Corbett fias finished his piofessional engagement in Cleveland, O. Before leaving he expressed himself as confident of winning the fight with Fitzsim mons. and d clared that he would enter tin ring on that occasion mjast as gojd condition as he was when he knocked out John L. Sulivan. "I have been dieting myself and training moiierateiy ever si::co I signed to fight Fitz," said Corbett, "and my condition is tiptop now. I am just as fast as when I fought Sullivan, and much stronger and a harder hit ter. N I have not outlined my plan of battle with, the lanky fellow yet. In. fact, I never know just how I am going to fight a man until I face him in the ring. "I realize that Fitzsimmous is a dangerous hitter, but I have met hard hitters before. It is not my intention to hold my jaw out, and let Robert smash it at will. I think I can hit some myself, and, if I don't miss my guess, Fiu will feel my glove a few times. I honestly believe that the light will not last more than fifteen rounds." "There has been some talk to the e fleet that you would retire from the ring after this fight. Is that your intention?" "No, I don't expect to retire I will retain the ch uupionship if I be lt Fit., and gi ve some of those othr aspiring ducks a chance. I am still a young man, and reports circulated by certain vise oeonle to the contrary not- x I withstanding. expect to be able to hold the title for some years Lo come." I, ITT LIS THINGS. Little things arc often the hard est thing. It is comparatively easy to do a momentary deed of daring that will startle every body; it is not so easy to do little deeds of quiet courage from day to day. unheeded by all and un heeling all. Perhaps you are not called to do the great deed. But you are called every day to do the little deeds, which more sure ly wear out life and strength in the long run. He glad tnat you are called t) this; for this is the hauler task, and he who is faith ful here, will not be unfaithful in the easier great things. Not every one knows goo 1 ad vice when he sees it. Mot otten the best advice do s not tell a prso:i in direct language just what he ought to do, and how lie ought to do it. Good advice ought usually make one think before he acts. This helps to de veloped the whole man, by treat ing him as a rational being in stead of making a machine of him.

