Our Candidates for Justices OF the
Supreme Court.

The Detroit Every Saturday, non
partisan journal, speaks of John w
Champlin as follows;
"John w. Champlin, of Grand
Rapids, is fine lawyer and an upright
man. His presence is commanding
while hard work in the Office and long
experience in court have developed
him into one of the first lawyers Of
Michigan. In conducting Il case Mr.
Champlin is shrewd. so that his oppo,
nent never gets ahead of him; and he
always keeps his temper. Mr. Champ
lin was born in Kingston, n. Y, fifty
two years ago, and has been practie-
ing law in Michigan for twenty-eight
years. lie has been Judge of the
Recorders Court, member Of the Leg
islature, and Mayor Of Grand Rapids.
In 1871 he was the Grand Master Ma
son for the State In religion he is
an Episcopalan. His practice has
reached to the United States Supreme
Court"
The Kalamazoo Daily Gazette, in
giving sketch of the life of Hon.
Thomas r. Sherwood, says he was
born in Ulster county, N. Y; studied
law in Pittsford and Canandaigua,
and was admitted to the bar in 1851 ;
removed to Kalamazoo, Michigan, in
1852, and entered into partnership
with Judge Howes, with whom he re-
NAMED two years, and then went into
business alone. The records of the
court of which the people propose to
make him a member, attest the able,
pains-taking and careful manner in
which he looks after the interests of
his clients and has discharged the du-
ties Of his profession. He has occu-
pied a position second to no man in
his profession in western Michigan.
From his first appearance in the
courts of his county, he commanded
the respect of all his associates. His
whole life has been given to a patient,
careful and critical study of the fun
damental principles and practice of
his chosen profession, and no one who
has "A correct knowledge of the require
ments of the office for which he has
been chosen a candidate, and who
knows his legal ability and acquire
ments, has or can have any scruples
as to his entire fitness for the position.

The Chicago Daily News sends us
finely printed engraving of one of
their large corps of news boys, and
asks our opinion Of him. Well, he
looks ragged enough to be natural ;
he, to all appearances, appears to have
a pair of well developed lungs, and
there is just ink enough on his face to
indicate that it has been long time
since he took a swim. He stands up
proudly holding in full view with the
right hand copy of the News, while
a bundle of the same papers are I'M
der his left arm His coat was evil
IDENTIFY made in some ancient period
for larger person, and his hat,
pants, shirt, shoes and other garments
have seen better days. He is a gen.
uine type of the city newsboy, equal
ly ready for fight or a frolic, and
we'll filled with energy. His house
is a large one, comprising all out doors,
with occasional aristocratic quarters
in a dry goods box or fifth story gar
ret. He has had his wisdom teeth
cut, and knows a bogus nickel when
he sees it. If you give him n dollar,
and wait until he comes back with the
change, you will probably wait a long
time. He is boy to be admired and
pitied. Admired for his grit, his
energy, his perseverance, his trials
and struggles with life under very
adverse circumstances, and pitied for
his hard life, his miserable surround
ings, his temptations, sufferings, and
the hard lot that is before him, with
its usual ending in crime.
The publisher of the News claims
a circulation averaging 1882 copies
per day, and that during the year
1882, the number Of copies printed
was 27,414,569.

a reporter for The Tribune yesterday.
"Is the practice injurious"
"Certainly. Nearly all the cigarette
smokers inhale the smoke, and this man
pointed out to you generally drew the
smoke to the deepest recess Of his lungs
and then blew it out. The smoke is loaded
with minute particles OF carbon, which
cause irritation and congestion of the ar
passages. Sooner or later the particles OIL
carbon will form deposits in theair cells,
which become sediments, and stimulate
disease"
"Have you many cases OF the kind you
have Just mentioned"
"Yes; too many. All my patients whose
ailment arises from excessive smoking do
not like to be convinced OF the fact and
seldom will believe ii. They do not think
they smoke much. II a man smokes cigar.

There Ia 80 mitch competition in the trade
that you can buy o package OF cigarettes for

kind, and naturally for the sake OF variety
people will change and smoke the new
brand until something is in the market
that supersedes it. a few standard brands
remain, and they are the most dangerous
because they contain opium. Women like
the latter kind best"
"Whst are the symptoms OF a case oil
consumption, or Coal Miners Phthisis,' az
you call it, caused by cigarette sssmoking2"
"The lowest state of pernicious influence
which occuIs through cigarette smOkingis
attained by the practice OF inhaling the
smoke largely into the lungs, where 1t
comes into immediate contact with the cir
c~ulation, and the toxic effect is so strongly
percsptible after three or four consecutive
lnhalatiors, and 80 felt by a sensitive per.
son to the very tips OF the fingers. The
effect can be recorded by the ~sphygomo-
graph. Such cases are, however, excep-
tionaI. The pulmonary inhalation consti-
tutes the CHIEF mischief Of cigarette smoking.
The safest and leas. injurious way oil smok.
ing a cigarette is with a mSuthpiece with
cotton or wool interposed."

in this country we are all kings,

good blood as that which courses
through the veins Of emperors.
There are princes and million
aires languishine in feebleness ana
broken. down bodily health who
would be glad TO have the strength
Of the humblest laboring man.
And there are many people who
are neither kings, empeTors, nor
millionaires, whose blood is thin,
whose circulation is poor, who are
suffering from lassitude and debility,
and who know not the pleasure ola
hearty meal, MOI the enjoyment Of
being able to do a good days work.
Ifsuch people will put some iron
into their blood, they will vitalize
and enrich it. They can do this by
the use Of Browns Iron Bitters, the
purest and most excellent iron med
icine ever made. Thousands who
were weak, languid, pale, and pros
trated, are now happy to say that
Browns Iron Bitters brought them
up and gave them new life.
