A. L. STEWART.-Judge W. w. Camp
bell, writing from Cherry Valley, tells
the story of the invitation given to Mr..
A. L. Stewart TO become Secretary OF
the Treasury. He says: II dined
with Mr.. Stewart in company with
Gen. Grant on the day when the invita-.
ton to become Secretary of the Treas
ury was given personally to him. AS
we passed from the parlor to the dining
room he pressed my hand, say
ing only, lit has Gomez Alter Gen.
Grant left, Mr.. Stewart opened the
subject, saying that though the invita-
tion had been kindly aud earnestly CIV
en-, he could not possibly accept; that
his business was 50 extensive he could
not well leave it; and besides, he had no
political experience, and while he might
be able to manage the financial depart
ment, lie would not be able to meet the
political wishes of the Republican par
ty. After hours OF earnest discussion it
was finally agreed that if Bancroft
Davis, who had expressed a wish to
be Assistant Secretary of State (Which
Office he obtained and ably filled), could
be induced to take the place of his as
sistant in the Treasury he would ac-
cept." After 1t was discovered that an
old statute forbade his holding the office,
Mr.. Stewart said to the Judge that in
his judgment the course he offered to
take with his mercantile business would
have been substantial compliance
with the law; that he had carefully ma
tured system in his mind for carrying
on the Department., and added, 81 would
have taken the oath of oflice."-[ New

A wild man was lately lodged in the
Norfolk (Canada) Jail. He mad been
living in the woods near Langton during
the entire winter, sleeping without
cover or protection Of any kind, with
but few rags of clothing on him. A
charge was lodged against him for
living without any visible means OF sup
port, and he was ordered to be placed in
the common Jail for three months at
hard labor. he was captured with
considerable difficulty, as he is very
light on loot, and can jump over an ordi-
nary fence without toucning his hands
to it. He is about forty years OF age,
with black hair and whiskers, and APP
peared to know very little about him
self. He said he came from across the
waters, aud thought his native country
was Ireland. He did not know his age
nor how long he had been in Canada.
but said ne had lived in the woods ever
since he came to this country.

HE DIDN'T WANT TO DIE
Syracuse "a. " Courier

gentleman named Miller, residing a.
the corner of Park and John streets, aged
about sixty years, was picking cherries at
Mr.. Pfohl's near by, and while doing 20 &
limb broke. and lie fell to the ground, a
distance OF only ten or twelve feet, striking
OH his shoulder and the bjck OF his head
This occurred about ten O'Clock in the
morning. Miller was taken 10 bis rcsl.
dence, and DR.. Whedon was called.
When the doctor reached the house ana
made an examination, he found that Miller
had suffered dislocation Of the neck at
the base Of the brain, and at the upper
part OF the spine. lie could hear and un-
der.tand, but could not speak. Doctor
Whedon on further examination, found
that when the man head and neck were
p.lled into their natural position, he could
not only understand and hear, but could
talk as well. For about two hous the neck
remained IN its dislocated condition, and
most OF the time persons were employed in
holding the neck and head in position, the
mental faculties being in their natural
safe. Doctors who visited the house du.
ing the afternoon, declared that not in the
history Of the country has such a case ever
happened before. A dressing OF bandages
and weights, was applied to the PATIENTS
head, to keep the neck extended. The in.
jured man died about 4 o'clock Sunday
morning, and previous to his death be.
came paralyzed IN his right side. lie
lived eighteen hours with broken neck.

Gov. Creswell, of Michigan, in his
Fourth OF July Grafton, spoke as follows
of his experience at Adrian in his early
days: The men OF years who are hear
will bear me witness that the strngency
of the times following the panlcs OF 1897
and 1857 was greater than at present.
why, we'll remember in those days mon.
ey was so scarce that it was difficult to get
% cents in silver to pay the postage then
required on an ordinary letter. Our circu.
latng medium consisted mainly of Wild
cat bank notes, individual shln-plasters,
and orders on stores. All was barter
and dicker. When | worked at my
trade, fellow-workman wanted to con-
summate an engagement made with fair
friend Of the opposite sex. He called on
our boss for money sufficient to pay the
clerical fee usual on such occasion, but
he could not get it. Our employer told
him that he had not taken SlU in @
month. But being q man fertile in expe-
dents he suggested to the workman that
he would give him an order for the
amount of the marriage fee on minister
for whom he was soon to build house.
This was finally accepted and used, al
though 1t liked to have broken up the
match, as the preacher was of the Ohio
dox persuasion, and at first the woman
protested that she never would be mar.
ried by communion clergyman of that
denomination. She relented, however,
and they were duly united in matrimony,
anb the order paid the bill.'

