Wanted It Changed.

Shindig Watkins desired to call the
attention of the meeting to the fact
that there was shoal in Lake Huron
which had been set down on the
charts by the government surveyors
as "Nigger- Head Shoal." He for one
felt it to be reflection on his race,
and he hoped the club would forward
its protest to Congress.
"Brudder Watkins, do you call
yourself niger? ?" bIandly inquired
the President.
mo, sah-no, sab In co'se l
don't! I'ze culld man, sah!"
"'Zactly, Brudder Watkins, an so
am l an all de res of de crowd. II
dar am any niger who wants to COM
plain about dat shoal, let him go
ahead it am none of our funeral"
Brudder. Watkins sat down, but he
didn't look exactly like man, who
had gained barrel and half of in
formation not nothing.

The Politician.

The politician, according to the
1erdS Syti,agS, is an exponent of as.
surance, or, at least, he believes in
having policy.
He is like broken bank, because
he lacks principle.
He is like pawnbroker, because
his industry depends on income. 49,.
He is like st. Paul, because he "is
all things to all men,"
He is like ball, because he lies on
all sides.
He is like a circus performer, be-
cause he gains in the ring.
He is like harp, because he Is
modern specimen of a Tyre.
He is like the Arctic and Antartic
circles, because he is to be found about
the polls.
He is like the Iron man, because
he finds profits in steel.

An Unsuccessful Failure.

The habit of falling with a full
pocket got something in the nature of
a setback not long since in a small
Texas town,
The unfortunate man Kept small
grocery store. He sold out the stock
for cash, put the money in his pock.
ct, and settled down to have a good
time. His principal creditor,a Hous-
ton merchant, having arrived in the
town, called on the bankrupt. He
was a well-dressed gentleman, but
there was gritty sort of look about
him.
"You say there are no assets" he
remarked.
MARY asset"
II think that there should be some
assets, and that 1 ought to be pre-
ferred creditor"
'There are no assets, and all my
creditors are deferred creditors. The
only asset that I've got for my credi-
tors is Waterbury watch, and it
will take six months to wind it up.
You can have it. if you want it,"
II want no humbug about this.
Where is the money you!got from the
sale of the groceries ?"
"It's right here in my pocket" he
replied.
"Well, you are cool ore.''
"I'ye got the money right here land
Pm going to keep it," replied the
bankrupt, tapping his pockst.
"Got it in your pocket ?"
"Yes, in greenbacks."
The creditor placed his hand in his
own pocket, and looking steadily at
the bankrupt, said
"I've got my pistol in my pocket
don't you move-and it never fails.
If you don't give me the contents of
your pocket I'll give you the contents
of mlne," and before the astonished
bankrupt could reply he was looking
down the muzzle of a pistol that
seemed to be as big as flour barrel.
The Houston man got his money.
The unfortunate bankrupt says that
his failure was the most complete
failure on record, and he feels as sore
as man who pounded his finger
with tack hammer.

ELLICoTT CITY, Md. 6 s, 1854.
Dear SIR IL nave been a sufferer
for long time with dyspepsia, and
have tried most everything in the
way of medicine, but nothing gave
me any relief. / procured one bottle
of your "ARoMANNA," land had only
been taking it about six days when |
began to feel it was doing me good.
I told a number of nv neighbors
what it had done for me and they
commenced using it, and all agree
with me that it is the only medicine
that will do all that it is recommend
ed to do. One thing about "ARo'
MAMMA" while it is acting and
cleansing the system it does not weak
en-, but builds up. adds new strength
and imparts new vigor. l do not
think can say too much in favor OF
it. You are free to use my name in
any way you see best, to proclaim the
merits OF "AROMANNA." 1t will pay
any sufferer to try it.

