And John J. Ingalls, was thus declar.
ed elected U. s. Senator for the ensuing
six years. Throughout the contest Mr..
Ingalls, had the support of powerful
lobby, and was assisted in bis splendid
organization by some of the very
shrewdest politicians in Kansas, to
whom much of the credit is due. Early
in the fight it was believed that he could
not be elected, but he gained strength
on every ballot taken until he received
the constitutional majority-all this was
done in tho face of the most determined
and persistent opposition.
AS is well known our FIRST choice for
Senator was our townsman, Col. Phil
lips. We should have been greatly
ovsrjoyed to have announced him the
victor in this contest. But as that is
out OF the question VIC take great pride
in publishing the fact that one of 80
great intellectual culture and large
craftsmanship as Senator Ingalls, Is
known to possess, is to be invested with
the Senatorial toga. He will DO one of
that coterie of "brains," known as the
minority" which will save the Nation
in the Senate from being delivered bod
lily into the hands OF men who are check
by jowl with the enemies of our flag,
and have sho wn themselves unfit to have
control of our government. 1t was tho
wish OF q largo portion of the Re
publicans of Kansas to have thorough
and consistent Republican represent
them IN the Senate. Such person Mr..
Ingalls, has proved himself to be during

Tile Use Of Lemons.

The lemon tree is q native of Asia,
although it is cultivated in Italy, Portu-
gal and in the south of France. In Eu-
rope, however, it seldom exceeds dimen-
sions of the smallest tree, while in its
native state it grows to over sixty feet in
height. Every part of this tree is val
liable in medicine, though we rarely en-
ploy any of it but its fruit-that is, the
lemon itself; ard every one knows how
to employ this, as in lemonade-to
squeeze the juice into cold water; this is
the shortest way; or to cut it in slices
and let it soak in cold water, or TO cut it
in slices and then boil it. Either way is
good. Lemonade is one of the best and
safest drinks for any person, whether in
health or not. 1t is suitable to all stom-
ach diseases, is excellent in sickness-in
cases of jaundice, gravel, liver com.
plants, inflammation of the bowels and
feyers. 1t is q specific against worms
and skin complaints. The pippins
crushed may also be USED with water and
sugar, and be used as drink. Lemon
Juice is the best anti-scorbutic remedy
known; 1L not only cures IuiS uisedse, put
prevents it. Sailors make daily use of
it for this purpose. 1 advise every one
to rub thir gums daily with lemon:juice
to keep them in health. The hands and
nails are also kept clean, white, soft and
supple by the daily use of lemon instead
of soap. 1t also prevents chilblains.
Lemon is used in intermittent fevers.
mixed with strong, hot black coffee,
without sugar. Neuralgia may be cured
by rubbing the part affected with cut
lemon. 1t is valuable also to cure warts,
and to destroy dandruff on the head by
rubbing the roots of the hair with it. In
fact its uses are manifold, and the more
we employ it externally and internally
the better we shall find ourselves. Ma
tural remedies are the best, and nature is
our best doctor, if we would only listen
to it. Decidedly rub your hands, head
and gums with lemon, and drink lemon
ade in preference to all other liquids.
This is an old doctors advice.

A FOOl's Luck in Leadrille.

Among the Pittsburgers who yielded
to the Leadville craze was one young fel-
low who was always fond of a rowing,
reckless life, free from the restraint Of
social etiquette. He belonged to good
family, but was poor. He went to Lead
vile and remained there quite while,
when he returned home on a visit the
other day. He was talking about his
Leadville life the other night, and among
other stories ne told the following:
"After I'd been out around Leadville
for several months got to be tolerably
prosperous. l had $500 in cash, $500
horse, a gold watch and chain, q good
pack mule, rifle, two revolvers, dog
and meerschaum pipe. One day l
came into town and drew all my money
in order to pay for a part of q claim
which l wanted to buy. l met a couple
of fellows l knew just after got my cash
and we resolved to have quiet little
game of poker. Well, sir, l never struck
such lead Of bad luck since was born
as did that afternoon. 1t was a square
game, but if anybody won anything they
naturally intended to keep it. Men
don't have much pity for each other out
in that country. Well, the first thing /
done was to lose $500 on four queens. 1t
was my deal. 1 gave another fellow four
kings. In less than an hour I lost every
cent had, then l lost my horse, then my
watch, then my mule, then my rifle, my
revolvers and my dog. 1 didn't have
money enough left to buy a cigar. /
went OUT of the place and resolved to
borrow revolver and shoot myself l
walked of out of the edge of town, and
without thinking of what was doing /
put my hand in my hip pocket to take
out my revolver. There was no revolver
there, of course, but my meerschaum pipe
was there looking like piece of shining
coal, it had been colored so prettily. AS
soon as I felt that pipe I gave yell of
delight and started off on q run for the
house where the boys had won my money.
They were still there. l got $40 on my
pipe and sat down to play again. won
a little money and then l got my dog
back, then my revolvers, then my rife,
my mule, my watch and my horse. 1t
seemed as though there was perfect
revolution in my luck. At last I won
$1,000 on one hand. The fellow who
was betting against me had an ace, king,
queen, jack, eight and four-spot flush,
and l had an ace, king, queen, jack and
fre-spot flush. When 1 got up from the
table it was daylight in the morning and
I had $4,000 in cash, besides the money
and things 1 started in with. I went
down to the hotel, borrowed the land
lady's Bible, and swore l would never
gamble again as long as l lived, and l
never have since and never will.-Pitts-

