THE GHOST Of our boyhood resolved itself to an old tree when we had courage to examine it. Manhood lias its ghosts, which, 1 to the man who has courage to confront them, prove to be as harmless as the ghosts of boyhood. pne of the ghosts which scare a great many people is the ghost of lung dis ease.- But experi ence shows t^iis f host to be very armless. In cases almost innu merable " weak ” lungs have been made strong, ob stinate coughs stopped, and bronchial • affec tions cured by the use of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discover)'. And these cures have been wrought in many cases after the doctor had said—“There is no help for you.’* Don’t give in to the superstition of a past age. Give the w Golden Medical Discovery” a fair and faithful trial. It always helps. It almost always cures. ” When I commenced taking? your medicine eiphteen mouths ajjo, my health wa, completely broken down.” write; Mrs. Cora L. Sunderland, of Chaneyville, Calvert Co., Md. "At times I could not even walk across the room without pains in my chest. The doctor who attended me said I had lung trouble, and that I would never be well ngain. At last I concluded to t~y Dr. Pierce's medicines. I bought a bottle of 1 Golden Medical Discovery ' took It, and soon commenced to feel a little better; then you directed me to take both the ‘Golden Med ical Discovery 'and the ‘ Favorite Prescription.’ which I did. Altogether I have taken eighteen bottles of ‘ Golden Medical Discovery,’ twelve of the 'Favorite Prescription,' and five vials ,f * Pellets.’ I am now almost entirely well, and do all my work without any pain whatever, and cau run with more ease than I could formerly walk."

The now 10-iuoh well whloli is being sunk at the waterworks station .to (tug. meat the city’s water supply has reaohed a depth of 920 feet, and,the strata of sand whioh lies at that dopth has been entered. It is very difficult to sink a well through ,this sand strata, anrl it can not be done without casing the well os it is bored. The oasing is sunk and the sand pnmped out, and then the oaslug is sunk again. That is the prooowi .by whioh a well is sank through this sand, whioh is likely to bo several hnndrod feet thick. Owing to the fact that tho 10 inch casing h»s : not arrived, work on tho well had to be suspended yosterday af ternoon. It is probable that the easing will not arrive and the work'wlll not be resumed before the first of June. TWb delay, together with the delay on account of the drills not arriving when the work was first began on the well, will make Its sinking consatne a considerably longer time than was an ticipated. . NORTHERN PRESBYTERIANS. The Question of Revising the Confession of Faith to Come Up. Philadelphia, May 15 —Tho One Hun- dredand Thirteenth Proshyterian Gen eral Assembly began here thiB morning. Among tho Important matters to como before the assembly is the report of the Special Commit- tee •appointed a year ago to oonshler the question of revising the confession of faith. A majority ol the Presbyter ies favored some change, and the committee’s report is oxpeotod to oanse some lively debates. Another sub ject of moment which will receive oarefnl consideration is the prftpo- sition to establish a Supreme Oonrt, whose decisions shall be independent of the assembly, and whioh shall be final. There is also a growing disposition to ignore the ‘iPeoria overture,” whioh was adopted by the late assembly, and whioh takes away from the moderator the power to appoint the standing com mittees as a mere rule of order and al low the old custom to operate. It would save the city a good deal of expense it the new well at the water works station were oompleted now. PENSION SHARKS ' Line the Paths nl Soldiers Returning from the Philippine!. According to a Washington speoial tho Atlanta Journal, Pension Oommli' sioner H. Olay Evans is hot On tlii tracic of pension sharks who beast the soldiers now returning from the Phil- ' lppines. These attorneys or “RraftorB," as they are called, have oongregated es pecially in San Franoisco, Washington and New York. The commissioner has a numbor of speoial agents at these prints who are watohlng thoir move ments, and diBbarmont proooodlngs are likely to follow in many oases. It is said that tho attorney! even panne the salaries of thS men, so greody are th; for foes. . A report from one of tho special ngenl nays: •I find that generally, no matter un der what head their dlsohargo may oome, the noidiera, both regalara and volnntoera, are oooked and primed on pension mattbra und.all eager to seoare pensions. Whether thin is dad to pen sion literature that has been olronlnl In the Philippines or merely the rial desire of the soldier to stop from tin pay roll of the army to the pension pay roll, I am unableto.eay. However, tho- tact romains that they are most willing sabjeots of the pension attorneys. Them) solicitors are paid $2.ji0 for a gunshot wound oaso, «J for a straight disability case on surgeons’ certificate of disability, and from that the prices range down to $1, according as'the ele ment of uncertainty may enter the case." .
