A GENUINE ROMANCE.
General Hovey, of Indiana, a Father
in-Law Worth Having.


in-Law Worth Having.
If General Hovey, the Republican can
didate for Governor of Indiana, should be
elected, the happiest man in Indiana will
be Observation-Disclosures Menzies, L. S.
n, Kentucky Democrat, born and bred,
who, came to Peru in his ship while Cen
eral Hovey was Minister to that country
under Grants Administration. IL did not
take the gallant young officer long to fall
in love with the gallant Generals only
daughter.
The General, bereft of his wife by death,
chung desperately to his daughter. But,
seeing that she loved Menzies, he finally
yielded his consent that they should be
married. But ne imposed this condition,
that Menzies should forthwith resign from
the navy and practice law with him, for
by that time he had left Peru and was
going back to his home in Posey county.
Menzies explained that he knew no law
except the little international law taught
at the naval academy
Every good" said the General, in his
hearty way; shat will do very well for a
beginning. You shall study law with me
and I'll live with you"
"But l have no income" protested the
young officer.
"But l have" said Hovey, "and home
and bank account besides. Now, what !
propose is to turn over my house and my
bank account TO you and Pose, and then
I'll come and live with you And when
Menzies resigned the old gentleman full

About Postage Stamps.

There are about six thousand different
descriptions of postage stamps in exist
ence. The museum of the Berlin post
Office alone contains between four and five
thousand specimens, of which half are
from Europe, and the remainder divided
between Asia, Africa, America and Aus
tralia. What country carries off the palm
for absurd and grotesqueness of artistic de-
sign and inferiority of execution, we are
not told, but if the collection is faithfully
representative the variety of ugliness
must be considerable. Some of the stamps,
1t appears, bear coats of arms, and other
emblems, impartlally borrowed from the
heavens above, the earth beneath, and the
waters under the earth-stars, eagles,
Lions, horses, serpents, railway trains. dol
phins and other fearful wildfowl."
There are, moreover, the efigies of five
Emperors, eighteen Kings, three Queens,
one Grand Duke, several inferior titled
rulers and many Presidents In so many
countries and nationalties some really at
tractiye specimens must have been elabor-
ated, but, if SO, it is pity our authorities
did not borrow hint or two from the
best; for anything more bald, monotonous
and commonplace than the British series
of postage stamps down to the latest issue
cannot well be imagined.-Papcr Makers

In Rrisf. and to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered liver
is misery, Indigestion is foe to good ma
ture.
The human digestive apparatus is one OF
the most complicated and wonderful things
in existence. 1t is easily put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food, bad
cookery, mental worry, late hours, irregular
habits, and many other things which ought
not to be, have made the American people
q nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has done q
wonderful work in reforming this sad bust
ness and making the American people SO
healthy that they can enjoy their meals
and be happy.
Remember: Nohappiness without health
But Green's August Flower brings health
and happiness to the dyspeptic. Ask youl

A LEAP FOB LIFE.
An Interesting Southern Story of the Late
War of the Rebellion.

War of the Rebellion.
1t was in the sixties Mitchelps Bridge,
across Mulberry creek, was the tallest in
Harrison county. A swell in the creek
had misplaced an arch, and dozen men
had assembled to repair the damage The
flooring for twelve feet had been removed.
1t was twenty-five feet to the water be-
meath.
Suddenly the hammers ceased and the
men listened intently to the approaching
clatter Of a horses hoofs.
Its Jess, by gannyp said one.
Hes splittin' the wind, too" said an
other.
That little FLY knows how to pick up
her feet, and she don't study about it,
neither" said number three.
Dang my buttonsp
This was said just as the rider appeared
IN sight, presenting picture of robust
manhood, guiding with unerring hand the
deeteSt little mare in Western Georgia.
He was clad in a fine broadcloth suit his
feet in pair of the best calfskin boots, and
they armed and ornamented with neat,
small spurs
On he came
The men were lost in admiration and
otNOd VIII HlOulu duu eyes NlUe open,
transixed to the spot
He neared the bridge
AS if by magic the crowd were awak-
eued to the horrible death that awaited
the man should he attempt to pass over
the bridge.
Stopl stopp shouted the men.
The floors upW
You can't cross p
The horses hoofs struck the bridge.
Head him offP'
He'll be killedp
Stop his horse p
And they all rushed to the middle of
the bridge.
Clear the track p' whooped the impet-
uous rider, and the way was cleared.
He reached the brink The gallant
mare paused-trembled The men stood
breathless. The rider planted himself
firmly in the saddle, gathered the reins
tighter and sank the spurs deep into the
sides Of the mare.
She squatted, leaped wildly into the air
and landed safely beyond the awful gap.
With unslackened pace, and without a
sound save the Gathering of the horses
hOofs, both steed and rider disappeared
over the hill, having surpassed anything
of the kind in the history of Georgia.

DESIRABLE BUILDING LOTS.

IN VIEW OF THE INCREASED PRICE OF
i desirable building lots in Sacramento, we have
come to the conclusion that lots will have to be
made smaller in order to come within the reach
of men of moderate means. Acting upon this,
we recently subdivided that beautiful lot on the
SOUTHEAST CORNER SIXTEENTH AND K
STREETS into four lots and have sold three
within a week. We still have one lot left 'front.'
ing So feet on K street and so feet deep, which
we offer for the low price of S1,25O.
We have now subdiv1ded that desirable lot,
120x160, on the SOUTHWEST CORNER OF Il
AND NINETEENTH STREETS. into five lots, as
follows:

e few old mossbacks we have in our

is but a matter of time, however;
and with a railroad running to this

won't the present freight monopolists

The Weekly Evening Post

The New York Evening Post will
begin, on the third of May, to issue
a weekly edition, having for its prin.
cipal aim the promotion of Revenue
Reform, which has become the pare
mount in national politics. The ez.
istence of an actual surplus in the
Treasury estimated to reach $780,
100000 on the Goth Of June, 1888,
and the further increase thereof I'M
der present laws, are a menace to
all business interests, and a direct
incentive to wastefulness and cor.
ruption in the appropriations of
public money. The attention of the
people having been strongly drawn
to this subject by the President in
his last annual message, the need of
information and popular enlighten.
ment on the questions Of revenue and
taxation has been increasingly felt
in all parts Of the country. It is
the intention of the management to
make a frst-class weekly newspaper
of IL pages. Subscription price 81
per year. A free copy of the first
number will be mailed anywhere on
request. Send address on postal
