A good deal used to bc said about th?; number of detectives which wen- wont t<? accom pany President. Cleveland and some sneering comments were made by those who ought to have known bet- j ter, but there was no more precaution . laker) f<> protect thc person of I'resi- i dent Cleveland than is taken during this administration or was taken in j that of President Harrison. I'resi dent Cleveland was not as lithe of ! limb as either Mr. Harrison or Presi- j dent McKinley and consequently was j not scon abroad as much as cither, but ; lie was as unconscious as either to the j sense of danger. This I learn from some one who j knows what he is Haying and who is ? thoroughly posted on the ways and ! means provided to insure our Chief j Executive from assault. MAS Y A M Kit M'AN ASSASSINATIONS. This country, a little over a hun- ; dreii years old. has had almost as marry j ruler- assassinated as France with her j thousand years back of her, and one j more than England. I am not taking into consideration those princes and , rulers who were murdered after they were deposed and imprisoned, but of actual bona fide assassinations such as that of President Lincoln, President Garfield and President Carnot. Hut j of tl? i s later on. As 1 said, the President himself is : ignorant of the precautions taken to j protect him. He would deny that j such precautions were taken because | he is ignorant of thom, and if the j secret service bureau was asked thc j plain question if it had a force of men detailed for this work its head would doubtless disclaim it for the reason that there is no law which authorizes the treasury department to detail men for such duty. It was all light for Horace to sing of "Integer vitae scelerisque purus," but the pure aud good arc as vulnera ble to the crank as the evil and wicked. li any one doubts that such precau tions arc taken let him imagine thc preposterous preposition of a govern ment of sixty or seventy millions of people permitting their head to go unattended through thc world at the mercy of cranks. It is said that if the secret service men detailed to guard the life of Garfield had done their duty properly his life might never have been sacrificed to the pis tol of a madman. "THE CHIEF SAFETY." From thc standpoint of the Kuro pcan our Executive is absolutely un guarded. In this is his chief safety for where there are fewer evidences of fear there are less incentives to crime. Thc very absence of guards is protec tion. But it is thc crank that has to be watched and for this work six of the ablest men in thc secret service branch of the government have been ! selected. They are absolutely trust vvorthy and have an almost unlimited amount of money to spend. They have to report to no ono save to each other, one of whom is chief, so I un derstand, and in this way their com ings and goings are conducted without suspicion. They arrive in town as do other travelers, put up at thc best hotels and wear thc smartest clothes. Sometimes they come with large tour ist parties and take in thc sights, going through the White House with as keon an appetite for bits of gossip as tho veriest " hay seed" in thc party. They will assume any disguises they want, but they usually go as well equipped gentlemen. They mingle with crowds and watch thc vagrant and thc loiterer about thc White House grounds with trained eye, roving in every direction. They kuow their business as thoroughly as do any men in their profession in thc world, it is said, and their disguises arc impene trable. It makes no matter who is President and what thc Kxccutive wish may bc on the subject, the silent and ever watchful vigil continues. Thc President himself would scorn thc idea that he needed protection of any kind, but for all that he is pro tected when least suspecting it. Tho system has been continued since the time of Lincoln. Up to that time ft was not thought necessary to throw safeguards about our Presidents. Tho systom had become a little lax when thc assassination of Garfield made it evident that the ritriditv of th in ur?, caution must never bc allowed to re lapse into an indifferent state again. IS GUARDED. s I jr* no rant of tho Mir ons. lum nul. SKfMtKT S Kit V ?< I l'JU:? .M l l??S. lu oilier countries tlii- secret;ser vice precaution i- carried to a far . greater extent t li si II here, but it i> doubtful if it i- MIMIC effective. In Knglaud, for instance, it is said that so many are lin; disguises assumed by the dcterti' cs about \'ictoria that that pour lady's life i> made miserable by wondering who these people are and by what right they are permitted to roam about her estates, lu Prance j the system is carried on very much us it is here, save that the secret service is increased by officers and guards in uniform, and sentinels stationed at every door and gateway. There have been only three bona iide assassinations in France, posi tively known to history. One victim was Henry III. killed by a Jacobin monk, Henry IV was assassinated by thc Kornau fanatic ilavaillac, the third being President Carnot. The former was assassinated in IOU). That period was replete with assassinations ol' all kinds, and the wonder is that more crowned heads did not fall a victim to the knife. Many attempts on thc lives of rulers are recorded, but very few successful attempts. Louis Xl was believed to have been murdered for rebelling against bis father, but it was never proven. Over in Knglaud Kdward the First was assassinated by a musselman while thc former was crusading, but he seems to have had no right there and thc feeling against him was bitter and deep. Kdward thc Second was mur dered after his deposition. William Rufus was supposed to have been as sassinated in New Forest and not accidentally shot with an arrow by Walter