All the Men were Isaacs.

The daughter of 8 clergyman ill thiL vicinity, who had learned to read fairly we'll, recently asked her fathers permis- sion to read aloud the Bible to poor, old, bed-ridden woman. Remission was granted and once or twice week the little girl took her Bible and read 8 chapter to the aged invalid.
 A week or two passed, and the clergy man himself paid call upon the old woman, and before he left, he asked her how his daughter pr, gressed as reader of Holy Writ. The old woman replied enthusiastically that the child was an angel, and had read her some beautiful passages in the life of Isaac.
 About month later, the reading of the Bible having continued under the same auspices, the clergyman once more called upon the old woman. Naturally he repeated his inquiry as to his little daughters reading. and was surprised when the old woman replied: "Well, she reads very nicely, sir, but I'm get ting g little tired of hearing about Isaac"
 "Doesn't she read from other parts of the Bible?" the good minister asked, for he was puzzled.
 "It may be other parts, sir, but it do all be about Isaac" ths old woman made answer.
 As>soon as he reached home the cler- gyman called his youngest daughter to him and asked her why she had such a preference for the history of Abraham and Sarah's first-born. "You see, papa, can't read very well yet, and those long names do bother me so that I thought old Mrs. Brown wouldn't mind if called all the men Isaac, and that's why."
 So by this simple plan Jehosaphat and Jeroboam and Nebuchadnezzar and Mel chisedec and all the rest of the polysyl- labic srrnames had been transformed into the simple and easy cognomen of the second of the patriarchs. Pitts6urg DisDatch

MAYvILLE, N. Y., Dec. 2, 1885.
 am glad to say, from g long personal ex- rerience with ALLcoCK's POROUS PLAsTERs, that am able to endorse all the good things that have ever been said about them, and SUD- plement these by saying that frankly believe their value cannot be estimated. Their breadth of usefulness Is unlimited, and for prompt and sure relief to almost every ache and pain that flesh is heir to, no other remedy, in my opinion, either external or internal, equals them in cer- tainty and rapidity. I have used them at one time for rheumatism, another for backachs. again for bronchitis always with the same rs- sult-a speedy cure L. T. HARRINGTON.

to his room, he said that he had known
Bell and his wife for some time, and
had been on most friendly terms with
them. He says he has always treated
them with the utmost respect, and no
action or word of his was ever of
nature to inspire any such assault as
that of yesterday. Murray presents a

Annual Ele Ction of The Mllwaukee---A
Receiver Takes Hold of Hunt
inat0n's Short Line.

The St. Paul & Kansas City road has
decided to meet the Burlington e.
Northern rates between Chicago and st.
Paul, ignore the interstate commerce
law, and undertake to justify its aclion
under the law, as will be seen by the
following communication from Mr..
Hanley to the interstate commerce COM
mission:
Chicago, st. Paul & Kansas City Rail
way company, st. Paul, Mimi, June 2,
1SS3.-To the Honorable Interstate Com
merce Commissioners. Washington, ID.
c. Gentlemen: Owing to the action of
competing lines covering rates between
Chicago. ST. Paul and Minneapolis, this
company has been obliged to promul-
gate since the 18th day of last February
no less than nine different tariffs, and,
having regard to the principles of the
Interstate commerce law, this has re-
Quired US nine times in 113 days
to readjust rates all over our line.
No longer ago that May % last, at a
meeting of all the roads interested in
the traffic between Chicago, st. Paul
and Minneapolis, unanimous agree
ment was arrived at to put into effect
June a tariff covering the traffic,
schedules printed, and the necessary
ten days notice was given by all the
companies.
Before the ten days expired, we were
notified by the Chicago, Burlington &
Northern company that on the 18th day
of June, 1888, instead of the tariff
agreed upon, it would put in
effect between Chicago and st.
Paul and Minneapolis ma
terially lower schedule of rates.
This company is not prepared to sur
render its business between these
points, and at the same time it does not
desire to disturb rates all over Mime
sofa, Iowa and the states west of the
Missouri river for the tenth time in less
than three months, which a readjust-
ment of its rates over the whole line in
accordance with the long and short
haul clause Of the interstate commerce
law would necessarily bring about, and
have, therefore, determined to as
sumo the responsibility of meeting
this competition between Chicago and
st. Paul and Minneapolis without read
juSting It's rates at intermediate points,
and if complaint is made will attempt
to justify its action under the law.
We feel it our duty to at once notify
you Of our action, and inclose the tariff
which we propose to put into effect June
