Flunkeyism.

The Burlington Cockeye, the funny
Iowa journal, that had an impression made
on silk for presentation TO the god of it's
idolatry, crammed its editorial page of tn at
issue with fulsome laudation of Grant. 1t
had variety of articles concerning him.
Among other things for which be was
extravagantly eulogized was the possession
of "a common sense that leads him to
realize the fact that honest labor is more
honorable than hunkied and lazy gentil-
lty." Though Grant hasn't done a days
labor 10 years. this wasn't meant to be
sarcastic. Further, he has "a common
sense, if you please, that keeps him from
stopping over"-a common sense. by the
way, which The Cockeye lacks wofully.
Among the journals other silly perform
ances is an article entitled ''Mrs. Grant,"
commencing: when Napoleon the First
was asked the question. What is needed
for the highest welfare of France2 he
answered the question in one word
mothers. There can be no national virtue
unless it be first cherished in the home
circle. There can be no national stability
unless the sacred interests of the family
remain intact. While Joan of Arc may,
once in millennium, be military leader
while once in century a woman may
attain remarkable distinction as a popular
orator-while the list of refOrmers NAV be
occasionally heightened by the names Of
great women, be it remembered that
woman's greatest service is in the mater
nal relation" As Mrs. Grant has had
three boys, two of whom have developed
into stalwart tax eaters. and as their edu-
cation has been a guaranty to the nation
that her sons will bring no dishonor to the
family name, therefore, according to the
argument of the Iowa journal, there must
be stopping over" on her account as well
as on that of the general, her husband,

A WONDERFUL MEDICINE
Certificate of a Prominent Citizen
Of Adrian, Mich, who had not
Walked without Clutches for
two years. He threw them away
in "a Hours after the first ap-
plication of Wizard Oil.

DR.. HAMLIN:-When l met your agent
here, in September, had been two years suf-
fering severely with Rheumatism, half of that
time confined to the house, and three months
at time to my bed The balance of the
time | was compelled to crawl around upon
crutches. 1 used medicines without number,
including a large quantity of morphine, all of
which proved worse than useless. AS to what
| suffered, the English language cannot tell
it TO any one who has not tried its realities
The first application of Wizard Oil gave
me relief in fifteen minutes, and dispelled my
doubts in twenty-four hours. / used a bottle
day for ten days. The next morning after
the use of the first bottle,
left my Clutches at home and
walked down town without them
for the first time in two years.
Since thenI have not used them, and cannow
split cord of wood as quick as any man in
Adrian. Some of my friends at first thought
such sudden cure would kill me, but wanted
a change, though it should be death.
That all who read this may know how I
have been, l will say, when l commenced
using Wizard Oil, could reach around my
leg above the knee with one hand.
I was reduced to a mere skele-
ton, and most of the time
when I moved upon
crutches, or tried to stand
without them, L could not raise
either foot from the floor.
1 used fifteen bottles in all, but have not used
any for two months. l now feel as we'll as
ever did in my life, and have gained thirty five
pounds in flesh. But l must tell you it seems
almost like dream. You can refer to me as
often as you wish, and hundreds of the citi-
zens of Adrian will testify to the truth of
my statements.

The kidneys and bladder, sometimes become torpid and weak from unascertainable causes. When this occurs, their discharging function is of necessity very imperfectly performed, and certain debris, whic is the result ot nat "al bodily vast and cay, does not cape it s.,ould bn- reme.-ls to corrupt the blood and develop poisonous humors nd dan gerous as well as painful diseases Ii is one of the beneficent effects of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters to gently stimulate the urinary organs, and prevent them from lasping into state of inactivity, always provocative of their inflam- matory degeneration and decay. How much better, then, is it to adopt this mild diuretie means of melting them to action, than to incur the danger ot this destruction. To e1- pei from the system waste matter through the bowels and kidneys, and to regulate and arouse the stomach and liver, are among the chief uses of this valuable remedy.

Everybody knows that long there is proud flesh in a sore or wound it will not heal. The obstacle is speedily removed and the flesh reunited by Henry's Carbolic Salve, the finest embodiment in existence of that supreme puri- fer, carbolc acid. Its emollient ingredients modify its pungent acid basis, so that it never cauterizes, stings scarifies the diseased part. Sores and eruptions of all kinds are cured by it.

Enough Married Life for the

friendship grew up, which in short
time ripened into love, and the result
was that they visited well-known Jus.

married, or supposed that they We're
Two weeks passed on and the discovery
was made by the supposed Justice OF
the Peace that his term of office expired
prior to the marriage ceremony, and
| that the couple were not legally mar,
ried. The surprise of the man and his
affianced when the state of the case was
told them 1can hardly be imagined;
They had lived together as man and
wife for two weeks, and the announce
ment of the fact that they were not
married created quite little sensation.
But the sequel is even stranger than
what went before. The would be hus-
band said to his intended wife thatthey
would go and see some one who was
really a Justice of the Peace and be le
gally married. She said she believer
she did not care to, that tshe had enough
of married life for the present and per
sisting in that opinion, she left towl
the next day for Boston.
