Jordan, the General Command¬ ing the United Confederate Vet¬ erans, printed on the same. The forth page has the Confederate tag, in proper colors on its flight to the stars. Beneath it is a col¬ ored illustration of the famous scene at the Battle of the Wilder¬ ness. This explanation’s found under it: “The artist describes the mo¬ ment on May 12, 1864, when Jokton’s Division had been sur¬ rounded and captured, and Gen I eral Lee had ridden to the front to lead the charge that was to save the city of Richmond. Lift¬ ing his hat, Lee was about to give the command, when General Cordon rushed to his side ex¬ claiming’: “To the rear, Generali the safety of the army demands it! These are Virginians, and they never fail! Forward!” As the command of the gallant Georgian rang out, the line sprang forward to the charge, and two stalwart soldiers seizing the reins of old Traveler, forced the commander they adored to go the rear.” There are thirty-six pages of descriptive matter enclosed by this cover, On July 3d the United Confed¬ erate Veterans will hold their Convention.

She instinct or hab¬ it which makes her unhappy until her house has been daily put in order, gives her in politics a special vocation for set¬ ting crooked things right. Let her but see a need for improve¬ ment and neither the question of expense nor anffcther obstacle cuts much of a figure in the case. At the last municipal elections at Edgerton, Kansas, six women were elected to the offices of may¬ or, police judge, and members of the city council. It is said that their election was intended as a practical joke, but if so the jokers took themselves in, for the women immediately inaugurated a policy of municipal reform which inclu¬ ded the renovation of side-walks, the cleaning of streets, the clos¬ ing up of cider joints, etc. This caused a howl from the men, who declared that they had to pay the taxes and that they didn’t want and wouldn’t have these improvements. All six of the women have therefore resign¬ ed, and a special election will be held on Monday. A movement is on foot to re-elect the ladies and with such an endorsement of their policy they will go ahead and put the town of Edgerton in de¬ cent order if it breaks the tax¬ payers’ hearts. If the women are not returned Edgerton will miss a rare chance for a village house-cleaning. NOT A PROPER QUESTION. Schoolboy (poring over his les¬ son)— Father, what language do they speak in Chilli? | Father—H’m! The language spoken in Chili, my son, the—er _language spoken—er—in Chili is _do you find that question in the book you are studying, my Schoolboy—No, but I thought I’d like to know. Father (severely)—Then dont ask it, my son. If it isn’t m the book it isn’t proper for you to know.—Chicago Tribune. Between June 30, 1888, and June 30, 1889, the government paid out for pensions $87,624,- 779 11. It is announced from Washington that the expendi tures of the pension office tiom June 30,1889, to June 30 1890, will be exactly $109,357,534—an nearly increase in one year of $32,000,000! Besides this, there are the Senate dependent service pension and the House in conference pension bills hanging fire committee, the estimated, addi¬ tional annual cost of which is any¬ where from 140.000 000 to $60, 000 000. It will be observed that it costs money to save the coun¬ try, and that the longer the coun¬ try is saved the greater the cost. According to a A irginia paper the oldest person in the state, if not in the nation, is Sarah Gad dess, a colored woman of (Oreide. slave Taylor L county. She was a when in ■ (old Virginia family the revolution began, and remem¬ bered distinctly circumstances of that war. Friends who know her history estimate her age at 130 years. She alone caring for her¬ self with the aid of neighbors, for her, who erected a small house the whole community contribut¬ ing to her support. Senator Wilson, of Iowa, from the Committee on the Judiciary, has reported to the Senate a bill providing that the interstate com merce laws shall not be held to restrain any State from prohibit¬ the sale ing, regulating or taxing outside of liquors imported from the State. This bill gives each State the right to exercise the police power to protect and its act citi¬ of zens from liquor, The is committee an simple justice. it is in accordance reports that the with the suggestions Court m decision. re¬ cent Bouteile, Supreme of Maine has in¬ Mr. similar bill the troduced a in House.

A Letter From An Eminent Divine In Eegard to the Best Medicine in the World. Eeed. WONDERFUL CURES Atlanta, Ga., January 2,1890. Six months atto, at the request or a friend who was interested in the sale of King's Roy¬ al Gormetnor, I made a written statement of the benefits! had received from the use of thut medicine. In that statement I expressed the belief that it would cure me entirely of Catanh. Within the last two months I have receive! letters from every quarter of the na¬ tion calling on me for fnrthervnformation in regard to my health . It has been impossible for inc to write privately to ouch person who has made this request, and [ am therefore under the necessity of aiakiny another pub¬ lic statement. I am free from Catarrh. I believe that I cOuld (ret a certificate to this ofTect from any competent physician. I have used no medi¬ cine within the last six months except Kind's ltoyal Germetuer. My health Is better than ithiis been in thirty years. I am in possession of information which warrants me in sa vinir that the relief which I have experienced fiom the use of the medicine is not more certain and radical than that which it has brought, other to hundreds of persons in Georgia ami States. I feel it to be my duty to say, also, that the effects of this remedy upon my wife have been even more signal and wonderful. Ner¬ She has been almost a life-long invalid from vous Headache, Neuralgia and Rheumatism. Iu a period of thirty years she has scarcely inula day’s exemption from pain. months. She lias A been using Germetuer about two inoie complete transformation I have never witnessed. Every symptom of disease inis disappeared.
