Ward H. in which the unfortunates met

Strain, young man who hal his face

Strain tells the terrible story He says: The

succeeded in getting eighty.scven under my
care to bed, and had sat down to
make ont my usual report when
somebody rushed into my apart

utmost confusion prevailed. Smoke came
rolling upstairs in volumes and before We
could hardly realize our po,ition flames
burst in upon us. Sixty-one occupants of
the bedrooms all managed to make their
escape down stairs. / believe the rooms
were not locked and there was nothing to
prevent them from escaping. Tie flames
spread with terrible rapiIity !

BILE for me to go another step forward, and

and L9ust0cho were singed by the flames
| could hear the poor fellows in the cells
hallowtng and cursing like demons,
FOR the fire was upon them The thought of
their being slowly troaSted alive coupled
with their curses, and piercing cries for

Cures Incipient Consumption.

In all cases of sudden ailments, affecting
the throat and lungs, the immediate use OF
Ayers Cherry Pectoral is of the Highest
Importance. 1t may always be depended
upon in such cases, and for the effective
treatment of these maladies, occupies
place. as household remedy. that can be
filed by no other preparation. Mr..
Samuel Bement, Principal Of Bartlett
School, Lowell. Mss, writes: Il have
used Ayers Cherry Peetoral for several
years. in cases of severe cold, or throat
affections. and always found it speedy and
effectual remedy" Mr.. II. E. Simpson,
Rogers. Texas, writes: II contracted
severe cold. which suddenly developed
into Pneumonia. presenting dangerous
and obstinate symptoms. Ny physician at
once ordered the use of Ayers Cherry
Pectoral. His instructions were followed.
and the result was rapid and permanent
cure" H. H. Woodal. Editor Demo
GRAFT" McConnellsburg. Pa. writes:
"Ayer's Cherry Pectoral has saved my life.
After having suffered for some time from
a disease of the lungs. induced by bad
colds. and, when my friends thought
could not recover. ] tried Ayers Cherry
Pectoral. In three months was WELL"
Horace Fairbrother. Rockingham. VT,
writes: "a severe cold affected my
lungs. had terrible cough. and the
doctors finally gave me up. Ayers Cherry
Pectoral relieved my lungs, and, by its
continued use. effected permanent cure"

The Crippled Congressman.

Isaac Bassett, the venerable door-keeper OF
Congress, saws, "HOw we'll remember what
may be called the total cripples' in Congress
during the past twenty years." Nothing fixes
the personnel of a great man SO wildly in the
memory of those who knew him only by sight
as his physical infirmitv or deformity-if be
had one. May people could recall impressions
and relate anecdotes of Bryon's club foot,
and Beethoven's deafness who never appre-
ciated their poetry and music. The old door
keeper thus designates and describes the
total cripples" of Congress:
All told, they were four. The first who gave
way was grand old Thaddeus Stevens. He
was always lame from an Informed foot.
have learned he did not walk at all until he
was six years old. He always walked with
great difficulty, never could walk far, and
during the last few years of his life Che died
at 76) he could not walk at all. Every day
he was taken from his home near the Capitol
by two strong colored men, in an easy-chair,
which they hoisted on their shoulders, and
thus the great commoner was borne through
the streets. Crowds used to gather to see
him pass. and reverently lift their hats. He
was put down in his place in the House, and
when the session was over he was taken back
to his house and put to bed. Mr.. Stevens
carriers as his pall-bearers.
Another helpless cripple was Darwin A.
Finnev, q member for one term from Mead
Vile, Pa. He propelled himself about in q
wheel-chair, but his trunk and lower limbs
were helpless from paralysis, and he had to
be helped in and out of the House of Repre-
sentatives. lie died abroad. l believe. at
about the same time as MIR. Stevens died.
Oliver p. Morton, as | believe one of the
biggest men in Congress, was another help
less paralytic. He was never out of pain. and
although young man Che died at the age of
54) he was the most dependent of mortals in
his later days. He, too, had to be carried in
and out of the Senate chamber in chair. He
was poor man and could i'll afford the low
coupe he was obliged to own.
The other helpless statesmen of the four
alluded to was Alexander H. Stephens. He
was truly phenomenon. Apparently nothing
but skin and bones, he never weighed, while
in Congress, more than 80 or 100 pounds
Such little bit of thin face and such skele-
ton hands you never saw. Yet how bright
were his eyes. and what exhibitions of energy
His voice was one of the strongest and clear.
est ever heard, and when he spoke, my
masters, wheeling his chair backward and
forward in the space in front of the Speakers
desk, he was listened to by the whole House
He had to be taken home in a chair, too. He
had for body servant young negro six fee,
four inches in height, and admirably proper
toned. Mr.. Stevens used to say, chuckling
quietly the while. that he did not know wha
he would do when 'Sam" died. All four OF
these men are now dead Three of then
certainly were great. and it seems to me tina
the places of Thad Stevens and Governor
Morton never can be filled.
