Louisville Industrial Exposition.
The second National Industrial Exposi
tion at Louisville opens on the second ot
September next. In an invition extended
to the editor of this paper we learn that
the Directors have perfected »vcey arrnge
nient necessary to waking tlx' display the
grandest and most varied ever seen in this
country. Those who attended the Louis
ville Exposition last year can recall the
pleasure and surprise which they felt on
entering the vast building, filled with its
treasures of Art, Industry, Mechanism,
Handiwork and Scientific collections. Me
are promised this year even a greater and
more attractive display. Anticipating this
no one can afford to forego the enjoyment I
of 'pending a day or more in the Loui-ville
Exposi’ion. Reduced rates by R tilroad
and River have I ecu secured, which wiil
enable forties to vi it the ExpoMiionat
comparatively small expense. The in
creased hotel accommodations and travel
ing taeiliiie' tn Louisville, together with
the natutal attractions of the city will make
a visit to that place in S ptember or Oc
tet er both pleasant and profitable.
TO MARY E. HARNISH.
After much expectant waiting I am grat
’.fled by your beautiful reply to questions
propounded some time ago by me. B ill
you allow me to object to some of your ar
guments, and will you be so kind as to re
ply to my objections? I write in no contro'
versial spirit, but with the honest hope
that my objections may be decisively an
swered.
You say there is work which a woman
can do, and which she can live comforta
bly- 1 know this. There is work, plenty
of work, no lack of it, but it is congeriiol or
sufficiently remunerative work? You are
doubtless aware that a woman’s nature i
no nearer perfection than man’s, which at
least has been my experience; limited I
will acknowledge. Ii women were “an
gelic” they might rest content with their
present narrow field of pecuniarily-unre
munerative labor. But this is net so. Bo
men are human, just as human as men are,
and are subject to the same anibit'ous and
weakness; they 'nave physical and mental
wants as men have the gratification of ;
which arc as necessary to their happiness I
as to men’s. If these oants were morbid, i
the result of erroneous education, then it
would be a duty to deny them gratification;
but it seems to me that they are natural,
and that spite of cramping systems of edu- i
cation they will occasionally show them- I
selves. It takes woman’s most "constant
application at the most confining work
sewing and school teaching, which is all
that society allows as respectable, to make
enough’to live comfortably upon, and with i
no chance to lay aside a little lor a rainy
day or for age’s winter. I know for iptrufh
as well as you do that a homeless, friend- ,
less, not yet twenty years, of age, can live
* in the would, but is it not rather hard ,
living, much harder for her than it would
be for her brother ? All girls have not the j
heart and strength you seem to haae, more !
than all boys have the heart and strength
of heroes, It seems to me human nature
would have to be entirely changed before
women can live the contracted lives they
live now, and live them uncomplainingly.
So it seems to me, but I ma}’ be wrong. It
seems also that it is better to endeavor to
remedy the evil now than to wait passively
for v change, Hoping for a reply, lam

