Anecdote of Jackson. lA.rmpr ( ;ov,.i-nor I'eterTurnev of Tennessee, had a peculiar ex porience with General, Stonewall Jackson. It was in Virginia, of course. Colonel Turuey had nev er seen the general, but about midnight received orders to pre pare three day's rations and be ready to move at a moment's notice. Two hours later came an order to proceed in a certain di rection, and that on a certain VMiiul, on the road he would find a guide. At the xiut a citizen rode up and merely indicating the di rection rode along with tin' colo nel in silence. Before day they came upon a plain-looking man wearing a small cap and mounted on a little pony, lie fell in with the head of tho column and along they rode, still in silence. Soon alter daybreak the newcomer said: "Colonel, had you not bet ter halt your men for breakfast?" "1 will before long," was the re ply. The silence wasouly broken half an hour later by a similar suggestion and a similar reply. Fnally the newcomer stopped glancing around at the sky and landscape , said: "Colonel, halt your meu for brakfast." Colonel Turney, thinking that this was a plain countrymen who j felt over sorry for the men, did; so. When tin.' inarch was resutn- j ed the stranger remarked that the regiment was straggling a good deal, aud when Colonel Turuey gave a command for the column to : "short step," the stranger said: : "No, that will throw your men all ; out. It should be slow stop. " j This was a command to which the Tenuesseans were not accustom-' ed, and, putting a private on his j Kiny, the stranger took the head of the column on foot aud showed ; the men how to march. While this was going on Colonel ! Turney asked his adjuant who the strauger was, and when the re ply came "Stonewalvhaksou," you could have bought th&'olouel for a nickle. . .Jil lie was on foot, tlm vtfS-hcad m. . ? in. in, in such close VlP'oV? ity to the enemy that the batki was on in half an hour, and yet (baching the soldiers how to march. By this night movement he llauked tho enemy and the Ten nessee regiment struck in front, making a complete route for the enemy. It Dazzles the World.

"I am indebted to One Minute Cough Cure for my present good health and my life. I was treat ed iu vain by doctors for lung trouble following lagrippe.

Mr. Samuel Ruff, one of the oldest citizens of Pojjn, West moreland county, has a recoipe for the care of peach trees which he says every grower of the de licious fruit should know. Mr. j RulT says tho greatest enemy tho peach tree has is a worm that de stroys the z-oots. A bushel of coal scattered around the tree will prevent this. 'The sulphur in the coal penetrates, to the worms. The remedy is a simple one and Mr. Kurt' will vouch for its eflicacy.

