Wfaea He Wee* Aloft.
"When I th a lad, my greatest de
sire was to go to sea," remarked a well
known oitiaen to a reporter the other
day. “My father was a farmer, bnt till
ing the soil had no charms for me. I
was discontented, and one day my
father, thinking it was the best way to
cure me, gave his oonsont to my becom
ing a sailor. I was never so happy in
my life, and all the boys in the neigh
borhood envied me. Before a fortnight
passed I envied them.
“That was in the days of merchant
men, and my father was acquainted
with a merchant in New York who en
gaged in the China trade, and to him he
gave me a line asking him to put me on
one of his vessels. The oaptain was a
bluff, hearty old fellow, the very bean
ideal of a sea captain—when on shore
I was very much pleased with his ap
pearance, but aubscquently ho didn’t
look half so pretty to me. He was a
thorough sailor, though. I never saw
the night that he didn’t come ou deck
two or three times to soe that all was ns
it should be.
“I felt a little bit homesick as a little
tug took us down the bay, but I forgot
all about it when we got outside and
commonoed making sail. The re were
three of us boys on board, and wo stood
huddled together on the lower deck
watching the sailors as they ran out the
spars and let fall the sails, and we fell
to wondering how long it would be be*
tore we would be required to go aloft
and lay out on a yard. One of ns
thought it would be a month or two and
another thought it would be six mouths.
Finally we oonoluded that we would bo
worked into it gradually; sent up a little
way one day, a little further the next,
and so on until we oould go all over the
rigging. You can imagine my surprise,
therefore, when, after all the ropes had
been coiled up, the deck cleared and
everything made ship shape, the oaptain
turned to me and said:
“ 'Here, youngster, do yon see that
rope a-flying up there? Oo up and
bring it down.’
“It was a bit of marline, about three
feet long, flying from the topmast cross-
trees, and I suppose some sailor had
put it there on pnrjioae. Gracious I the
thought of going way up there made my
hair stand on end, and I told the oap
tain I was afraid I couldn’t do it.
“ *You are, ch ! Well, I can take all
that out of you 1’ and he started for a
rope’s end.
“I didn't wait for him to get it, bnt
nn np the rigging as well as I was able,
never expecting to get back alive. There
waa quite a heavy sea, and the mast
swayed frightfully. If I oould have
been put back on the farm at that mo
ment, no one would ever have heard me
say another word about going to sea. ”
“Did you get the marline?"
“You bet I did. And wa’n’t I proud
when I handed it to the oaptain I And
didn’t I put on airs over the other boys :
I’d been aloft and they hadn’t.”

A LITE AMERICAN GIRL ABROAD.
The Secretary of the Lime-Kiln Club
announced an official communication
from the Commissioner of Agriculture
settiug forth the fuct that he had suc
ceeded in making sorghum at a cost of
only $1.62 cents a pound, and asking the
Club to assist him in circulating the
glorious news among the laboring men
of the oouutry.
Nelson Blabs thereupon offered the
following resolution:
"Resolved, Dnt de thanks of dis Club
an' do 5,000,000 people it represents am
extended to de Commissioner fur his
patient an’ successful efforts to bring de
pi ice of sliugar widin do reach of ebery

Judge Congo removed his coat, vest,
collar and neck-tio to prepare himself
for a speech in opposition, but he was
cut down and the resolution put to a
vote. The result stood: Ayes, 121;
noes, 14.—Detroit Free Frees.
Th important matter of irrigation
ia receiving much attention in Colorado.
Until recent years little was done in this
regard beyond the digging of ditches or
flumes a few rods in length. In the last
few years, according to the Denver
Tribune, companies with largo capital
have been organized, with the object of
bringing under cultivation the thousands
of acres of land, otherwise arid, but
whiob with proper irrigation prove as
arable and fertile as the most favored
farming sections in the rich West. This
new industry of irrigation not only pro
vides labor for hundreds of men and
teams, but adds to the wealth of Colo
rado by incieasing the acreage of arable
lands and swelling the aggregate volume
of natural products, notably cereals,
fruit and vegetables. Two blades of
grass are made to grow where one grew
before, and Colorado, from being de
pendent for home consumption upon
natural products imported from other
States, is fast becoming a source of sup
ply for Eastern markets.

Mr. Johnson, of Indianapolis, Ind., re
lated to a reporter the particulars of the
final interview be had with his wife on
the night she committed suicide.
