THE AMERIOUS DIALY TlMES-RECOK DER: FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 25. 1891. A CHARACTERISTIC LETTER. Shut the door against disease. Danger comes oft- onest through impure blood. Keep your 1 Mood in order, and you keep in health. For this, nothing equals Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discov ery. It invigorates tho liver, puri fies and enriches tho blood, and rouses every organ into healthy ac tion. By this means it cures. Ev ery part of the system feels its saving influence. Dyspepsia, Indi- S cstion, Biliousness, Scrofulous, kin aud Scalp Diseases — even Consumption (or Lung-scrofula) m its earlier stages, nil yield to it. It’s tho only Liver, Blood and Lung Remedy that’s guaranteed to bene fit or cure, or tho money is re funded. Trying terms to qell on —but it’s a medicine that can carry them out. “ Golden Medical Discovery ” contains ho alcohol to inebriate, and no syrup or sugar to derange digestion. It’s a concentrated vegetable ex tract; put up in large bottles; pleasant to tho taste, and equally good for adults or children. This is the way with the Ball corset: if you want ease and shapeliness, you buy it—but you don't keep it unless you like it. After two or three weeks’ wear, you can return it and have your money. Comfort isn’t all of it though. Soft Eyelets, and “bones” that can’t break or kink—Ball’s corsets have For sale by GEO. B.

About forty years ago tho staid Inhab itants of central Now York took a great liking to an active young surveyor who lived in Roxbury, a small town in Dela ware conttty. He arose early in the morning and tramped over the hills ami vales adjacent to where ho lived. With his surveying instruments lie took meas urements, made maps and found a ready sale for the product of his activity and brain. Although lie was a small youth he had a vigorous way aliout him thut pleased tho slow going farmers and delighted even tho loungers about the postoffice and grocery combined, to whom he gave •‘talks" on Saturday evenings. When ho left the township and moved away lor good the local prophets saw great things in storo for him, and pre dicted Unit some day ho might have been a selectman of the village if he had remained, hut they forgot him for years and only recalled his presenco when his identity with Jay Gould, tho famous financier, was proved to their astonish ment Robert Fullerton keeps an “old curi osity shop" on Third avenue near Eight eenth street, where almost any queer odd sort of thing can bo discovered. Among tho treasures shown a reporter was a letter written in 1851 by this same young surveyor, who could now doubt less cash iu his assets for a round f 100,- 000,000, if he felt so disposed. In spite of the fact that Mr. Gould spelled “tres pass," "liarometrical" and “damage” in a unique way nnd scattered capital let ters to suit himself, the letter looks thor oughly bnsinesslike, and it limy bo pre sumed that J udgo Sherman loaned the "level" ho possessed, nnd that it was re turned to him in proper condition. Tho fact that even ns a young man he was “connected" with the Newburg and Syrncnso railroad showed his early long ing for tho business in which he has tuado himself known all over tho world. “It’s curious," said Mr. Fullerton, ‘bnt yon will notico that ho was not only connected with one road, but he could not rest until ho had examined another route through West Settlement and Puses Brook. That he did things thoroughly is evident The handwriting is none of yonr offhand nlfairs, but ono can see the exactness with which every “t” is crossed and the care with which, after the letter is written, words were insorted to allow of no mistuke. The politeness and anxiety in the last para graph of tho letter proper are also appar ent, sncli os an enthusiastic boy coaid not fail to put in, knowing that a person of Judge Sherman's position would bo accustomed to respect as a judge. “Ho was also careful to add ‘jndgo’ at the beginning, so as to gi vo tho recipient the thrill of pleasure popularly supposed to mildly shock every person with bundle to his name. A postscript always adds to tho effect of a letter, for a man who might throw away a begging epistle cannot resist glancing at a postscript, andtheofferof pay for the nso of the' strument finished the note. “He bnd evidently not Intoudod to offer any money at first, but the thought of a possible refusal and the need of an 1 other nppcnl probably settled the matter. It could do no harm, unywny.’’—New York World. mz imk for Infants and Children* “Caitorla *-rowell adapted tochiW >nthat I recommend it as superior to any prescription known to xr v" H. A. Ancncx, U.
