A MADRIGAL.

The past is as rose,
Whose faded petals are forever sweet,
And doth in death disclose
A fragrance meet
10 perfume the still chamber where
A heart holds all most sweet, most
fair.
And times own hand made fast
The easement, long ago,
Against sad autumn's blast,
Chill winters snow;
And so the present cannot enter now
And steal its sweetness from that rose
The past"

JUDGE GRIGGs VISITS ALBANY.
Was the Center of Interested Groups. Tells
of His Congressional Experience.
lm the AlhanN Herald.

From the Albany Herald.
Congressman j. NJ. Griggs is in the
city. He spent yesterday shaking
hands and talking politics with his
friends about town.
The Judge is splendid talker and
he was at all times the center of an in
terested group as he related his expe-
rience in the house and told anecdotes
about its celebrated members. <xa
He says Tom Reed is a good el@gss
personally, of social and pleasant Dis
position, but he is violently partisan,
and hates the south like the devig
With all his partisanship, however, he
likes the southern members better than
he does those from own down eastern
section, their iceberg-like qualities not
being so we'll relished by man of his
sunny temperament.
The tariff bill is regarded by Judge
Griggs as wonderfully good thing
for the protected interests, but very
bad thing for all the balance of the
country. He believes it will, however,
together with the silver question, have
the effect of returning a large demo-
cratic majority in the next congress.
Judge GrIggS is looking well, though
he says he has had a hard time of it
loatiing around Washington this sum
mer with nothing to do but wait for
Mr.. Reed to settle the tariff question.
But during the time he has been "loaf-
ing around" he has managed to secure
a place on one of the committees in
which the people of this section are
most interested-that of post offices
aud post roads. This shows that he
has made a favorable impression upon
the ''Great White Gar" fact which
Will enable him to advance the inter
ests of his constituents during the reg
ular session vet to come.

ONE OF TWO WAYS,

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine,
and as such it is not liable to any form of
disease except by one of two ways. The
first way is from imperfect action of the
kidneys. The second way is from care
less local treatment of other diseases,
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause of bladder troub-
les. SO the womb, like the bladder, was
created Cor enc purpose, and if not doc
tOred too much is not liable to weakness
or disease, except in rare cases. 1t is
situated back of and very close to the
bladder, therefore any pam, disease or
inconvenience manifested in the kidneys,
back, bladder or urinary passage is often,
by mistake, attributed to female weak
ness or womb trouble of some sort. The
error is easily made and may be as east
lY avoided. To find out correctly set
your urine aside for twenty four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and extra
ordinary effect of DR.. Gilmer's Swamp
