Father, Mother, and Three Sisters Dead

etAc1, A1coAoA, AKA 4AAeo oAStcIa OeaOs
Mr.. David Ciaypco], formerly Sergeant
alarms ofthe New Jersey Senate, and now
Notary Public at Cedarville, Cumberland
Co., N. j., makes The following startling
statement: only father, mother, and three
sisters all died it'll consumption, and my
lungs were 50 weak raised blood. Nobody
thought I could live. My work (sl,ip-
sniithing was very straining On me with my
weak constitution, and was rapidly going
to the grave While in this condition /
commenced using Mishlers Herb Bitters,
and it saved my life. Because it was SO
difficult to get it IN this little place. and l
had improved so much, stopped taking it
for a time, and the result is that / have
commenced going rapidly down hill again.
Somehow, Mishler's Herb Bitters gives
appetite and strengthens and builds me up
as nothing else does, and I must have a
dozen bottles at once. Use this commu-
nication as you please, and if any one wants
to be convinced Of its truth, let them write
nc and l will make affidavit to it, for
owe my life to M;shler's Herb Bitters.'
Thesecret of the almost invariablc renea
and cure Of consumption, dysentery, diar-
rhea, dyspepsia, indigestion, kidney and
liver complaints, when Mishler's Herb
Bitters is used, is that it contains simple,
harmless, and yet powerful ingredients,
that act on the blood, kidneys, and liver,
and through them strengthens and invigor-
ates the whole system. Purely vegetable
in its composition; prepared by regular
physician; standard medicinal prepare
ton; endorsed by physicians and drug
giats. Thcsear four strong points in favor

The Future Great.

Now that everybody is talking OF
Prince Alexander of Bulgaria, it may
be of interest to note that this maternal
grandfather, Count Hauck, was a man
of very obscure parentage. Sixty
years ago. Hauk entered the service,
Count Bruhl, the head of the museum
at Dresden, as copying clerk. After
few months he went to Warsaw, and
though man of no particular attain
ments, started a small paper devoted
to military matters. This brought him
under the notice of the Grand Duke
Constantine, who was then Governor
of Warsaw, and gave his son a COM
mission in the Russian army. With
such patronage young aauck, though
OF small education, was rapidly adj
| vanced, and a few years after was
raised to the rank of Colonel and
created Count. 1t is mystery even
now what services he rendered to the
Grand Duke to entitle him to such
exceptional favors. However, he did
not enjoy his good fortune long, as
the Polish instruction of 1880 he was
among the first victims, being shot
dead as he was on the point of leaving
his house. Hauck' services to the
Grand Duke seem to have been of such
a special character that after his death
his daughter was brought up at the
expense of the Russian Government
by the influence of her fathers late
patron. When hardly out of her teens
she made the acquaintance of Prince
Alexander of Hesse-Darmstadt the
brother of the late Empress OF Russia,
who, in spite of the circumstances Of
his relatives, insisted upon marrying
her. This messalliance compelled him
to ,relinquish his position at the
Imperial Court and return to
Darmstadt with his wife, who was
created Princess of Battenberg. The
history of this family is most extraor-
binary, seeing that one of the offspring
of this union-Prince Alexander OF
Bulgaria-has just set Europe at
defiance in Eastern Roumelia, whilst
another has married the youngest
daughter of the Queen and the third
Her Majesty's granddaughter, the
daughter of the Grand Duke of Hesse.

A Millionaire's Habits.

The Hon. Russell Sage is one of the
money kings of America. He started
in life no better off comparatively speak.
ing, than the average man. To-day he
is worth many millions. His great for.
tune was accumulated by energy, pru-
dcnce and business tact. Good health
has enabled him to give personal and
almost unremitting attention to his
wide interests. He realizes and often
says that his habits of life have kept
his physical condition perfect and en-
abled him to accomplish what he would
not have otherwise been able to do.
Few men are as methodical as Mr.. Sage.
He takes three meals day. His lunch
at one o'clock in the afternoon is his
dinner. He designates it lunch be.
cause it is taken in business hours. His
supper is at $50. He calls it ''high
tea The reason of this designation
is that it is substantial at all times, and
when company is present it is convert
ed into dinner.
It is the practice of most people who
have three meals day to make one of
them light. Mr.. Sage makes hearty
meals of them all and his good diges-
ton makes the whole three enjoyable.
He retires at 10 or 1890 O'Clock. In
the summer he arises at $50 and has
breakfast an hour later. His time for
arising in winter is Z and his breakfast
is served at 8. The meal comprises a
steak or chop, as rule a
baked potato and a roll.

