A Card From Hon. Thos. ID. Ferguson.

Ed. RNgister-In your Issue of May
ed" that / would not pledge myself to
support Hon. Geo. G. Vest for U. S.
Senator. / wish therefore to state
through your columns that such as
sertion, by whomsoever made. is who'll
ly untrue. But it seems hardly neces-
sary for me to make this statement as
it is known that [ have long been a
member of the "Vest Club"of ST. Louis,
and besides have publicly stated at
Greenville, Thayer, Alton and Van
Buren, that I was and am for Mr.. Vest
personally and would support him if
nominated and elected. Ofcourse if the
Senatorial Convention at Ironton
should instruct me to vote for some one
else, | would regard such instruction
as an expression of the popular will
and act accordingly, as any good DEM
ocrat should do.
Now, Mr.. Editor, this is not the only
lie circulated in this canvass for the
purpose of defeating me, and / am
rather surprised that you should give
credence or publicity to such palpable
Misrepresentation. / am opposed to
such a canvass, as it taxes too much of
Il Ward politician to, in one county,
engage in a county seat or court war,
and in another taking hand in prac-
tional fight, which have nothing to do
with the race for Senator and is not my
style of campaigning. / am not seek
ing the nomination in that or any un-
fair way, and, although l may be de-
feated, / would much prefer TO can
vass of that kind or a victory gained
by such a canvass. Very truly,
t. D. FERGUSON.

Mr.. Henry J. Tucker, of Perry
county, a few days ago, wrote letter
to Senator Vest, rehearsing the same
old 'Third Party" lie that "neither of
the old parties had ever tried to do
anything for the farmers and the la
boring men," We subjoin as much
of Mr.. Vests answer as applies to that
oft repeated assertion:
You write in your letter that both old par
ties have proved false to their trust; and
that the farmers intend to make 4 change in
the Administration of the Government. l
do not think that your statement do justice
to the Democratic party, for it has not been
in possession Of the Government since the
close of the war. There has never been
time when the Democrats held control of
both Houses OF Congress and the Presidency.
In 1878 we had the Senate and House, but
Mr.. Hayes was President, and the result
was his veto of the bill passed by Congress
in which we attempted 10 compel the Ma
tional Banks to fund the public debt at
three per cent. They precipitated a panic
In Wall Street, and forced Hayes to veto the
bill which we were not able to pass over the
veto. In 1850 l offered myself Resolution
in the Senate IN favor of free coinage of sill
yer, and it did not receive a single RepubG-
can vote. Twenty-one Democrats voted for
1t but it was defeated by one majority. 1t
seems that before condeming the Democratic
party, it should have fair chance when in
possession of the legislative and executive
branch of the Government. For myself.
have opposed the National Banking System,
and especially that feature of it which gave
them the power to contract or expend the
currency by purchasing more bonds as
basis of circulation, or retiring those already
owned by them.

The best evidence that Johnstown
has thoroughly recovered from the
disaster of which last Saturday was the
anniversary, is found in the fact that
the business houses were open while
memorial services were being held IN
the churches. The women and few
of the devout male church members
found time to attend the thanksgiv-
ing services, but the majority of active
business people of that place bought
and sold as though no flood had ever
submerged the town. The rapid re-
coyery of JOhnstown from what SEEM
ed practical obliteratiOn, is one of the
marve1s of this marvellous country,
and speaks volumes for the energy
and courage of the American people
under discouraging circumstances, as
well as for the open-handed liberality
which made it possible for the sur
vivors of this terrible, terrible disaster
so soon to repair their losses. The
dead have not been brought to life,
but in most other respects Johnstown
may be said to have within one short
year fully recovered from the greatest
disaster that ever befel an American
community of equal numbers.

From the window he saw the tall ngure
in blue Jeans, the kindly, smiling face
the gesture of affectionate farewell.
About a fortnight later, the young
Bronaut, whose regular occupation In
life was in large Cincinnati banking
house, where he held q responsible posi-
ton, received a letter, which he put
away, after reading, with two gold pieces
in faded silk purse. 1t was written on
blue-ruled paper with pale ink and
signs of spluttering pen, but 1t seemed
to please Mr. Sewall very much as he
read it. This was the letter:
DEAR SIR-Your letter came duly to hand,
also the box with the music instrument by
frate, which took home and unloaded, and
set it up in the parlor before my wire ana
Sphnxy see me.
And then in comes Sphinxy and sets down
and played a piece she learned of her
school teacher, who has got melodeun,
and she says, as she played her piece: raw,
says she, this is an organ with thirteen stops.
and never sposed I'd ever have melodeum
like teacher, says she. And as to where II
came from any thing about it she never
asked no questions.
So no more at present from yours respect

P. S.-My wife presents her compliments
and says tell you we are all very much
obliged, and so we are. Sphinxy went to
town and bought piece of sheet music with
a song about balloon man on 1t, and she
sings it every night when she plays on the
instrument.
The purse and it's contents found their
way back to Sphinxy the next summer,
but Mr.. Sewall keeps the letter.-Min-

To Preserve the Body's Warmth.

1t may not be generally known that,
when exposed to severe cold, feeling
of warmth is readily created by re-
peatedly filling the lungs to their
utmost extent in the following manner:
Throw the shoulders we'll back and hold
the head well up. Initiate the lungs
slowly, the air entering entirely through
the nose. When the lungs are com
pletely filled, hold the breath for ten
seconds or longer, and then expire it
quickly through the month. After re-
peating the exercise while one is chilly,
feeling of warmth will be felt over the
entire body, and even in the feet and
hands. 1t is important to practice this
exercise many times each day, and
especially when in the open air. If the
habit ever becomes universal, then con-
sumption and many other diseases will
rarely, if ever, be heard of. Not only
while practicing the breathing exercises
must clothing be loose over the chest,
but beginners will do well to remember,
in having their clothing fitted, to allow
for the permanent expansion of one,
two and even three inches which will
follow.-Northwes Magazine.

Before the Cholera Comes.

In workshops, factories and places
generally where numbers of people are
congregated together, the removal of
foul smells and evil odorS is often not
only matter affecting the comfort of a
great many persons, but is frequently
OF the utmost Importance on sanitary
grounds. Many solutions of metallic
chlorides are useful for this purpose,
owing to their ready decomposition, and
without being open to the same ob;ec-
ton as the so-called Chloride of lime"
so generally used, the smell from which,
however, is to many people as offensive,
or even more so, than the smell it is in
tended to destroy.

oldest | ever met lives here in st. Louis.
He is an old man, thoroughly educated
in his business and paragon of exact
ness, even for mathematician.
Not many months ago he was called
to East st. Louis to make new survey
of an old line originally run by himself.
On the first survey he had driven Ger.
tain corner stake deep in the ground and
covered it up with large stone When
he came to the spot he got spade and
81 'ancd the soil away from around the
stone, and then cleaned it off nicely
Flth some dry leaves, top and sides.
Next he took out his rule and made a
lraful measurement of the stone. which
= used a moment later on the basis of a
iualation to determine it's weight.
'hea he saw the product his face
llglt'd up with .oy. for the number of
pounds, ounces asd drains represented
therein was within the limit of his lift
ing power. He made no attempt to lift
the stone as means of testing his abil-
ity to handle it, but relied on his ma
thematical knowledge to settle that
point for him. This is the only case
ever knew of where man demonstrated
