Mr. Spoopeadjke and th* Dot.
“Look here, my deer,” said Mr.
bpoopendyke, aa he ted a huge and
•baggy dog into his wifcvtfT°bm, “I’ v ®
got a dog a friend of mine gave me.
What do yon think of him f”
''Good graciousr ejaculated Mrs.
Bpoopendyke, mounting a chair in dis
may, "fa he mad?”
• - ‘jjfa, Mrs. Bpoopendyke,’’retorted h*
hnebaad, “he wot only isn’t mad. hst
he n’t a ste\ -adder either, Dora brrsV
eye view. He's a dog, and, if you-den’t
get oat of that chair, he’ll probably bite
yciar legs off.”
Mrs. Bpoependake sat Aawn on ler
feet and eyed the brute with sodas trupi
dation.
“May'e he’s got the fcydr rphcbia,”
he suggested, by way of a 'hearty wel
<eome.
“P’raps he has,” agreed "Mr. Spocp
•endyke; “but, if he has, ‘lie’s got it- in
his pocket. Comehpre, doggee,
doggee 1” and Mr. Spoqpsudyke snapped
his lingers persuasively.
“Why ilou’t he come when yon cad
him f” asked Mrs. Spoet>endvke, deeply
interested in the prooeedings.
‘ ‘ Because you make such a dod gasted
'Boise you scare him,” explained Mr.
Bpoopendyke. ’“Gome, doggee, doggee,
•doggee !”
“ I don’t quits like the way liis tongue
bangs out,” objected Mrs. Bpoopendyke.
“ It don't 10-ik natural.”
“Maybe you don't like the way Ids
tail hangs out,-either. P'raps you think
-that’s artificial, too. With your infor
mation about-dogs you only need a slat
bottom and a broken hinge to lie a dog
pound. Keep quiet now, while I teach
him some tricks. Come here, doggee !
Sit up, sir! ”
The dog stretched out his legs, opened
a mouth like a folding bedstead and
growled.
“ What makes him do that?” asked
Mrs. Bpoopendyke, sitting on the back
of a chair with her feet in the seat.
“ Dod gast it 1 ” howled Mr. Spoop
endyke. “ Who do you s’posa made
}■' \do it? Think he works on a wire ?
a notion he goes by steam? Be
\ I tell ye, lie’s alive, and he does
•ause that’s the bent of his measly
What are ye sitting up there
... t Can’t ye see he don’t like it?
Now, you sit still. Here doggee, dog-
See, good doggee. Bit up and beg ! ” and
Ir. Bpoopendyke held up an admoni
tory finger.
The dog eyed Mr. Spoopendyke with
anything but an assuring glance.
“ He’s hungry,” suggested Sirs.
Bpoopendyke. “ JDogs do like that
when they want to be taken down in the
yard and bo led.”
“Of course you know,” grumbled Mr.
Bpoopendyke. “All you want is per
fect ignorance on the part of tlio police
to be a dog light. Got anything ui the
house for him to eat ? ”
“ There’s some cold oyßter stow aud a
.piece of custard pie—”
“That’s it!” raved Mr. Spoopendyke.
“That's what’s the matter with the dog.
He wants pie ! You’ve got it. You
only need a commi'tee and a fight to be
.a bench show. Where’s the oysters?
Don’t ye see the dog pining for oysters?
Haven’t ye got some cold coffee for
him ? Give him a lemon to stay his
stomach ]” and Mr. Spoopendyke
jumped straight up in the air and landed
on the dog.
The dog made for the open air with a
howl, and Mr. Spoopendyke gathered up
twelve baskets of himself and looked af
ter his prize.
“Never mind, dear,” said Mrs.
Bpoopendyke, soothingly, “he’ll come
back.”
“If he does I’ll kill him,” shouted
Mr. Bpoopendyke. “Bee what you’ve
done. You made me lose my dog
and torn my trousers. Anything
non about dogs you don’t know ? Get
any more intelligence to impart about
dogs? All you want is a bucket of
brandy around your neck and a snow
storm to be a monk of St. Bernard,”
with which logical conclusion Mr.
Bpoopendyke began exploring his out
lying districts for possible bites, while
his wife speculated upon the salvation
of the cold oysters and the custard pie
by the sudden and eminently satis
factory disaffection of the dog.—Brook

How Grant Got Into the Army.
Several persons hare laid claim to the
credit of bringing Gen. Grant out dur
ing the late war; but, in the light of
truth, no man lmd more tc do with tlio
matter and has less to say about it than
John E. Smith, present Colonel in the
United States army, at Fort Douglas,
Utah. Grant had gone down to Cincin
nati to get a position us Captain on Mc-
Clellan’s staff, and liad failed in the ef
fort. One day Dick Y'ates, on whoso
staff Col. Smith was serving, entered the
gubernatorial office swearing like a
trooper, as he was wont to do when oc
casion demanded.
