MAINE SPRUCE 6UM.
1 have for sale a large amount of very nice,
dean, pure. Spruce Gum, gathered expressly
for me from the spruce forests of this state.
This gum is just as wben taken from the tree,
except that tbe bark, &c., has been carefully
removed with a knife.
All so-called purified spruce gums are mix­
tures of rosin, animal oils, &c., flavored with
spruce bark and pitch, and are injurious to
those using them. Pure spruce gum has been
found very beneficial to people suffering with
dyspepsia and other stomach troubles.
Sample package containing an ounce sent
to any address on receipt of 35c. Liberal dis­
count on larger quantities.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our Regular Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, May 18, 1888.
Judge Walter Q. Gresham's presidential
boom has been undoubtedly the polit­
ical event of the week in this city, from
where it seems really to have started.
Judge Gresham is extremely popular per­
sonally in Washington, and many people
here would rejoice to see him President,
your correspondent among the number.
But,candor compels me to say that if the
Judge's boom is not more heavily backed
elsewhere than it is here, he stands little
show of receiving the nomination atChi
cago. Unfortunately for the Judge, his
personal popularity has been taken advan­
tage of by a few anti-Blaine Republicans
in order to make a determined attempt to
stem the current of Republican opinion
in order to prevent the nomination of
Mr. Blaine. Already these boomers are
making the mistake of antagonizing Mr
Blaine, although that gentleman has step­
ped aside for the purpose of allowing the
party to make its selection of a standard
bearer unhampered. This is decidedly
wrong. No good Republican can afford
to join in any movement looking in the
slightest manner towards the debasement
of the name of James G. Blaine, no mat­
ter who it is to help, or who is to be nom
inated. Mr. Blaine has devoted the best
years of his life to the service of the Rep
ublican party has been an acknowledged
leader for years, and will continue as such
whether he be nominated this year or not.
The.Republican party can and will win
this presidential fight, if it is true to it­
self. But let the friends of every candi­
date for the presidency remember that
only one man «an be nominated, and fur­
ther that he cannot hope to be elected un­
less supported by the entire Republican
party. Antagonisms are dangerous where
the margin is as small as it is just now.
The Senate Committee on the judicairy
will on Monday consider the nomination
of Mr Fuller to be Cheif Justice. Repre­
sentative Farquhar, of New York,made a
good point in his speech against the Mills
tariff bill in the House on Wednesday,
by commenting some-what severely on
the whole fact that the great commercial
and financial questions were submitted
to tbe ways apd means committee, the
composition of which is as follows: one
cotton planter, one railroad manager,and
eleven lawyers. The whole industries,
of the country entrusted to the wisdom,
not of the capitalists, not of the banker,
not of the manufacturers, not of the wage
earners, but of eleven lawyers, one cotton
planter, and one railroad manager. If
there ever was a farce in representative
goverment, the Fiftieth Congress had
reached it. When the great Industrial
interests were to be taken care of and reg­
ulated, was it just, was it fair, was it in.
the propriety of common sense, that elev­
en lawyers, one cotton planter, and one
railroad manager, should legislate for the
American industrial people?
The tariff fever has extended to tlio
Senate. The Senate committee on fi­
nance has gotten permission from the
Senate to employ a stenographer, and has
appointed a sub-committee consisting of
Senators Allison, Aldrich, Hiscock, Beck,
and Harris, to consider tariff and reyenue
subjects. It is understood that it.is the
purpose of this sub-committee to grant
hearings to all parties interested, just
what Mr. Mills and his Democratic asso­
ciates en the Ways and Means committee
of the House refused to do.
The Senate has. by an overwhelming
majority, decided against considering the
fisheries treaty in open session.
The house committee on pensions has
reported favorably a bill extending the
time of the arrearage of pensions act, so
as to give the benefit of the act to all
claimants who filed their claims after the
expiration of the time limit, or may yet
file claims before the passage of this bill.
The report estimates the cost to tbe gov­
ernment at about $250,000,000, and sug
ests that this is the very best means of
disbursing the surplus in the treasury.
A memorial has been presented to the
Senate asking that letter postage be re­
duced to one ceut for each ounce or frac­
tion thereof.
At last the Democrats succeeded in
finding a Republican Representative to
speak in favor of the Mills tariff bill.
His name is A. P. Fitch he represents
one of the New York city districts. On
Weduesday he made his little speech,
which was much applauded by the demo­
crats.
R. P. MOORE CAMP,
S.
OF V.
Byron, sings a man named GROSE, who
getting in battle a bullet in his body,
was bulletined as GROVE, and falls a mor­
alizing on that fame that is so easily
missed.
The young men who compose this
camp have honored themselves in seek­
ing to honor the Dame and memory of
one who fell at Iuka, and of whom his
Colonel, John B. Sanborn, said, perhaps
with some exuberance of grief, that, "he
was not only the best Captain, but the
best man, in the Regiment.'^
A desire that this use of his name be in
such form that his friends would recog­
nize it, moves me to offer the suggestion,
which I trust the camp will not take ill,
that they adopt the correct authography,
viz: MOOERS. CO. K, 4th MINN.
The First Regiment at Gettysburg.
From an interesting article in the May
Century by Wm. F. Fox, we take the fol­
lowing. giving a comparison ot tbe loss
of the First Minnesota at the battle of
Gettysburg and the loss of regiments in
some other noted wars: The loss of the
First Minnesota in that one charge was
almost 82 per cent., and in the entire bat­
tle the gallant regiment lost 83 per cent,
of the men engaged.
"But the most remarkable instance of
all is that of the 1st Minnesota Infantry,
at Gettysburg. It was comming on the
field alone, just at the time when Gen­
eral Hancock observed a Confederate
column advancing through his line where
there were no Union troops to confront
them. In order to delay the Confederate
advance until some brigade could be
brought up, Hancock ordered the 1st
Minnesota alone to charge the enemy's
line. This forlorn hope moved forward
with only 252 officers and men, accom­
plished the purpose, forced back the Con­
federates, and captured their flag but
when it was over only 47 men clustered
around their own colors, while 205 lay
dead or wounded on the field. The mus­
ter-rolls of this regiment bear the names
of 75 men all marked as killed at Gettys­
burg, or died of wounds received there,
a loss in killed of 29 per cent, of those en*
gaged- Fiftysix of these men are buried
in the Gettysburg Cemetery the others,
dying of their wounds,in hospitals at Phil­
adelphia or York, were buried elsewhere.
The extent of these losses will be un­
derstood if compared with some of the
extraordinary cases cited in the histories
of other wars. Take, for instance, the
charge of the Light Brigade at Balakla
va,—the charge of the Six Hundred.
Lord Cardigan took 673 officers and
men into that action: they lost 113 killed
and 134 wounded total,247, or 36.7 pet
cent. The heaviest loss in the late Fran­
co-Prussian war occurred at Mars la
Tour, in the 16th German Infantry(3rd
Westphalian) which lost 49 per cent. But
the 141st Pennsylvania lost 76 per cent,
at Gettysburg, while regimental losses of
60 per cent, were a frequent occurrence
in both Union and Confederate armies.
In the war for the Union there were
scores of regiments, unknown or forgot­
ten in history, whose percentage of killed
and wounded in certain actions would
far exceed that of the much prised Light
Brigade and nobody blundered either."

