BONSLETT, A STOFFIL West McHenry, 111., March 24, 1891. Blaine and tha Wounded Soldier. At tlie charge before Petersburg, after the firing the mln<k. a young Lieutenant In offe ef the Maine regi­ ments was seventy wounded, being shot through the fye. He. with thous ands o' others, ftvas sent around to Washington on | Government trans­ port, and there f&nced in a hospital. The boy had just strength enough to direct that a teltgraru be sen% to his father, who immediately responded to the stimmnns. Ou his arrival at Wash ington, in* found lit? boy apparently at death's door, TJie surgeon in charge told him that if hft could get the boy home alive lie might possibly save him but the chances were that hn would die on his way ho ne;tint, worse than that, it would take several days to get a permit to send lilja home, and the poor fellow was sure to'die on their hands during that time. Although the father had several ac­ quaintances in Washington, there was but one man to wftom he felt to turn in his trouble. Teeing his apparently dying hoy lie would be back In a short time, he started for the house of James G. Blaine. On arrival there early !n the evening, I he servant at the door Informed him that Mr. Blaine was en­ gaged. that he was at dinner with com­ pany and could not be disturbed. The old gentleman in his agor.y replied: "Tell Mr. Blaine tltat a gentleman from Maine wishes to see hitn~a case of life and death." The servant immediately delivered the message, and In a moment Mr. Blainu appeared. He listened atten­ tively to the ffcth«r*8 brief reclta' of his trouble, and in Response to the anx­ ious inquiry: "C*n you help me?" replied, "I think I* can. Come with me," and seizing his hat lie started nut on the street. Mr. Blaine's first Inquiry was, "When does the next train Mart for New York?" and when he was told that It would leave in abou( three hours, he said, "you go to the hospital, tell the surgeon to make any preparations that may be necessary for the removal of the boy. and I will attend to the rest.*' The surgeon was hardly Inclined to accept the father'^ statement that the as* Hbfly-ww' gblitg to start for York on the next train, but was forced to do so when, in less than . an hour, Mr. Blaiiio appeared with a permit for the boy's removal home, accompanied by a couple ol soldiers with a stretcher to convey him to the railroad station. On their arrival there, the attendants at first refused to receive the wounded officer in the sleeping car, saying that they did not carry dead men there, that the place for them was ahead in (he express car; but a few vigorous words from Mr. Blaine satisfied the n that they had better change their minds. After the suferer was laid in bis berth, Mr. Blaine turned to the fa­ ther, with the remaik, "Ttips like this always cost a man more than lie real tzes they are going to when he leaves home; shan't 1 let you have some money?" The after being declined Mr. HIaine bade thein good hye. wislie l them a safe journey lioine, a1 d left the train. It was )'el about an hour before It was time for the train to leave Washington, About half an hour later, while the father was sitting on the edge of th«* berth fanning the young sufferer, I e hear i the car door open, and some one say, "Porter, show ine to Lieutenant G 's berth." The fattier at onco stepped forward and said, "I am Lieu­ tenant C ----'s iatlnr; what can I d » for you?"' ^The stranger introduced himself as a surgeon, stating that he was there a< the request of Mr. BUine to accompany him and his son to New York city and see them safely on the train for Boston, During the long tedious hours of tlie night this surgeon cared for the wounded officer and on t leir arrival «n NVw Yor, he made the necessary arrangements for their trans­ fer across fie city, and saw them com­ fortably settled on the Boston express. T'je time of parting had rrived. The father said: "Well, sir, puriuit me to settle with you ror this trip." "No, sir," responded the surgeon, "there is no charge for tills." "But, at least, I must pay for the expense of your journey here and your return to Wasuitigton." "No, sir; Mr. Blaine has arranged for all t iat»" The boy reached home alive, and after months of suffering recovered sufficiently to enter the Maine State Coast Defence Service, where the young one-eyed Lieutenant was the pet and pride ot his company. About ten years ago the sight of his remain­ ing eye failed him, and now the blind soldier tells his cliildreu how James G. Blaine saved his life, Since the close or the war the father has at times been somewhat prominent before the public. and it is not surpris­ ing that the campaign just ended found Solon Chase earnestly working for the election of James G. Blaine to tho Presidency of the United States. Piano Jlinueap$jif E M Owen A Sou'lt Self Binder, at Boots & Shoes and absolutely the best goods in the county and plenty of them.

"Now I suppose,'* said the tired man, "that most men would have let you go when you didn't notice Vm/5 "Yes; can't you find your ticket?" "But I don't believe in letting a mail' suffer for a mistake, even If it is his own." "Want to pay In cash?

