IMPORTANT LETTER

- - - 3 e _w From a Distinguished Physician, NO ;lnge disease has entailed more nuﬁerinﬁor “hastened the brenkinfg up of the constitution than Catarrh. The gense of smell, of taste, of sight, of hurlng the human voice, the mind, one or more and sometimes all yield to itadestructiveinfluence. Thegg)ohon it distributes throughout the system atacks every vital force, and breaks up the most robust of constitutions. ninored because but little anderstood by most physicians, Impoteml{ assailed by _quacks and charlatans, those suffer misn'qxn it have little_hope to be relieved of it this side of the ¥rave. Itistime, then t!mnh%populanrenment of this terrible disease by remedies within the reach of all passed into hands at once competent and tmtworthg. The new and hitherto untried : method adopted by Dr. Sanford in the preparation of his RADICAL CURE has woin my heanrvl.agproval. I believe it likely to succeed when all the usnal remedies fail, because it strikes at the root of the disease, viz., the acidigled blood, while it heals the ulcerated membrane by direct application to the nasal puanges. Itsaction is based on certain fixed rules, and unless the vital forces are too far exE%ust:d,must, in the great majority of cases, effect ure. : : : 2 ’ /GEO. BEARD, M. D, NoßscoTT BLOCK, 80.

“LEFTENANT JIM.” BY C. SHACKELFORD. ' ' Time— About 11 o’clock A. M. of a November morning 1868 —a dead sky above and a dead earth beneath,as they are seen in dreams, .. v L .. & . Place—A little creek wedged in between two high banks, and a low rickety bridge over the creek, whose threefoot depth of water was filmed with. ice; water whose sleeping ripples had not been wakened by the sun. s . Person — A shabby, scarecrow sort of man bending over-the rail, leaning the while on hisarm. The figure hardly seemed man. It’s once black hatof felt was rusty-hued, and haggled with gashes, out of which sprouted thin bunches of jet black hair. ‘The brim was pulled down front and rear. The coat, once part of a nobby summer suit, was dirty, stained by rain,bleached by shine, and trimined with holes, the scutling leaks of unostentatious ill-fortune. It was clamped to his waist by a bit of tow string, and served rather to hide the place where a shirt ought to be than to keep the body warm. His pants had once been army pants of the old familiar blue ecolor; but they had lost caste, and, in their martial tent, hung like puckered bags, as if the man’s legs were astringents, One leg of the trousers was partly tucked into the top of a boot which was down at the heel, out at the toe, and wonderfully red in spots. The other boot was twin to it, save that its superincumbent column of breeches dropped in double fold upon its instep, as if taken with a fainting fit. This was all there was fo be seen; but “there was enough to mark the man as a statue of individual desolation —a creature of expressed but not understood woe. It was a figure in aecord with a landscape--drear, hopeless and deserted. i

As the man gazed at the stream, he stamped his hungry-looking boots upon the planks. He rubbed them together musingly, as if to signal that they were still in company. Twice he 'kicked pebbles from the bridge and ‘listened to the cheerful hum of the 'messenger as it flew over the ice.— 'Then he spat downward as at a mark. With e¢ach effort his head would sink deep between his shoulders, as if the sharp air was stealing a march on his 'backbone and taking its vertebe by assault. 'The great barren trees, the } fragile willows at the water’s edge, ‘the blonde grassed. turf on the slope ~seemed less desolate, less lost to the ‘world than this frayed and battered ~sentinel of the bridge. ~ The repose of man and nature was ‘suddenly and sharply ended. ' A tunehess whistle broke out behind one of the banks—a feeble, wavering spirit of horrible discord—such a sound as only a little boy can make with cheeks and lips. The man turned his head a ‘ little. Through the air sailed a speck. It dropped upon the arm of the loung- ‘ er. It was a stone. Ithurts, for the man stood erect, uttered an oath, and turned his face to the road down which now trudged a small boy. The youngster and the whistle stopped as they reached the bridge. The face frightened the boy. It was thin, haggard, and savage with a black beard of a fortnight’s growth, and wild eyes that showed by ‘their,setting how hunger had crowded them back and pinched- the nose and cheeks; not a cruel face, all in all, but one made pitiable by hopelessness and starvation. “You young rascal,” he said, catching the little fellow and giving him a geptle shake; “I’ve a good mind to drop you into the river and let the minnows fight for you. Whatdid you hit me for, eh ?” g

TTNLL 0 e R e ] AT Ay you. And I don’t eatin l T ) € -k

~ The captive, more frightened than hurt, velled at the first touch, and then, boy -fashion, he dropped into tears. e

“What do you mean?” asked the man, suddenly softening in temper and speech, and putting his hand, with ; kéndly ‘touch, on the little fellow’s ead. -

~“I did n"t mean nothin’,” sobbed the child, “I—l—was just only tryin’ to whistle.” e

“Hx]! ha! That was it, eh? You made a very bad note in your tune, don’t you know? You pegged me with astone. The stonehurt,hurt even a fellow like me.” «] did n’t mean to,” says the child.

