Rev. Jonathan S. Willis Ia a sman
man att all times, but nsver smaller
than when Ike should be large. A
morning contemporary asked the
preacher politician last evening for his
estimate of Hon. Thomas f. Bayard.
In THE course OF his remarks he said;
while not a great man in the strict
sense, HE was an able man. He will
have no marked place in HISTORY, In a
little while his name viii cease to be
mentioned, and, like the countless null
titude that has gone before, it will sink
into oblivion. What a lesson to us all
OF the vanity of earthly things. What
an incentive to all to make the bss'
uses Of this short life What an occa'
sion for charitable Judgment and kind.

Deafness is caused by an intlamed condi-

have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when It is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result. and unless the iniiam-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
