United States Senator Carpenter, OF Wiscon-
sin, has smoked himself into i'll health, as tho
following statement, telegrspbed from Chicago,
makes manifest: 1.-The announcement that
Senator Carpenter has been advised by his
physician to go to Florida for his healta was
genuine surprise to his friends in Milwaukee.
Few supposed him to be in other than the best
OF health and spirits. Apersonal friend of the
Senator said: Il tell you no man can smoke
twenty Havana cigars day, and keep up the
practice, without encountenng certain death.
1t is hazardous thing to do and Matt Carpen
ter is dong 1t. You observe the consequence.
Matt is a slave to tobacco, and it is killing HIM
slowly, but surely. He is wasted SO that bis
limbs have become emaciated to the semblance
Of pipe stems. They call It rheumatism, out it
is tobacco and nothing else that has wasted him
away to this extent and it will continae it's
work until death steps In and claims another
victim.w

About 8 80 O'Clock last evening, and upon open
ing the door was confronted by a strange man

the window to see what had become OF him,
when large stone crashed through the glass
and narrowly missed Mr. Stewards head The
man stood on the sidewalk as he threw the

posing that the mscreant had gone away, Mr..
Stewart opened the front door for the purpose
OF notifying policeman. When the door was
fairly open and Mr.. Stewart standing on the
threshold the robber started up from crouch
ing position close by attempted to shoot him
in the head. Before he could do 80, however,
Mr.. Stewart let fly his right duke and knocked
the intruder down, then quickly jumped inside
the door and turned the key. After this sec
ond defeat the stranger went, away, and made
an unsuccessful attempt to burglarize the
house next door, but the inmates frightened
him of. Later in the evening three men tried
to break into house on the corner Of Fifth
and Howard streets, but the servant girl made
such fuss about the matter that the rascals
left the neighborbood in disgsst.-Detroit

with Senator Chandler that the mission OF the

which the southern man can express his opin-
ions respecting the rightfulness OF the rebellion
