What soldiers of the TTnion o.-ar tbo,,rb+

What soldiers of the Union ever thought
as he saw his comrades lie bleeding and
dying about him on the field of battle,
that the the out-pouring of their blood
would in the near years of the future be
made a jest and derision? It was a
strange fraternity that was born of COM
mon peril and hardship on the field and
the march, and when a soldier fell dead
under the bullet or fever, no one mourn
ed his loss more deeply, or realized the
cost OF the sacrifice more keenly than his
own comrades. And nothing can stir
he survivors of the war to hot anger and
Indignation quicker than insulting refe,.
ences to the services and sacrifices of
their manned and fallen comrades. Three
weeks since In a Democratic procession
in Iowa, a shirt which had been stained
with blood was drawn in the dust behind
a wagon. The damnable insult reused
the soldiers of that county as one man;
they met In convention and passed reso-
lutions denouncing the outrage, and on
election day they buried out of sight the
candidates whose followers were guilty of
the vile act
It is strange that loyal men should
ever cringe and vince before that epithet,
''bloody shirt We do not see how the
significance of the term can be overlook
ed. The "bloody shirt is typical of the
sacrifice of nearly half a million brave
men in the cause of national unity and
of the rights of man. It should be borne
aloft as banner of honor rather than
dragged in the dust as a thing to be tram
pied upon. Had it rot been for the SOL
diers' shirts where would now be the red.

Merritt's camp. On the 10Th of October
an Indian came in to Merritt's camp to
have peace talk. He was informed
that Merritt had no authority to make
peace. He then gravely told the Gener-
al if he would give up his arms, ammu-
milton, horses and mules he would be al
lowed to leave with his men. After the
Indian left the camp, numerous signal
fires were observed in the neighborhood
of the camp. Two companies of infantry

trains with supplies for Merritt.

SUDDEN DEATH OF SENATOR
CHANDLER,

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-Senator Zachariah
Chandler of Michigan was found dead in
his bed at the Grand Pacific Hotel this
morning. He had been speaking in Wis
consin and last night addressed an inn
mense audience at McCormick's hall in
this city, and spoke with his usual earn
estness. After the meeting, when he and
Senator Logan and Hon. Jesse Spaulding
were sitting in his room engaged in acon
versation. Senator Chandler complained
of indigestion. AS he had complained Of
the same distressing feeling while en-
route to the city with these gentlemen,
Mr.. Spaulding suggested that he remain
over in the city until Saturday night,
but he said business affairs required his
attention at home, and the order was
given to have him called in the morning
at seven o'clock. His friends then babe
him good night and left. That is the
last time the senator was seen alive.
This morning, when the Office boy called
HIM, there was no response. AS upon q
repetition, silence prevailed, the clerk eff
fected an entrance through the transom
and found that the senator was dead
The body was not quite cold, and ply
stefan who was present, decided death
occurred about three hours previous to
the discovery. The face looked tran
quill, showing that death was painless.
The coroner will hold an inquest. John
B. Drake telegraphed President Hayes
the sad intelligence about eight clock.
From partial examination, DR.. Nc
Wicker, who was Immediately called, is
of the opinion that death was the result
of sudden congestion of the lungs brought
about by cold which was contracted at
GAINESVILLE.
Zachariah Chandler was born in Bed
ford, n. H., Dec, 10, 1919, received an
academic education, was bred merchant,
removed an early day to Michigan, was
elected mayor of Detroit in 1851, and
was defeated as a whig candidate for
Governor of Michigan in 1852. He was
elected United States senator from
Michigan in 1857, succeeding Lewis Cass
in this office. He was reelected in 1869,
but was defeated in 1876, and Judge
Christiancy was chosen. Last year Chris
tiancy resigned and Chandler returned to
his old seat in the senate.

The invention of that Superior and

important eras in the history of machin-

fulness and extremely low price ($25), it
Is very difficult to conceive of any inven-
ton tor domestic use of more or even
equal Importance to families. 1t has great
capacity for work; beautiful smooth, and
quiet movement, rapid execution, certain
ty and delightful ease of operation, that
at once commends it above all others.
The working parts are all steel, strong
and durable, and will last life time:
the bobbins hold 100 yards of thread; the
stitch is the firmest of all the stitches
made, neat and regular, and can be regu-
lated to sew stitches from an inch in
length on coarse material down to the fin
est, SO infnitesimal as to be hardly dis
cernible with the naked eye, and with
rapldlty rendering it impossible to count
them as fast as made; it has more attach
ments than any other, and it does to per-
lection all kinds of heavy, course, plain,
fine, or fancy needle-work with ease, and
far less labor than required on other ma
chimes. 1t needs no commentator, the
rapid sales, increasing demand, and vol
untary encomiums from the press, and the
thousands of families who use them, am
ply testify to their undoubted worth as a

We wish to call the attention of the readers
and thinkers of our city to this grand work No
work of its kind stands higher in the estimation
of scholars than the Encyclopedia Britannica
Its great cost was the only hindrance to its gene

afford to pay ten dollars per volume for twenty
one volumes. And until the work was reprinted
in the United States we were obliged to content
ourselves with its possession in few of our lead
ing libraries.
The work is now furnished in the American Re-
print at about one half its original cost and FER
feet in all its parts every word cut illustration

surgeon of the royal army, brought to
my husband, DR. John Grant, a box con
tanning twelve or thirteen pearls Of vari-
Gus sizes, saying: "Grant, you are a
wel-known man in Calcutta, and want
you to hear the curious account of these
pearls and to take charge OF the box, end
let me know any change you may see in
them. Their history is rs follows ::
About forty years ago lady at Anthony

Nerve Isau,e,uae and IL. Kennedy.

Restless nerves, at least those that are con-
stsutly so, are weak ones as well. The true
way TO tranquilize them tho oughiy is to
strengthen them. 1t may be, nay, 1t very
often is necessary to have recourse to sed.
ative or even an opiate in dangerous cases
of nervous inquietude, but the continued use
Of such unnatural psllistives is greatly to be
deprecated. Though not, in a restricted
sense, a specific for nervousness, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is emipently calculated to
allay and eventually overcome it, fact
which the recorded experience OF many goes
to substantiate. This inestmable tonic, by
promoting digestion, assimilation and secre'
ton, touches the three key notes upon which
the harmony OF all the bodily organs de.
pends, and the result is that fresh stores oil
vitality are diffused through the system, OF
which the nerves receive their due appor'
tionment. and grow tranquil as they gather
