The Road to Heaven.

IA map of the road to heaven, by
a soul in purgatory,n writes an author
and literary critic, describing his
ideal, and humorously confessing his
failure to attain it. But il one knows
the right path, he should follow it.
Why, then, suffer in the purgatory Of
disease, when the way OF escape is In
plain sight? As a remedy for scrofu-
IOus affections of the throat and lungs
consumption in the forma-
tive stage of tubercles, catarrh, chronic
bronchitis, tumOrs and morbid
growths of all kindsscaused by impure
or impoverished blood, DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery has neither
q rival nor worthy competitor.
Chronic nasal catarrh positively
cured by DIR. Sage's Remedy.

Washington dispatch of sunda

A Washington dispatch of Sunday
says that the Minneapolis Flambeau club
arrived there in fine condition. They
created great excitement when they ar
rived at the Pennsylvania depot. Fully
1000 people were there to see them
come in. They marched from the depot
up to Pennsylvania avenue in the rain
to the treasury building, making by far
the handsomest appearance of any or
ganization SO far seen. Minnesota is in
front in fine condition, and is the talk OF
the town. Even the uniqueness of the
Cowboy club of Kansas did not excel in
picturesqueness the Minnesota Flam-
beau.

Don't Like Annexation.

ton of Big Stone and Traverse count

the "wild and woody scheme of citi-
zens of Graceville, by an editorial
recognition of their asInity,D and
then gives the citizens of Graceville
particular HIN an article of oyer q
column In length. The Herald Star
editor evidently don't like Graceville
people, and this is the way he goes
for them, because they have seen fit
to advocate the annexation of the two
counties above named:
nHas there ever been q long and
expensive murder trial in the county /?
Yes, just one; man at Graceville

when Gen. Harrison was in tn

When Gen. Harrison was in the
senate he said: ST would like to have
our navy made respectable, SO that an
American naval officer, as he treads
the deck of ship bearing the starry
banner at her head, and looks upon
her equipment and armament, may
feel that she is match for the proud
est ship that walks the sea under any
other flag" All right, Mr.. President.
Now you are in position where you
win have some influence with the
present administration, it is hoped
that you will see to 1t that the United
States has the kind of navy you
wanted when you was senator.

ton II, chapter 4, of the general laws
of 1887 by striking out the words
"town, city or township" wherever
they occur and also the words NEWLY

from perusal of the law OF 1887 re-

The enpense of judges is avoided.

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to ROBUST health
marks an epoch in the life OF the In
dividual. Such remarkable event
is treasured in the memory and the
agency whereby the good health has
been attained is gratefully blessed.
Hence it is that SO much is heard ia
praise of Electric Bitters. So many
feel they owe their restoration to
health, to the use the Great Altera-

with any disease of Kid

There has been no such immense
procession in Washington as the In
augural procession last Monday, since
the grand review of Sherman's army
of veterans in June, 1866. But what
a contrast in the two professions.
Sherman, at the head of his thousands
of veteran troops, who had marched
and fought their way from Louisville,
Kentucky, to Chattanooga, and then
to Atlanta, and from there to the sea,
and from Savannah up through the
Carolinas to Richmond, and then on
to Washington, was a sight that this
country nor the world ever before saw
and perhaps will never again witness.
When all the circumstances and sur
roundings are taken into considera-
ton, it was indeed grand, and worth
a life time to be present and witness
it. What a march and what soldiersl
Thomas old 14th cops marched thirty
three miles q day from Goldsboro,
North Carolina, to Richmond. They
were running a race with the 10th
corps, and beat it badly. We doubt
if the world ever produced q better
body of troops than Sherman's West
ern Army.
The Army of the Potomac passed In
review the day previous. The COM
bined armies of Grant and Sherman
numbered zoe, 900 strong, and the uni
ted columns OF the two armies was
30 miles long, massed In solid column,
and required twelve hours to pass Q
given point. Both armies were
grand, but, as Gen. Sherman said OF
his western soldiers, "They are not
much on dress parade, but they are

He Thought 1t Was Pork Pickle.

