THE NAN AND HIS TRAITS.


He abhorred the Pharisee and ioathed all consci.
entious fraud He had a profound aversion for
those who insist on putting base motives back OF
the good deeds OF Others. He wore no mask. He
knew his friends-his enemies knew him. He had
no patience with pretense-with patriotic reasons
Tor unrnanly acts He did his work and braveIy
spoke his thought. He never turned aside TO avoid
a Zoe or 20 gain friend. In his nature there was
no compromise. To him there were but two maths
the right and wrong. lie was maIigned, misren
resented, and misunderstood, but he would not
answer. He knew that character speaks Iouder
FAR than any words. He was as silent then as he
Is nOw-and his silence, better than any form OF
speech, refuted every charge.
lie was an American-proud OF his country that
was and ever VIII be proud or him. He did nor

In the presence OF those upon whom greatness mad

In the midst OF COW entionalitieS he had the feei

PRIDE and bearing OF the Intellectual Greek OF the

air as though within his veins there flowed the

And as he lived he died. Proudly he entered the
darkness, or the dawn we call death. Unshrink-

The Pres,dent a Good story TELLER.

1t does not seem to be generally
known, hut President Cleveland has
the same habit Of answering a question
by telling a good story that character
lied his eminet predecessor, President
Lincoln. A prominent western Demo-
erat who had opposed President Cieve-
lands line of policy for the first two
years of his administration, turned
around about year ago and began in
print, and public speeches, to be one of
the most earnest advocates ofthe PIesi-
dents denomination and reelection.
Some one asked of the latter: what
have you done to bring u. so complete
ly around, have you given him any
thing?b The President smiled merily:
"Once there were two boys on the
high bank of swift flowing stream
and one tumbled in, and forthwith the
other at the risk of his life, plunged
In and struggled manfully with the cur
rent and his own drowning companion
till succor came to both. When asked
why he had done this and whether the
boy who had fallen in was his brother
or dear friend the brave lad replied that
he had never seen his companion until
that morning when they concluded to
go fishing together, but that the other,
when he fell over the precipice had all
the bait in his pocket, and so for that
reason he tried to get him out of the
water"

A Fort Wayne locomotive engineer
has discovered method by which nat
ural gas may be successfully used for
heating and running locomotives, and
that, too, at cost not exceeding twenty
cents per engine per day. The matter
has several times been thoroughly test
ed on his road. His method is to charge
large and exceedingly strong steel or
iron cylinders with the natural gas at
the wells. These cylinders are then
placed aboard the tender in such q
manner that the gas may be fed into
the fire-box of the locomotive, just as it
is into ordinary stoves, through stop
cock, operated with thumb-screw, by
which the flow of the gas can be per-
fectly regulated. Each cylinder has
proven itself capable of furnishing the
necessary supply for six hours. The
gas thus far used in the experiments
has been obtained from the Dunkirk
wells, which are located on the line of
the road referred to, and as before
stated the experiment has proven en-
tjrely practical and successful. The
cylinders are charged at the wells in
about one minutes time. There is but
little doubt but that this method of
firing locomotives will soon come into
general use, both because of its cheap
ness, the less amount of labor required,
and the fact that the gas can be trans
ported in the sylinders to almost any
distance without losing any of its pow
er. 1t is really wonderful discovery.

Jumping at conclusi ons, and acting
without due consideration and investi-
CATION was ludicrously illustrated in q
small way one morning last week by a
farmer residing near town. 1t was
raining and awakening, he believed it
was daylight, and getting out of bed,
took a look at the clock, a trusty and
reliable time keeper, observed one
pointer between two or three and the
other at six, muttered to himself,
"tWelve minutes after six, and almost
an hour late" He was anxious and
particular about his hours, because he
wanted to milk his COW about the same
hour night and morning. Being late,
as he thought, he mentally called all
the familysleepy heads. fornot awaken
ing earlier. He hastily lighted the
fires, brought in the water, filled the
teakettle, lighted his lantern and
started for the stable in great hurry;
he kicked the cats, seized O stick of
wood to throw at dog, but it ran
away, so he SHE'D it at his favorite
rooster for not Growing earlier so as
to apprise him of the morning. Then
he kicked the cows because they didn't
give more milk. After feeding all the
stock and horses he went into the
house and sat down and painted, and
wondered how long the family would
sleep if there was nobody but him to
get up and stir around in the morning.
While meditating thus he chanced to
look out at the window, and wondered
why it didn't get light faster, and while
looking and wondering an idea struck
him. He took another look at the
clock and found that he had mistaken
the pointers and had arisen at pre-
cisely half past two. There was q
cyclone of mental profanity for short
time, and while he was carefully crawl
ing back into bed his wife dreamily
asked what he had been up for. He
said he thought he heard noise at the
stable and he went out to see what il
was. But said he, II guess I made 9
cussed fool Of myself, for must have
been dreaming. Don't bother me,
want to Sleep"

