GOV. CLEVELAND'S HEAD.

The size of Gov. Cleveland's
head troubled divers Blaine speak
ers during the late canvass, particu-
larly Mr.. Phelps, OF New jersey.
In none of Mr.. Phelps speeches,
we believe. did be omit to inform
his hearers that Gov. Cleveland
wears No. 5 hat, and several ol
them have lost money by trusting
to bis assurance, for now comes for
ward Mr.. Edgar Cottrell, of Albany,
the Governors halter, and certi-
fes. for tho purpose of deciding
bets upon the subject, that the size
of Gov. Cleveland's hat is No. u,
which is considerably above the
human average. The Nc. 5 story,
says Mr.. Cottrell, was "a silly cam.
paign lie" and has cost the fools
who believed it many o handsome
penny"

About half-past o'clock last
Sunday afternoon, Mr.. Lionel G.
Levy, while out hunting. accident
ally shot himself in the left breast,
from the effects Of which he died,
at balf-past IL o'clock Sunday
night. The particulars of the sad
affair, according to our information,
! are as follows: Mr.. Levy was ac-
companied by Mr.. Trusseset and
son, and the two latter had pro-
ceeded a short distance ahead of
Mr.. Levy, when they heard his gun
explode. They thought he had
shot at some game. but upon going
up to him, they made the sad dis
covery that he had accidentally shot
himself. He had leaned his gun
against tree. and upon taking it
up it went off, and Mr.. Levy re-
ceived the entire charge of No. s
shot in the left breast, just above
the heart, the ends CT the gun bar
rels also entering the gaping
wound. As quick as possible he
was taken to his residence, and
Drs. Randolph aud Lavilvaresse
were summoned to attend him. and
remained by his bedside until he
expired. shortly after midnight.
Mr.. Levy's family were all in the
city, but he received the ministra-
tons of kind friends and neighbors
who did all in their power to re-
lieve his suffering. His remains
were taken to the city last Monday,
on the tugboat Stockton, accom-.
panied by DIR. Randolph and Mr.
i, Robt. Badon. Mr.. Levy was {

EXTENDING THE ExposITroN.-Dl-
rector General Burke has tele-
graphed to the City Council OF New
Orleans, from Washington, that
there are hopes of extending the
Exposition and reopening it on the
LIST of October next. In promotion
at this movement, the Council has
adopted an ordinance granting the
use of THE City Park to the EXPOSE
ton Management for another year.
This is the first step taken in the
direction of carrying over the Ex-
position, and will doubtless. be fol-
lowed by others that will prolong
the existence of this great enter
prise so that it may be fully enjoy
ed by the many thousands who
have been deprived that pleasure.

America Ahead. Peculiar
characteristics of Ameri-
cans The Evils and How
Restored.

In this age of hustle and hurry, an age
devoted to great projects and enterprises,
the American people are taking the lead
in the furtherance Of noble works, and in
the advancement of the sciences and arts.
In these they deserve to take high rank,
and through the united works of millions,
the American continent is fast being
transformed from its untamed state and
being placed on an equality with the older
continents beyond the ocean. The Amer
lean people are fast, under these influences
developing into nervous, energetic race,
remarkable for its vim and business quail
fcations; yet there is danger that in the
course Of years these very dement's may
combine to the ruination Of the physical
character of the people, and leave them
feeble and altogether different from their
forefathers. General debility is now much
more common than formerly, and seems
TO be on the increase among the masses.
Many remedies have been extensively
advertised for this widespread complaint,
but none of these have been SO successful
or met with such general favor as the
remedy manufactured by DIR. S. B. Hart
man, and named by bin PERUNA.
Mr.. S S. Goudy, of Massillon, Stark
county, Ohio, writes That he has been
troubedwit general debility and dyspep-
STA for several years; that he was induced
to try PERUNA for his complaints, and
that after using three bottles of the medi
cine he was greatly relieved. 1t braced
him right up and gave him energy, and
restored him to his youthful vigor. He
ascribes his cure to PERUNA, and says it
is a wonderful remedy.
Adolph Bakhaus & Co., Springfield, o.,
writes "We are having good sale for
PERUNA. 1t sells as we'll as any medicine
we have, and gives the very best satisfac-
ton"
Mrs. G. w. Needham, Newtonville,
Clermont County, Ohio, says: L" l have
been a great sufferer for the last six or
seven years, with general debility and
change of life. l was very much reduced.
Ihave taken four bottles of PERUEA, which
has restored me to perfect health and
strength. We think PERUNA a safe and
grand medicine"

Almost Willing to Sacrifice Himself

attempted one of the most sensational
swindles of the day. There are ten
children in the family, and the hus.
band and wife find it hard work to

of the children should sit down on the

then sue the company for damages,
with which the remaining young.
