at was in the Senate-the body farthest
removed from the people, and where the
least resistance was to have been expected
that the force bill was checked, and the an
cient right of freemen to choose their repre-
sentatiyes under home laws and home agen-
eies was successfully defended through all
the stages of the most memorable parlia-
mentary struggle of modern times. On no
field of battle, at no dread moment, in the
whole history of our race were the essential
liberties Of the people ever more clearly at
stake or ever more CALAMITY rescued. Be-
tween the noble men who, by their devoted
and splendid service on this occasion, raised
for all time the character of the American
Senate and after long, arduous and des-
perate struggle averted the deadly stroke
we have no wish TO distinguish.
"But among them-among the foremost,
the most resolute, the most vigilant, the
most efficient, in place the most difficult
and trying, where the smallest error might
have been fatal-was Charles James Faux
ner, the young Senator of West Virginia.
In commemoration of his patriotic devotion,
unsurpassed by that of any of his immortal
fellows, in that great contest which must oc
cupy so large space in the constitutional
history of our country am instructed by
gentlemen connected with the National AS
ISOLATION of Democratic Clubs to present to
West Virginia the accompanying portrait
Of her honored Senator, and to request your
acceptance of it on behalf Of the State"
"What pity it is that his face is all pimples
He'd be very fine looking if 'twasn't for
that"
Said pretty Miss We're, with smile at the dim
Piles
As she looked at herself in the glass, softly
signing
That She had for the young man tender re-
gard
There wasn't the least need of denying
for everyone knew it. His beauty is mar
red by the frightful red blotches all over his
face. [ wonder if he couldn't take some
thing to cleanse his blood, and drive them
away ?"
He heard what she said about his looks.
1t hurt his feelings, but he couldn't deny
she told the truth. He remembered friend
whose face used to be as bad as his. 1t had
become smooth and clear He went to him
and asked how the change had been brought
about. Simply by using Dr. Pierce's Gold
en- Medical Discovery" was the reply
Take that and I'll warrant you to get rid
of your pimples." He did so.
His face became healthy and clear,
And next week he'll be married to pretty Miss
We're.
Whiskey may be said to have saved the
life of Mrs Wilson, living near Warsaw,
Illinois, last Thursday. Having fallen into
a trance she was thought to be dead, and
arrangements were made Tor her burial
While attendants were sitting up with her
corpse, She having known everything that
was going on, made powerful effort and
threw out her hand and clutched a woman
who stood near the coffin. Restoratives
were given her and she revived. If the
man sent to Warsaw for the coffin had got
ten back Wednesday, instead of getting
drunk and delaying his return day, Mrs.
Wilson would have been buried on Wednes-
day, while alive The virtues of whskey
crop cut now and then. We've heard of
the man whose life was saved by not drink
ing it.