Humid Life Longer. i The opinion of American life insurance men that the avonii:o length of human lifeis increasing ha.-- been sustained by the results of eight, years work by the actu aries of England and Scotland. Those actuaries have just com pleted an examination of the mor tality records of more than OOO, IKK) persous, and they aflirin that the increase is both notable and steady. This is the uatural and invitablo effect of several causes, the chief of which, perhaps, is the birth and development of sanitary science, by which tho spread of diseases has boon chocked. It is beyond all doubt, too, that people pay more attention than formerly to tho laws of personal hygiene. In every way they regulate their lives more rationally, owing to tho wider extension of education and the more exact knowledge of the effect of neglect. Labor-saving machinery has relieved men of the hardest toil, and children and women are prevented by law from working an excessive number of hours iu factories. That intem perance has greatly diminished is obvious, and people are better fed, clothed and housed thau at any other time in the history of t he race. Tho lengthening of human life by the addition of a few years at the end the prolongating of the helplessness aud pains of mind less old ago - could hardly bo re garded as a blessiug. The in crease in the average length of life means something bettor tluxn this. Old ago as well as death has boon pushed farther away. Youth lasts longer than formerly. As recently as a ceutury ago it was common for girls of sixteen to become wives, while the young woman of .twenty -live who was still unmarried was regarded as well witllin tho borders of con firmed spinsterhood. It is pro bable that now more young wo men are "married at twenty-five than at twenty. Men are nowiu the zenith of their powers be tween forty and lifty, aud a man of sixty is no longer old. The proportion who pass the limit of life tixed by the Psalmist in good health, and with no apparent de cline of intellectual vigor, is great er than ever. It is true that this assertion is contray to certain records which have come dowu to us from the Sixteenth and Seventeenth cen turies, and which atlirm that per sons were known to have lived as long as 175 years, and iu one in stance 20) years. The ancient records, however, are not treated with any show of respect by men of science. The most thorough investigations have revealed that iu no case had there been any ev idence that a single person had ever lived to bo 110 years old. Besides having tho period of physical and mental vigor pro longed, the people of this ago are able to employ agencies which di minish the time required to do tilings and the distance; which it has been necessary to travel in order t enjoy certain ex per ieuces. On the whole, we have every rea son to feel that we have unpre cedented opportunity to make life full and protitable. WhiteMan TurnedVeilow. Great consteruatiou was felt by tho friends of M. A. llogarty of Lexington, Ky.. when they saw ho was turning yellow. His skin slowly changed color, also his eyes, aud ho suffered terribly. His malady was Yellow Jaundice. Ho was treated by tho best doc tors, but without benclit. Then he was advised to try Electric Bitters, the wonderful Stomach aud Liver remedy, and he writes: "After taking two bottles I was wholly cured. " A trial proves its matchless merit for all Stomach, Liver and Kidney troubles. Only 50c. Sold by W. S. Dickson, Druggist. A corn doctor is said 'to have j swindled the people of Irwin and i neighboring towns. Ho sells what is termed "Moore's Oint ment," warrauted to cure the worst kind of a corn iu a few hours. He reaped a harvest in the coal town, it is said. Tho salve is nothing more than axle grease obtained at tho various stores and wagon-making shops. Tho fakir has his pockets tilled with small tin boxes labeled "Moore's Oint ineut." ThoseHtoxes he has till ed with axlegreasulich he sells at fifty cents nnd 1, according to. the size. fofiVntiOll. We succeed in this world on!.'.' hy Twipg devoted to something, in business, we in tirst make busi ness our idol. The artist must worship at the shrine of art. We must all bo contout to become satellites before we become stars. Devotion to principle is whateon stitutescharacter. We mustlovo nnd admire something. Haughty self-importance never accomplish ed anything great. To serve is the thing, and to bo true and steadfast. Iu jxilitics, tho man who ml mires nobody,' follows no body aud is suspicious of every body, never succeeds. "Wo need not fear excessive iulluence," says Emerson. "A more gener ous trust is permitted. Serve the great. Stick at no humilia tion. Grudge no office tliou canst render. Bo the limb of their body, the breath of their mouth, j Compromise thy egotism.' Who caro-i for that, so thou gain aught j wider and nobler.' Aevor ilium the taunt of Boswellism; the de votion may easily be greater than the wretched pride which is guarding its own skirts. Bo an other; notthyself, but a Platonist not a soul, but a Christian; not a poet, but a Shakosporian." But there is such a tendency iu human nature to be self-sufficient, to be envious and self-willed that only a few become worship pers, and hence do not develop. Love is the foundation of all great uess as well as all virtue. The narrow, back biting, cyui cal tribe who scratch and tear like a wildcat at whatever approaches who are full of suspicion and prejudice, and admire, nothing aro necessarily destined to re main little. A genuine apprecia tion of merit is in its one of the greatest merits Never mind hating anything. Th.it which is hatefi.! aw1 d fn: m cil is .so common that to d ell uAi-oi- it viuld only render uf hate ful and dolormod without helping to render more potent the iullu ence of that which is beautiful and good. Tho best Chri&tiau is the groat admirer and humblest" follower of Christ. The greatest poet is most enthusiastic over tho beau ties of Sliake.-.pear. The great artist iias tho most appreciation of Riilphael ar .1 Michael Augolo. Tho great captain admires the Alexanders and Napoleons, aud the great statesman places the names of the founders of repub lics and umpires, the great lead ers and organizers of men, at the pinnacle of human glory. It is all a matter of love, the power that forms everything to symmetry and beauty, and which alone can redeem tho world. You cau never euro dyspepsia by dieting. What your body needs is plenty of good food prop erly digested. Then if your stomach will not digest it, Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will.
