Day and Night

During an acute attack of Bronchitis,
ceaseless tickling in the throat, and an
exhausting, hacking cough, afiict the
sufferer. Sleep is banished, and great
prostration follows. This disease is also
attended with Hoarseness, and some-
times Loss of Voice. 1t is liable to be-
come chronic, involve the lungs, and
terminate fatally. Ayers Cherry Pecto-
raj affords speedy relief and cure in cases
of Bronchitis. 1t controls the disposition
to cough, and induces refreshing sleep.
I have been practising physician for
twenty-four years, and, for the past
twelve, have suffered from annual at
tacks of Bronchitis. After exhausting
all the usual remedies

they may be- the very words which the
speaker they represent would use if he sought
to express the sentiments they have in mind; but
the fault is with tie sentiments. the Smiles, the
metaphors, the illustrations, and those other
things which constitute differences in the mental
characteristics of people. An American may
write the French language correctly. but how
can he expect to deceive Frenchman with his
simulated style until he has studied the French
character. inspirations, and methods of thought
1t is much the same with dialect literature:
knowing the language is good enough as far as
it goes. but the dialect must be prompted by an

IF there had really been a suffering family at

some of the morning papers said there was, they
would have been the most luxurious sufferers the
city has ever seen by this time According to
the accounts given they were an Irish family
who had been shipwrecked on the way over; had
spent two days in the water before they were
rescued. and then came on to Chicago and went
to live in howell, without food, fire or bedding

still clinging to them"

This morning neighbors discovered the four lit
tie ones in the house, with no fire and nothing to
eat. They had but scanty clothing, barely
enough to cover their bodies, and were nearly
frozen and suffering for food when found. The
youngest was sobbing bitterly, while the eldest
vainly striving to comfort the others. They
were taken to neighbours houses, warmed, fed,
and properly clothed. The eldest child says
her father left them last night, promising to re-
turn soon. but did not come back. The small
supply of food on hand was soon consumed and
then the suffering began. The police were mott

Elopement and Marriage.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NATION, ILL.,, JAM 9-David Carnanan and
Miss Maggie Carter, daughter of David Carter,
living near Rural Retreat, Douglas county, ran
away to get married on Wednesday of this
week, heading for Charleston via Nation. By
direction of Magge's father they were halted at
Charleston till the old gentleman could catch up
with them. When he came, at midnight,
he offered strenuous objections to the match,
and was proceeding to chastse the prospective
groom. But the young lady interfered. and
revealed to the irate father that her honor and
her good name were at stake. Upon hearing
this unpleasant bit of information, the old gen
tleman withdrew his objections, and the couple
were married at the Naples Hotel in Charleston.
The bride was not quite fourteen years of age.

drawn on so recklessly. The slower process Of

these first baby dispatches as they prepare them.

an exultant, beaming face. He grabs blank
and dashes off something like this: 'sGreat news

again: Expected event realized; a little GIRL

rather cold way to speak of her to her own