Col. Morris H Frost, who was col
lector of customs here in 1859, used
TO tell this anecdote ahont himself.
He was raised il "a Il .-i.. - part of
New York State and c,1:. :, Oregon
across the plains. Il "a " what
table salt was and co..rse salt for
picking beef and polE. He also
knew about epson salts and glauber
salts, such as are given to sailors on
long voyages, but had never seen the
deep bosom of the briny deep; he
had never eeen the ocean. After re.
siding while in Oregon, he came
over to the Sound and was riding on
horseback from the Cowlitz landing
to Fort Steilacoom, The weather was
warm, the road dusty and his horse
very thirsty. At last, through the
dence forest he discovered the glim-
mer of water, and thinking it lake
he drove his horse in to drink. The
animal, in his raging thirst, plunged
his head N up to his eyes, then drew
it up suddenly, snorting and blow
ing. The Col. got off AMI. taking
some of the water in his hand, tasted
it, and exclaimed, pork pickle. by
thunder" A man coming along the
trail at the time explained that it was
the salt water of Puget Sound, and
showed the Col. a brook near by,
whore the horse quenched his thirst.
The Col. when relating this. used TO
say that he was not as green as a
friend Of his from Pike County, Mis-.
sour, who went to Olympia for few
days. He noticed the tides, hut
didn't know what TO make of them.
He told Col Frost that this was tho
strf nGest country he ever saw, for
there was two freshets every twenty
four hour, AMI nary drop of rain.

WHAT AN ARDENT ADMIRER OF
LINCoLN'S SAYS.

To THE Ep1roR: is he7 Rob
ert T. Lincoln Not simply the son
of his father" the great Abraham
Lincoln, but a courtly. polished
scholar and a rising statesman.
What has he done to merit this high
distinction? He is a modest man of
45 summers. During the dark days
OF the American struggle, at the
early age oils wears, willie his re-
nowned father was skilltully guild
ing the affairs of state, he was at the
front, welding his sword in the aid
of liberty. At the close OF the war,
aud after his fathers untimely death.
he returned with his widowed mother
to the city where his father was
nominated-the queen city of the
states-Chicago, There he gave his
attention to the study and work of
lawyer. Never forcing himself into
prominence before the people, who
would gladly have done him honor,
he plodded on his way to the mark
he had set before him, with the same
persi stence of purpose as character
lied the life of his father. And to-
day he is one of the firm of Ishan.
Lincoln & Beale, standing at the
head of the court of Jurisprudence
In the state of Illinois. But during
the past quarter of a century, he has
not been forgotten by the people, or
entirely dropped out of the range of
politics.
The writer we'll remembers the
dark days of Chicago C71). The city
had been laid in ashes, human vul-
lures had swooped down upon her
body polite. but with a mighty ef-
fort the people arose and swept them
from Office. Young Lincoln was
foremost in the fight, and at the
earnest solicitation of friends as
sumed an humble Office, which, how
ever, held the keys to the situation,
and for time justice ruled. When
the second martyred president, Gar
field, came to his nigh Office, Lincoln
was called from his lawyers Office to
become one of the presidents ad-
visors as secretary of war, and was
continued in that office under Gar
| fields successor, President Arthur
Retiring from office with record
unassallable. if he had but said the
magic word, from ocean to ocean the
undercurrent of the people was fol
him. he might have been lifted to
the chair, SO wisely held by his
father. MOI President Harrison, ]
am sure, has not selected Robert T
Lincoln to the highest and most i'm
portant place IN the diplomatic cir.
Gle, simply L because he is "the son oi
his father" He recognizes in hin
the statesmanlike abilities which viii
rank him among the worlds highest
noblemen, and knowing him us do
will venture the assertion that ht
will take his rank as a worthy sue
cessor of the man of letters, james
Russell Lowell.
