Bob Toylor is nothing if not orig inal, as the following extracts from his speech just before the inauguration of his successor, as governor of Ten nessee, shows: ‘Mr. Speaker, Lsdies and Gentle men : I am about to shuffle off this mortal coil of politics and fly away to the heaven of my native mountains, where I may think and dream in peste, safe from the sickening sting of unjust criticism ; safe from the talons ot some old political vulture; safe from the elimy kies and t’ne keen dag ger of ingratitude. ‘I do mean to say that all politi cians are vultures or that they are al) hypocrites or assassins ; for the great majority of our public men are up right and honest and worthy of the confidence reposed in them by the people ; yet there are black wings in the political firmament, and reptiles craw! and hiss in every capitol. But thank God, the live thunders of eternal truth always clear the atmosphere, and the heel of justice will surely bruise the serpent’s head. “I do not retire from this office with the rankling of disappointment and chagrin within my bosom, but rather as one who retires from labor to rest; from war to peace; from trouble to happiness. “I do not retire, the somnambulist of a shattered realm, but with all the buds vs hope bursting into bloom and all the bowers of the future ringing with melody. lam contented with my lot in life.

Some gentleman with an artistic and highly trained sense of humor added a “d” to the word “die,” and went on his way rejoicing. Next day a person who makes a practice of haunting the pub lic buildings in Brooklyn and professes acquaintance with every well known man in the vicinity, dropped into the clerk’s office. “See here.” he said, “when did Sine pass in Ins checks?” “What’s that?” demanded the as tonished clerk “When did Sine die? I see the courts are closed on account of it.” ‘ Ob,” said the clerk, pulling himself together, “he died yesterday. Did you know him?” “Know him? I should say I did. Knew his father before him.

STILL ANOTHER COURTMARTIAL Thia Time it it General Miles Who Will be Tried. Washington, January 30. The president has under consideration a courtmartial for Major General Miles. How far the preparations to that end have gone it is impossible to say, but it comes from the highest authority that a courtmartial is imminent. This is to be based on the general 1 !. charges in the matter of the beef fn. niched lhe army and upon certain other matters for which he will be strongly criticised in the report of the war investigation committee to be handed to the pres ident within the next few days. It has been evident throughout the hearings that the committee was bringing out a good deal of tes timony against General Miles, and a report showing blame on him for the selection of bad camps, for uncalled tor statements about the bee: furnish ed the army, and for other sins of com mission and of omission, is confident ly expected. It comes from high officials of the war department tba‘. the determina tionhas been reached to order a court martial of the major general command ing the army, if the commission’s re port furnishes the ground for a court martial, and they believe it will.

The Kansas City Journal telis a story of a Kansas man who believes that God sends revelations to true Christians. Not long ago he had a revelation in which he was informed that one of his church brothers had stolen his harness. Meeting in the road, be proceeded to divulge the na ture of the revelation and to demand restitution. Immediately lhe brother went into a trance, from which ho came presently with the statement that be bad consulted the angel of the Lord and had been informed that it was hie duty to smite his accuser hip and tbigb, whereupon he began to belabor the first brother, who stood still and took his whipping with uncomplain ing humility, after which the pair said in unison: “Let God be praised!” and then went their several ways. But, up to last accounts, lhe hiding place of that missing harness had not been divulged. Deafness Gannet be C erect By local application, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition ot the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroy ed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Charles Stewart Parnell was 28 years old before he made his entry into the political arena. How the step was taken is thus described by Mr. R. Barry O'Brien in his I f , -iphy of the great Irish leader "One night during the general elec . tion of 1874 Parnell dined with his sis- I ter, Mrs. Dickit: .on. in Dublin. After dinner Captain Dickinson said ‘Well. Charles, why don't you go into parlia ment? Why don t you stand for your native county ? "To the surp’l ■ f every one at the tab]... Parnel! .. i < ticl.ly ‘I will Whom ougk: ! . ■•••.•? “ ‘Oh, ’ said Dickinson, ‘we will see atKut that tomorrow. The great thing is you have decided to stand.' “‘I will see about it nt once, said Parnell ‘I have made up my mind, and I won’t wait. Whom ought Ito see?' “ ‘I think Gray of The Freeman's Journal. ’ said John, who was also pres ent “ ‘Very well, said Parnell, rising from the table, ‘I shall go to him at once. Do you come with me, John.' "The two brothers then went away to gether. It was now 11 o’clock, and they found Gray at The Freeman’s office. He was amazed when Parnell entered and said. ‘I have come to say. Mr Gray, that I mean to stand for Wick low as a Home Ruler. ’ ” It was only the year after that, on the death of John Mitchel, Parnell was re turned for Meath. At first it is plain that Parnell had few if any followers. The ability of the representative from Meath was questioned Butt was then the controlling power It was only in 1880 that Parnell became the leader Broge*. The chronicles of 1456 speak of 160 vessels in its basins and of German mer chants carrying away over 2,000 pieces of cloth to the distant lands of Russia and Poland. It was the exchange of Eu rope, possessing in the fourteenth cen tury 52 guildsand 150,000 inhabitants, more than three times as many as it now contains. Among its wares we read of leather from Spain, wool from Eng land, silk from Italy and Persia, linen and cloth from Brabant, hemp and flax from Holland, wine from Portugal, Greece and France and hardware from Germany, which included every variety of object in ivory, bone, wood, glass, tin, copper, lead, iron, silver and gold. It had its factories, its curriers, its dy ers, and its taxation considerably ex ceeded that of Ghent. But at the com mencement of the fourteenth century its troubles began—troubles from within and from without. The Suene was rendered useless by the invasion of sand as far as Sluis (Ecluse), treachery, slaughter and po litical jealousies and rivalries completed the fall, and in 1544 its inhabitants had diminished to 7,696. Then came the re ligiouswars and persecutions from 1567 to 1584, the fanatics and the Gueux de stroying what remained, leaving little for the French revolutionists.—Good Words.

The hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark, puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow, parsnip-colored complexion indicates it. A physician would ask if you had rheu matism, a dull pain or ache in the back or over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to urinate often, or a burning or scalding in passing it; if after passing there is an un satisfied feeling as if it must be at once re peated, or if the urine has a brick dust de positor strong odor. When these symptoms are present, no time should be lost in removing the cause. Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the bladder, inflammation, causing steppage, and sometimes requiring the drawing of the urine with instruments, or may run into Bright's Disease, the most dangerous stage of Kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great discovery of the eminent kidney and blad der specialist, is a positive remedy for such diseases. Its reputation is world wide and it is so easy to get at any drug store that no one need suffer any length of time for want of it.
