Many pieces of bone came out of the right loot and leg. The case was the upro nounced one of White Swelling. After hav ing been confined about six years to her bed, and the case considered hopeless, I was in duced to try Dr. Pemberton’s Compound Ex tract of Stillingia, and was so well satisfied with its effects that I have continued use of the it until the present.

Greeting and Congenial Salutations from The Detroit Free Press. From the unlimited words of praise that have been bestowed upon it, the conclusion is fixed that The Detroit Free Press is the most popular journal in existance. Not that it has the greatest circulation —though for that matter Few papers have a more extended one—but that the most profound affection for it exists among those who read and know its merits. Certain it is that no journal contains so many attractive qnd original features. Enjoyable in the highest degree, its tone is the purest, its literary standard tne most ex cellent. It combines to a surprising extent in its well-filled pages the grace, learning, wit, hu mor, versatility and genius of the American people. Unique among newspapers, sprightly and readable in every portion—it is edited with so much tact, intelligence and care, that readers of every class find it, above all others, the one that satisfies! Varied are its departments and it.) contents— the whole a most judicious combination. If any one may liken intellectual to material things its field of story, poetry, correspon dence, anecdote, wit, humor, sentiment, histo ry, belles letters, knowledge in its illimitable extent—may be compared to a well ordered banquet. And around this superb feast in all its completeness bounteously laid with contri butions from every clime, sits the blessed spirit of fraternity and good fellowship! And then “The Household,” the bright, sym pathetic and kindly “Household!” No de scription should be offered of “The Household;” ic is a feature original and unsurpassed, and none can fail to appreciate it.

English, democratic nominees for president and vice-president of the United States. Wo gave sketches of the lives of the distinguished gentleman in our issue of July 1. Watching With Christ. [Sunday-School Times.] Wiiy did our Lord want his disci ples to watch with him that night In tne garden? It was not to witness his agony, for he went on beyond them. It was not to share his con flict, for this they could not do. We talk about sharing each other’s sor rows and struggles, but, as a matter of fact, there is no such thing as com panionship in living. We may re ceive counsel from friends; we may be cheered and nerved by them ; but periences. Others may hold the lamp of comfort to shine upon the gloom of our sorrows, but thesorrows them selves no one can share. When we are struggling in temptation human or angelic friends may minister to us, but we must fight the buttle alone. Lives are like drops of water, they touch at a few points, but remain for ever separate. The picture we see in the garden is a picture of all life. The disciples could not share the Master’s agony. Yet while we must meet life’s ex periences absolutely alone, we want our friends near to us when we pass through sorrow or conflict. And this is what we see in Gethsemane. The disciples could not shield the Master from his woe. They could not light en the awful burden by so much as a feather’s weight; nor drink one drop of the hitter cup which was being pressed to his lips; yet he wanted them near- He took them with him that while he endured his intense grief he might know that his dearest friends were not far away. This was why he arose three times from his struggle and went hack to them. He wanted to gather a little strength from their sympathy and love. There are human experiences that will help us to understand this longing of Christ for the nearness of his friends in that hour. A child does uot like to go to bed alone in a dark room; but when some sits near all dread passes away. Or it awakes in the night while the storm rages, and cries out in alarm. The father comes and lies down beside it. The sform does not cease, but the little one falls asleep in sweet peace. When we who are older are passing through some sore trial, we want our tried friends to keep close to us. They cannot make the sorrow less hitter, nor take upon themselves any part of the bur den ; yet their very presence makes us leel stronger, and we want them to come closii beside us and not leave us till the trial is past. That was what our Lord wanted that night. He desired his disciples to keep near him, and wake and watch while he suffered, that he might not be altogether alone. How disappointed he was, then, when he came hack to get renewal of strength from their waking love, to fiud them asleep! It is one of the saddest ele ments in his suffering that night,that he did not even have the little help which human sympathy could have given. The practical question which arises here is, “What are the ways in which we may watch, or fail to watch, with Christ?” He wants us to watch yet with him in the attitude of friend ship. We have such thoughts of the infinite fullness and self-sufficing of Christ, in his glory, that it seems to us inconceivable that he should need or miss the little love that our hearts can give to him. Yet even in his ineffable majesty he hungers for the affection of his friends. Hancock—Gettysburg—Pennsylvania. \v nu w uift v VVho saved Philadelphia from fire and spoil? Who drove back the enemy, and who saved us from a fate of which Chambersburg and Carlisle and the forced contributions upon YYirk were intended to be grim preparations? A brave army of patriotic citizens, led by three Pennsylvania generals— George Gordon Meade, of Philadel phia ; John Fulton Reynolds, of Lan caster, and Winfield Scott, Hancock, of Montgomery. Meade and Reynolds are both gone. Meade died on the 6th of November, 1872, in the house presented to his wife by the people of Philadelphia, afterwards supple mented by a contribution of SIOO,OOO from the same source. Reynolds was killed in battle on the 2d of July, and is buried at Lancaster. Hancock is to-day the democratic candidate for president ot the United States, To shoiv how I felt at the critical moment, seventeen years ago, I re print what I wrote in the Press on Tuesday, the 7th of July, 1863, not only to prove my plain duty to Gen. Hancock, as the survivor of this glo rious triumvirate, but also the duty of all the people of Philadelphia to that incomparable soldier. I recall it at once as a personal pledge and promise, and the solemn covenant of a great community to a great soldier: “Meanwhile, the army of the Poto mac, suddenly placed under the com mand of General Meade, whom we are proud to claim as a fellow-citizen, hastened forward and fell upon the rash and tudacious enemy. We know the result. Neither our children nor our chidren’s children, to the remot est generation, shall ever forget or fail to remember it with a thrill of gratitude and honest pride. The rebels were assailed with unexam pled fury, and the gallant General Reynolds, a Pennsylvanian soldier, laid down his life. The struggle raged for several days, the losses on both sides were fearful, and still the result seemed doubtful. If we should fail, Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, perhaps New York, would be doom ed. In this crisis of the nation’s fate it was Pennsylvania that came to the rescue. It was General Hancock, a Pennsylvariiau, who so nobly bore the brunt of the battle on Cemetery Hill.” —A wheat field in Sissafras Neck, Cecil county, Maryland, which was invaded by the army worm in full force has turned out about thirty bushels to the acre. There was not a beard or blade to be seen, indica ting that the worms had done their work well. Judge Black’s Letter to Gen. Hancock. The republicans are everywhere showing a letter written to Mr. Gar field by Judge Rlack in regard to the connection with the credit mobilier fraunds. But the most favorable pos sible light in which that letter can be placed is a gloomy shade in compari son with the following letter written by the same hand to Gen. Hancock, when the celebrated order No. 40 was promulgated. The ring of this letter carries with it the warmth of the heart, whereas that to Garfield was ,I,u com work of the legal brain : V Y niJAI. IAV\A X VAV f A.T T | VVj | My Dear General This moment I read your admirable order. I am much engaged, but I cannot resist the temptation to steal time enough from clients to tell you how grateful you have made me by your noble and patriotic behavior. Yours is the first, most distinct and most emphatic recognition which the principle of American liberty has re ceived at the hands of any high offi cer in a southern command. It has the very ring of the revolutionary metal. Washington never said a thing in better taste or better time. It will prove to all men that “peace hath her victories not less renowned than those of war.” I congratulate you, not because it will make you the most popular man in America, for I dare say you care nothing about that but because it will give you through all time the solid reputation of a true patriot and a sincere lover of your country, its laws and its government. This, added to your brilliant achieve ments as a soldier, will leave you without a rival in the affections of all those whose good will is worth having, and give you a place in his tory which your childron will be proud of. This acknowledgment from me does not amount to much, but I am expressing only the feelings of mil lions, and expressing them feebly at that. With profound respect, yours, etc., J. S. Black. To Maj. Gen. Hancock. How to Keep Out Flies. A lady writes ol her experience with flies. “For three years I have lived in town, and during that time my sitting room has been free from flies, three or four only walking about ray breakfast table, while all my neighbors room were crowded. I then had occasion to move my goods to another house, while I re mained for a few days longer. Among other things moved were two bokes of geraniums and caiceo rarias, which stood in ray windows, being always open to their fullest extent, top and bottom. The boxes were not gone half an hour before my room was as full of flies as those around me. This to me, is anew discovery, and perhaps it may serve to encourage others in that which is always a source of pleasure, viz: window gardening. Mignonette planted in long shallow boxes, plac ed on the window sill, will be found excellent for this purpose. $. A. CUNNINGHAM. AT FIFTY-THREE. My feet have on the stairs remained, My limbs have yet the strength to climb; Just now another step was gained Upon the steep, rough ledge of Time. Rut cling and clamber as I may, The strength must fail which fails to all; Somewhere, I know, upon the way, I’m doomed to stumble, faint and fall. It may be that the steps, alas, Now severed from the broken stairs, Which stood but till my feet could pass, Then crashed into the vanished years— It may be those, so brief to count, Though others onward endless stretch, ere all that 1 was sent t) mount, And one, one more, I cannot reach.