“ What’s the matter, Governor?” said
Smith.
• * Matter enough !” replied Yates. ‘‘ 1
have been trying to find a man that has
sense enough to muster those fellows in
(pointing in the direction of the bar
racks), and I’ll be cussed if I can do it.”
“I know a man who will fill the bill
exactly,” eagerly replied Smith, who had
taken a great interest in Grant, not only
because he was his fellow-townsman, but
because he had discovered in him genius
of more than ordinary nature.
“ Who is he ?” said Gov.. Yates.
“Capt. Grant, of Galena,” replied the
Colonel.
“ Can we get him to take hold and
help us out?” inquired Yates.
Smith replied that he (Grant) was
eager to enter the army, and that he
would accept almost any position that
might be offered him.
“ Then write him at once—no, tele
graph him—to come down at once—on
the first train,” said Gov. Yates, with an
air of relief, and a message was forward
ed to Grant, who replied in person on
. the following day, when he was set to
work as mustering officer, entirely re
lieving the Governor thereafter from
further anxiety. Grant was subsequently
appointed to the command of the
Twenty-first regiment, stationed at Mat
toon, and his liistory from that time on
is familiar to almost every man, woman
and child on the face of the globe.—

Weather Wisdom.
When you wish to know what the
weather is to be, go ont and select the
smallest cloud you see. Keep your eye
upon it, and if it decreases and disap
pears it shows a state of the air which
is sure to be followed by fine weather;
but if it increases in size, take your
great coat with vou if you are going
from home, for falling weather is not far
off, The reason is this: When the air
is becoming charged with electricity you
will see every cloud attracting all lesser
ones toward it, until it gathers into
a shower; and, on the contrary, when
the fluid is passing off, or diffusing it
self, then a large cloud will be seen
breaking into pieces and dissolving.

For neuralgia in the face and other
acute suffering elsewhere the follow ing
remedy has been tried with good effect :
Cut a thick slice of bread across the
loaf—fresh bread is best. Boak one side
for a minute in boiling water, and rap
idly sprinkle cayenne pepper over the
hot side. Apply, while still smoking
hot, to the painful surface. The bread
retains the heat long enough for the
cayenne to begin to act, aud cayenne
does not affect delicate skins as mustard
does. It acts as a rubefacient, but not
a blister. Another excellent remedy for
congestion from cold is to apply a poul
tice of flaxseed meal and cayenne pep
per. By keeping a bit of oil or the
outside of the poultice-cloth it will re
tain both heat and moisture for a long
lame.
Inorovting toe-nails are caused by the
iniproj>er manner of cutting the nail
(generally of the great toe), and then
wearing a short, badly-made shoe. The
nail, beginning to grow too long and
rather wide at the comers, is trimmed
around the comer, which gives tem
porary relief. But it then begins to
grow wider in the side where it was cut
off, and, as the shoe presses the flesli
against the comer, the nail cuts more
and more into the raw flesli, which be
comes exceedingly tender and irritable.
If this state continues long the toe be
comes more and more painful and
ulcerated, and proud flesh sprouts up
from the sorest points. Walking greatly
increases the suffering till positive rest
becomes indispensable. To treat in-
g owing toe-nails, proceed as follows :

There is immediately a moderate sensa
tion of pain or burning. In a few min
utes the tender surface is felt to lie dried
up, tanned or mummified, and it ceases
to be painful. The patient who could
not put his foot to the floor now (lads
that he can walk without pain. By per
mitting the hardened, wood-like flesh
to remain two or three weeks, it can
easily be removed by soaking the foot in
warm water. If thereafter the nails be
cut no more around the corners or sides,
but always cut in across the front end,
they in future grow forward, and by
wearing shoes of a reasonably-good size
and shape all future trouble will be
avoided.

Tbe True Story of the Cuckoo.
