From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Joseph Kashinsky, one of the guards
over the remains Of the late President
in Lake View Cemetery, has shown un-
mistak"ble signs OF insanity, and was
sent to Detroit Yesterday. 1t Is said
that he and two soldiers before him have
hecome I" tfscted" bv their somber sur
roundings. The fact is that men doa'l
enlist to be cooped Up in cemetery and
that, their surroundings being rather
monotonous, they celebrate each visi,
to the CITY with a drunk. The guard is
so small in numbers that proper relief
and relaxation is not given the men. II
it is the intention Of the government to
keep guard here until the interment oi
toe remains of the late J A. Ca Fl Id, q
two company post should be established

have used HOOPS SARsAPARILLA for de-
bility, languor, lassitude, and that general
feeling Of stupidity, WEAKNESS and exhaus'

we should be able to present to our readers
such an overwhelming mass of commend
atory messages, that the few who have not
tried 1t would do so at once. 1t is a positive
fact. and has been so effectually demon
strated that no one to-day denies 1t, that
Hoods Sarsaparilla contains more real med
