Going the round of the weekly
press now is West Vlrginian named
Saunders, who hasn't slept wink in
more than twenty years. AT least he
says he hasn't, and if he has he has
never been caught at it, though many
attempts have been made to catch
him mapping. A parcel of doctors,
with that object in view, undertook
to watch him some time ago, and al
ter sitting up with him, five Of them
at time, for Twenty-Five consecutive
nights, talking to him all the while at
the rate of two hundred octave pages
an hour, they found that he hadn't
even "batted bis eyes," and they
threw him away and went TO bed
They had given him popies and man
dragora, and ali the drowsy syrups Of
the world, and as a last resort they
tried that heretofore infalible test
they put him to reading a pile of the
Chicago Evening Journal, but ii
vain. "The balmy" seems to have
fled his eyes forever, and Morpheu:
trowDs that there is one living crea
ture who defies his most potent wand

Astonishing Success.

1t is the duty of every person who
has used Boschees German Syrup to
let its wonderful qualities be known
to their friends in cming Consump-
ton, severe Coughs, Group, Asthma,
Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and
and lung diseases. No person can
use it without immediate relief. Three
doses will relieve any case, and we
consider it the duty Of ali Druggists
to recommend it to the poor dying
consumptive, at least to try one bot.
tie, as 10000 dozen bottles were sold
last year, and no one case where it
failed was reported. Such a meoi'
cine as the German Syrup cannot be
too widely known. Ask your Drug
gist about it, Sample Bottles to try
sold at 10 cents. Regular size "a
cents. For Sale by o. G. Kimball,

He Quit Right There.

Some months since a fond Detroit
father imagined that is only son, a
young man Of twenty, was going into
consumption. A doctor was consult
ed, and he advised that the son be put
through course OF gymnastic train
ing. The young man seemed to like
the idea. and for two or three months
he was in daily attendance at a gym
nasium. Then he began to grow
careless, and finally quit it altogether.
The father thought he could see signs
of falling health again, and to induce
the son to 90 back to rings, bars and
gloves once more, he fitted up a pri-
vate gymnasium in the barn and be-
gan Il course of exercise himself. The
other morning he remembered that he
used to be boxer IN his young days,
and he remarked that he'd give the
son few lessons. He was balancing
himself on his heel and feeling out
with both hands, when something hit
him, and half minute afterwards he
dimly realized that some one was
bending over him and saying:
"Father, dear father are you
dead ?"
He sd, up, looked ar,and, and
hoarsely inquired:
"Jim, what on earth happened g
"Why, father, | got in lovetap
on your nasal-just a little feeler, to
see if you were solid on your pins
"Didn't you strike as hard as you
could p
"No-not half---not a quarter. 1t
was what the boys call feeling for
claret. Your nose will spring back
into position in less than half a day"
The father got up, let the gloves
fall from his hands, and as he caught
the trapcze to steady his legs, he said
"Jim, your mother and l thought
you were going into consumption, and
Doctor ---- he backed us up in IT.
That's why sent you to learn gym
nas,ics. jim, I'm a fool, your mother
is an awful good woman, and if we
can get the doctor uphere long enough
to let you feel for his claret | don't
care how soon | die y

Blatant Bummers.

We have received several letters,
not on the whole meritorious speci.
mems of composition, intended to re-
fleet severely upon our recent auimad-
versions with respect to reformed
bummers. "A correspondent, howev
er, is by no means disentitled to re-
spectful attention merely because he
is bad speller worse grammanan
and an execrable penman. We are
glad of the opportunity thus given us
of repeating what we lately said,
namely, that though reformed bum
mers are very good people in their
way, and doubtless contribute in some
small degree TO the kingdom of heav-
en-, yet the only way for them to Sc
cure the respect Of sensible people is
to say as little as possible about their
past and future careers, their repent
ance over the one and their intentions
about the other. Especially should
their ostentalious piety not be -four
ished on a public platform In a
mixed assembly there are always is'
nocant people who will be caught by
tie morbid flash and glare of this pan
demonium penitence, and who lose
sight OF the fact that the only thing a
gross sinner who wishes to do better
can do wit with grace, is to work for
himself and others and say nothing
about it. Too many so-called reform
ed inebriates "blow" too much about
their past yileness. Let them have
the decency to keep quiet. Then
they will learn in time the exceeding
beauty of u silent religion, which
speaks, as the flower speaks by Its
perfume. -New York Telegram.

Vacations are becoming decidedly
popular among nearly all classes.
Once we supposed they belonged only
to schools and colleges, but judges and
lawyers have for many years had their
vacations between court terms, and
the clergy have also gradually come to
expect few weeks of relaxation from
pastoral duties during the hot weather

Hazlewood were returning to the city
from a yachting cruise, they saw an
enormous sea-turtle swimming near
Naskeag Point. Three men got a
rope attached to him, but instead of
being able to pull the prize ashore it
could easily pull them to the water,
and after making theirrope fast 10 atree
they awaited the going out ofthe tide,
which left him high and dry. The
doctor made the following measure
ments From tip Of nose to the tail,
8 feet between the tips of the flip
pers, IL it.; length of shell, 4 #. 6 In;
length of ripper, 8 it. 6 in; weight OF
flipper, 40 pounds weight of head,
25 pounds. The doctor estimates the
total weight at 800 pounds. The tur-
tie proved to be blind, his eyes having
been put out by charges of buckshot,
which he had received at some time.
The fact of his being blind is supposed
to be one of the causes of his straying
so far from the usual haunts Of turtles
of his species. 1t IS evidently the
largest turtle ever captured on the
coast of Maine.-Bangor Whig.
