Taylor,s Preparation For Buena Vista.


refer to Zachary Taylor, whose rec
ord in the Mexican war was something
phenomenal! He fought the battle of
Buena Vista with only 5000 men, al
though he was attacked by $4,000 men
under the leadership of Santa Anna, VINO
was the greatest military leader the
Mexicanshave ever known. Santa Anna
went to the battle of Buena Vista with
the avowed purpose of DISCRIMINATING the
entire army Of the United States, and
there was no doubt in the mind Of Santa
Anna that this great feat could be accom-
plished with comparative ease. General
Taylor, with his 5000 men, prepared for
the unequal contest, and not only de-
Tended himself successfully, but won a
substantial victory from his aggressive
antagonists and drove them from the
battlefield of Buena Vista.
Some time after the battle was fought
and the Mexican war concluded General
Taylor was criticised for having made
no preparations for the retreat of his
army in the event of defeat. General
Taylor promptly replied: II made every
preparation necessary for the battle of
Buena Vista. I wrote my will, and SO
did nearly every man in my army. If
we had not won that battle, we would
have needed no lines of retreat. It was,
from our standpoint, victory or annihila-
ton. The only preparation necessary
for the contingency Of defeat at Buena
Vista was that we should write our
wills. Boston Transcript.

PATENTS.
NOTICE TO INVENTIONS.

There was never a time in the history
of our country when the demand fer in
ventiOns and improvements in the arts
and sciences generally was So great as
now. The conveniences of mankind in
the factory and workshop, the house
hold, on the farm, and in official life, re-
quire continual accessiOns to the appur-
tenances and implements of each in Or
der to save labor, time and expense.
The political change in the administra-
ton of government does not affect the
progress of the American inventor, who
being on the alert, and ready to perceive
the existing DEFICIENCIES, does not per-
nit the affairs of government To deter
him from quickly cOnceiving the rem
edy to overcome existing discrepancies.
Too great care can not be exercised in
choosing a competent and skilltul attOr-
ney to prepare and prosecute an appli-
cation for patent. Valuable interests
have been lost and destroyed in innu-
merable instances by the employment
of incompetent counsel, and especially
is this ADVICE applicable to those who
adopt the mo patent no pay" system.

Genius and Heredity.

The world is not going to suffer
through the decline of maternity among
the upper classes. Out from the ranks
of the poor and unlettered will spring
statesmen or actors, musicians, poets,
scholars and reformers, who shall keep
the great machinery of the world in mo-
tion and who shall in their turn, accord
ing to natural law, die without note
worthy offspring and give place to others
to rise from unlocked for sources. Did
great brain produce greater brain, did
genius produce greater genius, from Que
generation to another, the earth would
soon groan under the oppression of ty-
rants of colossal intellectual power, as it
now groans under the tyrants of inner
tied thrones and fortunes. 1t is we'll for
humanity at large that genius cannot be
entailed. Time is doing away with
thrones, and may God speed the day
when great wealth, too, shall reach its
limit with each generation, and mo-
nopoly of human rights become an i'm
possibility!-Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

much statistical search-that he never
found case of extreme longevity unac-

from which one might infer that they who
rise late die early. But this would fail to

AApsHI Izzer HATED CHRISTIANS.
But Consul Once Made the Famous Turk
ish Governor Respect Him.

