A GENTLE HINT.-In our style Of
climate, with its sudden changes Of
temperature,-rain, wind and sun
shine often intermingled in single
day,-it is no wonder that our chill
dren, friends and relatives are so
frequently taken from us by neglect
ed colds, half the deaths resulting
directly from this cause. A bottle of
Boschee's German Syrup kept about
your home for immediate use will
prevent serious sickness, large doc
tors bill, and perhaps death, by the
use of three or four doses. For cur
ing Consumption, Hemorrhages,
Pneumonia, Severe Coughs, Crodpor
any disease of the Throat or Lungs,
its success is simply wonderful, as
your druggist will tell you. German
Syrup is now sold in every town and
village on this continent, Sample
bottles for trial, 1Oc; regularSize, 75c.

| repeat it to you, and will you
print it? Let me walk while
speak. | always walk when l talk,
and never talk well unless l am
excited. Well, l stood up and said
TO them:
GENTLEMEN-I claim no merit
for the following sentiments, for
they are right and proper. Gentle
men, you have prosecuted this
woman (you see | speak of myself
in the third person.; gentlemen,
you have persecuted this woman
for forty-fve years, and l hope no
other woman will ever be subjected
to the same hardships. For at
attempts upon my life | do not
charge you directly or indirectly,
but such are the facts; but for one
SO desirous of living as myself, it
was no trihing matter" (Here the
little woman interrupted herself to
laugh heartily at her own humor.)
"But mercy now presents herself in
the soul of this little woman, and
says, in the hour of her triumph,
she forgives you with all her heart.
To the poor people whom your de-
cisiop empowers me to dispossess of
their homes | say, return to them,
and next lwinter l will urge upon
the city the necessity of a compro-
mise, by which l Will ask, instead
of $4,O0O,O0O, only $4,OOO,OOO to
be raised by taxation and paid in
ten years in yearly installments
without interest.
"Now the city turns ont to be
bankrupt, and l am actually Dor.
rowing money to live on. That's
the way am coming out, and all
because | am too kindhearted to
rob those poor people in New Or
leans who are living in my houses
and upon my lands. Would a man
do this? Would any one of your
sex have been so considerate as |
have been? Well, come in again
when you have time, for | have a
great deal to talk about"
