Private Brock achieved his resi- gna-

ideas. He was discharged hccauSe he

impressed with the idea that he was
needed at Washington to advise with
Congressman Garfield and he took up
his residence in the national capital.

employment about his domestic estab-

Aware of Brooks battlc-wOn intirm-

apparent seriousness much advice from
Mr.. Brock concerning the conduct of
national affairs. and received most

This continued until Mr.. Brock $

responsibilities very much increased.
1t had been comparatively v easy mat

THE ULTIMATE AMERICAN.
BY WARRIOR 4. CURTIS.

The English are composite people.
Celts, Saxon. Danes. and Norman
French were their ancestors. OftheSe
component elements it has been the
| fashion to reckon the Saxon element
the largest. and the Celtic element in
| considerable. The English. warning
with the CcltS of Scotland, Ireland,
| Wales and France. have not liked to
| think themselves cousins of these hos
tile nations. and so they have declared
| themselves Teutons and claimed kim
ship with the Germans. The Scandi-
| navian nations and Holland have been
| ignored in this. for they are small and
numerically " unimport;nt nations; more
over. ENGLAND has measured arms and
contested commercially with Denmark
and Holland. The false theory that
the English are merely transported
Germans has obtained through an eX-
traorolinary pcrver>ion of facts occa-
stoned by national prejudice. The lam
rua"c argument is about the only one
advanced hv the upholders of the Ger
manic theory. and it at once falls to the
ground Because ninetv-tvc out of Il
hundred common English words are of
Saxon descent. The Jews of the time
of Christ spoke Greek and Hebrew was
then Il dead language; yet there were
no Greeks in Palestine. After Alex
ander's time, the Egyptians. Syrians,
| PhrygilnS. and almost all the nations
of Asia Minor spoke Greek, but they
| were not Greeks. The Indians consti-
tutinr Scvcn-tcnthS of MrXicos popu-

the population Of tie otl.cr Spanish
American countries speak Spanish.

Enrlish. The later BahylonianS spoke
Assy rian The Irish and Scotch speak
English. The French, Spanish. and
Portuguese speak languages derived
from the Latin, yet the Latin element

and history sustain the theory that

GOOD HEALTH

And Il good appetite 90 hand in hand.
With the loss ofappetite, the System
cannot long sustain itself. Thus the
Notifications of good health are broken
down and the system is liable to attacks
o. disease. 1t is in such eases that the
medicinal powers of Hood Sarsaparilla
are clearly shown. Thousands who have
taken Hoods Sarsaparilla testify to its
great merits as purifier of the blood,
its powers to restore and sharpen the
appetite and promote a healthy action
of the digestive organs. Thus it is,not
what we say but what Hoods Sarsa-
par,lla does that tells the story and
constitutes the strongest recommends
ton that can be urged for any medi-
cine. Why not take Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla now?

What Became of a Fourth of July
Speech.
BY WILL NISSClIER.

1t was the summer of 1862. The
armies of the Tennessee and the Cum
berland had just passed through the
campaign that followed the occupany
ofNashville by the union forces; Buell. 5
army it was that had made a forced
march of ten days from Nashville to
Pittsburgh Landing, the last "a hours
of which had been ''double-quick" 4

through rain and mud. and the last II
hours in the night, with the mud and
rain accompaniments. to the field of
Shiloh, there to relieve Grant stricken
troops and to retrieve the first day $
disaster.
Through that bloody field. and the
evils that followed it-mud. cold, hun
gcr-thc most terrible dcprivations and
discomforts. indeed. known to soldier
life i'm times oi war. came the siege and
capture Of Corinth, the battle Of Iuka
Springs. the march to Decatur and
Tuscumbia, and then on toward Hunts
vile. 1t was within a few miles ofthe
last named place that the army lay en-
campcd, in the early days of July, and
in Il level valley. where there were wide
stretches of plain and here and there
forests of towering live-Oak.
Here the Fourth of July was cclc-
hrated in almost Il homelikc way.
\ stand was erected beneath the
trees, and seats were improviScd of logs
and of poles laid across wooden forks
driven into the ground The stand
was arbored with boughS of green, and

HER NOBLEST DUTY.

The forms of life are subject to law,
and broken law avumges itself by
making an end of the law breaker. The
new woman wilhnOt continue long in
the land. Like other fashions, she is
destined to excite notice, to be admir-
ed, criticised, and forgotten. The H.
berty which she evOkes will be fatal to
her. If on mems selection of their
mates the future depends they
are still, by force of numbers, able to
choosc-what likelihood is there that
an untamed Marcella-still less the
scientific Evadne, and the ''sauage Vi
per" vito chloroform on her toilet ta-
ble-will attract either Hercules or
Apollo?
Who would bind himself to spend
his days with the Anarchist, the ath-
lete, the blue-s.ocking, the agressively
philanthropic, the political, the surgi-
cal woman! And what man would sub
nit to an alliance which was termina-
bic, not when he chose, but when his
cOmrade was tired of him! Such are
not the ideals to which he has looked
up or the qualities that win his atfec
tions.
The age of chivalry cannot die so
long as woman keeps her peculiar
grace, which is neither rugged nor
stores of crudition. but human nature
predestined to motherhood. She is
called upon, in the plain language of
Mr. Carpenter, ''to bear children, to
guard them, to teach them, to turn
them out strong and healthy citizens
of the great world" And she has a
divine right to all that will fit her for
so noble duty.