“I reminded her," he Baid, “of her
often-repeated entreaties to soe me, and
assured her I would reooive any sugges
tion she oould make. 8be said that in
the whole matter she had bnt one condi
tion to offer, that she should come back
absolutely to my heart and arms. She
reminded me of what she had said in
several of her last letters, thnt she oould
consent to no prospect in life without
me and that she oould not agree to ad
justment with that condition left out. I
was profoundly affected, and yet it was
impossible for me to surrender absolutely
all my own feelings. She had just been
for three months the mistress of another
man. She was fresh from his embraces.
Her lips were still hot with his kisses.
The sacred bosom where my babes were
nursed was yet quivering from his
touoh. He had invaded her heart and
his influenoo still dominated every part
of her being. So rapt waa she with the
memory of his embraces that oven to the
last she waa wholly unable to under
stand how she had wronged either me or
her son. Her entire soul was permeated
and infected an with a deadly malady. I
told her that there must first be a period
of penitence and purification. Her
paramour, with his unholy Inflnenoe,
must be thoroughly purged from her
heart. Until then I could not peroeive
any place in her affeotions fit for me to
oooupy.
“I told her that she required treat
ment for her mental and also for her
spiritual condition. I suggested that
she retire for a time to a private retreat
for mental and nervous disorders, but
most earnestly of all I urged her to turn
to religion as her surest refuge. I
begged her to go down upon her knees
and give her soul to Ood, who alone can
cleanse and purify the soul. I could not
receive her back to my arms, but I as
sured her that the future was not with
out hope for us all, and that penitence
and reotitndo might fully atone for her
fault. I told her that we must at once
and forever leavo Indianapolis; that we
could have it announced in the papers
that the homatead had been sold and
that we had gone South for permanent
residence; that she might go tohorrela
tives or fix her abode wherever she
chose; that she might take anything or
everything she wished of the household
I effects; that I would not divoree her,
bnt that she might still remain my wife
and thnt wherever she went I would sup
ply ample means for her support. My
pension, which ia now $17 per month
imt whioh will soon be increased to $24
per month, I told her ahould, at my
death, be hers for life, or so long aa she
remained my widow. Sho only answered
that without me and my love, as she had
possessed it of old, all tlie rest was
nothing. Oh, how far was I from com
prehending the terrible depths of her
meaning. Oould I have eveu suspected
the purpose, so tragic and fearful, whioh
perhaps even then possessed her mind,
what would I not have done to remove
it? Anything 1 anything! Oh, Qod,
how gladly would I have sacrificed my
self for her. She seemed calm, though
deeply distressed, and never for a mo
ment did I doubt that I should met her
again until the message came that she
was dead. Her father, Dr. Griffith, who
is mentally and physically prostrated by
the great trouble that has overtaken
him, spends bis time in calling upon his
daughter to come to him and bemoftning
her abaenoe."
The Irish.
At the last census the natives of Ire-
and who were present in England and
Wales numbered 562,374, being in the
proportion of 21.65 to 1,000 of the en
tire population. The number is not an
increasing quantity, for in 1861 it was
601,634, and at each oensus since it has
fallen gradually. These figures show
that relatively to the whole population
of the country the Irish .element is not
formidable, but its unequal division over
the country concentrates its strength in
certain districts. In the agricultural
oouuties tbe number of Irish is insignifi
cant, but bnt in the manufacturing and
mining counties and boroughs they
form a large proportion of the popula
tion. Thus, in Liverpool they are
reckoned at 12.8 per oent., in Birken
head 8.8, in St. Helen’s 8.5, in Man
chester 7.5, in Salford 7.4, in Lan
cashire 6.1, in Cumberland 6.6 per cent.,
and so on.

A Mamlona Dina.
Last summer I waa “doing London'' ns
thoroughly hi nn Araerlean woman without
esoort can, when one morning after oetchlnf
rodent glim pee* of what romAlmof the "St.
Ilea,'' Immortalized by Hogarth or Dmiflas
Jerrold, end of the "Sevon Dials," I turned
Into Now Oxford street (which la topped by
Tottenham court road and ends at Mudle's
Library). Welkin* along towards Holborn I
found mrself Involuntarily stopping before
one of toe prettlont fronts I had yet seen.
