INSPIRING SCENES.

'Sights and Sounds that Roused Spectators to the Highest Pitch of SentimentA dazzling flash of light liursts from the side of the ponderous warship Chicago ; a cloud of smoke rolls out upon thfc waters, and the boom of her great rifle makes everything tremble. Bang, bang, go the guns from the sides of the sacred old Kearsarge, the same guns that sent the Alabama to the bottom of the sea off Cherbourg harbor, and won for the Kearsarge and those who manned her imperishable, renown. The Yantic and Essex joined their guns in the salute, and suddenly the Boston puts in her great rifled cannon with a shock that almost stuns those nearest to her. The smoke gathers about and nearly conceals the warships, and through it can be seen the lightning-like flash of their guns, and from out of it comes the stunning roar that is echoed back from old Fort Columbus and the sides of Libertystatue. The excitement grows. The bands play with all their might. The crowds of people on board and the tremendous black masses upon the Battery, packing acres with solid humanity: the people covering the tops of buildings ten to fifteen stories high, all join in the mighty acclaim of the cannonade. Men’s souls are stirred to the depths. Patriotic pride in and and love of country mount triumphant in throbbing breasts. One understands, in the tremendous scene he is passing through, how it can be sweet for one’s country to die, though at his dinner amid conversationalities he maysneer or indulgently smile at such a sentiment. 'A man who would laugh at the idea of his possessing any sentiilientality or chivalric ideas of patriotism now feels his heart beating a little faster and his cheeks flushing, and he makes the same pretense of indifference that the man in the theater- does when some pathetic scene puts a lump in Iris tears in his eyes, and he makes a great ado about blowing his nose and pretending to have a cold in his head.

If there is anything in the world the American resents it is the idea that he has any “sentiment” or can be moved by anything in the way of the pathetic. And yet there is no man in the w'orld more tender or sentimental at heart, and, next to the Frenchman, more easily aroused or more emotional. Look about you as the stupendous scene progresses, and you w ill see exemplification of this fact. Near by are two gentlemen with their wives. One gentleman is young and handsome, with a peculiarly distinguished air. Looking at him once in a crowd, you would look back at him. There are very few men for whom Americans will do this. You do not need to look twice to see that he is carried away by the scenes of the moment, and is all wild with enthusiasm as w'hen he, a boy, leaped over the Confederate works at Missionary Ridge. He says, “Are we not a glorious people ?” Near by stands a stern-looking and scarred-faced man. The great scene is moving him. His face flushes as the heavy detonations of the war ships and the cheering and music greet his ear, and the unequaled spectacle pleases his eye. “Superb, superb!” he says; and a moment more he mutters, “Oh, this is glorious!” Just then the sun bursts forth, the heavy diapason of the cannonade increases seemingly in force, and under the irresistible grandeur of the occasion he suddenly turns to his friends and exclaims, “I thank God I am an American citizen.” That was how General Gordon, the famous ex-Confederate soldier, felt about his American citizenship.— F. D. M., in Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

Bound to Be Married.

A case in which a young lady of Lee County, Texas, availed herself of the privilege of leap year with a vengeance is reported by a local paper. The young lady is a daughter of John A. Maxwell, a farmer and stock-raiser, who lives sixteen miles in a northeasterly direction from Giddings, and who is one of the most prominent, highly respected, and well-to-do citizens of the county. The novelty about the ■elopement is that, instead of thq young young man stealing away the bride and assisting IwriiOier flight, she actually went after apd stole him away. At the dead hour of the night, after they had retired, she stealthily left the house, went to the lot and saddled a horse, and started to her lover’s house in a blinding rainstorm. In order to reach his home she had to swim a creek. After accomplishing this brave feat .she was safe, for by the next morning the water was spread all over the bottom, and pursuit was impossible.—Toledo Bee. At Tampa City, la., a revivalist asked all in the church who had paid their debts to stand up. They’all rose except the editor, who said he was unable to pay his debts because all the rest of the congregation owed him subscriptions. Miss Plainum—That horrid Mrs. Bute actually has her photographs for sale in the stationers’ shops. I could not do such a thing under any consideration. Her bitterest friend—You have not the face to, have you, dear ? De Gabby—l hear old Lordly is being sued for divorce. Bjones—Actress or typewriter ? Wobtu lots of rocks—a baby. J

A Canadian Game Fish.

