His complexion is rough and is nose has not the smooth, velvety appearance of that of Blaine 1t has, however, great strength, and it is o #liort Roman in shape, Arthur had a sized nose, and the great big nose of Abe Lincoln has become historic. John Tyler had an immenso proboscis, and Andrew Jackson had one of the biggest and one of the handsomest amons the presidents, He is ong of the two presidents who had their noscs pulled while they were here. He was on o Potomac boat going down the river and had stopped at Alexandrin when a man rushed in and grabbed him by the nose and gave it a torri- ble pull. - Old Hickory raised bis cane, but before he could get at the he had cs caped. This man wgs a lieutenant in the navy who had been disgraced and who con- sidéred the president the cause of his trouble. James K.

Itis a big nose and a rollicking nose. It shows, steengtl ond. good nature and it fairly dances between Sccretary Rusk's blue eyes when he tells one of his stories. Wanamaker bas a fat nose, very thick at the mostrils but it is strong and clean-cut and it bears tho lines of exceutive ability. It is the nose of a financier, and it has been worth millions to the postmaster general. It would make a better nose for the sccretary of the treasury than that of Windom and it is, with the ex- ception of Blaine's, the best nose in Harri- binet. Windom's nose is short and It looks as though it micht have no bone in it and it does not indicate the strength that the man really possesses. The noses of Noble, Tracy and Proctor are very clinary noses—good enough and big enough “Bat indleative of nothing in partie They show their owners to beevenly bal anced men, but they do notat first glance im press you.

It sets oft lus classic fes tures aud mukes his pale face almost noble as it stands out fu frout of his leonine gray hair above his fievrce silver mustache and over s toga-like black gown. Field has a nose that might have been transplanted from ancient 0, It is straight, large and full, with scholarly lines about its sensitive nostrils, and it indicates at its owner is o thinker and a scholar. Judge Blatehford's nose is another scholarly one, and T can never look at Bradley's clean- cut beak without thinking of figures. The great mathematician and the graat jurist is written all over it, and it is so big that it seems to be running away with the face, Judge Hurlan has a face that would do for a model of Jove, and his nose is that of a god. Itis a nose that seulptors would rave over, and iv has that delicate rosy hue of Judge Hitlan's complexion, which corresponds with the best efforts of Rubens in color, It is one of the strong noses in Washington, and it comesout in flue contrast with the weak fleshy nose of Justice Gray, whom nature modeled on her grandest plan with this one exception. Gray is considered a great judge, ut he is somewhat of asnob and his nose is @snub. It is the smallest nose on the bench, aud Judge Brewer's nose WOULD MAKE TWO OF 1T, it judges of the past have all had big noses, and Justice Marshall, when hewas at the head of the court, callea attention tohis Roman nose by the habit of snufin Qne day Henry Clay, who had o nose as big &8 your fist, was making a specch before him, and as ho'saw the chief justice take up a pinch of the titillating powder he could not st the inclination to do the sume, and he stopped bis argument, walked up tothe bench ll asked for a pinch of snuff.

I doubt not that some of the judges snuff today, and there ar & half dozen senators who suck tobacco into their nostrils and say they profer the habit to chowing or smoking. Senator Thurman is a reat snuffer, and he has a fine- nose for it. arris suuffs, and 1 am told that George of Mississippi prefers his Maccaboy to his din- ner. ‘The governwent buys snuff for its sen- ators, and the sevgeant-at-arms always has a bottle or 8o of the best makes on hand 1saw a nose last night that must have cost at least $10,000 in its coloring alone, It was fastened above the mouth of one of the most noted diners-out of Washington society and it shows what weu can doas to the making of their noses, The nose of the high liver is meal, nd this man is noted for his love of terrapin and champagne, He has held a high rank in the army of the United States ana he has one of the biggest heads and the most beautiful silver bair in Washington, His nose, how- ever is & wonder, It is fat, large and bluish ad. It looks like a rose colored pin cushion, B you can read champague, chartreuse and bourbon all over it. It is so vrominent deed that its owner, who is one of tho jol- licst fellows of Washington, was thought' to bo wearing it as a mask at a fancy ball of a 2ar or two ago. He here met a charming Young lady who was making ber debut at the Ccapital that séason and who pleased him ver mwuch, She wore a mask and she chatted co- | quottishly with him from behind it To- wards the end of the evening he asked her unmask.