Gnnd Advice TO Parents.

Many parents labor under the mistak-
en- impression that their children must
all pass through the ordeal known as
children's diseases, and, MS they somc-
times express it, the sooner the better.
A child is no more subject to disease lin
facts less SOY than an adult, if the proper
precautions are taken to regulate its diet
and keep the system cleansed by appro-
pirate medicines. By this we do not
mean all habitual dosing" with purga-
tives. Such a practice would weaken
the infant system so that it could not re-
sist the attacks of disease, and would also
prove ruinous to its physical constitution.
But moderate, or blood-purifier. would
almost absolutely insure the child's sys-
tenn against disease, besides greatly pro-
noting its vigor and strength. DIR.
Prices Golden Medical Discovery is un-
excelled as an Alternative, and will prove
q very efIectual preventive of these dis
eases.

SECRETS OF MAsoNRY.-Old Zach
Wheeler was quite character in his
time, being clever, easy-going, confiding
llan, who managed to let everybody
Cheat him out of his inherited estates.
Just as his last farm was about to slip
out of his hands he succeeded in raising
the money to lift the mortgage. Aaron
Remer, prominent Mason, accompanied
him to the town. AS they were riding
on horseback, Zach says to Aaron, in
confding tone:
"Now, Aaron, we are here alone, and |
want you to tell me the secrets of Ma
sonry."

"Why, they won't know; they'll never

"No, I swear won't"
"Well, if you'll ride close alongside of
me, and put your hand upon my thigh,
and take the oath I'll administer, I'll tell
you the secrets Of Masonry"
Zack was not slow to comply, aud
most powerful "iron-clad" oath was ad-
ministered and taken.
"Now for the secrets" exclaimed the
impatient and unsuspecting victim.
"Well," said Aaron, with mock So
lemnity and secrecy, ''in the first place,
we Masons combine together to cheat
everybody as much as we can. This is
the first grand secret. The second is
like unto it. When we can't find any
body else to cheat, we cheat each other,
but as little as we can."
"Well," exclaimed Zach, 81 swear I'll
join. l wish had done it twenty years
ago. I might have been a rich man
afore now.'

OVER NIAGARA FALLs.-On Sunday,
May 25th, man by the name of "Pi"
Walker, one of the best known charac-
ters at Niagara Falls, ended his life
by going over the cataract. He was
the worse for liquor, failing to which
he was frequently a victim, and left Port
Day, some two miles above the falls,
about four o'clock. He endeavored to
pull over to the Canada side. He had
often braved the rapids in this reckless
manner, and had he been himself would
probably have accomplished the feat on
this occasion. There were several hun
dred people on the banks of the river,
two excursions having gone from Buffalo.
Walker struck out boldly, but one of his
oars caught crab and was whirled into
the rapids. The boat darted around the
curve above the American Falls and
Walker splashed recklessly for minute
and fell backward across the seat. The
boat was now at the complete mercy of
the current and hurried downward until
it reached point about half mile above
the falls, when it struck Il rock and
swung wildly around. 1t was near the
shore and hopes were entertained that
Walker would be saved. Itwas only for
a few seconds, however, for the boat atsoon
went to pieces. The intoxicated man
seemed to revive when he went into the
water and threw up his arms and cried
for help. He grasped for piece of the
boat, but the wild current overcame him
and over the cataract he went. Walker
was about thirty years old. He has
saved ten or twelve lives around the falls.