PRESIDENTIAL LOCKS.
Hair OF the Occupants Of tho Executiv
Mansion from George to Grover.

Hair Of the Occupants Of tho Executive
Mansion from George to Grover.
Here is curiosity. It is case con-
tanning the hair of all the Presidents,
from the fine gray lock of George
Washington down to the semi-blonde
one of Garfield. This case shows that
the color of a mans hair is no sign as
to his presidential success. Jefferson
had red hair, and we are told that he
was freckled. John Adams wore q
wig, and his son, John Quincy Adams,
had the baldest head which ever rested
on the pillows of the White House.
Martin Van Buren, was also slightly
bald, but his badness came more to the
front of his head than Cleveland 8.
Van Buren's hair was beautifully wavy,
and he combed it we'll back from the
side of his face. While he was Presi-
dent he wore it short, and it had be-
come quite gray. Some of Jefferson s
portraits represent him with his hair
banged in front, and coming down over
his forehead in the style OF the dude of
to-day. Everyone knows how Jack
sons hair stood up all over his head as
straight and stiff as the quilts of por-
cupine, but all are not aware that he
was as gray as badger during his
Presidential term, and that his hair
was as fine as the thinnest strands of
spun silver. John Tyler was also
fine-haired, and he was a very fine
looking man. William Henry Harrison
combed his hair we'll to the front of
his ears, and he was gray at
the time he was elected. Frank Pierce
had thick, curly hair, which fell down
upon his forehead, and James Buchan-
an kept his gray head we'll trimmed,
cOmbing his hair so as to show to the
full his high, open brow. Polk pat
termed after Jackson in combing his
hair straight back with hardly a part,
and both Fillmore and Taylor parted
their hair on tho left side of the head.
while Frank Pierce parted his boldly
on the right. President Arthur had
dark hair, which was growing gray
when he left the White House. He
kept it we'll combed back from his face
and wore it short. President Lincoln
did not pay much attention to his hair,
and most of bis pictures represent it as
rather long. 1t was dark and straight.
President Cleveland's hair is brown
and thin. He wears it short and
combs it up from his forehead as
though he wished to increase the size
of that part of his face. His head is
bald at the crown, and the badness is
daily increasing, though he plasters
his hair over it in a vain attempt to
hide it.-Carp, in Cleveland Leader.

Re vas an ancient, bearded man,
Within the archW0y seated,
Who through the summer, lone and long
The rosary repeated. Is
He rang the bell for matin prayer
At noontide for the reapers,
And, when the evening shadows fell, 3.s
he rang il for the keepers,
And sometimes, too, he kn0lled knoll,
For everlasting sleepers. F.. =;
From day to day he said his beads,
Within the archway staying;
The sun arising found him there,
And, sitting, left him praying.
On him would little hands attend,
: And little footballs battered;
Around him, where the fig trees bend,
Were purple treasures scattered,
The whispering cypress was his friend,
but seldom at that convent gate,
A traveller dismounted;
The outer world Of toll and hate
Passed by it unaccounted.
Monotonous and quiet and calm,
The prayerful season glided;
The vesper hymn and morning psalm
The days alone divided.
That by the dial, near the palm,
We're left all undecided.
So years went by, until one day,
The night cloud, westward rolling,
Came round the friar's dim retreat,
Without the vesper tolling.
The birds still sang on ivy sprays,
The children still were playing,
The porter, as In former days,
Seemed r0saries still saying.
But death had found his quiet ways
And took the old man praying.