He has a ve markably sensitive nose, and physiogn omists would call the nostrils fretful and irritable, Itis a judicial noe, and a_legal nose, and when it smells at the law it s It brings in its owner many a it bas made him one of the rich statesmen of astate which runs more to braius than to money As 10 n noses, however, there are a dozen in the senate chamber which would bring gold galore if their owners were in the hands of brigar Senator Sherman made a trip to Cuba a few years ago, and while there hie came within ‘an ace of heing captured by the bandittiand held for ransom, His nose is strong one, and I don't suppose he would say it was worth §500,000 to him, but had they caught him and with razor in hand, told bim _that they would slice that nose off into picces the size of Saratoga po- tato chips, I imagine they would have gotten their money, Look at that noseof Senator Stanford, You could put it in a wine glass, but Stanford would not sell it for §0,000,000, and the same is true of the long, thin'smeller of Senator Hearst. The noses of these two movey-mukers are entirely different. Stan- ford's is fat, with large nostyils. Hearst's is secretive and thin, and it is said to be the best nose for mies in the country. It is not, however, the nose of a statesman, and it has not the pugnacit he eruelty of that nose which sits above the snow-white colarand the red necktie of John J. Ingalls and defies the world, the flesh and the devil. There is afighting nose for you! That nose might be toe nose of a pivate, It might be the nose of areformer, of a great writer or a poct. It is the mnose of * and a genius, 1t is thin and sensitive andat the same time strong, It has all of the Homan aggres- siveness combined with ail the Greek —inte lectuality, and its sensitive nostrils ae those of a patrician, Itis the great and only nose of the great and ouly Ingalis, and it is a nose which some scvators L know would Low between those r Roman curve t LIKE TO PULL, BUT DARE NOT. Another fighting nose, but one of o diffe eut muke, is thatof Senator Vest, It smaller thin that of Ingalls, and as it trots around the senate in front of Vest's cheeks aud between his pugnacious eyes, it makes me think of the bud man from " Bitter creck, who walked around with a chip on his shoulder yelling that hewas a terror aud he could whip any blanked man in the house. Vest likes to fight as well as ho does Heis a man of remarkable ability, hind his pugnacious nose he good-natured scul, If he thi stepped upou, however, his nostrils begin to dilate, his shoulders droop more than cver, his hend jumps an inch further out from nis shoulders ana his enemies need to look out. Gorman has aclassic nose. It is wre, straight, and Grecian, and it looks very much like nose of Senator Gray, save that it shows more power. Senator Cock rel's nose is long and thin, It isa typical American nose and Cockrell keeps it well down on the grindstone of senatorial hard work. I seldom get a fair look at it from the nress gallery as he is always bending over his pers, and. Cockrell scems to work from morning till vight. Next to him sits Senator Coke who has @ magnificent nose but who seems to do little eise than polish it; and back of him is Senator George, who has'a fat shapeless proboscis which will not hold pese- tacles and upon the end of which & pairdog gold glasses usually rides. Senator Carlisel has what is called ks his corns are THE INQUISITIVE NOSE. It looks as if itwere cut out by nature’s chis- el but left jn the rough. it ruus straight from the forchead foran inch towards the mouth at tne proper angle for the correct nose, and bere breaks off it a kind of a but- ton ending in rather sensitive nostrils, 1t1s a curious mnose and we all kuow that it is the mnoso of a statesman, Senator Reagan's _ nose is fat and bunchy and that of Vauce is one of the best- natured, ali-around noses in the chamber, I would rather live behind Vauce's nose than behind that of any other democratic se It has all tho lines of good nature and good fellowship aud like coutentment, it is better than great riches, One of the most remarka; senate is that_of Senator 1 beaks udvisedly, fa beaks in tho arts.

