A Miracle in Vermont.
THE WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE OF A
WELL-KNOWN CHELSEA MAN.
Stricken with an Incurable Dlseace and
yet Cured.
[From the Argun and Patriot, Montpelier, IT)
Eight year* ago Geo. Hatehiruon moved
from Bradford to Chelsea, Vt., and bought
the eawmill at the latter pluee. He was
known a* one of the atrongeat men in that
auction. On Dec. 20, ’!*2 while at work in
the mill, he mu struck in the back by a
flying board, which reriously injured him
and incapacitated him for work of any kind.
A' a result of thin, Locomotor Ataxia let in,
(this fa a f»rm of paralysis which deprive*
the patient of all use of hi* lower junta.)
The Aryix 4 Patriot. interviewed Mr. Initch
inion today, and his story is here given in
his own words.
“ .My back r-hed continually and my logs
began to grow numb and to be less and less
usable. By the 15th of April I could do
absolutely nothing and was scarcely able to
stand. My physicians advised me to go to
the Mary Fletcher Hospital at Burlington,
to be treated, and I took their advice. When
I left home my friends hade me good-bye,
never expecting to see me alive again.
Tho physicians at the hospital told me that
my case was a serious one and 1 was com
nletcly discouraged. I remained«, at tho*
hospital seven weeks and took the medicines
which the doctors gave me. I felt better at
the hosnital and thought that I was recover
ing, and went home to continue their treat
ment, which I did for two months, and also
had an electric battery under their advice.
The improvement, however, did not continue
find I begdn to give up hope. August Ist,
1893, 1 could not get out of my chair w’ithout
assistance, and if I got down upon the floor, I
could not get up alone. About this time I
chanced to read an account of the wonder
ful curative powers of Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills for Pale People in cases similar to my
own. I did not have any faith in the Pills
but thought a trial could do no harm, so I
bought some without telling anyone what I
was going to do. After I had been taking
them some time 1 found that, for the first time
in months I was able to walk down to the
post office, and my neighbors begun to dis
cuss tho marked improvement in my health.
As I continued the medicine I continued to
improve, and soon recommenced work in
tho mill, at first very lightly, and increasing
as 1 was able and as I gained in health and
spirits, and now for the past three months I
have been working ten hour* per day almost
ns steadily ns I ever did. I feel well, eat
well and sleep well ns I ever did and I have
no pain anywnere.”
The reporter talked with several other gen
tlemen in regard to the case of Mr. Hutchin
son, who stated that any statement he might
make would be entitled tn entire credence.
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pill* contain all the
element* necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are for sale by all druggists,

The Governor Refuses to Give
Beresford His Liberty.
Governor Atkinson has passed
an order in which ho refuses a par
don to Lord Beresford. In the of
ficial paper ho says that the appli
cant for pardon had a fair trial
and cites in support of this that
the case, after going through the
state courts even went into the
.supreme court of the United States
by which tho verdict of tho lower
[courts was allowed to stand.
Reference is made to Beresford’s
flight to New York, where ho made
a stubborn fight to keep away
from the state whi rein tho crime
was committed, and also to tho
fact that he deserted his bondsmen
and fled while a motion for a new
trial was pending. Tho governor
c ills attention to tho fact that
neither Judge Maddox nor Judge
Henry asked for his pardon to bo
issued, although tho case was tried
before them, and they were famil
iar with it in all its branches.
Tho governor says that there is
nothing in tho case to warrant ex
ecutive clemency.

A FINE POEM.
History of Gen. Lytle's Immortal
Verses. “I am Dying, Egypt
Dying.”
One of the finest poems in the
modern literature of song is that
j one known everywhere by its first
pathetic line,
“I am dying, Egypt, dying,”
[ and which was written by Gen.
■ M illiam Haines Lytle on the eve
of the battle of Chickamauga. The
Detroit Free Press says it is in->
debted to the late Col. Realf,poet
author and soldier, who shared the
fortunes of war with his friend,
Gen. Lytle for an account of the
peculiar circumstances \yider
which the poem was written. Col.
