There is no name in this section Of the
country, connected with the medical world,
that is better known to TIE public than that
of Mr.. Monroe Peterson. He is situated Ill
a nice, comfortable home, with q good farm,
about four miles west Of Johnson City, ILL.,,
He is now ffty-eight years old, III a hcaliAy
condition, and weighs one hundred and Elnc;y
pounds. Not q more upright and honorable
citizen does our nation afford, and lie is
looked upon with wonder, because OF LIS
healthy condition after so long q period OF
misery and suffering.
The cause of Mr.. Peterson's long suffering
was a hurt which he received il n fall, While
running O drill in 1861, being n soldier at
the time. He has been crippled IL lis right
leg ever since that date. Sciatic Reclamation
then set in, and his leg began to slowly
wither away and draw up in the joint, end
now it is about two inches shorter than the
other. 1t began to grow worse and, finally,
his whole body began to shake Ike n person
with the St. Nitus' dance. lis first severe
attack was about six years ago.
There is no disease in the power of Human
endurance more awful in its rains and
Affections than s~ciatic Rheumatism. Some
times its pain may be q slow. steady one,
while, at other times, it comes with jerks
and wrenchcs that seem to twist the body
out of all shape Of recognition. it seems "a
contract the muscles, drawing the body a.
most in a knot. While this Is lrohah!y tic

with Mr.. Peterson, but with it was asset.
comfortable and unbearable. Tie body was
in a continual shake. rendering it impos>i' =
for him to do ANYTHING. He had lost a
control of his muscles. On aspiration to &
physician for relief, he was told That tx
affection might last him all his lie, or. o.
the other hand, it might leave him entirely
at an unexpected moment.
For over three years ne w2s rot able f.
write a word, 50 severe was his shaking. y,
could not even sign his vouchers, thereby
having TO make his mark and witness it. 4
this time he could not walk a step withoU'

Thou wilt have passed to fields unseen,
To meadows of perennial May,

Nor feet the vernal flowers away.

Still by my side thou'lt wander IN
As though thou ne'cr hadst taken wing.

Greet each new flower that May unfurls,
Still mix thy murmur with the streams
And blend thy music with the merlc's.
Then. as in vespcrtinal dreams,
The suns tired rays rcceding slant,

The nightingalc's awaking chant.
Fast falls the night. I will not weep.
All. no! Not tears shall be thy dover
To carry through the folds Of sleep
Into the cline of leaf and flower!

Each instant grows its eerle sway.

hand, and he goes to meet it calmly and
fearlessly. He has offered his life, and he
is willing to give it. In ordinary affairs,
a mans life is pledged in another way

A man who is weak from loss Of flesh,

death or consumption, can IN no way per

these things go on, it is because he pre-

FEATHERED ~DRUNKARDS.
Shocking Depravity on the Part Of Birds
Witnessed by Andrew Lang.


A queer story is told by Mr.. Andrew
Lang The incident came under his own
notice and occurred under the bridge
over the Lochy, below the Ben Nevis
Long John distillery. From this tale it
is obvious that animals are only sober
from lack of wit TO obtain alcohol:
That establishment ~disgorgcs into a
burn a quantity of refuse, no doubt al
cohOlIc. When we crossed the bridge in
the morning to fish, the ducks from the
farm opposite were behaving in IA drunk
en- and disorderly manner-fying, beat
ing the water, diving, spluttering and
greedily devouring the stuff from the
dlstlllery. Their antics were funny, but
vulgar. By 2 o'clock we found the
debauch. We awakened them, and they
all staggered eagerly to a bucket Of wa
ter, from which they quenched the tor
ments of thirst. A small sea bird behay-
ed in "a still more deplorable way. He
slowly drifted down the Lochy from the
fatal Intoxicating burn, nor could peb-
bles judiciously thrown at him induce
him to take the wing. He tried TO dive,
making efforts comic and unsuccessful
After drifting through the bridge l re-
greet to say that he returned to the burn
and took a cup Of kindness yet get
ting all the more intoxicated and drift
ing back in a yet more deplorable condi-
ton. What a lesson, we said, is this to
mankind, who, after all, need not speak
Of their boasted reasonableness! The

ocean are as unwise as We"

