TIMELY TOPICS.
One of the mining companies at
t . Xorth Bloom Nevada. comnleted
a clean up after twenty days' washing,
and the result was a gold barseventeen
inches long, seven inches wide and
eight inches thick, valued at about
$115,000. It weighs about 450 pounds, i
and is the largest gold bar ever cast in
the United States.
It is said that within the present de
cade Montana is likely to head all th
States and Territories in the produci
tion of cattle. Four years ago there
were not more than 6,000 head in the
^ Territory, this season there will be
about 50.00O sold from there, and the
prospect is that the stock-raising busi-;
ncss will continue to increase very
| rapidly for a long time.
t
Pelee Island, Lake Erie, the south- j
ernmost land in Canada, must be a
good place in which to live. It is said
to possess a climate which produces j
superior wines, sugar cane, peanuts,
sweet potatoes, all small fruits, Sgs, :
almonds and cotton. The last product,
' incredible as it may seem, has beer
raised for several seasons. The win- j
ters are very mild, the temperature
r averaging abouc sixty degrees.

Commissioner Loring, of the United j
States agricultural bureau, offered.
$14,000 in prizes for essays upon I
r various branches of husbandry, design- j
ing to pay the prizes from the appro
priation for experiments in beet sugar j
and sorghum culture; but First j
Comptroller Lawrence, of the treasury :
department, apprised the commissioner
that the intended diversion of money j
_ .. without the authority of Congress I
~~~ would be illegal.

Here. is a remarkable statement;

wealth of the .State of New York is
estimated at $7,000,000,000. This is :
about a seventh of the estimated

William II. Vanderbilt is supposed I
upon the best of grounds to be worth
$150,000,000. This would make him j
Wv * - him the possessor of about one forty- j
==* . sixth part of all the wealth of the Empire
State, and of about one hundred
and twenty-second part of that of the
k whole country. That is to say that
this individual, in a population of over
50,000,000 of people in the United
States, represents in wealth the imDortance
of nearlv 200,000.
There is a little romance in the association
of the new tenor, Biorkstein,
with Christine ZS'ilsson. the Swedish |
nightingale. He is a young Swede, j
aged twenty-three, and while a boy J
vowed in the name of the prima donna ;
to devote himself to music, though'
destined by his parents for the navy.'
"When Xilsson was last at Stockholm !
Biorkstein was a persistent follower, j
and she was somewhat annoyed by his j
attentions, but one evening she was;
serenaded and was struck by the clear I
tones of the tenor of the quartette,
and sent for the singer, who proved to
be her young admirer. She took him
under her patronage, and placed him
under one of the best masters in
Paris.

use of the spelling-book. "When a j
word stood by itself, it was dead, he ;
said ; when put into a sentence, it had
life; and a spelling-book generally did j
more harm than good. He ridiculed
the popular method of teaching elocution.
and declared that pupils could
deliver the speeches of Webster, ^Calhoun
and Clay fineiy, but when asked
to rca.l a newspaper could not do so

France and Germany have by far the

Britain conveyed the largest number ;

United States ranking second, with

An immense amount of harm hasj
"been done by the current notion that
in order to make any structure fire-1
proof it must be incombustible. Me-1
chanics says this has been one of the ;
leading reasons which has prevented I
steamboat men from attempting to
make the upper works of our river |
steamers fireproof. The fallacy of the J
idea is easily seen when we consider j
that cast-iron buildings have been j
utterly destroyed by tire, and that!
?. -- wooden buildings have had whole 1
floors bnrned out without injuring!
other portions of the building above or
below. "What is needed is a structure j

cert:an parts of the joiner work of our
river steamers they can be rendered :
no far fireproof that when flames break

or in the freight, the fire will spread so
slowly that it can be controlled.
The will of Miss Barbara Scott, a :
wretched old woman who inherited
several fortunes and increased them
by every means which her miserly instincts
could devise, has been upheld
by the superior court in Montreal.
