Escaped a Spy,s Fate.

One of the most popular members
of Congress is Representative Living
ston of Georgia, a former Confederate
soldier, who was thoroughly recon
structed" soon after the last gun of
the conflict had been fired. He was
telling a story of the war in the ap-
preparations committee room at the
capitol the other day of his narrow
escape from Yankee soldiers during
operations at Atlanta He and a
Texas scout were sent on a perilous
mission in citizens clothes. It

RELIC OF JOHN BROWN.
Chicago Colored. Man Owns Part of
Rope Which Hanged Him.

One of the interesting curios on
view at the late middle States and
Mississippi Valley Negro Exposition
at the First Regiment armory was
owned by Henry Washington of SOL
West Lake street. 1t is piece of the
rope with which John Browns exis-
tence was ended at Harper's Ferry.
w ashington vouches for the authenti-
city of this reminder of the martyr,
whose spirit .'goes marching on" He
bases his credence on the following
circumstances, as related by him.
His mother, Harriet Duckett, a free
woman, was married to a slave owned
by Edward Stonebreaker of Pleasant
Valley, Md. Because of the difference
was compelled to live apart from him
at Harper's Ferry. When John Brown
made his appearance at that place his
arrival was known only to a few free
colored people Whereabouts. Notable
among these was Harriet Duckett-
On the day that Brown became a
martyr to the cause which he believed
to be right throngs of curious people
came to view his execution. After
the hanging the rope was cut and the
pieces distributed among the owners
of the near by plantations as souve-
Mrs Among those who secured piece
OF the rope was the master of Henry
Washington's father When freedom
finally came to the slaves this black
man found himself in possession of
this historic relic, which at his death
he left to his son.-Chicago Record

MEDICINE TOO GOOD FOR HORSE.
Doctor Prescribed Whisky and Qui-
nine and Graaxas CeIehrated

Doctor Prescribed Whisky and Qui-
nine and Grooms Celebrated.
A gallon of quinine and whisky, or
dered for a valuable horse belonging
to Miss Genevieve Winterbotham,
daughter of Chicago millionaire, was
responsible recently for the temporary
uselessness of two stablemen at Bryn
Mawr.
When Miss Winterbotham, who is
a student at Bryan Mawr college,
came east she brought with her a val
liable bay saddle horse, but on account
of the change of climate the animal
became i'll and twas necessary to Sc
cure the services of a veterinarian
who prescribed quinine and whisky.
The mistress of the sick horse took
special pains to secure the best brand
of whisky obtainab1e and taking it to
the stable gave it to the men and told
them how to use it.
When she called the next morning
she approached the horse, but detected
no smell of liquor. The stablemen,
when seen and asked why the horse
was not given any of the medicine,
winked and said the demijohn must
have been cracked, for it was empty.
The two men were i'll for the rest of
quirer, but declare they feel safe from
catching bad cold. The next supply
of the fiery stuff was given in charge
of the owner of the stable to be ad
ministered to the horse by him.

LONG SENTENCE INDEED.
Senator Evarts Was Easily Outdone
by Recorder Smyth.

The late Abram S. Hewitt had a
very nimbIe wit and dearly loved a
joke. He was once a guest at din
ner which included the late Recorder
Smyth and Senator Evarts. The re-
corder was poking fun at the senator,
and, adjusting his eyeglasses, read
from a newspaper clipping what pur-
ported to be a sentence from a recent
speech made by the senator, but was
in reality wholly fictitious-as the re-
clusion the laugh was long and hearty
at Mr.. Evarts' expense, and no one
laughed longer or heartier than the
senator himself.
AS soon as the laughter had subsid-
ed Mr.. Hewitt suddenly leaned across
the table, and, looking rather stern1y
into the smiling face of the recorder,
said, in a well-assumed tone of re-
proach:
THAT certainly is a remarkable SEN
tence, your honor, but criticism of it
does not come well from you if to-
days newspapers are to be believed,
for they contain sentence of much
greater length which is attributed to
you
''Why-why-how is that, Mr.. Hew-
itt?'' inquired the recorder win con-
siderable confusion.
Because" said Mr.. Hewitt, with
the utmost gravity, and that grim
smile which always accompanied his
best sayings, you are there quoted as
uttering a sentence that was to last
through the whole life OF the pris-
oner"-New York Times.

The Return.

The Return.
The house seemed builded of honey

C1ematis propped the porch,
Trumpet vines round the old stone Chin

Lifted a scarlet torch.

Wind blown petals of dying roses
Huddled about the floors

Deeds of Micbioan soldiers.

OF all the nineteen federal states
whose sons were in that wonderful
campaign of Chattanooga in 1863,
none did more brilliant work, none
did more important service for the
Union cause than Michigan's heroes.
Apd nobly has the old state preserved
the record of their achievements.
Six regiments of infantry, two OF
cavalry, one of mechanics and engin-
GERS, and two batteries of artillery
are on Michigan's roll of honor at
Chattanooga; and the state has
raised to the memory of every one
monument to endure forever.
Battery d, First Regiment Michigan
Light Artillery, is memorialized in
the Poe field. This brilliant battery

PEOPLE, WHO CAN'T SLEEP.

Many people go to bed-not to sleep, but
to think--to tumble and toss-to get up,
walk about until tired Nature and few
fitful hours of sleep are obtained just be-
fore dawn--a sleep that does not rest--a
sleep from which one wakes weary and
tired, wholly untitled to take up the daily
routine of household, shop or office du-
ties. That this condition gees on un-
cared for is almost criminal, when the

If the people had an idea that a general
change or even an uncertain partial
chan e was to be made in the tariff every
manufacturer would reduce his output,
for fear he might be caught with goods
whose cost would be greater than import
ed competitive material. Every mer-
chant would reduce his orders in hopes of
buying foreign goods cheaper in time TO
meet the demands of his trade. The
greater the uncertainty about what sched-
ules might be changed the more wide-
spread this action would be and the gem
eral reduction of output and orders would
produce hard times.

MR.. BRYAN made speech at Kansas
City last week in which he warned DEM
ocrats against making their party too
much like the Republican party. This
idea that the Democratic organization is
in danger of becominga a Republican an
mex would be more plausible if the Dem
ocratic party, as party, had not shown
such powerful tendency to get on the
wrong side Of public questions and to
represent obstruction instead of progress.
The Republican door swings inward to
individual Democrats who enjoy pros
perity and national advancement; but il
the Democratic party wants to come in as
a wholo-well, that needs careful thought.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intlamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and un-
less the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored TO its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condl-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
