An Incident of a Battle.

Col. G. w. Dean of Dayton. o. had
the peculiar and serious experience of
being sunstruck while engaged in battle
before Port Hudson, La, June IA, 1868.
AS result, from that time until last
June he had continual distracting
pain in his head and weak spells,
which compelled him for many years to
give up everything of an active charac-
ter. He was obliged to stay indoors,
and could not even walk across the
street. Last June he began using DR..
Miles Restorative Nervine and Nerve
and Liver Pills, and is now completely
cured.

1t is claimed that the Prohibition
vote of 1892 is 10000 above that cast
the year previous. 1t is also stated
that the Prohibitionists will introduce
an innovation in politics by beginning
the campaign for the coming year in
December, and keep their orators
stumping the State until the next
election. This is awful. To think of
having cold water poured onto the
people during these long cold Winter
months is enongh to make Il person

THE JoLLIFIoATIoN.

The Democrats OF Perrysburg held n
olliiicatlon last Saturday night. They
commenced early in the evening with
IN immense bonfire. This was followed
by sky-rockets, Roman candles, the blat
jof tin horns, the whoop of enthusiastic
patrons OF st. Jackson, firing OF guns
large and small) and general whoop
and hurrah which lasted unit, late at
night.
Prince Buckhouse was down on the
programme for ghost dance, but the
Prince has not been doing the dance
act since the Monday night prior to
election, but he favored the audience
with his latest song, n new version of
the popular Boom the only
verses we could capture being as fol-
lows:
| Boom, ta-ra-ra, boom te-ay!
| Republicans have had their day,
Everything is coming our way,
| You bet your life, we all feel guy.
Chorus Boom ta-rl-ra, etc.
Cleve and Steve they had the vim
| Me and Bryant are in the swim
The Democratic rooster had TO win
All on account of Mckinley tin
Chorus-Boom ta-ra-ril, etc.
During the rendition of this pathetic
ballad by Prince Peter, Dan Klingler
accompanied the singer with a base
drum obligato, and when the so.oist
would stop for breath the audience
cheered loudly. Dan Klingler was Il
little veXed because the master of cere-
monies would not permit him to recite
II new version of "Sheridon's Ride
in which he gives graphic descrip-
tion of his own perilous ride over the
bottomless roads of Perrysburg town
ship while on the still hunt" just be-
fore election. The Prince tried TO set
tie the little disatfection by promising
to make Dan his deputy when he was
appointed Postmaster, but it was no 60
and Dan read him the riot act right
there. "Make me, your Deputy" said
Dan, as he Strengthened himself up TO
his full height and cast look of scorn
upon the Prince that would have with
cred the Cashier of the boldest wild
cat bank in existence. ME, who has
stood by Democracy when you was
sleeping in II trundle bed me, who
stood by the forlorn hope when Saltz-
gaber physiclicd the district; me, who
has fought by day and skirmished by
night for MY party; me, who has with
stood the shock of battle of ballots as
u candidate for Coroner in Wood
county. Make ME your deputy Oh,
the thought maddens me! Away, vile
usurper of Il right you have no claim
upon. I'm first. What's left you can
haye," and with that he walked with
majestic strides to IL lonely corner,
where he sat down to ponder over the
unlimited gall of some people. The
Prince soon recovered from his cur
tain lecture which the Senator gave
him, and went on with the festivities.

AT a recent meeting of the State
Board of Agriculture, the question OF
whether the board shall attempt TO
hold State Fair next year in the face
of the Worlds Fair, was raised and
discussed. The general sentiment
seemed to be against it. A motion that
it was the opinion of the present board
that no fair should be held was carried
but aftcrward reconsidered and the
matter postponed until the January
meeting. IL is virtually settled, how
ever that there will be no State Fair
in 1898, though as the matter now
stands the board will wait to see what
the other States do in this matter. The
new board will decide the question, moi
the present boprd.

A TRIFLs.

A ISIS ne took and a backward look,
And her heart grew suddenly lighter;
A tritle, you say, to color day,
Yet The dull gray morn seemed brighter.
For hearts are such that a tender touch
May Danish look of sadness;
A small. bright thing can make us sing,
But frown will check our gladness.
The cheeriest ray along our way
Is the little act of kindness,
And the keenest sting some careless thing
That was done in moment of blindness.
We can bravely face life in a home where
strife
No foothold can discover,
And be lovers still if we only will,
Though youths bright days are over.
All. sharp as swords cut the unkind words
That are far Beyond recalling,
When face lies hid meath a coffin lid,
And bitter tears are falling,
We fain would give the lives we live
To undo our idle scorning.
Then let us not miss the smile and kiss
When We part in the light of morning.

A Simple Tom bstOne.

