The Boy with the Bouquet.

A sharp lad of fourteen started out
two or three weeks ago with two
shilling bouquet in his hand and rang

widow. AS she came to the door he
asked: a Ell

1t was a fifty cent piece and it so
encouraged the lad that he began to
buy bouquets at Wholesale rates, and
to hunt the city directly for the names
of widows. He played the game right
along until some of them gave him
away to the police and an officer over
hauled him and remarked:

The Story OF General Hancock.

The presence of General Hancock in
town during the week revives many
"reminiscences of the gallant soldier,
says Philadelphia Press gossiper.
He always had quality of being a lit
tie ahead rather than behind in the
execution of his orders, and the result
was that his command had a great
deal of hard work to do. From
Spottsylvania to City Point it bore the
brunt of the battle, and when, after
Cold Harbor, Grant determined to
change his position to the south side of
the James river, the Second corps was
torn and shattered almost out of form.
With what men was left, Hancock
withdrew from his hazardous position
at Cold Harbor and marched south
ward. He was in a serious frame of
mind and nearly heart-broken at the
condition of his command. He reached
the river in advance, and, as he was
standing upon its bank, q staff officer
from headquarters rode up, saluted,
and said:
General, where is your corpsp'
Hancock looked up, and, with the
deepest regret in his tones, said: 1T
is buried between the Rapidan and the
James,"

Blankets Made of Cow Hair.

"Have you any cow hair to sellP" a
wandering buyer asked u tanner in the
presence of a reporter for the New
York Mail and Cypress, few days
ago. The tanner did have some of the
curious commodity asked for. and SUBJ
mitted it to the would-be buyers
scrutiny. The latter critically ex-
amined the lot and offered the owner 4
cents q pound for it.
Wondering what use COW hair could
be put to. the reporter sought to salts
fly his curiosity by questioning the
buyer. "What do l do with itp" re-
piled the individual. "Tll tell you. I
first blow the hair by a peculiar
process which separates the long hairs
from tho short ones. The long hairs
are then woven into fabrics with other
material which, upon completion. be-
comes the genuine all-wool blankets
which Uncle Sam presents to the In
dams"
"And the shorter hairsp"
"They are worked into felting."
'.Do you ever pay more than cents
n pound for the hairp"
"Oh, yes. White cows hair is worth
II cents pound"

The Lansing Telegram one day
last week presented to the voters of
Michigan the name of Capt. Edward
Cahill, of that city, for Attorney

The National Tribune, the organ
Of the G.. A. R., and one of the ablest
edited of the papers devoted to build
ing up the interests of the Boys in
Blue; and published at Washington,
in its issue of July 18th, stated that
Stephen Grover Cleveland, as Mayor
of Buffalo, vetoed an appropriation
made by the Common Council, ap-
propriating $500, to pay the expense
of a proper observance of Decora-
ton day. This item was shown one
of the Veterans in Owosso, who not
crediting the statement, wrote to a
friend in Buffalo, and on Saturday re-
ceived letter stating that the state
ment was true, "that Cleveland did
veto such resolution, to the infinite
disgust of the soldiers of Buffalo,"
With this fact staring them in the
face, as indicative of his hostility to
the patriots of 1S6I-5, to whose gal
lantry we owe the existence of a
country to preside over, for which he
could be nominated, is it to be won
dered at, that the boys who wore the
blue don't propose to give their vote
to man so devoid of National pa
triotism, that he will not permit the
expenses to be paid as grateful
people drop on the graves OF those
who died that the country might
live, a floral tribute of gratitude.

Nervousness in Women.

One cause of the extreme nervous
ness of American women is living too
much in the darkness when indoors,
says the Herald of Health. The rooms
are kept dark to save the carpets and
keep out the flies, and as consequences
both the house and the occupants lack
the benefits of fresh air and sunshine.
Houses from which the sun is excluded
are not wholesome. There is always .
damp, depressing condition in them
that makes itself evident at once to q
sensitive temperament The minds
and bodies of all who live in such
houses are affected by 1t. Both health
and spirits are depressed. Their occu-
pants have not only the depressing eff
feet of the lack of light and sun to
contend against, but the reaction con-
sequent upon living in unwholesomc
conditions. All the rooms in the house
should have both light and sunshine
freely admitted at all times, whether
they are in daily use or not. They are
thus keep sweet and are in good con-
dition when they are wanted.
Nelson Sizer once said, when max
ing a chronological examination; "Be
as much as possible in the sunshine.
People who live in dark rooms and
wear black are pale all through" You
cannot have too much of light either
in your lives or in your houses, for
good health. You may live; but it is
not all of life to live. Merely to exist
is but small part of our work in this
world. We should SO live that body
and mind are ut all times in their best
condition. We are then ready and able
to do whatever duty may be required
of us In such a way that the doing
merely shall be pleasurable. and the
reaction on ourselves and others bene-
fetal. 1t should be, in fact, the relig-
ious duty of every one to SO live.
Many a woman and child have been
sacrificed to save the carpets and keep
out the flies. Many fit of illness has
resulted from the same cause. Many
disappointed, cherries life can be
traced back to sunless rooms as o be-
ginning. Multitudes of women and
children are only half living to-day be-
cause only half-fed. Sunshine and
light and air are as much food for body
and soul as the fruits and grains and
vegetables that we take into our stom-
achs; and we can not get a surfeit of
them as food. The more va have the
better.

The Utica, New York, Herald, one
of the leading Democratic papers in
the Empire state, speaking of Cleve-
land says: "The candidate who is to
be preferred to all others, is not the
statesman trained in National affairs,
nor the soldier who has taken his
own life in his own hands to protect
the Constitution and the laws, nor
the trained and distinguished jurist.

Dick Oglesby, the nominee of the
SO called Republican party, is already
practically out of the race. His

range of possibilities, certainly not
within the range of probabilities. "

The following is copy of a letter
written TO the President of the Con

bellion by Mrs. Sarah Post, then a
resident of the Lyell Road, a short
distance west of this city. Her hus
band was killed in the navy. Mrs.
Posts death occurred in 1868, when
she was seventy nine years of age.
She was buried in Brockport, and
was full of patriotism and love for the
Union to the last.
