COULD FIGHT AS WELL AS PRAY.
An Ohio Minister Promptly Knocks Out n
Ruffian who Insults Him.
IJJrbana 10 \ snecial

An unusual and exciting scene took
place recently at the close of the services in
the Protestant Episcopal Church, known
as Jenkins Chapel, near Cable, this county.
While the exercises were in progress Rich
ard Darnell, burly ruralist, entered the
church and took seat in the front
row. He Immediately commenced an
noying both the preacher and con-
gregation by coughing, hacking, and
making unnecessary noise until the
pastor, the Rev. j. +. Frederick, politely
asked the disturber to quit the church for
the evening. Darnell paid but little atten-
ton to the pastors injunction and con-
tinued. The services over, both men met
at the door. Darnell accosted the preacher,
saying: "Do you know what think Of
your" TO which Mr.. Frederick replied that
he was not very particular what his opin-
ion of him was. "Well," said Darnell,
II think you are - -" The words
had no sooner left Darnell's lips than
the indignant minister landed o terrific
blow in Darnell's face which sent him to
the floor. Darnell, mad and furious,
sprang to his feet and was ready for an
other round. The preacher was in good
condition, and did not lose any time in dis
playing his science in the manly art, but
again promptly knocked his antagonist
down. Darnell came up for the third
round, and the preacher was ready to meet
him. In shorter order than before he sent
his man 10 the floor, and when the latter
picked himself up he arrived at the wise
conclusion that he had had enough, and
the Rev. Frederick was awarded the hon.
ors. Time, one minute.

He carried pack. no begged and he traded;
Sometimes. too, at stealing he tried his hard

Ho got through this world-how he did it un-

He was always at home, in seaside or camp,
Hall merchant, half beggar, but wholly tramp
He sold the maids ribbons, their fortune he
told;
At times he quite slyly took kisses In pay.
The fathers and mothers all paid him in gold
And they counted their goods when tho chef

They watched not their daughters-ah, me.

They were the attractions to this man with tho
pack
He was thirty years old, his eyes piercing and
The misses all gazed on his curly black hair J
He stole all their hearts, and they wished he'd
come back;
They knew not his VOWS were as light as the
air
He promised to marry each girl that he met
That he broke oil his oaths was no cause for
regret.
There are maidens to-day whose bosoms will

Some of the Unaccountab;e Inconsistencies

This is q sort of topsy-turvy world. No
one seems to be satisfied. One man is
strugglingto get justice, aud another is fly

One man is saving up to buya house, and
another is trying TO sell his dwelling for
less than it cost, TO get rid of it.
One man is spending all the money he
can earn in taking a girl TO the theater and
sending Ter flowers, in the hope that he may
eventually make her his wife, and his neigh
Dor is spending all the gold he has saved
to get divorce.
Smith is drinking imported ale to put flesh
on, while Johnson is living on crackers and
walking II miles day TO reduce bis avoir-
dupois.
Tie labo; er with ten children keeps out of
debt on SO week, while many an un-
married bank official with 800 week
can't get along without helping himself to
the banks funds.
Robinson takes sherry to give him an ap-
petite, while Brown, who has wine cellar,
can't touch drop of it on account of his apo
plectic tendencies. The doctor tells Morrill,
that if he doesn't stop work and take rest
he will 60 into decline, and then tells
Blakely that IL he does not abandon his sed-
entary position and go off somewhere and
work on a farm he will die of torpidity of
the liver.
One man is ordered to eat eggs because
they are nutritious, and another is caution
ed to leave them alone because they produce
bile.
One man keeps pistol to protect himself
against burglars, while his neighbor doesn't
keep one for fear OF shooting some member
of fha family bv m staka
You will sometimes see q man planting
trees about his place for the shade; and, at
the same time you will see another cutting
down all the trees about his house b. cause
they produce too much moisture.
One rich man wears poor clothes because
he is rich and can do anything, while poor
man wears fine clothes because he is poor
and wants TO produce The impression that
he is not.
One man is killed by accident, and an
other tries to commit suicide and fails.
One man escapes all the diseases that
flesh is heir TO and is killed on railroad;
another man goes through half dozen wars
without scratch and then dies Of whoop-
ing cough.
The prize-fghter reforms aud becomes a
preacher, while the theological student
leaves his university to become a profess
sional baseball pitcher.
The man with a colossal fortune is usually
obliged to adopt an heir, while the man
without cent generally has sufficient
number of heirs TO satisfy half dozen cap
italsts.
One man won't touch bacon for fear
getting trichiniasis, and another swears by
Bacon because sons people think he wrote

CHARLES LETTER.
BY JrFrIE roRBUsH HANAFoRD.

