One evening, l'ust after Clarence had
returned 1<> his nnavoidable engagement
in the city, old Uncle Elnathan came to
visit wo.
Cn<ic Elnathan wa3 one of those per
sons of whom we are apt to-ask, “why
were they ever created?”
He «m« a venerable old gentleman,
uith Ions silver hair, that fell over the
collar of his bottle green coat, and cloth
gaiter- that irresistibly reminded one of
a black pnssy cat and he took snuff and
talkH through his nose.
"Hirriet” said Uncle Elnathan, “is
this true ?”
«Is what true, Uncle r
«lti this fol-de-rol about your being
engaged to a man ten years younger
than vonrself. Harriet! Harriet! I
thou-ht von had better tense.”
•■I?-, only five years, Uncle.” said I,
pouting, “and I suppose I have a right
to get encaged without sending to yon
for a permit.” .. . . .
“Harriet, this is not a subject to be
flippant about,” said Uncle Elnathan.
“You may depend upon it, that this
young m .n is a mere fortune hunter.
Ton have property, Harriet, and he has
found it out.” _
“Uncle!” I cried, starting up, “I will
not listen tamely to such aspersions upon
the character of one who—"
“Well, my dear, you needn’t get ex
cited,” said the intolerable old gentle
man, tapping his hand upon the lid of
his silver snuff-bor.
“You are not a child, Harriet, nor yet
a sentimental school girl. Let’s talk the
matter calmly over.”
“I decline to discuss it, sir,” was my
dignified reply. “My mind is made up
and no amount of meddling interference
can induce me to alter it.”
“But aren’t you just a little pert to
wards your old Uncle, Hattie ?”
So my Uncle went away, silver hair,
snuff-box, pussy gaiters, and aU, and I
eat down to make a memorandum of the
things I should require for my wedding
outfit. For I had resolved to make an
especial journey to London on that busi
ness.
Ah, the delight of reveling over coun
ters full of choice, filmy laces,, billows of
bridal silt, oceans of tulle 1 it brought
the color to my cheeks only to think of it.
And besides, was it not necessary that
Clarence’s wife should have all that cus
tom required ?
I didn’t care for myself so much, but I
was determined not to disgrace Clarence.^
So one radiant September day, when
the sky was as blue as blue ribbon, and
the very leaves hung motionless in the
yellow atmosphere, like ships at anchor
on a sea of gold, I took the early train
from C with a purse fuU of money,
buttoned in an under pocket of my polo
naise.
I had read all sorts of horrid stories
about pickpockets, and didn’t mean to
part with my bank notes except for value
received.
I felt a little fiutterrd at first, and
scarcely ventured to look around me, for
it seemed that everybody must know that
I was going to London to buy my wed
ding outfit.
If I attempt to tell you anything about
the adventures of that day I know I shall
not succeed.
Women could perhaps understand how
I felt in that fairy land of those great
circles of fashion that exist only in Lon
don-glittering halls where the poor sew
ing girl or the laborer’s wife are treated
with as much consideration and respect
as the millionaire’s lady or the young
damsel who can’t get on a glove for the
diamond ring on her finger.
I bought the wedding dress, white rep
silk and a veil of tulle, suspended from a
garland of orange blossomi, and I select
ed a blue silk, and a peach colored silk,
and a musroon silk, and dear me 1 what
U the use of cataloguing them all ?
Other girls have been brides elect be
fore me, and they all know just how it
all was.
And a3 for those who haven’t, just let
them wait until their turn comes.
And then as the sun began to decline
on its western way, I felt excessively and
unromantically hungry*
‘‘Is there a nico ladies’ dining room
near here ?” I asked-
One of the shopmen went with mo to
the door to point out a glittering estab
lishment, with its windows full of hot
house fruits, and morsels of paces and
delicately tinted cakes.
Dear me 1 London is the place to feel
one’s insignificance.
I do not think that I, Hattie Hyde,
ever felt so small in the whole course of
ny hie as I did walking over the floor of
-1. Ecchamier’s Parisian restaurant,with
& "Vf® running on before to point out a
mable table sparkling with cut-glas3

“It doe3 seem rather outrageous, don’t -
it?” said he. “But when we are married
all that sort of thing will be-over. I’U

Yes, when! thought I, now thoroughly
disenchanted.
