 While the Globe cannot be expected to know as to the reliability of all the state ments of it's advertisers, it will not willingly publish anything improper or that it does not have reason to believe is reliable Nor, on the other hand, is it in the habit of giving an editorial endorsement to patent medicines, but in the case of the Red Jacket Bitters, extensively advertised in this issue,i is prop CT to say that the proprietor of the medicine brought personal letter from gentleman occupying one of the highest official posi- tions in the State endorsing the merit of both the proprietor aud the goods.
 Elsewhere will be found an advertisement of the celebrated bitters and the testimonials of persons who have used them with good results The bitters are really meritorieus and we have no fear in recommending them. They can be procured at almost any drug store.

George WashingtOn's Nose.

lCMcagO lT1Duno.J
Judge Poland, representative in congress
from Vermont, is said to bear resemblance
to portraits of George Washington, and the
likeness is increased by his antiquated style
of dress. One day, according to Troy
Times correspondent, he was in the east
room of the White House with some friends
from Vermont. The room was made dim by
heavy curtains. A comfortable-lo looking
Quaker, with his wife and two children, en-
tered the further end in their sightseeing
rounds In corner near the judge stood
full-length picture-fram leaning against the
WALL "Get behind that frame," said one of
party, "and Well tell these people that it's
picture of Washington"
Tie judge stepped briskly into place.
Slowly the Quaker and his brood came down
the great room, he pointing out the pictures
on the wall. "What's that?" he demanded,
pointing toward the judge. "rhat's Wash
ington," he was answered. "Do not go near.
The painting is just finished and must not be
touched" The judge stood impassive in the
shadow, gazing pensively out on the group
halted dozen feet away. At length the
honest visitor found voice. Turning sorrow
fully to his wife he said: "Wife, we always
thought well of George Washington, but that
is all over. We are temperance people; just
look at that nose?" and he pointed toward the
most marked feature of Poland's face, gath
cred up his family, and sorrowfully marched
away. The Vermonters restrained themselves
for moment, then gave way, and only real
lied what they were doing by the judges
gruff words, "What are you fools laughing

Terrible Slaughter of Dudes.


A practical test of Joe Mulhattan's dude
annihilator was made at Macauley's theatre
last night AS usual, the dudes posted them
selves along the walls of the vestibule to
stare the audience out of countenance as they
emerged from the theatre. About that time
Eugene Ehod, the well-known fire plug,
placed small quantity of dynamite in the
annihilator and touched secret spring.
There was flash, a loud report, and the air
was filled with a mangled mass of dudes, who
were completely pulverized and floated off
into space beyond the earth's attraction
probably to form the tail of comet, OF
something of that Sort The test was ell
tirely satisfactory. Not a dude escaped. All
stood with their backs to the wall of the
vestibule and were annihilated. A balloon
will be sent out at once to discover if posi-
bic their remains, even in pulverized state,
and bring them back here for burial, but it is
feared the effort will be fruitless one. An
other test of the annihilator will be made at
Macauley's theatre this evening, and all
dudes in good and regular standing are in
yited to be present.

of their race, the 'Sassenach.' As their head

pomposity At the meeting following his
election he had sad mission to perform-to
announce the sudden demise of one of the
brotherhood Being desirous Of impressing
his audience with his oratorial pow
ers and intimate parliamentary knowledge,
he said: Gentlemen, it is my sad duty to an
nounce to yehs that Brother Welch was run
over and kilt by the Little Miami cars since
our last meeting. He was kind son, good
husband, worthy father. and in every re-
spect a number one man. Furthermore, he
was an active member of this association and
a straightforward Dimocrat; but that's
nayther here nor there. All we kin do is say
blessed is the will of the Lord, an all in favor

young people do not know what real, COM
Portable love is Never again can believe
that true love does not run smoothly. It is
the heyday passion Of youth that finds OBJ
structions in it's course, but the steady cur
rent Of Aunt Becky's love, as she sat there
hand in hand with Deacon Podson, flowed on
as grandly and serenely as q mighty river
out Of torrent time.
At last the darkness closed in upon them
and with Bobby fast asleep in his chair, had

and I doubt not that was my prevailing
reason for doing it,

@It's nigh on sixteen year now, replied the
deacon, with heavy sigh, which was echoed
by Aunt Becky.
"Sister Podson was such dear, good soul"
said Aunt Becky, softly, "it seemed pity we
couldn't a'kept her always But Gods will
be DONE"
ayes, Gods will be done" repeated Deacon
Podson, with another deep drawn sigh.

jealousy which shrivels the heartless compi-
ments of younger women under such condl-
tions.

Poets Progress.
TChicagO Tribune. I

Take the old ballads Of aay PEOPLE, and few
adiectives will be found. The singer says,
"He laughed; she wept." Perhaps the poet
of more advanced age might say, "He
aughed in scorn; she turned away and shed
tears Of disappointment" But nowadays
the ambitious young writer must produce
something like this: "a hard, fendish laugh,
scornful and pitiless, forced its passage from
his throat through the lips that curled in
mockery at her appeal; she covered her
despairing face, and gush and whirlwind
of sorrowing agony burst forth in her ir-
resistible tears"