Facts From History,

William the Conqueror originated
the curfew bell, which was rung at 8
O'Clock in the evening, to warn the
people to put out their fires and can
dles-a law made with the good in
tention of preventing the terrible
conhagrations that often happened in
the towns, when so much wood was
used in building.
During the reign of William the
Conqueror, the absurd mode of trial
| by ordeal, which had been In general
use among the Saxons, was discon-
tinued, and the Norman fashion of
settling legal differences by single
combat was brought into England.
In the reign of William Rufus was
introduced the fashion of wearing
shoes with long points. turned up be-
fore and fastened to the knee with a
chain. The clergy endeavored by
their preaching to abolish this ridic-
ulous custom; but the people still
persisted in wearing long points
to their shoes. in spite ofall 0pposi-
| tion.
Before the Conquest surnames were
not used in England but the Nor
mans adopted a second name by way
of distinction, and it usually expi ess-
ed either some personal quality, as
Rufus the Red, or indicated some
post at court, or was the name of the
family estate in which last case "de"
was prefxed.
In the reign of Henry l., when the
rents were due, the king made what
was called "a progress" through his
estates, accompanied by a train of
mobiles, knights, squires and d0mes-
tics of all sorts, as cooks, cOnfectiOn-
ers, tailors, BARRIERS, and others, who
travelled on horseback or in very
clumsy vehicles. The progress"
was made for this reason, that as the
tenants could pay but very little of
their taxes in money, the rest had to
be taken in "kind"-that is, cattle,
corr, poultry, pigs, or anything else
they had; therefore, as the king
could not take away all these things,
he and his follOwerers remained at
each place feasting, until they had
consumed provisions equivalent to
the taxes.
In the reign of Henry II. carpets
were not in use, and ii was considered
the height of grandeur to have the
floors strewed with clean straw or
rushes every morning.
Coats of arms were brought in
fashion in the time of Richard l. and
were adopted that the knights who
were cased in armor, might be known
bv the devices on their shields.
In the reign of Henry Ill, char
ter was granted to the inhabitants OF
Newcastle authorizing them to dig
for coal, which had not before been
much used for fuel; but it was long
time before it came into general esti-
nation. The only people who pur-
chased it for fuel were brewers. dyers
and others, who required large fires.
subsequently the use of coal was for
hidden on account of its smoke.

This includes only those whose
death while in the army has been
actually proven. To this number
should be added, first, $4,000 men
who are known to haye died while in

Of war, and many others in the same

recorded; second fair percentage of
the 205, ,794 men who are put down on

frequently disappeared who it was

private cemeteries all over the north
who died while at home on furlough.

Interesting War Figures.

XFrom official records of the War
department., based on the losses
sven and the total number of men
furnished by the states and territories
during the war, it appears that:
Out of every sixty-fiye men one
Was killed in action.
Out of every fifty-six men one man
died of wounds received in action.
Out of every thirteen men one man
died of disease.
Out of every nine men one man
died while in service.
lut of every fifteen men one man
Wa aealtured or reported missing.
k0At of every ten men one man was
W0nnded in action.
Outof every seven men captured
one man died in captivity,
D.hcial returns show that about
- Gee soldiers ealisted during the
war, in response to the successive calls
of President Lincoln, and that of this
number 1S6,097 were colored troops.
OF this number
New York furnished 467 ,047 men,
Pennsylvania furnished 366, 107
men,
Ohio furnished 319,659 men,
Illinois furnished 259, ,147 men,
Indiana furnished 1877. .147 men,
Massachusetts furnished 125,048
men,
Missouri furnished 100, Ill men.
These men do not include men who
enlisted for shorter period than 80
days, and estimating on the basis of
New York's enlistment of 1923, it
is fair to calculate that the aggregate
of troops furnished by the states for
the Union armies was at least 3,000,-
0O0.
Additional reports show that the
northern ami southern armies met in
over 1000 skirmishes and battles. In
l48 OF these conflicts the loss on the
Federal side was oyer 500 men, and
in at least 10 battles over 10000 men
were reported lost on each side. The
appended table shows that the COM
bined losses of the Federal and con-
federate forces in killed, wounded
and missing in the following engage
ments were: Shiloh, $4,000; Antie-
tam. SO COO; Stone River, $1,000 /;
Charlottesville, $4,000; Gettysburg,
$4,000; Chickamauga, 80, 1000; McCleI'
lan's Peninsula campaign, $4,000 !;
Grants Peninsula campaign, $50, 900,
and Sherman's campaign, 125, 200.
Official statistics show that of the
5000, ,000 men enlisted there were:

It is Much Better

Not to let your sail be bigger than
your boat.
To let your recreation be manful.
not sinful.
To bend the neck promptly than to
bruise the forehead.
To think before you speak than to
speak before you think.
To hold on to your good name; for
1t is of more value than gold.
To put your foot down where you
mean to stand. and keep it there.
To look well to your feet when they
are likely to lead you into the paths
of sin.
To labor to keep alive in your breast
that little spark of celestial fire called
conscience.
To stick to your own opinion, If
you have one, and allow others the
same liberty of sticking to theirs.
