A Western Republican member of
the House 1 who for many years has
sustained the most intimate relations
with Mr Used, and whose statement
is entitled to full credence,” is quoted
in the Washington correspondence of
the Philadelphia Ledger as saying that
Mr. Reed does not intend to retire
from Congress It is his purpose
according to his friend, to remain upon
the floor of the House as a sort id free
lance. Ho did not desire reelection to
the speakership, hence lie permitted
the rumor that he would retire from '
Congress to become current, so that a
selection of his successor might be '
made, free from any influence that
might tie brought into the contest by ’
reason of his purpose to remain in ,
Congress. The Western man goes on i
to say that Mr. Reed does not desire '
important committee assignments, but (
wishes to be left as free as may be <
possible. He will retain an advisory
connection with the New York law

A FAMOUS PLATE.
The First IliiKrnihlg IViu, Printed I
on a Ln *i n d i-i-am* Bundle.
Two groups of tourists were standing
in the Pitti palace before the large plate
of pure silver upon which Finignerra,
the great muster of early engraving,
had depicted Ids lovely “Madonna su<i
Child" in a trellised arbor covered with
roses. An Italian lady was telling her
friends in an undertone the charming
anecdote of Finignerra and the laun
dress.
The artist, it seems, in mastering the
new and difficult art of engraving upon
metal, had acquired a singularly keen
eye and delicate touch, and he also pos
sessed a number of very fine and sharp
instruments, which he used in his
work.
Being a kindly man he sonietimes
place'! both his sure hand and his line
tools at the service of his friends and
neighbors in performing for them some
of the simpler operations of surgery,
until he acquired quite a reputation for
. ctoi ing their hurts.
One day a poor laundress who had
been washing clothes, in wringing out
a garment in which a needle had been
carelessly left, ran it deeply into her
hand. Worse yet, it broke off in the
wound and a part remained imbedded
in the flesh. She was in much pain,
and on her way back from the stream
I where she had been washing she stop
ped at the house of the artist and was
admitted.
Entering his studio she hastily set
down her wet and heavy bundle and
held out the injured band, begging his
assistance. Finignerra left bis work to
help her, and after long mid delicate
manipulation extracted the broken nee
dle. The woman thanked him and
turned to go, lifting her bundle from
its resting place.
Then lie saw that she had set it upon
one of his engravings. Like all others
at that time, it was a plate of engraved
metal, complete in itself, and regarded
as a single and sufficient picture, exact
ly as if it had been a painting.
But as the damp bundle was raised
the quick eye of Finignerra saw that it
had received an impression from the
engraved picture beneath, and his quick
mind seized at once the suggestion of
the possibility of indefinite reproduc
tion from a single original. So that
fr.mi the kindness of a great artist to a
poor washerwoman sprang the discov
ery which has placed the beautiful
products nf the engraver’s art within
the r< in ii of all of ns today!—Youth's

$•
It is stall d that one morning recent
ly a young fellow who had just secured
a clerkship in a government office was
considerably startled by a little scene
that he witnessed. An elderly man, one
of the senior clerks in the room, sud
denly rose from his desk, dragged the
comfortable chair on which he had
been sitting into the middle of the
seized a poker and attacking the
chair with great vigor succeeded in
breaking one of its legs. When it was
done, the official gave a sigh of relief
and flung the chair into a corner of the
room The budding junior's first thought
was that his si nior had suddenly taken
leave of Lis senses, and he almost ex
pected that his colleagues would put
him under restraint. But to his aston
ishment the other clerks hardly raised
their eyes while the work of destruction
was in progress. Before the office work
was over the newcomer sought informa
tion from one of his fellow clerks.
“Can you tell me, ” said he. “why
Mr. Dash carried on in that extraordi
nary fashion'.' I mean, of course -‘'hen
he Imike a perfectly sound leg oft
chair in which he had been sitting.’’
"Oh, that was all right!" replied the
other with a meaning laugh. “A caster
had come off one of the legs of that
chair, and, you know, ‘my lords’ will
not provide us with new casters; they
will at tend to nothing less than a broken
leg. So Dash had to break one of the
legs to get his chair put right at the
public expense.’’- London Standard.
The Dead Irlnliiunii.
Some Irish body snatchers had rifled
'i grave and bid their booty in a corner
of the churchyard, when it occurred to
a half tipsy fellow, who had been watch
ing them unobserved, that it would be
pleasanter to be driven back to the near
est town than to walk. He accordingly
sei in ted the dead man under a hedge
and laydown in his place. Hewn duly
transferred to a cart, but when about
half the journey was over one of the
men who had touched his hand scream
ed to his friend, “Good heavens, the
body is warm!"
Hereupon, in a deep voice, the sup
posed dead man remarked, "If you had
been where l ye been for the last two
days, ypn'd be warm too!"
In a moiui iit he was left in full pos
session of the vehicle!—Sir M. E. Grant