Naturally 1 looked up and sew above tbe
number 3 aa a-sthotio looking sign against
the front (for projecting signs are Inadmissi
ble In the great metropolis), on which I read
"Dr. Pierce's Medicines.” At ont-e I gave a
little ejaculation of Joy, and fairly rushed
Into the shop. Why I I had been during two
wholo days lamenting the awkwardness of a
railway porter, who, In my transit rrom
Southampton, after landing, bed so careloasly
handled my “box" (trunk Is also Inadmissible
In Kngland) as to break notonly my supply of
Dr. Plorce's Golden Medical Dlscovory, that I
hod brought from New York, but all of bla
Purgative Pellets (so advisable to ladles In
traveling) excepting n bottle I had In my
rotloule. Tho olerk appeared to notice my
satisfaction at I looked around and saw a
jortralt of Dr. Pioroe, whoso acquaintance I
ind first made at a ball In the White House,
when he was Congressman from tho line city
of Buffalo, and saw pictures of Its World's
Dispensary building and of its Invalids'
Hotel, In which I had bui-n a guost patient (as
wtll, lot me add, as a patient guest) during n
course of treatment with World's Dlspenaery
medicines, which had changed mo from n
nervous,dyspeptic, fretful woman into tho
cheerful and healthful traveler 1 now found
myself to bo. The olerk was vastly polite M
1 told him what a surprise It was to mo to find
that tho boons of my life time had found a
home In London. "Why," he Interrupted,
with a smile, “the medlolnos of which this Is
the European sniirpul have won thousands
of grateful patients as enthusiastic us you
seem to bo." Of course In a short time the
mishap with the railway porter was forgot
ten, and, after giving an order for a now as
sortment of tho "Golden Dlsoovcry" and
Pellets" sent to tny lodgings in Bernal
street, I was again threading my way through
the London orowds. fatigued with the day's
exercise and enjoyment 1 rotlred early to
lied, and with the ploasnnt inoldent of Oxford
street well to the fore in my mind as 1 fell
asleep. What wonder that I dreamed, or that
my fanolos traveled noross the Atlantic to
buffalo and to tae Invalids' Hotol, which had
to mo the satno grateful moinortes as the
oburoh of her marriage has to tho happy
wife.
I seemed to tie In a palace oar liotwoon Al
bany and Buffalo, and tho newsboy had
brought mo a copy of tho marvelous book
•old freely on all the trams, "The People's
Common House Medical Adviser," by Dr.
Pioroe, ox-Senator and ex-Congrossumn. 1
was again reading its pages, expressed, as all
medical books for tho people should lie ex<
pressed, In "plain English," and whioh Is
full of everything relating to tho ills whioh
flesh Is heir to, so that tho book inny be
well called the Invalids' lllble and tho Testa
ment for tbe already strong, who would keop
themselves always strong. Tho book, whioh
takes tho ohlld In tho cradle through all the
Ills of nutrition and dentil'on; the mother In
her agonies; the husband In his depressions
the father In his sufferings from overwork)
and shows each and nil (und oven the practlo.
Ing physician, who thinks ho knows so much
and yet hasulwnys now things to learn) how
the brain is woakonnd In functions, the lung
polaonod, tho blood contaminated, tho liver
made torpid, tho heart disarranged, the
muscles made rigid, tbe nerves shattered, and
the tissues and ahrorbents Infected with the
subtle poisons of excesses and malaria. And
Anally, the precious volume—the veriest
gospel of health In this world—turns the
reador's attention to tho Golden Modloul Dis
covery, that, whether It Is used upon the
pores of the body or sent into tho channels
of the body through the processes of
assimilation and digestion,Immediately "cools
the brow und tomitors the brain, and niuketh
tho faint ono strong agalu." In my dream I
hud arrived at Buffalo, given my bofik th an
Interesting Invalid of a girl who sat near me,
and whose modestly tlllod purse seemed to
forbid her tho boon of tho book albolt it was
So unusually otieap—Six pages of the profuse
ly Illustrated book tor each oent of Its dollar
and a half oostl And I had boon ropald by
her looks or gratitude. Then In my dream
tho onoo familiar aound of “ Dr. Pierce'
World's Dispensary and Invalids' Hotol” was
hoard from the healthy and attentive porters
awaiting the arrival of patlenta. Then I was
driven to the old place with its revlvllictulons
of architecture and comforts.
As 1 drove up 1 seemed to seo tho hotel In
a blaze of light, and hoard music and the
sounds of happy voices and of lightly moving
feet. More surprised than over before 1 waa
taken In hand by a fomulo attendant—as
bright-looking us these over arc In dream
land, and In a moment, ns it seemed, was clad
In full evening costume, and soon, escorted
by nn usher, was entering the grout dining
room, transformed Into u salon of reception.
At one end In hugo oleotrlo letters 1 saw the
words, “Welcome, restored old patients,"—at
the other ond, “ITr. Plorce, tho Hotel I'o.md-
er,”—in the oeutor of ono long sldo, "Golden
Medical Dlscovory,” and along the ceiling,
also In oleotrlo letters, "Purgatlvo l’ellots."