A. IN instance OF what hot temper and
rash action can accomplish to ruin life,
an affair that occurred at Sharon. Pa, on
the 9TH 10 one of the best Illustrations. A
young lady, Miss Kate McGilyery, was
out drying alone and when on State street
desired TO get ahead OF wagon. She
called out to the driver to turn aside, 30
that she could pass. lie was deaf, in
firm old man, named Bell, and at first did
not hear what she said, but after a second
or third call did as requested. Misunder-
standing Mr.. Bells delay, the young lady
on her arrival home told her father that
the old man had tried to brighten her
horse. Mr. McGilvery is very impetuous
and this made him so angry that he started
down town TO find Mr. Bell. He met him
in front Of a store, and, without warning,
knocked hun through the window, cutting
his head badly, though not seriously. Mr..
Bell was removed TO his residence, and his
son Richard wasso maddened by his faith
er's condition that he determined TO pun
fish his assailant. lie found hiH in front OF
the very store where the first assault had
been made, aud picking up two-pound
brass weight, hurled it at Mr.. McGilyerys
head, frscturing his skull. The wounded
man died IN few hours. Miss Kate, the
innocent cause OF all the trouble, has lost
her reason, and Is now q raying maniac,
though her physician has slight hope that
she may recover from the shock Young
Bell NOW in custody.

WhVWe become Sick

Aside from hereditary pre-disposition
tomany diseases, there are four prominent
causes of much Of human disease, and
these are: Impure air, which causes poi
soning Of the Blood and Pulmonary dis
eases; unhealthy water, which is q great
source Of Typhoid and kindred feyers;
improper food, which is the cause of
Stomachic and Intestinal arrangement;
and sudden changes of climate and tenn
perature, which induce congestive disor-
ders. Thus, the absolute essentials of life
are often charged with the principles and
poisoned with the germs of disease and
death. Whenever the proportional prin-
clples Of the Blood become disturbed from
any of the causes named, impoverishment
or poisoning of this fluid follows; if the
digestive organs act abnormally, Dyspep-
sia and its distressing effects manifest
themselves; any cause that tends to ex-
cite the unusual action of the Liver is
certain TO produce Bilious diseases; and
whenever there is tOrpitude or sluggish
ness of the bOwels-Constipation, with its
host Of attendant evils, establishes itself.
From these universally accepted truths
it becomes comparatively easy to explain
Why We Become Sick. BY neglecting
tne laws OF nature, and eating unsuitable
food, Or eating Wholesome food in an
improper manner; by abundant drinking
at meals, by many other improprieties of
eating and drinking, and particularly by
that one Notwithstanding habit peculiar
to the American people-rapid eating
Indigestion or Dyspepsia is established
with all of its distressing consequences;
Immediately the Blood lowers its standard
and begins to deposit its impurities in the
weakest parts Of the system, causing all
manner Of discomfort and diseases accord
ing to the degree Of impurity and the
point of deposit, The great organs be-
come involved; the Brain feels the bad
influence; the Liver, the Spleen, the
Heart, the Lungs, the Kidneys, the Skin
ali are affected, and unless the impurity
be removed, the whole volume of the
Blood will become so poisoned that exist

To Prevent Sickness,

The pronounced opinions of the ablest
Therapeutists indicate that most diseases
are the direct result of vtiated Blood; and
as their successful treatment of disease is
founded on the principle and practice of
eliminating this blood poison by iudicious
purgation, so this same principle, by rea-
sonable adaptation to any case, is the
surest means TO prevent disease.
Keller's Vegetable Life Drops are an alb
solute preventive of diseases caused by inn
purity Of the Blood, Of Liver diseases, of
diseases ofthe Stomach, mtestines, etc. Its
corrective influence will prevent or short
EN- attacks of Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Nerv-
Gus Debility, Uterine disorders, Fever and
Ague and all that numerous class of dis
eases induced by malarial poison. Topre-
vent disease, then, purify the blood il
needed by using a reliable Alternative and
purgative; this, conioincd with the observ-
ance Of hygienic directions, viii establish
a condition of body in which health will
be the rule and disease the exception. A
careful perusal of the 'Manual Of Purga-
tive and Depurative Medicine viii fully
illustrate the subject Of which the above
is mere outline, and will clearly indicate
the method of using Keller's Vegetable
Life Drops. To be had at Drug Stores or

How 10 Cure Sickness

principle of judicious rgation;and when
it is considered that the best physicians
pursue the practice of attention to the

not difficult TO perceive that % remedy
possessing all the requisites of apurgatiye
and Alternative, in addition to other and
valuable remedial influence, must obtain
oritself more than ordinary reconsideration
and favor. Our remedy combines every
quality required for the treatment of dis
ease on the aboye-named rational princi-
pie. 1t is q pleasant Cathartic, active

on the Liver is soothing and certain, pro-
noting the Biliary secretions; it is a safe

cally upon the uterine system; it affords
the greatest attainable relief in Dyspepsia,
and cures whenever used as directed;
and in conjunction with hygienic means

that can be suggested
From the above it would then appear
that the simplest method to cure sickness
Is that one which combines judicious pur-

and the bowels open; and when treating
