Additional Local News.
The following from the Erie
Dispatch speaks the sentiments of
a great many Pennsylvania Repub
licans: Congressman Charles W.
Stone, it is reported, is likely to be
a candidate for United States Sena
tor. As Mr. Quay some time ago
announced that ho would retire
from politics and would not again
be a candidate for Senator, of
course he is 110 longer to be looked
upon as a factor, which should
leave the northwestern part of the
state, at least, quite free for Mr.
Stone. But whatever the campaign
may develop, Mr. Stone ought to
be a strong candidate for the Sena
torship. With an extended Con
gressional experience, a liberal
education in public affairs, high
abilities as a speaker and debater,
and of sterling character, his can
didacy ought <0 stir up an enthusi
asm calculated to make him one of
the most popular candidates Penn
sylvania can offer.

MUCH TALK.
Informal Receipt.
Uneducated peoplo sometimes have a
happy knack in coming to the point.
Here, for example, is a story from the
Boston Herald:
Dan and Mose, neither of them noted
for erudition, wero partners in an enter
prise which it is needless to specify.
One morning a customer called to settle
a small bill and after handing over tho
money asked for a receipt.
Moso retired to the privacy of au
inner room and after a long delay re
turned with a slip of paper, on which
were written these words:
"We've got our pay. Mo and Dan."
A Chestnut.
Ralph Waldo Emerson ouco told a
good story of a friend who always car
ried in his pocket a horse chestnut as a
protection against rheumatism, just the
same as other peoplo wear shields and
other specifics. Emerson thus testifies
to tho results in his friend's ease: "Ho
has never had the rheumatism since ho
began to carry it, and indeed it appears
to have had a retrospective operation—
for ho never had it before."
A Clever Trick.
It certainly looks like it, but there is
really 110 trick about it. Anybody can
try it who has lame back and weak
kidneys, malaria or nervous troubles.
We mean he can cure himself right
away by taking Electric Bitters. This
medicine tones up tho whole system,
acts as a stimulant to liver and kid
neys, is a blood purifier and nerve
tonic. It cures constipation, headache,
fainting spells, sleeplessness and mel
ancholy. it is purely vegetable, a mild
laxative and restores the system to its
natural vigor. Try Electric Bitters and
be convinced that they are a miracle
worker. Every bottle guaranteed.

CHINESE MEDICAL SCIENCE.
flan Not Improved Any Since tlie Time of
Confucian.
Chinese surgeons should delight the
heart of the American surgeon who is
wedded to tho "ethics" of his profession.
One of them wits called to attend a patient
who had been hit with an arrow, which
was sticking in the wound when the sur
geon arrived. That gentleman tried to pull
it out, but succeeded only in breaking it
off, leaving the point in his patient's in
terior. Then the surgeon declined to do
anything more, saying that all ailmei.ts
of the inner body were in the field of phy
sicians and not of surgeons, and he stuck
to it.
The Chinese physician does not know
enough to give him a headache. He has
no curiosity and never peers into the inner
life of a subject. He is content to practice
medicine as his predecessors did, and in
his science tho liver still is the seat of the
soul, as it was in the days of Confucius.
Therefore, from tho liver come all the no
ble and generous sentiments that make life
worth living, and no self respecting sur
geon or physician would probe this seat of
mystery rudely.
Ideas of pleasure have their origin in
the pit of the stomach. Naturally it would
be impious to prod that place with knives,
bo stomach troubles are treated with in
cantations. The gall bladder is the place
where a man keeps his courage, and tho
head is a solid bone.
These remarkable teachings havo been
handed down through generations, and
tho number of Chinese books on mcdieirc
is astounding, but each book contents
itself with repeating tho things that tho
first Chinaman discovered, so they do not
shed much light. Lancing is tho favored
and, indeed, almost the only operation. A
Chinaman thinks that he cannot get to
heaven if his body is mutilated, and he
will not let a surgeon cut pff even a little
finger if ho can help it.
The Chinese are not tho only people who
object to amputation through religious
scruples. Turks will endure anything
rather than to be barred from paradise,
which they know will happen if they ar
rive at the gates in a cut up condition. In
Burma a king died recently because he
would not allow the touch of a surgical
instrument to pollute his royal body.—
New York Press.
