Elias Norwood.

The death of Elias Norwood at the age OF
nearly 81. removed a well known, and in
some respects a picturesque figure. For uan y
years Mr.. Norwood and his brother Captain
Jonathan Norwood, were peddlers, the one
on land, and the other among the islands.
Elias Norwood was a man of much natural
ability and was known very widely as the
'poet peddler,' and few years ago pub
lished pamphlet containing many of his
poems. It was quaint enough TO make it
sell we'll. and Mr.. Norwood was not little
proud of his success.
During the green back days Mr.. Norwood
was an active member of that party. He
was delegate to all the conventions, and
was in the habit of making greenback
speeches in school houses when off on his
peddling trips. he was frequent con-
tributor to greenbaok papers, and was more
than locally prominent. His articles were
commonly in verse, and some of them
figured later in his booas.
He was one of the old anti-slaverY men,
and was frequent speaker in his latter
years at free religious meetings. He had a
retentive memory, and would make his
points in bright way. He acted during the
closing years of his life with the Populist
party. A rong Temperate man, his PRO
hibition songs" ii not exactly sung were
widely read. = sold his own verses, and
few refused NY. Mr.. Norwood was an
honest man. IN will be long remembered.
His brother Captain Norwood. the hermit
of House Island.' is now almost s., and is
thinking of resuming his old time avocation
of peddling among the island of Casco Bay.

SHAKERS AND DOCTORS TALK
TOGETHER.

Tn his able work entitled "Longevit,y, mn,
lished few years ago. DIR. John Gardner Of
England. predicts that vegetable aqent will
vet be found that shall so retard those chanaos
that bring about old age as to prolong human
life much beyond its present limit.
Acting, perhaps, upon the impulse produced
by this thought, many eminent physicians have
called from time to time upon the Shakers of
Mt Lebanon to inquire of them concernjnp the
secrets of medicinal plants, in which these sin.
cere simple minded and God-fearing people are
known to be wise and Skillful beyond all other
men.
learned, and in turn received from their visitors
much valuable information about disease
which they at once made practical use of. The
most important point was that if a genuine and
certain remedy could be found for Indigestion
and dyspepsia, and the ailments growing out OF
it, long step would be taken in the right direc-
ton. Old age, said these physicians begins in
q failure of the digestion, and so do most dis
eases at any and all periods of life. The result
of these consultations was the discovery by the
Shakers of the desired specific, made wholly
from herbs, and now known as the Shakers Di-
geStive Cordial. Its action IS magical and
worthy OF its origiu.
Where there is distress after eating, heart
burn, sick headache, bad taste in the mouth.
billiousness, weakness and wearlness, cold
hands and feet, aversion to food, nervousness,
or any other symptoms OF dyspepsia, the Cor
dial will prove Its curative virtues. Behind it
is the reputation of people who have never de-
frauded or deceived their fellow men.
In order to test whether this remedy Is adapt
ed to your case, at practically no cost, you may
procure trial bottle for ten cents of almost
any druggist.

MISCELLANEOUS.

Where Science ends and Com
mon Sense should rule. Persons
of sedentary habits are liable to
indigestion or dyspepsia. These,
in turn, will bring on nervous
disorders, kidney complaints,
constipation, etc. This is es-
pecially the case with merchants,
students and scientists. They
will give you the exact dimen-
sions of Jupiter, the distance
from Saturn to the sun, to a foot,
but they cannot or will not tell
themselves what will cure this
train of disorders.

Some three weeks ago two men made

were agents for machine for seeding

trusted that the interest they took in
the details of the murder was any more
than that aroused by the curiosity over
such an event of so recent occurrence.
At last, however, it became known
that they were none other than the we'll