1t was letter that caused all the trouble;
n little inotfensive- looking epistle, and
vet it nearly drove the man who found il
mad with misery and pain.
1t read as follows:
My DEAR CHARLIE-You can not imag-
inc how much would like to see you. /
can not bear to think how far apart we are.
You said when | was married would for
get you. But this letter will prove how
mistaken you are, for love you as much
as ever. Distance makes the heart grow
fonder, you know. Twill write you long
letter soon. l have much to tell you, but
my time is limited to-day. Do write soon,
and tell me how much you miss me.

II was summer time. The golden sun
shine poured in through open window, the
breezes stirred the grdss, and the sweet
perfume from the flowers was waited into

ize what he had Just read.

Who was Charlie? What fool he was to
think there was such thing as perfect
happiness in this world.

to him now with a new meaning:
"Do not hatter yourselves with hopes of
perfect happiness, there is no such thing
in this life"

some ono spoke mp, and said, Exactly
my sentiments" and how indignant he had
felt as he made reply. lie remembered

could speak from experience, and now

desk as he had found it, lie took from the
back of chair little black silk and lace

to veranda. In q very few minutes he
had descended the steps, and joineda party
of ladies and gentlemen on the lawn.

New York speciaL
The Rev. DIR. s. ID. Burchard was asked
to-day about his recent meeting with Pres
ident Cleveland at the White House. He
admitted that he had q meeting and some
conversation with the President, but that
both the President and himself regarded
the meeting as entirely confidential, and he
did not feel at liberty to state what had oc-
CURED. On being asked whether the report
that he had stated to the President that he
had experienced a change of heart alto
gether in political matters was true, DIR.
Burchard said: 1 have always been Re-
publican. / scarcely know what is meant
by change of heart in politics, but l may
say, so far as my political principles are
concerned, that they are about the same as
they always were. As to my interview with
Mr.. Cleveland having altered them in any
respect, that is not true. / had watched
Mr.. Cleveland's administration up to the
time l met him, aAd 1 must say it had
given me great deal of satisfaction"

A Warning,

The modes of deaths approach are
various, and statistics show conclu-
sively that more persons die from dis
eases of the Throat and Lungs than
any other. 1t is probable that every
one, without exception, receives vast
numbers of Tubercle Germs into the
system and where these germs fall
upon suitable soil they start into life
and develop, at first slowly and is
shown by a slight tickling sensation
in the throat and if allowed to con-
tinue their ravages they extend to the
lungs producing Consumption and to
the head, causing Catarrh. Now all
this is dangerous and if allowed to
proceed will in time cause death. Al
the onset you must act with prompt
ness; allowing a cold to go without
your attention is dangerous and may
lose you your life. AS soon as you
feel that something is wrong with
your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, OBJ
tain a bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. 1t will give you immediate
relief.

Sneezing Catarrh.

The distressing sneeze, sneeze, sneeze. the
acrid, watery discharges from the eyes and
nose, the painful inflammation extending to
the throat, the swelling of the mucous lining,

noises in the head and splitting headaches, =
how familiar these symptoms are to thousands
who suffer periodically from head colds or in
fuenza, and who live in ignorance of the fact
that single application of SANFORD's RAD
ICAL CURE For CATARRH will afford in
Simultaneous relief.
But this treatment in cases ofsimple Catarrh
gives but faint idea of what this remedy will
do in the chronic forms, where the breathing
is 0bstructed by choking, putrid mucous ac
cumulations, the hearing affected, smell and
taste gone, throat liberated and hacking
cough gradually fastening itself upon the de-
bilitated system. Then it is that the marvel
