the war department, and in 1853 was
appointed assistant secretary OF war,
which Office he held until after the
surrender of Lee. He was brought
into close personal relations with Mr..
Stanton and Mr.. Lincoln. At the time
when Gen. Grants character and prob
able usefulness were unknown quan-
titles, Mr.. Dana's confidence in Grants
military ability probably did much
to defeat the powerful effort then
making to break down the rising
saddle at the front much of the time
during the campaigns of Northern
Mississippi and Vicksburg, the rescue
of Chattanooga and the marches and
battles of Virginia in 1864 and 1855.

the Sun stock company in 1867. The

a few days of his death Mr.. Dana was
soley responsible for it's conduct. His
criticisms of civil maladministration
during Gen. Grants terms as president
led to a notable attempt on the part
of that administration in July, 1873, to

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfeld, Mo-,
writes: "For six years have been q
sufferer from a scrofulous affection OF
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, D. c.,
Springfield, Ill, and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After SIX
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to re-
moval of the gland. At this critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside a deep-rooted preJu-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though | am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had I only used your SIS. long ago,
l would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $I5o."
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts TO the knife prove either
fruit1ess or fatal. SIS. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root OF
the disease and forces it out perna-
nently.

Napoleon stipulated only GOO francs. Marbois, his negotiat- or. deemed this too small. and demanded 120,000000 francs, but after argument with Livingston and Monro= cut the sum to S0,000000 francs. To this the Ameri- can plenipotentiaries at last agreed, re- serving the condition that 10000, GOO francs of the amount should go in pay ment of claims held by citizens of the United States against France. Thenc- forward cares gathered thick and fast about Bonaparte, and he was soon launched upon one of h,s greatest wars with no thought of Louisiana and the United States. The transaction was momentous in enhancing the fame of Jefferson. broadening the area of this nation, strengthening Bonaparte in Eu- rope and almost annihilating Austria.

AS A HABlTUAL CRIMINAL.
New Hampshire People Surprised By Law
 and Its Power.

From the New York Evening Post.
 A New Hampshire Judge the other day sentenced a man to forty-five years in sha state prison as an habitual criminal. The offender had been indicted on three counts for breaking and entering, and, being convicted upon each count, the judge madei the penalty fiftesn years for each, or forty-five years in all. The county solicitor had previously called the attention of the court to the mans criminal record, and, in reply to the judges question:, th= acused admitted that he had been in prison twice be- foe, and that this would make his third term.
 The action of t.e judge in imposing what is practically a life sentence, as the man is now about 40 years old, ere atsd much surprise in New Hampshire as people did not know that ths courts nave the right to punish an offender as an habitual criminal. Yet an act was passed In 1893 which expressly pro- Vlded that any person who has been twice convicted of crime, sentenced, and committed to prison for terms not less than three years each, shall, upon con- Viction of felony committed in this state, and upon proof of such former convictions, sentences, and committals, be dsemsd to be an habftual criminal and shall be punished by imprisonment in the stats prison for a term not exceed ing fifteen years" The astonishing statement $ made by the Concord Moni- ror that, although this act went upon the statute book four years ago, the re- cent sentence was the first ever imposed by any judge in the state Such is mod ern legislation, as administered by mod ern courts,
