constantly praise S SIS. for giving him
back his health. He says:

too much for them, and after their ten.

disease and having tried so manv remc-
dies without elief, when friend urged
me to take SIS S. had little faith in any
medicine. 1 was happy TO find, however,
that / had at last gotten the right remedy,
for one bottle of SIS did me so much
good that soon had hopes of being cured
continued the remedy, and was cured

disappeared, leaving my skin perfectly

is of course, natural and commendable, but

are sergeants.
TIE CAPTAIN CHAPMAN BUTTONS.
Chapman constantly goes about bidding the
Romans mark him. He has buttons with his
picture on them, which he distributes broad
cast and which he is proud TO all his
quaintances and as many others possible
wearing 1t is a standing joke about the pre-
cinct that these buttons general passports
and that they carry with them singular privi-
leges and indulgences. 1t is not Of record
whether any experiment has been made to test
this theory. He also has his desk drawer CO.
piousy supplied with larger photographs Of him
self, which readily given away to those who
have a little larger claim than would call sim
ply for buttons.
1t is the delight Of Chapmans heart to go to
the Casino and see the imitation OF himself on
the stage in THE Whir Of the Town" lie goes
there night after night and listens to the actor
who represents him singing the song about his
"highly moral whskers." He is seen constantly
too, at the other theatres but at about the time
the end Of the first act Of THE Whirl Of the
Town" is to be expected he appears at the Ca
slno to hear the song, to watch the actors blow
ing at the whskers with little bellows, and to
listen deligbtedly to the imitation Of the whist
ling wind. He offered the other day to give but
tons with his picture on them to all the girls in
the chorus. This is not the first time that an
imitation Of the Captain has been given on the
s1agn, but it is perhaps the best. and the Cap
tain gloats over it more than he has over any Of
the others.
One OF Chapman's great prides is In his war
record He enlisted in the Doth New-York Regi-
ment as a drummer boy, being then fourteen
years DID, and he boasts that he was In twenty
two battles. He IS never tired of telling stories
Of these twenty-five battles and If he learned all
that he relates about them simply by looking on
as they occurred he must have a wonderful mem

OF THE PUBLIC GAZE.
Stroers in upper Broadway in the last few
months have often turned to get second looks at
two famous persons Both Of them have been
familiar figures there for much moro than a
few months. but 1t has been only within that
time that the repetidons Of That's him." and

the two persons are Captain Chapman. OF the

Tendcrloin, and Miss Annabel Moore.

echoed more and more often
Captain Chapman is fairly entitled to count
himself one Of the public characters of New
York. He is OF the persons whom people
point out to one another and screw their heads
around to look at over their shoulders And it is
well for there is nothing he likes better, and
there is nobody who likes it better This Is the
keynote OF the mans character; he loves to be
in the public eye. This vanity and its kindred
personal ambition the moving principles Of
his nature. Years ago he gratihed by being
made sergeant. About a week after this
happy occurrence he met acquaintance On
the street who said: you look tired. Sergeant;
what have you been doing|'
