AN OPEN QUESTION.
Is HARRISON DESCENDANT OF
POcAHONTAS?

1t is popularity believed that President
Harrison is descended from Pocanhontas
and from the parliamentary soldier and
regicide General Thomas Harrison, who
was executed in 1860.
.Pocahontas, daughter of Powhatan
manifested friendliness for the early
white settlers of Virginia when she was
but girl. The story of how she saved
the life of Captain John Smith, who hao
been captured and condemned to death
by her father-how she, on several occa
sions, made known to the settlers theil
danger when about to be attacted-i:
we'll known to all acquainted with the
early history Of America. Her subse
quent marriage with John Rolfe, an Eng
lishman-her removal to England WHERE
a son was born, from whom numerou:
wealthy families of Virginia claim de
SCENTS the basis of the opinion that
President Harrison is one of her descend
ants.
Whether this be true or not it is, how
ever, well known that President Harri
son is a descendant OF a noted family
distinguished alike in peace and war
The name of Harrison is already indeli
bly, written upou the pages of American
history, for General William Henry Har
rison-the ninth president OF the United
States-was the grandfather of Gen. Ber
| Harrison.
The election of another member of tn,
Harrison family is but another proof O
the prevailing disposition of the public tc
return to healthy administration of pub
lie affairs so characteristic of the earlier
years of government. A similar desire
has been manifested for a revival of early
manners and customs in many various
ways, of which mention in particular car
be made of the prevailing demand fo1
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.
After much inquiry and research a
noted manufacture has procured the
original methods used IN their prepara
ton and again under the name of War
ner's Log Cabin Remedies, the public is
possessed of those well-known prepara
tons for the cure of coughs, colds, con
| sumption in its early stages, blood dis
orders, catarrh, dyspepsia, debility, and
other common disorders.
Notwithstanding the large amount o.
time, attention and expense which the
manufacture of Warmers Safe Cure de-
mands-its well-known reputation as tho
only remedy for the prevention and cure
of kidney diseases being world wide-the
manufacturer is resolved to push the
merit ofWarner's Log Cabin Sarsaparilla
to the front because of it's splendid bloo6
purifying properties and great value as
household remedy and spring-time sys
| tenn renovator.
! Pocahontas, during her lifelong friend
ship for the white settlers of Virginia, be
sides her many acts of kindness, is said tc
have contributed much VALUABLE informa
ton to. the log cabin home concerning
the successful methods employed by the
Indians in the treatment of disease AND
it matters little whether the alleged rela
tionship between herself and the Presi'
dent be true or not for the name of Poca
hontas is already immortal:
