c. A. r. CHANGES.

Important Recommendations to Life
Membership In the Order.
The following from the Columbus Jour
rdl will be Of interest to G. A. R. men
everywhere:
A resolution was presented and adopted
by Mccoy post last night that caused a
lively discussion for about an hour. The
principal fight was made upon the preanl-
BILE, which set forth that ''the mass of the
membership of the Grand Army view with
alarm the spirit of aristocracy and exclu-
siveness shown In its department and ma
tional encampments, wherein a certain
class is made life members and life dele
gates, having no responsibility to the great
comradeship who have given these honors,
and who will be prompt to repeat them as
long as deserved"
Objections were made to this and Captain
John Grove and Symmes E. Brown were
added to the original committee, and de-
cided to eliminate the whereas" and pre-
sent the following, which was adopted BY
an almost unanimous vote:
Resolved, That 1t is the sense of j. G.
Mccoy post, Department of Ohio, G. A X,
that the life membership In department and
national encampments be discontinued. as
such representation Is contrary to the true
principles of the Grand Army and in direct
opposition to the genius of our free institu-
tions, for which we fought.
Resolved, That the twenty-second en-
campment of the Department of Ohio be
requested to present resolutions embodyine
this idea at the national encampment, to bt
held In Columbus September 12, 1883.
Respectfully submitted,

"Do we shave many people nt their
roomsi" said prominent barber, in reply to
an interviewer who was under the punlshing
process. why, yes; l suppose each of my
hands has five or six customers Of the kind.
They are mostly what YOU newspaper men
term young men about town The work is
almost confined to Sunday afternoon. A
young fellos goes out Saturday night for a
good time, ~hich he usually prolongs until
early in the morning, when he finds himself
loaded up, and the best thing he can find is a
bed He knows that with the amount Of
booze aboard he won't wake up until after
the shops are closed And if he chances to
open his eyes in time he won't feel like STIR
ring out Still, he wants to be ready for
Sunday nights fun, all cleaned up and
scraped.
Some of these jovial spirits tumbled to the
scheme of having the barber come and wake
them up and perform his work at their
rooms. Then it got to be regular thing.
Others adopted the habit, until now the bar
bers at all first class shops put in one to three
hours every Sunday afternoon 1t increases
their Sunday money, and then, too, they are
well treated. The customer arranges for

A King Who Hesitated.

The king who hesitates is very often
lost, just as much as though he were an
ordinary mortal A very interesting dis
covery OF recent date shows that if Louis
XVI had only been i little less dilatory he
might have prevented the taking of the
Bastile, and possibly changed the course
of history. Ii is now clearly proved that
early in 17SS he had given his conditional
approval to plan for demolishing the
Bastile and for laying out the site as q
garden; and plan was actually prepared
showing how the proposed change could
be effected, but the king, unfortunately
for himself, did not at once approve this
plan when it was placed before him. He
said he would think about it, and while
he was thinking other and more stirring
events followed, till presently, on July IA,
1889. the Parisians, tired Of waiting for
the kings consent, pulled down the Bastile
on their own account. The original plan
for laying out the site as public garden
is still in existence, and may be seen by
the curious among the historical treasu, es
atthe National library at Paris.-London

II Removed the PimpIes.

ROUND MOUNTAIN, Tex March %. 1887.
A lady friend of mine has for several years
been troubled with bumps and pimple- on her
face and neck, for which she used various cos
metics in order to remove them and beautify
and improve her complexion; but these local
applications were only temporary and left her
skin in q worse condition
recommended an internal preparation
known a. Botanic Blood Balm-which have
been using and selling about two years; she
used three bottles and nearly all pimplcs have
disappeared. her skin is soft and smooth. and
her general health much improved. She e1-
presses herself much gratthed. and can rec
0mmend it to all who are thus affected.
