Another Veteran of Black Hawk War.

MoNRovIA, Los Angeles County, CAL.
July 15.-Editoy of The Chicago Herald
| notice in your paper that gentleman
in Maine was supposed to be the only
surviving veteran of the Black Hawk
war until another turned up in Law
renee county, Illinois. Now, the writer
was a soldier in that war, and if [ say
that I know as much about the little un-
pleasantness as any man that was act
lively engaged it, [ would not be very
far out of the way. I was also volunteer
in the campaign against the Winneba-
goes, five years previous to the Black
Hawk war, and was also at the treaty
meeting held with the Indians at the
close Of the campaign at the Portage,
where Portage City now stands. /
think it would be rather hard to find
another man who was at Portage at that
date. Lest you may think this canard,
/ will say that [ lived from 1888 to 1868
Tazewell county, Illinois, and there
are men in Chicago who know me well,
among them G. r. Cummings, John B.
Cohrs and George H. Harlow. I am in
the eighty fourth year of my age, and
thank God that | am hale and hearty.

The Years Elections

This current year is notably an "off
year" IN general politics. Only eleven
states elect state officers this wear.
Kentucy will hold general election for
state treasurer on Aug. g. Elections will
take place in ten other states on Nov. 5.
On that day
Iowa will elect governor and lieuten-
ant-gOvernOr.
Maryland will elect comptroller and
attorney-general.
Massachusetts will elect governor and
state officers.
Nebraska will elect Supreme court
judge and two regents.
New Jersey will elect governor and
state officers.
New York will elect state officers,
except governor and lieutenant-gov-
ernor
Ohio will elect governor and state
officers.
Pennsylvania VIII elect state treas
urer.
Virginia will elect governor and state
officers
Political interest this year according
ly is centered in the elections of the
newly admitted states, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Washington and Mon
tana, which are now framing their con-
stitutions and will elect full state gov
ernments and legislatures, which will
choose eight new United States sena-
tors. Each new state will also elect
representative in congress, except
South Dakota, which will elect two.
The terms of no United States sena-
tors expire next year, so that election
of members of the legislature this year
IS of interest as bearing on national pol
itics only in cases where members of
the legislature chosen this year hold
office for two years. The senate elect
ed In New York state will vote for
United States senator in 1891 to sue
ceed the Hon. William NJ. Evarts.

Remarkable Nerve

The early history of America is full Of
instances of n en- having great nerve. But
we are rapidly becoming the most nervous
people on earth. The recent increase of
insanity, epileptic fits, headache, back
ache, neuralgia, sleeplessness, nerbous-
ness, dyspepsia, futtering of the heart,
ETC., points to an early decay of the race,
unless this tendency is checked. Nothing