It is big and strong and it makes prouounced curves as it stands well out from one of the strongest_and one of the wost homely faces in the United States senate. 1t is the king nose of the republican side of the chamber and it _is a good natured nose as well s a big one. It is a deliberate nose and_all of the lines about it indicate couservative thought. 1tis a nose capable of judging good ainuer and_the nostrils are those of a gastronome, It has smelled by rels of terrapin and has felt the effervescing gases of oceans of champagne, Stillthere is not ablotch nor a stain upon it and 1t shows that its ewner with all his love for wood living is cither a Spartan or is possessed of a remarkable stomach, ator Cullom has a LONG IGI-SHOULDERED NOS.

It has not, however, the strength of Lincoln’s nose and iv is lonwer_than it is large, IFrank Hiscock of New York has a fat, well-mado nose, the nostrils of which show out over thick lips and are rather cou- ceited in their outlines, aud it is the nose of man who estimates bimself as highly as he is worth, It is rather @ snceriug nose it don’t strike me as an aristocratic nose. stands out in strong coutrast, as I o that of SenatorSawyer who, short and portly, has one of the best busicess noses in the senate. Every line in Sawyer's proboscis is strong. It comes out from the eyes with a promuent curve and goes down towards the mouth as though it meant business. 1t does mean business, too, for Sawyer, quict as_he is, is one of the ablest men in the chamber, He made a big fortune and he bas made a good business senator. -He moves arouud quietly but he ‘‘gets there just the same.” Among the hundreds of noses in the house you will find all kinds, all sizes, all shapes, IcKinley has o handsome nose, inclined to the Romun, It is conservative and thought- ful, and its owner docs not like to be told that it looks like the nose of Napoleon, It is broud at the top has a spectacle bridge at the es, and it droops just enouxh as it comes down to make it serious and thoughtful. It is a watchful nose aud it is a nose that works for McKinley and works to win. It is a far finer probiscis than that of Tom Reed and Reed's nose is oue of the exceptions wh proves the rule that all great men have bi noses. Keed's nose is not more than an inch long. It is a lump of faton a great, big, rouud face and its most remarkable featur is its distended nostrils, Taken, however, in connection with Reed's face it makes you feel that the man has more power than a first glance would give him cvedit for and as you hear his squeaking, Yankee voice, fil- tered through it, you soon' know that this in- siguificant nose Is that of a genius and giant.

The following reminiscences of the rebel- contributed by a geutleman who wa n a private in one of the first companies raised inrespouse to President Lincolu's call for troops Almost thirty years have passed away ice the commencement of the stupendous coutest when the north and th like gladiators for ths mastery. And yet the scenes and incidents, the personal expe fences of that time are more vividly in pressed upon my mind than anything that has happened since then, however recent. The Sixteenth regiment Illinos voluuteer infantry was composed of companies that had voluntecred iinmediately after the firing upon Fort Sumpter and the president's call for 75,000 men for three months. But the quota for llinois was so quickly fllled that not one-half of the companies that offered thomemselves could be accepted. Governor Yates, forseeing the necessity of another call very soon, induced thoe legislature to pass the famous ten regiment bill, authorizing bim to accept the surplus offered, and they were ac- cordingly accepted by the state aud ordered into camp in various portions of tho state. The companies composing the Sixteenth were raised in the counties of Adams, Pike, Hancock, Schuyler, McDonough, and, I think, Warren, They went into camp at Quency, 1L, where the regiment was orean- ized, and our captain, Robert F. Smith, was elected colonel, and Captain Hays of com- pany K, major. Ours was company D. We were mustered into the state service, under the ten regiment bill, May 9, 1561. and into the service of the United states for threo years, on May 24, by Captain Pope of the regular army, afterwards General Pope, Company D, to which I belonged, was raised in Hancock county, principally from the towns of Carthuge and Hamilton, although Fountain Green and Lea-Harpe furnished a small quota. This company was one of the best companies ever organized. Most of its mem- bers were of the best class of men, mental and physically. They were well driiled in company drill, having all served in the republican “Wide Awakes” or the dom- ocratic *‘Hickory Clubs” of the presidential campaign of the previous year. Men of al- most all trades and professions were found in its ranks, and