Pat Rooney. Well, we saw him at the
Grand Friday night, and right glad we are
that We did, ''and thereby hangs tale" On
our way home from the show 1--WE won't be
particular about the exact location) being by
ourself, our thoug hts riveted on the possibili-
ties of getting in some back way, We were
somewhat startled by hearing female voice
at side entrance, on one OF the main streets,
e1claim, Darling, God knows l love you"
Stepping back suddenly, and as noiselessly as
possible, we braced up to the side of the
building, and being hidden to great extent
by the shadow of the building, we were able
to creep up close to the doorway and peer
throu h a small opening, enabling us to gaze
on this, what we supposed certainly must be.
touching scene Th're we saw Beatrice
Muligan leaning her pomade-impregnated
head against the off shoulder OF TheOdocious
Penwiper, while the soft moon shone like a
benediction on her dropping eyelids and
hesving breast. Her tireless lover stood as
one entranced with the flashing radiance of a
lovely vision, and As he gased with pensive
eyes at the trusting form, whose lovely head
wss greasing his best coat unawares, his soul
seemed to be lost in a haven of bliss. He
stroked her hair awhile with GLoBs-REPUB-
Lie, and then said, "Well (hic), who the devil
(hic) cares"

Rev. D. B. Green calls on Us to say that
the Albert Green arrested for stealing coal is
in no way connected with the church, as was
reported in this paper. Rev. Green also states
that some people have mistaken the man
arrested for himself, which of course could
not have been intended.

"Come here Just minute and look at this
little work of art" said DIR. Morrison, the In
Urinary physician, to the writer last week.
Accompanying the doctor to bis room he
hauded out little gilt picture frame about q
foot square. The subject of the picture was a
representation of Columbia unfurling a
United States flag. In the back ground was
a spirited picture of a ship in full sail, and
locomotive, the whole being executed in black
and red colors principally. The substance on
which it is executed resembled parchment or
the yellow skin of drum head
THAT picture is on human skin," said the
Doctor, "taken from the breast OF the tramp
Condron, who died from his injuries at the
lnirmary recently, by his permission before
bis death. The writer's first impulse was to
drop the ghsstly relic, but the second was to
examine the picture more closely. The pic
ture is tatooed il indelible colors on the skin,
which, now that it is dried, is translucent A
sparse growth of hair is noticed in the mid
die of the picture and the left edge shows
the marks OF the terrible burns from the ef-
fects of which the man died. The picture
ian be seen at DR.. Morrison's Office, until it is
sent to the Ann Arbor museum.

time ago, that the entire city be

about the idea, however. Damascus, that ia.

CURES FOR PILES.

Piles are frequently preceded by sense OF
weight in the back, loins and lower part OF
tine abdomen, causing the patient to suppose
he has some effection of the kidneys or
neighboring organs. At times, symptoms Of
indigestion are present, flatulency, unea iness
of the stomach, etc. A moisture, like per-
spiration, producing very d.sagreeable itch
ing, after getting warm, is a common at
tendsnt Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles
yield at once to the application Of DR..
Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which acts directly
upon the parts affected, absorbing the
Tumors, allaying the intense itching, and
effecting permanent cure. Price so cents

turing establishments by prominent

surprised at the prosperity he witnessed

titled "A Forgotten Battle" 1t is not as
some might suppose history of the Gener-
ais recent political battle in Clark county,
but . very interesting addition to the war
history Of the country, in the form of per-
sonal experiences of the General, while in
the army. The article appears with other
contributions by the most eminent writers,
among whom are Lieutenant Greely, Mark
Twain and Others. The articles are published

cause the cold chills TO race up and down the

Captain Bowlus, the weil-known Democratic
politician OF that hamlet, is distant connec-
ton OF Vice President Hendricks by mar
risge, and that he will therefore get the post

Democrats to the administration. 1t is said

The weather during the past week puts the
most frantic creations of the most talented
oldest inhsbitant to the blush. 1t is doubtful
whethera similar icy time will be expert
erced during this generation. A coating of
ice from q quarter TO half an inch thick has
covered every tree and all the telegraphic
wires for eight days since Friday OF week be-
fore last. The damage done can hardly be
estimated. l was talking about it to an in
telligent farmer. Said he:
81 never saw such a time. At least 10 per
cent. of the trees in my orchard are entirely
ruined and many of the rest are badly
broken. Wherever a tree had q forked
growth, the weight OF the ice literally
pulled it apart in many cases. The orchards
throughout ae country look like brush
patches, with the broken limbs. Peach trees
especially suffered, owing to the brittle, weak
character of their wood, when the tree is old.
Strange to say, even the timber suffered con-
siderably, many of the oaks, even, being bad
ly broken. Old orchards in our vicinity are
literally ruined, most Of the trees being more
or less broken. The most serious damage
was done TO the young trees and growing
saplings. Of course they did not break, but
the weight of ice bowed them over nearly to
the ground. If the ice had thawed imme-
diately no harm would have resulted, but it
remained SO long that the young trees be-
come permanently bent and never will acquire
. straight growth, to the immense injury of
our young orchards"

tine belle of that institution during her col

she spent several happy months in European

Mr.. Chas. Cushmsn, OF the Big Six Band,
succeeded in accomplishing q feat last week
which may have been done before in Ameri-
ca, but we much doubt it. While the band
was marching through the Arcade, playing
as it went, Cushman observed a huge rat run
ming across the floor of the Arcade In an
instant, Mr.. Cushman with quick move
ment, killed the little promenader with his
foot without losing . single note of his part
or breaking step. 1t is supposed that the rat
was SO utterly and hopelessly paralyzed by
tremendous cadenzs which "Cush." was exc

health enough left to escape.
George Alfred Townsend, "Gath," who
lectures here Tuesday evening for the benefit
of the Young Ladies' Missionary Society of
the First Presbyterian church, is a warm per-
sonal friend of Hon. John w. Bookwalter, of
this city. Indeed an imaginative reporter
once wrote up charming little fiction that
the frequent visits of the Springfield states
man TO the great correspondents house were
caused by the attraction which the latters'
charming daughter had for him. The little
romance was spoiled, however, by the an
nouncement that the young lady was "plight-
ed to another" Mr.. Book walter hes often
talked to the writer of ..Gath's wonderful news
paper gifts, and his methods of work He
says that Gath does little outside work him
self Much of his material is obtained from
prominent men who visit him, and be has
friends eminent in all walks of life,
from whom be obtains interest
ing points. Then, he is voluminous
newspaper reader and possesses an extraor-

edge. When any public event comes up, he
is sure to know a vast amount of history
connected with each of the prominent actors
in it.

suits in Cincinnati and has argued several
