DEAR SIR: My son, lad of fifteen, editor of the
Go Ahead, amateur journal Of this city, has been
ut different times most severely, aud apparently
hopelessly. afflicted with Salt Rheum. When a
very small child his body was almost entirely
covered with this loathsome eruption IL mostly
passed away, however, after the teething period.
and he was not seriously troubled with i again UNI
til about one year ago, when the Salt Rheum irst
appeared on his hands between HIS fingers, then on
his limbs. then on his face and head in one solid
mass. His condition was terrible. The rash re-
sembled ivy poisoning and we at first fsnced it
might be something not so bad as his old troubles
but the physicians pronounced IL Salt Rheum, and
made every effort, without avail, TO cure it, We
tried preparation widely advertised as q specific
for skin diseases, but IL made about as much of an
impression as so much cold water might have done
You can understand the situation when say we
were in despair OF obtaining real help from any
source. '.'. To Y -. 'I.. ~

Rheum by IL, tried KENNEDY'S FAVORITE

Bribery in Politics.

IL is evident that the only effectual
remedy is the Improvement of public
sentiment and the enlightenment of the
public mind as to the evils that bribery
produces.
The improvement of public sentiment
on this subject must necessarily be a
work of time, and it cannot begin too
soon. We may say, indeed, that it hiss
already begun with the discussions of
this years canvass; but much more must
be done in order to produce the desired
effect on the public mind. 1t is espe-
cially incumbent on those who profess
to lead and counsel the people on polit-
ical subjects, whether in official station,
in the press, or elsewhere, to lead the
public Alright in this matter. By ex-
posing cases of bribery that may come
to their knowledge, by showing what
evils result from it, by denouncing it
especially in their own party, by setting
an example of perfect honesty in their
own public life, and, above all, by
scorning to use public station to advance
their own private and pecuniary inter
ests, they may do much to check the
abuse even now, and perhaps remove it
almost entirely at some future day.
The trouble is that men who would
not themselves descend to bribery are
criminally complaisant with regard to
the use of foul means, when these are to
advance their own interests and those of
their party. They are severe on the
subject of buying votes only when the
purchases are made in the interest of
the other side. The standard of politi.
cal morality is high as applied to can
didates whom they are trying to defeat |!

A Brave PriYateer.

The statue to Capt. Samuel G. Reid,
of the privateer General Armstrong.
which has been proposed for New
Orleans, recalls one of the most brilliant
defensive feats of the war of 1872, In
the neutral fort of Fayal he sustained
two attacks from the boats of a British
squadron and one from the British brig
Carnation before deserving his post.
The General Armstrong mounted nine
guns and ninety men, including officers.
The first attack, made in violation of
Portuguese neutrality, was at 8 D. m. of
moonlight night, from four barges
carrying about $50 men. At midnight
another attack was made with IA boats,
carrying 400 men, half of whom were
killed. At daylight the Carnation en-
gagged Capt. Reid, and had to withdraw
badly cut up. The latter then scuttled
his ship and went ashore, with loss of
two and seven wounded. Learning that
the British commander was claiming
his crew from the Portuguese Governor
of Fayal he took possession of an old
convent and dared the enemy to attack.
The connection with New Orleans con-
sists in the delay which this battle
caused to the combined fleets bound for
that city under Cochrane. Besides the
loss OF so many picked men and officers,
the repairs to the vessel took ten DAYS,
during which defenses were raised and
troops brought down the Mississippi.
The chance for coup was lost,

Knocked Out in Two Rounds.
ssI forgive Won. Hetty."

