strongest protest against the non-ful-

There has been much written and said
OF late concerning a memorial monument

then they could defeat the adoption OF
this amendment.
Mr. Lincoln's previous proclamation as
10 emancipation was referred TO and
discussed.
some conversation then took place az
10 the status Of West Virginia in the
Union; and as TO the confscation acts
and opinions were freely expressed, and
In the enforcing Of these acts Mr.. LIN
coin said they might be assured he should
exercise the power Of the Executive most
literally; and then came the subject OF
paying for the slaves, and Mr.. Lincoln
remarked he would be willingly taxed to
remuneratc the southern people for their
slaves; he was satisfied the people OF the
North were as much responsible for the
institution as the South and II the war
would then end with slavery abolished
and restoration Of the Union, he would
favor, as an individual, the government
paying fair price for them-and he
thought this feeling was strong in the
North; he knew some who favored $780,
10000 TO pay for the slaves, and persons.
whose names you would not suppose,
would indorse this. II the war would then
cease, with slavery abolished. and the
Union restored; but he merely expressed
his own feelings on the subject and what
he believed TO be the views Of others.
but he could make no stipulation nor
enter into any assurance.
In this connection, Mr.. Seward said
that the North was 50 weary OF the war
he believed they would willingly pay
for the slaves an amount required TO
continue tho war.
The exchange OF prisoners was then
talked over. and Mr.. Lincoln was willing
to do something and would put the mat
ter in the hands OF General Grant.

mutual friends on both sides of the

When the appetite fails there is no use in
trying 10 tempt the palate with delicate food
No matter how good and well-cooked aud
"appetizing" the food may be, il cannot
give any ncurishment unless the stomach IS
able TO digest it, Nature indicates the state
of the constitution by the loss Of appetite
This is an unfailing indicator. 1t shows
that something is fundamentally wrong
with the nutrtive functions
The only true natural relief must be as
searching and fundamental as the trouble it
aims TO overcome. II IS the thorough deep
searching character of Or. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, which causes the mar
velous efficacy in all bilious and digestive
difficulties. II creates that healthful vitality
of the entire digestive and nutritive organ
ism which produces both the natural desire
for food and the organic capacity to assimi-
late and transform it into nourishing, reviv-
flying blood and healthy tissue. 1t gives
appetite, digestion and sound sleep, and
builds UP solid muscular strength and
vital nerve energy.
H. II. Thompson, Esq, OF p o. Box 4, Ripple,
Blair Co., Penna, writes: i had been troubled
with extreme vomiting in summer season, al
ways after eating; had TO be very careful at times
10 get anything To stay my stomach al all; had
been taxing other medicines, but without effect

Medical Discovery, aud thought would give it
trial. fused about five bottles Of il and think il
is the only medicine that did me any good as

any medicine at all aud don't think I I'D any

A man who is suffering from the evil
effects of constipation doesn't feel like
work, and can't even enjoy his leisure
hours. DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are a
sure, swift, safe, and permanent cure for
constipation. They are tiny, sugar coated
pranuies. One little pellet" is a gentle
laxative, and two mild ca,hartic. They
never grippe. Dishonest druggists try to

Then. suddenly putting a whistle TO
his mouth, he blew n low cry, which
was answered by other whistles, when.
to the Captains amaZement. five ruf-
fianly figures sprang, as 1t seemed 10
him, out Of the very graves under his
feet
This was n bit OF romance which the
Captain had read Of in yellow-coyered
books. but had never seen with his
own eyes. Ii was enough to unsettle
the opinion he had just expressed to
the outlaw.
With a hearty shake OF the outlaws
hand the Captain wendell his way
back home, and the next day made good
his promise by promptly calling on the
Governor, and urging him to pardon his
quondam friend. His suit was. however,
fruitless.

The late Mr. Hierholzer, who knew
Granyille's father. as also his son. also
told me that as a Confederate scout or

worthy. He disappeared quite suddenly
from Richmond several years after tho
close OF the war, and played quite sue
cessfully in North Carolina the role OF

She Made Him Pay,

1t was IL round between the new wo-
man and the erstwhile tyrannical but
now subduad lord Of croution-mm-
and it ended with victory for the new
woman.
She was on her wheel, in all the
glory of boomers, and the scene was at
Forest park, New Orleans, during its
most crowded hour on Il recent after
noon. She was alert; but, alas, at the
very moment when she was doing her
best and boldest an awkward, lumb
ing, horrid man, also trying to gui,!e
his wheel through the intricate mazt
of humanity in the park, rode full tilt
against her and threw her to the ground.
The shock broke the seat off her beloved
bike.
Did she weep, did she shrek, did she
faint, this new woman? Did she sit
down and wiring her hands and allow
the wrecker of her bicycle to scorch
away scot free? She did not. She grab
bed that man and held ON to him and
called for policeman to arrest him if
he failed at once to fork out So. so to
pay for the damage done. The poor fel
low first tried to beg off temporarily,
offering her his card and telling her he
would make it all right tomorrow, I"
but she refused to give him time, and a
crowd gathered and took deep interest
in the controversy, and the man STAN
mered and blushed, but at last produced
the 81 80 and then rode away, cursing
his fate.
And the new woman smiled and put
the So 80 in her pocket and led her
wheel from the park triumphant. New