An Adventure In l.ondon. John Moore, late President of . the Mutual I'liion Telegraph Company. *ars that lie had just readied London, and taken Ills seat at the table In Id" ho'ei about Piccadilly, when he heard the fxploilon of dvMMmi'e «t Carlton llotine. Moor**, as a «•<•!» T .jr <o> larg« pi I it' work*,- had us«'d inuiKii^- quantities of dynamite, and iu a single rn>uii"nt ho knew h.v the sound what deet ructivo agency was at, work. So lie jumped into a cab and drove Immediately to the spot, and while he was looking up ther$, tire first man to arrive, at the shattered wl-nlows along the whole facadt of ^ar'»»n House, he fell into couvesation with the next arrival, who seemed to be a modest and agreeable stranger. The stramrer rather stuck to Moore, and seemed to have information, and finally Moore said to hitn. "Wiiat is your business, my friend?" "O, I am valet to a nobleman," said the man,"but I have nothing to do to-day, and if I can be of any service to you I w|U go with you. sir." "All right." said Moore. ' Will you go around with me and show" me some of the sights?" They were together several hours, and when then they came back to the. hotel Moore gave the man a gold piece. "O, no," said the man, "1 don't want that "Why, tllfy friend." said Moore, "I have seen nobody In this kingdom who won't take a tip. You are perfectly welcome to it. • O, no. I thank you," said the man, When Mowre turned around tOjtVe office, the cu'todian said to him : > "Are you aware sir, that you have been in the company of the smartest detective in Scotland yard?

It was also urged against the use of phosphates and other artificial fertilizers. If triie. It is a strong argument in favor of the pracice, as whatever will make the weeds grow will also make the crops gr.»w If the weeds are kept under •ubjectioo,--̂ *«rtcan Cultivator. The CM of Clmneee, "Men are divided into three classes," said one of Theodore Wlnthrop'S char* acters--"them as grab their chances, them as chucks away their chances, and thetn as lets their chances 6llde," The truth IN this rough classification is illustrated in business and professional life on every side. Men are seising their chances by making the most ef their opportunities, saving a dollar is they can not save more, iuvestiug securely in things ef intrinsic talus that are new selling cheap, workiug Industriously while they have he»,th and strength, and turnlug everything to the best account in achieving the end which they ha*e In view. Men are throwing away their chances by an opposite course --by spending clear up to their Income, by betting and gambling on issms which they can do nothing to control, in the desperate hope of gett ing money without giviug any equivalent,"by dawdling at the BE ginning ef their ca'eer instead ef putting in their best work, and by in­ dulging In dangerous vices under the idiotic plea of "seeing life." Men are letting tlieir chat oe slide by giving up to inertia er laziness, by waiting fer something to turu up instead of turn ing up something, and by drifting Instead of pulling an oar. Quoting the remark of Lowell, that "Chance was the first m a n t e t r e a t e d To day , as t h o u g h i t were as good as Yesterday," a religious journal lately said that it is quite as important "to treat To-day as though it were better than To-morrow." This is certainly true of the improvement of EH«UCE6.--Boston Herald^ The Cure ror Flannela, Inacirculai issued by G. R.

But every woolen fabric will not shrink the samo under equsl teat men t. Much depends on the quality of the wool; still more in the spinning and twisting of the yarn in manuiacture Tnis can be done"to forestall in a large measure the future shrinkage. It is scarcely necessary to say thafe it is net done in cheap goods, whicn are produced for si!e with lie sole object of rendering them sightly at lie least postiidc price. It is the very poorest of poor economy to buj cheap woolen under­ clothing. if Hie wool is twisted and woven loosely . arded and c-tnbed adroitly toappan ntly till out the fabric to requisite quality 'u the touch and si^lit. it is bound to clos<* up and as Slime at least its normal position iu the process of washing.

It Is a strange.fact that perspiration from some persons vill shrink when that equally protu«e from others w'll not. l itis is owing to tiie difte rence in the acid properties of the execrations of. diflerei.t bodies. It Is apparent that this is a cause which can nei.lier bo forseeti or provided against. It Is a condition the responsibility of which must be assumed and borne by each ind'vidual according to His own judgment and experience. No dealer can be expected to be accountable for or able to avert such cause of shrinkage. At the rl»k of fastidious criticism, we venture our opinion that flannels are wa8ned oflener than is actually neees- saty. Except in cases of profuse and offensive perspiration, or very llrty work, it is grfficient for strict cleanli ness that they should be laundered but once in two weeks. If changed weekly and the discarded garments are turned wrong side <>ut, whipped, and hung to air out of doors, and thus worn every alternate week before going to the wash tub. it lessens the repetition ol laundry, and is entirely adequate for health anp cleanliness." The following recipe is probably knoflrn to many, but those who do not know It will be thanklul to Geo. Sabln for stating It at this time: "I put my beets and turnips in barrels In my cellar and cover them with plaster* dl-'s sand--alternating a layer of vegetables with a layer of sand, or filling the barrel with vegetables, cover them with sand, and shake the barrel so that the sand will find its way down through it and occupy all the vacant spaces. Turnips or bests thus cared for will keep perfectly fresh, har I and brittle for a year, or even longer. In cleaning out my last year's barrels • few days ago I found a half bushel of beets iu one of them that had kept so nicely that they could not-be distin­ guished from those just dug. Once 1 kept a few for two years, and they remained hard and g«*d»u •er AppreeiatiM SxpteteodL "You like the paper, smirked the editor, as the the striped shawl paid tlx advance.

He says: continue to overlook yeur eppoitonl- t ies; it you neglect the cultivation Ol your soil; if you refuse to occupy yeinf lauds more broadly, yon will be Invad­ ed from the north and your ehiUbie»r will be dispossessed of their natonft Inlieritence, 1 do not desire to see It; but the land cannot be kept forever idle --itit weal' h undeveloped.
