ANOTHER BIG DAMAGE SUIT.

ELECTRIC BITTERS.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gener
ally needed when the languid, exhausted
feeling prevails, when the liver is tor
pod and sluggish and the need of tonic
and alternative is felt. A prompt use OF
this medicine has often averted long and
perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medi.
cine will act more surely in counteractine

poison. Headache, Indigestion, Consti-

nothing, and the sheriff proceeded to do
nothing, not even notifying the coroner,
although there were some parties pres

some foul play in the killing of Bailey,

BAbOOn Soldiers.

Man is not the only animal who car

lied bands and calls in the forces Of
nature to assist him. The German nat
uralist and traveller Brehm witnessed

Quoted in as orderly manner as if
the warriors had been really men in
stead Of only somewhat like them in
form, says the Youths Companion.
The actors in the play were balloons
and their enemies were in one case the
travellers dogs, though the balloons
were ready to fight with any creature
that attacked them, man only excepted.
and he owed his exemption solely to
the fact that the balloons could not
often gain a point of vantage.
The naturalist himself was once
stoned out Of pass in a very lew min

upon lodges and stones, looked down
for few moments on the valley. gr0wl-
ing, snarling, and screaming, and then
began to roll down stones with SO
much vigor and adoitness that the in
truders took to flight. The balloons
evidently knew the value of co-opera-
ton, for the naturalists saw two of
them combine their efforts in order to
set a particularly heavy stone rolling.
One monkey, bent on making the most
of his missile, was seen to carry a stone
ND a tree that he might hurl it with
greater effect.
On the occasion when the dogs at

Two OF Grants Anecdotes.
In the Century Gen. Horace Porter
gives the following anecdotes that were
related by Grant at the headquarters
mess:
Il was with Gen. Taylor's command
In Mexico when he not only failed to
receive re-enforcements but found that
nearly all his regulars were to be sent
away from him to join Gen. Scott. Tay-
lor was apt to be little absentminded
when absorbed in any perplexing prob
lem. and the morning he received the
discouraging news he sat down to
breakfast in brown study, poured out
cup Of coffee, and, instead of putting
In the sugar, he reached out and got
hold of the mustard pot and stirred
half a dozen spoonfuls of it's contents
into the coffee. He didn't realize what
he had done till he took a mouthful,
and then he broke out in a towering
rage.
I'VE learned something at Shiloh
about the way in which the reports of
losses are sometimes exaggerated in
battle. At the close Of the first days
fight Sherman met colonel of one of
his regiments with only about 100 of
his soldiers in ranks and said to him:
Why, where are your menu The col
onel cast his eyes sadly along the line.
wiped tear from his cheek and re-
piled in whimpering voice: We went
in 800 strong and that's all that's left
Of u.s. You don't tell me! exclaimed
Sherman, beginning to be deeply at
fected by the fearful result Of the car
mage! Yes said the colonel, the
rebs appeared to have a special spite
against u.s. Sherman passed along
some hours afterward, when the COM
missary was issuing rations, and found
that tie coloneIs men were returning
on the run from under the bank of the
river, where they had taken shelter
from the firing, and in few minutes
nearly all of the lost 700 had returned
and were boiling coffee and eating
hearty meal. with an appetite that
showed they were still very much
alive"

Gen. Grants secretiveness.

Gen. Horace Porter's campaigning
with Grant" takes up the Dash for
Petersburg" in the Century" Gen.
Porter says concerning Gen. Grants
secretiveness:
After the general had got some miles
out on the march from Cold Harbor, an
officer of rank joined him. and as they
rode along, began to explain a plan
which he had sketched providing for the
construction of another line Of intrench-
ments some distance in rear of the
lines then held by us, to be used in
case the army should at any time want
to fall back and move toward the
James, and should be attacked while
withdrawing. The general kept on
smoking his cigar, listened to the pro-
position for time, and then quietly
remarked to the astonished officer:
The army has already pulled out from
the enemyis front, and is now on its
march to the James"
This is mentioned as an instance OF
how we'll his secrets could be kept. He
had never been a secretive man until
the positions of responsibility in which
he was placed compelled him to be
chary in giving expression to his opin-
ions and purposes. He then learned
the force Of the philosophers maxim
that 1.-THE unspoken word is sword in
the scabbard, while the spoken word is
q sword in the hand of ones enemy"
In the field there were constant visitors
to the camp. ready to circulate care
lessly any limitations of the command
er's movements, at the risk Of having
such valuable information reach the
enemy. Any encouraging expression
given to an applicant for favors was
ant to be tortured into a promise. and
the general naturally became guarded
in his intercourse When questioned be-
yond the bounds of propriety his lips
closed like a wise, and the obtruding
party was left to supply all the sub
sequent conversation.
These circumstances proclaimed him
q man who studied to be uncommuni-
cative, and gave him q reputation for
reserve which could not fairly be at
tributed to him. He was called the
American Sphinx" Ulysses the ST.
lent" and the Great Unspeakable."
and was popularity supposed to move
about with sealed lips. It Is true that
IA had NO "small talk" introduced
merely for the sake Of talking. and
uasnv n one will rec0llect the embar-
rasurent Of q first encounter with him
resulting from this fact: but while.
IKE Shakspeare's soldier, he never
wore his dagger in his mouth, yet in
talking TO q small circle q friends up
on matters which he had given special
consideration, his conversation was 20
thoughtful, Philosophical. and original

him.
