The yulture stood silent on the bottom

A Wise Reform.

The habit Of administering quinine IN
powerful doses, rs an antidote to malarial
maladies, was once dangerously common
Happily this practice has undergone wide
reform. Not only the public, butprofessional
men have adopted, not wholly, of course,
but largely, Hostctter's Stomach Bitters as a
safe bontanic substitute for the pcrniclons
alkaloid. The consequences of this change
are most important. Now.fever and ague SUI
ferers are cured-formerly their complaints
were only for the time relieved, or half cured
the remedy eventually failing to produce
any appreciable effect, except the doses were
increased. A course of the Bitters, persis-
tently followed breaks up the worst attacks
and prevents there return. The evidence m
favor of this sterling specific and household
medicine is of no ambiguous character, put
positive and satisfactory, and the sources
whence 1t proceeds are very numerous.

CHICAGO, June 20. The Tribune's
Washington special says: 1t is now
pretty definitely settled that the lovesick
Senator Jones, of Florida, will not re-
turn during the presen, session of con.
gress. His friends say he is ashamed to
return, but that he will be here at the
opening Of the next session. A Michigan
representative who has just returned
from Detroit says Jones is living in great
style at ,he Russell house. The Sen
ator is seen very little, except when he
makes an occasional visit to the bar
The Senator's dang bright and
handsome young lady of eighteen, who
had been attending school at the Catholic
semitary in Georgetown, d. c., graduated
last week. 1t was thought the event
might bring the truant statesman here,
but it did not. Miss Jones, it is said,
did not appear on the stage with the
other young woman graduates, but re-
ported that she was i'll. 1t was thought
by some that she was so much embarrass-
ed by the unpleasant notoriety which
her father had gained that she did not
wish to be seen on such public occasion.

George Washington's First Love.

George Washington was tall, large
limbed, shy boy Of about fifteen when
he fell in love with a girl whom he
seems to have met when living with his
brother Auguitine. lie calls her, in one
of his letters afterwards, "lowland
beauty and tradition makes her to
have been a Miss Grimes, who later
married, and was the mother of one Of
the young soldiers that served under
Washington in the war Of independence.
Whatever may have been the exact rea-
son that this love affair did not prosper
whether he was too shy to make his
mind known, or so silent as not to show
himself to advantage, or so discreet with
grave dcmcanor as to hold himself too
long in reserve, it is impossible now to
say but l suspect that one effect was
to make him work the harder Scnsi-
BILE people do not suspect boys of fifteen
to be playing the lover; and George
Washington was old for his years, aud
not likely to appear like spooney.-

We had a prohibition election in
Colfax last Monday, AID majority Of
tweAty-six votes is reported in favor Of
the measure. 1t was the most exciting
election Colfax ever witnessed, and it has
caused great deal of hard feelings,
enmity and hatred. The appeal of the
business men of the city proved dam
age rather than a benefit, as it stirred
up the feeling of enmity toward the
city which Boss Warner and his gang of
oiics-seekers planted in the breasts of
the farmers two years ago, in order to
promote their political interests. How
long this blight will continue there is no
telling, but for the prosperity of both
town and surrounding country we hope
mutual interests and reason will supplant
the feeling prejudice aud malice has
worked up, and hereafter their relations
will be more harmonious. If last Mon
days election works wrong upon Col
tax, and her business interests suffer
from its result, our citizens will come
nearer hitting the mark by placing the
blame at the doors Of certain aeitators
and ingrates within our own comp. than
BY charging it to the country people
who have been persistently harangued
and prejudiced against the town, by
people whose very bread and butter be-
ponds upon the success Of our business