Its Work of To-day.
NEW AND MARVELOUS CURES.
THE WONDER OF ITS WORK
CULMINATES ONLY IN THE
CONTINUANCE OF ITS
POWER AND CONTRI
BUTES PERPET-
UAL BLESS-
INGS.
THE S°ECIFIC ONE 0E THE MIR-
ACLES OF GOD.
Evidences of the wonderful effiancy of,
there waters, these marvelous cures and
miraculous achievcmentr, are everywhere
abundant; no country is so distant or land
remote but what holds some object of its
bcnificence, while we may safely say its
workings are not only the admiiation hut
the positively astounding, and from tins na
ture of its cures ’tw mid sceiu the day mir
acles is nt hand. People no longer seek
the banks of Bethesda as a matter of trial
or experience, but with every assurance of
relief— the positive certainty of a cure. To
cite the instances of its cures; sutnmon the
witnesses in its bi half or relate tie history
of its blessed mission in past achievements
would be an end'ess task and comprise
, seemingly the most fabulous tales. Truth
however, is stronger than fiction, and for
■ the correctness of the adage we know of
as such vivid illustration' as we find
in the miraculous workings of “Bethes-
I da.”
Ign ring all the long catalogue of won
ders pet formed by this great natural reme
dy—the specific prepared by the Creator,
beyond the comprehension or auguries of
man, and containing such properties as f»
mark it most emphantically as without it'
like on earth, we may find constant occu
pation in recording its achievements with
the passing time. Pay unto day u’tervth
speech, and night unto night bring.'th
knowledge of this most wonderful discov
ery of the age. In its streams is found the
sure source of health, instant and positive
relief from the most deadly diseases.
Through its virtues these deemed beyond
the possibility of a hope, and given up to
die. drink ard arc made whole again. Tr u
hies afar off are deemed but lightly, in the
dim distance realities appear as shadow'
and in this age of übterfuge and decep
ti >n a silvery tongr of magical pen often
delude the most incredulous, and s’tne
tiiin s establish, for all practical purpose .
the false tor the true, the spurious forge
nuine. An age of humbug withall: the ig
noramus holding precedence to the scholar
the quack preferred to the thoroughly prae
titioner, the shinster to the venerable and
i eloquent—the bigot of the sage.
Without bandying words, and ignoring
the pros and coas of every theme, we may
always investigate its merits and safely de
teimine its virtues from its present status.
Considering Bethesda in this light, for a
moment we find its cures are none the less
marvelous than formerly; while its recipi
ents increase proportionately with its rap
idly increasing fame and the wide-spread
wonder of its works. We were at Wauke
j sha on Thursday. The number assembled
! and the benefits derived from tjic use of
; these waters are of such magnrude and
stupendous character as ,to require actual
knowledge and 1 ersonal observation to final
;ly and fully entitle them to belief. But
the evidence is there; living examples by
1 scores proclaim to-day the wonders of Be
i thesda, the marvelous work it has done for
I them and is doing for multitudes through
out rhe wolld.
At the Bruce House we met a gentle
man, Mr.»/. Ketchum, or Toronto, (J. W.,
who had suffered the most excruciating
agony from diabetes, and had arrived only
the day previous. He had sought other
r. medies to no purpose, but experienced
relief' at the first use of Bethesda, and was
so much refreshed and improved from a
nislu’s rest consequent to its use, as T
deciare himself fully on the way to recov
i cry. and quite i;ke him elf again,
; We also met a gentleman, Mr. A. Fui
i lung, f’-om New Orleans, who lias been
; here -ome weeks and had been given up as
I hopeless by his physicians in the South,
; -c king BetheMa in a most virulent case
'of Bright’s disease. He was ne&rly if not
I quite restored, an- 1 attributed the use of
these watci< as the sole cause of the pro
i longation of his days. V» hiie ref .rring to
! this case we are in receipt of the gentle
man’s own written star-mont. Weappml
it. The cure is a marvelous one, and of
it'elf is sufficient to warrant the fame of

-• nv-i b ring my case hopeles-, and said
J v.-.s no I.'pe for me, as my affection
' wa- 11-’M.t' • •ii'e.-L-e of an incuia’/e type.
1. left New Orleans June Ist and arrived
i at St. Louis on the 10th. Here my disease
1 assumed a worse form and all hopes of re
covery seemed annihilated in the virulance
and progress of the disease. I consulted
Dr. P;im, of St. Aouis, and was advised
by him to visit Bethesda Spring. I was
1 obliged to lay in Chicago a days, to
‘ gather strength for the rest of my journey,
and arrived here in a fearfully exhausted
condition. An examination of my case at
Waukesha demonstrated the fact that my
kidneys were congested—no specific gravi
ty of the urine, while the same was loaded
with albumen, blood and pus. For two
days th re was no specific gravity percen
tible, when you desired me to drink Be
thesda water fieely which I did, a»U on
the third day it showed specific gravity of
5 deg, on fourth 7, and fifth dty JO, with
a great change in the the
urine. The albumen, which was cdngula
ted like a boiled egg, soon dissolved into a
thin substance, while the blood aud pus
entirely disappeared; the specific gravity
raised to 14. and at this present writing,
August Ist, I consider myself a well man.
I shall ever remember the kind attentions
and courtesy extended through you, and
believe, as I hope tor life everlasting, Be
thesda water, which I had abundantly
from you without money and withi ut price
has been the means of saving raj- life. In
taking my leave of you, fora short time,
allow me to extend you the assurance of
ever}' grateful consideration, as I have been
snatched from the grave and I give this as
my te-tio’oriai, so that others similar!}’
affected; shall not despair but profit thro’
my experience—be benefitted as I have
i cen saved. Very many in New Orleans
j can bear testimony of my case before I left
| the city. 1 refer to Dr. Chaweour partic