81 forgive you, Hetty."
Thomas Turnstile turned away with a
heart whose load of sorrow was almost
too great to be borne, and walked slowly
down the shady path which led to his
mothers humble cottage at the foot of
Huckleberry Hill. And why? Because
girl-a naughty beauty whose fathers
wealth had placed her far above Thomas
Turnstile in the social scale-had, after
Turing him on and on with all the arts
which women know so well and practice
so skilifully, haughtily refused the love
which he offered her. She had said the
cruel words that severed their lives for
ever softly enough, but on the beautiful
face that had for years haunted his
memory and been the beacon star of his
endeavor there was a cold, naughty,
rough-on rats expression. And yet,
despite this fact he loves her with a
mad, consuming. chloride -of-lime- on-an-
old-shirt passiors.hat was seorching his
very soul.
One year has passed. On all sides
one hears talk of the wonderful success
that has crowned the efforts of Thomas
Turnstile as a speculator. His daring
operation Of buying all the poker checks
in Chicago had made him millionaire,
and to none was this news of more inter-
est than Hetty Hallowheart, the proud
beauty of the Horse Fly Villa. Judge
of her surprise when one day there came
a note from Thomas Turnstile asking
permission to call on her. 1t was at
once given, and the evening of the fol-
lowing day appointed for the interview
At s o'clock a carriage rolled up to the
door. and Thomas Turnstile was ushered
into the parlor, where Hetty waited to
receive him. In the soft, mellow light
of the So per-thousand gas size looked
more radiantly beautiful than ever, and
there was tremulous tinge of admira-

low, mocking laugh he turns to go.

Turnstile sees two men, one lawyer
and the other stenographer, come from

The Confederate Battle Flag.

A Washington letter to the Cleveland
Leader says: [ saw Gen. Joe johnson
on the street to-day He is as straight
as an arrow, and the only sign of age is
seen in his silky gray hair, which flows
in silvery curls almost to his shoulders,
and in his full gray beard. Otherwise
he might pass for young man. His
dignifed step is firm, his eyes bright,
and his health apparently perfect. He
is now II and he does not look over go.
He lives on Connecticut-avenue, one of
the swell streets of the capital, and is, I
suppose, in comfortable circumstances.
l called upon him to ask him about the
origin of the Confederate battle flag
now over year ago. He told me then
that it was only partially his design.
Said he: cat the battle of Manassas
you Northerners call it Bull Run-the
Star and Bars proved failure because
they were so much like the Union colors.
Indeed, both armies mistook their enc
mics for their friends, and vice versa.
After the battle resolved to discard this
flag and called for each regiment to pro-
cure its State colors. This they were not
able to do, and asked the army for new
designs. Among those presented, one
by General Beauregard was chosen, and
altered this only in making it square
instead of oblong. This flag YVES after
ward adopted by tine Confederate armies
generally. 1t was Greek cross of blue
on a red field with white stars on the
blue bars" This flag was designed by
Col. Walton, of Louisiana, and by him
presented to Gen Beauregard.

Heathenism in Chicago.

How can a man who earns 81 day
pay Sc month rent, clothe, feed and
care for a sick wife and six little chill
dren?
We hate to see horse pull until he
falls under the whip. What about a
man Juggling at such load, year in and
year out, with no one to lend hand?
But the women-the curse always
falls most heavily upon them.
On the South Side the other day a
woman was found on the floor beside
her sewing machine in a fainting fit.
She had been trying to finish a job of
twenty-six cloaks, for the making of
which she was to receive S26-$1 a
cloak. A poor neighbor helped to bring
her to and get her upon the bed, and
then finished the cloaks for her.
Did the sick woman get her S26 to pay
her and buy food, for lack of which her
strength had given awayP Not one
cent of If. The firm refused to pay her
anything, because the finishing was not
done by herself. The Lord have mercy
upon them
Said the visitor: 81 never saw a
human being SO full of bitterness as
was that poor sewing woman" AT last
she gave a great lurch of soul to get out
of the trough of the sea and save her
little craft from going straight to the
bottom. "Well," she gasped, "God
lives, and He is iust-and He cares
even for me"

SympathizIng With Vanderbilt.