MeGill university gets $40,000, and
various hospitals, churches an'd charitable
instil utions receive the rest. For
years before her death she lived iso- i
iated in the old familv mansion in the '
suourbs oi me cuy, unm me uui anu ;
filth became so intolerable that the
board of health was forced to interfere.
She refused even to employ a
female domestic, but allowed an old i
man to visit the house daily to do i
chores. She died without an attendant,
and when the executors took possession
thousands of dollars were found rolled i
up in scraps of old paper. Not the
least remnant of food was discovered
in the house, and the doctors thought
she starved herself to death. The
relatives, who were practically ignored,
tried to break the will on the ground
B of insanity, but the court held that!
t:ie testatrix was of disposing mind
j^^^^jchough eccentric.

<Ience in Christian courts of justice, j
I In England it is the custom to break a j
I china saucer over the head of the Chi- i
Hj nese witness: and this is supposed to !
I insure truth-tilling. There was a

such cases, if he understood the na* t

the witness with the utmost confidence;!
" I know that if I tell a lie even' one
in the court will be damned." An j:
equally amusing illustration of the ig- j
norance of the Chinese in the matter
of our judicial oath was furnished j
some time ago by the native usher in !:
the consular court at Shanghai. He
was observed to be making an anxious; 1

From 12,000 to 15,000 carp ponds in ; |
ali have been stocked since the United j
States fish commission began the;
work. About 11,000 applications are
now on file from different parts of the
Union, and new applications are con-! '
stantly received at the rate of fifty to j :
one hundred per day. As the value of I
the carp for food, the ease with which j
it is kept, and the rapidity with which I 1
the species multiplies, as well as that: J
oi its growtn, oecome Known m a i
county or neighborhood, the demand!
for young fish to stock new ponds of i
course increases. The hardy constitu- j
tion of the carp renders its transpor- i
tation alive and in good condition from ;
place to place an easy matter, and is i
another strong point in its favor.
Small tin buckets partly filled with
water are now extensively used for
this purpose. Each of these buckets
has a capacity of about one gallon
and is fitted with a cover, in which are
two small holes for the admission oi'
air. Twenty young fish can make a
long journey by express in one of these
buckets very comfortably without a (
change of water. It has been found
by experience that the young fish
taken from the water in the spring
nnnpar to be more tender and do not ;
"r r -- ? -bear
transportation so Avell as those
taken in the autumn. It is found, j
too, that the growth of the carp in j
the South is about twice as rapid iis in
the Xorth. :

Food Hakes the Man.
Speaking roughly, says the Lancet 1
man is constituted by the 1 i
fluid he consumes, and the remaining j
fourth by the solid material he appro- j
priates. It is therefore no figure of j
speech to say that food makes the man. i
AVe might even put the case in a !
stronger light and affirm that man is j
his food. It is strictly and literally 1
true, that "A man who drinks beer !
thinks beer." We make this conces- j
sion to the teetotalers, and will add j
that good sound beer is by no means a !
bad thought factor, whatever may be i
the intellectual value of the commodity j
commonly sold and consumed under |
that name! It cannot obviously be a
matter of indifference what a man eats j
and drinks. He is, in fact, choosing \
his animal and moral character j
when he selects his food. It is
impossible fcfr him to change his j
inherited nature, simply because
modifications of development occupy '
more than an individual life, but he j
can help to make the particular stock j
to which ne ueiongs more or it-ss uct-x v
or fleshy or watery, and so on. by the
way he feeds. We know the effect the
feeding of animals lias on their temper
and very natures; how the dog fed
on raw meat and chained up so that
he cannot work off the superfluous nitrogenized
material by exercise becomes
a savage beast, while the same creature |
fed on bread and milk would be tame j
as a lamb. The same law of results is j
applicable to' man, and every living or- !
ganism is propagated "in its kind"
with a physical mental likeness. This
is the underlying principle of development.
