He Knew Him Sure!

A correspondent, writing from the
central portion of our state says, a
good anecdote about Levi Fuller is
passing from mouth to mouth, causing
a broad grin all over the state, that
ought to be embalmed in print.
One day during the last session OF
the legislature Levi struck favorite
attitude on his presiding throne, evil
IDENTIFY designed to impress all behold
ers with awesome wonder at his i'm
mense profundity. Leaning forward
slightly in his official chair, his right
elbow resting on the desk in front and
the ends of his fingers partly support
ing and occasionally gently tapping
his narrow elongated forehead with
down cast eyes, his whole attitude was
carefully calculated to suggest deep
abstraction and profound meditation.
He was evidently posing as great
and -burdened statesman, putting
in some of his heaviest ticks of brain
work. Just then stranger in the
lobby caught sight of this impressive
figure, and turning to his neighbor,
(who happened, by the way, to be
one of the keencst observers and
sharpest wits of the state) said:
"Who is that great man on the pre-
siding chair?'
"That is Lieut.. Governor Fuller, "
was the reply.
"He seems to be in deep labor and
trouble about something-what is it p
81 suppose the - fool thinks
he's thinking" was the instant re-
spouse.
You can bet your bottom dollar he
knew Levi Fuller from the crown Of
his thin head to the sole of his splay
foot, and don't you forget it

County Officers,

Doubtless in short time, at least,
the Republican County Convention
will be called and, so far as we are
advised, no movements open to the
ewes of the public have been made.
Rumors of pipe laying and fixing, in
quiet way, has reached us, and it
would be strange, indeed, were not
some such work being put in. One
of these rumors relates to the Sena-
torship for the northern end of the
county, and although this alleged
quiet manipulation is believed to have
an underlying strata of truth, yet,
owing to the well known antecedents
of the man proposed, it can as yet
only be regarded as absurd. Owing
to the close relationship held by the
SITTER with the people of this end of
the county we believe we are justified
In saying that they will present two
candidates for the consideration of
the convention: One, A. f. Cud-
worth, Esqr., of Londonderry, for
States Attorney, and the other j.
Q. Shumway of Jamaica, for Sheriff,
both clean, capable men, worthy of
the support of the Republicans of the
county. Further than this we will
present no other names. In relation
to the Senators we beg to say, dis
claiming any wish or intention to die
tate, in the least, that our representa-
ton in the Senate two years ago was
so heartily in sympathy with the best
elements of the party, and in the
most perfect accord with the views
and feelings of the common people,
among whom we are proud to reckon
ourselves, that it would be very pleas
ing to us to see these same gentlemen
re-nominated and reelected, as they
would be, overwhelmingly.

Yesterday demonstrated that the
interest in Memorial day still stead
lily gains. Throughout the great 10y
al North, in village, hamlet and city
the day was observed with appropriate
exercises. Apropos we append an
extract from an address by Col. In
gersoll, delivered a few years ago:
"The past rises before me like a
dream. Again we are in the great
struggle for national life. We hear
the sounds of preparation-the music
of the boisterous drum-the silver
voices of the heroic bugles. We see
thousands of assemblages and hear
the appeals of orators; we see the
pale cheeks of women, and the flush
ed faces of men and in these assem-
blages we see all the dead whose dust
we have covered with flowers. We
lose sight of them no more. We were
with them when they enlisted in the
great army of freedom. We see them
part from those they love. Some are
walking for the last time in quiet
woody places with the maidens they
adore. We hear the whisperings and
the sweet vows of eternal love as they
lingeringly part forever. Others are
bending over cradles, kissing babies
that are asleep. Some are receiving
the blessings of old men. Some are
parting with those who hold them and
press them to their hearts again and
again and say nothing; and some are
talking with wives, and endeavoring
with words spoken in the old tone tc
drive from their hearts the awful fear
We see them part. We see the wife
standing in the door, with the babe in
her arms-standing in the sunlight
sobbing-at the turn of the road 9
hand waves-she answers by holding
high in her loving hands the child.
He is gone, and forever.
We see them all as they marcel
proudly away under the Haunting flags
keeping time to the wild, grand music
of war-marching down the streets Of
the great cities-through the towns
and across the prairies-down to the
fields of glory, to do and die for the
eternal right.
We go with them one and all. We
are by their side on all the CORY fields
lin all the hospitals of pain-on all
the weary marches, We are with