“Of course not. I know that now. You could n’t see me. ~l’°ll apologize. Now stop crying, cheer up,call it eyen, and let’s be friends! Is it a bargain, sir ?”. e

But the sobs would come up and the tears fill the eyes. - 'The boy had sprung a leak and seemed likely to sink. ‘The man became nervous. He might frighten a grown-up fellow,and enjoy the victory ; but asto this child —well! he was heartily ashamed of himself. @ So he fried the strategy of wealth. He thrust one hand into the ruins of a pocket. It worked about therein like the scoop of a dredge. It came to the entrance, full of debris. “Seehere, little one!”.he cries, getting down upon his knees, and spreading his collection upon the boards. “Just look here! Is n’t this bric-a-brac, as they'call it? | 'That”s a brass but--ton—useless tor want of a button-' hole. That comb I’ll kéep for my party-going hair. Yes! I know you have one. 'That’s tobacco, but you doin’t chew. This fat jack-knife is no good, for it will not cut. I only keepit because it shuts up when I want to talk. Ugh! Don’s touch that! for it’s vile tobacco. .[Here’s akey to ahouse ‘l'never owned. Let me see! That, I ‘guess, is brepd dene up in tobacco. We’ll ‘cast that upon the waters,’— pitching it into the creek. Wheat—the last of my crops. String—you can’t eat that and there’s not enough for a kite. Aha! Here we have it—*‘the sad remains of an ill-spent life’”—and he flopped in the palm of his hand a dingy five cent piece. “Now, sonny, wring out your eyes, stop crying, make friends with me, and the money is yours'for candy or the missienary-box, as gouimay choose. Is it a bargain, gir 999 ! i

The boy’s eyes brightened. Heswallowed his sobs, put out his hand, took the money and said—“thank you!” His captor laughed) "' : “That’s the way of the world, Johnny, boy. 3%%;; can always buy silence for grief. “Remember that, when you come to make your will. A 8 I've paid you for five cents worth of misery, show me the candy store!” He had said all this in a grave way, just as if he were talking to some one who could understand him; and the boy had looked on just as if he did not, which was the fact, comprehend what was meant. But “candy store” were two words of one meaning for him and 'he became a gulde where, heretofore, ‘he had not even followed. “It’s at Wigscom,” he said. | t;';g;nd where is Winscom, my cher-:

“Over the hill there. I' was going to iiwhen you cotched me.” ~ "Tut! tut! Don’t say cotched. Say caught!” : : & “Caught!” , . “Excellent. Now I’'m going to Winscom, Somebody in it owes me a big dinner for not giving me my breakfast. Will your royul littleness—that is - ,?gay, Johnny, my boy—will you faer . . : i Vg——where ‘s your horses?” asks WBB boy. ! : _‘ln my boots, infant! ‘O, you need n’t 100 k for them. They ’re sure to be out &6 the toes, when you want’em. Don’t be afraid, I’'m a vramp, and I’m hungry; but I don’t eat little boys. Now, ‘Steady, sit on my shoulder?!” : - With a laugh, and a whistle as sharp g 4 mocging-bird’s, he swung the child to his shoulder, settled him firm1¥ and moved slowly and with labored steps over the road to Winseom, his rider aglow the while with boyish exultation, and chirruping like a horse ockey. : ; . _*Let'me down!” shouts the boy, as vl arrive in the outskirts of Winscom. “I live in that house. Oh, my papa! my papal” A bare-headed man, standing with his back to the road, looked around, and then .came hurriedly to the gate. His boy in the possession of a ragged stranger gave him a.fright. : “Here, you! What are you doing with my son ?” he demanded. *“Rob, get down this: minute. Ain’t you ‘ashamed ?”’ . :