Happily the truth is beginning,
though slowly and imperfectly, to find
a recognition it has long been denied, j

How to Pluck Poultry.
I have known persons on market t
clav to go out and kill t welve or fifteen c
fowls and to bring them into a room ! c
where there would be half a dozen I \

at a time between their thumb and j e

Now for the benetit of such I will give i
our plan : Hang the fowl by the feet i c
by a small cord; then with a small a
knife give one cut. across the upper r
jaw, opposite the corners of the mouth, i
After the blood has stopped running a c
stream place the point of the knife in s

mouth, run the blade up into the back f
part of the head, which will cause a J t

Preservation of Harness. s
We give herewith a few hints on the t
proper care of a harness. A harness
that has been on a horse's back several ,
hours in a hot day becomes wet and t
iirty, and if not properly cleaned it s
soon loses its finish and the stitches rot s
md break. Immediately after re- s
moving the harness from the horses it "T
should be thoroughly wiped with a dry
:loth, and every strap straightened out ?
and hung up. Twisting up reins and ?
traces does them a permanent injury, f
and if wet when twisted and allowed t
to remain in twist until dry, they will c
become set and when straightened out x
the stiching will be greatly weakened r
if not broken preserve a harness t
the first_poi^?(go keep ?~c
soft and wefffnieS. with grease, not s
covered with grease on tne suriace,
but all the pores filled so as to keep out ^
water. "Water absorbs grease rapidly A
and is destructive of the leather and ,
mountings. Mud in drying absorbs ^
the grease and leaves spots upon the c
Ieather. The perspiration from the f
animal, while absorbing the grease, (
injures the leather by its saliva prop- ?
erties, and if a harness is to be well ?
kept it must be cleaned of all its de- [
stroying elements. Cleaning whenever s
used is the only safe way; yet it seldom j
occurs that a harness is cleaned more (
than once or twice a month. The
proper course is to clean by rubbing
with a dry cloth every time the
harness is used, and when all the ?
straps are nearly dry, rub them with j
a cloth that is well saturated with
grease and lamp-black. As often ,
as once a month the harness should be
t;.ken apart, every strap unbuckled 1
and all mountings removed that can
be ; each strap should then be brushed ^
to remove the dust from the surface 1
and in and around the stitching, then (
rubbed with a dry woolen cloth. If
red spots show themselves on the <*
leather where it has been rubbed, color :

allow the straps to remain in the grease several
hours, then rub off the surplus ]
by a rag ; rub thoroughly so as to clean ,
oil the surplus grease and to give a 1
good finish to the lather. All steel
mountings should be kept in quick- ,
lime ; silver and brass can be cleaned J
with tripoli, or by rotten stone, or by I
some of the scouring soaps.
American Cattle.
The New England Farmer, in an
article on the cultivation of a liome ,
breed of cattle that shall take the
place of the foreign breeds that are
valuable for a special purpose, says:
"What we want is a cow of good
size, so that her steer calves will, when
grown, make oxen that can draw a
full load. Her form should be such
that when her days of usefulness are
beginning to be numbered she will
bring a good price at the butcher's, and |
she should be so good a milker that j
she can feed her own calf and after- \
ward supply the family with miik, but- I
ter or cheese for a number of months, j
It is not necessary that she;
should be so much given to J
milk that she cannot be dried :
off with safety before calving. The J
general purpose cow, weighing from i
nine to twelve hundred pounds alive,!
should produce st eers that will easily j
weigh thirty hundred pounds per pair !
at four to five years old, and she j
should be able to give from twelve to !
sixteen quarts of milk per day for five !'
or six months, that will make a pound j
of butter per day. or two hundred j
pounds per year. Such cows can be 1
' 5 ' ~? - .ill /iiif-frtrCii'rrn 1T>(1 I

native breeds of cattle, and they are
always in demand, just as a good,
lively, intelligent, round built, ten-hundred
family horse is always in demand.