Oar correspondent whose interesting
•CKnmunieation on cuckoo lore appeared
last week is at fault in stating that the
young cuckoo turns out its fellow-nest
lings from a love of supremacy, and that
the young birds expelled are smaller than
itself. Being usually hatched before the
cuckoo, they are generally of equal size,
and rather larger than the intruder; aud
their expulsion is necessary for his due
nourishment by the miniature foster
parent. In fact, when, as sometimes
happens, two cuckoos are hatched in one
nest, they endeavor each to expel the
other; aud in oiie case observed by Herr
Adolph Muller, and described in Der
Zoologieche Garten for October, 18<>8,
the smaller succeeded in expelling the
larger. But we will let Mrs. Biackurn
relate her own account of what she saw:
The u.-st twhich we watched last June,
after finding the cuckoo’s egg in it) was
that of the common meadow-pipit (titlark,
mosscheepes), and had two pipit’s eggs
beside that of the cuckoo. It was below
a heather-bush, on the declivity of a
low, abrupt bank on a Highland hill-side
in Moidart.
At one visit the ray its were found to
be hatched, but not the cuckoo. At the
next visit, which was after an interval of
forty-eight hours, a* found the youug
cuckoo alone in the nest, and both the
young pipits lying down tlio hank, about
ten incites from the margin of the nest,
but quite lively after being warmed in
the hand. They were replaced in tho
nest beside the cuckoo, which struggled
about till it got its back under one of
them, when it climbed backward directly
up the open side of the nest, aud pitched
the pipit from its hack on to the edge.
It then stood quit* l upright on its legs,
which were straddled wide apart, with
tho claws firmly fixed half way down
the inside of the nest, among the inter
lacing fibers of winch the nest was
woven; and, stretohiug its wings apart
and backward, it elbowed the pipit fairly
over the margin so far that its struggle’s
took it down the bank instead of back
into the nest.
After this the cuckoo stood a minute
or two, feeling back with its wings, us if
to make sure that the pipit was fairly
overboard, and then subsided into tho
bottom of tho nest.
As it was getting late, and the cuckoo
did not immediately set to work on the
other nestling, I replaced the ejected
one, and went homo. On returning next
day, both nestlings were found dead and
cold, out of the neat. I replaced one of
them, but the cuckoo made no effort to
get under and eject it, but settled itself
contentedly on the top of it. All this I
find aeeords accurately with Jenuer’s
description of what he saw. But what
struck me most was this; the cuckoo was
perfectly uaked, without a vestige of a
feather, or even a hint of futuro feathers;
its eyes were not yet opened, aud its
neck seemed too weak to support the
weight of its head.
The pipits had well-developed quills
on the wings and back, and had bright
eyes, partially open; yet they seemed
quite helpless under the manipulations
#f the cuckoo, which looked a much less
developed creatnre. Tho cuckoo’s legs,
however, neemed very muscular, and it
appeared to feel about its wings,
which were absolutely foatlierless, as
with hands, the “spurious wing” (un
usually large in proportion) looking like
a spread-out thumb. The most singular
tiling of all was tho direct purpose with
which the blind little monster made for
tho open side of die nest, tho only part
where it could throw its burden down
the hank. I think all the spectators felt
the sort of horror and awe at the apparent
inadequacy of the creature's intelligence
to its acts that one might have felt at
seeing, a toothless hag raise a ghost by
an iucantatiou. It was horribly “un
canny” and “grpw-some.”— The Queen.
A Lazy Man’s Defense.
Not • thousand miles from St. An
thony, Minn.—and not very many years
ago—a certain physician, from New
Hampshire, went to work getting up
and organizing a Lazy Man’s Club, and
'he hod good success. The club was
duly constituted ; its by-laws adopted ;
and, cluof of all, its 1 aider looked after.
The chief law—really the law that
formed the distinctive feature of the
club was this ; Any member whe
should be proved guilty of having been
in a hurry— i. c., of having allowed any
thing under the sun to cause him to
hasten a movement of body or mind
should he fined an amount sufficient to
pay for a supper for the club.
The first man accused, and brought
forward for trial, was the President and
organizer of the club himself Dr.
Haskett Eastman. The court was duly
organized ; the complaint read ; and the
witnesses summoned. It was proved—
first- -that a boy was seen to call at East
man’s office door and deliver a message;
and it was known that said messenger
reported on that occasion, a case of sick
ness, aud begged that the doctor would
make haste. Next—it was proved to
several reliable witnesses that Dr. East
man was seen, very shortly after the de
livery of that message, driving through
the city “like lightning !” winch plainly
signified that he. was in a tremendous
hurry. Aye, clearly enough, lie had
willfully violated the fundamental law of
the society!
But Eastman called witnesses in his
own behalf. He called two grooms,
both of whom swore that the horse which
he used on that occasion was a head
strong, hard-bitted, high-mettled beast,
that would “streak it off like blazes
if ye’d only let her.”
And Dr. Eastman claimed that lie had
not hurried an atom. His horse hud
hurried, but not he. In no way, manner
or shape liad he made any haste.
