AN OLD STORY,
But None the Less Worth Reading Than It
Was Generations Ago.

But None the Less Worth Reading Than It
Was Generations Ago.
Corwin and number of his Wing
friends were going from one place to
another, and were discussing the situa-
ton and laughing over the prospects of
Shannon's defeat. when Mrs. Shannon,
whom none of them knew. entered the
stage at one of the minor stations. She
listened to their talk for few mo-
ments and then give them to under
stand that she did not think as they did;
that she was the wife of Governor Shan
non, and that there was no doubt of his
election. This abashed the several gen.
tlemen for moment. but Corwin at
once recovered himself and soon began
conversing with Mrs. Shannon. He was
an accomplished conversationalist, and
in short time she thought the dark
gentleman with whom she was talking
was one of the most polite gentlemen
sic had ever met He tole her he
knew her husband well and talked az
length about him, skillfully parrying all
questions which might lead to his giving
her any idea of his own identity. They
finally got to laughing over the cam
paign, and Mrs. Shannon remarked
that it was not possible that such
man as her husband could be beaten
by fellow like Tom Corwin, who,
hey say, was only q wagon boy when
young.
Eyes" said Corwin, ..and who goes
round the country speaking from a log

And continued Mrs. Shannon,
''who is as black as the ace of spades"
Eyes" returned Corwin, ''as black as
as black as l am
So the conversation went on while
Tom Corwin complimented her in vari-
Gus ways, taking her baby, which she
had with her, in his arms and dandling
it and calling it ''the young Governor. :"
When they reached Columbus Mr.. Cor
win carried the baby into the hotel for
her, and as he laid it down said MRS.

to introduce myself to you as Tom Cor

History tells how well Corwln sue
ceeded in verifying his prophecy-how
he was elected Governor in 1910, and
how, five years later, he was sent to the
United States Senate, which lie lett to
accept the portfolio of the Treasury.
During the time he served as Secretary
of the Treasury he entertained hare in

Of his life he was poor and died bank

BIunders Of the Telegraphers.

Many biunders occur in the trans
mission Of telegraph messages. The
mistakes, as a rule, occur with the
operator who receives the message, and
it is generally on a busy wire over which
two or three hundred messages are
received daily. The wires between this
city and New York do the heaviest work.

Two Poisons.

The Progress Medical describes two
new Oriental poisons, both of which
cause death y arresting the hearts
action. One of them comes from
Borneo, and is an arrow poison. Almost
all that scientists yet know of it lies in
the number of unfortunate dogs they
have destroyed suddenly with it. OF the
other poison it is stated that an animal
of medium size, wounded with an arrow
whose point has been imbued with it,
would make one bound and then fall
back dead. Even an elephant will sue
cumb to its effects after running half a
mile or SO. The composition of the
poison is not yet known, as it is kept
secret by the Mois, from whom a
specimen was obtained by subterfuge.
The substance is said to be innocuous
when taken into the stomach.

DE opened IN New Orleans on the LIST.
OF December next, and continued un-
til May 3lst following; and desires
that such publications shall be credi-
table to the State.
Inc Intention Is to publish at least
$4,000 copies of pamphlet of not less
than 100 pages, printed in clear type
Oh good paper, with handsomely ILL
animated covers. Its contents will be:
FIRST, u description of the state. at
large illustrated with appropriate en-
cravings. Second, detailed descrip-
lions OF the six sections into which the
State is naturally divided by its drain
age systems. Third, its railway sys-
TENS and navigable waters, including
the connections of local railways with
those outside of the State, and the
great water ways affording it direct
communication with the principal
markets of the world. Fourth its
lakes and other pleasure resorts and
objects of interest to sportsmen and

