Are We to Have War?

Some political prophets aver that we
shall. BE that as it may, the battle waged
by medical science against disease, will
never cease until we arrive at that utOpian
epoch when the human family shall cease
to be afflicted with bodily ailments. One of
the most potent weapons which the armory
of medicine furnishes, is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which is of special utility
as family remedy, as it is adapted to the
immediate relief and ultimate cure of those
disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels,
which are of cOmmOnest occurrence Indi-
gestiOn, billiouSneSS and constipation are
inseparable companions, and these ailments
are completely eradicated by the BitterS.
But the remedial scope of this surperlative-

also nervous ailments, rheumatism and kid

which I have seen performed among
savage and demi- savage peoples have
been grotesque, and to certain degree
voluptuous. Here for the first time a
performance was given which would
have held it's own before a serious
aesthetic"
Contemplating this remarkable feat,
and listening to the strange, rhythm
of the songs of the amazons, who, even
after a performance of several hours,
showed no sign of fatigue, the delight
ed Germans spent the evening, and
next morning were invited to similar

a War Mules Strategy.

Gen. Martin BEEN related recently,
to a Chicago Journal reporter, the
following interesting incident: The
9th Illinois Infantry was mounted
principally on mules on the Atlanta
champaign, and somewhere near there
the regiment, while IN advance, had a
hard fight with q large force of the
enemy, and were at last compelled to
fall back DR.. Grelick, the surgeon of
the regiment, and who is yet living at
Alton, in this State. found his mule
wouldn't run, but contended itself
with kicking and "bucking" as the
surgeon applied the spurs. He coax
ed, demonstrated and spurred all in
vain. and all this time the rebel skir-
mish line kept coming closer, until at
last one OF the enemy rode up IN the
rear Of the Doctor and demanded his
surrender. The Doctor had all he
could do to keep in the saddle, and
when the demand was again made, he
petulantly replied, .Well, blank it,
am willing but you can see for your

didn't satisfy the rebel. and as the
Doctor was bounding up and down on
the mules back the skin misher opened
fire from revolver at close range on
the Doctor. This made the latter in
dignant, and whipping out his own
PISTOL he began firing over his own
shoulder at the rebel, whom he knew
was somewhere in the rear, but whom
he could not see or pay any attention
because OF the imper1ous demands
made upon HIM by the mule. The
danger from death seemed equally
great from beneath as from tbs rear.
Fortunately one OF the Doctors ram
dom shots struck the rebels horse,
which caused it to break beyond the
control OF it's rider and carried him
rapidly past the Doctor toward our
side and as he went flying past the
mule saw him ane instantly gave
chase, bring the Doctor soon up IN
rear Of the rebel whom he covered
with his pistol and actually brought
him a prisoner in our lines! OF course,
the Doctor was glad enough to COM

and not condemn it for it's character

The Worship of Wonderful
Springs,

Popular Science Monthly for March.
From the most remote time the
beneicent springs that jet from the
interior Of the earth have excited the
gratitude and admiration of men
Like the sea and rivers they have been
deltied by the peoples OF the Indo-
European family, and the worship
that has been given to them, and the
fables with which superstition has in
vested them, express the degree to
which popular imagination has been
struck by their mysterious origin, their
ineEhaustible flow and their secret
properties. The Greeks attributed to
the fountain of Dodona, in Epirus, the
faculty Of discovering hidden truths
and uttering oracles. The fountain
OF Eserla was supposed to possess the
same power, and was entrusted to
the guardianship OF the Vestal Vir-
gins. The fountains OF Castalia, on
the flank OF Parnassus, OF Hippo.
creme, near Helicon, were believed to
communicate the poetic spirit
The Gauls had special veneration
for the springs to which they went in
search of health. The old romances OF
ChivaIry in their fancies of q fountain
OF youth, where spent forces and lost
charms could be recovered. were only
reproducing q myth Of old Greece
The perennial nature OF springs,
which was for q long time regarded as
sacred mystery, was also their most
striking characteristic to those who
sought to explain it without reference
to religion and poetry. According to
Aristotle's idea, which was adopted
by Seneca and prevailed till the six
teenth century, the interior of the
earth contains deep cavities and much
air, which must necessarily be cooled
there Motionless aud stagnant it is
not long IN being converted into wa
ter by q metamorphosis like that
which, in the atmosphere, produces
rain drops. That thick shadow, that
eternal cold, that condensation which
is disturbed by no movement, are the
always subsisting and necessarily act
ing causes ofthe transmutation OF air.

