GENERAL BARNETTS STORY. How One Oood Vote was Lost and Saved. General Baruett tells a good story concerning Colonel Charlie Cotter, of Ravenna, a life-long adherent of Bour don democracy—a roaring, ranting, thick and thin devotee of anything and everything his party may see fit to do or to say. On election day the Colonel noticed that a friend of his failed to put iu an appearance at the polls. So he mounted his buggy and went to fetch him from his home, three miles away. Arrived there, he found his man busy stirring a huge kettle of apple butter. Makiug known his errand, the Colonel was met with objections on the part of the housewife. Her man could not tro. The apple butter must be constantly stirred or spoiled by burning. In vain the Colonel expended his eloquence urged duty, patriotism, the urgent need of every vote, country, party, all and every consideration were idle words to the good women whose apple butter was at risk. It must be stirred, and the voter must stir it, if the party and the country went to the eternal bow wows. Finally, in desperation, the Colonel proposed that the man should take his buggy, go and vote and hurry back, and he himself would supply his place at the apple butter kettle. So long as the apple butter was cared for the good wife was indifferent as to the stirring; the voter went off and the Colonel took bis place. On the way to the polls the voter fell in with some German friends who entertained him royally, and had little difficulty in per euadiDg him to vote the straight repub lican ticket. Then came another good time. Finally, after the lapse of about four hours, the voter got back home with the buggy. Meanwhile the Colo nel had grown aoxious. What if those confounded Dutch republicans had sto len his voter. The thought was tor ture, but the Argus eye of the good wo man was upon him, ond he could not leave his self-imposed tasi. He sat and sweated and swore as he stirred the boiling mass, ever wondering when would his man return. Finally, he came, and the Colonel hastened back to Ravenna to find that be bad lost near ly half the day stirring apple butter that one more vote should be polled for the republican ticket. But he is a bold man who dares say apple butter within striking distance of this "stirr ing" electioneer. THE SLEEP DISEASE. M. Talmy has presented a note to the French Academy in which he calls attention to the analogy which exists between "sleep disease" and chicken cholera. The sleep disease ( nelavan) is a rare affection, which, up to ti e present time, has been met with only among the negroes of the west coast of Africa. It was first made known by English phpsicians in 1810, but was not accurately observed till many years afterward (18U5 et seq.) by the French physicians, Daugaix, Nicolas, Guerin, and very recently by Corre. In this curious affection the person attacked keeps his eyes half closed, as if he was unable to open them wide, and is frequently siezed with a pro found desire to sleep. Later on he sleeps continuously, and has to be awakened to take nourishment—which he does with pleasure if be is awakened sufficiently. Death approaches very gradually but surely, and the victim passes away at length without suffer ing any pain. This disease is always fatal, no cure yet being known lor it. From the symptoms as given by the above-mentioned pbysiciaus, and iroin the Bymptoms of chicken cholera as studied by Moritz, Perroucito, Tous saint, and more recently by Pasteur, M. Talmy believes that the two dis eases are of a similar character, and both due to a like cause. A correspondent writing from Rich mood, Va., wants to know if it is the custom of rats to tie up their oifspring by their tails. He lately touud "iour young rats, each one neatly tied around the left hind let? with his own or his Bister's or brother's tail, and all tied together at a common cen ter and neatly interwoven, on a tabric of downy feathers which composed their nest." An Army of Jfostmasters. WASHINGTON, October 28. —The an nual report of the appointment divis ion of the Post Office Department for the last fiscal year was completed to day. It shows that the number of post offices in operation in the United States on the 30th of June last was 42,989, an increace of 2,134 during the year. 1,761 of the postmasters are ap pointees of the President. The remain ing 41,228 offices are filled by appoint ments of the Postmaster General. Be sides the nearly 43,000 postmasters there are 17,460 persons throughout the country who perform service and recieve compensation upon the written authorization of the Postmaster Gene