One Of the saddest Of tragedies was

and his wife went away on visit on
Friday, leaving at home their son Jo-
seph, aged %, their daughter. Mary,
aged 10. and two other daughters, 0
and IL years OF age, respectively. In
the evening Joseph attended a SPELL
ing "bee," cautioned his sister Mary,
as he went away, TO beware OF tramps.
At 9 o'clock he started for home, and.
as he approached the house, the bark
ing OF the dogs alarmed his sisters,
as Joseph was not expected back at
so early an hour. 1t Is probable the
young man tried to test his sister
Mary's courage, for he pulled his hat
down over his face and otherwise
disguised himself. When he was
within a few rods OF the house Mary
appeared in the doorway and hailed
him: rs that you Joe?" But he did
not answer, and continued to advance.
The girl. now worked up to a high
pitch Of excitement, again hailed the
advancing figure with, who are you?"
Still no answer, and Mary shouted
again, as that you, Joe?" and ran in
to the house and armed herself with
a shotgun. Returning to the door
she discovered, to her surprise, the
strange man standing on the steps,
and as soon as she appeared he ad-
vanced toward her. stop" she
shouted, stop. or will shoot you'll
He took another step, and At the
same instant the girl raised the gun
and fired, and he sank down on Zhe

as she carried him into the house,
where he soon died.

Judge Blodgett, of the United
States Court. Chicago, tells OF an oc-
currence, showing how the law was
administered in the neighborhood
where he lived in early days, in Illi-
nois. 1t occurred at Downer's Grove,
in DuPage. county. Pierce Downer
was an early settler at this place. He
was a man of considerable force OF
character, but Of some what turbu-
lent disposition. In early days in this
country, all kinds Of farm produce
were very cheap. and would scarcely
pay for the raising.
One season Downer turned his at
tention pretty exclusively to corn and
pork, alleging that the exclusive man
ufacture Of lard oil that was likely to
occur, would greatly advance the
price OF pork. ~This idea, in. which
many OF his neighbors did not con-
cur, was his constant hobby at all
social gatherings. One day Downer's
whole drove Of hogs broke through
the fence into his cornfield doing much
damage to his corn. Downer pursued
them. and after much difficulty and
vexation, succeeded in getting them
out. t H35h taarl
Just as he was coming out OF the
field ut the place where he made gap
in the fence for the escape of the
hogs. he was accosted by an indolent
aud irritating neighbor, name Taylor.
who stood leaning upon the fence
with his chin resting on his folded
arms, and who, 1t seems, had been ali
the time a witness 10 Downer,s tribu-'
lation. which, being an opponent Of
the lard OF! speculation, he hadrather
enjoyed, Offering no assistance. = -
Viewing the dilapidated condition
OF the cornteid, said he, ~There.
Downer. what do you thiuk now Of
your lard lie sgeculation!' saie
This exasperated Downer's already
over vexed spirit to point beyond
endurance, he thereupon rushed
upon Taylor with stick he had used
in chasing his hogs and gave him
what in common speech is called a
ihreshing. There" says Downer,
"thal's what think of it."
Taylor proceeded to John Walker
a neighboring justice OF the peace
and had Downer arrested and brought
up on u charge or assault and battery
Walker heard the evidence Of Taylor
after which he proceeded himself tC
cross-examine him, when the fac
was disclosed that Taylor had been
during the whole time. an inactive
spectator OF Downer's tribulation
This gave Walker at glance pretty
clear insight into the irritating cir
cumstances. In summing up th,
case, says he, II don't know what tn,
law might be in other places, but th'
law OF this court is, that il a maj
will stand by and see a drove OF hog
in his neighbor's cornlleld, and no
offer to help him drive them out. b.

passed from her keeping to the hands
of the truest and bravest men of the
nation, to be forever, 1t Is hoped, an
emblem of liberty and union.. The
red stripes were emblematical Of fer
vency and zeal; the white OF integ-
rity and purity; the blue field, with
stars Of unity, power and glory. The
number, thirteen, was to symbolic
the thirteen original colonial States.
In 1918 Congress passed an act add
ing star upon the admission OF each
new State.
Such is a very brief synopsis OF the
history OF our flag. "Our girls as
well az ~our boys" may well admire
the part this noble Quaker lady took
In the grand work. She was a mod
est. plain Friend, who talked thee"
or @thou," and often was found bear
ing her public testimony among the
peaceful worshipers OF the society.
She was also marked woman in her
devotion to the sick and wounded
and suffering. She was every day q
visitor Of the hospitals OF the Revolu-
ton, and the celebrated DR.. Rush
styled her "the magical Quakeress. !"
Knowing this history, one can even
more fervently pray that heaven will
bless the stars and stripes, and fer
vently hope that the flag Of beauty
may ever be carried aloft by true
men, whose arms have power to crush
wrong and defend the weak and help
less, and that it may be reverenced
by the children as fervently as by the
fathers and mothers. while 1t con-