The Blue Grotto of Capri, although fa­
mous the world over, is hot the sole
chagrin of the island of Capri, as descibed
by |Iiss Mary E. Vandyne in Harper's
AJagazine for June. This rocky island,
rising abruptly off the Bay of Naples,
abounds in attractions, some natural,
and'some incident to the days of imper­
ial Roman civilization for Capri was the
retreat of various emperors, although
Tiberius made the most and the worst of
it. Twelve palaces did this alleged mon­
ster build there, only ruins of which re

mentioned as one of the island's charms
well_ known of late to all lovers of fine
etchings. Miss Yandyne's article is finely
illustrated, and her style of writing is
pleasing.

That Tired Feeling
Afflicts nearly every one in the spring.
The system having become accustomed
to the bracing air of winter, is weakened
by the warm days of the changing season
and readily yields to attacks of disease.
Hood's Sarsiiparilla is just the medicine
needed. It tones and builds up every
part of the body, and also expels all im­
purities from the blood. Try it this sea­
son.
For lame back, side or chest, use Sbiloh's
Poroiis Plaster. Price 25 cents. Dorr & Wold.
Were all wise enough to heed this advice in
seafon, a world of suffering-would be avoided.
The-best months in which to take Hood's
Sarsaparilla, tbe great blood purifier, are
March April May
At no other season is the body so much in
need of, or so susceptible to the benefit to be
derived from Hood's Sarsaparilla, as now.
Tbe impoverished condition of the blood, the
weakening effects of the long, cold winter, the
lost appetite, and that tired feeling, all make
a good spring medicine absolutely necessary.
Tty Hood's Sarsaparilla and you will be con­
vinced that it is tbe ideal spring medicine.
