This is told by the Erie Dispatch
sin 1861 a young man named Silas
Mooney lived with his wife in log
cabin in forest in Concord township,
this county. When President Lincoln
issued a call for volunteers to defend
the eountry's flag, young Mooney con-
veyed his wife to his fathers home
in Franklin county, New York, where
be enlisted in the army. Two or three
months after SiIas departed for the
front his wife gave birth to little
daughter aud died in child-bcd.
Shortly after her death the news came
over the wires that the battle of Bull
Run had been fought and thousands
of lives sacrificed. Among the nun
Der reported missing was SiIas Mooney.
The Years rolled YEARLY on, but peace
was finally declared Silas was given
up as dead, and his little daughter was
adopted by her mothers sister, Mrs
Walters, who moved to Spring town
ship, in Crawford county, Pa, where
they now reside. The little girl grew
up to womanhood aud was highly edu-
Gated and accomplished. One stormy
day last week while sitting by the
Preside man knocked at The door
and inquired for the Walters. The
stranger proved 10 be Silas Mooney,
the Iong-lost father of Mrs. Walters
adopted daughter. The meeting be-
tween parent and cliId, who had never
seen each others faces before, NAV

Mr.. Mooney was taken prisoner by the
rebels and held in captivity for many
months before he made his escape,

had died and that he was alone in the
world. He returned to his COMPANY

Colonel lngersoll says he would
have given Moses better commandments
than those the great Hebrew received
on Mount Sinai. Well, now, it isn't
too late to sail in and beat Moses re-
cord as lawgiyer. The Colonel can
make his entry and start in any time
he wants to. He has told us so often
what he would have done if he had
been there, people are beginning to
feel little curious 10 see what he can
do now that he is here. This is a
good place and a good time to start.
A man Of Moses ability as leader
and q soldier aud lawgiver could not
fail To make a marked impression on
the world even in these busy days of

Red Sea, at Mount Siani, at Meribah,
In all the wilderness-in our minds /;

And with all onr superior advantages
that ought TO be a very simple thing,

Human life depends on air and wa
ter moro than anything else. AND
yet most Of our infectious diseases
reach us through ono or the other. Il
is gratifying, however, to know that
both, when pure, not only share with
food the great Office of DEMONSTRATING,
bnt are signally helpful in Graduating
disease, OF al the agents that neu-
tralize and destroy noxious impurity,
the oxygen Of the air is most import
ant. The following will indicate some
of the remedial uses of water:
A plunge in cold water-followed
By vigorous friction-or a copious
shower-bath in warm room, is one of
the best of stimulants and tonics.
Either kind OF bath, however, is nm
safe where there is low vitality, or
heart trouble.
0nr best physicians now admit that
the beat of fevers-a high teSlperatuIe
is their most dangerous quality-oan
be best controlled by the judicious
application of water TO the surface. 1t
net only greatly lessons their fatal
tendency, but hastens the cure.
In the case of mutilated limbs, the
inflammation and pain NAV be kept
loWn until the surgeons arrival BY
pluBging the part into water as hot as
can be borne. Indeed, in some cases,
a surgeon, instead Of amputating
badly crushed limb, has kept it in hot
water two or three days, and then
when the inflammation had subs ided,
picked ont the numerous fragments,
anG thus--and only thus-saved it.
Many internal or external pains can
be Iessened or relieved by hot water
applied by means of hot cloths, con

Various ailments of the stomach,
especially some hard forms of dispep-
ala, can be helped, and sometimes
cured, BY eopiously irrigating wash

ducts of disease-arc thus removed, |

Republican papers, taking counsel
Of their wishes, are predicting that
the Cleveland Administration will not
be acceptable to the aBenrbon" ele-
ment Of the party. They credit the
President7elect with being aTeformer,
although they bitterly denied him this
honor in the campaign; and they arc
certain hisreferm tendency will bring
him in conflict with the hungry mem
bers Of the party that elected him.
Even Mr.. Beecher, while believing the
new Presidents ..efforts at reform will
be sustained by the best elements of
both parties, thinks they will give
effense to office-seekers 10 his own"
1t is very easy to see what the Re
publican press means by the reform
it affects to attribute to Mr.. Cleveland;
1t is tenderness toward Republican
ofiee-holders Possibly Mr. Beeeher,
100, may have some such idea in his
head.
But 1t may be well to remember
that the PFesident-elect is Democrat,
and Was chosen gas a Democrat. His
election was a declaration that the
people had enough Of Republicanism
and wanted something else. His ad-
ministFation, shaped as ii ought TO be
by this popular decision, viii be dis
tinctly Democratic, gust as the admin
istrations for twenty-four years past
have been distinctly Republican. 1t
will give the country the change it
asks for. 1t viii take counsel with |
Democrats best men in the party |
NOT men who are part Republicans,
but men who are altogether Demo
Gratis 1t is 10 be hoped that the
stbetter clement in the Republican
party" will see its way clear To support
its policy; but, if by "the better Gle
ment IN the Repnblicanparty'' is meant
sucll partisans as Mr.. Eyarts, Mr. Sher-
man and Mr.. Edmunds, we do not be-
lieye Mr.. Cleveland will go one step
out Of the plain Democratic path to
secure it. a ... .
No doubt Mr.. Cleveland would
commend himself warmly to the Re-
publican press If he were to allow a
large body of Republicans TO remain
in office. But if this is the hope they
are building on they will probably be
rudely undeceived. Cleveland is a
reformer, indeed but he will prove it
in some better way than byretaining
large body of Republican barnacles
in position under Democratic admin
istratioD.

is the representation of an armed
desperate, with six-shooter in each

road and demanding of him his Mil

with his family to the neighborhood
church. Honest farmers all over
Texas ride to church in Milburn

picture, they will fight before giving
up such favorite farm vehicle. But
