One Who Won't Go.

There are some men in Detroit, says the Free Press, who do not lose their presence of mind when confronted with startling political news. One of this class, an even-going, honest-minded elector, was mysteriously approached the other day by an "unknown," who carefully locked the office door and whis- pered:
 ''I have been deputized to wait on you and say that the boys are talking you up as Congressional candidate"
 "Yes."
 "You are known to be honest and re- liable, and if you are nominated you will carry the masses"
 Perhaps"
 "All you've got to do is to keep still, |" cautioned the unknown. "Just let us work this boom for you. You are our man. You have our respect and confi- dence. Mum's the word-we'n fix things. You'll accept?'
 "Well, I guess so.'
 "Good You are in the hands of your friends. Don't say a word!''
 The unknown left the office on tiptoe, but in ten minutes he returned, and then carelessly observed:
 "Oh! by the way, Pm $5 short on a little bill to-day. If you could spare it, I'd be ever so much obliged, and I'd re. turn it on Saturday"
 "Say!' replied the citizen in whis. per, as he beckoned the other to the door-"all you've got to do is to keer still You are in the hands of youl friends! Don't say word! Let me fix this boom for you!'
 He showed the unknown gently out locked the door and went back to his desk with the firm conviction that some one else would be rendered the nomina, tiOn ?

A Kind of L0fhurRy

Of the kidneys and bladder is sometimes exhib- ited which it is very desirable to overcome in its incipiency, as this symptom is but the fore runner of disease. When these important and sensitive organs grow dormant they may be safely stimulated with Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters, which in connection with its tonic and all terative, possesses useful diuretic properties. As it is through the kidneys that the blood is strained, surrendering certain liquid impurities injurious to health, it will be seen that by pro noting the action of the kidneys, the Bittors serve the double purpose of keeping them from
 falling into state of morbid degeneration, and also of depurating the blood. That fluid is also enriched by this supreme medicine, and the
 bowels, stomach and liver invigorated and regu- lated by it. As general invigorant also it has
 the highest reputation.

Many woman said a gentleman,

band financial standing, with the vague
promise of fortune thus held ont to
her. Mrs. Favor states that she merely
issued q business circular, not differing
materially from those usually issued by
such establishments to parties likely to
become their patrons. The Exchange,
she said, was opened a few weeks ago at
the urgent solicitation of ladies of large
and independent means, who had spec
uIated in Wall street for years, and had
often met with losses because their
facilities for information were not equal
to those of men. She, Mrs. Favor, was
simply the salaried manager Of the con.
cern, and had no share in its profits or
responsibility for its expenditures. -
Ladies of the highest standing-married

their own right, and others the wives Of
prominent lawyers, doctors and even
bankers-dropped in during business
hours, and gave orders to buy or sell
according to the state OF the market.

table, with his wife's miniature-a very
large one, then for the first time seen
by me-before him, propped up against
some books, and between him and the
picture lay an open book, which bore
the marks of long use. This book, as |
afterwards learned, was her prayer-book.
The miniature he always wore next his
heart, suspended round his neck by a
strong black cord. The last thing he
did every night before lying down to
rest was to read in that book with that
picture under his eyes.

never can do much business, you are

DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes reads the
newspapers religiously. He said years
ago: I'VE must have something to eat
and papers to read. Everything else
we can give up. If we are rich, we can
lay down in our carriages, stay away
from Newport Or Saratoga, and adjourn
the trip to Europe sine die. If we live
in small way, there are at least new
dresses and bonnets and everyday luxu'
ries that we can dispense with. Only
bread and the newspaper we must have,
whatever else we do without. The time
may come when even the cheap public
print shall be a burden our means can
not support, and we can only listen in
the square, that was once the market
place, to the voices of those who pro
claim defeat or victory (this was written
during the war; Then there will be
only our daily food left. When we have
nothing to read and nothing to eat, it
will be favorable moment to offer a
compromise. At the present we have
all that nature absolutely demands-we
can live on bread and the newspaper.

Yankee InquisitiYeness.

The Price Current, Portland, Me-,
suggests legitimate and wise plan to
increase the demand for the products
and manufactures of fany and every coun.
try. When a man has really valuable
article to offer to the world, he should
devise the best way and means to let the
buyer and consumer know the source
from whence it came, and, if possible,
the means and expense by which the re-
cipient may obtain more of the same
kind. The result of this justifiable in.
quisitiveness will be the doubling of the
crop of good apples in Mime within a
few years. L. j. Stout, Of Limingtoo,
Me-, while barreling apples to be ship
ped to parts entir ly unknown to him,
conceived the novel idea Of ascertainipg
their destination by putting letter, in
closing money to pay the postage on a
letter, in one OF the barrels, kindly ask
ing the purchaser to write him the date
OF opening it, his name and residence,
the price paid, the condition of the ap.
pies when opened, etc. In about three
months Mr.. Stout received letter from
a merchant in London, England, saying
one of his customers found the letter
and passed it to him, and by him it was
neatly answered, giving all the desired
information in regard to the apples, etc.
Last winter Mr.. Stout received letter
from the same merchant in relation 10
filling an order for Maine apples, but
the quality and scarcity of the fruit last
year prevented his filling the order sat
isfaotorily to himself. Last week Mr..
Stout received another order by cable
for several hundred barrels as samples,
from the same person. AS Mr.. Stout
will undoubtedly fill the order, the Eng
lish gentleman will no doubt be surpri-
sed at the size and quality of the fruit
which is this year probably third larger
than two years ago.

A Mirage Phenomenon.

The Morris, Mimi, Tribune says: "A
mirage, phenomenon common in this
locality during certain seasons of the
year, was unusually distinct last Sunday
morning, especially to the east. The
timber and clearings in the Holmes City
and Alexandria woods, distant some forty
miles, was very plainly seen from this
point, and the smoke from the houses in
Alexandria could also be seen for short
time. The condition OF the atmosphere
was such that there was double reAec-
tion, the first inverted and the second
erect. This, we believe, is caused by
the reflection and refraction on the dem
ser medium of mir. To the west the
coteaus or bluffs along the Dakota line
we're quite distinct, and looked to be
only ten instead Of fifty miles distant.
