IT CAN'T BE DONE.
No One Can Remain Well, No Chronic
Disease Can Be Cured Unless
the Stomach is First Made
Strong and Vigorous.

This is plain because every organ i'm the
body depends on the stomach for its nour-
ishment. Nerve, bone, sinew, blood are
made from the food which tbs stomach
converts to our use.
How useless to treat disease with this.

most important of all, the stomach.

OF which are the indirect result of poor
nutrition.
Any person suffering from indigestion
should make it practice to take after each
meal one of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets,
allowing it to dissolve in the mouth and
thus mlngle with the saliva and enter the
stomach in the most natural way, These
Tablets are highly recommended by Dr.
Jennison because they are composed of
the natural digestive acids and fruit es-
sences which assist the stomach in digest

A DANGEROUS PASSAGE.
Some Incidents in Which the Second Divi-
sion, Second Corps, Took Part at freder-

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In re-
cent issue Lieut.. S. W. Northrup says:
Has it been forgotten that so picked men
of the S9th \. Y. crossed in four pontoon
boats, charged the enemy, and captured 100
prisoners ON the afternoon of Dec. 12, 1862,
before the pontoon bridge had been put in
positiong
/ have not forgotten it, for the simple
reason that never have heard about it, and
a man cannot forget something that he has
never heard of. The comrade says that he
has been told that the 9Th Mich. was the
only regiment that crossed the Kappa
hammock River in pontoon boats prior to
side, Dec. II, 1862.
There seems to be a confusion of dates,
also of regimental numbers, in the mind of
Comrade Northrup, and, perhaps, of facts
in my mind. Will not Comrade Northyup
tell us of the crossing of the seth boys?
1t certainly was gallant deed for so men
to cross river and capture 100. Mean
while very briefly | will tell the affair as
remember it. L am not questioning the
truth of the comrades statement, and only
desire to know the facts and have clear
understanding of them.
/ believe the S9th n. Y. belonged to the
Ninth Corps, and there We're several bridges
also, believe. have personal knowledge
Of but one-the one on which | crossed.
My recollection is that we, the Second
Division, Second Corps, left camp on the
Stafford Hills the evening of Dec. 10, 1862,
and early on the morning of the 18th the
engineers attempted to place bridge, but
failed; then bombardment was tried, and
later the 7th (not 6th) Mich. crossed in
boats, drove away the enemy from the bank,
and the bridge was completed; then we
crossed into the city and spent the night of
Dec. IL there.
Early on the morning of the 18th my
company was deployed as skirmishers and
advanced to the outskirts of the city. j
spent the day of the 18th in the vicinity of
the tomb of Washington's mother, part of
the time crouched behind it, with bullets
flying near.
The fight-was on the 18th; on the 18th
Law on the field under fire, and on the 18th
returned to the old camp on Stafford Hills.
| am sure that there was miserable night
in the city, with the enemy in close prox-
unity, day in the city while the troops
were moving, then the fighting, etc. II
might fill several columns with my recollec-
tons of Fredericksburg. If / am in error,
let some comrade correct me. | always
supposed the honor of crossing i'll the pom
looms belonged TO the 7th Mich, and long
service taught me great respect for them
They were one of the regiments that the old
division took pride in, and was always
.eady to bet on under any circumstances

Missing in London.

Some idea Of the work of the police in
tracing missing people in London may be
gained from an interview with "a Police
Inspector in CaSseil'S Mdgdzine
About 10 years ago" said the Inspector.
Il was watching some workmen pulling
down row of oldriverside houses that had
had desperately bad reputation, eime out

IL gave me when they showed me that
nearly every house had a great trap-door
through which anything could be dropped
into the race of the tide below. Many poor
chap had gone to his death that way, I'll
go bail. But l can tell you "A curious
thing that happened only the other day.
A man had been drugged and robbed, but
he told US that before he became insensible
he had managed to lock and bolt his door.
and locked and bolted it was when he came
round again How they had got in and
robbed him he couldn't imagine. Well,
We searched about and finally discovered
that the door was really two doors within

inner door into the frame safe enough. but
then the frame itself was only another
door with separate hinges of its own" Il

In December, 1885, Gen Sherman writes,
Il see by the papers that you have been
elected to Congress" and he also indulgeS
in advice 10 his brother in this letter as
follows: Il hope as a young member You
will not be too forward, especially on

"Of all the follies of our Government" he
goes on to say, that of the purchase of the

In March, 1856. he writes from San
Francisco to his brother: q see you have
been placed on the Committee of Foreign
Relations, which is deemed a compliment.
L shall expect You TO avoid local

FAMOUS FIGHTS FOR THE SPEAKER
SHIP-HENRY CLAY AND JOHN SHER-
MAN.
1t was an unprecedented condition in
which Henry Clay found himself Speaker
of the House the first day he entered Con-
gress as member, and it is an interesting
story how this came about.
Near the close of the 18th Congress. a
number of members being together, the
conversation turned upon the condition of
the House, its irregularities, want OF order
and deoorum, and all felt that a reform
Must be effected. The great and burning
question was how to accomplish this reform.
How is it TO be done?" asked one.

This famous little book was Published
in 1853, and created widespread attention
at the time because it predicted many
things which afterwards came to pass con-
cerning the aims of the slave power, and
the struggle which must soon enSue in
dealing with the question of slavery in the
South.
Mr.. Helper being a Southern man. a
native of North Carolina, and a forcible
writer, his work created at the time pro-
found sensation, being widely read and
extensively circulated by the anti-Slavery
agjtators. The work was written in such
foiceful style that it was everywhere rccog-
nlzed as a powerful contribution to the
literature of the controversy II is Only