In appearance a fresh-run salmon and a fresh-run winanishe do not differ much more than salmon from different rivers. The back of a winanishe is greener blue, and in a fish just out of water can be seen to be marked with olive spots, something like the vermiculations on a trout; the silvery sides are more iridescent, the X-marks are more numerous and less sharply defined; the patches of bronze, purple, and green on the gill-covers are larger and more brilliant, and with them are several large round black spots. As the water grows warm the bright hues get dull, and toward autumn the rusty red color and hooked lower jaw of the spawning salmon develop. As the winanishe, unlike the salrron, feeds continuously, and in much heavier and swifter w ater than salmon lie in, it has a slimmer body and larger fins, so that a five-pound winanishe can leap higher and oftener than a grilse and fight like a tenpound salmgn. The variety of its habits, which are a compound of those of the trout and those of the salmon, with some peculiarities of its own, gives great charm to winanishe-angling, and opportunity for every style, from the “floating fly” on tiny hooks to the “sink and draw ” of the salmon cast. It takes the fly readily when in the humor, though wary and capricious like all its relations, and fights hard, uniting the dash of the trout with the doggedness and ingenuity of the salmon. In railway aud hotel prospectuses the winanishe weighs from five to fourteen pounds. In Lake St. John and the Decharge the average is two and a half; four-pounders are large and not too plentiful, while six-pounders are scarce.—Dr. Leroy M. Yale and J. G. Aylwyn Creighton, in Scribner's.

Clear the Way

Without loss of time when the intestinal canal is blocked up by reason of constipation, chronic or temporary. It should be borne in mind that this ailment is prone to become lasting and obstinate, and breed other and worse complaints. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is the precise remedy to remove the obstruction effectually, but •without drenching or weakening the blockaded bowels, a consequence always to be apprehended from the use of violent laxatives, which are among the most pernicious of the cheap nostrums swallowed by the credulous and misinformed. The flat of experience, and of the medical profession, sanctions the claims of this standard aperient. Not only as a source of relief and permanent regularity to the bowels, liver and stomach, but as a means of remedying and preventing kidney and bladder troubles, aud fever and ague, it is without a peer.

Some of the Ages of Man.

Old Homeboy—There, there, my love, we shall not quarrel. You and Nellie go ahead to the opera and excuse me to-night; lam such a foolish old homebody, but somehow I can not enjoy anything half so much of late years as stopping quietly right in the house nights. I dare say it is the “lean and slipper’d” pantaloon age creeping over me. I shall wait up for you, however. Old Homeboy (once more, but an hour later) —Ho, ho, boys; so glad you came so promptly. Did you fetch the bones, Jerry? Good, lad! Just scoop the traps off that round table and drag up the chairs. Why, I actually feel like a schoolboy. Divide up diose chips and select a banker, while I away to the cellar to look for labeled cobwebs.—Epoch. What Is sweeter than roses Thau bloom in the beauty of June? Or the stately and fragrant lilies Whose bells ring a summer tune? Ah, sweeter the roses blowing On the cheeks of those wo love, And the lily of health that’s glowing The cheeks' red rose above. But how soon the lily and the rose wither in the faces of our American women? Why is it ? Simply because so many of them are of weaknesses, irregularities, and functional derangements incidental to the sex. If they would use Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription all these beauty and health-de-stroying ailments might be warded off, and we would hear less about women "growing old before their timei."

Hom to Get Rid of Gophers.