Reals shared tho tent of Gen. Ly
tle on the night preceding the bat
tle. The two friends were both
given to writing poems at such
times, and each had an unfinished
poem on hand. They road and
criticised each other’s efforts hu
morously for some time, when
Lytle said, with a grave smile:
“Reals, I shall never live to fin
ish that poem.”
“Nonesense,” said his friend,
“you will live to write volumes of
such stuff.” •
“No,” said the general, solemnly
“as I was speaking to you a feel
ing came over me suddenly, which
is more startling than prophecy,
that I shall be killed in tomorrew’s
fight.”
Col. Reals asked him to define
this feeling, and he said:
“As I was talking to you I saw
the green hills of Ohio as they
looked when I stood among them.
They began to recede from me in
a weird way—and as they disap
peared the conviction flashed
through me like the lightning’s
shock that I should never see them
again.”
Gen. Lytle was a native of Ohio,
and dearly loved his birth state.
Col. Reals laughed at his friend
’ad„fhllied him upon his supersti
tion, but acknowledged afterward
that he became so thrilled himself
with an unnatural fear that he
begged the General to finish the
poem before he slept that such fine
work might not be lost to the
world. In the small hours General
Lytle awakened his friend from
the slumber into which he had fal
len to read to him that beautiful
poem, which must live as long as
our literature survives.
Imagine the scene. The two
men, united by the bonds of friend
ship, of congenial tastes, both rea
dy and willing to face death on the
morning in its direst form, scan
ning by the light of their tent lan
tern each other’s features, when
the finished poem had been read
aloud.
Col. Reals said that his own eyes
filled with tears, but the General
said not a word, as he placed the
manuscript in his pocket and lay
down to his last night’s rest upon
this earth.
Before dawn came the call to
arms. When Reals next saw his
friend he lay cold in death among
the heaps of slain. Then he thought
of the poem, and searching the
pocket where he had seen him
place it, he drew it forth, and for
warded it to Gen. Lytle’s friends
with his other effects. We give
the poem in its entirety, feeling
sure all will renew their admira
tion of it, when they read under
what tragic circumstances it was
written:
Antony and Cleopatra.
I am dying, Egypt, dying!
Ebbs the crimson life-tide fast,
And the dark Pintonian shadows.
Gather on the evening blast.
Let thine arm, O queen, support me,
Hush thy sobs and bow thine ear,
Harken to the great heart secrets
Thou and thou alone must hear.
Though my scarred and veteran le
gions
Rear their eagles high no more,
And my wrecked and scattered galleys
Strew dark Actium’s fatal shore;
Though no glittering guards surround
me,
Prompt to do their master’s will,
I must perish like a Roman—
Die the great Triumvit still!
Let no Caesar’s servile minion
Mock the lion thus laid low;
’Twas no foeman’s arm that felled him.
’Twas Ins own that dealt the blow—
His, who, pillowed on thy bosom
Turned aside from glory’s ray—■
His, who, drunk with thy caresses,
Madly threw a world away.
Should the base plebeian rabble
Dare assail my fame in Rome,
Where my uoble spouse, Octavia,
Weeps within her widowed home.
Seek her! Say the gods have told me—
Altars, augurs, circling wings—
That her blood with mine commingled,
Yet shall mount the throne of kings.
As for thee, star-eyed Egyptian!
Glorious sorceress of the Nile!
Light the path to Stygian horrors
With the splendors of thy smile.
Give to Caesar crowns and riches;
Let his brow his laurel twine;
I can scorn the Senate’s triumphs,
Triumphing in love like thine.
I am dying, Egypt, dying!
Hark! the insulting foeman’s cry;
They are coming! Quick, ray falchion!
Let me front them ere I die.
Ah! no more amid the battle
Shall my heart exulting swell;
Isis and Osiris guard thee—
Cleopatra—Rome—farewell.

