The nexttwoprisoners both bore historical

otherP Philip Sheridan. Andrew comes from
the dangerous Southern atmosphere of Flor

roust low and sleep sound.
y good many ROSTERS and hens in the

How to Prevent, Pneumonia.

At this time of the year a cold is very easily contracted, and if left to run its course without the aid of some reliable cough medicine is liable to result in that dread disease, pneu- monia. We know of no better rem edy to cure a cough or cold than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy We have used it quite extensively and it has always given entire satifac- tion.-Olagah, Ind. Ter. Chief.
 This is the only remedy that is known to be a certain preventive of pneumonia. Among the many thousands who have used it for colds and la grippe, we have never yet learned of single case having resulted in pm eumonia.

Tho main reason why the bulk of the tax is not collected before that date Is because nearly all th9 tax payers purposelv wait to pay ill the last week. which is aimpossible. Even practical business men estimate that their taxes are due the first of Apri but the law says they are due on the first Monday-in January, and it is absolutely necessary that . some four thousand people pay their taxes during January and February in order for lis to wait on taxpayers before the time expires by law, For obvious reasons it is essential that the law be strictly enforced in this re gard. and thus clearly emphasize the situa- tion in order that no one may be mislead by any former pr5eent. 5s'ssA

To Onr Subscribers.

During the present month state ments have been sent to such of our subscribers as are in arrears to the Semi Weekly GRAPHIC. These state ments of accounts are in pursuance of the customary business policy, and we hope our subscribers will receive them with good will and make as early response as possible II any mistakes have been made in any of these statements of account, the same will be promptly and cheerfuny corrected at our business office.
 During the last few years the GRAPHIC has been lenient with it's delinquent subscribers, and at the same time has changed from a Weekly to Semi-Weeklyn newspaper, thereby giving it's readers two papers week, with more reading matter, for the former price of one.
 Therefore we must ask those who are indebted to us for subscription, to settle the same at once without further delay. The GRAPHIC needs money and has earned that which is due it, and there is no reason why it's subscription accounts should not he paid the same as other accounts.
 Those who are in arrears to the GRAPHIC will therefore save them selves time and trouble by settling their indebtedness Ut once.

Mime. Bonaparte at the ruilerIes.

Mime. Bonaparte continued to play the part of the old aristocrat, and gathered to the Tuileries ever larger numbers of the fortune-hunting nobil- ity, who hoped that Bonaparte's eleva- ton would yet prove a stepping-stone to restore the Bourbons. These ele- gant persons laughed in their sleeves Rt what they heard and saw. The dress and state of the monarchy were restored, but neither the chief magis- trate himself nor the late republicans who had made good their position at court had the inctinations, the man. ners or the morals of those for whom the social institutions of royalty had been developed. The returning nobles thought 1t very funny that the great man liked seclusion and found what amusement he took in ghost stories. in the signing of the wind, in brusoue sallies of coarse wit, or in the rude fa- miliarities of bluff intimacy with plain people, they considered it very absurd that his vices were commonplace and perhaps even worse; they thought it Imaginable that the newcomers slipped on the polished floors, and it seemed most entertaining that the pentle- women of the old regime who. like Mme. de Remusat, had accepted per- manent positions as ladies of the pal ace, were often subjected to treatment and put into positions not foreseeu in the training they had received from courtly tutors.