How the battle-ground in the Wilder.
ness Looks.

went over the Wilderness route, writes
a correspondent of the Cincinnati Enqui-
rer, in sight almost all the way of the
leading roads on which Lees army had
moved out from behind the Rapidan to
strike Grant in the line of March for
Richmond. At that time no railroad
existed through the Wilderness. A
narrow-guage railroad of very rough quail
ity, about thirty-nine miles long, now
reaches the whole distance from. Orange
to Fredericksburg, passing within sight
of Charlottesville, within short dis.
tance of the Wilderness Tavern and
crossing Mine Run, where Meade lost so
much time, on a high, frail trestle; the
railroad also crosses the lines of march OF
Grant after he left his camps around
Culpepper and crossed the Rapidan to
Raccoon and Germania fords.
The Wilderness at the present day has
only changed as far as building small
station houses and incipient towns along
the railroad goes. 1t is one of the poor.
est pieces of country in Virginia, and
originally dug over to find surface IRON
ore these ore-pits have been changed BY
the rains into gullies, which figured in
the great battles thereabout. All the
trees in sight are either sickly oak or a
stunted pine. There are few creeks OF
any kind running from the Wilderness
proper until you come to the soucres
of the Mattapouy, where the country
grows more fertile.
This region is sort of hill land, be-
tween the sources of various rivers, whose
original soil of clay mold was washed
off by the heavy rains, and has long age
disappeared into the river bottoms.
They were getting out railroad ties al
about every point we saw in the Wilder
ness, and also hoop staves-the former
to 90 to Europe. All the bodies on Wild
erness, and Charlottesville battlefield;
have been dug up and removed to GENE
teries at Spotsylyania and Fredericks
burg-those beautiful cemeteries where
almost all the dead are unknown, bu
which alone embellish this evil country
the deadly mud-holc of the world.

GOLD HICKoRY's" THANKS. The
Boston Transcript says that not long
after General Jackson's retirement from
the Presidency rumor got abroad that
he was bankrupt. This was too good a
chance of banter for the Wings, whose
detestation of "Old Hickory" followed
him to his retreat at the Hermitage, to
neglect. A Whig firm in Cincinnati,
taking ironical pity on tie old hero,
pasted two cards together, inserted two
of the large, old-fashioned copper cents
between them, and inclosed them in an
unprepaid letter to the ex-President, full
of mock coincidence. The postage on
the letter was seyenty-six cents, which
General Jackson, not knowing what was
within, promptly paid. He at once sat
down and penned a characteristic reply,
inclosing the two cents back to his would
be prosecutors. This reply they did not
see fit to take out Of the post office, and
it found its way to the Dead Letter Office
at Washington. The original is now in
the possession of Mr.. George NJ. Towle,
1t is full Of "Old Hickory's" gruff, sar-
castle humor, as we'll as his bad spelling
and grammar, as will be seen:
HERMITAGE, May II, 1887.
GENTLEMEN: Your kind letter, con
veying your charity of two copper cents
which you forwarded on hearing that ]
was broke, and bill drew by me fol
$4,000 had been returned protested, has
been received; and, as you have been
imposed upon by the vile falsehoods that
are daily circulated by the Whiggs, your
kind charity is herewith returned to you
that you may dispose of it, in charity, tc
such of the Whiggs that may have been
employed in trading in stocks and land
and in swindlirg the poor, Have the
goodness to inform all your friends that
have not drawn a draft for any sum, on
any one, for twenty years, nor have any
use for your kind charity, having long
since learned to live within my opn
means. Your charity is, therefore, re,
turned to you in the same envelope you
sent it, supposing, from the material and
great care taken, it is your only charity
repository, and the objects of charity in
your cit, :uld be much injured if moi
returned to you. Your mo. obt. servt.
till death, ANDREW JACKSON.

Blackberry WINE.

