's era
ile or wagon, to coffin and hearse.
Coming up Main Street. we find the !
store of Oliver S. Miller, opposite the
Court House, where you will always find |
plenty Of goods, and plenty of customers.
As everybody knows Miller, it is not nee.
.ssary to speak in detail of him and his
Itore.

We have been informed that Peter
Hoop died last week at the residence of
one of bis sons, in Kentucky. Mr.. Hoop
must have been near so years of age. O
We first became acquainted with Mr..
Hoop in the year ls43, when he COM
menced the erection of steam mill
mile south Of Oak Hill He hsd former
ly been quite wealthy, in Adams county,
but he had failed in business, and had
but few hundred dollars left He and
his boys worked hard, lived carefully,
and after getting his mill into successful
operation, and running il few years, he
sold it to Morris & Edwards for $1,000,
which was large sum of money in those
days.
Mr.. Hoop afterwards again engaged in
the furnace business, and the great crash
of 1s57-6O once Jmore swept away all his
hard earnings. He made Jackson his
home for many years, and with some Of
his sons, was engaged in the milling and
furnace business.
Mr.. Hoop was most kind, agreeable
and obliging neighbor, an industrious.
enterprising man, and had but one fail
ing; but let that pass, and let us only
remember his good deeds. his honesty
and business integrity, his kindness Of
heart, and hissympathy for the poor and

How TO Court Sleep.

There are few persons in this work. a
day world, even those who are not OF
nervous temperament, who have not
known what it was to lose nights sleep.
1t was DIR. Abernethy, we think, who said
that fool never had cold in his head :;
he might also have added that only the
most Unimaginative or unsympathetic OF
natures meyer lose their sleep. Sleep is
undoubtedly one of the greatest blessings
enjoyed by man. sleep seldom visits
sorrow; when it doth it is a comforter. !"
1t is the sweet restorer of the weary brain,
the only Leths known to human frailty.
We never gaze upon a bald-headed man
with a turkey-red pocket handkerchief
spread beautifully over his well.fed counte-
nance without involuntarily repeating the
words of Sancho PaDza, Blessings upon
the head of him who first invented sleep"
a man may have good digestion,a placid
temper, conscience void of offense, and
yet feel unable to sleep. 1t is one of the
misfortunes Of our rapid system. Of living
and working that the best of us will carry
business to our homes, and nurse our
worries during the hours which should be
devoted to sheep. They manage these
things better in England and Germany,
where a man throws aside his business
with his dinner or his garden, aud snores
the snore of the just the moment his head
touches the pillow. We carry sleepess-
ness to such an extent that we can even
boast of a man who has not slept for
twenty years. How many worms that

Spencer, the Chicago savings bank
wrecker, has been tracked through Toronto,
Montreal, and Quebec, to the gang plank
of the steamship Circassan, which sailed
from the last named city on Sept !. The
baggage master at Toronto remembers
helping him pick all the railway, hotel, and
express labels off his four trunks, and the
ticket agent conceived respect for him
on seeing the rapidity aud accuracy with
which he computed the difference between
Canadian money aud greenbacks. With
Spencer was a lady, doubtless his wife,
VINO seemed TO shun observation, and a
girl of II or IA years-his dauRhter-who
walked up and down the platform with
him. In buying his ticketi lie showed a
large roll OF bills, and he asked the agents
about the Quebec steamships. The party
did not go to any hotel 10 Montreal but
left for Quebec on the evening train.
Arriving in Quebec they went to hotel,
the register OF which contains this entry
in Spencer's handwriting: John Will
liams, wife, and child, Illinois" The
same entry appears in the books at the
steamship Office The Chicago chief of
police has telegraphed to the police author

Another prayer miracle For two years
Miss Minnie Walters, of Harrisburg, has
scarcely left her bed, owing to a diseased
spine, and eminent surgeons have applied
heated irons, and told her that nothing
moro could be done. She became re-
signed, and bore her sufferings with Christ
ian fortitude. One day she prayed that
the Lord would raise her up and heal her.
Suddenly she felt herself growing stronger,
and almost instantly she was restored to
health and enabled to attend a prayer
meeting. Last Sunday she related the
miraculous cure to a Methodist copgrega-
ton in Columbia, Penn.

man may have caught during that period
we are unable to say, but we feel certain
that his example is doing an incalculable
amount of harm. Sleeplessness is killing
more people than drunkenness or virulent
disease. 1t is, of course, symptom of
disease of the brain and nervous system,
ard is but too often the prelude to more
serious consequences.
Many persons resort to opiates to pro.
duce sleep. These are but poor sub
stitute, however, for nature. Their effect
soon passes away, and the injury done to
the nervous system counterbalances the
temporary relief Many recipes have been
given by medical men, and those who have
suffered, to induce sleep. One man recon-
mends exercise before bedtime; another,
hard rubbing, with a flesh brush; third,
hot applications to the spine; fourth, a
little piece of cracker eaten at bedtime; a
fifth, tying a wet handkerchief around the
wrists; a sixth, lying down and thinking Of
sheep jumping through a hedge. One
good plan is to fix the thoughts on the
sea; to get up, as it were, a mental
diorama with real waves, a sunset perhaps,
or moonlight scene. Mesmeric sleep,
according to DIR. Carpenter, corresponds
precisely lie character with what is known
III medicine as hysteric coma. 1t is caused
by reduction of the supply of blood, pro-
duced by sort of spaspodic contraction
of the blood vessels. One of the most in
genius methods to produce sleep We have
yet met with is that discovered by Mr.
Braid, of Manchester. We commend it t.
the notice of all persons, more particular
teetotalers, afflicted with a tendency to thi,
distressing affection. 1t simply consists il
sticking a cork on the top Of the nose anC
fixing the gaze determidly thereon. II
the case of persons who are in the habit Q
taking little spirits for their stomach
sake, or even those who indulge to freely

Journal recommends keeping the lower ex

There will undoubtedly be an attempt
made at the next session of Congress to
repeal the tenure-of-offce law and to re-
store to the executive the power of per-
manent removal for official misconduct and
improperly. The argument in favor of
this repeal now will be that the existence
Of the law is an obstacle to the cause of
civil service reform, and that the presi-
dent, in order to reform radically the pub
lie service, should have what the constit1-
ton gives him, the power of permanent
removal.

A couple of the leading lawyers of Hin
ois, 10 response to a request by Gov. Gull
lom, have given an opinion on the question
whether the Southern penitentiary COM
missioners are authorized under the law
to purchase the old prison at Alton and
the hundred acres of land at the price
asked for it. The opinion of counsel is
that such purchase cannot be legally made.
That probably settles the question of the
location Of the new prison so far as Alton
is concerned