Gophers are so numerous in Dakota that they are a great nuisance to farmers. Frequently the little animals get into a field and spoil a day’s labor of the husbandman by digging up the corn which he has just planted. A South Dakota man has hit upon the expedient of smoking his seed com, and he says the gophers won’t touch it. He puts it in a sack, hangs the sack in the upper part of a barrel, then builds a smudge in the barrel and smokes it just as he would a ham.

Large size package, 50 cents. At all druggists.

How Opium Is Secured.

Opium is gotten by cutting the capsule of the poppy flower with a notched iron instrument at sunrise, and by the next morning a drop or so of juice has oozed out. This is scraped off and saved by the grower, and after he has a vessel full of it it is strained and dried. It takes a great many poppies to make a pound of opium, and it goes through a number of processes before it is ready for the market. In a liquid state it looks like a dark strawberry jam. The wild rumor is borne across the seas, that Queen Victoria is exceedingly fond of tapioca pudding. Now let some one cable to London that Baby Mckee likes sugar.

The Origin of Arbor Day.

The honor of originating Arbor Dav belongs to Nebraska, and it was instituted and named bv the Nebraska State Board of Agriculture. The holiday seems of so recent institution that one feels a little surprise to be reminded that it was first observed in Nebraska in April, 1872, and therefore is 17 years old. Over a million trees were planted in Nebraska the first Arbor Day. Two years later it. was the subject of a proclamation by the Governor of the State, and in the winter of 1875 the Legislature passed an act designating the 22d of April as Arbor Day, and making it one of the legal holidays. The idea commended itself so heartily to the people that last year the festival had become established in twentyseven States and three Territories, several of the Stages having by law made it a legal holiday. The Western States, which realize most fully the value of a -forest tree, adopted Arbor Day earliest and with the most enthusiasm, closing the schools, suspending business, and accompanying the ceremonies of tree-planting with songs and speech-making, while liberal annual premiums are awarded in some States for the greatest amount of tree-plant-ing. What varieties of trees and shrubs are best to plant and how to plant them became one of the most interesting subjects of discussion. Kansas followed closely in the wake of Nebraska. Minnesota, lowa, Michigan, Ohio, most of the New England and some of the Southern States soon caught the idea, and many millions of trees and shrubs for service and beauty have been planted as the outgrowth of the Nebraska thought. Arbor Day is now not only an established festival but an educational feature of East, West, and South. It fosters a taste for the beautiful and a love of nature, especially among the school children; it cultivates a spirit of improvement,and teaches a methodical, intelligent system of tree culture and management.

THE WORST WRECK, PHYSICALLY

Of any Man This Country Ever Saw, Cured. Jackson, Mich., October, 1885. Rheumatic Syrup Co. Gentlemen: In November, 1884. I was cut in the wrist by a broken bottle, from which I suffered extreme pain. I called a doctor who pronounced it sciatic rheumatism. He gave me a morphine injection in my right shoulder, which resulted in paralyzing my right side. I was kept under tlje influence of morphine until last March. My right leg and arm had become badly withered and my joints were so stiff that there was but little action in them. About that time I discontinued the use of morphine. About six weeks ago I first heard o’ your Hheumatic Syiup and was advised to try it. And here let me impress this fact upon your mind, that my right arm and leg were shrunken, paralyzed, and withered so much that I could hardly walk or swing along, and that but little, and attended with great effort and pain. Since I have been taking your Syrup I have left off the use of crutches entirely, and only use a cane, and for the past few days I often forget it and walk without any aid. To say that I am happy, and that it has greatly benefited me, bht poorly expresses my idea of your Rheumatic Syrup. Yours truly, C. D. Denio. Dealer in General Groceries, corner Trail and Mechanic Streets. Mr. C. D. Denio is a man well known in this community, and was probably the worst wreck, physically, of any man this country ever saw. Ho was paralyzed from rheumatic poison, and no one ever expected ho would pet well. He is well, and it is simply marvelous. The above statement made by him is true, and may be fully relied upon. lam truly yours, Fbank L. Smith, Ex-member State Legislature, and Proprietor Hurd House, Jackson, Mich-