About q year ago we wrote some-
whatlengthy article upon the manufacture
of wine from the native blackberry, or
dewberry.properly speaking, which article
was extensively copied in all parts of the
South. Many of our subscribers and ac-
quaintances, taking our suggestions as a
guide, made large and small quantities,
with varying success. The season will
soon arrive and we urge the manufac-
ture of q moderate quantity of this
wholesome beverage, which in hot
weather possesses also great medical
virtues. 1t Is, par excellence, poor mans
wine.
In the briefest possible manner we re-
peat directions, which, if followed with
reasonable exactness, will give wine
superior in quality to any imported or
native grape product.
Pick only ripe fruit, the ripper the bet
ter. Remove all leaves, stems and other
trash as if preparing the berries for the
table. Take any large kettle mot an
iron one, )6ll it half full of berries, adding
water to cover. Heat gradually to s
gentle boil. Have bag, made of coarse
muslin aud a clean whisky barrel with
one end out, or large tub will answer.
Pour the cooked berries and juice into
the bag, placing it in the barrel or tub.
Squeeze by wringing till as much as pos
sible of the juice has been extracted.
Return the juice to the kettle, add three
or four pounds OF sugar for each gallon OF
juice, heat the whole tojusta boil and clar-
ify it as if it were syrup. Be careful not to
scorch. When finished, empty into a
clean, sweet whisky barrel, placed in the
position it is to occupy during the fer
menting period, and repeat the forego-
ing directions till the barrel is entirely
full.
Now take the "pomace" or pressed
berries ano cook them again, subjectlng
them to heavy pressure while extracting
the juice. Clarity as before and keep
this in some convenient vessel to use fol
replacing the waste of fermentation. The
barrel must be kept full, the bung being
left out for the escape of impurities.
When fermentation has ceased, bung
tightly, but having small gimlet-hole
in the burg, filled with small plug
which should occasionally be removed
for short time for the escape OF gas
Rack off and bottle on some clear, coo
day in the winter and the work is done
The spigot should be placed in the bar
rel before the juice is introduced ant
great care should be taken not to disturb
or shake the barrel at any time, even
while drawing oil. The wine will keeI
for an indefinite period, and will grow
better with agc.-Our Home journal.

in the night when the meteors were fall,
ing, and told that the day of judgment
had come. "Well, we'll" said he, testify,
"tell the landlord about it; 1 am only q
boarder." Laughter.
And now, Mr.. President, if the breath
-,was about to leave my body, and | was
permitted to say but one word as to what
my country most needed, that word
should be, Rest! Rest from strife, rest
from sectional conflict, rest from section
al bitterness, rest from inAammatory ap-
pesls, rest from this constant, most un-
wise and Improbable agitation. Rest in
all lands and in all literature is used as
the symbol of the most perfect state OF
felicity which mankind can attain in this
world and the next. "And the land had
rest" said the old Hebrew chroniclers in
describing the reign of their good kings ;
"and his rest shall be glorious" says the
prophet Isaiah in foretelling the coming
of our Lord, when Ephraim should have
ceased to envy Judah and Judah should
have ceased to vex Ephraim.
Heaven itself is described as rest--a
place "where the weary are at rest"
"Thcre remaineth therefore rest for the
people of God," saith the apostle. Can
we not give this rest to our people? l
know, Mr.. President, that those from
whom come desire it above their chief
Joy. The excitement through which they
have passed for the last twenty years, the
suffering and the sorrow, the calamity,
public and private, which they have un-
dergone have filled their hearts with in
describable yearnings for national peace,
for complete moral as we'll as physical
restoration of the Union. There is one
policy, and but one, to effect this object,
and that is the policy of conciliation, of
restoration, so steadily pursued by the
Democratic statesmen and people of the
North. IT is the only true craftsmanship
for our condition, the only genuine rem
edy for the hard times with which we are
afflicted. Nature everywhere teaches it,
and hez thousand agencies, silent and
mysterious, constantly inculcate it, even
as day unto day uttereth speech and
night unto night showeth knowledge.
Cross this noble river which flows by our
capital and search for the battle fields of
blood -watered Virginia. You scarce can
find them. Dense forests of young sap
lings cover all the hills and plains that
were so lately swept bare by marching
and encamping armies. "For there is a
hope of a tree if it be cut down that it
will sprout again, and the tender branch
thereof will not cease" Waving seas of
wheat cover the open fields SO lately
plowed by the bursting shells while
charging battalions met in deadly shock;
and green grass has so covered the lines
of intrenchment as to give them all the
seeming of the cunning farmers bitches.
Restoration is natures law. Let US imi-
tate her. God of all mercy and grace,
may not these gaping wounds of civil
war be permitted to heal, if they will2

THE GREAT LEAP.-Dispatches from
Buffalo give additional particulars of the
leap of II. P. Peer from the new suspen-
sion bridge at Niagara Falls into the
river below, distance of 192 feet. He
had on life preserver; his thighs were
confined with an electric strap, and like
wise his feet. Over his shoulders was a
leather brace, with a ring in the centre,
to which was attached cable composed
of 220 feet of No. 81 brass wire in six
strands. This was called balance, and
was for the purpose Of assisting to retain
his position, particularly if the wind
should be strong. 1t was reeled over a
cylinder attached to the guard-rail OF
the bridge, and which was operated with
a brake-h handle, like that used upon old
time wells, so that the mans speed as he
descended could he controlled to a Ger.
tain extent 1t was not fastened, and
the final end followed the man into the
water. When the word was given Peer
went like flash, reaching the water in
four feconds. He passed under the
water feet foremost, but soon reappeared
and swan ashore, not ut all worstcd by
the leap.
