for the arrest of Michael Hawkins, on

Gently written, threatening to kill her

Gen. Bradley 7. Johnston, at the unwilling

burg, after paying an eloquent tribute to the
dead heroes of the civil war, enunciated the
following:
1t is a fact, and a wonderful fact, that
pathos, sentiment, the romance of the war be.
tween the states, is concentrated and crystal
lied about the cause of the Confederacy. In
the north to-day no name thrills human
hearts like that Of Lee; no name electrifes
flashes, no sabre g~listens like that Of Stuart.
Neither Grant nor Sherman nor Sheridan,
the great and successful soldiers of the vic
torions side have left such an impression on
the imagination or hearts of the people as
the leaders of the Confederates who
died in battle or yielded to overwhelming
force when further resistance would have
been criminal

SANDER is hells standard bearer and a
legion of devils walking behind it. The re.
p~utation that women have as retailers of
harmful gossip would soon be annulled could
they but bring themselves to face the justice
of the accusation and set to work to live it
down. Allure pickering and all thrusts of a
ready tongue. Say no evil of any one, how
ever just the accusation may seem. Ifsyou
hear a bad story about anybody, set straight
to work to forget it. Rise above the tempta-
tion to become a retailer of nasty gossip.
Allow the meanest adversary the privilege of
his own opinions, and give the shadiest Gus
toner the benefit of a doubt. The differences
of opinions tend to quarrels, avoid vain dis.
putations as you would hold yourself aloof
from drunken brawls; either are demeaning to
dignity. Be caught with your hand in a

be caught meddling with a private reputation.
Hard words and harsh judgments are like
birds that fly far by day. but come home to

The following, clipped from the Burlington

no little value to persons troubled with
indigestion
For years the Editor of the Post has been
subject to eramp collie or fits of Indigestion,
that protracted him for several hours and I'M
fitted him for business for two or three days
afterward. About a year ago we called on 5.
r.. Butcher, druggist, and asked for something
to ward off al attack that was already max
ing life hideous. Mr.. Butcher handed us a
bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. We took the medicine
according to directions, and not only found re-
lief on that occasion, but have several times
since tried its virtues and found relief in every
instance. We take this method of acknowledge
ing the benefits derived and recommending
the cure to all others subject to indigestion.