And I got up and hurried out of the
restaurant, nearly -stumbling over -a tray,
a dish of oysters and a cup of coffee.
“I—I’ve changed my mind,” said I,
flinging a soverign toward him. “Never
mind those oysters.”
I took the next train to C——, and
wrote a scratching note to Clarenee the
same evening.
Do yon want to knew what was in it ?
Of course, like aU women’s letters, the
best part of it was in the postcript;
“Our engagement is at an end.
H.H."
“P. S.—The next time you examine la
dies’ photographs in a crowded restau
rant, it might be well to examine your
neighbors.”
Clarence had some sense after all.
He never came near me with useless
apologies. •
I gave the wedding dre33 to little Dor
othy Miller, who was to be married in
October, and couldn’t afford a trousseau.
I suppose I shall wear out the blue
and the peach color and the maroon in
time.
Oh, I forgot to say that Mrs. "Richford
was very angry.
It seemed that Clarence had promised
to pay her a hundred pounds that ho had
borrowed of her, w-hea he got hold of my
money.
And I am thankful from the bottom of
my heart that I still remain Hattie
Hyde.
REVERENCE FOR THE DEVIL.
Xen "Who Carry Their Bible In Their
Pockets—Speaking Disrespectfully
of the Creator.
Dr. Holland contributes the following
to Scribner's for May:
We heard a sermon recently on tho
subject of irrational reverence. It was
suggestive and stimulating. It recalled
to us the fact that one of the principal
objects of American reverence is the
Devil. There are multitudes who are
shocked to hear his name mentioned
lightly, and who esteem such mention
profanity. We believe we do no injus
tice to millions of American people in
saying that they have a genuine rever
ence for the being whom they believe to
be tbe grand source and supreme imper
sonation of aU evil. Of course this re
spectful feeling has grown out of the as
sociation of this being with religion, and
is strong just in the proportion that the
religion is irrational or superstitious.
Now we confess to a lack of respect for
the being who played our great grand
mother a scurvy trick in the garden and
has always been the enemy of the human
race ; and we have persistently endeav
ored to bring him Into contempt. It is
harmful to the soul to entertain reverenco
for any being, real or imaginary, who is
recognized to be wholly bad. That atti
tude of the man which defies, rather than
deprecates, is a healthy one. If we have
an incorrigible devil, who is not fit to live
in the society of pure beings, let’s hate
him, and do what we can to ruin his in
fluence. Let us, at least, do away with
all irrational reverence for him and his
name.
There is a good deal of irrational rev
erence for the Bible. There are men who
carry a Bible with them wherever they
go as a sort of protection to them. There
are men who read it daily, not because
they are truth-seekers, but because they
are'favor-seekers. To read it is a part of
their duty. To neglect to read it would
be to court adversity. There are men
who open it at random to see what spe
cial message God has for them through
the ministry of chance or miracle. There
are men who hold it as a sort of feitch,
and bear it about with them as if it were
an idol. There are men who see God in
it, and see him nowhere else. The won-
derfnl words printed upon the starry
heavens; the music of the ministry that
come3 to them in winds and waves and
the songs of birds; the multiplied forms
of beauty that smile upon them from
streams and flowers, and lakes and land
scapes; the great scheme of beneficent
service, by which they receive their daily
bread and their clothing and shelter—all
S k these are unobserved, or fail to be reeog-
1 nized a3 divine. In short, thero is to
them no expression of God except what
they find in a book. And this book is so
sacred that even the form of language
into which it has been imperfectly trans
lated is sacred. They would not have a
word changed. They would frown upon
any attempt to examine critically into
the sources of the book, forgetting that
they are rational beings, and that one of
the use3 of their rational faculties is to
know whereof they affirm, and to give a
reason for the hope and faith that are in
them. It is precisely the same irrational
reverence that the Catholic has for his
Bible and bis priest.
