What Is behind 1t!

No amount Of money can stand in the stead
of good name. 1t is blunder everywhere
and every time to suppose the loss of char
aeter can be paid for. DR.. David Kennedy,
of Rondout. n. Y, proprietor Of the great
medicine called "Favorite Remedy" would
have but little confidence to recommend the
public to buy and use it # his omn good
name were not behind it. But the fact that
he has staked his reputation upon it ought
to be, and is, better than thousand cheap
certifcates-in the opinion of the people.
The Doctor is regular physician-surgeon.
and despises a humbug as heartily as any
man. If you are sick with any complaint of
the Blood, Kidneys or Liver, invest One
Dollar in the ''Favorte Remedy" and it will
speak for itself.

How a Rebel Major Got His
Pardon. @
Springfield Republican

A few days after the war had
been declared at an end, Major
Drewry went to Washington, and,
without the usual ceremony ofsoud-
ing in his name, lest he should be
refused an interview, made his way
into the presence Of Secretary Stan
ton. Mr. Secretary said he, II
want my pardon as soon as possible.
I've fought against you as long rs I
could, and I've been whipped and
now ] want to 90 home and 20 to
work. I've got hundreds of acres
Of land that have been lying Glllow
for the last four years, and I want
to get seed into every inch oft this
spring, so I'll thank you to give me
my pardon and let me 90. He
talked so fast that Mr.. Stanton
couldn't get in a word; but being
amused and rather pleased by Ma
jor Drewry's bluff manner, he asked
at last, "On what ground do YOU cx-
pect to get pardon, sir?'
"On the ground, sir, that / show
cd you how to build a navy. You
sent your fleet Of old wooden ships
up to Drewry's Bluff, and we knock
ed EN- all to pieces, and showed you,
sir, that wooden ships wcren'tworth
a d.. And then YOU went TO
work and got together navy that
was worth something and it's on
the ground that my men proved
your needs TO you chat I want a
pardon" "
The Secretary laughed. and told
the honest rebel to call next day. as
he would like TO talk further with
him. Next day Majer Drcwry got
hi, pardon, and, III return, gave Mr.
Stanton a great deal OF valuable i'm
formation concerning the South.
He went back to his pleasant home
on the James, and has over since
been a wise, cnterPrisiug, prosper
Gus citizen.

The answer was rs conclusive as a
revolution could be, and Mr.. Dis
raeli returned to the premiership at
the head of a working majority of
over one hundred conservatives.
This Parliament would have oXpir-
cd by limitation in 1881, but Earl
Beaconsfeldscalled his general cleo

dreams and visions Of conquest did
not suit the British taste-which
does not like highly seasoned dishes

permit him to do more than ropose
