Teaching Frenchmen How to Dig.
life of Sir Sir Joshua wallnsley.

[Ijfc Of Sir Sir Joshua Walnsley.
One day we passed by French line in
process of construction; the navvies were
digging and removing the soil in wheel
barrows. Stephenson remarked that
they were doing their work slowly and
untidily. "Their posture is all wrong, "
he cried; jumping out of the carriage,
with the natural instinct that impelled
him to be always giving or receiving in
struction, he took up a spade, excavated
the soil, and filled wheelbarrow in half
the time it took any of the men to do it.
Then, further to illustrate that in the
posture of the body lies half the secret of
its powers, he laid hold of hammer and
mallet, and, posing his figure, he threw
it to an immense distance before him,
challenging by gestures, the workmen,
who had now gathered round him and
were curiously watching him, to do the
same, but they one and all failed to equal
the feat. The interpreter explained
the lessons to the navvies, and told them
who their teacher was "Ste-vim- son!'
the name went from mouth to mouth.
The intelligent, appreciatiye Frenchmen
gathered close around him, and broke
into vociferous cheers, such as | thought
could only proceed from British lungs,
until the echoes rang around us on every
side

A Warranted Rubber Boot.

The "Candee" Rubber Co., of New Haven,
Conn.,, is making new rubber boot, which is
just what outdoor men have long been looking
for, viz, one that is warranted. These boots
are called the '95" Per Cont Sterling Rubber
Boot. They warrant them three months, and
if your boot cracks or gives way in that time,
you can secure new pair free Of charge, pro-
yided the boots have had fair usage.
That there may be no question about the
three months, when you buy the "95" Boots,
the storekeeper punches the datein the top of the
leg, in spaces provided for that purpose, and
the warrant begins from that date and cannot
be disputed. These "95" Per Cent. Boots are
as pure as can be made, and will last six months
hard wear. The exposed portions are doubled,
and the soles are half All inch thick, Of solid
rubber, and will outwear three pairs Of any other
rubber boots. Illustrated catalogues with full
particulars are supplied by the "Candee" COM
pany on application, or the boots can be seen in
most stores

A Pleasant Remedy for TOothache.
from the Baltimore Practitioner


"Our cook" says I. G. Osborn, NJ.
d., Greensboro, Ala, presented her
self to me with swollen cheek, asking
for something to relieve the toothache,
from which she had been suffering all
night, and for which she refused to have
the tooth extracted. AS there was moth
ing of the usual kind at hand, l was on
the point of telling her to call later ut my
office, or go to a dentist, when it occurred
to my mind that there was in the house
vial of compound tincture of benzoin,
which I had been using upon young
mother as protection against sore nip
piles.
After cleansing the decayed tooth l
saturated pledget of cotton lint with
the tincture and packed it we'll into the
cavity, hoping this would suffice for the
time, and bidding her come back in two
or three hours if she was not relieved. L
was turning away when she remarked
that it might not be necessary, perhaps,
as the pain was already goue. Suppos-
ing her faith had large share in the re-
lief, / would not allow myself to think
that the medicine had anything to do
with the cure any more than SO much hot
water would have done.
But when l arrived at my Office there
were two other patients awaiting me
with the same affection, and determin-
ed by way of experiment, to use the same
remedy. To my agreeable surprise both
patients declared themselves Immediately
relieved, and begged vial of the tincture
for further use.
During the winter number of similar
cases applied, and were instantly re-
ieved through the same treatment, all
expressing much satisfaction with the
remedy.
In December told my druggist of the
discovery, and recommended him to sell
it to any person applying for toothache
drops This, he reports, he has done,
and that every one seemed delighted
with the medicine"

A Noble Young Fellow.

George Herbelin, young man 30
years old, was house surgeon at the
hospital of Sainte E1genie, where Group
and diphtheria have been raging among
the infant patients during the present
winter. NJ. Herbelin's devotion to his
young charges was the subject of much
remark among the visiting physicians
and the sisters connected with the hospi-
tai While at the bedside of two little
children suffering from diphtheria,
symptoms of the disease were last week
noticed in himself by another medical
man, who insisted upon NJ. Herbelin go
ing home. He did 50 and died in few
days. While NJ. Herbelin was on his
death bed the circumstances were related
to NJ. Grevy, who quickly had an inter
view with General Venoy, grand chancel-
lor of the Legion of Honor, at whose in
stance the cross OF the order was award
ed to the young surgeon. It was taken
to the dying man who, overioyed at the
news, exclaimed, 81 am decorated |

He sank upon his bed exhausted, and
died clasping the ribbon attached to the
cross.

this year. They made only feeble eff
fort to elect the October ticket. But af-
terward, when they found that the Re-
publican majority was only $500, they
regretted their folly, for they saw they
could have easily succeeded II they had
tried. This would have turned the tide
in favor of TiIden, and even as it was,
Hayes in November obtained plurality
of but $500 in an aggregate vote OF $50
900.
Since then Ohio has been wavering.
In 1877 Bishop, Democrat, carried the
state for Governor by plurality of %
500. The next year the Republicans
won it back by an average plurality Of
8 800; and last fall, though Foster, the
Republican candidate for Governor, re-
ceived a plurality of II 600, his absolute
majority was only 1852
Gar 3ld is by no means as acceptable
and popular in Ohio as Hayes was in
1876, All sections and factions of the
party in the state united upon Hayes.
And yet, though the Democrats commit.
ted the mistake of fighting languid
battle, the Republicans barely saved
Ohio in October. GMf9ld stands on
much lower ground in that state than
Hayes occupied four years ago. Thou
sands of the friends of Grant, Sherman
and Blaine have turned the cold shoul-
der toward him. By putting forth exer-
tions worthy the emergency, the Demo-
Gratis can carry the state. With Indiana
going the same way and West Virginia
close behind, the Presidential election
would be practically determined in o.
tober.-N. Y. Sun.