The irrational reverence for things that
are old is standing all the time m the
path of progress. Old forms that are
outlived, old habits that new circum
stances have outlawed, old creeds which
cannot possibly contain the present life
and thought and opinion, old ideas whose
vitality has long been expended—these
are stumbling blocks in tbe way of the
world, yet they are cherished and adhered
to with a reverential tenderness that is
due only to God. A worn out creed is
good for nothing but historical purposes,
and, when these are answered, it ought
to go into the rag-bag. Forgetting those
things which are behind, the wise man
will constantly reach to those that are be
fore. Tho past is small: the future is
large. We travel toward the dawn, and
every man who reverences the past, sim
ply because it is the past, worships to
ward the setting sun, and will find him
self in darkness before he is aware. Of
all the bondage that this world knows,
there is none so chilling or so killing as
that which ties u3 to tho past and the
old. We wear out our coats and drop
them, wo wear out our creeds and hold to
thorn, glorying in onr tatters.
There is even an irrational reverence
for tho Almighty Father of us all. Wo
can and many of us do, place Him so far
away from us in his inaccessible Majesty,
we clothe Him with such awful attri
butes, we mingle so much fear with our
love, that wo lose sight entirety of our
filial relation to Him—wo lose sight en
tirely of the tender, loving, sympathetic,
Fatherly Being, whom the Master has re
vealed to us.
In the sermon to which we have al
luded, the preacher quoted Coloridge’s
definition of reverence, which makes it a
sentiment formed of the combination of
lovo and fear. We doubt the complete
ness of the definition, certainly, fear has
altogether too much to do with onr rever
ence, but if perfect lovo casteth out fear,
where is the reverence ? That is an irra
tional reverence which lies prostrate be
fore a greatness, which it cannot compre
hend, and forgets the goodness, tho na
ture of which, at least, it can understand.
That it is an irrational reverenco which
always looks up, and never around—
which is always in awe and never in de
light— which exceedingly feara and
quakes, and has no tender raptures—
which places God at a distance, and fails
to recognize Him in the thousand forms
that appeal to our sense of beauty, and
tho thousand small voices that speak of
His immediate presence.
Are we preaching ? Let us stop then.
This is a literary magazine into which
religion should never enter! After all
isn’t that one of the old ideas that should
be discarded ? Is the highest life of tho
soul so alien to literature that it must
always bo served in a distinct course, on
a special platter ? Even the ass knows
enough to spit ont the flower that crowns
his thistle.

Tfae Strange History of Charley Lewis
—A Perverse Corpse—How It Feels
to be Blown Up.
From the New York Sun.)
Charles B. Lewis, of the Detroit Free
Press, is about thirty-tbree years of age.
His native place is Liverpool, Mendiaa
county, Ohio, about twenty-five miles
from Cleveland. His father was a farmer,
and afterwards a country merchant.
Young Lewis had such common school
education as the place and period afford
ed, and he worked about home until 1856,
when ho followed his bent and struck out
into the world. He tied np first in Lan
sing, Michigan, and entered the office of
the Journal and Democrat, being then
about fourteen, as printer’s devil. He
reached tbe dignity of a case, and ia time
became an assistant to the local editor.
He was so employed when tho war broke
ont.
He wa3 one of the first to enlist in
Mishigan, and served at the first battle
of Bull Run. At tho close of two years’
service in an infantry regiment, he re
enlisted in a calvary regiment from the
same State,-and after the end of the war,
served with this regiment fighting In
dians. He was mustered out a lieutenant,
and returned to newspaper work as local
of the Journal and Democrat at Lansing,
and he also worked for some time in the
same capacity on the Pontiac Jacftsonian.
In 1868 he struck his tent again, having
got a situation as local on the Xaysville
(Ky.) Bulletin. At Cincinnati he took
passage on the steamer Magnolia.
