For all people, in sickness or in health, lemonade is safe drink. It corrects biliousness. It IS a specific against worms and skin complaints.

Sail ors make daily use of it. for this pur- pose. A physician suggests rubbing the gums with it daily to keep them in health. The hands and nails are also kept clean, white, soft and supple by the daily use of lemon instead of soap. It also prevents chilbla1ns. Lemon is used in inter nittent levers with strong, hot black tea or coffee without sugar. Neu- ralgia may be cured by rubbing the as- fected parts with lemon.

After a ..tormy sermon from the preacher, who gave vivid description of hell, its eli mate and inhabitants, followed by red hot exhortation from one of the brethren, they literally stormed the fort.

When the procession had arrived at the bottom of the elevated lawn on the banks of the Potomac, where the family Vault is placed, the cavalry halted, the infantry marched toward the mound and f'rmed their lines, the clergy, the Ma -5u brothers and the citizens descend ei to the vault, and the funeral services of the church were performed. The fir ing was repeated from the vessel in the river, and the sounds echoed from the woods and fields around.
 Three general discharges by the in. fantry, the cavalry and eleven pieces of artillery, which lined the banks of the Potomac back of the vault, paid the last tribute to the Chief of the armies of the United States and to the departed hero.

YORK, Pa, August 3l.-A decided
sensation was created in Winterstown.
in this county. yesterday, by j. III. p.
Fulton, a well-known resident of that
village. Rev. j. T. Shultz. of Shrews-
bury, pastor Of the circuit embracing
the Winterstown Evangelical church,
some time ago announced that yester-
day he would preach Grant me-
mortal sermon. Fulton gave notice
that such sermon should not
be preached in that church. But
little attention was paid to his threat,
and on Sunday Rev. DIR. Shultz an
rounced his text and proceeded with
his sermon. enumerating the great men
of ancient and modern times. Fulton
sat quietly until General Grants name
was mentioned, when he sprang to his
feet, brandished his arms, and cried to
the minister: Stop that " The
preacher continued his discourse. and
Fulton advanced up the aisle. Great
confusion prevailed, which reached a
crisis when the angry member sprang
into the pulpit and violently assaulted
the minister, knocking him down. A
rush was made by the congregation to
defend the pastor, and in the melee one
man received blow from Fulton's fist
and another had his clothing badly torn.
Order was finally restored and the
sermon finished. Fulton will probably
be prosecuted. 1t is said he has left
the place. His action has aroused great
Indignation.

Canada he learned that niece was in .
bsgnio in Cincinnati. lie Immediately
returned to that city and began o
search for her. lie found her in bagnio
and persuaded her to return home.
lie gave her ticket. He was excited,
ami not drunk"
The vestry have been in session since
noon, and it is believed he will be sus-
tanned, though public sentiment Is
against him overwhelmingly. Over
seventy-five good citizens with whom
have talked to-day believe that he has
been on o debauch. They do not
credit his story. Since the matter has
become public citizens here say they
have drank with him. Should the ves-
try sustain him he will never WELD the
same influence. He looks haggard
and worn out, and remains in his room,
refusing to see any one.
In Cincinnati he wore a blue suit aud
white SLOUGH hat, nut came back here in
regulation black suit. Citizens OF
Atlanta who are in Cincinnati tele-
graphed back that he was drunk and
unable 10 take care Of himself, and
that his debauch was lively one. In
word, everybody here feels that they
have sufficient proof Of his guilt.