Such animals will find more buyers :
than any other class, simply because j
they are adapted to the wants of a'
greater number of persons than is any i
other class.
The time must come, sooner or
later, when an animal will be valued !
according to its ability to do, and not
for its family connections alone, and
when that time does come the great j
milker of one breed will be on about j
the same level with the great milker of j
another breed, and the beef animal I
will be valued not so much on account
of his place in the herd book as from '
the fact that he can lay on more pounds j
of good meat on his bones for the .
amount of food consumed, than can i
some animal. It is true that we have 1
no American breed of cattle now.
There are a few farmers scattered

who bave for a longer or shorter]
)eriod beeu orceuing American cows |
vith skill and good judgment. There :
ir*> a few such herds in the vicinity of I
Worcester, Mass. They have descended j
'roin some extra good mother cows, j
tnd their offspring are doing credit j
)oth to their parentage and to their j
breeders.
If every American farmer, who j
inds himself possessed of a superior \
:ow, would strive to perpetuate her i
tock and let her calves take the place
>f the inferior animals which are too
>ften kept for breeders, the time would
ome after awhile that we could have
tn American breed of cows of such
ligh excellence that there would be

A Big Li zard.
While we were ha\ ing bath and coffee
the next morning, two of our men
had rowed over to an island contiguous
to our own, and brought away a couple
of guanas, or iguana-, as they are more
properly termed. They had caught j
them on the trees overhanging the sea j
with a rod and noose, which they had j
managed to throw over their heads. :
These animals are so stupid that they j
will allow themselves to be trapped in j
this manner without even an effort tc '
escape, and this mode of catching them !
is constantly practiced. It must be j
done, however, by skilled hands, as I I
have often tried it myself, but could !
never succeed; those I obtained were
always shot. They { .re capital for tiie
table, the flesh when divested of the
skin being white as t hat of a chicken,and
quite as delicate in flavor; indeed,
were it not for the shape of the bones
and joints, no difference could be per- j
ceived, but if there is any I am inclined i
to give the preference to the guana, i
The guana is of the lizard tribe, about !
three and a half feet long from the !
point of the nose to the tip of the tail, |
which is two-thirds of the length ot |
the body. It is of a dark dingy blue, j
tinged with green, the sides of a yel- j
lowish green, with black spots; there |
is a saw-like ridge running the whole !
length of its scaly back to the end of I
the tail, which gives it a fierce appear- i

A pretty story is told about four j
homeless working girls in Xew York
who determined to abandon the hor- j
rid boarding-house, pool their earnings
and make themselv-s as real a home as '
can be found beyona a parent's roof, i
They rented a third-story ilat and |

were obliged to start with only one i
room carpeted, a stove, some ' chairs, a j
clock, a table, a few cups and dishes, j
knives and forks, and two mattresses, i
but no bedsteads. Little by little the
furniture was increased; now by a |
chair, next by a bedstead, again by a bureau,
and so on until from being com
plete extras were added. One of the
girls got $20 a week as a milliner; an- :
other $12 as a clerk in a Broadway cand v i
store; another got $10 or $12 some- ;
where else, and the fourth was a dress- i
maker, and because she worked at {
home was made housekeeper and called j
steward of the club. Until the house |
was furnished all pooled their earnings,
but since then each has paid every i

A Storr of Court Eii:jnctto.
Lady Florence Dixie writes to the
Dublin Freeman's Journal: " In the
Irishman of, I think, two or three
weeks back, there appeared under the
head of 'Query't* e ,'ollovving question: i

some years ago the subject of re- j
mark in London 'society'papers was ;
in each and all related in the |
form of a joke, and may be truthfully ;
and simply explained as follows: j
During o.ne of my many expeditions to j
foreign parts I had occasion, for con- ;
venience sake, to cut my hair short, j
and on my return to England was pre- ;
sented at court on the occasion of my
marriage. I was very young then, and
though I had been to court before I
was not aware that the etiquette of
same was so stringent that a head uncrowned
by feathers was not the right

wear them. The result was a letter
next day from the lord chamberlain,
reminding me that it was not etiquette
to attend her majesty's drawing-room
without feathers and lace on the head,
and begging the next time I attended
a drawing-room to kindly
observe this rule. To this communication
I at once replied, expressing
my regret at having unintentionally
infringed the etiquette of court
rules, and there the matter dropped.