Soon after the steamer started from
her wharf Lewis retired to change his
clothing, and while he was in his state
room the Magnolia blew up, and Lewis,
who had so far accomplished the object
oE hi3 retirement as to remove hh
clothes, was -surprised to find himself
moving skyward with a velocity that
would have been creditable to a shell
from a mortar. The boat was about two
hundred feet from the Ohio shore. Lewis
came down so near to it that a woman
who stood on the hank seized his hair
and dragged him from tho water. He
had a hole in the back of his head (it is
there yet) which had been made by a
bolt head with wbieh his own head had
come in contact, and what the horrified
spectators thought were brains (and Lew
is himself is inclined to think so) oozed
from the hole- Picked up for dead, he
was loaded with other dead and wounded
on a tug for Cincinnati. Hi3 body was
grimy with coal dust and burns. It was
taken for that of a negro, and thrown
into the dead cart and carried to the hos
pital preliminary to buriaL After it had
lain with the others three or four hours,
some horror hunter, whose fancy led him
to a closer inspection of the dead, an
nounced to les3 inquisitive bystanders,
“Loot a’ here. This nigger’s got a white
man’s hair.” Then they dragged the
unique nigger from the pile, tried a little
soap and water on him, and found a
white man.
So they washed him all over, and he
speedily rose to the dignity of a cheap
shroud and a separate bed in a hospital
ward. Thffi was a corpse prolific of as
tonishing changes. It not only changed
from a negro into a white man, but a few
hours after they had scrubed it up it
changed into a live man, or rather a half
live man, for consciousness did not return
for a long time. Then everybody took
an interest in him, and the doctor gave
him the most careful attention, seeming
to consider it a point of personal honor
to beat Death in the struggle. The Cin
cinnati reporters described him, and that
brought relatives and friends. He hov
ered for many days between life and
death, so nicely balanced was the scale
that a breath might have blown him
either way. On the fourteenth day he
grievously affronted everybody but the
doctor by coming regularly to life in the
orthodox fashion. He awoke out of a
curious dream, in which he thought he
was on a steamboat that carried a travel
ing circus. He had a seat on the back
of a rhinoceros, which the circus men
claimed to be a fine specimen, but
Lewis inspected the animal and dis
covered that it was dead, a stuffed
rhinoceros made of leather and sticks,
and a gross imposition on the public.
Rubbing the beast’s back in further in
vestigation he awoke to find himself sur
rounded by an admiring throng of men
and women, who welcomed him back to
life. For weeks it was believed he would
lose one of his eyes, but it was saved. It
was forty days before he could walk, and
his legs still show the marks of the ex
plosion. He had started from Lansing
with two suits of clothes and ninety dol
lars. He was naked when he was blown
np, and a ring he wore was stolen before
he reached the hospital. The only thing
he recovered of his original outfit was his
Sunday coat, which was fished out of the
river with its tails blown off.
He went back to Michigan in May,
1863, and standing at a cas' in tho Jack
sonian office composed, “out of his head,”
and set up tho article that first drew
public attention to him as a humorist. It
was entitled, “How it Feel3 to be Blown
Up—A Printer’s Experience.” It made
about half a column of brevier, and it
went the rounds of tho newspaper press.
A few months after this was printed Mr.
Lewis went back to his first love, tho
Journal and Democrat, as local editor. He
sued the steamboat company for dam
ages, and while in Cincinnati on this bus
iness occurred the well-remembered col
lision and burning of the steamboats
America and United States. Mr. Lewis
reported tho disaster for the Free Press,
his first contribution to this paper, and
he followed it with two or three more, all
pure news. The editor of the Free Press
thought him capable, and sent him to
Lansing to report the Legislature. The
session closing, he went into the Detroit
office, and did miscellaneous work until
the next session of tbelLegislature, when
he was again sent to Lansing. After that
session he returned to Betroit, and has
since remained there.
Still Another centennial.

Newly Discovered Races In Africa.
In a recent lecture delivered at Cologn
by Dr. Gerhard Rohlfs, the African ex
plorer, a most interesting account was
given of the last part of a journey from
Tripoli to the coast of Guinea. He vis
ited tho Empire of Bomu, situated to
the south of Lake -Tehad, and found the
negro tribes dwelling there to be the
most civilized of the North African na
tives. From Kouka, the capital of Bor-
nn, Dr. Rohlfs struck South to Mondara,
and entering the districts of the Polluor
Folio tribes, found the inhabitants "to
be of a light yellow, almost white com
plexion, and surpassing even Europeans
with regard to beauty of form and
growth.” The civilization of Bornn and
its neighboring districts was treated in
detail by the lecturer, and was sliQwn to
presset features of great importance to
the students of anthropology. 1 =

■sir s Necromancer cum to Grief
-The Attention of Mr. Herrmann
Particularly Called.
