The state Elections.
(From an Independent source.l

The State elections this fall
promise to be of more than COM
mon interest for an off year. The
closeness of the division of the
new House between the great par
ties invests with especial weight the
October results in North and South
Dakota, Washington and Montana,
of which the first-named three are
pretty surely Republican. In Iowa
aud Massachusetts,, where State
tickets are in the field, Republican
victories are looked for, and in
Maryland, Mississippi and New
Jersey the Democrats are equally
confident. Pennsylvania cannot be
considered, in any fair sense,
doubtful State, but it is question
of interest how much the Republic
can majority will be cut down. if at
all, by the Prohibitionists, who
complain of bad faith on the part
OF the Republicans in the recent
defeat Of the proposed anti-liquor
amendment to the Constitution. In
New York, Ohio and Virginia both
parties have a chance. The Repub-
licans, Of course, are hopeful Of
New York on account of their VIC
tory there last fall and the adroit
use Mr.. PIatt has made of the Fed
eral patronage intrusted to him by
the present Administration. But
they have this year to encounter q
new element Of opposition in q
Democratic Governor who wants to
90 to the United States Senate,
who is a politician of experience
aud skill, and who is in . position
to make heavy bids for votes to in-
sure Democratic majority in the
Legislature on joint ballot. Mr..
Plat, also having the Senate in his
eye, will fight hard rather than let
the Governor beat him, and will re-
ceiye the hearty aid of Mr.. Depew,
who would be willing to don the
toga himself if Republican Legis-
lature should prefer him to Mr..
Platt.

AN OPEN QUESTION.
II Harrison a Descendant Of Phca.
hOmeasr

II is popularity believed that President
Harrison is descended from Pocahontas
and from the Parliamentary soldier and
regicide General Thomas Harrison, who
was executed in 1880.
Pocahontas, daughter, of Powhatan,
manifested a friendlincss for the early
white settlers OF Virginia when she was
but a girl. The story of how she saved
the life of Captain John Smith,
who had been captured and con-
demned to death by herfather-
how she, on several occasions, made
known to the settlers their danger
when about to be attacked-is well known
to all acquainted with the early history
of America. Her subsequent marriage
with John Role, an Englishrnan-her
removal to England where son was
born, from whom numerous wealthy fam
lilies Of Virginia claim descent--is the ba-
sis Of the opinion that President Harri-
aon is one of her descendants.
Whether this is true or not it is, how
ever, well-known that President Harri-
son is a descendant of noted family,
distinguished alike in peace and war.
The name Of Harrison is already indeli-
bly, written upon the pages OF American
history, for General VIM. Henry Harri-
son-the ninth President of the United
States-was the grandfather of Gen. Ben
Harrison.
The election of another member
of the Harrison family is but an
other proof Of the prevailing disposition
OF the public to return to healthy
administration of public affairs 80 char
acteristic of the earlier years Of govern.
ment. A similar desire has been mani.
c<n 81 fOr - ~ -,
customs in many various ways, of which
mention in particular can be made of the
prevailing demand for those old time
preparations which were so successfully
employed in the prevention and cure OF
the ills and ailments which frequented
the early log-cabin homes.
After much inquiry and research no.
tod manufacturer has procured the origi.
nal methods used in their preparation
and again under the name Of Warmers
Log Cabin Remedies, the public is pos
sessed OF those well-known preparations
for the cure Of coughs, colds, consump
ton in its early stages, blood disorders
catarrh, dyspepsia, debility, and Other
common disorders.
Notwithstanding the large amount o.
time, attention and expense which thu
manufacture of Warmers Safe Cure de.
mands-its well-known reputation as the
only remedy for the prevention and cure
of kidney diseases being world wide-tht
manufacturer is resolved to push the
merit Of Warmers Log Cabin Sarsapar
lila to the front because Of its splendid
blood purifying properties and grea
value as a household remedy and spring
time system renovator.
Pocahontas, during her lifelong friend
ship for the white settlers of Virginia
besides her many acts of kindness, il
said to have contributed much valuable
information to the log cabin home con
corning the successful methods employed
by the Indians in the treatment OF dis
ease and it matters little whether the al
legged relationship between herself an,
the President be true or not for the namt
of Pocahontas is already immortal.

Some Sound Advice Furnished by q ST.
Louis Bank Tel or.
Do you know that some people can
not be taught the simplest, yet most
important, rules for doing business
with bank? The strictest rules and
laws tho world over appertain to money
matters and land transfers. and in
these the slightest dot of black on the
white paper is taken into account.
Some people. l say, can not understand
this, though reminded of it day after
day. To help this class along and
keep them constantly reminded of the

very frequently violated is in the in
dorsing of check. Should your name
be misspelled on check see what the
error is anl indorse it exactly to Il

neglect to count money before going

the bank with pocketful of loose
money and then arrange it on the
counter in a reckless manner. How
often do you read of men being robbed

reaches over and takes the pile. A |

CHINESE MEDICINES.
The Efficacy OF Precious stones In Curing
Desperate Diseases.


Desperate Diseases.
The medical art in China is mysteri-
Gus and empirical. The medical pro-
fession is regulated by rules almost the
opposite OF those which prevail in
England. In China the doctor re-
ceives fixed salary as long as his
patient Is in good health. II the
patient falls i'll the doctors pay is
stopped until cure is effected. In
England sick person usually tries to
assist the doctor by explaining the
symptoms OF his case. In China this
would be considered an insult to the
doctor. The doctor may feel the pa
tents pulse. examine his skin and
look at his tongue; but he may ask no
questions. He is then expected to
diagnose the disease from which the
man Is ailing and to prescribe a
remedy. The medicine prescribed is
usually cheap and very nasty; but
some drugs are high priced; and there
are certain precious stones which are
believed to be of wonderful efficacy in
curing diseases. Ono of these expen-
sive prescriptions consists OF very
costly ingredients. White and red
coral rubies or jacinth. pearls, emer-
aids, musk, with one or two earths in
special quantities. are crushed into
powder, rolled into pills with gum and
rose water, and coated with gold leaf
This unique medicine Is reported to be
an infallible cure for smallpox, meas
les, scarlet fever, and all diseases
which arise from blood poisoning and
break out in cutaneous eruptions.
The strengthening qualities of this
preparation are said to be quite re-
markable. The Jesuits. who flour
ished in China in the early part of the
present imperial dynasty, affirm that
they have seen men snatched from the
last commissions of death by its judi
cious,pse. =Chambsrs' journal.
"A banker in Lille, France. had the
misfortune to wet eighteen bills of the
Bank Of France. and in order to dry
them he placed them on board at an
open window where the sun shone
upon them. They dried more rapidly
than was anticipated. A gust of wind
carried them into the street, where,
unfortunately, goat picking up odds
and ends at once captured the bank
bills and swallowed them. The goat
was purchased and the bills secured in
very dilapidated condition, but the
Bank Of France recognized its obliga-
tions and redeemed them.
Tho first of the art treasures owned
by Queen Victoria is her Sevres des-
sert set, which is kept in Windsor Cas-
tie. 1t is valued at $250,OOO. This
service was made for King Louis XVI.
OF France, and was purchased by King
George Nv. when Prince Regent. The
ground is of gros bleu. with wonder
full gliding by the renowned Leguay
and exquisite medallion subjects paint
ed by Dodin. 1t will scarcely be cred
tied that this almost priceless service
was for many years in daily use at
Carlton House and at the cottage in
Windsor Park for the private table of
George w., and during that period
twelve pieces disappeared, being re-
ported as broken.
