A FORTUNE Inherited by few, is pure blood, free front hereditary taint. Catarrh, consumption, rheumatism. Scrofula, and many other maladies born in the blood, can be cfieetually eradicated only by the use of powerful alteratives. The standard specific | for this purpose—the one best I,

kncnvn and approved —is Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, the compound, concentrated extract of Honduras sarsaparilla. and other powerful alteratives. “I consider that 1 have been SO ED peveral hundred dollars' expense, by using Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and would strongly urge all who are troubled with lameness or rheumatic palps to give it a trial. lam sure i jt will do them permanent good, as it lias done me."—Mrs. Joseph Wood, West Plattsburgh, N. Y. Dr. J. W. Shields, of Smithville, Tenn., says: "I regard Ayer's Sarsaparilla as tl’< best blood medicine on earth, and know < many wonderful cures elTeetod I y its use.” " Formally years I was laid up uith Ser< ula, no treatment being of any hem at length I o .s recommended to give A Sarsaparilla a trial. I did so, and By Taking about a dozen boules, was restored to p feet health — weighing 230 pom.ds— and a: now a believer in the merits of Ayi-r’s Sarsaparilla.”—James Petsy, Mine Boss, Unikgnridge Coal Co.

I —LL ! WHEN LINCOLN studied LAW. Some New SforieH Os tho Youth of t}}B War ProMiUent. A son of the man who enabled Abrah.tm Lincoln to read law, ami then gave him the advice which started him on his public career, was giving some interesting reminiscences recently at the Kimoall. The narrator was Mr. Joe Hewitt of Galveston. Mr. Hewitt is a native of Natchez and was a gallant,daring young soldier. His father, Judge Hewitt, was a native of Kentucky and removed to Illinois when a young man. He forme,! a law partnership with a Col. Biker, who had been through the Mexican war and who was kilted at the head of his regiment by a lex is regiment in the tight at Ball's Bluli’. Hewitt and Biker were prominent lawyers. Young Lincoln was running a small grocery store in the same town or near by. He had picked up a knowledge of survevimL and would go oil for a week or a month with his compass and chain. On these trips he would leave his store in the hands of a clerk. Once he was gone four weeks. When he returned he found the store elo-ed. His clerk had sold out and skipped with the funds. Lincoln was badly broken up. In his distress he went to Judge Hewitt tor advice. Lincoln told his woes and ended by declaring that lie did not know what to do, ‘You would make a success at the 1 Jaw, Abe, Why don’t, you studv and

get admitted to the bar? ’ said Jud^e Hewitt. "1 cannot support myself and buv hw bonks, judge,” Lincoln replied, ‘ I luruing tot 01. Baker Judge Hewitt said; 'Ton have no objections, col* one!, to Abe’s using our library, have i YOU?” Col. Baker was perfectly willing. Lincoln thought he could support j himself while reading law by teaching ; night school, and he decided to begin tiie study, for the law had been his ambuion. He did teac'i at night and studied I during the day in Hewitt & Baker’s cilice. Alter he was admitted he rode the’eircuils with these lawvers. "1 have heard my father say that | I Lincoln used to provoke them all by telling stories and siughicr songs at I night when the rest of them wanted to go to sleep. Col. B iker was the only ' one who could stop him. The colonel I would rip out some vigorous oaths and Lincoln would laugh and shut up and go to sleep,” Long before the war . ge Hewitt ! removed to Natchez, where he became prominent in his profession. He lost 1 sight of Lincoln. When Quitman was first sent to congress from Mississippi Judge Hewitt gave him letters of in- , troduction to some members he knew. I He did not know that Abraham Lincoln was in the house and was sur- I prised to receive a letter from him inquiring why he had not given Quitman I a letter to him, "ff you have forgot- j i ten the old days in Illinois I have nut.” 1 wrote Lincoln.

they turned Judne Hewitt and his daughters out of their beautiful home ami would not allow them a single thing except the clothes they had on. The Hewitts were absolutely without shelter and personal effects, except as their friends assisted them. Adolph Meyer, a Natchez merchant, was in Washington just about that time, and he met President Lincoln, who asked him if he knew Judge Hewitt, Meyer said he did. and Mr. Lincoln told him ♦.hat when he went back home he ; wished him to tell Judge Hewitt that if he wanted any protection to tele- I graph him and he should have it if all I the armies in the United Slates were required to give it. Jmlne Hewitt would not ask Lincoln for any favor, | and at tiie end of the war when he recovered bis home it was almost a wreck. N t a single book of his library, which had been the largest ami finest one in the stale, was left.—Atlanta Constitution.

'The bounty paid by Minnesota last year for wolf scalps amounted to $30,000 With his thumb, a boy is said to have saved the Netherlands from inundation. Manv people have been saved from the invasi " of disease by a Lottie of Ayers Sarsaparilla. This medicine imparts tone to the system and strengthens every organ and fibre of the body. A Promising Youth. [LaPorte Herald.] A ten-year old boy snatched a pocketbook from the hand of a little girl who was looking into the window of a store on Main street Thursday. A young man caught him and made him give up the pocket book. What a Wall street speculator that boy would make with proper training! _ CP., KIL.MC R' S__ gSW Kidney, Liver and Bladder Cure.