Several of tho magicians who perform
in public do what they call the "gold
fish trick.” The jnggler stands upon
the stage, throws a handkerchief over his
extended arm, and produces in succession
three or four shallow glass dishes, filled
to the brim with water, in which live
gold fish are swimming. Of course the
dishes are ooncealed somehow upon the
person of the performer.
Peter Lamb, the young fellow who
lives near me, discovered how the trick
was done, and offered to do it the other
night at Magruder’s party, for the enter
tainment of the company. So the folks
gathered in one end of the parlor, and in
a few moments Lamb entered the door
at the other end. He said:
"LadieB and gentlemen, yon will per
ceive hat I have nothing about me ex
cept my ordinary clothing, and yet I
shall produce presently two dishes filled
with water and living fish. Please watch
mo narrowly.
Then Fetor flung the handkerchief
over his hand and arm, and we could see
that he was working his way vigorously
at something beneath it. He eontinued
for some moments and still the gold fish
did not appear. Then he began to grow
very red in the face, and wo saw that
something was the matter. Then the
perspiration began to stand on Peter’s
forehead, and Mrs. Magruder asked him
if he was well. Then the company
laughed, and the magician grew reader,
bnt he kept on fambling beneath that
handerchief, and apparently trying to
reach aroand under his coattails. Then
we heard something snap, and the next
moment a quart of water ran down the
wizard’s left leg and spread out over the
carpet.
By this time he looked as if the grave
would be a welcome refuge. But still he
continued to feel around under the hand
kerchief. At last another snap was heard,
and one more quart of water ploughed
down his right leg and formed a pool
about his shoe. Then the necromancer
hurriedly said that the experiment had
somehow failed, and he darted into the
dining room. I followed, and found him
sitting on the sofa, trying to remove his
pantaloons. He explained:
“O, gracious! Come here quickly and
pull these off I They’re soakin’ wet, and
I’ve got fifteen live goldfish inside my
drawers flippin’ around and raspin’ the
skin with their fins, enough to make a
man crazy. Oucti! O, Moses! Hurry
the shoe off and grab that fish there at
my left knee,-or I’ll have to howl right
out 1”
Then we undressed him and picked the.
fish out of his clothes, and I discovered
that he had had two dishes fall of water
and covered with India rubber tops
strapped inside his trowsers, which were
six inches too short for him, and then he
climbed over the back fence and went
home. He says, now, that the next time
he gives exhibitions in public he intends
to confine himself to ventriloquism.—2Iax

The Pope’s Successor.
Amid the excited state of affairs which
is prevailing now in Europe, we can ex
claim, like the ancients, “JH omen aver-
tant /” when reading the telegram rela
tive to the health of the Pope. We could
warmly say, indeed, "Let the gods avert
the presage of evil!” for the demise of
Pius IX. would be in tho Old World the
cause not only of another "great schism”
like that in the fourteenth century, hut
also the sign of international war. In
the middle of April, Prince Bismarck,
daring the passionate speech he deliver
ed as an answer to the Deputies of the
Chamber, Herren Bruelile and Eeisch-
ansperger, revealed his plans to defeat a
free and lawful election of the next
Pope. On three different times, during
his diatribe, the German Chancellor
spoke with contempt of Pins IX., as
“being only an Italian elected by Ital
ians,” and whose supremacy should not
be acknowledged, even in religious mat
ters, by the German Catholics. It may
be safe to imply again, as wo often have
done, that Bismarck wants to oppose.the
rule which, though not officially existing,
is still followed by all conclaves, that is to
choose always the Pope from among the
Cardinals of Italian nationality. This
rule was adhered to, after the election of
French and German prelates to the Pa
pacy had incited the jealousy of other
European nations, and led to.religious
schisms and political wars. Prince Bis
marck has therefore, indirectly though
strongly, declared that he will oppose
tho election of an "Italian Pope,”
after the death of Pius Ninth. He has
still gone further, when in the same
speech, he declared that the pontifical
supremacy as it is understood now, since
the adoption of tho infallibility dogma,
could not and would not be tolerated, in
Germany even from a Pope of Prussian
nationality. It is conquentlv beyond any
doubt that the death of Pius IX. will
bring trouble in Europe, unless the suc
cessful candidate for the Papacy should
be not only a German but moreover a
German quite devoted to Bismarck’s
ideas. Let us hope that the alarming
new3 relative to the Pope’s health will
be soon contradicted, and that the strug
gles now looming up in Europe will be
averted for some years to come.—New
York Commercial Advertiser.
