THE GHOST OF A ROMANCE.

M
Lincoln Despard of Sparta Junction. has re-
Gently found a marriage certific tie issued In
1774, declaring that Bannister Harcourt and
Helena Maxwell were married by the Rev,
Buckworthy, of Salisbury, Eng. Despard has
in his possession an old prayer book of that
period, and was examining it Friday when the
back gave way, disclosing a small slit at the top,
and In this was folded the certificate in a tiny
slip and evidently for the purpose of conceal
ment. Despard says that this paper, according
the cause of a large estate passing out of the
possession of his great grandmother and her
heirs to a remote branch of his great grand
fathers family; that the lady, Helena Maxwell,
was supposed 10 live Illegally with her husband,
and at his death, the certificate of the marriage
failing to appear, the poor wife and her little
children were left to fthe charity of relatives;
that this important paper was hidden in the old
prayerbook by Harcourt, Despard believes, and
that but for the lapse Of time he could with it
establish a claim to the estate, which lies in
Cornwall and Is valued at nearly a quarter of a
mill on pounds sterling, and is still III the hands
of the wrong heirs.

COFFEE AND TEA At MEALS.
Effect Upon the System Of
Their Constant Use.
Action on the Nerves, Brain
and Feelings.
Need Not Be Stopped, But Their In
fuence Must Be Counteracted.
"Do you drink tea and csffee?"

'DO you uTluk YEA anu C3Hee9
"Certainly; every one does"
The speakers were a prominent Fifth ave-
nue. physician and a Wall street %fnancieri
a Y the New York Tribune. Continuing
the physician said:
sit is true that nearly every one does
drink tea and coffee. Why? To make
blood, to make brain, to make muscle, to
make nerve7 Not q bit ofit. There is no
n~ourishment in these articles; they simply
keep up the feelings"
"But, DOCTOR said the business man anx-
iously, unjust I stop their use?"
"Not necessarily, !" was the physicians re-
ply. at is true they do not nourish, but
they can be taken in moderation without
any special injury, providing a good nerve
food is used at the same time.'
"What do you mean by a good nerve food,
doctor?n
II mean,'' said the physician, something
which provides a food for the nerves; a
nerve builder. 1t is difficult to find just the
ingredients for this purpose, but 1t seems to
have been foundi in the discovery made by
Prof. Phelps.of Dartmouth college, known
as Paine's celery compound. The way in
which the ingredients of this compound are
combined, make it an actual nerve food. 1t
contains just the properties which the
nerves require for growth, development,
and strength"
The physician expressed a great truth in
a few words. Thesnerves do require a spec
ial food, and there are a wonderful number
of people throughout the land who have
found this compound to meet their wants.
A recent letter from General Alexander
Hamilton, who now resides at T~arrytown,
N. Y, bears strongly on this point. He
writes:
"Paine's celery compound has been a
blessing to my family. 1t relieved Mrs.
Hamilton, who, after suffering from a
severe attack of the grip, suffered from ex-
cessive nervousness and great prostration.
And our daughter of 16, h also suffered
from the grip-a and measles, was cured by
dthis remedy in the same manner.
y 81 have, for many years, suffered from
wounds received during the late war, there
being one over my left lung and heart, and
have carried round a musket ball for twenty
years. But after using Paine's celery com
pound for the past year or two, I am vigor-
Gus and we'll, and free from the great ner-
vousn ess and hemorrhage from which
suffered as the effect of the ball over my
heart.
"My family would not be without Pafne's
celery compound in the house. 1t builds VI
the system, and is the best medicine that
we ever used.n

pretence of blaming any committee. The
Senate met yesterday morning. advanced

Editor of Wdtchman:-We have recently
sold to Mr.. M. Marvin OF Montpelier, VT,
the yearling bull, Jessie Beets' " Pietertje
Netherland No. 1904 II. f. II. b." This
animal is of such rare breeding we thought
a short description of him might be of in
terest to the readers of your valuable paper.
Jessie Beets' Pletertje Netherland was
sired by "Millas Pietertje Netherland'
his dam Pietertje 3) has milk record of
"a 1863 pounds in one year as a four-year-
old, the largest four-year-old record ever
made, and butter record OF q pounds, 81
ounces in one week, and ITO pounds, 81
ounces in thirty days. Her dam, Pietertje
two, holds the worlds years milk record
of 30,31Sl pounds-thus making the average
years milk record OF the dam and grand
dam of Milla's " Pietertje Netherland -
over $1,000 pounds. The sire of Mila's
erland." He contained the same per cent
of NetherlaDd blood as the great butter bull
Netherlan1 Prince" The dam of the
bull Mr.. Marvin purchased of us is Jessie
Beets" She gave, as a three-year-old, GAL
pounds in one day, 8,08lh pounds in six
seven days She was sired by Moosie