“He ought to be,” said the ‘trang), as he swung the boy to the walk: “He ought to be. The Lord knows I’m ashamed of myself. Bat, sir, we can’t all be Vanderbilt’s I'd no intention of . stealing gour son. T gave him a lift because I liked him. Good morning!” and with a downward jerk front and rear to the brims of his shabby old hat and punching his hands into his shabby old pockets, this woeful vagabond went shufflingly away against the raw wind and down the leaf-carpeted street. The respectable ecitizen, for half a minute, seemed -puzzled, and leaned over the gate, shading his eyes with his hands, though there was no sun, and inattentive to the story which the urchin at his legs was pourirg out. “I’ll swear it’s he,” he says at last. “It's Jim. I'd know him among a thousand.” Then half opening the gate, he called out: i e

. “Leftenant!” | ° s The figure proceeded without a responsive motion. :

“Leftenant Jim!” o That time it was a shout. It was heard. The tramp halted, whirled half about, touched his hat involuntarily, shook his head angrily, called himself an idiot, whirled about and went on his way at a more rapid place than he had shown during the day—and all regardless of the recall of “Leftenant! Leftenant!” ; “That was the dear old call of the dear old boys; and 1t is Belden, by all that’s. holy,” he says, half pleased with the recall, and yet half angry at discovery. *“But why can’t Ibe left alone and utterly lost to all who knew me before I became a—atramp?’ -and _the last word came out with an emphasis that showed an agony of shame. “I'd kill myself if I dared. Ah, if I dared. I'm like the wandering Jew in some respects. Bah!. I’m hungry. No breakfast, and here itis high noon by the sun, ‘Leftenant Jimj; if you want something to eat or drink, you must beg for it, you hero of a lunacy, you miserable vagabond, you outeast, you pauper.” , - : He was not joking with himself when he brought out these last words. He was somberly mad. At the same time he was so full of shameful hesitation at the inevitable course that he | would have to pursue in order to get a meal, that he abandoned the main street and sought the shelter of the | underbrush by the river,that he might J think over the matter. - Meantime Belden had run into the ‘ house for his hat. »

“Wife!” he cried; “Sis, both of you, listen! I’ve just seen Leftenant Jim. I am going out to catch him, confound him.” { .

“Bring him to dinner, Charliel” says both of them in a voice, for they had heard of this friend for years. But when Bob told hislittle adventure,and described his morning’s companion, they rather hoped the Leftenant might not: be caught.'

Up into the village raced Belden. He had missed hisman on the road. At the drug store, at the tavern,at the grocery, he demanded, “have you seen ‘Leftenant Jim?’” No one had seen him; but few, apparently, had heard of him. - At the postoffice the crowd of loungers were just as ignorant, just as indifferent as were those at the other resorts. = More than that, some of them asked for information as to the officer’s identity. It was then that Belden became an image of wrath, that he glared with fierce eyes, that he smoteé his hands and snapped his fingers in indignation. -

“Who is Leftenant Jim?. 'Nice man you are. I've told you forty times, but L'l tell you again. I'll tell you who he was and—and, thanks to a grateful “éountry!—what heis. He was a soldier without fear, a hero unhonored, and a sergeant -without promotion, save by his comrades—and I was one of them. It was plain, private Jim, who “got'six bullets in his body for picking up his company’s flag and holding it until the enemy had to tear it from him in strips and make his body a bullet-pouch. It was Corporal Jim who with four men captured a rebel six-pounder at Chancellorsville and fought'ic until only Jim was left. It was Sergeant Jim who, in the wilderness, while waiting under fire for orders to advance, left the ranks, picked up a shell that lay with burning fuse not ten feet from him, carried it to a mud-puddle and threw it in, It ~was then the boys made him Leftenant. And two hours later it was this same Leftenant who fought like a demon over the body of his wounded «Colonel, and got two saber cuts as his reward for saving his man. He wanted to die, he said, but could n’t get killed. That’s a little of what he was. To-day I've seen him—l thought he was dead —and he is a tramp, gentlemen, a miserable vagabond, with his clothes too mean for a scavenger, and without food enough inside of him to keep his skin in place. Give him something to eat if he asks it, and _you'll feed a hero. = As for me heis to me a brother. My home shall be his home, if I can find him.” Having delivered this speech heset outin search OPMaTaS o S . Poor Jim, crouched in the brush, ‘weary and cold, had dozed a little at first, Then he began to chew bassoed buds sad w e Bkt dinner, ﬁ disliked umﬁ% R T R ‘:.‘,‘,‘"’ »' - g l’w-' 1 ok

ed Belden more than he ever feared an enemy. In all his vagahondage he had never yet asked for more costly charity than a drink of water. He had worked when he could get anything to do, and earned“his ‘money, the last of which had gone to the boy. He had avoided towns because their people were inhuman, giving strangers no chance. But he was in Winsgom—the great cit.g lay only a dozen miles away—-and he must eat’ though he begged for it, and was turned from door after door. = :