i At a meeting of the Ohio Democratic
State Central Committee at Columbus on
Thursday, it was resolved to hold a con
vention on the 17th of June. Senator
Thurman made a speech during which he
said the day had gone by for carrying
Ohio by stump speeches. Organization
by townships was what was needed. He
thought it apparent to every one that
unless the Republican party can carry
Ohio this fall, its fate is sealed, and if
the Democratic party carry the State this
fall, it would settle the question of party
ascendancy in tho nation.
Anothbb cove who thought to fill his
pockets at the expense of an editor, has
had a surprise. A dispatch from Spring-
field, Massachusetts, says Willis Phelps’
5200,000 suit against tho Bepublican, of

Wnnon’s Compound op Pubs Cod Liver Oil
axd Lime.—Tho advantage of this compund
over tho plain oil is that the nauseating taste of
the oil is entirely removed, and the whole render
ed entirely palatable. The offensive taste of the
oil has long acted as a prominent objection to Us
use; hut in this form the trouble is entirely ob
viated. A host of certificates might be given
here to testify to tho excellence and success of
“MTilbor’s Cod Liver Oil and Lime.” But the
fact that it is regularly prescribed by tbe medi
cal faculty is sufficient. For sale by A.B. Wir- - gchenck’s medicines are sold by all druggists

Centennials.
As the nation approaches its one hun
dredth anniversary, these celebrations
are daily becoming more popular, and
will tend in no little degree to educate
and prepare the people, for the grand
event which comes off at Philadelphia
next year.
Already, at Concord and Lexington, the
ground has been broken, and the cere
monies as reported, could not fail to
arouse the old revolutionary spirit of '76,
and exert a soothing and annealing influ
ence upon every heart.
For one we favor the grand Centennial,
and trust it will constitute a new era in
American history, and form a departure
for good in our national career.
Still another glorious celebration will
take place in old Mecklenburg on the
20th of May, in commemoration of the
first Declaration of American Indepen
dence.
The proceedings promise to be of the
most interesting character, and will at
tract thousands from every section of the
Union. They will be alluded to more
fully hereafter. At present we simply
subjoin an exact copy of that famous Bill
of Eights:
Declaration of Independence ly the citizens
of Mecklenburg county, North Carolina,
May 20.1775.
In conformity to on order issued by the
Colonel of Mecklenburg county, in North
Carolina, a CONVENTION, vested with
unlimited powers, met at Charlotte, in
said county, on the nineteenth of May/ 1
1775, when Abraham Alexander was cho
sen chairman, and John McKnitt Alex
ander secretary.
After a full and free discussion of the
objects of tho Convention, it wa3
UNANIMOUSLY RESOLVED,
I. That whosoever, directly or indi
rectly, abetted, or in any way, form, or
manner, countenanced the unchartered
and dangerous invasion of our RIGHTS,
as claimed by Great Britain, is an enemy
to this country, to America, and to the
INHERENT and INALIENABLE RIGHTS of
man.
II. Resolved, That we, the citizens of
Mecklenburg county, do hereby dissolve
the political bands which have con
nected us to the mother country, and
hereby absolve ourselves from all alle-
gianco to the British crown, and abjure
all political connection, contract or assO'
ciation, with that nation who have wan
tonly trampled on our rights and lib
erties, and inhumanly shed the innocent
blood of American patriots at Lexington,
HI. Resolved, That we do hereby
declare ourselves A FEES AND IN
DEPENDENT PEOPLE, and are, and of
right ought to be, a sovereign and self
governing association, under tho control of
no power other than that of our god and
the GENERAL GOVERNMENT of CON
GRESS; to the maintenance of which
independence we solemnly pledgs to
each other, our mutual co-operation,
our homes our fortunes, and our most
sacred honor.
