The blood is the foundation Of

Of the body, and unless 1t is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.

the only sure and quick way to drive

These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its

all the iron preparations hitherto

Having lost three daughters by the

A Fathers Love for Dead Child.

East Hartford people have been for
months nursing a secret, or a. least
have not given publicity TO an occur
renee which seems to be almost with
gu. parallel. Some time before las;
Christmas Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar Brew
or lost beloved daughter, who was
16years of age. So attached was the
father to his daughter that he would
not permit her remains to be inter
red, and for all these months the
body has remained in their parlor.
a Hartford undertakes goes over to
the house of death daily and brings
his skill to bear in preserving the re
mains. Perhaps the strangest re.
mains to be told. Every night, af-
ter the midnight hour has been pro-
claimed by the clock, Mr.. Brewer
gets up, dresses himself and sits up
with the corpse the rest of the night.
He addresses the inanimate form
with words of endeaYoring affection,
and speaks as tenderly to it as though
his girl keard his words. When day
light creeps into the room the poor
man goes out and once again seeks
his bed and finishes his sleep.
These nightly vigils have been kept
up increasingly since the death of
the girl. The neighbors have tried
in vain to induce him to consent to
q burial. His wife has suffered
greatly from her husbands strange
conduct, but nothing that she could
say would induce him to part with
the body. But he has now at last
consented that vault be built in his
door yard, which by his express or.
ders is to be made easily accessible,
30 that he can still hold nightly com.
munication with the object of his
affection with the object of his at
tention. 1t appears that when the
girl was on her dying bed she ex-
pressed dread of being put into
the ground, and the father told her
she should not be. When the vault
is built the remains can be removed
and the dying girls wish respected
and the fathers promise kept. The
affection of parents for their children
is never known to its fullest extent
till death separates them, and only
those parents who have laid their
children in the silent grave can fully
sympathize with Mr.. Brewer, who
clings so fondly TO the poor, fading
earthly remains of his daughter.
But the irrevocable decree of "dust
to dust" cannot be escaped; and it
is best for the father, as we'll as for
the daughter, who is progressing in
the brighter, "better land" to bury
the mortal remains, that they may
60 back to the elements from which,
they originated, while the spirit lives
to welcome him at day not long in
the future Hartford Times.

A SINGULAR BREACH OF PROMISE
SUIr.-The New Haven (Conn. Reg
lister tells this story: Elizabeth Reas
is maiden lady of something over
40 years of age. Until within few
weeks she lived on her farm 10 Der
by. She employed John Gutb, of
Derby, to overseer her farm and in
general 'tend to things" About
two years ago Mr.. Curb was so en-,
amored of his place and its owner
that he offered 10 her his heart aud
hand. She expressed Willingness
to accept both. He was careful not
to appoint time for the sweet trans
fer. And so matters continued to
stand for some time. Mr.. Guith, Sc
cure of his love and his position,
made no further move in the matter
except, it is alleged, TO express his
appreciation of Mss Reas' patience
by administering of her sundry
kicks and blows whenever he felt out
Of bumor. Miss Reas bore this for
some time, but a couple of months
ago she struck out for freedom in a
way that struck CONSERVATION into
Mr.. Guth's heart. She sold her farm
moved TO New Haven. When Mr..
Guth recovered from the cruel blow
be demanded from her pay for his
services and the cost of she'd that
be had erected on the farm. Miss
Reas would have nothing to do with
her indignant lover. She refused
his offer of marriage. He now found
that he had been working for moth.
ing during the past two years and
had lost both his position and his
love. He considered that he had
been wrongfully treated. Therefore
he brought suit for breach of pro
mise, claiming $4,000 damages.

CLIPPINGS.

PUBLIC LANDS IN TIE FLORIDA
PAR1sHEs.--As is known to most Of
our readers, it is claimed by the Flor
lila parishes that they were not EN-
braced in the territory acquired from
France. They have an attorney who
is endeavoring to establish this
claim, and a Washington special to
the Times Democrat has this 10 say
of his action:
Mr.. West Slever as attorney for
the Florida parishes, is preparing
Two protests to file with the secretary
of the interior. In one of them he
will protest, On behalf of the Florida
parishes, against allowing the New
Orleans Pacific railway company, I'm
der its Backbone grant," or any
railway companRu under any grant,
locating land in any one of these par
ishes. These parishes claim all the
public land within their limits.
In the other, he will protest
against the department issuing any
more scrip or certificates to Loulsia-
ia under the John McEnery contract.
Mr.. Stever takes the position that
the land due the state under the &C,
of 1849 is due the state as trns ee,
and that neither the state nor the
government has any power to con
tract away any part of it for services
in recovering it. The state is sim
ply trustee, and must apply all Of
it to the object mentioned in the act,
viz: drainage and levees.
PRESIDENT Richardson having
invited bids for the location of the
proposed cotton exposition, the city
railroad company offered 100000
for its location at West End, but
Col. Saiter raised that bid to $3.50,
900 for Spanish Fort. He claims
that by dredging ample additional
ground can be made additional
for all the necessary buildings. He
says if the privilege was granted
him of course the buildings would
make the Spanish Fort even more
popular than it is now, if that were
possible. 1t would also attract PEG.
pie thither to build summer resideu-
ces along the lake shore. He would
also expect to have all the privileges
of the exposition, the booths, re-
freshment saloons, restaurants, ETC..
as that would be part OF the consid
Grafton Of the contract.

The Danger Attending Arsenic.

1t is necessary to raise warning cry
AGAINST q most mischieyous statement
which has recently been circulated and
has already done harm, to the effect
that "arsenic in small doses is good for
the complexion. 1t Is not difficult to

preserve or improve their good looks. )"
10 more ingenious device for recon-
n,ending q drug can be hit upon than
.hat which the authors OF this baneful
prescription of ''arsenic for the COM
plrxlon' have adopted. Suffice 1T to
ra.aIl the fact that for many years past
ahomists and sanitarians have been
10 boring to discover means of eliminat-
To- th,, arsenical salts from the coloring
matter of wall papers, and certain dyes

The Oaeis of OnargIa,

In the event of the construction of a
railway across the Sahara by the
French, the Oasis of Onargia will become
an important point. This oasis Is sit
uated IN large valley, which, accord
ing to tradition, was formerly vast
garden, and which even now contains
<our hundred and fifty thousand palm
trees. The geological formation around
Is the quaternary, while the depression
itself is alluvial quartz sand, containing
more or less gypsum and common salt.
These salts are favorable to the growth
OF the palm. but they are in excess in
the "Seokhas" (wetter porionss and
"schotts, or brackish lakes. The oasis
owes its fertility entirely to tine presence
OF a stratum of artesian water at an
average depth of thirty-fve metres.
The shells found in a more or less fos-
siiized condition in this region are
those which now live In fresh or brack-
ish water, with the exception of the
cookie, which is, however. abundant
near mou this of rivers. NJ. ROLAND
concludes that the quaternary deposits
ef the Sahara are those of vast brack-
oh sea or, lake having no communica.
ton with the Mediterranean.

New York Balls and Dinners.

1t was once laid down by high priestess
In the ats Of society that no good-natured
woman could give really good bail IN
any great city, and there is considerable
amount of truth in this. A gcod-natared
woman cannot turn a deaf ear to the
claims of old friends. Consequently, she
asks persons who contribute nothing to
the beauty of her rooms or to the social
attractiveness of the entertainment. Again,
she Is at the mercy Of those-their name
is leglon-who ask for invitations for
friends and are ever on the lookout to
make capital for themselves in the future
at other peoples expense, whereas II Is
