BRAVERY OF SPARROWS.

Cleveland Leader.
Capt. Holzworth, of Cleveland, tells a
curious story of flock of sparrows. The
cat belonging to his house was in the
habit of capturing one of the birds to
satisfy her own appetite, while the Cap
tain's wife fed the Sparrows with crumbs.
This was not practiced many times be-
fore the willy little birds took precaution
against further depredatiOns by con-
slant lookout, all flying in body on the
first indication of spring from Tabby.
At last, one day, after she had been frus-
trated by this maneuvre and sat patient
ly awaiting the return of the birds, they
held convention on the fence, conduct
ed, like many human conventions, with
much unintelligible chattering, and re-
sumed their repast After the cat had
become satisfied that they were too much
engrOssed in eating to notice her, she
made another spring. The birds were up
in an instant, and, instead of flying away
as usual, they formed themselves into a
hollow square, and charged upon the foe
Some got upon the cats back, and
scratched and pecked with all their might
others flew right into her face, while the
balance chased her. The cat was so sur
prised at first that she stood, unable to
move The birds became more and more
infuriated, and fought so savagely that
they drove the foe down the garden path
on a full g;tllop and under the barn. They
returned to their feast, and were left un
molested the rest of the winter, the cat
keeping at safe distance whenever they
appeared

A HAUNTED HOUSE.

This body of ours has been ikened to
a tenement; it often has a haunted apart
ment-the stomach; scared by the eldrich
spirit, dyspepsia, digestion flies and re-
fuses toreturn; what can break the spell
what can raise the ban laid upon the un-
happy organ? We answer unhesitating-
ly, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, and we
are warranted in the response by the re,
corded testimony of myriads, covering a
period of over third of century; a
course of the Bitters, begun in any stage
of the affection and persistently followed,
will terminate in cure permanent, not
partial; the Bitters restores tone to the
epigastic nerve, renews and purifies the
juices exuding from the cellular tissue
that act upon the food digestiyely, expels
bile from the stomach and the blood, and
promotes a regular habit of body. Mala-
ria, kidney complaint, nervousness, rheu-
matism and neuralgia give way to this
medicine. 65-4t

Opposition to the President.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 16.-At the
Republican county convention held here
Saturday to select delegates to. the
gubernatorial convention in July reso-
lutions indorsing President Harrison's
administration were voted down. Half
dozen counties in the state have refused
to indorse the administration, notably
Rutherford, the home of President Har.
rison's brother, Carter B. Harrison,
United States marshal. The opposition
to the president comes from the rank
and file of the party because of his ap-
pOintments in the state.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

From the Dubuque, Iowa, Telegraph.
The adjournment of the impeachment
court last Saterday, on account of Gen.
Weayer's belly ache, cost the people of
this commonwealth nearly $500. One
dose of Chamberlains Collie, Cholera and
DiarrhGa Remedy, would have saved this
expense. And we suggest, as matter of
sconomy and humanity, that the state
provides against future contingencies of
this nature, by furnishing each senator
with bottle of that valuable remedy; 25
and SOC bottles for sale by J. b. Hoge,

MOTHERS JOURNEY.

Detroit Free Press.
There is hint in the following incident
of the way in which children may be
trained so as not to regard death as the
king of terrors:
That night, before they went to bed,
they were allowed to go in and kiss their
mother goodnight. This privilege had
been denied them lately, and their hearts
responded with joy to the invitation
Mamma was better, or she could not see
them. The doctor had cured her. They
would love him for it all their lives, She
was very pale, but smiling, and her first
words to them were: a am going on a
journey.
a journey" cried the children. "Win
you take US with you?"
No; it is long, long journey"
Mamma is going to the South" said
Katy; "the doctor has ordered her to-
She will get well in the orange groves OF
Florida"
a am going to far distant country
more beautiful than even the lovely
lllC ldllllll, dllt i
will not come back"
You are going alone, mammal" ask
ed Katy.
"No," said the mother, in a low, sweet
voice. am not going alone. My Ply
sician goes with me. Kiss me goodbye
my dear ones, for in the morning before
you are awake l shall be gone. You will
come to me when you are made ready
but each must make the journey alone
In the morning she was gone. When
the children awoke their father told them
of the beautiful country at which mother
had safely arrived while they slept.
"How did she go?" Who came for
her?" they asked amid their tears.
"The chariot of Israel and the horse
men thereof" their father told them,
solemnly.
People wonder at the peace and happi-
ness expressed in the faces of these
motherless children. When asked about
their mother, they say: She has gone on
a journey" and every night and morning
they read in her Guide book of that land
where she now lives, whose inhabitants
shall no more say, Z" l am sick" and where
God shall wipe all tears from their eyes.

A CONNECTICUT man has just been
fined $50 for kissing girl whom he had
known for only a week. In every other
State the time limit for kissing is var
liable quantity, depending a great deal on
the girl, and, we may add, the young
man. But Connecticut, with that desire
to reduce everything to scientific exact
ness characteristic of progressive peo
pie, seems inclined to make it exactly
two weeks, no less, no more.

however, feel outraged that the guilty
parties have not been punished They
were simply required to apologize. The

bolder every day and insults to foreign
ers are increasing. The settlers coming
from Yokohama are armed with re-
volvers, fearing that there may be

The government seems to be doing all
possible to deal with the students as a

ing people of Toxic and other large
cities is being ameliorated to great ex-

japanese noblemen. One nobleman is
feeding 200 people day out of his own