“But,” said the Judge Advocate-,
“ you could have held that horse in—
you could have prevented the beast from
tearing away in such a hurry ?”
“Certainly. I could have done that
very easily.”
“ And why didn’t you do it?”
“Why—didn’t—l—do—it 1” The
doctor repeated the words in amazement.
“Doit! Hold in my horse? What are
you thinking of ? Had I done tliat, you
might well have mulcted me; but I
didn’t. The fact was—l was too lazy to
do it! I was just that lazy, torpid, su
pine and utterly lifeless, on that occa
sion, tliat the headstrong beast might
have killed me, and I wouldn’t have put
forth effort enough to hold her in 1”
We will simply add that the club did
not get a supper at their President’s ex
pense on tliat occasion.— New York

United States Flagship Nomad, 1
Navy Yard, Boston, Mass., >
January 10,18 S-. )
SIH dear Friend—Your kind favor con
taining congratulations on my restoration to
health is before me. When we parted thirty
months ago little did we imagine that either
would be brought near death’s door by a dis
ease which selects for its victims those who
present an internal field of constitutional
weakness for its first attack, because you and
I were in those days the personification of
health —and can claim this to-day,thank God!
Why I can do so will be told to-morrow,when
we meet at your dinner, as you only know
that I have passed through a terrible illness;
my delivery' from death being due to the
wonderful discovery in medical science,
made by a man who to-day stands in the
front rank of his fellow workers—unequaled
by any in my own opinion. That I, who
heretofore have ever been the most orthodox
believer in the old school of medicine, its
application and results, should thus recant
in favor of that which is sneered at by old
practitioners, may startle you, but “seeing is
believing,” and when I recount the attack
made on my old hulk, how near I came to
lowering my colors, and the final volley
which, through tbj agency above mentioned,
gave me victory, yon will atyeast credit me
with just cause for sincerity in my thankful
ness and belief. I will ulso spin my yarn
anent my T China cruise, and altogether,. ex
pect to entertain as well as be entertained
by you. With, best wishes,
Sincerely yours,
Rear Admiral U. S. Navy.
Hon. George Wf.sdfli,, '
Sinclair Place, Boston.
An autumnal afternoon in the year ISA
found the taut flagship Nomad rounding
the treacherous and dangerous extremity of
South America. And this day certainly in
tended to placo itself on record with those of
its predecessors marked stormy, its nasti
ness in wind and weather giving all hands
on beard the flagship their fill in hard work
and discomforts. The record of ihe Nomad
(ui this cruise, which she was now complet
ing on her homeward bound passage to Bos
ton, had been most disagreeable, when con
sidered in the light of heavy weather work.
From Suez to Aden, then on to Bombay,
Point de Gallo, Singapore, Hong Kong,
Shanghai, Nagasaki and Yokohama, the
balance sheet stood largely in favor of old
Neptun ’s rough characteristics, but with
remarkable evenness the health and original
roster of the ship’s company stood this day
as it did nearly three years ago—with one
exception. Throughout tho div< rso and
varied exposures incidental to cruising over
the Asiatic station, where cholera, fevers,
liver complaints, malaria, and colds of all
degrees reign in full force, none of the crew
had suffered more than temporary incon
venience. and thus it soemod very hard that
now, in the closing days of the cruise, there
stood nine chances fo* to one against, a vic
tory being at last scored for the destroying
angel Death. When’ the Noniad readied
Shanghai in the earlybortiou of her cruise
her admiral was tho .healthiest man aboard.
A grand specimen of nanhood was he. Over
six feet in height, weighing two hundred
rounds, broad in ches and strong in limb,
he rightly claimed for limself a full share of
Nat ure’s blessings. V bile returning late one
night from a diplo Jdic reception at the
Consulate at Shangh i, through overheat
ing and insufficient pi tection from the dan
gerous effects of tli! peculiar damp and
starching night air. h caught cold. “Only
a cold,” remarked the dmiral to the doctors
of his ship, “and ensyjto cure.” So thought
tlis medical officers, b t with n quiet though
insidious progression, his cold clung to tne
admiral in spits of th< t best efforts to erad
icate it, and when the (me came for leaving
Yokohama, homeward pund, tho admiral le
alized that his lungs ant throat were decid
edly out of order. Thv doctors advised re
turning home by mail learner to San Fran
cisco, so that greater aeans for curing this
uorsistent cough mi it he found in th*
Naval Hospital there; ut the admiral pre
ferred to stick to his flip, still imagining
that his troublo wouli eventually be over
come by the doctors’ Satment.