Says Bill Nye II learn with much
sadness that Mr.. William Ell. Wander
bits once princely fortune has shriveled
down to $3.50, 100000. This piece of in
formation comes to me ike a clap of
thunder out of q clear sky. Once petted
and caressed, William Ell. Vanderbilt,
shorn of his wealth, and resting upon
no foundation but his sterling integrity,
must struggle along with the rest of US.
4 In conclusion, 1 do not know what
to say, unless it be to appeal to the
newspaper men of the country in Mr..
Vanderbilt's behalf. While he was
wealthy he was proud and arrogant. He
said: Let the newspapers be blanked,"
or words to that effect, but we do not
care for that. Let us forget all that and
remember that his sad fate may some
day be our own. In our affluence let us
not lose sight of the fact that Van is suf-
fering. Let us prepare place for him
on some good paper. His grammar and
spelling are little bit rickety, but he
could begin as ianitor and gradually
work his way up. Parties having cloth
ing or funds which they feel like giving
may forward the same to me at Hudson,
Wis, postpaid, and if the clothes do not
tit Van they may possibly fit me.

A Girl Nihilist.
HOW MARIA KALOoJNY WAS TRAINED TC
THE WORK OF MURDER,

The girl, Maria Kaloojny, writes a
Russian correspondent, who so daringly
attempted the murder of the chief of the
Odessa police the other day, seems to
have been closely associated with, ifshe
does not herself belong to, the inner
circles of the nihilist conspiracy. Her
brother was accused in 1879, when he
was midshipman in the Black Sea
feet, of having supplied dynamite to the
men who attempted to assassinate the
late emperor by explosions at Odessa
and on the railway near Alexandroff, and
he was convicted and sent to Siberia.
He escaped th-nce, but only to be cap
tured again by the late Colonel Soudai-
kin Mt nihlist dynamite depot. He
was then sentenced to death, but his

They come around about once in so
often to buy or sell. They'll give me,
say S25 for the boss. Then they'll take
him to New York, send him out to pas
ture few weeks, give him the best of
stable care, and then sell him for $50 to
some farmer who never bought of them
before, and who believes these fellows
don't keep nothing but fine animals.
The farmer'll take him to his ranch up
country few miles. The circus fellers
keep an eye on him, and in few weeks
DIR. Farmer finds he's lost his boss. The
critter is agin in the circus stables. His
spots are changed leetie by clippin'.
and usin' of some kind O. stuff they have,
and then he's sold agin for $50. Once
more he turns up in the circus stables
Sometimes they make over $500 on one
poor old boss.

left. Now, last year l had boss that
had the blind staggers or suthin', and
wasn't with his oats. Wal, twas all I
could do to git him to New York on the

as kitten. Then he stopped little,

stopped little and trembled, and

A Queer COaSting-Place

Cuzco, the ancient capital of the old
Inca Empire of Peru, is situated high
up among the Andes, at point so ele-
waited that, although under the tropics,
it has the climate and products of the
temperate zone. 1t still has many re-
mains of Inca architecture, distinguished
for its massiveness, which are likely to
endure for centuries to come. On hill.
or eminence, nearly a thousand feet
high, overlooking the city, are the re-
mains of the great Inca fortress of the
Sac -hua-man, in the storming of
which Juan Pizarro, the brother of the
conqueror of Peru was slain. This
fortress was built of gigantic stones, or
rather rocks, and their great size and the
accuracy with which they are fitted
together astonish all who see them.
In front of this fortress is a curious,
dome-shaped mass of rock, called the
Ro-d a-dero, and sometimes also La
Piedra Lisa, or ''smooth rock" because
its convex surface is grooved, as if the
rock had been squeezed up, while in a
plastic state, between irregular and I'M
yielding walls, and then hardened into
shape. A mass of dough, forced up IN
der the outspread hands, would give
something of the same appearance in
miniature. But the hollows of the
grooves on the Peruvian hill are smooth
and CLASSY. 1t is said in the old chroni-
Giles and traditions, that the Inca youth,
long years ago, amused themselves by
coursing, or sliding, through the polished
grooves on festival days and holy-days;
and this custom is still practiced by the
modern youth of Cuzco.
There is one advantage, and it is
great one, too, which these boys possess
over the northern boys, who live in the
land of ice and snow, and that is, it is
not necessary for them to toll up long
and slippery hill, dragging after them
their heavy sleds, which grow heavier
with every step they take, SO that the
longer they ride the harder work it is to
get back to the starting-place. TIE
Cuzco boy sits down at the top of the hill
in one of the grooves, and, with slight
start, away he goes with all the speed
imaginable, until he reaches the bottom.
