and immediately began the practice of
law at Mutnmorii, III , where he remained
untd 18C8. In 18(il be was appointed
Master in Chancery and held the office
for four years. In IStU ho was elected
District Attorney, which position he also
held for four years, at the end of his
term moving to Bloomington, 111., where

iion. James S. Kwing. The firm soon
attained the first rank at the McLean'
county bar and enjoyed a very largo and
lucrative practice.
Mr Stevenson was married in 18f!i!to
Miss L"titia Green, daughter of Dr. Lewis
W. Green, nn eminent Presbyterian
minister, who was president of Center
College, Dauviile, Ky, at the time of his
death. In 18G4 Mr. Stevenson was a
Presidential Elector ou the Democratic
ticket. Ia 1874, in a district reliably
Republican by about 3,000 majority, he m
was nominated for Congress and defeated
the Republican candidate by 1,2S5 ma
jority. Ha was renominated in 1S71,
but this being a Presidential year the
party lines were closely drawn, Bnd he
was beaten by about 250 plurality. In

out by Major P. F. Duffy, now on tho

years ago, Major Duffy submitted his

all through the day aud night. Toward
morning, Sir. ivarncw persuaded his wile,

the police station to send out a general

when his wife called him and to'd him
that she heard the baby calling her, and
that she saw him in his brother's lap in

street. The husband did not believe her,
but to satisfy her, accompanied her to
search the bouse. The children were

"THE DYING PLACE."
Kern York Advertiser.
There are now thirty-nine Democrats
and forty seven Republicans in the Sen
nte, also two Farmers' Alliance men
Pefl'er, of Kansas, and Kyle, of South
Dakota. The terms of eight Democrats
will expire on the 4th of March
next Bate, of Tennessee, Blodgett, of
New Jersey, Mills, of Texas, Coekrcll, of
Missouri, Faulkner, of West Virginia,
Gray, of Delaware, Paco, of Florida, and
Turpie, of Indiana.
It is hardly probable that the Repub
licans can elect successors to any of these
except, probably Mr. Turpie.
The terms of 24 Republican Senators
expire at the same time, all from North
ern States. The Democrats have a good
prospect of electing the successors of
Davis, of Minnesota, Fclton, of Califor
nia, Hawley, of Connecticut, Hiscock, of
New York, Paddock, of Nebraska, San
ders of Montana, Sawyer of Wisconsin
Stewart, of Nevada and Southridge, of
Michigan. A gain of four seats would
make a tie between the Democrats and
Republicans, and there is no good reason
to doubt that three of these gains will be
secured in New York, Michigan and
Wisconsin. Another would be certain
in Connecticut if the popular vote could
elect a Scuator.

HISTORY OF APIIKASE.
The phrase ''Robbing Peter to Pay
Paul," is supposed to havo originated in
an incident which occurred in London
during the sixteenth eeutury. About
the year 15 10 tho Abbey of St. Peter in
Westminster was elevated to the dignity
of a cathedral, but ten years later was
again joined to the diocese of London
and its property appropriated to pay th

Cathedral of St. Paul. It was evident

beasts inhabiting the neighboring plains
repair at the approach of death to depos

this strange instinct of theirs, and his
observations have since been fully con

there are several of these dying places,
the best known being on tho banks of
the Santa Cruz and Gallcgos rivers, where

Messrs. Lippman Bros.,
Savannah, Ga.
Dear Sim: I wish to give my testi
monial in regard to your valuable medi
cine, P. P. P., for the cure of rheuma
tism, neuralgia, dyspepsia, biliousness,
etc. Iu lHtil I was attacked with bilious
muscular rheumatism, and havo been a
martyr to it ever since. I tried all medi
cines I ever heard of, and all the doctors
in reach, but I found only temporary re
lief; the pains were so bad at times that
lid not care whether 1 lived or died.
My digestion became so impaired that
everything 1 ate disagreed with me. My
wife also Bum-.red so intensely with dys
pepsia that her life was a burden to her;
she would be confined to her bed for
weeks at the time; she also suffered great
ly from giddiness and loss of sleep. Some
time in March I was advised to take 1 .
P. P , and before we (my wife and 1) had
finished the second bottle ot I . 1. r
our digestion began to improve. M
pains subsided so much that I ba'J j been
able to work, and am feeling like doitur
what I haven't done in a number of
years. We will continue taking P. P. P.
until we are entirely cured, and will cheer
fully recommend it to all suffering hu
inanity.
Yours very respectfully,
J. S. Dupriss.

The list takers look liko they have a
"mighty poor time" as the girls say, but
a funny incident now and then relieves
the monotony of the hours. Yesterday
an old negro walked in the back parlor
of the ''Temple," aud said ho came to
make his retnrus. "Well, what have
you got?" asked one of the listers. "A
wile and child," said the darkey. "What
do you value your wife at?" was asked.
"Three hundred dollars," was tho answer.
"And your child?" "Oh! I wouldn't take
a thousand for him," said tho old man,
while his face beamed with joy and pride,
as he gnzed on his "hopeful." "Well,"
said the list taker, "I'll put you down fur
$000. Make your mark." The negro
took hold of the pen and did as directed,
be'.iijving perfectly that the form gone
through was binding and good. After
a timo, the listers could not keep the
joke any longer, and cxplaiued to
