An Old storm Theory,

A st. Johnsbury correspondent of the
Jonrhdt relates an instance which happened
in Vermont in 1887, in which a big storm
was predicted, and the Theory on which the
representations were based" Judge Buck
ley resided in Berlin, Just across the river
from Montpelier One member ofthe Judges
family was son named Frank, who was
half-w tilted fellow, aud queer in many ways
In the Summer Of 1887 some friends from
\ ork State came TO visit the Judge and after
q stop OF few days started on Saturday on
their way home, intending to stop over Sun
day with friends few miles down the river
Frank heard their plans talked over and then
SAID You better not start there is going
TO be big storm that will carry all the
bridges away, and YOU will have to come
back"
The sky being cloudless the gentlemen
laughed and drove off. In the afternoon the
storm began and all that Frank predicted
came true. One of the gentlemen's curiosi-
tY was SO excited that he returned after the
storm to learn from Frank, if possible, how
he knew there was to be such storm. After
much coaxing Frank promised if he would
come out with him he would tell
Going out few rods from the house SO a
view could be had Frank In his drawing

An international Question


1t is very evident that our Madagascar
nelghbors are no, well acquainted with the
history OF our unlry. On Thursday after
noon while staining at the tomb of Wash
irgton, at Mount Vernon, the venerable Sec.
rotary Frclinghuyscn was bending low, ap.
parcntly in deep study, when one of the
ENJOYS turned to the interpreter and asked
what troubled the secretary. The interpret
er explained that ii was customary in the
United States 70: great men to weep when
in the presence of departed greatness and
that Secretary Frelinghuy sen was, no doubt,
thinking Of the .valorous deeds of the great
Washington, aud it made him sad.
"Who was this Washington ?" asked the
envoy
The Interpreter briefly stated that Gen.
Washington was Que of the first to take up
arms in defence OF the colonies, and that he
was the first president of the United States,
and was revercntially called the Father of
his country.
The envoy in a few minutes walked over
to where Mr.. Frelinghuyscn stood, and
looking up into his sad face, said in sor.
rowfu tone: "Old man, why wasn't you
the father of your country: Amt you old
enough 2"
When this little speech was translated to
the secretary, he walked off, and did not
during the rest of the day appear friendly
with the lnqulsilive envoy.

The First ExPressnlan.
From the Boston Trayeller.l

Who was the first expressman General
Butler says William G. Craig carried on an
express business between New York and
Boston as early as 1886, and now it is re-
ported that Deacon Eliphalet Adams, of
Cabot, w., started an express from Mont
peller to Danville, by which any packages
were carried and errands performed len
years earlier 1t is probable that many years
earlier than even that the carriers of the
mails in New England carried packages and
delivered messages between towns along
their routes. That was the shrub era of the
business; the tree period seems to have been
ushered in by Harnden.

The blood is the foundation Of
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Browns IRON BITTERSwill thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part of the system, and it will
not blacken the teeth, cause head