A determined eflort is being made to secure a fund of $25,000 to build a chapel for the summer school at Northfiehl, Mass , to be presented to THvightL. Moody on his sixtieth birthday, Feb. 5. The i lea is to have half the money given in this country and half in Euglan.l, and there is every indication of success. The chapel, when built, will practically complete the chain ofNorthfield School buildings which lias been evolved during the past fifteen years. No Open Mills, Bryan. says William J. Bryan, en route to Texas on a lecturing tour, spoke at the depot in Jackson, Tenn., Monday afternoon. He said there jwere more silver advo cates now than the day before the election, and that as yet the Repulican party had failed to show the open mills any more than the open mints. BY THREE MAJORITY. PRITCHARD CHOSEN TO SUC CEED HIMSELF IN THE SENATE. Speeches Were Made by Prit chard, Russell and Skinner. The vote for U. S. Senator on joint ballot on Wednesday at the State Capitol resulted as folows: Pritchard, Rep., ZS; Thompson, Pop., 43, Doughton, Dem., 33; Pritchard's majority of the vote cast, 12; majority of the entire membership of the legis lature, 3. Senator Pritchard, hi a speech after his election, said to his "Populist friends who had stood by him in this trying ordeal" that they would never have cause to regret their action; tli? t he stood where he did two years ago; that he would 111 fu ture as in past, keep every J pledge; that his victory means much for the Republican party in the nation; that with a pro tective tariff prosperity would return. Governor Russell then spoke, saying that he was not one of those who believed the Senate orial conflict between Populist and Republican parties will be in any way disa.trous to those policies which they haue desired to carry out. By this he means division of offices. Congressman Skinner, then spoke, declaring that the Popu lists who voted for Pritchard had done the best deed they had ever done for Republicanism and the cause of humanity; that it would not disintegrate the Populist party; that the Repub licans ought to be given absolute power to bring prosperity to the people; that Populism had now bound Pritchard to its cause; that if in four years protection didn't bring prosperity, Prit chard would walk out of the next national convention and take North Carolina with him as Teller did Colorado. Original Observations. A stich in time saves many yards of thread. No words of slander ever fell from a wagon tongue. Nature puts up many parcels, but few contain prizes. The cabbage head never suf fers with the brain fever. They never stop slaying even on bear ground in Wall street. A bill defered until to morrow often drives a man to borrow. A wood stove is not made of wood, neither is a sponge cake made of sponges. A religion that could adapt it self to all kinds of business would find many votaries. The cod-liver oil industry is said to be languishing. Another case of overproduction and lack of consumption. The men who advertise in the Fisherman & Farmer are the men who have faith in what they have to sell. Having a good thing to offer they want to sell it because the more used the better satisfaction it gives. X i i wenty For more than twenty years tj we have been telling how Scott's Emulsion overcomes the N excessive waste of the system, puts on flesh, nourishes and builds up the body, making it the remedy for all wasting di seases of adults and children, but it isn't possible for us to tell the story in a mere stick- ful of newspaper type. We have had prepared for us by a physician a little book, telling in easy words how and why Scott's Emulsion benefits, and a postal card request will be enough to have it sent to you free. To-day would be a good time to send for it. SCOTT & BOWNE, New York. A TEN DAYS' SLEEP. AND THE YOUNG WOMAN DOES NOT SHOW SIGNS OF AWAKKNING. unariotte nttilla, tlie young hat trimmer at Daubury, Conn., whose long period of uncon sciousness is attracting medical attention, has entered her tenth day of continuous sleep without giving any indication of return ing consciousness. The most surprising feature of the case is the remark tble vital ity which the girl has. She lies been practically without nourish ment since she became uncon scious in the hat factory where! sue was at work, yet she :s in 1 ' . . .... such good physical condition to day that medical opinion is that she will eventually awake and recover entirely from her ail ment, whatever it is. At times when efforts are made to arouse her, she appears to be sensible to pain, but at other times she remains in perfec stupor Her family believes that sue is conscious 01 what is transpiring around her but has no power to express herself or to move. 1 he doctors are not able to determine whether this is so or not, neither have they been able to decide the cause of the girl's condition. Her relatives believe the reprimand ol a factory fore man caused tne trance. ie is said to have scolded her just be fore she became afflicted with the peculiar malady. NOT A WIDOW AFTER ALL AFTER TEX YEARS MOURNING MRS. THOMPSON DISCOVERS HER HUSBAND. For about ten years Mrs. Hannah Thompson, of V:u eland, N. J., has believed herself a wid ow. She had not seen her hus hand, John Thompson, for twen ty years. Now she has just learned that he is alive and pros perous, and the matter of the discovery is one ol the most cu rious features of the odd story. One day, twenty years ago, John Thompson said: "Wife, times ate hard; I cannot get work here and I have decided to go to Australia and seek my fortune." John settled up his business, arranged a home for his wife and children, and one bright Sum mer morning, after promising to send for them as soon as fortune smiled upon him, he said good bye and started off with his, grip. The couple corresponded con stantly until ten years ago, when Mrs Thompson received her last letter from her husband, iu which he said that he was about to em bark for home by way of En gland, where he wished to visit relatives. Day after day the wife waited in vain for the glad moment of herhusband's return. As the years rolled by and brought no tidings from him she began to fear that he had been shipwrecked ou his voyage to England. Recently Mrs. Thomason an- plied for a widow's penson, her husband having been wounded in the late war. A few days ago she received word from the Pen sion Bureau that her application had been rejected on the grounds of no title, the soldier being alive and having himself lately filed an application for a pension. Thompson is now living at Kingston, New South Wales, Australia, and is said to be a prosperous farmer. Mrs. Thomp son and her two daughters are elated over the news that 'the husband and father is alive, and will vrite him. Having just added a new lot of type, borders, ornaments, &c, for the proper and effective dis play of advertisements, this of fice is better equipped than evei to do your work. Give us a trial.

The air in the vicinity was filled with flying bricks, and a number of cottages were.blown to pieces by the (errific explo sion which was distinctly heard at Spring Hill, seven miles west of the city, and at least ten or twelve miles from the explosion.

News tell of a queer character, who for number f s has been an inrnateof the J Bourbon County Infirmary She is 75 years old, is now living with her seventh husband, and has changed her religion five times. As the widow of her sixth husband she was entitled to a pension, and application for the bounty was quickly followed by a request for a permit to take unto herself husband No. 7, who is blind; Being advised that the marriage would invalidate her pension claim, she was told to choose between a pension and a husband. She meditated a moment, and replied: "I don't know the value of a pension, but I do know a husband's value. Gimme the husban." If man feared the displeasure of God as much as he does that of his fellowmau, the paths of sin would need mowing. Orange (Va.) Observer. This paper for $1.00 a year. FOUR PLACES FILLED. Maj.