As soon as this wonderful spectuelo of
dreamland had become sufficiently natural
ized to my du/ed souses I looked around and
saw suoh happy congratulatory groups as
made me think 1 was Indeed in n phase of
Paradise. With words of whisi>ercd assur
ance, the usher led roo to tho highest por
tion of the room, whoro Bat a ClAopatru-llke
woman of rare beauty and condescending
oarrlago. "Permit mo, oh, Queen of Health,
to present to you anothor of your subjeots—
she who only a year ago was, without her
will, excluded from, but has now ro entered,
your dominions." Sho placed her cool hand
In mine, the whioh as I kissed a thrill of new
delight ran over my veins, and with n sccptro-
headod with a charmingly cut bottlo of silver
Dearlng In monogram the letters “O. M. D.,”
she touched both my eyes which scemod to
anew drink In the gorgeous sight around mo.
"And now,” said tho Queen of Health, "lot mo
present you to ray Prime Minister." Tlmod
with hergestureto tho right, I turned my eyes
and there saw, In evening costume, a robust
gentleman of medium stature, who was
In physique tho very ideal typo of
Amorlcan manhood. Ho seemed tho
very embodiment of healthful vigorous
vitality, and on his full lofty brow
I saw great Indications of comprehensive
mental power, sweet benevolonco, unvary
ing courtesy, tender sympathy, and business
sagacity. He smiled und extended Uls hand.
When 1 rocognl/cd him in the Instant, and
rushing Impetuously towards him seemed In
my dream to say, "Oh, Queen, this my pre
server, my evor-to be remombered physlclun.
Dr. Pierce.” He greeted me us warmly as l
greeted him. At this the music struck up
congratulatory chords in unison with the
beating of my heart, and lie whispered In my
ear, "My best delight (and to it 1 have given
my life, even at the sucriflco of a public
carer and promised honors) Is to benefit
those whom illness and disease afflict."
A fresh proocssion of guests arriving at the
foot of the throue of tho Queen of Health,
and demanding hor attention, as it seemod to
me in my exhilarating dream, as well us the
attention of hor Prime Minister Pioroe, I re
ceded with my esoort, and was soon mingling
with the happy groups, the members of which
seemed bent upon enthustastlorlly exchang
ing with each other memories of their happy
experience under tho advice, whether hsre or
at their homes, of Dr. Pierce, through his
books and through his medicines, now con
trolled by a syndicate of oapit&lists, under
the title of the " World's Dispensary Medical
Association." “I was a sickly sohool girl,"
Baid one, "Ignorant of tho very rudiments of
physiology, and a victim internally to tny Ig
norance, but the ‘ Med oal Adviser' recom-
meuded tho 'Favorite Prescription' and It soon
restored mo to bellchood. und here 1 am, full
of health and gratitude.'' Hor escort was
a Harvard studeut, who told me that a short
time previous ho had been worn by ludtscreet
alternations of Boston pleasure-seeking and
Cambridae study, a very martyr to poisoned
blood and dyspepsia,but "Medical Discovery,"
he Joyously added "not only made ir.e what
1 am, but, by it? co ut int u*e kc-ps me what
l am." As be mnve.l away with the young
lady, his affianced wife, I could not but regret
the small nuuibors In yond sqciiuy of as hand
some healthy young fellow:. a* he. "I,” re
marked a plutnp matron In black velvet and
diamonds, “had all the world oould give me ex-
copt health. We exhausted tbe bath* of Europe
and spent what to some would bo a fortune
on ‘eminent’ physicians of Paris, until I re
turned heme to die. But chanoe — mere
chance, I am now ashamed to sny — threw
Dr. Pierce's 'Favorite Prescription' in
my way, and all my weaknesses vanished
as tho dew before the rising mid summer
■tin. In two months I was a well woman.”
The powerful voice of a bffhitone,
prossod Into the servlceof a song—still In my
dream—at ono of the grand pianos of the In
valids’ hotel, aroused my wonder, and soon
tho possessor of the voice was exciting our
marvel by the narration of how he owed It,
after a total destruction of voltflj by bron
chitis, to an entire reoxygonntion of lungs
and throat, through " Gulden Discovery,"
whioh was now his oonstant companion.
Gracefully dancing In the ensuing quadrille.
