Puck any a: "The white man who drives a coal cart has to resort to soap and water, Just as does a negro who has spent the day in whitewashing." Bat the most strange things of all are usually resorted to when a man gets sick. Of course he doesn't want a doctor at least not at first. He usually goes to the so-called saloon and gets a drink, which makes him feel rather dazed, so he takes another, and comes home temporarily elated, supposing himself cured. When he wakes next morning, with a headache twice as bad as ever, and feeling feverish and cross, he concludes he will have to try something else. He takes a dose of whatever he happens to have in the house some liver renovator, kidney evaporator, or heart enlarger and sets forth saying if he isn't better to-morrow he will send for the doctor. Next morning he is sick in bed ; the doctor is called, shakes his head, prescribes two or three kinds of medicine, according to his medical creed, but always insists upon perfect quiet, and that the patient must not go to his office for two weeks, or the result will be serious. He does, in truth, lie in bed for a week or ten days, his recovery retarded by a multitude of remedies, and the knowledge that his business is going to ruin in his absence. When he does drag out at last, he finds that the family must deny themselves everything but the common necessities of life for some time to come, in order that the doctors bin -may oe paid, ana repairs made In business. ' . Now. the proper thine for this man to have done was to have bought a bottle of New Style, Pleasant Taste Vinegar Bitters, the moment he felt the first headache, and to have taken two teaspocnfuis at once. Two or three half-doses, two days apart-after the first dose had taken effect, would have cured mm ana prevented ms illness, and his consequent financial loss. The man did not know this, or, as Beecher would have said, his foresight was not so good as his hindsight. Another time, tnis man will know just what to do to save pain, time and money. mew style, neasans raste vinegar Bitters is a good blood purifier, cathartic and tonic, contains neither alcohol nor opium, has a most delicious flavoring, and win not narm an lniant.

Tricycles and Tandems. . Senator Daniel, in a speech opposing the meddling Southern election investigation resolution offered by Senator Hoar, which the Republicans have determined in caucus to pass, told the Republicans some truths which they will do well to heed. He reminded them that State rights, which they want to violate, had elected Benjamin Harrison President and recalled the Republican party to power, while a majority of 94,601 voters had cast their suffrages in favor of Grover Cleveland. The Republican party owed a debt to State rights for its incoming President, and the country owed a debt to State rights for the domestio tranquility which hailed his coming. The Virginia Senator then alluded to the charges of bribery in New York during the recent election ; to the purchase of voters in Indiana in "blocks of five," and to the colonization of aliens in West Virginia, as well as to the counter-charges made by the Re publicans. He asked what a pande-monium.what a terrible suspense, what a paralysis of business would have fol lowed had not State rights exercised their conservative and healing sway. Qen. Harrison's title of President, which had been sealed and given him was not given to him by a nation, or by a majority of its people, but by sov ereign States, which had commissioned him as their Chief Magistrate. State rights held the ladder for Benjamin Harrison to ascend the presidential chair, had given the Senators their prerogatives, and had lifted the Republican party out of the Slough -of Des pond and brought it within sight of the goal of its desires. The Senator referred to the old axiom about praising the bridge that carried one safely across the stream. And now that the State rights bridge had carried the Republican party safely over the turbulent stream of conflict, it was meet that party confess that after all it was a pretty good bridge. That Republican would be an ingrate who would turn back and destroy what had done him and his party so much good. It would be indeed astounding if New England Senators should unite to break it down. In conclusion Mr. Daniels said : "I was amazed when I read Mr. Hoar's resolution, gravely requiring the Sen ate to enter into an inquiry of the election of members of the House of Representatives. If anything more un-American or more in conflict with the spirit of the American constitution could nave oeen suggested, l am at a loss to conjecture what that thing is." Senator Blackburn,or Joe Blackburn, as his friends here call him, has given Billy Chandler a scare from which he may not recover for quite a while, and but for for the interference of Senator Faulkner he might have gotten a severe tnrastung. Tne trouble took place in a committee room of the Senate and was caused by a report which Chandler had made reflecting on Sec retary Vilas and ex-Indian Commis sioner Atkins. The Kentucky Sena tor questioned the facts stated in the report and asked where Chandler got his information. Chandler became indignant and said he did not propose to be bull-dozed by an ex-slave driver. This enraged Blackburn, who reached across the desk catching Chandler by the ear and raising him up in the air as though he intended to give him a spanking with the other hand. At this stage Mr. Faulkner got his arm around Blackburn and Chandler was released from his perilous position Very appropriately on Washington's birthday, the President signed the bill admitting the States of North and South Dakota, Montana and Washing- ton into the Union. Representatives Cox and Springer have received many letters and telegrams thanking them for their persistent efforts in behalf of the bill. Genial "old Rosy," General Rose-crans, is now on the retired list of the Army with the rank of brigadier-gen eral, the bill to that effect having passed both Houses and been signed by the President. In passing the Senate bill pensioning the widow of Gen. Sheridan, the House reduced the amount from $3,500 to $2,500 per year. The Senate has refused the amendment and the bill has gone to a conference committee. Another actor in the Garfield tragedy is dead. This time it is Dr. Bliss, the physician who had charge of the case, Ten thousand people, the largest crowd ever in the White House on one evening, attended the last public reception of President and Mrs. Cleve- i land.

