A Florida paper complains that there are in that Stato "too many lawyers, doctors, preachers, editors and tramps, and not enough men who earn their living by tho sweat of their brow."

Tho man who flutters himself that his word is as good as his bond should try a bank once. Banks were established for the express purpose of taking such men down several pegs in a great hurry. sporting editor figures up that there was more personal injury inflicted upon ruombcrs of base ball clubs last year than has ever been known in all the prize fights evor fought in America.

There is a good deal of fun in Senator John Sherman. At Senator Palmer's billiard parties Sherman is one of the jolliest of men.

But at billiards Sherman thaws out.

At Reading, Pa., a curious libel suit was tried last wook. A grocer, who had tried in vain to collect a small bill from a customer, hung a placard in his store, giving the name and stating that he owed the proprietor §4.82.

No one throws stones at Cottgrestetman Glass, of Tennessee. His autobiography in the Congressional Directory says that ho has long been an earnest Sundayschool teacher. He dresses in black, has a white beard, wears old-fashioned, sil-ver-bowed spectacles, and looks both venerable and righteous. He is very sensitive about his name. JDuring one Of bis speeches he overheard a colleague remark, "That's rather a fine exhibition of Glass-blowing, isn't it?" He never forgave the ilippant speaker.

Finally his eyes rested upon his wife. He took along look at her, and then exclaimed: "Jane, Jane, I never would have married you if I had known you was so homely."

OUR CONFESSION OF FAITH.

BY "WHICH IT IS HOPED ANY INJUSTICE MAY BE CORRECTED.

To THE READKBS OF THE MAIL: In common with many publishers and editors, we have been accustomed to look upon certain statements which we have seen in our columns as merely adroit advertising.

Consequently we feel justified in tak ing the liberty of printing a few points from one of our largest patrons, as a sort of confession of faith to our readers. Wo quote:

"We have convinced ourselves that by telling what we know to be true, we have produced at least a permanent convictioii in the public mind.' Nine years ago we stated what the national disease of this country was, and that it was rapidly increasing. Five years ago we stated that a marked• check had been given it. "The statistics of one of the largest life insurance companies of this country shows that iu 1SS3and 1884 the mortality from kidney disorders did not increase over the previoustyears other companies stated the same thing. It is not presumptuous for us to claim credit for checking these ravages.. "Seven years ago we stated that the condition of the kidneys was the key to the condition of health within the past five years all careful life insurance companies have conceded the truth of this statement, for, whereas, ten years ago, chemical analysis to determine the condition of the kidneys was not required, to-day millions of dollars in risks are refused because chemical examination discovers un&uspcctcd diseases of the kidneys. "Nine years ago wo stated that the ravage3 of Bright Diseaso were insignificant compared with other unsuspected disorders of the kidneys of many misleading names that ninety-three per cent, of human ailments are attribubtable to deranged kidneys, which fills the blood with uric acid, or kidney poison, which causes these many fatal aisoases* "The uric acid, or kidney poison, is the real cause of the majority of cases of paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease, convulsions, pneumonia, consumption, and. insanity oyer half the victims of consumption are first the victims of diseased kidneys. "When the recent death of an honored ex-official of the United States was announced, his physician said that although he was suffering from Briglit's Disease, that was not. the cause of death. He was not frank enough to admit that the apoplexy which overtook him in his bed was the fatal effect of the kidney poison in the blood, which had eaten away the substance of the arteries and brain nor was Logan*s^ physician honest enough to state that his fatal rheumatism was caused by kidney acid in the blood. "If the doctors would state in official reports the original, cause of death, the people of this country would be alarmc4^ yea, nearly panic stricken, at the fearful mortal! ty'from^kidney.disorders."

The writers of the above letters give these facts to the public sinjply to justify the claims that they have made, that "if the kidney and liver are kept iu a healthy condition by the use of Warner's safe cure, which hundreds of thousands have proved to be a specific, when all others failed, and that has received the endorsement of the highest medical talent in Europe, Australia and America, many a life would be prolonged and the happiness of the people preserved. It is successful with so many different cases because it, and it alone, can remove the uric acid from the blood through the kidneys."

Our readers are familiar with the preparation named. Commendation thereof has often appeared in our columns.

We believe it to be one of the best, if not the best, ever manufactured. We know the proprietors are men of character and influence.

We are certain they have awakened a widespread interest in the public mind concerning the importance of the kidneys. We believe with them that they are the key to health, and that for their restoration from disease and maintenance in health, there is nothing equal to this great remedy.

The proprietors say they "do not glory in this universal prevalence of disease, but having started out with the purpose of spreading the merits of Warner's safe cure before the world, because it cured our senior proprietor^ who was given up by doctors as incurable, we feel it our duty to state the facts and leave the public to its own inferences. We point to our claims, and to their public and universal verification with pride, and if the public does not believe what we say, we tell them to ask their friends and neigh bora what they think about our preparations.

As stated above, we cordially commend the perusal of this correspondence by our readers, believing that in so doing we are fulfilling a simple public obligation^ j!

OBITUARY

IWM. H. (ULHELLT.

After along and painful sickness Wm. H. Gilbert died at his home, No. 222 north Fifth street, at 8 o'clock Thursday morning.' He suffered from a complication of diseases. The immediate cause of his death and of his most acute suffering, since Sept. 2Sth, was rheumatism of the heart, but he had been afflicted for over Ave years. He was born at Paris, Ills., on May loth, ISM'3. and removed to Tcrre Haute in 1868 and was associated with Ben Harbert in the shoe business on south Fourth street. In 1878 he went into the confectionery business on north Fourth street and afterward removed to south Sixth street, opposite the postoffice, having bought out Mr. tslieap eight years ago.

He was a member oi Fort Harrison Lodge No. 157 I. O. O. F. and No. 520 of the Knights of Honor. He served in the three months' service of the late war in the 150th Illinois regiment.

On September 18th, 1S73, he was united in marriage to Miss Kate Lockwood, daughter of a former prominent citizen. Besides hi wife, he leaves two sons and a father and sister to mourn his loss. It is with feelings of regret that we chronicle the death of a man of this kind.

As a husband and father he was a model as a companion and socially his disposition was kind and cheerful. His ability to make and retain, friends was marvelous. His business principles were honesty and integrity, thereby commanding the respectandadmira tion of all who came in contact with him.

No man has had fewer enemies than W. H. Gilbert. He was an honest man, a true friend and a good citizen.

Died.

GILBERT.—-At 7 a. m., on Thursday, January 5th, of rheumatism of the heart, Win. II Gilbert, aged 41 years.

The funeral will take place on Sunday af ternoon at 2 o'clock from his late residence 222 north Fifth street..
