dilfwainver ten years that Mr. Browne
became the local editor of this paper (being,
his'first etperienbe as.a writer for the pub
lici),'add *dinned as such fbr porno years,
When ):0 3. 8 1 $ 1 1 1 1 1 itied a position on the Cleve
land Plobukaler, and afterwards wrote for
the Virity Fair, since which time he has
beetlengagedexclusively in traveling and
ltsltttrin
g. It is a fact that Mr. Browne was
at one time a 'jour printer,' and probably
a strapped' one. He was a compositor on
the Commercial before becoming its local
editor, and it was while thus employed that
he began to develope the peculiar talent as
a writer which gave him a national, and
has now given him a world-wide reputa
tion."—Toledo Cbrnmerciat.
It is true that Mr. Browne first essayed
humorous writing on the Toledo Com
mercial, but his talent In that line was
developed, and first attracted public
attention, on the Plaindealer. While
working as a" jour" on the Commercial,
his sense of the ludicrous was one day
strongly excited by some funny occur
rence that he saw in the street, and a
humorous account of it was the result.
The sketch was left on the editor's desk,
and pleased him so much that 'Mr.
Browne was taken from the printing
office, and installed in a more congenial
position in the Sanctum. Although his
first regular press writing was done on
the Toledo paper, he had previously
contributed some humorous squibs to
Mr. Shellabar's (Mrs. Partington) Car
pet Bag, upon which paper he worked
for a time.
Mr. Browne commenced writing for
the Plaindealer in the summer of 'sB—
J. W. Gray being then proprietor.
His limitless humor confined itself to no
special subject, for a number of months,
but was constantly "cropping out," in
all sorts of quaint sayings and juicy pa
ragraphs. He finally concluded to givo
his writing more individuality by adopt
ing a nom de plume. Hence the famous ,
letters from Artemus Ward," show
man. These letters, first merely writ
ten for the purpose of " filling up,"
when "copy" was scarce, sprang al
most immediately Into wide spread no
toriety. The first one appeared in the
fall of '5B. Here it is :
To the Editor of the Plain Dealer, Sin:—
r m moving along—slowly along—down
boards your place. I want you should
write me a letter; suyin how's the show
buziniss in your place. My show at present
consists- of three moral Bears, a Kangaroo,
(a amoozin little Rti,skal—'twould make

shingg
ton Gen. Taylor, John Bunyan, Dr. Kidd
and Dr. Webster in the act of klllin Dr.
Turkmen, besides several miscellunyus
moral wax stuttoots of celebrated piruts
and murderers, ekalled by few, and
exceld by none. Now, Mr. Editor, scratch
off tr few lines mayin how is theshow bizuiss

temperance community, tell 'em I signed
the pledge fifteen ninths utter ise born. But
on the contrary, if your people take their
lode, say that Mister Ward is as genial a
feller as we ever met—full of couwiviality,
and the life and sole of the soshul Bored.
Take, don't you? If you say anything
'bout my show, say my snits is as harm
less as the new born babe. What a inter

Respectfully yours,
A. WARD.
Y. S.—You scratch my hack and Ile
scratch your back.
Mr. Browne worked on the Plain
dealer for over two years, at the eud of
which time he enjoyed a national repu-
tution ; his letters in this paper having
been copied with avidity far and wide—
even in Europe. In the winter of IS6O,
we believe, he accepted an offer from
Vanity Fair, and went to New York to
take a leading position on that paper.
He was there but a few months, when
he commenced his career as a lecturer,
which has been attended by such
uniform and perfect success, and which
is so familiar to our readers.

UID OA TA RRH REM RD)
The symptoms of Catarrh are at first very
slight. Persons finding they have a cold, that
they have frequent attacks, and are more nen
s:tive to the changes of temperature. In this
condition the nose may be dry, or a slight die
charge, thin and acrid, afterwards thick and
adhesive, may ensue.
As the disease becomes chronic, the discharges
are increased In quantity and changed In
quality; they are now thick and heavy, nud
are hawked or coughed off. The secretions are
offensive, causing abad breath the voice thick
and nasal; the eyes are weak; the sense o
smell Is lessened or destruyed ; deafness fre
qnently takes place.
Another common and Important sympton
of Catarrh is, that the person is obliged to
clear his throat in the morning of a slick or
slimy mucous, which has fallen from the head
during the night. When this takes place, the
per-on may be sure that this disease Is on its
way to the lungs, and should logo no time in
arresting it.

symptoms. Write to our Laboratory for our

AN INTERESTING QUESTION
What class of people will be most susceptible
to attacks from Cholera?
Evidently those affected with any disease of
the stomach, liver, or any of the organs apper
taining to digestion. This class of persons un
doubtedly will be more liable to contract this
disease than those possessed of strong and
healthy digestive organs.
The question then naturally arises, how
shall we restore and keep those organs in a
healthy and normal condition ? We answer,
by attention to diet, avoiding all undue excite
ment, using moderate exercise, avoiding all
intoxicating drinks, no matter in what form
presented, and by the use, according to direc
tions, of the great strengthening tonic,

This Bitters is a compoued of fluid extracts
The roots said herbs from which it Is made are
gathered lu tienuany, and their virtues, in the

country affords. It Is
NOT A LIQUOR PREPARATION
In any sense of UM word; contains uo whisky,
ruin or any other intoxicating ingredients, and
can treely used in families without any fear
or risk of those using It contracting the dis
ease or vice of intemperance. We wish this
fact distinctly understood, as many are apt to
confound this Bitters with the many others