Later on an order came out in the
Court Journal regulating the number
of feathers and the length of veil
which court rules for the future enforced
on those who were desirous of
attending drawing-rooms. The subject
for a short time;,gave the; society
journals goocLfoodfor and harmless

h%uffiy jlluied. It not, however, being
f^fpecjiliar ambition of my life to attend
driving-rooms at court, nor to
wear false?hair in order mat i may oe
enabled tc3 don feathers and a veil, I
have simp^ preferred to keep my hair
short and to- forego that ' immense
pleasure!' of attending any more
drawing-rooms."
Fashion Notes.
Dolmans remain in vogue.
Feather bands will be much worn.
Beaded bonnets are much in vogue.
Both long and short cloaks will be
worn.
Mousquetaire gloves take precedence
of all others.
Velveteen is the popular dress of the
English woman.
Small Talma mantles are worn at
present in Paris.
In millinery llowers are almost superseded
by leaves.
Red is the favorite color for plush
and velvet turbans.
The Russian redingote has become
too common for street wear.
As many bonnets have low and flat
crowns as high, upright ones.
The popular gimps are either metallic
and military or of satin cord.
Bands of grebe appear on some of
the handsomest bonnets and turbans.
Redingotes and overcoats will be
trimmed with furs as the season ad- j
> CllXV/^O.
Bustles are not worn by the most
fastidious and exclusively fashionable
women.
Black and dark-colored kid gloves
will be popular for evening wear this
winter.
High round collars, fastened in front
with a tiny gold stud, are again fashionable.
I
Chenille marabout ruches and !
fringes trim many handsome wraps
and dresses
Le?tuf bonnets trimmed with
leather ,e are the latest freak of
Parisian fancy.
Turbans, to be fashionably worn,
must not conceal the bangs or waves
on the forehead.
Leading Xew York dressmakers do
not make up suits or costumes to be
worn over hoops or bustles.
The handsomest hats are made of
velvet, and are trimmed with from two
to twenty-two ostrich plumes.
Larsre collars of embroidery, or heavy
lace, with cuffs to match, form a part
of every dressy suit for little girls or
boys.
Long plain cloth pelisses, finished
with collars and cuffs of plush, are the
first fall wraps for every-day and business
purposes.
Large long buckles in colored and
iridescent metals are used to fasten
the looped draperies of silk and fine
woolen dresses.
Many handsome tailor-made suits are
composed of a good and substantial
quality of black or dark brown or dark
green cashmere.
The use of ruby red, terra cotta
electric blue and other "art colors"
in children's garments makes them
more picturesque than ever.
Fancy contrasts in bonnets and hats
is the latest fashion shown, having
the crown of one color and the brim
of another, and the liking of red for
green is seen in many of these two
colors.
In the new silver jewelry, darkened
to resemble old silver, many humorous
conceits appear. Comic faces are on
I the brooch, while others have Green
away children, owls, monkeys, doves
and fighting cocks.

TTe were at a railroad station one
night last week waiting a few hours
for a train, in the waiting-room, in the
only rocking-chair, trying to talk a
brown-eyed boy to sleep, who talks a
great deal when he wants to keep
awake. Presently a freight train arrived,
and a beautiful little old woman
came in, escorted by a great big Ger

giving her evidently lots of information
about the route she was going,
and telling her about her tickets and
her baggage check, and occasionally
patting her on the arm. At first our
United States baby, who did not understand
German, was tickled to hear
them talk, and he "snickered" at the
peculiar sound of the language that
was being spoken. The great big man
put his hand up to the good old lady's
cheek, and said something encouraging,
and a great big tear came to her eye,
and she looked as happy as a queeu.
