1t makes no difference how many ply
sicians, or how much medicine you
have tried, it is now an established fact
that German Syrup is the only remedy
which has given complete satisfaction
in severe cases of lung diseases. 1t is

who are predisposed to throat and lung
directions, consumption, hemorrhages,
asthma, severe colds settled on the

A Curious Insect.

"Don't catch that humble. bee il

q bystander to dentist with scientific
proclivities who resides in the country
"Not a bit Of danger" said the doctor
"the fact is, that fellow is not bee at
all, only fly made to resemble the
humble. bee very closely, but differing
therefro in some points easily detect.
ed by any one with slight knowledge
of insects. He is very formidable fel,
low among the smaller insects, devour-
ing great numbers of them, but incap-
able Of injury to man. In fact ne Ia

fraud, made to represent bumble-bees
for two reasons Because its victims do
not expect to be eaten by the honey
loving humble bees, and its enemies
are frightened away by fear Of the ter
rible business end of that insect. There
are many such cases Of mimicry in the
insect world. 1t belongs to the genus
laphirs." "How do you distinguish

Murat naIstead ON EnaIish.

The following Is an extract from 81
interview which the New York Herald
prints, with Murat Halstead, editor o
the Cincinnati Commercial:
"Why is English unpopular Well
l should not like to say that he evei
made money wrongfully, for | have nc
information to that effect, but he's a
man who--that is hos . maxwell,
he skins to the bone everything he can
get hold Of. at any rate that Is what
Indiana says. He is the only man in
the United States who has an iron front
door,"
San iron front doorl WHATS that
forY'
"That's what the indianapolis boys
say he has. His bedroom windows
used to be all barred up like psni.
Tertiary or an insane asylum, and the
front door Of his house In the fashiona.
BILE circle Of the city is declared to be
iron. The boys say that when It bangs
the sound can be heard all over Indian
apolis. You can see how popular he is
likly to be. The iron door shows his
magnetic sympathy with the public.
The only way that can see that ths
Democrats can carry Indiana Is for the
New York men to send out Is to every
81 the Republicans get. With that
of material, the Democracy
may carry the State. They are not
likely to get the money out Of English.
It must come from New York."
A gentleman friend Of Mr.. Halsted,
who was also an interested listener,
here asked what sort Of man the In
diana Democrats had nominated for
Governor
"Ohl hs," exclaimed Mr.. Halstead
theoretically; she's the most aston
ishing Grsenbacker In America. He is
Of the Wabash school of finance; would
rather pay the national debt Ill corn
stalks than that it should be rspudia-
ted"
CAB, that will help the thing along"
said the gentleman with satisfied air.
81 don't now about that" remarked
Mr.. Halstead, doubtingly, "Landsrs
Is more popular than English; perhaps
because he has less sense. The I'M
Of English does not arise
rom his being fool. He is too thrifty
md tight in small matters. When he
ets go Of a dime the Goddess Of Liberty
Knows she has been in his grasp"

show that it was caused by Hastings

who had possession Of the lost docu'
msnts of the State Of Delaware, an ac'
count of which was published in
the REPUBLICAN, several years since,
and specimens of which Mr.. Vincent
exhibited to the Legislature at Dover
in 1873.
Mr.. Vincent prevailed on DR.. Gil
bert at that time to consent to sell
them to the State. Although he
wished his name kept secret until the
purchase was consumated. The legis.
lature agreed to give the price asked
and the late Leander F. Riddle, one Of
the Senators of this County, had charge
Of the matter. But a misunderstand-
ing occurring the Legislature adjourned
before It could be remedied, and the
sale and return to our archives OF the
lost records of the State were never COM
pleted. He had Delaware deeds by the
barrel full, as we'll as signatures Of
