Reunion of the Laurel Brigade.

From circular received from the Chair
man of the Committee, we learn that the
reunion of the Laurel Brigade, notice of
which we published last week, will be held
on Wednesday, the 18th of September, at
the Fair grounds at Winchester. As to the
objects, we quote from the circular referred
to as follows:-
"Among the objects had in view, in this
reunion, it is desired that the personal as.
sociations formed during the war, be re-
newed and cherished, and the memories of
characters and of deeds that were noble and
brave, be revived and preserved; that full
and complete roll of all who served in these
commands be ascertained and published;
that proper history of the military opera
tions of each of these commands, and of the
personal experiences of the men who filled
their ranks, be prepared and handed down
to our descendants; that Relief Associa-
ton be formed, by which, from small con-
tributions, q fund may be secured by which
every old soldier who served with US, may
be insured against ever becoming an object
of public charity, or of finding pauper's
grave.
Those who may come on horse back, can
ride directly to the ground where they will
find stabling and forage for their horses.
Comfortable and inexpensive sccommoda
tions will be found in the town, but all who
may bring their blankets, and prefer the
camp fire, will be provided with lodgings 10
the buildings on the grounds.
Abundant and substantial food will be
provided for all on the Fair Grounds.
1t is hoped that all who propose to attend,
will notify the committee in advance"

An Imaginary Conversation.

Reed (Speaker)-If you don't pass the
Elections bill the House shall not pass the
Tariff bill when you send it over to us.
Qnay (Senator)-Ah, don't believe it..
For value received in 1888 the Tariff bill
has got to be passed, and you dare not get
in the way. Money talks.
Reed (Speaker) what is to become
of me if we get democratic House?
Quay (Senator)-What is to become of
you if through your folly we get demo-
cratic President in 1872?
Reed (Speaker)-But think, my dear
Quay, of our dear, suffering colored brother
in the South?
Quay (Senator)-Leave your colored
brother alone. 1t is the North we have got
to save. Drop your Election bill. You are
fiddling while Rome burns-which reminds
me that some of the papers already call you
Nero.
Reed (Speaker) bloodhound the papers!
want to be Speaker of the next House.
Quay (Senator)--Then pass the Tariff
bill quick when it comes over to you. After
you have done that you can do whatever
you like. But first pass the Tariff bill.
And don't 60 about with sore head. You
are great man, but know more about
elections in half an hour than You do in
year. By the way, what is the condition
of your fences? Perhaps you'd better go
home for couple of weeks to set them up
and leave me to manage this circus.-N 7.

A Friend of Children.

Rev. Charles Loring Brace, of New
York, has just died in Switzerland. He
was pioneer in the organization of the
Children's Aid Society of New York in
1858, and this became his life work. In
1854 he inaugurated the lodging house for
news boys. His leading idea was to en-.
courage and enable the young to help them
selves, and his plan provided for sort of
children's hotel. He thought that when a
homeless outcast, or orphan, was found
wandering about the streets of great city
the best place for him was a farmers
home, and during his career the society
placed over 70, 900 children in good homes.
Many thus cared for have grown up to be
good citizens. The books of the New
York children's lodging houses show that
more than 100000 boys and girls have
availed themselves of these lodging. houses
since they started. In addition to this
work Mr.. Brace started industrial schools
where the children were taught early the
importance of self-reliance. All this has
resulted in the children's open air fund and
the establishment of a summer house for
them by the sen. Thus thousands have
been helped or saved by the great unsel6sh
life of this man whose name is scarcely
known in New York. Never did mans
good deeds more surely live after him.

PHOTOGRAPHED AN ANGELA dispatch
from Charlotte, N. c., says portrait of the
late John Taylor which j. R. Smith has on
exhibition in his store attracts many visi-
tors daily and has caused great deal of dis
cussion. The portrait formerly rested on
the mantlepiece at Mr.. Smiths residence
in Mt. Olive. Monday during heavy
storm lightning flash struck it. The
frame was demolished, but the fash left on
the portrait clearly defined picture of an
angel with outstretched wings overshadow
ing Mr.. Taylor's head, the arms encircling
his neck and the right hand holding
bunch of flowers. The pose of the angel
suggests protection and benedictioD. The
dark line showing the lightning's journey
along the cardboard turns abruptly just
above the face of Mr.. Taylor, giving the
spectator the idea that the angel changed
the lightning's course. 6upersttious peo-
pie consider it an indication that Mr.. Tay-
lor is In heaven, but Mr.. Smith explains the
phenomenon by saying that the picture of
an angel. exactly like that which appears
on the Taylor portrait, was on the back of
a photograph near by. He believes that by
some electric freak the picture of the angel
was photographed over the portrait. The
affair, however, has caused a great deal of
comment, and people from miles around
come to see the picture

DR.. Koch, the renowned bacteriologist,
in addressing the recent Berlin Medical
Convention, expressed himself as sanguine
that the early future will develop method
for the cure ard prevention of pulmonary
consumption. The Medical Record reports
him as saying that she had not only sue
ceeded in comforting upon guinea pigs,
which are known to be peculiarly suscepti-
BILE to tuberculosis, perfect immunity
against the disease, but had also discovered
means of averting the growth and multiple
cation of tubercle bacilli after incubation"
The New York Herald says, what is per-
fectly true, that the promise implied in
these words is of startling Importance to
the world. Such discovery as this would
make the celebrated German doctor the
most famops MAJ thss the world has known
in his profession and would make him the
greatest benefactor OF Lis age.

presented letter which he had received
that day from the Commissioner of Labor,
showing the labor cost in ton of steel rails
at three points-an establishment in the
north of the United States. one in Great
Britain, and one in Belgium. The cost at
the first was given as $11.59, at the second
as 1871, and at the third as $50. He also
read letter received by him that day from
Charles W. Potts, of Philadelphia, large
consumer of tin plate, to the effect that he
had applied to all the rolling mills in the
vicinity of Pittsburgh for prices on the
thickness Of steel-plates, out of which can
ming tin-plate is made, and that all except
one stated that they could not make steel
plates as thin as was required, and that one
firm that could make them asked 81 cents
a pound for them untinned, while the pres
ent selling price of tin plate duty, freights,

A LYNcHINa IN NEBRAsKA.-Chas. Pratt
was lynched by mob shortly before mid
night Friday night at Blair, Nebraska, for
the murker of Farmer N. R. Town Friday
morning. About II o'clock rs men came
from the country to the town. They were
soon joined by 200 others from the city and
marched directly to the Jail. The sheriff
was there, together with fifteen deputies,
all OF whom were armed. They made no
display of their weapons. All the lynchers
were armed with guns and revolvers. The
sheriff refused to deliver the keys to the
Jail, but was soon overpowered, the deputies
Offering no resistance to the invaders. The
crowd then quickly made its way to the
cell in which Pratt was confined, and seiz-
ing him carried him about mile from
town, where his hands and feet were
bound. Pratt was then asked if he had
anything to say, and he replied that the
Towns had wronged him and he was sorry
he did not kill them all. While he was
speaking some one gave the rope q pull and

There is more catarrh in this section OF

supposed to be incurable. For q great
many years doctors pronounced it q local

by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be q constitutional
