A Terrible Array of Sudden Deaths Among the Nest Prominent
 EL2n

This has neen marvellous year for sud- den deaths among great men. The number is enormous and includes such names as Mcclellan. Vanderbilt ana Hancock. But think for a moment Of the ones who die daily in an equally sudden manner and of whom we never hear! What does it mean? That something is uudermin- ing the vitality of the American pcoplel What IS 1t2, No one certainly knows: probably 2 combination of causes. From all that can be learned lack of albumen in the body causes 9 sapping of the vital forces and a quick breaking down results. How does this lack of aIbumen come worry, loss of sleep dissipation. severe climate, bad water, injurious food--all these things work against the life and cause sickness and death. People must ho:ly fortified. How? Many ways may b. md have been tried, but unuuestion
 ably the best manner in which to strengthen the body; fortify the nerves; is by the use of Hoptonic. This prepara- toH contains .peptoniZed beef, malt and hops, and thus furnishes an absolute food as well as a heaithful tonic. llop- tonic is endorsed by no less authority than the celebrated chemist. Prof. Rose.
 while physicians recognize its great value and are using it in their practice. There are probably not less than aquarter of nllillon pe0pleslSlng ms rerneuy Eo-nay, and it is eftlesesuring them or preventing the coming on of disease. When any man, woman or child feels nervous or irritable, or is for any cause uneasy. it s Is R sign that the current of life is de- ranged. If the heart skips single beat deat.s, is the result lift runs on faster and faster than the blood is sent 10 the head too rapidly and apoplexy ensues If the nerves gre unstrung the heart CT brain are liable to give way at any moment. These are questions of life and death and most seriou, ones. They mean that if caresis not exercised evil re- healthful tonic is good at all times. and
 absolutely required if the body is the least out of order They mean possible life and happiness or probale sickness and death.

WE Curtis, in the Chicago Inter-Ocean, says: Some people who have had the inn pression that Miss Cleveland is prude of the tsprunes, prisms and persimmons' sort are having it erased from their minds, and the fact that she occasionally drops into current slang, as Silas Wegg dropped into poetry, is 8 matter of common report. The other day wife of Western sena- tor called at the White House. and, having seen the Presidents sister only once, was surprised and gratified at being addressed by name. 'rm quite astonished that you should remember me,'' she said, and hope you will continue to- .You may count on that" replied Miss Cleveland, "I never go back on my friends" and the Western senator's wife, not to be outdone,

ren who Enter Congress.

The fate which befen MT. Henry J. Ray mond, apart from the essential weakness of the issue on which he staked his suc- cess, is not uncommon to men who enter Congress with great reputation already. attained So much is expected of them that their efforts on the floor are almost sure 10 fall below the standard set up for them by their hearers. By natural reac- tion- they receive in consequence, less credit than is their due. Except in a few marked instances the House has always been led by men whose reputation has been acquired in it's service. Entering un- heralded, free from the requirements which expectation imposes, Q clever man is sure to receive. more credit than is really his due when he is so fortunate as to arrest the attention of members ain his first speech. Thenceforward, if he be discreet enough to move slowly and mod estly, he acquires secure standing and may reach the highest honors which the House can confer.-[James G. Blaine's History

John e. saxe,s Fun Hand.

Did you ever on a railway car observe the many bits of pasteboard that are thrust out at the conductors, who hesitate before they punch them and hand them back with an air that seems to say: ssWen, lis none of my business" and move on to Rnothera That's the sspasss" and @ mighty useful thing it is where the sheck- els are not redundant and the ways are long. Lecturers find it so especially, and Saxe-now old and, am told, ruined in health and spirits-onces told one of his experiences that was very amusing. He had passes on all the railroads and steamboats in the west, he thought, but at one time he found himself on short road not down on his chart upon which he had no ticket. AS the conductor came along he took all his passes from his pocket and held them in his hand like deck of playing card. s.Mr. Conductor,' said he, 'sdo you play euchre?" "Yes, sometimes" ssWen, what should you say to hand like that?n 'tI should say pass" and Saxe put up his cards as the conductor passed laughingly along.

Keeping Boys on tn Farm.

sWhy do the boys leave the farm?'' wall s a writer in an agricultural journal. Well, dear brother, there are several req sons One is because the boy is not 65 years at his birth. Then, if there is hoe on the farm weighing fourteen ouuces, bright as nickle plate and sbarp as rag or, and another hoe weighing somewhat less than 8 breaking blow, with an edge on it like: hammer and a sapling with the bark on for handle, the hired man takes one and the boy gets the other, and every man in America knows which is the other. Did you ever stand with such hoe in your hands away down in corn row on some airless, still, hot summer day, twenty acres of corn blades and tas- sells willing about you, standing fourteen inches higher than your head, shutting out every lost trace of breath less air and then hear a locust down in the edge of fine timber strike up his long, strident, monotonous call to make it ten times hotter? And all this time a cool creek, not mile away, loitering in deep, silent pools in shady places in the woods, or breaking into merry dancing rjpples over the pebbles? And in the big deep holes the fish just lying around, lonesome for boy? Well, then, you know why some boys leave the ia rm. -TBurdette.

Although she was now recognized and cordially greeted by people of the best society, many still denounced her for her former cratic course. So it came to pass that in the Fall of 1860, walking on Broad way, she met her protege, the daughter of her old agent, who had been married to the naval officer. In her usual impulsive way, Lola rushed up to embrace her, but the young woman repulsed her with:
 s'Madam do not know your'

 "Madam," repeated the girl. who owed her all to Lola's charity, "I do not know you. I never spoke to you before. And if you persist in annoying me will call a policeman" e sE
 This ingratitude was too much. Poor Lola fell to the ground in a fainting fit. When she was carried home it was found that one side of her body was paralyzed A few weeks later she died. The Rev. Dr. Hawks, of Calvary Church, was at her deathbeG, and said she passed away in full assurance of Christian faith. She was buried January 19, 1861, in Green wood Cemetery.

A Proposal on the Rail.


 I was sitting on train about to leave Richmond. Virginia, for Petersburg, when bridal party came on, and one of the bridesmaids occupied the vacant seat by my side The coach was crowded, and her special escort could not find a seat, but contented himself by standing in the aisle at her side, conversing about the events of the day. It became dark, and closed the book had been reading, and leaned my head on the window, and closed my eyes, simply 10 rest them. Nothing was farther from my thoughts than to be an eayesdrop- per, but so in the event proved to be; for in the darkened twilight the absorbed couple. supposing me to be asleep, settled into | stloye's low tone," each word of which struck upon my car clear as bell, for in his earn estness he leaned on the back of the seat ill front of Us, his face. as you can picture for yourself. forming with the Ilady's ear and mine an equilateral tri- angle. In free America, and on 6 public conveyance, did not think it necessary to remind them of my presence Presently he leaned closer and whispered :s"You must know by this time what my atten- | tions to you mean. May hope that may claim you as mine"
 | After little pause she said, q am very sorry, but am afraid our paths through I life will have to diverge."

 Her voice in the gloaming sounded like music to him, have no doubt, as she an swered sI have been thinking over what told you. No one knows what may be In the future, and perhaps our paths may converge"
 Just then the whistle blew for my sts- tion, and gathering up my possessions, was preparing to depart, when he ex- claimed joyfully: '.Do you get off here? Allow me to help you with these" And with shining eyes he took my satchel and parcels and helped me off, even contron ing himself so far as to bow respectfully as left.
