The inclination to wait and see if the morrow
does not bring a better feeling, ot infrequently
occasions a vast amount of needless suffering, and,

AN OI.D RELIC.
A. Button Snot from Gen. Hancock'

Uttle Rock Gazette.
v! Yesterday a well dressed man but
this is not a fashionable article;1 what's
the use in describing a man's dress?
Any way. the man entered a store, and,
taking a'brass button from his posket he
handed it to a bystander, and remark
ed: '
? "Rather a valuable relic. This but
ton wasishot from Hancock's coat at
the battle of Gettysburg. My father
was on Hancock's staff and picked up
the buttom when it fell from the Gen
eral's coat."
I should think that it is valuable,"
said the man, examining it. "From
Hancock's coat? Well, I declare.
What'll you take for it? Excuse me,
sir. i snouia not nave asKea sucn a sil
ly question."
"No offence, sir. I wouldn't sell the
relic, of course, as it is bound to me by
more than one tie. My father is dead"
and the man looked away while a boy
that stood by the counter lazily turning
the leaves of a lot of sheet music.
"No, I wouldn't sell it," continued the
man, "but as I am in straitened circum
stances I am going to the pawn shop
and pawn it."
-Don't do that. Let me take it."
"Well, loan me $5."
The money was handed over, and af
ter the relic-man had carefully taken
down the address of the capitalist he
walked out. About five minutes after
ward the clerk in the neighboring store
entered and exclaimed, "See here, fel
lers; I reckon Fve got the boss relic, a
button shot from Hancock's coat at the
battle of Gettsy burg." He then unwrap
ped a lot ot oil paper from around a
brass button.
f Where did you get it?" asked the
man who had a similar curiosity.
"I eot it from a man whose father
l&ckedit up just after a bullet had clip-
ped it from Hancock s coat. The poor
fellow -had started to the pawn shop.
Jlet him have ten dollars on it. -'J

Leadville is composed exclusively of
a working class of people, in the practi

about us are filled with cjerks, profes
sors, lawyers and doetorg. Don't for a
moment imagine that they ate there as
ornaments, receiving large salaries and
doing nothing. No, indeed. In their
rough miners' garb you wonld never
take them for what they are. They are
workers, even though their early years
were spent in colleges, banks and offices.
They dig and delve side by side with
your common laborer, who unaerstanas
neither Latin nor French, and know
only one thing, and that is that they
must work just as hard as their illiter
ate companions "to the manner born"
if they expect to make the same wages.
These are the men who compose the
active element which has just given
Leadville its reputation for push and
enterprise, and those who have not the
means to build up a business here nor
wish to do some hard work had better
not come.
A Great Speech in Georgia.
A great speech has just been deliver
ed in Georgia. A young Mr. Cox is run
ning for Congress in ,an independent
way in the fourth district. At a recent
gathering of yeomen he declared his in
tentions in the following outburst:
If you see fit to send me to. iCongress
I will go to the best of ray ability.
E Cheers. I believe I would like to go.
Renewed cheers. In act, I know I
want to. go, Loud cheers. I have
heard that the salary ij ample, and, as I
have a small family, w6n't insist on its
increase. Cheers. As' I am fond of
vindication, I want to vindicate my
self. It has been hurled at me-like a
thunderbolt that I am too young. In
answer to this ! say, first, 1 can't help
it, and it isn't my fault Second, I am
trying to grow older every day. Third,
I am succeeding. Fourtli, I am afraid
I will be much wider tbaa I am before I

Visitors to. General Hancock do not
feel inclined, exactly to confine them
selves to the days set apart for such
visits Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri
days. The result is that they continue
to call, and although they are cordially

. Rev. Sylvanus Cobb thus writes in-the Boston
Christian' Freeman: We would by no means re
commend any kind of- mediolne which we did not
know to be good particularly for infants. But of
Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup we ean speak from
knowledge; in; ouf own family, it. has proved a
blessing indeed, by giving an infant troubled with
colic palnsi quiet sleep; and its' parents unknown
rest at night Most parents can appreciate these,
blessings. Here is an article whlc works to per
fection; and which is harmless; for the sleep
which it affords the infant Is perfectly natural, and
the little cherub awakes -as ."bright as a button."
And during tbe process of teething, its value la
Incalculable. 1 We have frequently heard mothers
say they would not be without it from the birth of
the child till it had finished with the teething
siege, on any consideration Whatever. Sold by all

Soothing Syrup was- just ' the article needed, pro
cured a supply for the child. On reaching home,
and acquainting his wife with what he had done,
she refused to have It administered ' to the - child,,
as she was strongly to favor of iHomo3opathy.
That night the child passed rln eufterlngi;am the

the mother stepped front the room to attend to
some domestic duties, and left the father with the.
child. During her absence he administered a por
tion of the Soothing Syrup tor the baby, and said
nothing, s That sight all hands slept well, and the
little fellow awoke In the morning bright and hap

and wonderful change, and although at first offend-