A CONFEDERATE CRUISER.
The Amount Captured by One I'rlvateer In
Kiglit MonttiH.
Just what one little privateercan do has
been revealed by tho short career of tho
Confederate cruiser Shenandoah. She was
actually cruising for tho destruction of
Union property but eight months, and
during thai, time sho captured and de
stroyed vessels to the value of $1,200,000,
and the United States had never been able
to direct a blow against her. Sho had vis
ited every ocean except tho Antarctic, cov
ering a distance of 58,000 statute miles.
She destroyed many whalers in tho Arctic
ocean. It was there that the last gun for
the southern cause was fired. It was fired
from the deck of tho privateer cruiser
Shenandoah by Commander James Iredell
Waddell on June 22, 1805, just 71 days
after tho surrender of Leo at Appomattox.
Commander Waddell could not persuade
himself to enter ;m American port and for
some time aimlessly scoured the seas. In
August, however, he spoke tho English
ship Barracoota, bound from Fran
cisco to Liverpool, and from her received
conclusive evidence of the end of the war
between the states. lie resolved to seek
an English port, and so on Nov. 5 tho
Shenandoah entered St. George's channel,
having sailed 22,000 miles without seeing
land. On Nov. 0 sho steamed up tho
Mersey, and tho Confederate tlag having
been hauled down by Commander Wad
dell, ho sent a communication to Earl Rus
sell, English minister of foreign affairs,
placing his ship at tho disposal of tho Brit
ish government. Through Earl Russell
tho vessel was transferred to tho jurisdic
tion of tho American minister, Charles
Francis Adams, who caused her to bo con
veyed to this country to he dismantled.—
Altanta Constitution.
Mr. Hrewgter'* Reply.
The late Benjamin H. Brewster, Presi
dent Arthur's attorney general, whose face
was terribly disfigured by scars, was onco
engaged in aease as attorney for tho Penn
sylvania railroad, and the opposing coun
sel in his closing speech made a most bru
tal attack on him. "The dealings of the
railroad," ho said, "aro as tortuous and
twisted as the features of tho man who
represented it."
Mr. Brewster gave no outward sign
that ho felt this cruel blow until he had
finished his argument. Then ho said:
"For tho first time in my life tho per
sonal defect from which I suffer has been
tho subject of public remark. I will tell
you how I came by it. When I was 5 years
of age, I was one day playing with a
younger sister when she fell into an open
grate where <i fire was burning. I sprang
to her assistance, dragged her from dan
ger, and in doing so I fell myself, with my
face upon the burning coals. When I was
picked up, my face was as black"—and
his finger transfixed his antagonist—"as
that man's heart."—San Francisco Argo
naut.
Warts.
These aro better left alone than treated
injudiciously. They may be safely and
certainly cured by keeping them constant
ly damp with rag dipped in vinegar, then
slicing them off thinly day by day and ap
plying powdered alum to the fresh surface
Another plan is to touch them every sec
ond day or so with tho pointed end of a
slato pencil or match dipped in ncetic, gla
cial acetic, muriatic, nitric or sulphuric
acid or a mixture of chromic acid, one part
to four parts water, daily. All these de
mand great cure. A safer though slower
process is to moisten each wart with adroj
of water or tho tip of the tongue, then
well rub it with lunar caustic. Next day
or in two days carefully remove the black
surface with a knife, repeating the caustic,
and so on as may be necessary.—New
York Ledger.
Cuba.
Cuba is known in history under several
names. The first was Antilla; then Ju
ana, after a Spanish prince. Fernandina
came third, followed by Santiago and the
fslo of Ave Maria. Tho original Indian
name, Cubanacan, signifying "where gold
is found," was finally adopted, and usage
shortened it to the first two syllables.
A clever mot was mado by a member of
parliament during another member's prusy
speech. The latter happening to yawn
during his remarks, the other commented,
"This man is not without taste, but he
usurps our privilege."
Australia could be made to support 400,-
000,000 inhabitants of the black or yellow
races, who would bo able to endure the
climate. . .