Last week was the coldest weather of the season. W. O. Tabler and family visited friends in this vicinity last Tuesday. Ed. Andrews, of Hoaglin township, was in KoBt Kidge several days tnis week. Sheldon Sarber is making some sub stantial improvements on the infirmary farm this winter. Peter Knittle and James Trego and their families visited G. W. Bope last Tuesday evening. - What will Thomas Robinson's best girl in Ridge township say when she reads the Pleasant township items of last week and learns that he has an other girl over there ? lJ. W. Longwell returned home last Friday from an extended trip to Colorado and New Mexico. He brought some fine specimens of the different ores, and says that he has not seen a drop of rain since he left home, which was on the 12th of last November. HARRISON TOWNSHIP. H. F. Larue moved on the Glenn farm Tuesday. C. F. Germann was at Bucyrus and Forest, O. last week. Dan Meilly was ' at Delphos last Thursday attending the wedding of a friend. We understand that a son of Isaac Brittsan was severely injured last week by a saw log. Several young men of this township attended a party over in Pleasant township last Monday evening. They did not go into the house but rather chose to stand at the windows and look in. Better go in next time ' or stay away entirely. John Bresler died suddenly last Thursday morning. He was awake and talked to his son when he came to build fire in his room. When it was time to call him for breakfast he was found to be dead. It is supposed that heart disease was the cause.

WHITFIELD, Mumps nave made their appear ance in this neighborhood and it will no doubt stop the school, as some of the pupils kept up a regular attend ance while afflicted. John Tipple and David Knox, of Venedocia, attended the religious ser vices at this places last Sunday. Mr. Knox has been working in Columbus for some time past and has only come home to make preparations to move there. A Mr. Myers, of Hoaglin township, delivered a temperance lecture to the people of this vicinity one week ago last Monday evening. The speaker dwelt long on the blighting eflects of alcohol on the pleasantries of home and happiness of life. ' The farmers who are hauling their corn to town are complaining or tne low prices, and those who refused 4 cents per pound for their hogs are kicking themselves because they did not accept the offer. The farmer cer tainly does meet with a great many disappointments, and like the rich man who is spoken of in Bob Burns' tale of the "Twa Dogs," "If na real ill perplex them. They make enough themselves to vex them." And it came to pass in the days of James, the Reverend, that a certain young man took unto himself a wife, and she was such an one as abideth in the hearts of many friends. Now, when the ceremony was over the min ister lingered a little while, for the young man had not yet opened his purse and filched from it the one thing that is needful. When the minister perceived that the young man was ig norant and selfish he departed. And when the people heard these things they marvelled among themselves, for they wist not who the young man was but they said many things concerning the ungratefulness of humanity.

The Bulletin of last week stated that the Times and JiepuUican were defending Arnold because of that big advertisement. This tells us in plain words that the impecunious editors of the Bulletin are jealous because they don't get a share of that big advertise ment. Shame on such hypocrisy and false dealing. Last week Thos. Pollock caused the arrest of a Mr. Palmer, teacher in that district, for severely punishing a boy whose home is at Mr. Pollock's. Being brought before the J. P. for a hearing he was fined $8 and costs, amounting to $11.65. We learn that Mr. Palmer atiDealed the case to court where it will be tried at the next term. Only one more number till Mr. Har rison's inauguration. On next Mon day the good old Democratic party after a 4 years honest reign must go to make room for the corrupt Republican party.