He rose to his feet, every mot.ion" causing him pain, and cante out into an open.lof. - The wind had freshened since morning. The skies had darkened, and dashes _éfgne ‘sSnow gave 1 signs of abad night. Adown thelong street into which he lemerged not a person was to beseen. A dull town, thought the Lieutenant, forgetting" that its men went to the city.” Then he made a.eireuit to avoid Belden,and to escape groups of people.. Hebegan - his disagreeable task| at a diagonal point of the town f}-om where .he . started. L cEegiee At three houses’ tHg®oor was shut in his face before his request for food was half spoken. -The “Leftenant” swore at this sort of treatment, and invoked curses of a red-hot order.— That was natural enough for a hungry man who had been a hero; but everybody did not know -his record. Of: course not, and they would never hear of it from his lips. - Moody and despairing, he prepared for what he resoelved should be his last request. A handsome cottage was before him. It was well lighted, for the dusk was falling. He pushed‘%xlp his hat on one side and pulled it down on thecther, that it might have a more jaunty look. He took that trouser leg out of his. boot: and deposited in his pocket thestring which had belted his coat. Those little alterations did not change his appearance much, but.they softened some of the outlines. His timid knock at the back door was answered by a buxom Irish girl. As the door opened, there rushed out the fragrant incense of roasting turkey. . -7 v _ “I am hungry,” he began. *“l’vehad nothing to eat to-day.” The door began to close. He put his hand against it. | ; : “For heaven’s sake give me something, if it’s not more than a crust of bread!” . - | - It was the hero Lieutenant Jim who was pleading for just a few mouthfulls. The servant opened the door a little. | .

. “Ye're a hard-looking tramp, ye are,” said the girl. ‘ - “I know I am,” admitted the Lieutenant. |

“And this mistress is might particular,” continued Bridget. “The last one of ye’s we fed jest ran away wid the shpoon, though to be sure it was an ould iron one. Yle’s a mighty ugly fellow.” S

“Perhaps.- But I don’t steal,” asserted the ex-soldier, “Now think a minute! I've eaten nothing to-day. Give me a bite of something for heaven’s sake. I’ll eat it in the back yard —anywhere.” - | “Well, come in,” said the girl doubtfully. “I'll take my chances. There, set in that chair, and don’t shpake a wur-rud.” : . 3 o

= She bustled around and soon handed him a plate loaded with cold meat and bread, a generous slice of butter on the edge, and a bowl of milk to keep the food company. ’ “Pitch in, now!” she ordered. “You tind to your business and I'll tind to mine, but no thavery.” . Dinner had not been served. He heard the hum of distant conversation and little bursts of/laughter in a distant room. Now and then some one struck a piano. The Lieutenant’s keen eyes swept the kitchen and the pantry. Before him was a wealth of pies. A pot of coffee on E}he stove bubbled up its incense. The turkey: sizzled and crackled in the oven. Dishes of apples and nuts and raisins were upon the long table. Evjrythin g betokeaed unusual festivities. : b

“A party ?” hesaid, nodding toward the front part of the house. - “Tharnksgiving Day!” was the sententious reply. : ; “Ah! indeed, so it is. 1 had forgotten it. Itis a day not down in my almanac.” L B

The girl stopped as if to say something, but changed her mind and went on with her work.

A door opened and a little fairy of a girl perhaps six years old came in to the room. She stood with her hands behind her, and watched the “man” eat, Hisg plate was nearly empty. He felt like one intoxicated.

“Were you ever hungry, little one ?” he asked of the miss, scraping the last crumbs off the plate. e ~ “Lots of times, sir; but never so hungry as you. And I don’teatin the kitchen.” ' o

_ “Nor I, either, always; but I like it,” said the Lieutenant, rubbing his mouth on the back of his hand in lieu of a napkin. “In fact, it’s fine.” : “Don’t ye’s talk too much now,Miss Laura!” ordered Bridget kneeling to baste the turkey. The small girl shrugged her shoulders and pouted and almost eried. ‘ “Is you really a tramp ?” asked Laura, coming a little nearer. ° - - “A first-class one,” says the Lieutenant. . “Liook at my boots,” and he balanced his feet on his heels.