THE CAUSE OF
DYSPEPSIA.
Loss of Vitality Known to be the Parent of this Dread
Disease—The Method of Cure thd Has
Proved Most Successful.
From the Republican
The most common of all human ailments (
is deranged digestion: the most aggravating]
disease, inherited by man, dyspepsia. In
sidious in its nature, varied in its forms it
tortures its victims, baffles the skill of phy
sicians and the power of medicine.
The primary cause of dyspepsia is lack of
vitality; the absence of nerve force; the loss
of the life-sustaining elements of the blood.
It is a truism that no organ can properly
perform its function when the source of
nutriment fails; when it is weakened on one
hand and over-taxed on the other. When
the stomach is robbed of the nourishment
demanded by nature, assimilation censes un
natural gases are generated, the entire sys
tem responds to the discord.
A practical illustration of the symptoms
and torture of dyspepsia is furnished by the
case of Joseph T. Vandyke, 440 Hickory St.,
Scranton, Pa-
in telling his story Mr. Vandyke says:
“Five years ago, I was afflicted with a
trouble of the stomach,, which was very
aggravating. I had no appetite, could not
enjoy myself at any time, and especially
was the trouble severe when I awoke in the
morning. I did not know what the ailment
was, but it became steadily worse and I was
in constant misery.
“I called in my family physician, and lie
diagnosed the case as catarrh of the stomach.
He prescribed for me and I had his prescrip
tion filled. I took nearly all of the medi
cine, but still the trouble became worse,
and I felt that my condition was hopeless.
My friends recommended various proprie
tary remedies, some of them among the best

(in the market, but I tried several of them
without receiving benefit. After I had been
- sufl'ering geveral months, and had secured
no relief from any of the many remedies
which I had taken, a friend of mine, by the
name of Thomas Campbell, also a resident
of this city, urged me to try I*r. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People. I told him it
would be ft useless waste of money to buy
them, ns I was convinced that nothing could
do me any good.
“I was finally persuaded to buy a box
and began to use the pills according to
directions. Before I Lad taken the second
box I began to feel relieved, and after taking
a few more boxes I considered myself re
stored to health. The pills gave me new
life, strength, ambition and happiness.”
An unfailing specific is found in Dr. Wil
liams’Pink Pills for Pale People for such
diseases ns locomotor ntaxia, partial paralysis,
St. Vitus’ dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheuma
tism, nervous headache, the after eflect of la
grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and
sallow complexions, that tired feeling result
ing from nervous prostration, all diseases re
sulting from vitiated humors in the blood,
such ns scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They
nre also ft specific for troubles peculiar to
females, such ns suppressions, irregularities
and all forms of weakness. Di men they effect
a radical cure in all cases arising from mental
worry, overwork or excesses of whatever
nature. These pills are manufactured by the
Dr. Co., Schenectady,
N. Y. and are sold only in boxes bearing the
firm’s trade-mark and wrapper at 50 cents a
box or six boxes for $2.50, and are never sold
in bulk. They may be had of all druggists.
LAND POOR.
A Schema to Give Evary Man a
Farm, by a Person Who is
Land Poor.
M it. Editor : Some years ago I took an
idea that land was the safest investment
that a man could make in Georgia, and as
a consequence, I am now land poor; have
more than I can profitably make use of,
and consequently want to get rid of some,
or all of it, and I have decided to adopt
the following measure to get rid of it:
I will say,in the first place, that the
land is the best in Monroe county, is fine
ly watered, and is adapted to raising cat
tle, sheep and hogs, and is the best lor
cotton, corn, wheat, oats and other grains
in the county. There arc a number of
tenant houses on the place, and a home
recently built that cost me over <3,000 to
build. The land, in the first place, cost
me from <25 down to <4 per acre-saying
altogether, about <lO per acre, without
improvemeiTts ; and to get rid of it, I will
average the whole place at <lO per acre,
in the following way : I will have the
entire place, 1,600 acres, sub-divided into
50-acre lots, at <lO per acre, giving more
than 50 acres to one party, if desired, and
less than 50 to another, according to his
ability to pay for it, as the case may be,
the entire quantity to be drawn for.
In other words, the number of lots and
quantity of land to be put in a bat or box,
and drawn out under approval of a com
mittee of gentlemen, at some stated time,
so that all shall have a fiirchar.ee to get a
home at a low price, and no one has a
chance of losing their m >ney, or failing to
get their value, as paid, and some get a
farm at far less than cost
The land is 12 miles from Macon, a city
of some 50,000 or 60,000 people, and is
adapted to market gardening, and for
northern people who know how to work,
it otters a fine opportunity for a colony of
energetic citizens.
It is all together, and would make a fine
settlement, having the best of pastures,
water, springs, creeks, etc. The land is
timbered with hickory, beach, oak and
pine, and some cedar; in fact, it is the best
place I know of, and I am satisfied the ed
’ * 4’ ♦V»/ » f TY«’ ill VO MC Ii I'd* "V7 11 RV I
say.
I would be glad to have any parties who
mean business, to go over the plantation,
familiarize themselves with the advan
tages, and communicate with me at
Barnesville, before going into the matter,
assuring them that I mean what I say.
In addition to the terms offered above, I
have concluded to make the terms of pay
ment in four annual payments without
interest, which is tantamount to putting
the price of the land very low. The
titles to the land have been in the posses
sion ot one or two parties for years, and
have never been questioned and arc as
good as gold.
lam not particularly wedded to this
plan of getting rid of my lands, but only
suggest the idea—any better plan would
be thankfully substituted.