The little brov/n eyes of the boy
opened pretty big, and his face sobered
down from its laugh, and he said:
"Papa, it is his mother !" We knew
it was. but how should a four-year-old
sleepy baby, that couldn't understand
German, tell that the lady was the big
man's mother, and we asked him how
he knew, and he said: "Oh, the big
man was so kind to her.'1 The big
man bustled out, we gave the rockingchair
to the little old mother, and
presently the man came in with a baggage
man, and to him he spoke in
English. He said: "This is my
mother, and she does not speak ?nglisd.
She is going to Iowa, and I have
got to go back 011 the next train, but I
want you to attend to ' her baggage
and see her on the right car, the rear
car, with a good seat near the center,
and tell the conductor she's my mother.
And here's a dollar for you, and I will
do as much for your mother some
time." The baggage man grasped the
dollar with one hand and grasped the
big man's hand with the other
and looked at the little German
with an expression that showed
that lie had a mother too, and we almost
know the old lady was well
treated. Then we put the sleeping
mind-reader on a bench and went out
on the platform and got acquainted
with the big German, and he talked
of horse-trading, buying and selling
and everything that showed he was a
live business man, ready for any speculation,
from buying a yearling colt to'
a crop of hops or barley, and that his
life was a busy one ana at times lull
of hard work, disappointment, hard
roads; but with all of his hurry and
excitement he was kind to his mother,
and we loved him just a little, and
when, after a few minutes' talk about
business, he said: "You must excuse
me; I must go in the depot and see if
my mother wants anything," we felt
like taking his fat red hand and kissing
it. Oh ! the love of the mother is the
same in any language, and it is good
in all languages.?Burlington Hawkeye.
Costly Furs.
The principal call now is for fur of
the fur-seal and sea-otter, says a Xew
York paper. Of the latter about 5,000
are taken yearly. They are only found
in the Xortli Pacific islands. The
best skins are valued from one hundred
to five hundred dollars, and are
especially affected bv the wealthy Chi- !
nese. The Russian sable?though why
so named is an enigma, the choicest
specimens coming rrom ivaintciniiKa?
is extremely f<asliionable throughout
the world, the fur being valued for its
great beauty, and being unique from
tue ?act the-hairs turn and lie
equally well in ?jij position. 35 The ;
animal is related to ilie weiist*, pine
and stone martens, mink, etc., but exceeds
them all in the beauty and length
of the over hair ; that is long, flowing
and o f a rich bluish dark shade, wearing
extremely well, the pelt being
tough and durable. Xearly 100,000
are caught yearly at all points, bringing
from ?30 to $150 a skin, and ihe
lady who would wear a perfect set o?
furs from it must pay nearly $2,000.
The American marten?from Labrador
and Great Whale river?is much
in demand. Artists' brushes are
made from the hairs of the tail, and
for this and other purposes over
130,000 are captured yearly, valued at
$25 per skin for the best. Of pine

brown, being often passed off by dishonest
dealers as Russian sable. In
this country the better class of mink
retains its popularity, the dark chestnut
browns and blacks being rich and
elegant in the extreme, and often
passed off upon the innocent purchaser
as Russian sable. The dark
blue, lustrous shades are most admired,
and come from Maine, Nova
Scotia, the Middle and Northwestern
States. The trappers realize, or
should, from $5 to $25 per skin for the
250,000 animals killed yearly,
Ermine skins are now rated at
about $150 apiece, and the coat of
Louis IX. was probably worth at the
time $2,500. One of the most fashionable
furs is that of the silver fox.
It is a rich, dee]), glossy black, with
a bluish tincre. So beautiful are they
that $500 has been given for a single
skin, anil La lloutan states that in his
time the skin of one of these foxes
brought its weight in gold. Skins frequently
bring $250. Of the 2,000
caught yearly, about 1.000 are used in
England, and they are occasionally
seen on the streets of New York.
