How the Ex-President Displayed It on the
Stump In Tennessee.

How the Ex-President Displayed It on the
Stump In Tennessee.
There is in the city of Memphis a
precinct known as Pinch, in which q
majority of the voters were Irish. 1t SO
happened that Andrew Johnson and his
opponent for the United States senate,
Gus Henry, We're to meet In joint de-
bate in this precinct. The evening came,
and hundreds of blue Irish eyes were on
the two speakers IS they assembled the
Sostrum. Henry opened, and as a bid
for the Irish vote he told in whitening
terms how Johnson, wien III congress
before, had voted against a bill for an
appropriation to assist Ireland during a
time of famine. He himself had done
yeoman work for the passage of the bill,
while this other man, who was now
asking their support, had done every
thing possible to defeat it. 1t was a fine
point, and the speaker made the most
Of it, burning before it the lamp of his
eloquence until the crowd were wild
with excitement. Then Henry sat down,
and johnson got up amid catcalls and
SCOTS to answer him.
What my opponent has told you is
true, !" he said. ireland was suffering,
and voted against IN appropriation for
her relief, for the money which it was
thus proposed to give away was not
mine, but yours; yours because it was
in the public Golfers. l refused to give
away money which did not belong to
me, but went down into NY own peck
ct and out of my w private funds
which | had a right to bestow-I sub
scribed $500 to the relief fund which was
being quietly raised. How much of his
own money did Mr.. Henry give? Not a
cent. He was too busy trying to give
away yours. Now, gentlemen, which Of
us two did the better part by suffering
Ireland:" The effect Of this was magical.
The catcalls were now for Henry and
the cheers for johnson.
Thus the campaign went on, ending
in a victory for the ex-tailor, who once
more took his place among the statesmen
of the land. But his term was a short
one. for death soon claimed him. But
he left behind him a reputation as a
''stump' speaker which abides still
upon the hustings down in Tennessee.

Great Esteem.

Great Esteem.
As is generally known, it is a pun
ishable offense in the state of New York
for any person to attempt to take his
life, although it is not SO if the attempt
be successful-which makes self murder
somewhat different legally from the
other kind. AS is also very generally
known, New York. individually and
collectively, is disposed to forever point
the finger of scorn at her large and
growing neighbor, Philadelphia.
Not long ago a prisoner was before a
New York judge charged with attempt
ed suicide, and the judge, being a man
who lived on Easy street, where it was
sunny in winter and shady in summer,
frowned fercely on the culprit because
he couldn't understand how any man
would want to quit this life until he
was forced to do SO.
Your honor" pleaded the culprit,
looking into the frowning face of jus
tice, there were mitigating circum-
stances"
The judge frowned more fiercely at
the thought of offering an excuse for
such a crime and said nothing.
"But there were, your honor, insist
ed the prisoner. 1.-The firm l am work
ing for informed me last Saturday night
that l would have to go to Philadelphia
to live, as they were compelled to make
a change"
The judges entire demeanor under
went a rapid transformation.
Great goodness" he exclaimed in a
Mortified tone. The prisoner is acquit-
ted and the clerk will please make ont
a warrant for tie arrest of the firm fer
assault with intent to kill. "-WashiI.-

FROM ASTHMA.
HAS BEEN AFFORDED MANY SUI
FERERS IN BELFAST.

If there was doubt in the mind of any suf-
ferer from Asthma in this town as to the
truth of the claims made for Dr. Schiff-
mann's Asthma Cure, that doubt no longer
remains, providing he was among those who
called at A. A. Howes & Co.'S Drug Store
last week and obtained a free sample pack
age. great number who have already
tried the same declare in positive terms that
relief was immediate; that the wretched
spasms were checked; that free expectora-
ton was induced; that reclining position
was readily assumed and gratefully main
tanned; that the sleep which followed was
restful and unbroken, and that the morning
brought clear head and feeling of de-
lighted thankfulness which no words are
too strong to describe.
Abundant voluntary testimonials prove
that DIR. Schiffmann's Asthma Cure not
only gives instant relief in the worst cases,
but has positively cured thousands who
were considered incurable. The remedy is
now sold by all Druggists in packages at SOC.
and $1.OO, thus bringing it within the reach
of ALL Should any reader be unable to obtain
it of his Druggist, it will be SENT postpaid,

The Legislative Grist.

The Maine woman suffragists are pre-
pairing for another presentation of their
cause before the State legislature this
winter.
Petitions are being circulated request
ing the Legislature to enact suitable laws
with appropriate penalties, to the end
that the quietude of Memorial Day shall
no longer be marred by boisterous irrev-
erence or unseemly disturbance, and that
ON Memorial Day no frivolous sports or
amusements shall be permitted.
'This is going to be a mighty poor year
to ask the Legislature for money to pro-
coed with some of the enterprises that the
State has under way and in contempla-
tion," said one of the State officials the
other day. II believe that there is now a
feeling in the State that we should have
gone along with that Eastern Maine In
sane hospital two years ago. Now the
thing has got rusted in and tell you it is
going to be pretty hard starting it. The
proposed normal school will have to wait
over for two years also, in my opinion.
The committee will report to the Legisla-
ture, and probably the matter will be
dropped there, for the present."