A NOTABLE PROCESSION

OF Important and Unique 1ndivtdualo
IAN Occultation Of Intellect and
Philosophy.
Lillian Whitings Boston Letter.
We have had notable procession of inn
portant and rather unique individuals in
Boston during the past three months, figures
that are marked in contemporary history.
The first was Protap Chunder Mozoomdar,
the eloquent representative Of the new relig-
ious reforms in India known as the Brahmo
Somaj. Then followed Mgr. Capel, Matthew
Arnold, George w. Cable (whose readings
are an entirely original form of entertain
menN, Pere Hyacinthe. and Henry Irving.
Each of these men is in his way Of very
marked and unique type of individuality. In
creating them nature broke the mould or de-
stroyed the plate, and there are no replicas.
Each is distinctive, and, in different ways,
great. Babu Mozoomdar, with his message
of "the Oriental Christi" Capel, the astute
and polished prelate; Matthew Arnold, one
of the greatest critical forces in modern
letters; Pere Hyacinthe, modern Martin
Luther, an iconoclast and an enthusiast in
one: Henry Irving, central and unique
figure on the stage; Mr.. Gable, the greatest
original genius Of romance since Hawthorne
all these figures have, since September,
passed in procession across the social pano.
rama. It is an intellectual occutation, and
an event as important in the social world as
an occutation Of the heavenly bodies could be
to the world of science. The conjunction of
the appearance Of so many remarkable men
marks as memorable to Boston the autumn
Of 1885,
It is interesting to inquire what is the i'm
port of this occultation and what message
these men have to pring. That their COM
bined offerings are purely intellectual and
spiritual, rather than scientific and material,
is suggestive commentary on the age. 1t is
illumination rather than analysis that they
bring to the worlds problems. The trend of
the age, whether for good or for i'll, is dis
criminative and metaphysical. Old truths
are changed in appearance. Prolonged and
profound scientific study and the growth of
positive philosophy have produced spiritual
crisis. Truth returns, grown strong by its
denials, to assert itself as q new force There
is a demand for the seer, the Interpreter, and
one, too, who can present affirmations dra-
matically.

Daniel Webster's Disappointment.
rCor. Cincinnati Enuuirer,7

~AAASAAAA~eA
Daniel Webster, it is known, was poor. He
had the power to make money, but not to
keep it, for his house was as open as the day
to melting charity. His only son, a man Of
fine intellect and character, but like his par
ent, of but little wealth, asked of the Taylor
administration an Office, which no one
doubted he was competent to fill The re-
suit is told in the words Of Mr.. Webster to
one of his most intimate friends. The con-
versation occurred while Taylor was still
president:
eff I were to live my life over again with
my present experience, would, under no
circumstances and from no considerations,
allow myself to enter public life. The public
is ungrateful. The man who serves the pub
lie most faithfully receives no adequate re-
ward. I'm my own history thyse acts which
have been before God, the most disinterested
and the least stained by selfish considerations
have been precisely those for which have
been most freely abused. No, no, have moth
ing to do with politics. Sell your iron, eat
the bread of independence, support your
family with the rewards of honest toll, do
your duty as private citizen to your coun-
try, but let politics alone. 1t is hard life,
thankless life. Still know it has its compen-
sations. There are some green spots, occa-
sional cases, in the life of a public man; other
wise we could not live. The conviction that
the great mass of the intelligent and patriotic
citizens of your country approve Of well-di-
rected efforts to serve them is truly consoling.
That confidence on the part of my fellow
citizens think possess. have had in the
course of my official life which is not short
one, my full share Of ingratitude, but the un-
kindest cut of all, the shaft that has sunk the
deepest into my breast, has been the refusal
of this administration to grant my request for
an Office of small pecuniary consideration to
my only son."
He t. Strengthened himself up, and, with
conscious dignity, added:
II have not deserved such treatment. 7
have served my country too long and too as
siduously to receive such slight from this
administration. However, let us say no
more about it; the whole thing is too con-
temptible to claim from me moments

Daniel Webster's Memory.


Several weeks ago the late James Burns
told how, in 1886, Daniel Webster paid visit
to Detroit and was given reception by the
about 26 years DID," said Mr.. Burns, "and
had just risen to the distinction of being in
business for myself. For that reason, sup
pose, at all events I know no other cause, l
was invited to be privately introduced, with
a lot of other young business men, to Mr.
Webster.
s'Well, sir, went fully impressed with the
greatness of Mr.. Webster, and con-
fess, somewhat elated over the honor
thus accorded me- We all assembled in the
parlor, fifteen or twenty in number. Pres
emily Mr.. Webster entered the room,
and we were introduced. A social, general
chat of perhaps half an hour followed. Mr..
Webster talking all over the room and with
no one in particular, after which we took our
leave The remarkable feature which i'm
pressed me was the fact that Mr.. Webster,
who had met fifteen or eighteen ordinary
young men for the first time and that in a
general way, called us all by name and With
out hesitation OF mistake as we took our
leave"
"Ive heard that memory of names was one
of Daniel Webster's strong points"
"But the story isn't finished" said Mr.:
Burns. "Four years later I was in New
York, buying goods. I had not seen OF
hardly thought of Mr.. Webster in that time.
had just returned from Wall street to go
up Broadway, when I saw a magnificent
figure walking ahead Of me. Confident that
it was Mr.. Webster, quickened my pace,
passed him, and at the next corner stopped
to get fair look at him. I was not mis-
taken in the man, and I was immedia ately
filled with desire to speak to him, but I
was held back by the thought that he would
not remember young chap like myself. I
followed him block before I could make up
my mind to accost him. Everybody on
Broadway turned and looked admiringly at
him as he passed, and finally / thought it
would be in keeping with western character
to be little forward. So with elbow do
you do, Mr. Websters" I stepped to his side.
Turning slightly and half stopping in his
walk, he looked intently into my face an in
stant and said: why, how do you do, Mr.
Burns I'm glad to see you, SIR And so we
walked together up to the Astor house. l
actually believe he inquired after every man
he met at his Detroit reception, and that he
called each man by name as though they
were his intimate friends From that hour l
knew the value Of good memory, aud from
that hour began to cultivate my own"