In the second division it is proposed
to incorporate descriptions of all the
larger cities and villages, with ac-
counts of their respective populations,
manufactures, churches, educational
institutions, resources, tributary ter
ritories, transportation facilities, ETC.,
and to illustrate these with such en-
cravings as the citizens of each may
respectively desire. A colored map
of the state will accompany each
In short, the purpose is to
equal, and if practicable, to surpass in
all respects the pamphlets now In
course of preparation for that occasion
by other States.
AS the appropriation made for the
use of this Boord by the Legislature
in 1881 is so far expended that the bal
ance on hand is inadequate to meet
more than share of the expense of
The proposed work, the people of the
cities and villages who desire to call
attention to the adyan-
ages their respective localities possess
ire appealed to, for aid in the produc-
ion of q work in all respects COM
with the Importance of the
occasion on which it is to be used, and
he beneficial influence it is designed
o exert. Moreover, that the burden
nay not be unequally imposed, it is
determined todivide the expense pro-
to the space occupied, by ]
king a price of fifty dollars per page,
esides the cost of engravings.
j. H. Hanson will call upon Morris
eople soon and give them an oppor-
unity to aid in the preparation of the

lost valuable advertisement for the

A Human Being in Solution.

A great chemist being asked to give
a defination of the Blood, answered,
IA Human being in solution" There
is world of meaning in that answe r.
1t means that every bone nerve and
tissue of the human body developed
and nourished by the blood, and hence
the healthy or unhealthy condition OF
that body depends on the purity or
impurity of the blood. While the
blood may be regarded as the well
spring of life, it is equally true that
it may also become the source of dis
ease and death. What causes impure
blood? Physiology tells us that the
tissues of the human economy are
constantly undergoing change,
new tissues are constantly be-
ing formed and the old tissues are
carried off through the blood. This
old muscle, bone, etc has become re-
fuse matter and is thrown through
the pores Of the skin, through the
Lungs, the Urinary organs and
through the bowels. The impurities
are secreted from the blood by the
Liver, Kidneys and Skin, hence if
these organs fail to properly secrete
the impurities the old tissues, which
have performed their functions and
become refuse matter, remain in the
blood and generate a poison that
creates disease. You may ask "How
shall we avert this? The course is
plain. You have been shown the
causes. Now remove the causes and
pure blood is the natural result.
"How is this to be done? Wash,
battle and rub the skin with course
towel so that it's pores will become
open and let the impurities escape.
Next, compel the Liver to strain these
impurities from the blood as it's courses
through this great gland. Correct the
condition of the Kidneys so that they
will seorete from the blood their share
of impur1ty and make it pass from the
system through the Urine; when you
have done this. the Lungs by reason
of their not having been over-worked
will be able to perform their share OF
this great renovatiinag process, and the
human frame will resume its upright
and beautiful form as the God Of nat
ure made it.

phe fact that the Browns Valley

The fact that the Browns Valley
clique has boited Wells and Orion, the
Republican nominees, makes it doub'
ly sure that Traverse county will give
II rousing majority for the straight
| ticket. This is not surprising when
the facts are know. The people OF
Traverse county are rs rule loyal TO
their party and are not to be dictated
to as to whom they shall support.
Notwithstanding this, the Browns
Valley Reporter would lead us to be-
lieve its editor to be omnipotent in
politics throughout that county ana
that 1t is only necessary for him to
hoist his ticket and shout Harris and
Jackson in order to carry the county
for these gentlemen. In this, how
ever, we fear Frasier is calculating
without his host. Those important
reasons are yet to be made known to
the people Of Traverse county, but we
are convinced that when the true is
sues are raised, Fraiser dare not pro-
claim them. He will find that the
Browns Valley clique, and Frasier
in particular, cut but a small figure in
Traverse county politics. Now Mr..
Frasier, come out, if you have the
courage, and retrieve yourself, in part,
in the eyes ofthe public by proclaim
ing the true reason for your flop, viz:
That the Browns Valley clique recog-
nize the fact the Republican nominees
are men who willnot lend their support
to further any schemes certain Brown
have concocted, for the pur-
pose of advancing their own interests,
as against the rights of the people of
the county at large. In other words
the issue is Browns Valley against the
rest of Traverse county. Do you tum-