ral or his chief assistents, comprising 419 in the Post Office Department at Washington, 5,519 clerks in post offices of the first and secoad classes, 2,688 letter-carriers, 56 special agents, 2,946 employes of the railway mail service and, 8562 mail contractors. In addi tion to the post office clerks above reckoned, for whose employment al lowances are made to Presidential postmasters of the first and second grades, it is estimated at the depart ment that there are at least 50,000 persons acting as clerks in the third and fourth-class post offices who look for their employment and compensa tion directly to the authority, and it is believed, therefore, thut there are now not less than 110,000 persons di rectly connected with our postal ser vice. A young man on Main street says he is going to attempt the feat of going forty days without working. He says if bis employers do not watch him, he thinks he can accomplish the task. A little girl once said that she would be very glad to go to Heaven, because they bad plenty of preserves there. On being cross-examined, she took down her catechism and triumphatly read: "Why ought the saint to love God? Answer: "Because He makes, pre serves and keeps them." "Any good shooting on your farm ?" asked the hunter of the farmer. "Splen did," replied the agriculturist, "There's a lightning-rod man down in the clover meadow, a cloth peddler at the house, a book agent out in the barn and two tramps down in the stock yard. Climb right over the fence, young man, load both barrels and sail in."—Hawkeye. MRS. LYDIA E. PINKHAM. DISCOVERER OF LYDIA E. PINXHAM'B VEGETABLE COMPOUND.

It restores, with the gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray, light, ami red hair, to a rich brown, or deep black, as may be desired. By its use thin hair is thickened, and baldness of let; though not always cured. It checks falling of the hair immediately, and causes a new growth in all cases where the glands arf not decayed; while to brashy, weak, o; otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitalit; and strength, and renders it pliable. The VIGOR cleanses the scalp, cures and prevents the formation of dandruff; and ; by its cooling, stimulating, and soothing properties, it heals most if not all of tin humors and diseases peculiar to the scalp, keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under which conditions diseases of the scalp and hair are impossible. As a Dressing for Ladies' Hair The VIGOR is incomparable. It is color less, contains neither oil nor dye, and will not soil white cambric. It imparts an agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an article for the toilet it is economical and unsurpassed in its excellence. • Prepared by Dr. J. C.

V.'o are confident, from a lone experience In n c inc and recommending FRANK SIDDALLS SO AP, that one trial, according to the very easy printed directions, will overcome all prejudices. It £lso really has wonderful merit for shaving, toilet. Tl-e following are the Directions for Use, BO simple that a child ran understand tli< m. Pont ilo anything so ridiculous as to buy the Soap unless you intend follow ins them. CTSIOO positively forfeited if it injures the elothca, or wilt not ilo everything claimed. First, put the white clothes in a tub of water, only made warm enough to be comfortable for the hands. Then take one piece out at a time on the wash-board, rub the Soap lightly over it, roll it up and put it back into the same tub, and so on with each piece until all have the Soap rubbed on them. Then go away and let them soak at least twenty minute*, without touching thero, when the dirt will all be loosened, and a very little rubbing on the wash-board, out of that one suds, will make them perfectly clean, being particular ti» turn each piece while washing so as to get at the seams. Then wash lightly on the wash board, through u lukewarm rinse-water (without any Soap,) so as to get the dirty suds out. Then put through blue-water, and on the line, without scalding or boiling a single piece. Afterward put flannels and colored pieces to soak, and wash them exactly the same \v:iy. It is important not to heat the wash-water in a tin, brass or copper kettle. A tea-kettle will heat enough water for a large wash with this Soap. Just Think What You will Save by this Easy Way of Washing! No Wash-boiler! No Steam! No Smell of Suds through the House! It has the remarkable Property of keeping the Dish-Cloth, Wash-Rag and Sponge always Sweet, and of Washing Freely in Hard Water. —i- SOLD BY GROCERBi-*- Get a Cake and Try it for Yourself next Wash-Day.