buL u OOnbut OnC0 Nluub Jho AuA
ish Governor Respect Him.
Some time ago there died in Adrian
ople one of the most famous and origi-
nal of the subjects of the sultan of Tur-
key. He was Hadshi Achmed Izzet,
pasha governor general of the valayet,
or province, bordering on the Black sea.
Hadshi Izzet was an ideal Turk Of the
old school, strange mixture of Solo
monlike wisdom and childish foolish
ness, energy and apathy, cruelty and
mercy, truth and deceit, generosity and
avarice.
In the eyes of the ruler and contem-
poraries he was hero, and it was with
a purpose clear tomany that his majes-
ty appointed hip governor general of
Adrianople and kept him for as many
years at the head Of that important prov
ince-the gateway of the Ottoman en-
pire. The pasha was born more than 80
years ago and rapidly climbed to places
commensurate with his name and the in
fuence of his family. At the time of his
death he was the dean of the Turkish
viziero.
Almost countless are the anecdotes
told of the pasha, who was known and
respected from the Turkish Dan to the
christian dogs" as he always called
the people of the west, was boundless.
1t was invariably his custom, when
force of circumstances obliged him to
give his hand to dog" to wash it
upon withdrawal while in the presence
of his guest. 1t is said that Hadshi
Izzet laid aside his habit only once.
One day consul of one of the greatest
European countries was obliged to seek
an audience with the sultan s lieutenant
in governmental affairs. He had al
ready been insulted once by the pasha' s
washing his hands after the greeting
and determined that he should not be so
treated a second time if he could posi-
bly, prevent it. The consul was thor
ough master of the Turkish tongue, and
for this reason had great advantage
over many of his colleagues.
When the servant of Hadshi Izzet re-
ceived him at the palace threshold, he
| spoke as follows IN voice which he
knew would reach the ears of the gov
ernor in his Office near by:
go and tell thy master that l wish
to speak to him. Say to him that l
shall also do him the honor to give him
my hand, but shall crack my hat over
his ears if he attempts to wash his
hands after shaking mine.
The servant started away to announce
the visitor to his master. But the gov
ernor had already heard the message
and came, smiling, toward the daring
consul. While he placed his right hand
in that of the foreign representative he
said: THAT was right. You please me,
effendi. You at least have courage. "
The hands were not washed until the
consul had left the palace.-San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

Red Hair and sunstroke,

Nobody ever heard of redheaded man
being sunstruck. Why red head should
afford any protection from the rays of the
sun or give its owner immunity from one
of the most singular affections that hui
manity is heir to is one of those mysteries
that even the doctors cannot fathom, but
the fact remains that men with red hair
can stand almost any amount of exertion
in or out of doors during the hottest wealth
er and never feel any serious results from
it.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

IT'S WORTH IT.

You'd have to be rich to pay $1,000
bottle for Aliens Sarsaparilla, but here's
a man who says it is we'll worth that
sum. Read what he writes regarding
this famo"s remedy.
KENNEBUNK, Me. l cannot express
too forcibly the gratitude feel for what
Aliens Sarsaparilla has done for me. 1
am now 70 years old, and for sixty years
l have suffered from Acute Rheumatism.
At the age of 10 contracted this terri
Bile disease by exposure, and it has chung
to me all my life. The disease was
mostly IN my right hip and back. l
have suffered terribly at times, so much
SO that in ten minutes it would seem as
though I suffered the agonies of life
time. Doctors and medicine seemed to
do no good until this spring, when l
bought bottle of Aliens Sarsaparilla
for my blood. 1t is a wonderful medi-
cine. 1t seemed as though l could feel
it going through every vein, and before
l had taken half bottle could feel the
rheumatism leaving me. Now 1 have
taken but one bottle and am free from
the disease for the first time in sixty
years. am cured. One thousand
dollars would not cover the value of this
one bottle of Aliens Sarsaparilla to me.

THE STATION AGENT SPEAKS.
Salt Rheum is a very uncomfortable
disease, and is very obstinate and hard
to cure. Mr.. c. E. Keys, Station Agent
at the Maine Central Railroad at Rock
land, who is so we'll known that his tes-
timony is valuable, was cured of his
Salt Rheum by Aliens Sarsaparilla.
RocKLAND, Me. GeRkZemeH:- wish
to give my testimonial for Aliens Sarsa-
parilla, as it has cured me of very dis
agreeable disease. l had Salt Rheum
all over my hands, and could get nothing
to help me, until began using Aliens
Sarsaparilla. had not taken it but a
short time when the disease began to
disappear. BY the time I had taken one
bottle was all well, and have seen no
signs of it since. Since taking your
valuable medicine have been in perfect
health in every way, but 1 believe l
would be sick now if had not used it.
1t is worth $500 bottle and would be
cheap at that price. c. E. KEYS, M. C.
