He gave $10 to the Charleston sufferers, $10 to the Grant monument fund, $10 as prize money to the best looking triplets at a county fair in New York, and the “substantial sum of money” with which he consoled the family of the dead engineer who lost his life to save Mr. Cleveland’s special train from destruction turns out to have been $10.” We have endeavored to look up Grover’s record on the “X” record. We find he was a ten-months’ baby, was weaned when he was ten months old. At ten years old he was an apt scholar, and was admitted to prac- tice law when twice ten years of age, was elected city attorney in half of ten years thereafter. When three times ten years old he was elected sheriff of Erie county. Ten years after he was made Governor of the state of New York, carried the state in the presidential election by a clear popular majority of ten hundred. Carried Texas by ten times ten thousand.

Will be re-elected president by ten times ten thousand popular majority and will be five times ten years old before he is re-elected president.

The largest number of these eyes are bought by laborers who are exposed to fire, and who are conse- quently liable to lose an eye.

Mr. Hayes, while exercising this great trust, traveled about the coun- try a good deal and was at all times, whether North or South, treated with that consideration, by all parties, that the American people have always felt was due the acting chief magis- trate of the country. The republican party, and with it the men of the G. A. R., who are in sympathy with it, seem to have lost their reason; and great political organizations do not run mad without cause. For two years the president has filled his office with such marked patriotism and with such consumate wisdom that nothing was given his enemies upon which to hang an objection until the flag episode seemed to them to afford them a little bit of standing room. But notwithstanding the republican party and its acting allies of the G. A. R. seem to have lost all patriotic impulses, and have suffered party loyalty to blot out loyalty to a common country, they will yet learn that the thinking men of the country have not lost their respect for the country nor for its representative head. All sufferers with such chronic ailments as liver disease, dyspepsia, blood diseases, cough consumption (scrofula of the lungs), and kindre: diseases should know that Dr. Pierce’s **Golden Medical Discov- ery” is their best friend in such deep affliction. It comes to soothe alleviate and cure. “Three weeks behind, sah, but I'ze gwine to pay up.” “Dat’s good news.

Princeton, Mo., Aug. 31.—At the meeting of the Mercer county agri- cultural society here to-day among the entertainments was a balloon ascension, made in fine style, butthe man who went up—Randall Blakesly —hung to a trapeze bar by his hands until after the balloon had descended some distance when he fell to the ground and was badly mashed and killed instantly. The fall must have been 400 feet or more. i tles It is Henry Watterson who says that “some people estimate the abili- ty of a periodical and the talent of its editor by the amount of original matter. It is a comparatively easy matter for a frothy editor to string out a column of words on any and all subjects. His ideas may flow on in a weak, washy, everlasting flood, and his command of language may enable him to tie them together like a bunch of onions, and yet his paper may be but a meagre and poor con- cern. Indeed, the mere writing part of editing a paper is but a small portion of the work. The care, the time selecting is far more important, and the fact of agood editoris better shown by his selections than any thing else; and that, we know, is half the battle.” A. N. Beard, of Rantoul, ill., is 75 years old, but the other day he churned 110 pounds of butter, work- ed it, packed it and sold $10 worth, all before dinner. Wood Wool. “Wood wool,” a new French in- vention, consisting of extremely thin and slender shavings of wood that are comparable to paper cut for packing, is already in extensive use in France. It has also been found to be well adapted for the manu- facture of mattresses, for the filter- ation of liquids, stuffing horse-collars, etc., the most suitable pieces of wood being selected for each of these uses. Its elasticity causes it to be consider- ed the best material for bedding, after horse-hair. end is, in fact, preferable to any other substance when it is derived from resinous wood, since it does not then absorb moisture. In workshops wood wool is tending to replace cotton waste for cleaning machines, and it has likewise found an application on the rolling-stock of railways for lubricating car-axles.