9,l274 pounds in five months and fifteen
days. She is dam of Jacoba Hartog" (3),

pounds butter in one week. This COW won
the $50 milk prize offered by the Oswego
County Agricultural Society two years in
succession. She is dam of Martha Beets r"
20 pounds butter in one week. 1t will be
seen by the above that Mr.. Marvin has in
Jessie Beets Pietertje Netherland /" a bull
whose nearest ancestors are among the
largest producing cows in the world, and,
az an individual, he has no superior-being
very beautifully formed and very stylish
and snowy in appearance. Mr.. Marvin has
some very choicely-bred and large-produc.
ing Holstein- Friesian cows at his home
place in Montpelier, and, with bull of such
high individual merit and rich breeding at
the head of his herd, we believe the time is
not far distant when this will be one of the
leading herds in Vermont; and we are glad
to know that his productive farm, lying
within two mics OF Montpelier, will soon
be stocked with the black-and- whites.

A Knowing Argus.

While the active and industrious
WASHINGTON correspondents of all the
leading journals of the country have
yainly endeavored to fathom the true
intent and result of the recent inter-
view between President Cleveland and
the senior senator from New ok, the
Argus and Patriot is in possession OF
the exclusive information that the
meeting was held by appointment, that
it was friendly conference over i'm
portant political matters in which both
were very much interested, and that an
evidently good and satisfactory under
standing and friendly arrangement was
arrived at. And in confirmation of his
understanding of this friendly arrange
ment, President Cleveland Immediately
sent to the senate the nomination of
one of Senator Hills most bitter and
relentless opponents for the office OF
/ fourth assistant postmaster general, Mr.
Robert A. Maxwell. Mr.. Maxwell was
relieved of his former position, as state
insurance commissioner, because of his
supposed friendship for Cleveland, and
his opposition to the Hill machine, and
when it is remembered that he has now
the disposal of several thousand post
|
masterships in New York state alone,
the satisfactoriness of his appointment,
to Hill, will be fully appreciated and
the exclusive information of the Argus
and Patriot will be estimated at its true
value. In order also to emphasize his
friendly regard for Senator Hill, and to
give force and real meaning to the dis
covery of the Argus, President Cleve-
| -, n n
compromising foe of Mr.. Hill, who was
prominently identified with the anti
snapper movement, Mr.. Edward Il.
Whitney, for the position of assistant
attorney. general. In view of these
events, happening so soon after the
love feast between the two democratic
leaders of New York, the Messenger
may be warranted in not placing entire
reliance upon the political forecasts o.
the Argus.-St. Adams Messenger.

some overt act of violence. On the other
hand, when respectable and law-abiding
citizens in every rank OF the community
resent as a personal matter-which it is
an affront offered to one Of their members,
lawlessness understands that 1t is time to
halt. The good work OF enforcing law and
purging the community OF evil doing and
evil doors will go resoutely on. Such must
be the result in this instance.
In this connection 1t is, perhaps, proper
to enforce again the plain moral OF this
business of setting in motion the machinery
of the law against the sale of intoxicating
LIQUORS. All know the demoraliZing influ-
ence of the traffic, and all understand what
vindictive and INSCRIPTIONS qualities of
character are developed by the beastly
business. A few men, frequently single
individual or two, have generally had the
courage to sign and taken the hazard that
attends the signing of complaint under
the prohibitory code. Is it right to impose
so great responsibility upon one man? Is
1t right for him to incur alone the hazard,
to suffer alone the odium and annoyance
that attaches to the performance of a plain
act of public duty? Is it not the duty of
citizens to band together for the perform
ance of so ungrateful a task? Should not
the responsibility, the hazard, the odium,
be lessened and practically dissipated by
distributing 1t among half dozen, or a
dozen, or more, signers? Would not the
moral effect, the deterrent influence of the
nitiatory act so performed and strength
| ened, be vastly increased? Let a few rep.
resentative citizens band together for this
important and highly patriotic work, and
| the day of the practical destruction of the
rum traffic in Montpelier is not far off.