The Cincinnati Telegram, straight

The Cincinnati Telegram, straight
out Republican paper, says:
The Republicans in the Legislature
are accumulating sorrow and trouble
through their folly. There has been q
pressure from people afflicted with de-
sire to regulate the world, the flesh and
the devil, and they have produced the
impression that they control things,
and that a catastrophe would occur if
they were not catered to. The catas-
trophe is likely enough, but, it will
come because of loing the things these
people wanted done. Temperance leg
islation in Ohio is heavily loaded.
There has been enough fooling with it
and enough consequent disaster to have
warned Republicans with we'll develop
ed commen sense. The Dow law is do
ing well enough. But the highminded
fanatics can not content themselves
with that, and an eternal tinkering is
going on that will set off an explosion
if not soon stopped. The passage of the
amendment to close saloons on Sunday
was meant to injure the Republican
party in the large cities. Everybody
knows it can never be enforced. This
whole matter is in the nature of a boom
for the Democracy in a Presidential
year, when Ohio Republicans have a
winning candidate to present. a few
more such blunders and both John
Sherman's chances and the State ticket
will go glimmering. The Republicans
of Ohio are very like the old man who
put his neck in the yoke with the calf,
and, being dragged off by it, crying
nIf. tHnra we fCo al
souls! Head us off somebody"
The above acknowledgment that the
open saloon on Sunday, in the large
cities, is in the interests of the Republi-
can party is very significant.

reputation must be we'll founded, and
as this is assured by dealers and the
press in all climates where all phases of
| bodily ailments are encountered, its
adaptation to the cure of pain, its
prompt and perfect action, bring it
nearer perfection for household use. Its
application is so simple child can use
| it, and the directions for use are given
in every spoken language. 1t is adapted
to all kinds of climates, to all phases of
rheumatic and nervous pains A few
samples of q general nature will show
its wonderful effects. Mr.. WilIet F.
Cook, Canal ajoharie, N. Y, writes Febru-
ary 10, 1887: "Awoke one morning
with excruciating pains in my shoulder.
Tried various reliefs for sudden pains
without effect; went to my office; the
pain became insuferable; went home at
II o'clock and used st. Jacobs Oil; ef-
feet magical, pain ceased, and at |
o'clock went to work; cure permanent"
Mr.. David Lawrence, Lowell, Mass,
October %, 1885, states: Had severe
attack of rheumatism in knee, tried
many remedies without relief; tried st.
Jacobs Oil; was promptly cured; no re-
turn of pain in several years" Mr.. Otis
L. Hathaway, Fall River, Mass, Octo-
Der 10, 1856: "Was troubled with rheu-
matism in arm, and could not raise it.
Used st. Jacobs Oil; first application
relieved and two-thirds of bottle
cured; have had no trouble since, now
several years ago." Mr.. Percy A. Fol-
som, Bloomington, Ills, October IS,
1885: "Had rheumatism all my life,
till 1880, when it was cured by st.
Jacobs Oil. 1t had settled in my ankles,
and had to walk with cane; used one
bottle: in short time pain was gone;
have not had touch of it since" Mr..
Niekenthal. Strassburg, Ohio, Nov. A.,
1886: "Had rheumatism in my shoul-
der, cured by one bottle st. Jacobs Oil.
First application greatly relieved and
was cured completely. No return in
seven years" These are samples from
hundreds of how it works its wonders.

one exclamation:
slow blind" But whom he meant,
whether his class or the laborers, did not
appear from his tone or from the bitter smile
on his lips. John Graves would have told in
o moment that the young proprietor meant
no good to his help. The man had had q
glimmer of hope that Philip Breton might
only be waiting for an opportunity, but this
interview had dispelled it from his mind.
1t was some little time afterwards that
Philip left his counting room and made his
way up't the street. He was dressed in SOM
berest black and his silk hat was subdued
with wide band of Grape. But his dress
was no more melancholy than his face.
When under pressure of business, one would
not have noticed it so especially, but the in
stant he was thrown hack upon himself, his
fnce became as sad and hopeless as the face of
the most wretched laborer in his mill. Ho
vas tasting the most bitter dregs in life, he
thought What soul could be more crushed
than hiss The time was when it would have
been impossible for him to see human crea-
tire suffer without thrill Of sympathy. 1t
you'd have seemed cruel and unnatural
stroke of fortune, which 1t was for him to
prevent or cure. But he had learned better,
he thought Suffering was common to all;
there was no good Of trying to patch up this
ife or that; tho terrible disease was forever
at work. Conditions made but little differ
ence; rich and poor, high and low, agonized
together over some form Of broken hope,
some unsatisfied hunger.
The chapel door stood open, and he stopped
and looked in. 1t was here Bertha and he
were to have been married, And it would
have been before this--but now. He saw the
place where they would have stood together.
The church was empty and he walked softly
in, as If afraid Of disturbing the ghosts of his
dead hopes, who haunted yet, perhaps, the
sacred spot they glorifed in all the dreams Of
bis early manhood He walked wearily UP
the echoing aisle and threw himself into a
seat. He bowed his head upon the bnck Of