~ “They’s real funny. They’s laughing,” sald the child, stooping over to study the chasms in the toes. _“Don’t your papa wear such boots ?” inquired the man. S “I ain’t got no‘papa,” the girl replied, “Nor I,” laughed the tramp, but the child was very sober. e

“My name’s Laura, what’s yours?” she asked a moment later. - “My name?” said the Lieutenant, his face becoming very grave. “My name? Ihaven’t got any. Ilost it long ago.”. : *Did anybody find it ?” was the next question sagely propeunded. She stood close to him now, one hand on his knee, and wistfully looking up into his face. A something he saw in it overcame him, and he bowed his head in his hands. { e “Don’t be impertinent:!” said Bridget. “Lave the'man alone! I think you’d better be goiu'g. git’’. ; The Letftenant raised his head.

“I think so, too.” He looked again into the child’s face—stooped down and kissed her, = | ~ “My hat!” he demanded, sharply, as he turned away. It was near the dining-room door, _where Bridget'’s dress had swept it.— He stooped to pick it up. At thesame ingtant the door opened and a hand:some woman, richly dressed and not ‘more than thirty years of age, stood in the door-way, . As he rose his face Jooked into hers. His hat dr({&%eﬂ ltro?é his hand 'andy!he staggered back-

-“O God!” he cried, “it is my own Marian.” ke ST

" A quick cry of surprise and joy ‘came from the lips of the woman. She Dlaced her hands on his shoulders and gazing lovingly and mutely into his face. The man’s head slowly dropped. “Husband, look at me!” She cried, ccatching his hands in n% Mokerdn “ “I cannot, I dare me®t See what I gm! _l‘tlemember what-1 was—to you,” e sald. ~ R T .

“Always my husband,. James, and always forgiven,” ' . % . oyl *Always your husband,” standing erect and with a wild vigor in his attitude. “Marian, I heard that the law had freed you from me, because I struck you when I was drunk; and in my . shame deserted you:when I was sober.” et s e RET

“It was all false. I have waited for you for five'long years.” I kKnew -you* would come back some day. Now you are here. Poor, poor husband! How you must have suffered! - Come-with with me, Laura, child, come! The back wayisclear.” .- . . 0 2o Still he hung back. “I am not fit,” ‘he said.. “I am forever disgraced.-— Let me go away and come back again some time when I.ami no longer a tramp.” P B “James, this is Thanksgiyving Day. It is our day, if anybody’s. You must come. You are no longer a tramp, thank God! Come! It ishome again for all of us;” and putting her arms around her husband she led him out of the room and out of his:-bondage. An hour later the tramp sat at his wife’s table as a gentleman, dressed in black clothes, his ‘hair trimmed, his ‘beard cut. in |civilized shape. . The transformation was complete. To his wife, her father, her brother and her ‘brother’s wife, he told, after grace, the story of his self-imposed .exile, of the shame and remorse which had followed him for years, 0f the strange fate which: had brought him back that night to the presence of 'one whom he had supposed to be a thousand miles away, -and forever lost to him. & s SirenTe

Happy?. No home ever: knew keener joy than waited upon: this reunion; no home ever had such pathos at its Thanksgiving dinner, . Of all his heroism noné ‘was nobler than that which made “Leftenant Jim?” once more a husband and father—the heroism of confessing and regretting the greatest wrong of his life. =~ -

A LaPorte Sensation. , The South -Bend 7'7ibune narrates the story of a-strange incident, a portion of which occurred in LaPorte.— A man who had been stopping in that city, went-to Indianapolis and was there taken sick.. Ile called a physician when expecting to-die,and handed him a paper ¢untaining the informadion that at a certain point in La* PBorte cemetery he had secreted a tin box containing money to the amount of $lO,OOO, which he had obtained by opening a bank after banking hours. This precious spot was designated on the paper by a diagram showing its location.. The man died and the paper was forwarded to the LaPorte.au_thorities, who took crowbars to the place indicated and prodded around in the soil, but without success. The subject then interested Dr. Collins,the great opium antidote, who with a shovel and a companion repaired to. the spot, and after a little digging unearthed a tin box w ith_,cdntaptﬁ~;&s},no—i ted. But the most remarkable of all the notable features of the affair is that the box had been twice punctur‘ed by the crowbars of the first searching party. The story further shows that Dr. Collins and companion received $1,500 and the Indianapolis physician’ $l,OOO reward money, and ‘the balance was returned to the robbed bank, the name of which is not medtioned. 1. e u e e - 0 Settll & —i L Sea - John J.

Republican View of Carpet Baggers. . H.V. Redfied, the well-known correspondent of the republican Cincinnati Commercial, writes to that paper - from Columbia, S.
