About two years ago my wife had a
very troublesome cough, Of so serious 3
character that we all became very anxious
indeed, It seemed that we had but little tC
hope for, as the lungs were affected. We
tried various medicines, but very little 4
any benefit seemed to be derived from
any Of them; so that it appeared the dis
ease had complete mastery, and nothing
but death would bring relief. l was theT
advised to give DR.. d. Jaynes Expecto'
rant trial, and doing so, TO our surprise
found great benefit from It's use. Per
sisting with Il, she gradually commenced
improving, until the principal symptom
disappeared entirely, and she has enjoyed
reasonably good health ever since.-Johl

The Coming E1cursiOnIsts.

RRAAhNMNAh ANaaNAl "
Since the opening OF the road to
Memphis there has been a general de-
sire on the part Of the people to visit
the growing city at the south end Of
the line, and the public had been led
to understand that when the road was
completed an opportunity would be
given. The idea Of a free ride to
Memphis was very alluring and every
man, woman and child, regardless Of
previous or present condition, contem.
plated the trip with pleasure. Anon
the road was finished, and the com.
pany preserved painful and hateful
silence concerning the excursion. A
select few from this city would not
brook delays, but boarded the first
through passenger train and hied
them to the city Of the Memphi. II Z
adventures Of this select party surpass
the limits Of fiction, and soar into the
realms of divine afilation, to Ia
immortalized by the coming poet
Next came real excursion, but il
was for the nabobs and the people
groaned and the company grieved. Al
last plan has been agreed on which
will satisfy everybody. The company
announces that beginning December
18th excursion tickets will be sold a
half rates, good for ten dnys, whiel
will enable all who wish to view thu
wonderland between Springfield ant
Memphis an opportunity. The rount
trip ticket from Springfield is $40.

The Obsequies of the Late Peter Cooper at
New York Yesterday.
New YORK, April There is general
display of flags at half mast throughout
the city in honor of the memory of Peter
Cooper, whose funeral took place to-day.
The funeral was largely attended. AS the
hour for the services approached the crowd
increased. and additional police were sent
for. The police had no difficulty in pre-
serving order, for the mass of people were
well conducted. All the seats in the
church that were not reserved for the
family, friends and delegations were filed
at noon. and many secured standing room
in the rear of the church two hours before
the service began. Shortly after 3 O'Clock
the bells began telling and Rev. Dr..
Robert Collyer, Rev. DR.. Howard Crosby
and Rev. Thomas NJ. Peters took their
places in the pulpit. Cooper's family en-
tered and the services began With singing
81 heard voice. Rev. Mr. Peters read
q selection from scripture and the hymn
GIL praise ny Maker" was sung. The
eulogy was pronounced by Rev. DR.. Collyer
and was followed by brief address and
prayer by Rev. DR.. Crosby. The hymn,
'Guide me, O thou Great jehovah" was
sung, and the services concluded with the
benediction.
The remains were taken to Greenwood
cemetery. The bells of the city tolled as
the great procession moved to the ferry,
where it was dismissed. It seemed as though
the population of New York not in
the procession had gathered upon the side
walks and respectfully uncovered, as the
body was borne past. Only one carriage
containing the male members of Mr.
Cooper's family accompanied the body TO
the cemetery, where it was deposited IN a
vault, to be inferred the coming week.
Among those present at the services
were Gen. Hancock, Whitelaw Ried, VIM.
NJ. Evarts, S. L. M. Barlow, John Jay,
Senator John J. Keenan,, Albert Beerstaedt,
