A New Dlscoveiy, Rut Not a Patent Medicine. Or. Bcdwcll l elates an interesting account of what ho considers a ie markable cure of acute stomach trou ble and chronic dyspepsia by tho uso of the new dlscoveiy, Ktuatt's Dyspep sia Tablets, He says. "The patient was a man who had suffered to my knowledge for yeatb with dyspepsia.

As an experiment I finally bought a fifty cent package of Stuart's Dynpep bia Tablets at u drug Htotu and gave them to him. Almost immediate r llet was glen and after he hud used four boxes he was to all appeal un-es, fullv cured. Theie was no tnoie ucldltv or sour, wateiy tlslngs, no bloating after meals, the uppetlte was vlgoious and he has gained between 10 and 12 pounds in weight of solid, healthy flesh Although Stuart's Dspepla Tablets ate advertised and sold In diug stolen, !et I consider them a most uluablj addition to any physician's line cf lemcdlcs, as they ate perfectly harm less and containing nothing out fruit and vegetables essences, puie pepsin and Golden Seal. Without nnj question they tie the safest, most effective cuie for indiges tion, biliousness, constipation and all derangements of the stomach, however slight or seveie."

How Mr. Medill came to found the Republican pnrty when he was but .12 years of uge Is a story but little known to the outside world. Shortly utter General Scott's defeat nnd tiefore Senator Douglas' Kansas Nebraska bill had Hot the nbolltlonlsts wild Mr. Medill sat down and wtotp letters to the leaders of the disgruntled and dlsoiganlzed Whig party, asking thtm If they would assist In the for mation of a new Republican pnrty on the ruins of the old Whig organization First of all he wtote to Horace Greely, with whom ho had for some yenrs had n tonslderable Intimacy. He had been a cottcspondent of the New York Tri bune; had visited Mr. Greely In New Yoik (It vvns on the occnsloti ot one of these- visits, over forty yeais, that young westerner who had been Intro ductd by "the chief" to Mr. Dana), and when Mr, Greely in his lecturing tour hnd visited the Western Reserve It was Mr. Medill who hud entertnlhed him. Mr. Greely's reply to Mr. Medill would be a pieelous document, but for the unhappy tlrcumstanio that It was de sttoyed by the great fire In 1871, which consumed the Chicago Tilbunc, to gether with about a thousand letters from ptomlnent men, Including Lin coln and otheis. In Its place Mr. Medill had only such a veislon as his tena cious memory tould supply, but that Is worthy ot repioductlon. Ml. Greelv wrote: "Go ahead with your proposed Re publican paity, my f i lend and God bless you! 1 hope you will have tho best of luck. Th time has Indeed come to bury our beloved party. It Is dead. We have many fool ft lends who Inslbt It Is only In a comatose state and will recover, but I tell them It Is dead' Still I dare not yet In New Yoik an nounce the demise of the party and call for tho reoig.intzattou of a new one. Rut do you go uhend on tho West ern Reserve and commence the work I like the name for It (Republican). 1 was opposed to J. Watson Webb when he changed the name Demociatlc Re publican to Whig; but at that time he had tho public ear. If you can get tho name Rtpubllcan stnrted In the west it will grow In the east. I fully agree to the name and the new christ ening" Some of the other teplles were In teresting. J. Watson Webb clung to the name of Whig. "It was." he said, "u good enough standard. It was the stnndard under which the best battles for liberty hnd been won among English-speaking people. And especially he saw no reason for assuming the name undei which Imperial Rome fell " Thurlow Weed curtly made answer that In his opinion the time had not yet come for the reorganization of th" Whig party. The party had survived defeat before and would survive again "He scolded me," Mr Medill put It, "for running away, and bald the old Whig guard cf New York had no In tention of changing standards." Wil liam II. Steward answered biiefly "Go ahead and try It. The name is a good one." Various teplles came from Mi. Med lll's other lonespondents. Some of them were editors In Pennsylvania and others In the mldwestern states Nearly alt were elcslious of the proposed change, but none of them had the cour age to take part In tho Initiative. A f-w repudiated the, idea altogether. Thus, the editor of the Columbus Jour nal declared the movement was pre mature nnd would kill his paper out right, thp sentiment ot the Whigs in his part of Ohio being wholly oppesed to such "Western Reserve radicalism'" John Depoere. editor of the Indianapo lis Journal, afterward public printer under Lincoln and an Intimate friend of the ptesldent, answered that the Whigs In his state were so blue he did not dare mention Filch a scheme, but ho would talk with Mr. Medill about It later on. Meanwhile, In his Cleveland paper, Mr. Medill kept hammering for a new party organisation. Ho biouglu mat ters so rapidly to a focus that one night In March, 1S31, ho was able to call to a meitlng in Cleveland twenty Whig. Free Soil and Democratic lead ers to whom he could safely propose the Instant organization of a new pnrty. Snlmon P. Chase was one of these twenty men. Mr. Medill, as soon as the meeting was opened, ptoposed that the new party be formed and thnt It be given the name of the Republican party To this name Mr. Chaso vva3 opposed. He asked that the name be Free Democracy. Finally, at midnight, a vote wan taken on the party name, and two-thirds present voted for the title of National Republican paity. Then the platform wasi drafted. It was: "No more slave states,. o more slave territory. Resistance to proslav ery aggression. Slavery is sectional. Liberty Is national." The platform was vviltten In part by Mr. Medill and In part by Rufus Spalding. The last two causes were by John C. Vaughan. This work was all done In the editorial room of Mr. Medill in tho Cleveland Leader s of tlco. Finerty's Sermon, rrom Llpplncott's Magazine. Before ex-Itepresentatlvo John rinerty became famous as tho great American Urltlsh-llon-tall-twlster he was ono of the best reporters in Chicago. lie vvus on tho Tribune, and one day a certain city editor (best known to fame as tho man viho always wore a stiaw hut and smoked a corn-cob pipe) decided that Mr I'lnerty should be disciplined. It was Saturduj, and somo time after midnight Mr. rinert.v was absigned to repot t tho morning ter tnon of an obscure minister vvaj down on tho south side. I'lnerty was thn senior, nnd his associates were thunder struck. They expected nn explosion, at least, but rinerty icmalned calm and dignified, althnueh a tilde pale "Then he will leslgn," they thuught, but rin erty walked out and made no sign To the surpilse of eveiy one he rtported thn next ilaj, as usual, and turned In an ab stract of the sermon. Every one read It on Monday morning, and It was certulnlj an eloquent and carefully ic-porti'd ser mon That afternoon a man of tin leal cut called on the city editor and asked lo see thu oung mun who bad reported his sermon the morning before Mt I'ln erty was Introduced The man uf the elirleal cut would like to see Mr riner'y alone for a few moments. Out In the hallway ho asked, "Of course jou weie not at my church yesterduy morning?" "No," leplted Klnulj "Well, I simply stopped to thank von for the setmon.