Tirrell, as stated in history, diehard the Second was killed by Kx ton after his deposition, and Henry thc Sixth is supposed to have been assassinated by thc Yorkists, but it was never proven. Kdward the Fifth goes down in history with an improba ble death at the hands ol' Kiehard the Third, but recent historians put little faith in the story. One of the most marked assassina tions was that of William of Orange, surnamed thc Silent, the founder of the Dutch republic. Ile was called thc "Silent" from the fact that he hoard without comment from Henry thc Second of Frunce of a plot to mas sacre the Protestants, he himself being one at the time. He was assassinated by Balthazcr (ierard, a Catholic fanatic. ASSASSINATIONS IN SCOTLAND. In Scotland assassinations was the favorite way of securing a change of governmental policy. They of all people seemed to have been given more freely to assassination. Thc assassinations of rulers, consorts and paramours are too numerous to meu tion. In studying history one is likely to emerge from youth with the idea that nearly every other ruler was assassinated for the reason that thc historian seems to revel in detailing the attempts on the lives of sover eigns, and dwelliug with much color on the various plots. Hut to review the men who have met death in this way there are comparatively very few, but sufficient to cause those who have thc keeping of tho lives of rulers safe to still use precaution; for modern history boasts about as many assassi nations as the history of the period known as the dark ages. A. W. B. A Pretty Storj.. A Lancashire lady has been relat ing a rather pretty story about a fac tory girl's way of answering a marriage proposal made to her. "The young woman could not write or read writing, and one day she brought a letter to me to read to her. It contained an offer of marriage. "I happened to know that thc writer was a deserving young artisan, so I said to her: 'Now, you must consider this matter very seriously, and if you like to come to nie when you have aiade up your mind. I will write a re ply for you." "A day or two afterward I met the girl again and asked her if she wanted mc to answer the letter for her. ,,lO, that is all right,' she said, looking radiant and pleased. 'I've settled it. I answered it myself.' ''Why, bow did you do it?' I asked. "And then she told me that she could make a capital 'I,' aud then she stuck on tho paper a piece of wool after it for 'wull'-'I wool.'

Men are care less about their lives for their own sakes, but a kind and tender man should think of others ; bc should think if he should die of those be leaves behind to grieve and sorrow and struggle on without him. 1'OT this reason alone, if for no other, every tnon should re gard his health as a precious treasure not to be thrown away or spent and .scattered in vain. If any man's health is weakened or wasted, or running down, he should take thc right means to build himself up strong and well, so that he can botb live and care for those he loves. He should investigate the virtues of that great remedy, the "Golden Medical Discovery" originated by Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting phy sician of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Huffalo. N. Y. It is a remedy that makes a man thoroughly well by giv ing power and capacity to the digestive and assimilative organs. It makes healthy in vigorating blood out of the food he eats It gives him strength and energy to put into his daily task. It builds up hard mus cular flesh and nerve fiber, revitalizes tue tissues of the throat and lungs, heals in flammation, purges thc blood of bilious poisons and makes a mau, strong, vigorous and hardy. "My husbmd had boen sick n long time," writes Mr?. J. \V. Ilrlttiu, of Clinton, newitt Co., Ills. (Hox 475), " had doctored with home phy sicians and even went to Chicago and consulted n doctor there but without receiving any help. Ile went to the hospital and was operated on and niter three months rame home to die (as the doctors herc thought), but niter awhile he com menced to take your wonderful medicine, the ' Golden Medical discovery1 and now, thanks, to vour moil welcome medicine, he can eat any thing he wants ami Ls again a well man."

Hravo for Governor Stone! IIAKRIBUURO, PA., April .>.-Ina letter which Governor Stone wrote to day to \V. S. Grenoble, of Gettysburg, declining to sign a petition addressed to thc Secretary of thc Navy urging that one of the new cruisers bc named the "Gettysburg," thc Executive said : "If naming a cruiser Gettysburg' would alone honor and distinguish the excellent town of that name I would not hesitate to join with you in this request; but to the whole country and to the civilized world that name typi fies great battle, which settled a controversy between the North and the South of our country. To both sections it recalls a great heroic strug gle. The victory was with the North, thc defeat with the South. "lu the recent war with Spain the North and the South were blended as one in defense of the flag. Our battle ships and cruisers are manned by sailors and marines from both the North and the South, and I do not think it wise that a name should be selected for any of our vessels which will revive the unpleasantness which grew out of the civil war and existed for so many years. "Let Gettysburg be honored and revered as the site of a great battle, wherein the survivors of the Northern army and the survivors of the South ern army can alike uphold the valor of their comrades. I am not in favor of giving any vessel in our navy a name which will distinguish a battle fought by Americans against Americans." - The turkey was first discovered in America, and was taken to England in the early part of the sixteenth cen tury.
