PILES!
CONsTIPATTON

SHOULD not be regarded as
a trifing ailment-in fact, nature
demands the utmost regularity Of
the bowels, and any deviation
from this demand paves the way
often to serious danger. 1t is
quite as necessary to remoye
impure accumulations from the
bowels as it is to eat or sleep, and
no health can be expected where
a ccstivc habit Of body prevails.

Justice Long Renominated.

AS has been anticipated, Chief Justice
Charles ID. Long was renominated by the
State republican convention at Detroit.
to succeed himself on the State supreme
court bench. This action must be re-
garded as a marked popular esteem for
Long as man, and OF the highest conf
dence in his fidelity and eminent ability
as jurist by the bar of the state. The
@0trepeated declaration that in no other
country than ours are such opportuni
ties and incentives for ad yancemeDt avail
able TO the humblest OF it's citizens, has
been most strikingly exemplified in tn
career OF Chief Justice Long, Although
n native oil Michigan, having been born
at Grand Blanc, Genesee county, in SAL
Judge Long is worthy scion of colonial
New England stock, his paternal auces.
tors emigrated from England to Massa-
>chussets Bay, early in the 18th century:
while those OF his mother were for several
generations identified with the pioneers
OF Connecticut, Derived from those
stern old Puritan ancestors, whose prin-
cples OF patriotism, religious observance
and Underwriting habits tf industry and
thrift have left their lndelible mark upon
thegovernment and society OF nearly every
northern State OF the Union, and nur-
tured in such home, it is not singular
that Charles ID. Long should have given
evidences at tender age OF temperament
too active and energetic for confinement
within the hnmble and limited environ.
Ineuts Of bis birth, and such indeed was
the fact; for we find him at the age of
thirteen years so far advanced IN the rud-
Aments OF an education as to be an appIi-
cant for admission to the school at Flint
where he was admitted to the course
preparatory to entering the freshman
class in the University OF Michigan.
Here young Long pursued his studies
fOr brief period, but finding his funds
insufficient to carry him through with
the strictest economy, he secured a coun-
try school, and became a teacher before !
he had reached the age OF 16 years. He |
continued, however, TO pursue his own |
studies as opportunity afforded and after |
Hour years OF earnest and unremittipg
EFFORT he had the proud satisfaction, at
20 years OF age, OF being declared compe-
cent to enter the freshman class OF the
University. But such was not his des-
tiny. Within a few months, and before
Ms plans we're matured, the news swept
oyer the country that a portion OF it's cit
liens had raised their hands against
the )vernment in armed defiance. The
life oil the nation was threatened, and the
government had called for defenders.
The great heart Of the patriotic north
responded. Thousands we're hurryIng to
the front. The air OF patriotism entered
the nostrils and caused the blood Of
long line OF Puritan ancestors to tingiei in
the veins OF the Flooding student. The
voice OF his country called; and the hum
