A Daily Dafalcation.


The Hon. John Kelly, the head and front of
Tammany Hall, a mar. Of strict integrity, an
indcfatigable worker, eaf1y at his office. late to
leave so burdened with business that regular
meals were seldom known by him. with mind
in constant tension aid energies steadily
strained, finally broke down!
The wonder is that he did not sooner give
way. An honest man In all things else. he
acted unfairly within physical resources. He
was ever drawing upon this bank without ever
depositing a collateral. The account overdrawn,
the bank suspends and, both are now in the
hands of medical receivers.
1t is not work that kills men. It is irregu-
larity of habits and mental worry. No man
in good health frets at his work. Bye and bye
when the bank Of vigor suspends, these men
will wonder how its.all happened, and they will
keep wondering until their dying day unless,
perchance, some candid physician or interested
friend will point out to them how by irregu-
larity, by excessive mental effort, by constant
worry and fret, by plunging in deeper than
they had a right to 60. they have produced that
loss of nervous energy which almost invariably
expresses itself in deranged condition Of the
kidneys and liver, for it is well-known fact
that the poison which the kidneys and liver
should remove from the blood, If left therein,
soon knocks the life out of the strongest and
most vigorous man or woman. Daily building
up of these vital organs by so wonderful and
highly reputed a specific as Warmers safe cure,
is the only guarantee that our business men
can have that their strength will be equal to
the labors daily put upon them.
Mr.. Kelly has nervous dyspepsia, we learn,
indicating, as we have said, breakdown of
nerve force. His case should be a warning to
others who, pursuing a like course, will GER
tainly reach like result.-The Sunday Herald

Alaskan Glaciers.

James Denman, principal of the grammar
school which bears his name, returned on
Tuesday from a months excursion among
the romantic islands and picturesque inlets OF
Alaska. Mr.. Denman devoted much of his
attention to the glaciers, compared with which
he pronounces those to be seen in Switzerland
and other parts of Europe to be "babies."
Muir Glacier, in Glacier Bay, named from the
distinguished naturalist. is spectacle whose
grandeur cannot be described-a vast frozen
river of ice, ever slowly moving to the sea, and
piling the enormous masses higher between the
mountain banks until their summit towers
hundreds Of feet in air. Where the point of
the glacier pushes out into and overhangs the
water, vast fragments breaking apart every few
moments of their own weight, and falling with
9 laundering crash into the sea- to float away
as enormous icebergs. it affords spectacle
which can only be understood and appreciated
by one who beholds it with his own eyes.
From the summit of Muir Glacier no less
than % others are to be seen in various direc-
tions, all grinding and crowding their huge
masses toward the sea. sight which must cer-
tainly be one which few other scenes can
equal.

He Vas TharA.

To THE EDITOR: / see there is still con-
tention about the first soldiers in the city Of
Columbia, s. c. The first regiment that sent
a volunteer squad over the river was the 18th
Iowa, who placed their flag on the State House.
By the time theirs was up the 32d Ill. stole a
march on the Fifteenth Corps boys, and placed
their regimental flag on the City Hall, where it
floated all that day. Now these are facts, and
there are good many Of that same squad yet
living. With my own hands l pulled down
the old rebel flag off the City Hail. and Alling,
Goodsell and myself hoisted our regimental
flag in its place, where it stayed through all
the FIRE and fun of that day. We stayed with
it until night, when We went to our regi-
ment with all the good things We wanted.
I slept that night under the stars and bars for
the first and last time. We folded the old thing
in our blankets and slept just as sweetly as if
we were under the Star Spangled Banner. Let's
hear from the next one.-RoBERT A. RUsHER,

An Imprastieabls Proposition.

Little Mamie Snickets, the only child of
Judge Smokers, Of Austin, wanted somebody
to play with her. She said:
Mamma, / want little brother. The little
girl next door has gotta nice new one. Why
can't have one?" 20
Mrs. Smokers shook her head doubtfully.
"Why don't you buy me one, mamma?"
"I haven't got any meney right now"
"But, mamma, you didn't have to pay any
money when you got the piano and the sewing
machine. You pay little every month by
installments. Can't you get baby now, and
pay for him by installments2"
On reflection Mrs. Snickers decided that the
installment plan would not work.

Not long since, at an experience meeting at
Gainesville of the SanctificatioDists, one good
sister arose and said: 81 am safe on the rock.

that he would bring some friends to dinner at

The Bicycle for Business Use.

Perhaps the best recorded example of the
practicability of the bicycle for business use, is
that recently given by Mr.. c. d. Kershaw, of
Cleveland, O., who has within the last Ia
months, in the regular discharge of his duties,
ridden one Expert Columbia bicycle over II, :
600 miles, and during that time an occasional
filling of the little oil-can constituted the entire
running expense.-Bostoa Daily Adpertiser.

A well-known Waterbury farmer tells how
the sheep in his pastures kill their enemy, the

seen the operation number of times, and al
ways with fatal results to the snake

If what we heard an Austin gentleman tell

"What's the matter with him?"
Nothing in particular. except that he has

not yet established itself in the line The
main body of the Twentieth Corps had come
up to point about half a mile in rear of
my division and formed line across the
road. 1t was fortunate that it did not 90
farther on before forming the line. Thus,
from an early hour in the morning till 3
o'clock p m., my division, by being stretched
out into thin line, with wide gaps in it,
by isolated and separate assaults on the en-

had time to come up and fortify on all sides,
till the Twentieth Corps had come up and
formed strong, compact line. But the gap
between Hobart and Buell. was not filled.
Robinson's Brigade was there, but they

The Fountain OF Youth.

Dyspepsia is the prevailing malady of
civilized life. A weak dyspeptic stomach
acts very slowly or not ut all on many
kinds of food, gases are extrlcated, acids
are formed and become a source OF pain
and disease until discharged. To be dys-
peptic is to be miserable, hopeless, depress-
ed, confused in mind, forgetful irresolute,
drowsy, weak, languid and useless. 1t
destroys the teeth, complexion, strength,
peace of mind and bodily.e0se. 1t pro-
duces headache pain in shoulders, coughs,
tightness of chest, dizziness, sour erupta-
