Summer In q Block Of Ioe.
A LIVE EARTHwoRM FOUND INCAsED IN
THE COLD CRYSTAL.

A large block of ice was taken to the
South Carolina Railway station this
morning to supply the "coolers" on the
outgoing trains-and thereby hangs a
tale. Agent Wells and his corps of
assistants, when they proceeded to
crack the ice-which melts 80 soon

which would have set the New York
papers, fresh IN their attacks on the
bacteria in the Hudson river, agog

what it was. II was live, wiggly,
squirmy earthworm, four inches in
length, in full possession OF his powers
of wriggling, and in fact seeming not
little refreshed by his residence in
his crystal citadel. 1t was a cool re.

taste in the worm, if, indeed he got

Dyspepsia

Makes the lives of many people miser-
able, and often leads to self-destruction.
We know of no remedy for dyspepsia
more successful than Hoods Sarsaps-
rilla. 1t acts gently, yet surely and
efficiently, tones the stomach and other
organs, removes the faint feeling
creates a good appetite, cures headache,
and refreshes the bmdened mind.
Give Hoods Sarsaparilla a fair trial.
It will do YOU good.

Simon Cameron on Second Terms.
From the Nev York Times.

Gen. Simon Cameron, hale and hearty in
in his eighty. ninth year, was the guest of the
Cameron Club in Philadelphia on Tuesday
evening, on the occasion of its banquet in
celebration of its twenty-ffth anniversary.
In responding to the toast in his honor he
said: "When this club was organized the
times we're trying. Mr.. Lincoln was then
looking forward to the possibilities of q
second term, and it seemed to me, who saw
bin frequently at bis period, tat be was
frightened over his chances. He seEt for
me one day and told me his doubts about
the denomination, and l tried TO set them at
rest. l told him that, nc matter how much
his opponents in the party might contrive,
they could not defeat him, and / finally said:
i will tell you An incident in my career dur
Ing President Jackson's term which may
help you out. Near close of the term Of
President Jackson who, like our present
Executive, Mr.. Cleveland, had said he only
wanted one term, but afterwards changed his
mind-[laughter]-I was sent for to come
to Washington from New Orleans, where l
was at the time, to see President Jackson
and advise with him IS to what could be
done toward securing him a second term.
When l arrived in Washington and met Gen.
Jackson ne tOlQ me ne wanted me to do
what l could toward helping him to a second
term. He said: Cameron, will you 20
home aud get the Legislature of PennsYl-
vania to pass q resolution asking me to
stand for . second term:" I said; MOL
can not do that; l am known as q one term
man. But l can have the resolution drawn
up in Washington and get some one to take
it to Harrisburg and have it passed. Laugh
teri This was done, and in due time The
Legislature Of Pennsylvania requested Gen.
Jackson by resolution to reconsider bis. pre-
vious declaration not to be q candidate for
re election and stand for another term, which
be finally reluctantly consented 10 do.
[Great laughter.] / told Mr.. Lincoln this
story, when he said: But what has that got
to do with me:?' TN show you, Mr.. Presi.
dent said l. '1ll 60 to Harrisburg and get
the old Jackson resolution copied and get it
passed by the Legislature, requesting you to
stand for q renomination.' The idea seemed
to please him, and accordingly we got the
Jackson resolution and struck ont Jackson's
name and all about the state Bank, and had
it adopted by the Pennsylvania Legislature,
and you know the rest" [Great ~laughter.]
