Americana Have SutleCeil the Iluagrr For a New (Creation. Is there uo art iu Morse’s telegraph, in Fulton’s steamboat or Colt’s revolver or in an American cultivator, but only In a morbid projection upon canvas of Dante’s insane portraitures of a sup- pttsed but impossible torture of lost souls in hell or the ever recurring monks of the wine cellar lewdly gibing the waiter girls that bring them their inebriating cups? Two-thirds of all tho so called art of Europe consists of pic tures that are both deniablo and un true, designed to commemorate events that never occurred or to preserve our reverence for ideas which the human mind no longer seriously entertained. American art must be the embodiment of American ideals aim inot (he reflex of mcdiasval ideals which uo longer com mand the sincere respect of even tho European mind. Tho art of Europe is as crudtt in its way as that of America, lie- cause it does not relate to ideas that arc now or ever again can be potential over the human mind. The most powerful and artistic fietion of modern times, perhaps of any period, whether judged by the extent to which it has been read, dramatized, acted, im itated and translated or by the depth of its revolutionary effects on socioty, is “Undo Tom’s Cabin.” It drew muoh of its power from tho hunger the world felt for a new art that should be Amer ican. Irving wrote volumes on England, Spain, Mohammedan histories, etc., all of which an; passing into waste paper because they have not tho originality of true art, while his name lives only in that small portion of his work whoso theme was American—viz, the legend of Sleepy Hollow, Rip Van Winkle and Diedrich Knickerbocker. Humboldt showed that travel and observation were fine arts, and that the liest field for their practice lay iu An’erica. Audubon lifted tho study of birds into a lino art and found no field necessary to its prac tice but America. Lowell, Mark Twain and Dret Ilarto have lifted American humor into an art so fine that tho Euro pean world itself is inquiring whether all real humor is not exclusively an American art.—Gunton’s Magazine. The fee to bo paid for certified copies of patents and other papers in manu script or typewritten is 10 cents per 100 wolds. CURED AT 73 YEARS. Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure Victorious.

For sale by The DuFre Drug Co. Samuel O. Stone. Grass Lake, Mich., Dec. 28,1094. I have lieen troubled with heart disease 15 years or morn. Most of the time I was so bad It was not safe for me to go out alone, as dizzy spells would cause failing. I had severe palpitation, shortness of breath and sudden pafns that rendered me helpless. All physicians did for mo was to advise keeping quiet. In August last I commenced taking Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure, and before I had finished the first bottle I found the medicine was a God-send. I have now used four bottles In all and am feeling entirely well I am 73 yi-ars of age and have held a grudge against patent medicines all my life, but I will not allow this to prevent giving my testimony to tho great cure your valuable remedy has wrought In me. I do this to show my appreciation of Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure. HAMHEL O. STONE. Dr. Miles Heart Cure Is sold on a positive guarantee that the first bottle will benefit.