Is beautiful lake.
All, here is a scene fora painter
A cleaning and glorified lake,
With its framing of forest and prairie,
And its etchings OF thicket and brake; e
With its grandeur and boldness of headland,
Where the oaks and the tamaracs grow
A-league with the sunlight of heaven,
And the spirit-like shadows below.
Where the swallowsssk over the surface,
And quaff a. they touch the clear wave:
Where the r,.bins Geek out the cool waters,
And wsrly venture TO lave;
Where the ssndpiper toys with the eplashes,
And whistles his passionate not,
And the water-bugs sail like navy
Of fairies for battle afioat.,,
Where the bisckbirds go noisily over,
Aud the mallards wings rapidly by.
And the heron that flies like snowflake
Comes down from the clouds In the sky;
Where the boboiipk lights on the fiss-bladc,
And 30 proudly and prettily sings,
Or watches askAnce the swift minnow
That out OF its element springs.
Where the lilies a-bloom on the surface,
Held down by the cxble-hk stems,
And the tints OF the Of the bright cardinals
nsve the scmblance of loveliest gems;
Were the moses in festoons are hanging
In the richest of fashion and told,
TO decorate submarine dwellings
Ger paycmcnss of amber andzgold.
Where the soul Of the mortal may worship
In the freedom of unwritten creeds,
Hearing many and joyous responses
In the music that cJmes from the reeds;
And where in my fancy I've pictured
A temple that's builded 90 high.

Symptoms Of a DiseasedLive

Symptoms OF a Diseased Liver.
DAM in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top Of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen.
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally considerable loss of mem-
ory, accompanied with a painful SEN
sa,ion of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
weariness and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,

ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, YET
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several Of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
hare occurred where few of them ex-
isted, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.

Those Useful CondEits,

The kidneys and bladder, sometimes be-
come torpid and weak from unascertain-
able causes. When this occurs, their dis
charging function is of necessity very i'm
perfectly performed, aud certain debris
which is the result Of natural bodily waste
and decay, does not escape as it should
but remains to corrupt the blood and
develop poisonous diseases. 1t is one Of
the benefcent effects of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters to gently stimulate the
urinary organs, and prevent them from
lapsing into a state Of inactivity, always
provocative of their infammatary degen-
Grafton and decay. How much better,
then, is it to adopt this mild diuretic as q
means of melting them to action, than tC
incur the danger Of this destruction. To
expel from the system waste matter
through the bowels and kidneys, and IL
regulate and arouse the stomach and liver,
are among the chief uses of this valuable
remedy.

A Washington correspondent says that
Mr. Sohurz, who will soon address his
countrymen at Cincinnati, lis preparing
himself for one of those old time German
speeches with which he electrified the
German voters 10 the Lincoln campaign of
1860" This would indicate that the ma
tional or rather sectional issues Of the
day are considered of more urgent i'm
portance in Ohio than questions of finance.
The latter are virtually or for the time
being settled; the others are Of robust
vitality and set to he adjusted, and the
friends OF Citizen Foster well know that
the war record of bis competitor is a
greater element of strength than his fnan-
rcal opinions are elements of weakness.
Hence the necessity Of fortifying against
so formidable Democratic advantage, and
firing anew the lukewarm loyalty" of the
Republican party. Sherman lost votes in
Maine by his tedious and self clarifying
dispositions on resumption, and it is not
intended that Mr.. Schurz shall reiterate a
similar folly. 1t will require something
| more, however. than an eectrifying ma
| chine of the 1860 patent to hold even the
German voters of Ohio to the Radca

A petition was being circulated to-day
by Quincy McNeal, 10 the interest Of Capt.
Robt. K@aler as republican nominee for
treasurer. We have nothing to say dis
paraRiog to the captain, but, az several
prominent democrats have been 90
preached, we desire to say this-that no
matter under what guise this petition may
be presented it is purely u republican
scheme aud should be left alone by dem
ocrats. The object is to get as many dem
ocrats as possible pledged under the pre-
text of the move being independent and
then at the proper time the republican nom
inee, be he whom he may will be unaui-
mously supported by that Larty. Demo-
Gratis will do well to fully satisfy them
selves before signing any petition. The
manner IN which republicans kept their
faith in the Judicial election ought to be
still fresh 10 the memory of democrats.
1t is well to block this little game before
it begins. No democrat can afford to
sign any document that helps republican
success.