during the war whenever an emergency arose requiring the serviees of o civil engncer or a mechanical engineer, bridge builder, telegraph operator, or any- thing else, men' could alw: found in the Sixteenth regriment and_almost always in the anks of Company D, who could fill the bi We remained in camp at Qui for sev. eral days after muster, before we were sup- plicd with arms and ammunition. Then, Jout June 1, we were sent into active ser- ice, into Missouri, along the line of the Haunnibal & St. Joe railroad. This was at that time, and until after the close of the var, the only railroad in the United States t extended so far westward. On this account it was of the utmost impor the government as a means of speed munication with the vast western frontier and as it ran through a country then hostile to the government and friendly to the con- fedexacy. it became @ matter of strategical fmportance also, for it was the settled poli of the confederacy at Richmond and of tne confederates in Missouri to destroy 1t, and of the government at Washington to protect it and keepit open as a means of transporta- tisn for troops and supplies to the western frontier. The company who owned the road, as well as its manucers ana employes, were union men, as were also many of the citizens along its line, but these were so terrorized by tho slaveholders and rebel element, whicli pre- dominated, that they dared not say a word or lift a finger in opposition to them. The reb- els had torn up the track in many places, burned some of the bridges and stopped the operation of the road, except as they per- mitted it to be used for their own military purposes. They had also taken possession of the railroad foundries and machine shops at Hannibal, were casting cannon, and had be- gun to erect fortifications on the heights at the left of the landing, with the purpose of closing the navigation of the Mississiapi river at that poiut, Such was the condition of affairs in north- ern Missousi, when the govornment ordered the Sixteenth regiment, Illinois volunteers, to take a hand in affairs the We were embarked on steamboats which fioated down ver one dark and rainy night early in Part of the regiment were landed al miles above Hannibal. These were to march through the now deserted streets and flank the machine shops occupied by the rebe! 1d the remainder of the regiment were taken by the steamboat to the landing at the lower part of town, close to the ma- chine shops. Of curse the movements were executed as silently as possible and the first intimation the sleepy rebels had of our approach, when the the boat touched the wharf in front of their quarters and the troops rushed ashore with shouts and cheers, which were answered by the companies approaching through the town, The rcbels beat a hasty retreat, leaving overything benind them, including their drumms, and we took possession of their quar- ters, together with the town and the heights they had begun to fortify. The railroad offi- cials and employes now came forward and took possession of their property, and by daylight two trains were in readiness to start out on the road. Oue was a freight carrying railroad material, such as ties, iron, bridge timber, ete,, besides a large forco of work- men to repair damages on the road, and the other was a passenger train to carry five companies of the troops, and followed "close bebind the repair train, Our regimental flag, which had been pre- sented to the iment by the ladies of Quincy, floated above our train, and at every village and hamlet along the route the rebel flag ‘was seen flying from the top of a long pole. At each village or station where this was _seen the train would stop loug enough for the boys to cut_down the pole and drag the rebel emblem through the dust of Jthe street, The rebel element of the town invar- fably fled to the woods, while the loyal citi- zens welcomed our coming with tears and blessings. All day we rods westward towards St. Joseph, but we made slow progress, being obliged to' stop frequently and wait for the laborers to repair some damage to the track. Finally we arrived at Grand river bridge, which had been destroyed, aud there we en- campea for the night and stayed while the workmen rebuilt the bridge, Thus within twenty-four hours had the line been wrested from the possession of the bels and reopened for about two-thirds the distance from Hannibal to St, Joseph. But we had to do a deal of hard work, make many a long forced march, and do & good deal’ot fighting, in order to keep this thor- ough fare open during the summer of 156 Grand river bridge was soon rebuilt and the line opened from Hanunibal to St. Joseph. Then the regiment was scattered by com- pames at different points along the line, and moved from place to place, as cir- cumstances and threatened hostilities re quired. Finally Companies D Fand K found themselves at Palmyra, from which point @ were ordered up the road to Macon, We boarded a train of freight cars at about 5 p. m. one hot day in June and went steaming up the road. The cars were box cars, such as were then used to ship cattle, but the were clean and well littered with cléan straw. Thoy were boxed all around except the upper part of the sides, which were open to admit air, as were also'the doors, A part of each company ehimbed on top of the cars, vrefer- ring to ride there on account of the heat. We were not expecting an attack, and each oue disposed himself as comfortably as cir- cumstances would permit. 