them in ravines running with blood

them in ravines running with blood
in the burrows of old fields. We are
with them between contending hosts
unable to move, wild with thirst, the
life ebbing slowly away among the
withered leaves we see them pierced
by balls and torn by shells in the
trenches, by forts, and in the whirl-
wind of the charge, where men be-
come iron with nerves of steel; we
are with them in the prison of hatred
and famine; but human speech can
never tell what they endured.
We see 1000, 900 of human beings
governed by the lash, we see them
bound hand and foot; we hear the
strokes of cruel whips; we see the
hounds tracking women through tan
gled swamps; we see the babes sold
from the breast of mothers. Cruelty
unspeakable Outrage infinite
-Four millions in chains-four mil
lion souls in letters. All the sacred
relations of wife, mother, father and
child trampled beneath the brutal feet
of might. And all this was done I'M
der our own beautiful banner of the
free.
The past rises before us. We hear
the roar and the shrek of the burst
ing shell. The broken letters fall.
These heroes died. We look. In
stead of slavery we see men and wom-
en- and children. The wand of prog
ress touches the auction block, the
slave pen, the whipping post; and we
see homes and firesides, and school
houses and books, and where all was
want and crime, and cruelty, and fet-
tiers, we see the faces of the free.
These heroes are dead. They died
for liberty-they died for us. They
are at rest. They sleep in the land
they made free, under the solemn
pines and hemlocks, the fearful will
lows, and the embracing vines. They
sleep beneath the shadows of the
clouds, careless alike of the sunshine
or the storm, each in the widowless
places of rest. Earth may run red
with other wars-they are at peace.
In the midst of battle, in the roar of
conflict, they found the serenity of
death. l have one sentiment for the
soldiers living and dead-cheers fol
the living and tears for the dead.

A Fable.

A few years ago, away out in the
southwest, on the banks of the Rio
Grande, there existed large party
who were engaged in horse stealing
much to the annoyance of the good
people in that region. Finally this
became appalling 1t was ascertain
ed that their yearly appropriations a.
mounted to AZ horses. Then one
Mills @. Roger, mighty man in
those parts, denounced it as down
right robbery levying of tax upon
the poor laborer and the farmer; and
he waxed eloquent and gathered a
great party around him who said they
would no longer, without protest,
stand by and see the many robbed
for the benefit of few pampered
thieves. Then all this gang and Their
friends arose and said that Roger and
his party were in favor of free horse
stealing. Now this was a serious
charge, for Notwithstanding the mora
sentiment of this section was not OF
the highest order, but few could be
found willing to sanction absolute
free horse stealing. Roger was equal
to the emergency. He bitterly denied
the charge, and to clinch the matter
boldly proclaimed that these men
these pampered thieves, should be
permitted to steal from the dear peo
pie 40 horses, annually. Then all The
people said great is Mills @. Roger
and they sent him to Congress where
he now is, fighting the bloated manu-
facturer, who has been robbing thu
purchaser of AZ per cent on his sales
and trying to pass law that will only
allow him to steal 40 per cent from
the people.

drink composed of rum and some
thing else was called "grog." 1t
originally meant rum diluted in water,
but was more often with cordial or
something of that nature. The name
of "grog," was derived in singular
way. 1t is said that once Admiral
Vernon, in the British navy, and who
was noted tor his generous nature,
was wont to deal out an allowance of
this drink to his sailors. He wore
what is called "grogan" cloak in se-
we're weather, and after a while the
men iestingly designated him as "Old
Grog," hence the name of the mixture.
Every event of more than passing
notice called forth goodly supply of
liquor. One important occasion was
a day that somebody's pig was to be
killed.
Such all occasion required the SER
vices of three or four men, who took
an afternoon to do the work, while
the town took half holiday. Such
an occasion as this would be an utter
fzzle were not large supply of rum
on hand ready to use, and it sometimes
cost the owner more than the pig as
worth to furnish the drinks.
Another occasion of note was cleo
ton day, when every man drank for
the good luck of his tavorite candidate,
and after the event was over again
drank on account of success or hoping
for better luck next year.
Cider did not come into use much

The Famous Moxie No Longer q Secret.
The public have been 80 curious to know the
character of this famous nerve support, the
Company have persuaded DR.. Thompson to
reveal its character. The Moxie plant, aside
from other valuable characteristics, is loaded
with the albuminoids, the only food used By
the nerves. With this fact In view, also, that
the minute structure of the brain and nerve
substance required perfect digestion OF It's
food to the Conscience of water before it can
pass into the nerve substance through their
delicate covering membranes, whose pores
are many times smaller than the blood CORP

are generated in the nerves, and that they,
through this, control the function Of diges-
ton; also, that q weak, exhausted nervous
system could not digest this food to the
necessary consistence for its own nourlsh-
ment, and stimulants were injurious. Then
he conceived the idea of artificial di.

this perfection to help the exhausted
nerves when they were unable to help
themselves. Science had hitherto been unable
to do this but partially, leaving the nerves
only able to absorb . partially dissolved nu-