a Short Lived Society.

The Chicago Mail thus tells about q
matrimonial society OF doubtful use
fulness:
A society for the promotion OF
matrlmony was recently organized
among a few members OF a Cincinn at
social club. According to the consti-
tuition and by laws the membership
was limited to eleven, and only I'M
married men were eligible. The plan
was a good one as far as it went, and
began by each member writing out a
note for $50 COR each member of the
club, payable upon the day OF his
marriage. By this means it was in
tended that each member should re-
celve $500 on which to furnish a
home and begin life In theory the
society was d great success, and
things ran along swimmingly for near
~ two months, when suddenly one
OF the members sent out invitations
for wedding. That brought the
workings OF the society down to plain
practice, ard The givers of the ten
notes began to talk OF resigning from
the society. One of them happened
toremember that the fellow about to
embark upon the sea OF matrimony
was the prime mover in organizing
the society, and tumbled to the fact
that the whole thing might have been
a scheme. This provoked all sorts
of stories, and the result was that
only three Of the members paid their
notes, and the society for the promo.

Few Ac tresses Are Pretty In
Private Life.

There is Lolita, says a writer in the
New York York Press, fascinating as
q white kitten on the stage, who
would recognize her in the red headed,
freckled- face little woman black berry
ing IN a calico dress, tin pail in hand,
that you meet in the woods about
Lake George? Ellen Terry? One
would know her anywhere, to be sure.
Still, tallfgure with bounding step
might brush by on Oxford street or
.Piccadilly before you realized that the
rough Newmarket and somewhat bat
tered hat was worn by a woman
whose beauty people forget to ques-
ton and who leaves her paint pots in
the theater dressing-room.
We owe Miss Terry good deal. She
IS the only actress of fame who does
not insist on telling, through public
advertisements. what make Of powder
she prefers and whose perfume goes on
her handkerchief. Neither does she
lend her face to the soap maker or
tobacconist, nor her characteristic
autograph to anybody's BALM or To-
ton. We, too, have been spared a
catalogue of her body-linen. To this
day an admiring public is ignorant as
to whether it's pet actress wears silk
or wooden next her skin. Neither has
she conJured us in the magic name of
Worth OR Pingat. Yet who could wish
her to dress her part differently.
The stars who. in the detective light
OF the sun, are handsome are exceed.
lnglY rare. The two most noted ex-
amples are Mary Anderson and Mrs.
Langtrv. The latter is fast losing her
fine lines and freshness, but her ex-
quisite dressing does something to
deaden the sense of loss. At least it
abstracts, the eye.
Mary Anderson is always hand
some woman, and this is largely due to
the fact that she has q complex on
more English than American in it's
bloom. She is careful almost to pre-.
clslondn her toilet, and if seen in q
negligent is certain to be both elegant
and becoming.

The women in Russia do two thirds

Richard Cook, alias Charles Jones,

The case is peculiar one.
Cook, or Jones, as the case may be-,

Marietta street merchant under one
OF his names, and then sent his cook
to buy provisions under his other
name. He was in court recently, and
his case excited good deal of CON-
ment.

call me Jones and sometimes Cook. I
think both OF 'em are right good

The darkey admitted that the bill
OF Mr.. Blankton is correct in every
particular. and promises to pay as
soon as he can. It seems that the
negro don't really know his name,
and changes his alias as circumstances
or Inclination may prompt.
