From the Franklin County Observer.
DIR. Jones, who held proxy, after
voting for Norton something like 48
times, cast his vote for others, thus
being the only man in our delegation
who at all endeavored to respect the
wishes of the people. He has received
some criticism from Norton's ad-
herents but that his course will meet
the approval of a very large majority
of the people of this county there
can be no doubt. We notice the
criticism end anathemas against him
come principally from those who
promised to support Hutton and
those who promised to support Crews
in the county convention here and
then betrayed those gentlemen with
unblushing audacity. They are hand
some birds to be criticising DR.. Jones
or anybody else.

The Rev. Dr. t. De witt Talmage-His
Fathers Struggles.
The ret option and wide circulation which
the press of the country has given the recent
series Of sermons of DR.. Talmage on the
+ Marriage Ring. show that the words OF the
reverend doctor have even grown in interest
to the public He has reached the zenith of
his fame and influence, as it does seem scarce
ly possible that single minister could attain
wider popularity than that which he now
holds
DR.. Talmage owes his success to hard, un-
Tagging work. The faculty for this he in
herits from his parents. He was born in
Bound Brook, n. J., fifty-four years ago, the
youngest Of twelve children.
In referring to his father DIR. Talmage
says: My father started in life belonging
to the aristoeracy of hard knuckles, but had
this high honor that no one could despise-
Ails sRast tho son of father who loved God and
kept His commandments. Two eyes, two
hands and two feet were the capital my
father started with. For fifteen wears an
invalid, he had a fearful struggle to support
his large family. More than once he came
to his last dollar, but behind that last dollar
he found Him who owns the cattle on
thousand hills, and out of the palm of whose
hand all the fowls of heaven peck their food"
Speaking of his mother. he says: II was
the child of her old age. and remember how
her voice used to tremble in evening prayer,
with what kindness she starred me out in
life, and how she watched me and cared for
me all the way through; and then giving
each one of us blessing she went away to
the palace window, where she is waiting for
good news from us.
After graduating from the University of
the City of New York, T. Dewitt Talmage
studied law for one year But he was i'm
pei ed toward the pulpit, and he entered the
Theological seminary at New Brunswick,
n j. His first charges were at Bellevue,
N J.. and Syracuse, N. Y, From there he
went to the Second Reformed Church of
Phi adelphia. Hers his fame began. After
seven years Of lab.,r here he went, in 1869, to
the Brooklyn Tabernacle which he has since
rendered famous. The congregation was
small, but his preaching soon attracted
crowds far beyond the capacity of the build
ing. A larger structure was erected, capable
of seating 5000 people. This was burned

The Importance of Manual Exercise.

A gentleWoman, who has suffered much
from what she supposed to be an affection
of the heart, was somewhat astonished
and absolutely indignant, when her medi-
cal adviser told her she was suffering from
indigestion. He further told her that If
she would dismiss one of the servants, and
perform the labor herself, she would soon
be benefited. This was mode of treat
ment not at all in consonance with the
patients feelings. She protested shat she
could not discharge trlisty domestic, and
some other course must be pursued.
"Then," said the physician, Il can only
advise you to procure sharp hatchet and
split all the wood required for kindling.a
This seemed cruel, indeed, as the patient
had never performed manual labor of any
sort. with stout gloves and small
pieces of wood the labor will not be
severe" persisted the disciple of Escula-
plus. ts
The remedy was tried. A table of pro-
per height was used as chopping block,
and in a short time the distressing symp-
toms abated, and soon the patient was
happy in returning health. Labor
sweetens life" is an old saw not generally
appreciated, but it is absolutely true.
There are many persons who would rise

under which they suffer could they realize

disinclined to work are usually the ones
who ought to engage in it. II, however,

stretched in the orchard, and on these he
perfected his invention, first telegraphing
from one wire to another forty feet distant.
His first successful experiment in this was
made in 1879, when he was but 10 years of
age. His patent for the inductive telegraph
was issued July IL, 1881, the application
having been made in 1880. This invention
promises to revolutionize the system of
handling railroad trains, and is regarded as
the most important step yet taken relating to
the application of electricity. He also has
valuable improvements on his inductive tele-
graph apparatus, issued year later than
the original patent Few inventors of any
country have accomplished SO much at SC

achievements have naturally attracted

unconscious of the high rank he has taken in