It will dis pel delusions, refute slanders, estab lish converts and make votes every where.” Mr. Hill followed in a warm and earnest tril ute to his colleague, in which he praised his discretion, his sagacity and his inflexible patri otic sentiments.

But Mr. Brown never lost his balance an instant. He met them squarely, calmly and with such force and frankness that Conkling, as he sat down, said : ‘I am convinced the senator is discussing this question with fairness and candoiThe speech was a great one—not in the sense of showy or tinged eloquence, but in the depth and breadth of its statesman ship, the wealth and appositenoss of its information, and the direct and incomparable common sense and com mon justice on which it is based. I look to see Senator Brown one of the most notable men in the country if he comes back to the next session.” Senator McDonald, of Indiana, re ply* ng to my inquiry on the subject, said: “He is one of the most valuable additions to the democratic force in. the senate for years. More than that he is a senator whose influence will be felt all over the country. He seemed to recognize instantly upon coming into the senate that it was not a debating society, but strictly a practical business body. He there fore became at once a sensible,straight forward, sagacious worker, and won the confidence and esteem of both sides of the chamber. lie can boa power for good in the practical ques tions that must be settled now that sentimental issues have died out.” Altogether our new senator seems to have made himself felt in the sen ate, and to have illustrated Georgia nobly. The Great Meteor Found Imbedded in a Tree. The information conies to us that the grand meteor that so startled the community a few nights since, mak ing women shriek and strong men tremble, illuminating the the heav ens and all the earth, was found yes terday by some boys, embedded in the forks of a tree several miles from from town, in Bibb county. It seems to have fallen with great force, burying itself so deep in the tree that it had to be cut out with an axe. The meteor is about the size of a man’s head, and of an amalgama tion of iron and stone. That it is the same one that passed over oui! city a fs*v nights since there can be no doubt. It was found in the di rect line that the great meteor was seen to be going, and the substance of the meteor was bright and clear, I —Macon Herald.