these things are Invariably accom-
panied BY wheaton griits. Inspeakinp of
his fondness for grits, Mr.. Sage said !:
II take grits 365 days in the year and
they always agree with me. eat
what agrees with me and eschew what
does not. Six months in the wear I
have baked apples for breakfast.
Fruit am fond Of and always find it
beneficial. =%> =.
Mr.. Sage's lunch. or dinner, con-
sists of roast beef or lamb, with bread.
butter and fruit. His '.high teal IS
composed of chops, steak or broiled
chicken, with potatoes, biscuit and the
like. He is particular about bread,
which he eats at every meal. 1t is
homemade, white and light and sweet,
such as one expects to find in the coun-
try, surrounded with the romance of
milk and honey. Coffee is taken at
breakfast and tea at supper. Occasion
ally Mr.: Sage has tea served at his
lunch. In the summer, however, his
midday meal is accompanied with
claret. In the winter he adopts a
practice peculiarly his own. After his
breakfast he takes a tablespoonful of
good old bourbon whisky in Apol-
linaris. 1t is first rate tonic. he says.
Mr.. Sage takes exercise, which he
deems as necessary to his health as
regularity in his habits. He likes
driving and owns splendid horses. His
time for driving in the summer is in
the afternoon at the close of business.
He takes an hour or an hour and a
half on the road. In the winter the
drive is taken after breakfast, as it is
dark by the time he gets up from his
Office in the afternoon.
He is not addicted to the use of to-
bacco. In his boyhood he lighted CT
gar and pulled away until sensation
stole over him that made earth and
even circuses lose their charms for
him.

The ordinary seaside routine is about

ment ever awarded to pleasure-seekiug
men. Dear me! l have gone through
it all. The early breakfast. with the
everlasting shrimps and lodging-house

never tired Of watching the start
for the hunt. The general was q fip-
ure that would have fixed attention
anywhere. He had marked individu-
atty of appearance and certain nm
studied oarelessnes in the wearing Of
his costume that gave picturesque eff
feet, not the least out of place on the
frontier. He wore troop-boots reach
ing 70 his knees, buckskin breaches
fringed on the sides, a dark navy-blue
shirt with broad collar, q red necktie,
whose ends floating over his shoulders
exactly as they did when he and his en-
tire division of cavalry had worn them
during the war. On the broad felt hat,
which was almost sombrero, was fas-
tened slight mark of his rank.
He was at this time IS years of age,
weighed 40 pounds. and was nearly
six feet IN height. His eyes were clear
blue and deeply set, his hair short,
wavy and golden in tint. His mus
tache was long and tawny in color; his
complexion was horid. except where
his forehead was shaded by his hat. for
the sun always burned his skin ruth

He was the most agile, active man
ever knew, and so very strong and in
such perfect physical condition that he

Horse and man seemed one when
the general vaulted into the saddle.
His body was so lightly poised and so
full of swinging, undulating motion it
almost seemed that the wind moved
him as it blew over the plain. Yet
every nerve was alert, and like finely
tempered steel, for the muscles and
sinews that seemed so pliable were
equal to the curling of the most fiery
animal. l do not think that he sat his
horse with more grace than the other
officers, for they rode superbly, but it
was accounted by others almost an i'm
possibility to dislodgc the general
from the saddle, no matter how vicious
the animal might prove. He threw his
feet out of the stirrups the moment the
horse began to show his inclination for
war, and with his knees dug into the
sides of the plunging brute he fought
and always conquered. With his own

A Romance of the War

AT the outbreak of the war a man
named Christ Reynolds joined the Con-
tedernte service as a guerrilla in Missouri.
When the war ceased he came TO Gem
tralia, in that State, and worked at his
trade as a blacksmith i'll a neighboring
town. He married a widow whose hus-
band was killed in the war. Reynolds
continued his work until he accidentally
heard that his stay would be extremely
hazardous, as it is claimed that while he
was Il guerrilla some act of his rendered
him amenable to the law. Becoming
alarmed he turned his property into cash,
and securing it about his person hurriedly
left for Texas
Shortly before his departure Mrs Reyn-
olds gave birth To daughter As years
went by, and Reynolds still remained
absent his wife applied for n divorce,
which was granted. Later she married
Mr.. Owen Breeze, well-known resident
Of that vicinity Meanwhile the baby
born to Mrs, Reynolds grew upand is now a
popularyoung lady ofCentralia. Some time
ago, says a correspondent of the Cleveland
Ledder letters of inquiry were received in
which the writer asked for information
concerning the family of one Christ Reyn-
olds. Developments followed until it was
learned that Mr.. Reynolds still lived,
having amassed a comfortable fortune.
He now says he longs for the companions
ship of his daughter whom he wishes to
90 10 him. To her friends II is said Miss
Reynolds has signihed an intention OF
leaving Centralia and casting her lot with
her father whom she has never known.