1 was sitting in one corner of a car with my back against the side, when suddenly we became con- scious of what seemed to be a lively fusilade outside. The roar of the train partially drowned the noise at first, so that outh closed | | it was several seconds beforo we could make out what it was, but them the boys on top be- gan firing, and wo knew we were sttacked by bushwhackers. Instantly the boys inside sprang to their feot and began firing from the open spaces and doors, into u line of bushes that skirted the track on one side, and & cornfield beyond, from which issued a lively stream of fire di- rected on the train. 1 watched, ready to fire the moment I saw an enemy to fire at, but I could see nothing but puffs of smoke coming from the corn field, which was only a little over waist high, The bovs at my side were loading and firing at random as fast as they could 1nto the corn field and bushes, Suddenly 1 saw a tail form rise up from the corn field in front of me in the act of leveling a heavy double-barreled shotgun. I was a good snap shot i those days, and ) finstantly fired at him. As T'sprang to my feet and turned around to et a chance to firc upon the enemy, ap. | pened to look Gown where I had bech sitting At the same instant I saw a tole made the through the side of the car, directly whe my back had been leaning gainst it. This | hole was made by a largo bullet which camo with such foree t it went through voth sides of the car. What became of him 1 _do | not know for 1 stepped back to reload, but one of the boys at my side said he saw his gun drop and also the man himsclf, Just then Colonel Smith camo walking | alongside the train and said: “Jump off, fix bayonets and go_at them.” But tho bush- whackers not relishing & close acquuintance with cold steel broke cover wnd fled, Those of us who had our guns loaded could not re- sist the temptation of unloadmg them at their expense. We chased them through the corn tield, but they had the start and were re- markably fleet of foov and they arrived where their horses were hitched first and when we got through the fleld they were mounted and muking good time away from that vieinity, while we gave them a liberal volley purt- ing salut The train whistled the signal for our re- turn, and on our way back we came across quite a number of dead and badly wounded guerrillas, but we had no time to render them any assistance, and left them for their friends fo find and caro for. The sun was setting, and as it was dangerous traveling on this road after nightfall the colonel was anxious to get us to Macon City as soon as ossible, As we boarded the train we earned that Corporal George O. Felt of company D was killed, Sergeant Dickinson mortully wonnded, Privates Caruthers badly and Blain_shghtly wounded. . Company I d several men wounded, but noneof com- ny K were hurt Considering the number of the guerrillas, r advantago and the number of shots fired at us, it seemed a miracle that our loss was so slight, They had evidently expected to capture and destroy the t s ral Is were torn up a little ahead of us. We were soon ready to go ahead agmmn, and ar- rived at Macon beforo midnight without being again “bushwhacked.” This wus our first sericus skirmish and the first loss of blood and life of the Sixteenth regiment and company D, e, 1 have used your Salvation Oil for cracked heels, mange, and sand cracks with horses, and it gives perfect satisfaction Cias, W, Ler, 414 W.

Nine cases out of ten a bad breath is caused by decayed teeth. These cava=- ties of decay form recepticles for the aceumulation of food which becomes decomposed, hence the offensive odor. One de-ayed tooth will often make the breath almost unbearable to those with whom you converse, It being a sensitive subject to mention be- tween friends frequently one goesin ignorance of how offen- sive their breath may be. Thisis not all. The decomposed matter ina cavity of decay is constantly being swallowed and is frequently the cause of diseases of th s stomach, which in many cases bring on other complicated diseases of the general system. Howimportant it should be then, to keep your mouth in a clean and healthy state, forso much of yourhealth, comfort and happiness depend upon it. Visit DR.