No one who looked tho admiral even in
those days imagined that he would fall a
victim to lung trouble!/But it was the old
story again typiiiedhfc this case. Only a
•-old at first; and in s' re of orthodox treat
nent the iieculiar effects of China
lursed it, and hastens/ the sure result of
inch a deep-seated troufie. Time passed after
•eaving Yokobnma for Boston, bringing
varying symptoms in theadiniral’s case, and
the doctors imagined th:; they held the dis
ease in check at least, kt with the forma
tion of tubercles, night-weats and tho now
rapid consumption of ltig tissues, whioh
had set. in witli alarmingsymptoms, the pa
tient realized that his col liad laid the Becds
of thnt fell agent of B-Rth, consumption.
The hacking cough of no ndmiral had in
itself been sufficient footfor serious consid
eration, and now, as ii the warm autumn
days tho flagship gallaitly rode over the
blue waters of the Pacifl, bound for Cape
Horn, the doctors hope.' ouch for suocess.
But this boisterous nflcl Lon found thegood
ship struggling witli H-antic seas set off
from the Cape by a fist's northerly wind.
Leaueu wore tho hen sns and sad th3
hearts of all aboard, for tliat morning the
usual bulletin of the /ucdcnl officers had set
forth this intelligence: ‘O’ho admiral is in
same condition as reported last night. A
burning feier has been slightly reduced,
while other symptoms nr<> as heretofore an
n -nnced.” All understood these words
without questioning. Tbs beloved admiral
had during the post two w> ekssunk very low.
The symptoms of blood-prisoning, a torpid
liver, intense pains throtghout the body,
eyesight and mental faculties affected, arpe
tite gone, through inaction of that great reg
ulator—the liver. This.' were tho means
which had reduced the admiral from the
pinneie of health to the vntl y and shadow of
death. Consumption held full sway now,
and the well-known skill f ravnl doctors
was in this instance at ! ast completely
foiled.
The admiral had issued or ers for the flag
ship to touch at Moiitevidec tor coal, and it
was the intention of tho doctors fo land tho
admiral there for treatment. Bnt one man
in the stop was wrapped in tie gloom of de
spair, as standing by the weather rigging on
the pcop deck Tie gazed absently over tlio
seething waste of waters. Tiis was the ad
miral’s son, a lieutenant, a:d attache 1 to
his father’s staff. He feared that the wear
aud tear of ship life would s.ip his father’s
strength beyond endurance, aud before the
ship could reach Montevideo. Among a
gronp of sailors gathered around one of the
great guns on the spar deck stcolthe captain
of the foretop, Brown, a slight but healthy
looking man. His companions were listen
ing to a recital of liis sufferings from con
sumption, which had developed while he was
attached to the sloop-of-war Hanger, lying
in the harbor of Yokohama a year ago, this
“yam” having been started by a discussion
about the admiral’s condition. Tho men had
just returned from some work around the
deck, an order for which liad interrupted
Brown’s story a few moments previously.
“ A year ago this day I was hove to in the
“pill man’s’ sick bay in the Hanger, then off
Yokohama, an’ I tell you, pards, ’twag no
use pipin’ my number, ’cause I was nigh on
passin’ in my enlistment papers for a long
cruise aloft,” continued Brown. “Con
sumption had me flat aback, and the doctor
says it was no use to slow away his lush in
my hold seem’ tiiat my bellows was con
demned by a higher power than he could
wrastle with.”
“How did you pucker out of it?” asked a
gunner’s mate.
“Wa’all,” replied Brown, “my Chinee
washman came to me one momin’ an’ he
says to me, “me habgot allee same Melioaa
man medikin, do you heap good!’ I says,
‘bring it off, Chang; 1 buy all the same.’
That afternoon Chang hove up with fourteen
bottles of a lush, enough to kill or cure the
whole ship’s crew, an’ that looked fresh in
Jtheir nice wrappers. Says Chang. ‘China
map doctor hab got plentee more, ho make
heap good well with my sick, this number
one mediken allee same through Yokohama.’
Wa’all, I took the bottles an’ told the doctor
I was goin’ to try one as by tho sailin' or
ders on the bottle, and the doctor he laughed
Und said ’twas n<# good, but I done as the
regulations says from tho first, an’ here I
am, ag’in tho doctor’s ideas to be sure!* 9
> With this triumphant assertion Brown
looked about the circle. Then, lowering his
voice, said: “Boys, I’ve four of those
precious bottles left —ain’t give ’em all
away yet after I was cured—an' if you all
think that it would not be too free with the
‘old man,’ suppose I go to his son there on
the poop deck an’ say what I have to you,
an’ askin’ his pardon, say we want the ad
miral to try the stuif in my bottles, seein’
that they cured my consumption.”
