An Example of o'Conne1rs Wit.

Daniel O'Connell, though brilliant and witty, was daringly vulgar when he set out to attack an opponent. At a Dublin election he started to assail Re corder Shaw, who was a very dignified and handsome man, by declaring him a fellow whose visage would frighten a horse from his oats. The lord mayor, who presided, remarked on these ameni- ties and said it might. be supposed such a critic, like Hamlet's father, was en- dowed with Hyperion curls and the front of love himself, instead of a wrinkled brow and a scratch wig. As for himself, he would not be unwilling to compete with the demagogue before a jury of ladies if they could only see him as nature made him without the aid of the barber. O'Connell strode to the front of the platform, snatched off his wig and pointing to his naked head covered with a stubble of gray hair, cried, Ladies. 1 demand your instant judgmentP' Of course he had the laugh and the best of the encounter.-San Francisco Wave.

Number 27.

UrlumpnanJ cOncIuSlOn. Our navy was victorious on the seas, our armies won glorious victories upon the land. Santi- ago was captured, Porto Rico was con- quered, our flag was raised over the Phil ippines and the Ladrones. Almost the last colonial possession of Spain was wrested from her grasp, Spanish armies were defeated, Spanish fleets destroyed, |, and whatever remains of Spanish empire outside of the Iberian peninsula is due to American magnanimity and forbear- ance.
 With the return of peace, our country is confronted by new and grave respOnsi- bilities, together with many unsolved problems; and it is of the utmost inn portance that the president and his ad- visors receive the support and co-opera- tion of congress and of all good citizens, not only in securing an honorable and enduring peace, but also in wisely set ting the many perplexing questions con- nected with the administration of our possessions.
 Whether our future policy is to be what is sometimes styled imperial, lead ing to world empire, if, as I believe preferably, we are to remain conserva- lively content to be one of the great in dustrial and commercial powers of the world, Is for the American people to carefully consider and wisely determine Whatever happens, we may rest confident that the saving common sense that has served us so well in other crises in the past will continue with us and be Squally helpful fin the future.

REMARKABLE REsoUE.-Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield, Ill.,, makes the state- ment that she caught cold, which settled on her lungs; she was treated for a month by her family physician, but grew worse.

''I can't see how any family lives with out Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Di- arrhea Remedy" says J. R. Adams, a well-known druggist, of Geneva, Al2., in a letter inquiring the price of a dozen bottles, that he might not only have it for use in his own family, but supply it to his neighbors. The reason some people get along without it is because they do not know its value, and what vast amount of suffering it will save. Wher- ever it becomes known and used it is rec ognized as a necessity, for it is the only remedy that can always be depended upon for bowel complaints, both for children and adults. For sale by E.