Judge White, of Mankato, Minn., was

another case of diabetes an 1 derangement

He recommended me to try it. I did -o and
in one week I was enabled to walk. In four
week' I had gained eighteen pounds of
, flesh, and from that time was restored to I
perfect health. Under the blessings of
God I ow- my life to the virtues of these
waters. Why should I not praise them?
Ht-’is by no means an iolated case, but
verywhere and from all sources we hear
I c ;i'i.le» .'i ngs of praise and thanksgiving
j f r the truly marvelous feats of its perform
ance. In no instance has it failed to effect
a cure: while those who have been restored
t' I; al th by its use constitute a multitude.
N )t a day passes but we witness or hear of
i:s X't 'unding effect>and astonishing cures.
The following communication from a prom

I rai'v an 1 adds fresh evidence in its favor.

I Col, R. Dunbar:
Dear Sir: —The Bethesda water you
were so k nd as tc send to Mr. J. A. Clock
of our place, is accomplishing wonders and
it seems a complete cure must be effected
by its codtinued use. Should this prove
to be the case. It will be one of the most
remarkable cures ever effected—almost mi
raculous, and should be heralded from Dan
to Beersheba. All the symptoms seem to
indicate his early recovery. lie has been
tapped but once since he commenced using
thS water, before this he was tapped every
week. 7/is dreadful thirst is gone; his
flesh is no longer flabby but elastic and
firm, and his general appearance denotes
improvement: Mr, Clock lias been an in
valid so long and at such an expense in his
efforts to get relief, his resources have be
come limited; otherwise he would go the
springs and use the water at its fountain
head. Under the circumstances, Mr,
Clock trusts you will be as reasonable
with him as you can, and forward him an
: other half barrel of the water by U S Ex-
I press.
H N Robey,
For J A (’lock,
It wiil be remembered by many of our
i readers that a Mr. Bane of Ohio, was mi-
I raculously cured of dropsy through the use
of Bethesda water. /Zearing of his case
Mr, Clock resolved to try the same remedy
for a similar disease, Its effects are already
'so marked ond beneficial as to call
| out the above letter, Unquestionably
' Mr, Clock will soon be restored to robust
: health.
Evidences of the beneficial effects of Be
thesda come to hand from all quarters of
the globe. The following testimonials ex

One is a case of a man who was diseased
fiom our general hospital as an incurable
ci -e of diabetes. Intact the doctors ha 1
given him up to die. He had heard in some
way of your mineral water, and that I had
some. Hn sent for it by his brother and
got nine gallons of it —and I was told yes

cured man. They say that they cannot be
thankful enough for what it has done for
him. Several other cases have occgrred of
alike character.’
lu Maine, at Portland and Peak’s Island
a per ect fuior of opinion has been created
in favor of Bethesda over some recent
c ires there. From California, aho, we
have glad tidings of great joy in reference
to the happy effects of Bethesda while the
old firm of Holloway & Co., London, Eng

and have ordered an immense «uppiy.
Some parties pertaining to the nobility of
Europe, and writing from Bath, E glan 1,

benefit rereived from the use of Bethesda.
! And thu' we find it everywhere; from the

of these waters.

Tie might continue indefinitely with sim
ilar publications; space nor time will not
permit, and the effiancy of the water is so
well known and universally conceded that,
to us, it seems useless. Their touch is
