He atteuded a caucus last night, lie made four speeches and promised to be 'frith his fellow citizens again to-day. But, Hi, doctor, he looks nearly dead.” “Has he been in politics long ?' “No, only last year. He worked hard for •James McCaulay’s election.” “He will get well, madam! He has a stomach for any disease, if he worked for him!” Political life, of short or long duration, is very exhausting, as is evident from the great mortality which prevails among public men. Ex. U. B. Senator B. K. Bruce, who has been long in public life, says: “The other day, when stepping into a car at a crossing, I found Dr. within, who eyed me up and down in a surprised way, remarking: “ • Why, Senator, how well you look!’ “ * Well, I feel pretty well,’ I answered.” The doctor uttered an incredulous reply, when the Senator frankly told him, in answer to an inquiry, that it was Warner’s safe cure which accomplished for him what the profession had failed to do. Senator Bruce says his friends are very much astonished at this revelation of power. —The Globe. •Overwhelmingly defeated.
