Some people would rather be hum
bugged than to get 'valte received" for
their money. Hence it is that such per-
sons run after this and that pretended
cure for catarrh, forgetting that Dr.
Sage's Catarrh Remedy is 50 positive in
its effects, that its former proprietor ad-
vertised it for years throughout the
United States under positive guaran-
tee, offering $500 reward for an incura-
BILE case, and was never called upon to
pay this reward except in two cases.
This remedy has acquired such fame
that branch office has been established
in London, England, to supply the for
eign demand for it. Sold by druggists
at so cents.

In this age of nepotism and sinecure-
ism, nothing better illustrates the rad
ical and wise reforms in the admins
tration of our State government than
the appointment of this gentleman to
the place of Private secretary by our
esteemed Governor. ,
The law provides for an Assistant
Secretary during the sessions of the
Legislature, and an appropriation is
made for that purpose. Hitherto an
Assistant has always been employed
and considered necessary. But during
the recent session Col. A. M. Nelson
performed the arduous duties of this
office without assistance, and without
any additional compensation, leaving
the appropriation for this purpose un-
touched. None but those who know
the routine of the office, can form any
estimate of the amount of labor which
devolves on the Secretary, especially
at a biennial session, like the last,

Those who know him will not be
surprised at this account Of the con-
scientious discharge of his duties. This
has ever been his watchword. But 1t
will be gratifying to his friends here to
know that his services are appreciat-
ed, and that he is making host OF
friends throughout the State. We
venture the assertion that there is not
a man in the State better suited for the
place. In fulfilling the arduous
duties of his office, he has not been

silver dollar, allowing the dollar to be IL
inches in diametcr?"
The silver dollar is Il circle whose diam
eter is given as l-2 inches. The distance
between two points of an inscribed star of
five points is one side of aregular inscribed
pentagon, and hence the cord of an are of
72e. TO find the length of a side of this
inscribed pentagon, first divide the radius
(half the dianetcr) into extreme and mean
ratio, and the greater part will be equal to
one side of a regular inscribed decagon, or
the cord of an arc of 36e. Knowing the
cord of an arc, we have aformula by which
we can find the cord of double the are

and said:

lady. "That dodge died from over

arms crushed that hydra headed mon

"How noble must have been the
feeling which actuated your parents
to offer as a willing sacrifice upon the
altar of their country their darling
