of the plantation to work, End he took
himself thither and commenced opera

been there long before he encountered
a huge coach-whip snake which made
fight. The young man fought bravely,
but his snakeship got the better of it.
and the young man had to hit the grit
lively. He started homeward and the
snake after him. As he moved he
looked back over his shoulder occasion

opened his throttle and got up railroad

about $4,000 on a wheat speculation
went for broker with:
f. "See here. didn't you say that wheat
was as low as it could go?"
20, YES
'.And that it was a good time to
buy?"
Certainly"
'.And that you'd advise any one de-
sirous of specializing to invest in
wheat?"
Il believe that was my advice"
''Well, sir. bought wheat on your
advice and am SO, 900 out of pocket. as
you know"

it," howled the victim.

THE GIRL LEFT BEHIND NE.

The girl left behind me
Was pretty and all that:
Br ght golden ringlets gliStened
Beneath her airy hat.
She had dainty figure.
Her hands we're small and white,
Her mouth was like a rosebud.
Her eyes were warm and bright.
Her way was light and graceful
She was Il roguish elf
4 sweet bewitching fairy.
And well supplied with pclf.
She sang Ike anv wild bird.
She danced with wondrous art,
And looked just Ike an angel
In her red village-cart.
Full often in the moonlight
We took little stroll.
And sat beneath the hemlOck
Upon the lonely knoll.
This girl left behind me
Was just Il lovely girl;
She was IA perfect daisy,
Likewise precious pearl.
Often think about her.
And the sweet long ago.
Why did go and leave her
Behind me, would you know?
That girl left behind me,
And swiftly ceased to WOO,
Simply, oh, simply, simply
Because she asked me to.

4 PHYSICIANS ADVICE.

II you are suffering from general de-
bility, nervous prOstratiOn, sinking
spells, ETC., superinduced by impure
blood, weak kidneys and liver, etc, do not
resort to alcoholic compounds. nor use
remedies that cause too great ACTIVITY
of the parts affected. 1t is far more wise
to use q mild alternative like Or. Guy.
colts Yellow Dock and SarsG.
pariIla. THIS remedy contains nothing
injurious to the most delicate constitu-
ton, and its use gradually builds up and
strengthens, while dinrctic and cathartio
compounds tear down, wear out and de-
stroy.
DIR. GuysOtt's YellOU Dock and Sdrsdpd-
rillG restores impaired or lost organic
functions to their normal condition. and
it invariably gives satisfaction to all who
use it
Do not forget that any druggist wifi
procure the remedy for you, especially
when they ind you will not be persuaded
to try some other preparation on which
they make more money. You will find
its effect most wonderful. Your old
energy will return, your natural force
come back, and you will feel altogether a
new person, full of health. strength and
vigor. Former invalids speak highly Of
the preparation, and all acknowledge it
a perfect health rcstorer, especially in
diseases of q debilitating nature having
q tendency to poison and thin the blood,
thereby weakening the urinary and d.
gestive organs, and exhausting tho
brain and nervous system.
~ Worn out and enfeebled con-
situations, suffering from dyspepsia.
impure blood, weak kidneys, nerv-
business, etc, can be cured by
using this remedy. Take no other.

Hon. Sam +. Hill.
Correspondence of the Inquirer


HARTFORD, KY, April II, 1885.
Among the foremost candidates for
the office of United State Pension
Agent at Louisville is Capt. Sam F..
Hill. of this place. Some knowing
ones believe that he will win the
prize, and if so the honor would fall
into deserving and capable hands.
Samuel Ewing Hill was born in
Butler county, Kentucky, about
forty-one years ago. No line Of no.
BILE ancestry assisted in making him
what he is, consequently there is no
need now of claiming that on his
paternal side he had such relations
as the eloquent Ben Hill, of the sun
nv South, or on his maternal side
such as the celebrated Tom Ewing, of
the more chilling regions of the
Northwest. He lost his mother
while vet too young to realize his
great misfortune, but he had such a
bringing up as country lads ordi-
narily received in the Green river
country forty wears ago. While u
mere boy he moved with his father
to this Ohio county, and was edu-
Gated at Hartford Seminary under
the strict, severe, but correct discip-
hinge of that noted educator, the late
Prof. Frank Griffin. Hills father
became citizen of Hartford, was
elected County Judge, and died be-
fore the expiration of his term, hon
ored and respected by all. When
the late war began he was vet in his
teens. but being fired with the patri-
otic impulse of a noble, youthful ma
ture he, in 1862, rushed to the res
cue of his country's flag, and soon
rose to the rank of a captain in the
Twelfth Kentucky Cavalry. No
more gallant soldier barred his bosom
to the storm of battle than this
young captain. But when the clouds
of that unhappy strife had cleared
away he laid aside the paraphernalia
of war, and took up his abode in the
law office of Hon. Henry ID. Me-
Henry. With such help as he could
obtain from Blackstone, Kent and
others he entered with all his energies
into the dull, uninteresting business
of untying the knots and solving the
enigmas of Jurisprudence. He after
ward entered the law department of
the University of Louisville, from
which he graduated in 1867, located
at this place, and soon commanded a
large and lucrative practice. which
he has ever since retained.
In politics Mr.. Hill is true and
uncompromising Democrat, and
while he has never been a blatant
politician, he has always been u faith
ful worker in the party. He was
elected to the State Senate in 1877,
where he proved himselfto bean hon
est, faithful legislator, winning hosts
of friends wherever he went. The
milk of human kindness never found
deeper channels than through the
avenues of his soul, and as natural
result he is beloved by all who know
him.
No better appointment could be
made; being himself soldier, it is not
reasonable that any one who has been
for three long years baptized with
the fire and blood of battle and wit
messed the carnage and destruction
that successively follow, would or
could be untrue to the poor diseased
or crippled soldier that hobbled
home, or to the wife or child of him
who sleeps in the land of flowers, but
whose waking will be late for
wife or child TO see again.