Abraham Alexander, Chairman.
J. M. Alexander, Secretary.
Then follow tho names of the other
signers, twenty-nine in number.
Thus spake old Mecklenburg, from
Charlotte, styled by the royalists the
hornet’s nest of America.
Who can read the stirring record with
out feeling his cheek glow with admira
tion, at the daring and patriotism of these
gallant yeomen, m the heart of the old
North State ?
Fine "Wheat ana Oats.
Mr. J. C. Flynn, of Rutland district,
has laid upon our table two magnificent
bundles of green wheat and oats, fully
beaded out and very promising. The
heads are very long and promise to yield
a plump and heavy grain. Tho oats are
part of a volunteer crop of three acres,
which came up after tho stubble bad
been plowed in, and a turnip crop taken
off. The yield will be very fine.
Mr. Flynn produces these results from
very poor land, enriched and recuperated.
Gen. Frank Blair is steadily improv
ing under the operations of transfusing
healthy blood into his veins. ,He has now
received three operations. The first
time an ounce and a half was transfused;
the second time a little less than four
ounces, and the last time previous five
ounces. The first two times he lay al
most insensible and apparently uncon
scious. The • last time he watched the
operation with great interest and articu
lated a few words, which he had not done
for sorno time. He also moved his para
lytic arm, and a few minutes afterward
fell asleep. H13 wife and family are
represented to be greatly encouraged.
Similar operations bave been performed
recently on two patients in a St. Louffi
hospital, and in each instance the result
is said to have been satisfactory.
Dos’r Regard It as a Catch-Pennt—Brad-
field’s Fenale Regulator.—We have often
read in tho newspapers of tho grand success of
medical compounds putnp at tho North and else
where. Many of thoso medicines have had their
day, an.l we hear no more of them. Their pro
prietors have made fortunes, not so much from
tho curative powers and virtues of their mix
tures, as from tho notoriety given them by adver
tising, by which peopio were mado to believe oil
tho good that was said of them. A preparation
is now before the public which is becoming very
popular, and is known as Bradfield’s Femalo
Regulator, put up by L. H. Brad field, of Atlanta,
Ga, at 51 60 per bottle. Such is its curativo vir
tues that it has gained wide-spread popularity
all over tho country where it has been made
known, and it is being introduced everywhere.
We are informed that immense quantities of this
medicine are being sold m all sections of tho
South and Southwest, especially in tho city of
Npw Orleans and in Texas.
This much we say in justice to its proprietor,
who is a gentleman of integrity, and who would
not cpgage in tho manufnturo and solo of a hum
bug.—LaGrango Reporter.
TWO MILES BEFORE BREAKFAST.
In a neighboring city in Georgia thero is a mar
ried woman, who, after her third confinement,
bad ulceration, with all its repulsive symptoms.
Sbo tried in vain all tho nostrums; her husband
carried her to all the famous mineral springs,
went with her to New York, Philadelphia, and
other places, to consult eminent obstetricians, to
no purpose. After the use of tho filth bottle of
Regulator, she has been fully restored to her
former health and happiness, and is now the joy
of tho household—is able to walk two miles be
fore breakfast.
Dr. Schexck’s Standard remedies.—Tho
standard remedies for all diseases of the lungs
are Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Schcnck’s Sea
Weed Tonic, and Schenck’s Mandrake Pills, and,
if taken before the lungs are destroyed, a speedy
cure is effected.
To these throo medicines Dr. J. H. Schenck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in tho
treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripons tho morbid matter
in tho lungs; nature throws it off by an easy ex
pectoration, for when tho phlegm or matter is
ripo a slight cough will throw ft off, tho patient
has rest and tho lungs begin to heal.
To enable tho Pulmonic Syrup to do this,
Schenck’s Mandrake Pills_ and Schenck’s Sea
Weed Toitic must be freely used to clcanso tho
stomach and liver. Schenck’s Mandrako Pills
act on tho liver, removing all obstructions, relax
the gall bladder, tho bile starts freely, and the
liver is soon relieved.
Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimu
lant agd alterative; the alkali of which it is
composed, mixos with the food and prevents
scuring. It assists the digestion by toning up
the stomach to a healthy condition, so that the
food and the Pulmonio Syrup will make good
blood; then the lungs heal, and tbe patient will
surely get well if care is taken to prevent fresh
cold.
All who wish to consult Dr. Schenck, either
personally or by letter, can do so at bia principal
office, corner of Sixth and Arch street*. Philadel
phia; every Monday.

Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.:
■Dear Sir—Your medicines. Golden Med
ical Discovery, Dr. Sago’s Catarrh Rem
edy, have proved of the greatest service
to me. Six months ago no one thought
that I could possibly live long. I had a
complication of diseases—scrofula, man
ifesting itself in eruptions and great
blotches cn my head that made such
Bores that I could not have my hair
combed without causing me much suf
fering ; also causing swollen glands, ton
sils enlarged, enlarged or “thick neck,”
and large and numerous boils. I also
suffered from & terrible chronic catarrh,
and in fact I was so diseased that life
was a burden to me. I had tried many
doctors with no benefit. I finally procured
one-half dozen bottles of your Golden
Medical Discovery and ono dozen Sage’s
Catarrh Remedy and commenced their
use. At first I was badly discouraged,
bnt after taking four bottles of the Dis
covery I began to improve, when I had
taken the remaining I was well. In ad
dition to tho use of Discovery I applied a
solution of iodine to the goitre or thick
neck, as yon advise in pamphlet wrap
ping, and it entirety disappeared. Your
Discovery is certainly the most wonder
ful blood medicine ever invented. I
thank God and you, from the depths of
my heart, for the great good it haB done
me. Very gratefully,
Mbs. L. Chaffee.
Most medicines which are advertised as
blood purifiers and liver medicines con
tain^ either mercury, in some form, or po
tassium and iodine variously combined.
All these agents have strong tendency to
break down the blood corpuscles, and de
bilitate and otherwise permanently in
jure the human system, and should there
fore be discarded. Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, on the other hand,
being camposed of the fluid extracts of
native plants, barks and roots, will in no
case produce injury, its effects being
strengthening and curative only. Sarsa
parilla, which used to enjoy quite a rep
utation as a blood purifier, is a remedy of
thirty years ago, and may well give place
as it is doing, to the more positive and
valuable vegetable alteratives which
later medical investigation and discove
ry has brought to light. In Scrofula or
King’s Evil, White Swellings, Ulcers,
Erysipelas, Swelled Neck, Goitre, Scrofu
lous Inflammations, Indolent Inflamma-
mation, Mercurial affections, Old Sores,
Eruptions of the Skin and Sore Eyes, as
in fall other blood diseases, Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery has shown its
great remedial powers, curing the most
obstinate and intractable cases. Sold by
all dealers in medicine.

Economy.
Aside from their excellence there is
economy in buying Dr. Price’s Flavoring
Extracts, as the bottles hold one-half
more than others purporting t& hold the
same quantity. They are the meet nat

ity and quantity there are none like them.

Instead of nauseous medicines, stews and villain
ous compouncHourci tizensare using thatpleasant
and delightful remedy. Globe Flower Syrup,
which always effects a cure in a few days, and
sometimes in a few hours. Neglect a cold and
pay either a doctor’s or an undertaker’s UL The
list of diseases and tho great number of deaths
resulting from a simple cold are frightful, and
may be avoided by having always at hand a bot
tle of Globe Flower Syrup, which is equally and
certainly remedial for ill stages of lung and bron
chial disorder, from a simple cold to a confirmed
consumption. Bo wise in time, ’tis madness to
defer. Next day tho fatal precedent may plead
and you may drop into an early grave—all for
want of one bottle of Globe Flower Cougb Syrup.
Mcthers, remember that Globe Flower Syrup
is a specific for croup, and children lovo to take
it. Never be without this invaluable remedy, to
administer on the first alarm of croup. Cut this
out. It may save your life, and with sound lungs
and a healthy organization, live long to bless its
discovery and praise its great merits.
It is sold by first-class druggists and chemists.
