Got Him."

[Anecdote from recent lecture By Chauncey VI. De-
pew.l
In St Paul's cathedral (London) rests the
sarcophagus which contains the remains of
the Duke of Wellington. 1 asked the guide
there if ne remembered Bob" Ingersoll.
He said that he did, and that Mr.. Ingersoll
was a great man. When bob" was there
not long before the guide said to him, Sir
this is holy ground" why SOP" asked
Bob" not feeling at home (Laughter.)
Because, said the guide, that is the mon
ument of the Duke" "What Duke p said
Bob "Ail the dukes are my intimate
friends" "The great Duke-the Ir-ron
Duke, replied the unsulpecting guide "the
Duke of Wellington. We placed his body in
an ir-ron coffin aud around that We moulded
seven lead cofiins, and we placed them in that
block of gray granite which weighs thirty
tons, and upon that we placed that 9th
err block which weighs twenty
tons" Bob gave the guide whack on
the back that sent him halfway across the
room and shouted odd man, you've got
him II he ever gets away, cable at my ex-
pense to r. G. Ingersoil, Peoria, Ill. 3"
Laughter and applause.)

An examination of the younger children of
the public schools of Boston, made by DR..
Stanley Hall, showed thatls per cent. of the
number had no knowledge of a COW, further
than that gained from pictures 81 per cent
of those examined had never seen an ant ;
Go per cent. had never seen corn growing; 30
per cent did not know whore their ribs were
nor exactly what they were while only per
cent, were ignorant of tie location of their
stomaohs. Some of the children stated that
-four came from the grocer, who gets it di-
rectly from God others said that meat is
dug from the ground or picked up from the
meat tree, From these facts DR.. Hall de-
duced two other faots-tbat a gross ignor-
anoe of practical things may exist side by
side with q very thorough book knowledge
and that some modification of the kindergar-
ten method is necessary in the instruction of
the young.

A most remarkable electrical phenomenon
manifested itself on the line of the Union
Pacific railway, last Sunday, between North
Platte and Sidney. The influence, however,
was felt peroeptibly beyond those points The
rails were surcharged with a current of cleo
tricity, moving from west to east, to so high
a degree that hand.cars, standing on the
track, were impelled at fair rate of speed
by it. One hand-car at Brule got away from
the section men next east. The influence of
the current was felt by many persons along
the track, and no little excitement prevailed
during its continuance. omaha Herald

of every ten in England were probably guo.
rant of the meaning Of "ensilage" until the
Times gave description of it last October.
Yet ensilage is so familiar to Americans that
no less than five different manufacturers ad-

THE WONDER

Is becoming universal as to how such an inn
mense sale could be created in Lowell for
HOODS SARsAPABILLA. But, my friend, II
you could stand behind our counter week
and hear what those say who are using it,
the reason would appear as clear as the
MONDAY sun. The real curative power of
HOODS SARsAPARILLA demonstrates itself
in every case where our directions are faith
fully regarded. We would that We might
get before the people fractional part oft
confidence that is expressed TO us every day
in this medicine by those who have carefully
noted without prejudice its effects upon tho
blood and through that upon the whole sys-
tenn, stimulating all the functions Of the
body to perform the duties nature requires
Of them. Try bottle and satisfy yourself.

Cold Hands and Feet.

LOWELL, Fed. 3, 1873.
MEssRs. c. l. HOOD & Co.: Gentlemen
About one year ago my daughter commenced
taking your SarSaparllla. AT that time she
had very little appetite; could take no long
walks, and ner lace was badly broken out
with ahumor. She was lOw-spiritedi troubled
with cold hands and ieeti her blood seemed
to be poor, and she was In a condition which
caused us great anxiety. After taking one
bottle Of your Sarsaparilla she began TO inl-
prove; and she now has a good appetite and
can take much longer walks. Her humOr is
nothing compared with what II was one year
ago. She is in better spirits, is not troubled
with cold hands and feet as previously And
! attribute this improvement in her condl-
ton largely to your Sarsaparllla. She has
taken six bottles and intends to continue its
use, was inclined to oppose the trial of it
at hrst ] now have great faith in 1t as
blood purifier. Very truly yours,

The Fargo, Grand Forks and Penn
bina Railroad.


bina Railroad.
The Fargo, Grand Forks and Pelnbina
railroad is not yet built, but
the number is very rapidly ,incrcas-
ing who believe that the scheme has in it
the elements Of certain success. We
quote from the Grand Forks Herald Il
statement of the situation which will BE-
of interest to our readers. The Herald
says:
From what was considered by MANY a
merely spasmodic effort at paper railroad
agitation in behalf Of the Fargo, Grand
Forks and Pcmbina road, has been de-
veloped a substantial and we'll backed rail
road scheme Of gigantic proportions, of
which the above named road is to be a
link only, in system reaching half facrofs
America and having for it's ultimate aim
rivalry of tie trans continental Canadian
Pacific. Thus the most sanguine expecta-
tions of the promoters of the road have
been more than realized. The necessity
for tile construction of the road to the
people of the Red River Valley has ncv-
er been questioned. The advantages
which would accrue thereby to the job
bers and manufacturers Of Chicago and
the east by the opening of thousands of
miles Of additional tributary territory is
equally patent and undisputed. That
the road would pay from the start as
never been doubted for Il moment, The
only real question, the settlement of
which was to determine whether the road
would be constructed or not, is that O.;
backing. This, it appears, is as good us
settled, though no official utterance on
the subject has been made public; and
this highly satisfactory outcome was due
to the desire of tho Grand Trunk maj
agement to invade what the Canadian
Pacific deems it's exclusive territory.
The Grand Trunk is the great control
ling railroad power of Canada, as the
Canadian Pacific is of Manitoba. AL.
though hundreds of miles apart and
apparently not in each others fields, YET
they look uron each other us rivals. II
is well known that the Canadian Pa
citic is seeking an outlet OH the Atlanti.

an ambition to become great trans
