Among the thousands of testimo-
malls of cures by DR.. Miles New
Heart Cure, is that Of Nathan Alli-
sons, a well-known citizen of Glen
Rock, Pa, who for years had short
ness of breath, sleeplessness, pain in
left side, shoulders, smothering spells,
ETC.; one bottle of DR.. Miles New
Heart Cure and one box of Nerve and
liver Pills, cured him. Peter Jaquet,
Salem, N. j., is another witness, who
for twenty years suffered with heart
disease, was pronounced incurable by
physicians, death stared him in the
face, could not lie down for fear OF
smothering to death. Immediately
after using the New Cure he felt bet
ter and could lie down and sleep all
night, and is now a well man. The
New Cure is sold, also free book, at

IT now appears that Hawaii will be
annexed to this country. Only one
power can now prevent the Sand.
wich Islands from becoming part Of
the United States, and that is Con-
gress. President Harrison and his
cabinet are now not only committed
to annexation, but they have assured
the special ENJOYS of commissioners
that a message will 90 to Congress in
a few days, probably this week, re-
viewing the recent events on the
islands, noting the status OF affairs
there AZ present and urging annexa-
ton legislation at once. Unless con
gress offers obstinate opposition Ha.
waii will be u part Of the United
States within fortnight or three
weeks.

IT seems that there is no longer
reason to doubt Judge Gresham's go
ing into Clevelands cabinet as Sec
retary of State. The President-elect
has precedent on his side in making
selection of new convert or former
adversary, politically 1t is stated,
on good authority, that Lincoln and
Hayes each selected for cabinet posi-
tious, former Democratic opponents.

AMONG the historical papers at
Washington there is said to be a
contract entered into between the
father of his country and the foreman
of his farm. The unique part OF the
historic document is a clause which
provides that the foreman may get
drunk a certain number of times each
year without suffering the displeasure
of his employer, He evidently was
tippler of cherry bitters.

THE Missouri Pacific railway offers
to spend an equal amount of money
as the State, in advertising the re-
sources of the State, with a view to
induce immigration and capital. But
it must be intelligently advertised,

DESPITE the frequent and positive
refusals of Mrs. jefferson Davis to
accept pension from the Southern
States, bills are introduced in legis-

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known
to the medical fraternity. Ca
tarrh being constitutional dis
ease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
TEN, thereby destroying the founda-
ton of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by bnilding
up the constitution ana assisting
nature is dong its work. The pro-
prietors have so much faith in its
curative powers, that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for list Of testi-

must be allowed TO say that cannot look with
any degree Of satisfaction or complacency on the
action OF The Medal OF Honor Legion. noticed In

who won medals of honor for bravery" etc. Pray
let ask who was. could be Drawer than the
poor soldier OF the rank and file. who on the field
OF battle faced boldly breast works OF bayonets and
batteries OF artillery. fearless and unhlnching?
WY - tins invidious and unnecessary distinction
originated OF badges OF honor? is II to confer a
httle unnecessary distinction on few officers who
carried swords and shoulder straps? For
my part deem the soldier OF the ranks the real
man Of honor. and who really ought 10 wear such
"A badge II any. Rest assured that every such
soldier Will feel the slight. not TO say Insult put
upon him By these proceedings OF the nrfnbors Of
the Medal OF Honor Legion; body Of men whose
OBJECT and aim seem 10 be 10 vote themselves into
honor and distinction aside and above the truly
ana really brave common soldier OF the ranks.
Fest assured they Will notice and feel this uncaed
Tor and tnvidious distinction. L. CASE.