TANNERS TIME BEATEN.
A Washington County Lady Lives Four Years
Without Food.

A Washington County Lady Lives Four Years
Without Food.
Since DR.. Tanners feat of fasting forty
days and forty nights, quite number of
very singular cases have been brought to
light. One of the most striking is that of
Miss Happier, daughter of Hon. John A.
Happier of Monongahela city. According
to the statements of her family and her.
self, she has not tasted solid food in four
years, subsisting most of the.time on a
small quantity of water, lemonade or fruit
juice. The lady is about twenty-four
years of age, and has the appearance Of
one who eats a reasonable amount of
food. About four years ago, while at
school in the eastern part Of the State,
she was attacked by neuralgia, and des.
pite the efforts of the best physicians in
the country she suffered continuously.
Finally it 80 affected her spine that she
became unable to walk, and now moves
about in an invalid chair mounted on
wheels, which she propels with her
hands.
At the time of the first attack she lost
her appetite completely. Ever since
then the least bit of solid food produces
the most distressing nausea, not even
being able to retain medicine long er ough
to experience its effect She frequently
goes month without taking drop Of
anything except water, and sometimes
does not tase that for ten or fifteen days
at time. Occasionally size grows very
thin, and then fattens up quickly with
out any change of diet. Her strongest
desire is for acids, and when feeling like
it, can swallow the juice of an entire
lemon withent any Ill effects, but dare
not take particle of the solid portions
Ter food and drink for the last four years
has been small quantities of water and
fruit juices, without a particle of 80 i'd
food soup or milk. There can be no
doubt of the tru hfulness of these state
ments, because no one could be more
anxious to epj)y the fat OF the land than
she; besides her father would not coun.
tenance any sham ming PNSburg Post

LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTA-
TION.

The Philadelphia Times puts it in this
shape
1t is not necessary to repeat here,
the now familiar story of this $4,000 fee.
When Chittenden, the lobbyist, wrote to
his employers; "The influence of Gen.
Garfield has beOn secured by yesterday,
last night and to-day's labors, He car
ries the purse Of the United States-the
Chairman of the Committee on Appro.
priations-and is the strongest man in
Congress, and with our friends" he and
they understood, if Garfield did not,
what service they expected Of him.
Whether he actually did render them
any service at all beyond the essential
one Of favoring the appropriation on
which their contract depended, is no less
true, as Mr., Doolittle said in his brief:
No counselor at law, while holding a
high Office. has right to put himself in
position of temptation, and, under the
pretenCe of making a legal argument,
exert hi4 official influence upon pubic
officers dependent upon his future &C.
tion.
This could not have been more true
had the whole bench OF the Supreme
Court said it; is none the less true
whether it applies or ever applied to the
Presidential candidate or not. That it
has its forcible application among per-
sons holding Office in Philadelphia, no
reader of the newspapers needs be told.
A short time ago railway corporation,
seeking grant of imoortant privileges
from the City Councils, sent to an inhu.
ential member of the committee having
the matter in charge, and proposed to
retain him as counsel for the $4,000 fee
that appears to be customary in such ca
ses AS the company had already excep.
tionally able counsel, the object of this
proposition was manifest; but it was not
until he had thought over it for day
that the member decided, with courte-
ously expressed regret, that it would be
best for him to decline. Now, it is plain
that if the truth set forth by the counsel
in the case of Chittenden vs. Mcclellan,
as quoted above, had been fully accept.

the city, it would not have taken this
Councilman twenty.four hours, or twen.
ty'four seconds, to recognz9 his duty.

ed by the managers of the big Republi-
can circus. 1t was rather cunning trick
but the people understand it. Republi-
cans had tod and retold the old "rebel
outrage" lies until nobody would even
listen to them, much less believe them,
ahd 80 it was determined to put them in
the mouths of alleged Greenbackers that
there might be an appearance of disin-
terestedness. That is to say, the Repub-
licans had acquired such repu alton
for being liars In this regard that the lies
became of no effect and General Weaver
and his Greenbackrs being poor and
needy were hired to lie. That is all
there is about it.-Plain Dealer.

OHIO IN OCTOBER.

The Republicans have given notice Of
their intention of making a strenuous
effort to carry Indiana in October. The
Democrats should accept the challenge
by trying to capture Ohio in October.
The idea seems to have got abroad that
the Democrats will practically abandon
Ohio to their opponents, making only
the semblance Of an attempt to elect
their state ticket in October, while devo.
ting their main energies to securing In
diana.
If such a course is contemplated it
ought to be changed at once. The Re.
publicans never give up doubtful states,
They stubbornly contest every inch of
ground. O1io Is q close state. When
Hayes ran against Allen for Governor in
1876, he beat him by the small majority
Of $500. In the important election Of
October, 1875, the Democrats committed
the same blunder which, as is now re-
ported, they are thinking Of repeating