1 saw a gentleman whom I waa assured had
not long ago been crippled with rheumatism
beyond even the palliation of the Hot Springs
of Arkansas, yet who, under "Golden Dl»-
oovery," had seemod to renew his strength,
like tho favored of the Psalmist's song. As
moved about from group to group, I heard
but one strain told In many ways—and
that how marvelously. In its one great
mission of purifying the blood
(whioh was the fountain of health
or disease) the Golden Medical Discovery
had come to their home*—In some Instanoes
after years of suffering and useless expendi
tures—to renovate, and to make the names of
Dr. Pierce and the World's Dispensary Medioal
Association household words of cheer. Some
had been cured by the Discovery of great
eating ulcers, that had gnawed sway at their
flesh for years despite all the usual remedies.
Others had been restored to the full vigor of
health after one lung had been wasted by
consumption (which Is scrofula of the lungs),
and after night-sweats, spitting of blood, and
kindred symptoms, had manifested them
selves. Various forms of sorofulous diseases,
as fever-sores, white swellings, and hip-joint
disease, had been conquered with the world-
famed blood-purlfler—Golden Medical Dis
covery.
Presently a bugle from the orchestra gave
the summons to supper and all tho guests be
gan to pair. Little Nubian boys In scarlet
uniforms (bright ns everything bright la In
dreamland) then glldod In benrlng little silken
jonnona, each exposing the words "Hope

of march, and which each guest joyfully bore
aloft. Anothor bugle cull for attention, and
I saw two vonerable, sweetfacod men of
Grcc au features approaching the Queen of
Health, holding In their hands two wreaths of
evergreen—tho veritable laurel from tbe
Athenian groves. She stepped from her
throne, as complaisant roonnrehs do, and
rnlsod them to her dnls. Another bugle for
■tlonco and sho spoke: "My guost*, before we
sup nn interesting ceremony remains. He
on my right is lllppoorates from the Spirit
Land. Ho oil my left Is Alsculaplus. They
come to crown our Dr. Pioroe with the great
laurels of Ills noble profession—they the great
Past Grand Masters of the Hoallng Art, who
boat know who Is conqueror of disease." In
a moment. Dr. Pierce was about bending his
knoo In respectful obeisance to these anolont
Professor? when a gosturo from both ar-
rostod him, as with dainty hut dignified mo
tions they placod upon his head the laurel
loaves -eaeli saving In a unison of musical
monotone, "Thou art our legitimate suc
cessor," while a burst of orchestral acclaim
and a chorus of thanks riving huzzas from the
guests arose, limn'd lately above this royal
and supernatiirally looking tableau 1 saw In
pillars of rosy light these irrent words, the
motto of the crowned Dr. Pierce, and which
reveals the so,not. ol' his almost divine suc
cess, “This lli.ooti is thu Lira."
And with thnt I awoke, in my quaint little
lodgings, to tlud (an unusual thing for I<on-
don at curly morning any day) oheery sun

A woman in Boston has nun for many
years a charity ol her own devising,
among people poorer than herself, and
lion done much good. Some of tbe rich
women found ont her work this winter,
organised a fhir and raised a sum of
money to help carry it on. Not content
with this, they proceeded to “organize"

To their surprise, sho thanked them

The Jew in Russia.
Prince Oemidoff-San Donato has writ
ten a pamphlet on Semitio affairs in
Russia. He first draws a comparison
between the persecutions of tbe Jews in
I Russia and Qermany. The affairs of
Kieff, Elisavetgrad and other places have
been of a very much more serious char
acter than anything that has taken place
in Germany. In Germany, says the
prinoe, the Jews have many privileges
Should anti-Semitic riots take place
there and the property of the Jews be
destroyed, the German Landreoht has a
very good way of settling suoh difficul
ties. It simply makes the entire number
of inhabitants, whether they have
played an active part in the affair or not,
responsible for the misohief done, and
makes them pay for it. In Russia it is
a different thing altogether. There the
Jew, not having the privileges and
rights of a citizen, becomes easily—
thanks to certain more or less praise
worthy singularities of the Jewish
national character—an object of hatred
and violence on the part of the inhabi
tants.
The Prinoe then goes into details
about the wretched condition of tbe
Jews of Russia, most of whom, he says,
lead a life of the most abject misery and
poverty. On the basis of official statis
tics he gives a sorrowful account of their
oondition. He quotes from one of the
official reporta from the provinoe of
Grodno, as follows:
“Nearly all the Jews here are of the
very poorest class, always ill used,
scarcely knowing where to get their
daily bread. Burdened with large fami
lies, they live herded together in a man
ner beyond all description. Very often
as many as ten and twelve families live
in three or four rooms. The food of the
poorer Jews is of the meanest kind; an
entire family has to subsist on a pound
of bread, eaten with a herring or a few
onions. A Jewish messenger will run
about the whole day long to earn seven
oents.” .
Citing again from an oJhoi&l account
of the Jews in the government of