This idea met witn apprortf all
sides. Therefore Brown walketi 'K tor an
interview with the admiral’s sum with no
little anxiety in his good heart l: SO the re
sult of his mission. Approaching tne lieu
tenant, Brown saluted, and asked for per
mission to state his reasons for doing so.
This was readily granted, and Brown spoke
out.
“Seeing that I was once cured of con
sumption, lieutenant, I make bold to ask
if I can tell you how, an’ why I’ve the rea
sons for wishing you to use on your father
what was my salvation.”
In a few moments the lieutenant had
Brown’s story out, and much to tlio latter’s
gratification, granted a ready permission to
him. It did not take Brown long to run to
his ditty box, get the bottles of medicine,
and return to the lieutenant with them.
“ I’m afeared that the doctors will kica
ag’in the use of this blessed stuff, an’
what will you do, sir,” said Brown, as he
placed the medicine in the cabin orderly’s
brads to be taken into the admiral’s room.
“ I will attend to that, Brown, and rest as
sured that your remedy will have a fair trial
in spite of any opposition. It will not harm
my father, judging from your statement and
the opinion of the Medical officers of the
Hanger.” . , . •
“ Thank you, sir, an* God help the admiral
to weather hie trouble, is the prayer of all
the ship,” said Brown, as the lieutenant
turned to enter tho cabin.
There was no cessation in the storm that
evening. The pale howled through the rig
ging in wild, discordant tones; the great ship
labored through the white-capped moun
tains of water threatened to engulph her
with each burst of their Btorm-whipi>ed
crests. Within the admiral’s cabin the Ar
gand lights, the comfortable furniture, and
the numerous evidences of the admiral’s
wanderings over land and water, as displayed
in choico bric-a-brac aud trimmings, gave
to the room a warm, snug appearance, most
pleasing this wild night to those within. In
his stateroom lay ttie admiral, made com
fortable by all that loving hands and willing
hearts could suggest. By his side sat liis
son, who in qniet voice was recounting to
his father tho interview with Brown, and the
opposition met with from the doctors when
the idea of giviug ibis new medicine was
broached.
“ You were sleeping at the time, father,
aud therefore missed n laughable scene,
made so, in spite of your condition, by the
intense dislike displayed by the doctors for
this ‘new-faugied striiY.' this ‘patent liquid,’
which they declared with their consent
should never be given to yon. Well, I cut
the matter short by saying that I would take
all the responsibility, and with your permis
sion would administer it. That I obtained
when I found you awake, and now you are
under way with the first bottle as per-direc
tions. I am satisfied, dear father, that it
will do you good, a premonition filling my
heart that at last we have found the means
of arresting the burning fever and hacking
congh which have been troubling you so
much.”
Tho admiral’s reply was cut short by a
severe spell of coughing, during which he
spat blood, and when finished sank back ex
hausted. But the grateful look which he be
stowed on his son was an additional assur
ance of belief in that which the admiral had
at first sight dubbed as a possible bnt doubt
ful means of doing him any good. Bnt lay
ing aside liis dislike for any but old-estab
lished remedies, the admiral acqnicsced in
his son’s request, and now, after this last
spell, admitted that tho effect of the dose
had softened the dreaded severity of the
racking cough.
K- * *****
Three weeks later found the Nomad mak
ing the harbor of Montevideo. After Fevere
and prolonged weather she lmd rounded (he
Cape and was now standing in tlio harbor
for the purpose of recoaling and watering.
To one given to the study of human linea
ments the faces of those aboard the flagship
this bright morning would hnvc afforded in
finite scope for Biicli pursuit. But the source
of each man’s happiness flowed from the
same fountain of gi aleful joy. The beloved
admiral was the cause of this. And why?
If you could have seen the admiral this
bright morning, dear reader, your answer
wonld have been easily found in his faoe. A
ohauged man was he. Victory was perched
on his guidons! the dread enemy was s!owly
retreating! The fight was a severe one, but
with no cessation in vigilant action and care
ful application of tne contents of four
bottles the ndmiral had turned tho flank of
consumption, and was slowly bnt surely
driving him off the field with n power whioh
astounded the doctors and filled all heart*
with joy and thankfulness.
