lie Prefer* la Fish. - In these days when men rush, pusbsquablo and scramble for official preferment It is refreshing to have a man like Judge Mobley, of Greene Co., Ala,, put. in an appearance. His name deserves a high place' among the men of the age and should go down through ages in the same class with such profound thinkers and philosophers nt Seneca and Cato. Recently the Judge received word that ho bad been honored with the gift of a federal appointment. He did not go into ecstacies over the recognition, but went by easy stages to the national'capital, where he spent a few days looking over the ground. Then he packed his valise, selected the shortest route home and went by limited express. The Judge did not want the office, but with the courtesy which prevails in court circles of our free and easy Democracy addrewbd an explanatory letter to the Congressman in his district. The Judge was duly thankful for the consideration shown him, but had several reasons for declining the proffered honor. He bad lived to be more than forty years old without having been bossed by any one and he did not care to become subject to orders at his time of life, lie was making more than $2,000 a year at home and enjoyed living there among bis old friends and neighbors. Aside from all this he had been elected president of the Greene County Fishing Club and the season was at hand when the duties of the position demanded his attention. The Judge has set an example that should cause many a young man to stop and consider. He did not permit the itch for office to blind his judgment or wean him from the promptings of his common sense. He could make more money and have a better time by remaining at home. When he desired to go fishing there was no one to say nay. His lines would be cast in pleasant places and the merry whirr of the reel would make them all the pleasanter. He would be at the beck and call of no man, but in the practice of his profession and in the exercise of his prerogatives as president of the Ashing club he would have that freedom which the subordinate ofllceholder never can enjoy. He chose wisely, and the country would be better off if there more like him. Petty offices lure too many young men from the pursuits that would bring them honor and comfort as the solace of their declining years A Little Girl's Experience in a Light House. Mr. and Mrs. Loren Trescott are keepers of the Gov. Light house at Sand Beach, Mich., and are blessed with a daughter, four years old. Last April she was taken down with measles, followed with a dreadful cough and turning into a fever. Doctors at home and at Detroit treated her, but in vain, she grew worse rapidly, until she was a mere “handful of bones.” Then she tried Dr. King’s New Dlscc very and after the use of two and a half bottles, was completely cured. They say Dr. King’s New Discovery Is worth Its weight in gold, yet you may get a trial bottle free at Blackburn & Miller’s drug store, (successors to A. R. Pierce.) A recent mineral find which is about to be developed in the Chickasaw Indian Reservation, south of Guthrie, O. T , is of interest all over the west and southwest. Immense bodies of asphaltum, rivaling those of the island of Trinidad, have been found near the Arbuckle Mountains, and a company has been formed to develop the find. The quality is the very best, and the quantity sufficient to pave the streets of every city in the west and not show any diminution of the supply. Being easy of access and easily mined, tpe result will be a great cheapening of this very useful article, and the people of the country will be greatly benefited by the find. A Sad Death: Can you describe anything worse than a young person dying by Inches with consuini tion, cut off in the bloom of youth when bright prospects and prosperity are, before them. A very sad death indeed. Is i t not-a fact that most cases of this kind are brought on by a cough—only slight at first, then more violent, followed by night sweats and a general breaking down of the entire system? These are cases in which people are to blame, why not check this slight cough? Dr. Marshall's Lung Syrup is guaranteed to cure, it will prevent consumption. Use it before it. is too late.

The first attempt on the part of the Chimsa government to establish telegraphic service was made in 1870. This took place ,in South Formosa, where the first line was built, between Taiwanfu and Takao, a distance of s(>”km. After tins first experiment the government constructed, in 1883, a line of considerable length between Shanghai and Tientsin. Thereafter, the ice being broken, the government made rapid strides, and at the present time, With the Exception of two provinces, i. e. Hunan and Honan, the vast territory i3»well covered. But in these two provinces the inhabitants are so hostile to any improvement, that it was found impossible to construct a line. It should be stated that nearly all of the existing Chinese telegraph lines hawF been built by Danish engineers, and, as a rule, by employes of the Great Northern Telegraph Company, but the administration of the lines au;i the service is entirely in the hands of the government. As the Chinese telegraphers are obliged to understand English,

messages in English characters may be sent throughout empire. Os course, the mass of people have very queer notions about the telegraph. For example, one intelligent Chinese was noticed to watch the telegraph wires for an entire day. When asked why he watched the wires so closely, he replied, that ho desired to see a message pens through them, tyut that he bad not succeeded so far. The latest news is the proposed construction of a line between Surchan, Kaschgar andTaniir.— Electrical Review. Electric Bitters.

A umber Forty. The man who can tell bis own virtues is not always conceited, although it is generally dangerous ground. There is a story of an English General who, in reviewing a corps of cavalry, suddenly stopped before a splendid-looking fellow, and asked abruptly: • “Which Is the best horse in the regiment, my man?” “Number forty, sir.” “What makes you think that he is the best horse?” “He walks, trots and gallops well, is a good leaper, has on vice, no blemise, carries bls head well, is in bis prime. “And Who is the best soldier in the regiment?” “Tom Jones, sir.” “Why?” “Because he is an honorable man, is obedient, tidy, takes good care of his equipment and bis horse, and does his duty well.” “And who is the rider of the best horse?” “Tom Jones, sir.” “And who is Tom Jones?” “I am, sir.” The general could not help laughing, but be gave a sovereign to his informant.

I'm very busy this morning.” Dr. M. J. Davis is a prominent physician of Lewis, Cass county, lowa, and has been actively engaged in the practice of medicine at that place for the past thirty-five years. On the 20th of May, while in Des Moines enroute to Chicago, lie was sudden ly taken with an attack of diarrhoea. Having sold Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy for the past seventeen years, and knowing its reliability, he procured a 25-cent bottle, two doses of which completely cured him. The excitement and water and diet incident to traveling often produce a diarrhoea. Every one should procure a liottle of this Remedy before leaving home. For sale by W. 11. Nachtrieb “The Druggist.” j Tricked by the Jolly Tars. A pretty good story is told of. the way in which the officers of a certain sloop-of-war of the North Atlantic squadron succeeded in getting their ship’sslow and antiquated steam launch replaced by one of a later and more fashionable type. It happened that the vessel hauled into a navyyaid for its periodical repairs. While there the launch was complained of too heavy and unwieldy for a sloop-of-war to carry, and a careful weighing by the yard authorities verified the complaint. Thereupon a new ancl swifb little craft which cost Uncle Sam ever so many hundred dollars, was substituted and the sloop-of-war steamed exultantly away. But when the old launch was sent to the boat shop for overhauling the workmen found snugly stowed away out of sight along the keelson nearly a thousand pounds of superfluous ballast iron. The apparently unaccountable weight of the-rejected boat was readily explained. Health and Happiness. Honey of Figs is the Queen of all cathartics; syrups or pills.
