Mother, I'm Sleepy.
"Mother, I'm sleepy," said the little
lips that no longer quivered with
pain. That was all. The simple
prayer had been left half unsaid;
sleep, endless and unbroken, had
o'ertaken it. Not even a mother's
sobs could call the loving arms about
her neck or.cauao the tiny month to
bruah away the tears with kisses. So
soon fatigued with life's unequal
strife, it gave the struggle o'er and
slept How grateful would it be
when care.s oppress to say with this
sweet lifeless, happy child, "I'm so
sleepy; kind mother earth, I'll strive
no more. Receive me to your breast
I'm sleepy." Merchant Traveler.
A Warning.
The modes of death's approach are
various, and statistics show conclu
sively that more persons die from dis
eases of the Throat and Lungs than
any other. It is probable that every
one, without exception, receives vast
numbers of Tubercle Germs into the
system and where these germs fall
upon suitable soil they start into life
and develop, nt first slowly and is
shown by a slight tickling sensation
in the throat and it allowed to con
tinue their ravages they extend to the
lungs producing Consumption and to
the head, causing Catarrh. Now all
this is dangerous and if allowed to
proceed will in time cause death. At
the onset you must act with prompt
ness; allowing a cold to go without
your attention is dangerous and may
lose you your life. As soon a3 you
feel that something is wrong with
your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, ob
tain a bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. It will give you immediate
relief.

GEN. SHEEIDAN DEAD.
Passed Away Last Sunday. Night.
A Brief Sketoh of Els Military Career.
Nonquitt, Mass, Aug. 5. Gen.
Phil. Sheridan died at 1020 p. m.
There began to be signs of heart fail
ure at 930, previous to which there
had been no unfavorable indications.
The general had been somewhat rest
less on account 01 neat, but seemed
generally bright and cheerful to-lday.
His voice was strong, he took full
nourishment and slept occasionally
as usual. The doctor and his family
were in hopeful spirits. Mrs. Sheri
dan and the dootors went to the hotel
for supper at 7 o'clock, and "on re
turning the usual preparations for
night were made. Col. Sheridan said
good night to his brother about 920
and went to the hotel. There having
been throughout the day no unfavor
able sign, no apprehension was felt
when the bad, symptoms appeared.
Drs. Matthews and O'Reilly applied
the remedies which had been effective
in former attacks, but they had no
effect and the general gradually sank
into complete unconsciousness, end
ing in the first cessation of life at
1020 p. sr. Mrs. Sheridan, sisters
Maban and Justinian and the body
servant, Klein, were present during
the general's last moments. No ar
rangements have yet been made for
the funeral.
In a bulletin issued at midnight
the doctors say that the immediate
cause of death was heart failure. The
remote cause was disease of the
mitral and aoertic valves. The com
plications which have occurred have
been nervous exhaustion, pulmonary
cogeria, anasaia and hemorrhages.
He was restless to-day, but not more
so than he has been several times
since his arrival at Nonquitt At
about 9u5U symptoms or Heart failure
suddenly appeared. Remedies which
bad hitherto been successful were
vigorously applied, but proved inef
fectual, and be sank rapidly, dying
painlessly at tho nour named.
With the death of general Sheridan
the rank of lieutenant-general lanses.
The command of the army of the
United States falls to tho ranking
major-general. There are now three
major-generals: Scoheld, Howard
and Crook, general Scofield being
ranking major-general by senior ap
pointment If congress should cre
ate a position of lieutenant-general,
the appointment thereto would be
made by the president from the list
of major-generals.

Power of the Eye.
A story is told of Van Amburgh, the
great lion-tamer now dead. On one
occasion, while in a bar-room, he was
asked how he got his wonderful power
over animals. He said: "It is by show
ing them that I am not the least afraid
ofthem, and by keepingmy eye steadily
on theirs. I'll give you an example of
the power of my eye."
Pointing to a loutish fellow who yas
sitting opposite, Van Amburgh said :'
"You see that fellow'.' He's a regular
clown. I'll make him come across the
room to me. and 1 won't say a word to
him."
Sitting down he fixed his keen, steady
eye on the man. Presently the fellow
straightened himself, got up, and came
across to Van Amburgh. When he got
close enough he drew back his arm and
struck the tamer a tremendous blow
under the chin, knocking him clear over
the chair, with the remark:
You'll stare at me like that again
won't you." N. Y. Sun.