What was this then flint had won tho Vlo
lory for the seaman Brown, and was now
leading the admiral'sulmth-ied forces to the
same grand result? When aiked this ques
tion by one of liis officers on duty, in Mon
tevideo, the ndmiral, Blowly lifting his hand,
replied, “I wonld that in letters of gold, and
so placed that all the world could read them,
the name of this great remedy coold be
shown, coupled with the genius who discov
ered it—‘The Golden Medical Dtsoovkbxl
Ur. Fierce, of Buffalo, N. Y.,' the man who
ias given to his fellow men the greatest re
lief from all ills that mortal flesh is heir tol”
“ This is the name of the contents of that
bottle on my table, and God bless the man
who hns found tho secret of filling it with a
niodicine at once purifying and strengthen
ing, wholosouie and thorough in its results,
and claiming, in my humble opinion, noth
ing for itself thnt it eaunot reasonably per
forin. Nature's ally against tlio übuse of
man!”
Well might tho admiral sing Ihe praises of
that which had so unexpectedly rescued him
from a fatal illness.
A week later and the Nomad Bailed for
Boslon direct. Whnt tho condition of tho
admiral was when she arrivod there is shown
in his letter above.
The foregoing, render, is an outline of the
story, spun by tho admiral to his friend when
they met at the dinner. We will not touch
on other portions of liis interesting recital
of his ernise in general, our aim being to re
cord his testimony for the greatest wonder
in medical science that this nineteenth cen
tury of surprising developments has pro
duced.
From tho wonderful power of Dr. Fierce’*
Golden Medical Discovery over that terribly
fatal disease, consumption, which is ccrotula.
of the lungs, when first offering tliia now
world-famed remedy to tho publio, Drv.
Pierce (iiought favorably of calling it his
“consumption cure,” but abandoned that
Dame as too restrictive for a medicine that
from ite wonderful combination of germ-de
stroying, as well as tonie, or strengthening,
alterative or blood-cleansing, anti-bilious,
diuretic, pectoral and nutritive properties,
is unequalod, not only as a remedy for con
sumption of the lungs, bat for all chronic
diseases of the liver, blood, kidneys and
lungs. Golden Medical Discovery cures nil
humors, from the worst scrofula to a com
mon blotch, pimple or eruption. Erysipe
las, salt-rheum, fever-sores, scaly or rough
skin, in short, all diseases caused by disease
germs in the blood, are conquered by this
powerful, purifying and invigorating medi
cine. Great eating ulcers rapidly heal onder
its benign influences. Especially has it
manifested its potency in curing tetter, rose
rash, boils, carbuncles, sore eyes, scrofulous
sores and swellings, white swellings, goitre
or thick neck, and enlarged glands.
“The blood is the life.” 'Thoroughly
cleanse this fountain of health by using
Golden M( dieal Discovery, and good diges
tion, a fair skin, buoyant spirits, vital
strength and soundness of constitution are
established.
For weak lungs, spitting of blood, short
breath, consumptive night-sweats and kin
dred affections, it is a sovereign remedy. In
tile cure of bronchitis, severe coughs and
consumption, it has astonished the medical
faculty, and eminent physicians pronounce
it the greatest medical discovery of the age.
The nutritive properties by cod
liver oil are trifling when compared with
those of the Golden Medical Discovery. It
rapidly builds up the system and increased
Ihe flesh and weight of those reduced below
the usual standard of health by wasting dis
eases.
* * r. * # *
The reader will pardon the foregoing di
gression, prompted by our admiration for a
remedy that performs such marvelous cures,
and permit us to say that when the admiral
returned to his home in New York the only
cloud cast upon the happiness of the reunion
with his family was caused by the continued
illness of his eldest son, a young man of
twenty-four, whose disease, when the ad
miral sailed from Montevedio, had been re
ported as succumbing to tho treatment of
the family doctor. But his father thought it
otherwise; the unfortunate young man was
suffering severely from chronic disease of
tho kidneys and bladder. Before leaving
Boston the admiral had purchased a copy of
Dr. Pierce’s book, “The People’s Common
Sense Medical Adviser.” He read this val
uable book thoroughly, and upon his arrival
home had made up hie mind as to the future
treatment for Jiis sen. The latter was sent
to the famous Invalids' Hotel, at Buffalo, N.
Y., conducted by Dr. R. V. Fierce, and his
competent staff of speciahste, where, under
skillful treatment, the sufferer soon found
relief and a permanent cure..
In the library of his handsome home the
admiral placed one of the four bottles sent
him by the seaman Brown. Cons) i ruous in
its pretty frame and stand it attracts all
eyes, which can easily read the lines in
golden letters inscribed on the tablet under
the stand as follows: “ This bottle once
contained the ammunition which secured
for Admiral the victory in his battle off
Cape Horn with the enemy consumption.
His undying gratitude is thus shown for that
which this bottle and its mates held.”
The Senator’s Wife.
