An Apparition.

At Broad Ripple, village eight miles
north of indianapolis, a strange appar-
ltlon has been seen lately. One night
last week the appa-ition appeared in
the form of a woman, gliding along the
railroad track to the edge of the river,
and thence to the surface of the water
to the middle OF the stream, directly I'M
der the Louisville, New Albany & Chi
cago Bridge. The persons who OBJ
served these movements were so fright
ened that they did not wait for further
developments This is where the
wreck occurred in January. 1884, in
which six men lost their lives On diff
ferent occasions before passers-by have
been disturbed by visitants, but on no
occasion has the apparition been so Wis
ibly outlined in the darkness.

Travels of a Georgia Negro.
From the Brunswick Appeal.

FROM Inc brunswick Appear.
The visits of the steamboat Tar Heel
to our city has brought out a bit OF her
captains history. He is a colored man
and is named John Swain McBurrows
and is a well-to-do, industrious man
with an intelligent family. His good
wife is stewardness or the boat and his
son is engineer, etc, but 1t is not OF
these we wish to write, but Of his trip to
Liberia.
Several years ago John gathered his
people and his hard earnings together
and put out to New York and there
with about $50 more colored people set
out for Liberia, Africa. then pictured as
the colored mans haven of rest, by the
sea captains who wanted passengers to
that shore.
After sail Of about forty-two days
the party reached Monrovia and, after
looking around short while, selected
place to locate, but Capt. John said he
had already made up his mind that al
though Africa was his "fatherland," SO to
speak, he for one preferred the old hills
around Hawkinsville to anything he saw
there, and while telling timber for a
home ostensibly, his heart was back IN
Georgia, and the mail was bringing back
a letter to his white friends to send him
the money to return.
The money came, and at the expira-
ton of four months and ten days be was
again sailing on the mighty ocean, not
for Africa, but dear old Georgia. He
says the costumes ofthat country didn't
suit him. The climate was too hot and
the natives wore too little clothing for
man who had any respect for decency.
Says he didn't want to stay in any coun-
try where plank were made with whip
saw; the process was too slow. Be 1t
said to the captains credit that as soon
as he got home he raised the money
and brought back those Of his comrades
who were not dead.

some towns the republicans are in a

error of his ways, and been convert

else of reason may win some young

and your minority position be ex-
changed for that of a working ma,
jority. Let the county committee
and town committees, and leading
republicans take this matter in hand
at once and see that no town in this
county shall be without a united
energizing and stimulating and pro
gressive work being done. Never
did man have higher motive thar

TO VERMONT REPUBLICANS.
ADDRESS ISSUED BY THE OFF,
GERS OF THE STATE LEAGUE.
Purposes and Aims of the League
How to Organize and Conduct the
CIubs-DesirabiIity of Early and
Thorough Organization for the
Coming Campaign.

President Proctor of the Vermont
State Republican League ard bis
associates on the ub-committee ap.
pointed for the purpose, have issued
an address to Republicans through
out the state, explaining the nature
and aims of the State League and
urging upon all members of the
party the necessity of early and
thorough organization and Jealous
work for the coming campaign. The
address is as follows:
To the Republicans Of Vermont:
A National Republican League
was organized in New York last
December at a convention called for
that purpose.
In accordance with the scheme
then devised q State League was
organized in Vermont on Feb. Is,
1668,with a membership of II clubs
The purpose of the organization
is to afford some effective medium
in every town by which the national
state and county committees can
more directly and surely reach the
individual elector.
The object of the league is to ad.
vance the principles and promote
the success of the Republican par.
ty; to instil into the minds of voters
those sound political principles of
which we believe that party to be a
true exponent, and upon the main.
tainance of which we feel that the
prosperity of the American people
and the prosperity of distinctiyely
American institutions must rest.
The cherishing of patriotic mem.
cries of former achievements is
beautiful, but an intelligent compre.
hension of the great questions which
now confront the American people
is essential to a proper solution of
them, and the solution we believe tC
be the peculiar mission of the Re
publican party.
1t is conceded that the great need
of the party to-day is more
thorough organization which means
more than the usual temporary ex
pedient of the campaign club whose
methods are better calculated tC
arouse enthusiasm than to convince
the reason; it means such perman
ent organization and the adoption
of such methods as shall serve tc
give each voter a clear understand
ing of the fundamental principles Of

Give Them A Chance !

That is to say, your lungs. Also all
your breathing machinery. Very
wonderful machinery it is. Not only
the larger air passages, but the thous-
andS of little tubes and cavities lead
ing from them.
When these are clogged and choked
with matter which ought not to be
there, your lungs cannot half do their
work. And what they do, they can
not do we'll.
Call it cold, Group, pneumonia, ca.
tarrah, consumption or any of the
family Of throat and nose and head
and lying, distractions, all are bad
just one sure way to get rid of them
That is to take Boschee's German
Syrup, which any druggist will sell
you at 70 cents bottle. Even if every
thing else has failed you, you may de.
pend upon this for certain.