The Emperor William has II Wallets,
whose duty it is to take care of his
uniforms and costumes, the value of
which is estimated at 100000. The
London Globe correspondent says that
his uniforms Of the German army and
navy, including helmets, caps, shakos,
rifles, swords and sabers, are kept in
cupboards. Next to these come the
uniforms of Saxons, Bavarians, Hes
slams and others, Separated in other
large cupboards are the Austrian, Rus
sian, Swedish, English and Italian
uniforms, all ready to accompany the
kaiser in his journeys or to be used on
the occasion of princely visits. Final
ly must be mentioned his hunting and
shooting costumes, his court dresses,
his yachting and lawn tennis uniforms
and his private dresses. When the
emperor travels, his uniforms and cos

Edward Geddings, farmer, living
near Sumter, S. c., had been i'll for six
weeks with the prevalent grip. He
became much worse, and in few days
died-that is, was pronounced dead
by doctors, nurse and relatives. The
coffin was ordered and the body was
prepared for burial. In the afternoon
it was placed in the coffin, and the in
terment was to take place next morn
ing, During the evening while the
room was full of the dead man S friends,
who were talking in low tones, voice
was heard issuing from the coffin. One
of the holder men opened the lid and
Geddings rose to sitting posture and
spoke to them. He was quickly I'M
dressed and put to bed. He has i'm
proved and there are now hopes of his
recovery. Doctors say it is remark
able case of suspended animation.

Last Shot of the War.

Four years ago while blowing in his
field near Parker's Store, in Spottsyl-
vania county, Mr.. E. P. C. Chewing
plowed up a long bullet-shaped cannon
shot, and thinking it of no account, put
it on top of fence post to dry.
A few days ago Mr. Chewing was
burning brush near the shell, and be-
ing of an experimental turn of mind
concluded to put the shell IN the fire
and see if it would Ego off. He did
so, and making a hasty retreat from
the shell-charged brush pile, had got
ten about $50 yards away when ter
rife explosion occurred which Jared
the ground for several hundred yards
around the fire, and could be heard
many miles. Burning brands were
scattered in all directions, and Mr..
Chewing on looking for some parts OF
the she'll could only find a large hole
in the ground He said he never heard
a cannon shot go off before, and never
wants to hear another go off. He took
an inventory of the damages, and found
the adjoining trees badly cut up, but
otherwise no damage done-Freder-

Beefsteak S48 a Pound.

The first beefsteak that ever reached
Circle City, Alaska, sold for $48 a
pound a few weeks ago. The steak
consisted of a ten-pound piece of the
beef that was slaughtered at Forty
Mile Creek, and was packed at that
place and was shipped $50 miles to
Circle City, by Thomas O'Brien. When
O'Brien reached the camp, the miners
turned out in a body to see the steak.
1t was placed on exhibition, and it at
tracted as much attention as an eight
legged calf. Everybody wanted a
piece of the fresh meat, and the prices
offered were such as would have re-
suited in a mining camp quarrel or
bloodshed, if it had not been decided
to rattle the steak off for the benefit of
a hospital which Bishop Rowe is trying
to establish Tor the miners at circle
City.
At first only S. per pound was Of
fered for a slice of the steak, but the
bidding became brisker as the meat,was
sliced, and as high as $35 per pound
was offered. Finally, in order to avoid
complications, it was decided to sell
tickets at so cents to $3.50 for the
privilege of drawing for slice. After
$3.50 worth of tickets had been sold
the drawing began, and to the relief
of the managers of the sale no trouble
resulted in the disposition of Circle
City's first beefsteak.

Wheeler, of Highland Falls, N. T.,
saws the New York Herald. Wheeler
has documents which clearly prove
the authenticity of his claim.
Wheeler cousin was on Jackson's
staff. Early on the morning of May l
1868, Jackson's division, in accordance
with the decision of a council of war,
moved toward Charlottesville. Lee
had yielded TO Jackson's advice to
flank the Union forces. The stratagem
was complete success, and sickles
column went TO pieces under the ter
rife onslaught of $4,000 graycoats.
1t was while accommodating In the
darkness that evening that jackson S
own men, installing their leader and
his staff for Union cavalry, poured a
shower of bullets into their midst, and,
although several pierced the intrepid
leader, it was the one in Mr.. Wheeler's
possession that made the fatal wound
The surgeon who amputated Jack
sons arm threw the bullet against the
wall in a violent fit of anger, and
Wheelers cousin picked it up and car
ried it through the war The former
Confederate died long after the war,
and Wheeler going through his effects
recently found the bullet and its his