In West Laurel Hill cemetery, to the
left of the general entrance, lies massive
slab of beautiful white marble, on which,
in large raised letters, is the following
brief inscription, Dunno, 1927, 1866"
which conveys to the casual passer by lit
tie if any information of the terrible event,
the grave of the victim of which is marked
by so lowly and simple a tablet. Henry H.
Dunno was superintendent of the largest
colliery in the Schuylkill region owned by
the Heckshers. He was as large, brave and
kind hearted man as ever lived. On the
evening of the 10th OF. January, 1866, while
he was returning home to Pottsyille in his
carriage, within two miles of the city, for
no known cause he was waylaid by band
of desperadoes. Without a moments
warning he was riddled with five bullets,
causing instantaneous death. His grand
children, who never knew the sad story of
their ancestor, are living with brother
in-law, John S. Graham, 400 North Six
teenth street, this city, who formerly re-
sided ut POttsville.- Philadelphia Press.

We have reversed a good many of the

health | do not mean mere capacity
to get about as an animal, to feel free
from aches, or to do business with comfort,
but mean a general wholesome condition
of all ths physical faculties, so that all
mental and moral powers may be at their
best play 1t is we'll known that every
disease has its special effect on brain ac-
ton, and so creates special sorts of think

ment, as mothers have sometimes unpleas-

CetewayO's Son.

London Star.
The prosecuted Zulus were the sub
ject of an interesting little address by
Miss Colenso to the Sunday-school
Association in Essex Hall yesterday.
Miss Colenso. who Is the daughter of
the Bishop, feels very strongly about
the English oppression of the Zulu
nation. She read to the meeting q
very curious letter from the
chief, Cetewayo's eldest son
whom, before he went there, she had
impaired the mere rudiments of an
education. "This to you, Nine. Col
enso," the exiled Zulu wrote, lat the
home of Mr.. F. Colenso, In London,
saying: See now. here have 1 been
writing to thee. No one has helped
me, and L am like the lizard, strug-
Cling through choking sand. Here
are actually two letters written ty
me; and were 1 not in bondage
should verify be over there now where
you are and studying book. Igreatly
desire to learn. Indeed, am like one
who has been long athirst receiving
no water until he feels as If he must
swallow a whole river. That is just
the feeling I have. But then, too, 1
am like the fly wrapped up In the
SPIDERS web, though It's heart is yet
alive. Were 1 not the fly, should
be over there now at school, over
there where you are while you are in
London" So the quaint and touch
ing letter ran. To Mrs. Colenso, tho
mother of the speaker, he sent greet
ings as to "his grandmother He
told of the daily WORD OF honor" ex-
acted from them, and Of the grief of
the exiles, not only at the evils
of their own position in q bad
climate, but over the bad news
of disease ravages among their
own people. He appeared to Miss
Colenso to write to him, and he wound
up in this way: ~ salute you much
aud my uncle salutes you much, and
all our party at St. Helena send salu-
tations. Farewell, friend of my
| father"
For two years Miss Colenso has
been telling the story of this lad and
his party, yet they are still in exile.
And she explained as an illustration
| of the nature of his bondage, that she
could only write to him through the
Colonial Office. and that commuuica-
ton was very difficult. Still. she
does not despair of the return of the
exiles to their own land and their own
| people, and to bring that abount she
| remains in England.

Decoration in Brazil

From the Boston Commercial Bull etin
Among other queer things that the
stranger observes in Brazil are the
vast numbers of decorations-stars
aud crosses, etc,-which appear to
have been recklessly bestowed, often
upon boys of IL and IA years, who
certainly can have done nothing to
win such distinction. There is a very
large body Of ex officials in Rio, be-
longing to the decayed aristocracy,
and most of them still sport on all
possible occasions the court dresses
| and uniforms and decorations of q
past regime. 1t is their small sons
, and grandsons whom one sees tricked
out in tawdry silks and velvets, with
| stars and crosses and miniature
crowns pinned on their jackets. These
decorations are as likely to hsve
been obtained by purchase as by in
heritance, for there used to be Gus
tom in Brazil under which patents OF
nobility, with all It's signs and EN-.
blems, could be bought for filthy
lucre, and the rage for them was un
bounded.

The Lazzaroni of Naples.

A century ago there were 10000 'lazza.
roni'' in Naples. Neither disease nor
want has diminished their number. Their
children die at fearful rate, but there are
many hospitals for the survivors, and
neither board nor lodging costs them much
when, at a mature age, they are turned
loose into the world to become "lazzaroni'
in their turn, like their unknown fathers
and mothers.
What is ''lazzarone?" it may be asked
According to Colletta, he is a being who
lives how he can without working. IF he
puts hand to honest labor he is no Longer
a ''lazzarone." 1t may be doubted whether
the ''lazzarone" will ever become extinct
The 'resanitation" scheme will not Dust
him nor make him change his habits. He
is more than half what his climate makes
