VIII The Coming Man Take Medicine,

1t is pretty certain that the coming
man will be bald if he continues to wear
tight huts,-and tootlless if he continues
to live upon soft food; and certainly near
sighted, if he continues to live in cities
and only use his eyes upon near objects.
But there will be other changes, easily
foreshadowed by the present drift
of events. Faith in revulsive measures
and medicines for the sick is now almost
a thing of the past. Change Of habits,
change OF food. and the use ofspecifics are
now seen to be better. Change of the
kind of food upon which we live, and the
plentiful use of hot water+the one to
build up new tissue and the other to
wash out and eliminate waste and defect,
i've tissue, with the mildest use of
the atomic specific does the work. Thus
new tissue is formed; the old and waste
is passed off; the system is reiuvenated
and a new lease of life given. Lives
become longer, health more vigorous and
better assured All the revulsive mcdi-
cincs arc seen to be wasteful of life and
attacks upon vitality. HUMPHREYS
SPECIFICS have been doing this pio-
neer work for a generation and when 1t Is
asked "Will the coming man take medi
cine?" it may be promptly answered
NOT MUCH"

heaviest shipments were made before the

all reserved by the company. The fact
that no coal was shipped during the past
forty eight hours has been eagerly seized
upon by the delegates who attended yes

A Blizzard I'm Texas.

GALVESTON, Jan. I6.-The Dakota
blizzard struck the Gulf of Mexico at this
point at l o'clock Sunday morning. caus-
ing a fall in the temperature of 2Oo in two
hours. The blizzard came Upon the city
with remarkable suddenness and without
the slightest warning from the weather
bureau at Washington. The bulletin or

ing weather arriving only thirty minutes
before the blizzard itself. From 62' at
midnight the mercury fell to 29' by day
light and heavy sleet began to fall, cover
ing the city with a coat of ice. By Sun
day evening the telegraph and telephone
wires leading from the mainland to the
city were all carried down by the heavy
coating of Ice which had formed on them
and the city was entirely cut off from tclc-
graphic communication for nearly twenty
four hours.
The weather is the most severe cxper-
fenced here since January 1885.
The mercury to-day indicated 2O'
above zero, and the ground is covered
with nearly an inch of snow. All street
traffic was interrupted during the day wv
ing to the peilous slippery condition of
the throughfaTes.
Owing to the Geographic Interruptions
no reports, regarding loss and suffering to
live stock have yet been received here,
but the general opinion is that the wealth
er is so cold on the coast hat it must be
dangerous to stock in interior and western
parts of the state.
Fort WORTH, Jan. la heavy
storm began here on Saturday night, and
reports of losses are beginning to be re
ccived. A farmer named Williams was
frozen to death in Fannin county, a negro
boy was found frozen to death in a dry
goods box at Cleburn, johnson county,
and a negro was frozen to death in Cook
county.
Communication with the cattle regions
has not yet been opened, but the impress
sion Is that hundreds of head of cattle
were frozen. The mercury ranged from
50 below zero to 100 above on Saturday

THE 9Th MAINE.
The Gallant work at Rappahannock Station.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Since the
publication Of G. n. Drew's story of the battle
of Rappahannock Station, Nov. T. 1863, have
received many kind letters and corroborative
accounts of that battle, and the leading part
which the 9th Me- took in the conflict at that
place, yet there arc a few who dispute the we'll
authenticated statements. For instance, Crit
fifth Lyle, Co. q, 49th Pa, says his regiment
" was in the front line" 1t is well attested
that the 9Th Ne. led the assault alone, and that
the first renfOrcemcnts were the 9Th Wis. fol-
lowed by the 49th and 18th Pa, of the same
brigade, and the 5th Ne. and I2lst n. Y, Of
Upton's Brigade, who gathered in the prisoners
On the right, some time after the first charge.
The 9th Ne lost two-thirds of their num-
Der in the assault, which sufficiently at
tests who bore the brunt of the battle. Let me
quote from a letter now before me- written by
Chaplain u. J. Kelley, from the field, just after
the battle: A mere skirmiSh-line lfor our
regiment was deployed as skirmisheTs) drove a
whole line OF battle from their intrenchments
and held them. Up the ascent, across the rifle
pits, into the intrenchments, where it rained
lead and iron, some portion Of the time actu-
! ally facing more than 10 times their number,
our regiment went alone. They took the in
trenchments and held them for more than 10
minutes, until the 5th Wis, that gallant regi-
ment that never yet gave back, came TO the
rescue"
Listen 10 what another Of the z9th Pa. boys
/ (Corpl B. F. JOHNS, Co. Al, now resident at
/ Chambersburg Pa, wrote me recently: saw
/ the heroic 9Th Ne. deployed in front of Us as
! skirmishers, while the brave old hero, Davy
Russell ordered the charge and rode along
! close up 70 them until the rebels opened on
/ them with grape and canister and railroad
/ spikes, when he dashed back. to US with orders
/ to donble-guick-run and we never stop
/ ped until We reached the rife-pits just to the
right Of the fort where the 9th Die. had the
hand hand combat" That is where the
49th Pa. boys were, and they got there very
quickly after receiving orders, TO their ample
credit. as did also their sister regiment, the
/ 10th Pa. But the battle was then nearly over
aud their duties were mainly TO hold what had
already been captured, a fact which is amply
| attested.
Numerous other regiments poured in from
the witnessing Fifth and Sixth Corps. when thu
fight was found TO be more than a mere Skin
mish; but the 9th Me- must ever hold the pos
Of honor in the history Of that battle.
The dissenting member Of the 49th Pa. had
no eannon-balls TO face when he received hi
musket wound, for at that time the 9Th BE
were holding the fort, which the enemy wert
trying TO recover. Could be review the amplt
and vigorous testimony ] have before me, hi
memory would be refTeshed.-H. T. MATHEWS