A lady correspondent of the Cincin
nati Commercial gives the following in
cident as having occurred in the Senate
gallery:
Two women struggling for a place
nearest the door got into a fight. One
was a Senator’s wife. Not being able tc
crowd into the gallery set apart for Sen
ators’ wives, she pushed through the
throng at the door of the ladies’ gallery.
“Let me in,” she demanded of the door
keeper, and handed him her card. Nc
response. “Senators have passed as
many as sixteen ladies apiece into the
Senatorial gallery, consequently people
who belong there are pushed out.” She
was very angry. “I wonder how many
Senators here own to having sixteen
wives.” “Madame, take your arms
away! You knocked me in the chest. I
expected to find ladies here. I nevei
was in so uncouth a set. Keepyoui
elbow out of my chest, madam! I won’t
stand such treatment! I will stick a pir
in you!”
To the surprise and amusement of by
standers, the Senator’s wife produced s
pin, and threatened to bury it to the
head in the first one who touched her.
Presently a surge in the crowd threw s
lady against the defiant Senator’s wife.
She turned with her pin ready to put
her threat into execution, but was met
by a long bonnet pin in the hand of the
intruder. “Only in self-defense,” the
lady said, laughingly. The Senator’s
wife continued her abuse and vulgar ha
rangue until the Sergeant-at-Arms had to
be called. In the excitement she slipped
through the unguarded door into the
gallery, and was lost in the inner throng,
and got by fraud what we who were
abiding by rules had to wait for, some ol
us. for over two hours.”
Amusing Blunders.
Blunders on public occasions are often
as mortifying as they are amusing. For
instance:
At a military dinner in Ireland, the
following was on the toaßt-list: “May
the man who has lost one eve in the
glorious service of his beloved country
never see distress with tho other.” But
the person whose duty it was to read
the toast accidentally omitted the word
" distress,” which completely changed
the Bentiment, and caused no end of
merriment by the blunder.
Another instance may be quoted, if
only to show how careful people should
be in expressing themselves on public
occasions :
A church in Bouth London had been
erected, when a dinner was given, at the
conclusion of which the health of the
builder was proposed, when ho rather
enigmatically replied that he was “more
fitted for the scaffold than for publio
•peaking. ”

How to Secure Health.
It seems strange that any one will suffer from the
many derangements brought on by an impure con
dition of the blood when ltosadalis will restore per
fect health to the physical organization. It is the
best Blood Purifier ever discovered,effectually curing
Scrofula, Syphilitic disorders, Weakness of the Kid
neys, Erysipelas, Malaria, all nervous disorders and
Debility, Bilious Complaints and all diseases indicat
ing an impure condition of the Blood. Liver, Kidneys,
Stomach, etc. It corrects indigestion, single bottle
will prove to you its merits as a health renewer, for it
acts like a charm, especially when the complaint is
of an exhaustive nature, having a tendency to lessen
the natural vigor of the brain and nervous system.

Voluntary Tributes of C.ratitude for Bene,
fits Received.
DBAn Sir—Plenso allow me the privilege of giving mj
testimony regarding tho wonderful curative properties
of yonr invaluable medicine, Hunt's Remedy. During
the past six or seven years I have been a great suffers!
from kidney disease, and daring a great part of the tims
my sufferings have been so intense as to be indescribr
able. Only those who have suffered by this dread disease
know of the awful backache, and pains of all kinds,
accompanied by great weakness and nervous prostration,
loss of force and ambition which invariably attend it.
I bad all these troublos intensified, and was m such a
bad condition that I could not get up out of my chAir
except by putting my hands on my knees, and almost
rolling out before I could straighten up. I tried the best
doctors, and many kinds of medicine, but all failed to
help mo, and I experimented so long endeavoring to get
cured that last spring I was in vory poor shape, and in
a -eking for relief my attention was directed by a friend
to tho remarkable cures of kidney diseases, etc., which
tvere being accomplished by Hunt’s Remedy. I was in.
duced to try it, and began to take it, and very soon
"limbered up,” as it were; my severe backache and
m intense pains I had suffered so long speedily dis
appeared, notwithstanding I bad been bothered with
this complaint so many years.
When I began to take Hunt’s Remedy I was consid
erably run down in my general health, and suffered also
from loss of appetite. Ever since I have been taking the
Remedy, however, my improvement has been most
marked; my former complaint?, aches, pains, etc., have
disappeared, and I now feel like my former self, hale,
hearty and sound in health. I shall always keep Hunt’s
Remedy with me, and would most earnestly recommend
all those who arc sufferers from Kidney or Liver dis
eases, or diseases of tho Bladder <>r_Urinary organs, to
ase Hunt’s Remedy, and take no other! - ''