Absolutely pure
A GRATEFUL SNAKE.
It Was Clever and Repaid
Kindness in Its Own Coin.
Edgar B. Haymond, one of San
Francisco’s barristers, has been a
close student of natural history,
and has succeeded in gathering
some very interesting information
regarding the birds of the air, the
beasts of the land, the fishes of the
sea. Incidentally he has been able
to collect a few snake statistics.
“I once know a case,” said Mr.
Haymond to some ready listeners
in the Occidental hotel last night,
“whorein a snake displayed not
only an unusual amount of affec
tion, but a great deal of courage.
It appears that some years ago a
professor of natural history from
an eastern university was sent to
the southern part of Yucatan to
investigate the snakes of that sec
tion. I might state that he was a
humane man and frequently dis
played it. One afternoon while
walking over a desert, thinking of
little but the time he would arrive
at camp, he heard a peculiar rat
tling sound that seemed to come
from under a pile of rocks. He at
once made an investigation and
was rewarded by the discovery of
a mastodon rattlesnake, which he
was on the point of dispatching so
as to put it out of misery, as the
rocks had so fallen that a portion
of the snake’s body was badly
mangled and torn. In the matter
of taking the reptile’s life'he hesi
tated, owing to the pathetic and
pleading expression in the wound
ed creature’s eyes. It quite un
nerved him to commit murder, so
he rolled the rocks off, and await
ed results, which came in the shape
of very pronounced gratitude. The
delighted and thankful creature
wriggled over to him and rubbed
his leg with a grateful air that was
bound to last. The professor was
moved by this exhibition, and
having some cotton in his valise,
he bound up the wounded part and
left the snake as comfortable as
possible. The next day ho left
Yucatan for Guatemala and was
gone over five years. On his re
turn to Yucatan he again had oc
casion to pass over the desert, and
greatly to his surprise, encountered
the same reptile a few miles from
where the previous accident had
occurred. The recognition was
mutual and the joyful rattler coil
ed about his leg, licked his hand
with a friendly tongue and showed
marked and industrious apprecia
tion. When the professor took up
his march again the snake follow
ed him and even insisted upon get
ting in the wago.i and becoming a
regular occupant.”
‘Lt ok here, Edgar, ain’t you go
ing a little too far with that yarn?”
inquired a friend.
“Not as far as the snake is go
ing. To continue. He finally got
back east and had for a travelling
companion the snake, which was
allowed to wander at will. As a
natural consequence the professor
and his dumb companion became
the best of chums, and it was a
common thing to see the natural
ist walking out in the road with
his snake gliding along beside him.
Well—now here comes the real
point of the story—one night after
the professor had retired and left
the snake downstairs in the din
ing room he was suddenly awak
ened by the crash of falling glass,
followed by the falling of a heavy
body. He rose up in his bed only
to hear a groan and the crushing
of bones. In a flash he bounded
into his dressing gown and repair
ed to the room whence came the
sounds of strife. Imagine his hor
ror on striking a light to see his
pet snake coiled around a man’s
bleeding body, which it had lashed
to the stove and was hugging vio
lently. On the floor was a bur
glar’s dark lantern and a kit of
tools, while the snake, in order to
display its presence of mind, had
his tail out of the window—”
“What for?” inquired a listener
in breathless excitement.

Hood’s Sarsaparilla is peculiar
to itself, in a strictly medicinal
sense, in three important particu
lars, viz: first, in the combination
of remedial agents used ; second,
in the proportion in which they
are mixed; third, in the process
by which the active curative pro
perties of the preparation are se
cured. Those three important
points make Hood’s Sarsaparilla
peculiar in its medicinal aierit, as
it accomplishes cures hitherto un
known.
But it is not what wo say but
what Hood’s Sarsaparilla does,
that tells the story. What Hood’s
Sarsaparilla has done for others is
reason for confidence that it is the
medicine for you.