Cheap grades of furs arc made from
the Siberian squirrel, muskrats, rabbits,
wildcats, badger, coon and even
the domestic cat, of which 1,000,000
and over are killed yearly ; yet the attentive
observer about Xew York is
often reminded and forced to observe
the supply exceeds the demand. Other
animals used in trimming, etc., are
lions, tigers and bears. Of the former
500 are used by the trade every year,
while 20,000 bears, 500 tigers, 100,000
buffalo, 100,000 chinchillas and (5,000,j
000 squirrels have been and are used
i yearly in various branches of trade,

Cinders in tne i-ye.
Persons traveling by railway are
subject to continued annoyance bv flying
cinders. On getting into the eyes
these are not only painful for the moment,
but are often the cause of long
! suffering that ends in a total loss of
! sight. A very simple and effective
| cure is within the reach of every one,
j and would prevent much suffering and
j expense were it generally known. It
! is simply one or two grains of flaxseed,
i These may be placed in the eye with!
out injury or pain to that delicate
j organ, and shortly they begin to swell
; and dissolve a glutinous substance
| that covers the ball of the eye, enj
veloping any foreign substance that
I may be in it. The irritation of cutting
| the membrane is thus prevented and
the annoyance may soon he washed
out. A dozen of these stowed away
in the vest pocket may prove in an
j emergency worth their number in gold.

A PROFESSIONAL COyTESSIPy.
Tke Unasa&l Experience of a Prominent
Man .tlade Public.
T>iPt following article from the Democrat
and Chronicle, of Sochester, N. Y., is of so
striking a nature, a=d emanates from so reliable
a source, that it is herewith re-published
entire. Li addition to the valuable
matter it contains, it will be found exceed- j
ingly interesting.
To the Editor of the Democrat and Chronicle:
Sib: My motives for the publication of the
most unusual statements which follow are, i
first, gratitude for the fact that I have been
saved from a most horrible death, and, sec- i
ondly, a desire to warn all who read this j
statement against some of the most decep- i
tive influences by which they have ever been !
surrounded. It is a fact that to-day thou- j
saads of people are within a foot of the !
grave and they do not know it. To tell how j
I was caught away from just this position j
and to warn others against nearing it, are
my objects in this communication.
On the first day of June 1S61,1 lay at my
residence in this city surrounded by m7 i

only knows the agony I then endured, for |
words can never describe it. And yet, if a
few years previous, any one had told me that !
I was to be brought so low, and by so ierri- |
ble a disease, I should have scoffed at the j
idea. I had always been uncommonly strong |
and healthy, had weighed<>ver 200 pounds and I
hardly knew, in. my own experience, what j
pain or sickness were. Very many people
who will read this statement realize at times
that they are unusually tired and cannot
account for it. They feel dull and indefinite
pains in various parts of the body
and do not understand it. Or they are exceedingly
hungry one day and eutirely without
appetite the next This was just the
way I felt when the relentless malady which
had fastened itself upon me first began.
Still I thought it was nothing; that probably
I had taken a cold which would soon pass
away. Shortly after this I noticed a dull,
and at times a neuralgic, pain in my head,
but as it would come one day and be gone l
the next, I paid but little attention to it. I
However, my stomach was out of order and
my food often failed to digest, causing at
times great inconvenience. Yet I had
no idea, even as a physician, that
these things meant anything serious or
that a moD itrous disease was becoming fixed
upon me- Candidly, I thought I was suffering
from Malaria and so doctored myself
accordingly. But I got no better. I next
noticed a peculiar color and odor about the
fluids I was passing?also that there were
large quantities one day and very little the
next, and that a persistent froth and scum
appeared upon the surface, and a sediment

settled in tne Dotcom. anu yes, ? uiu uut re- |
alize my danger, for, indeed, seeing these I
symptoms continually, I finally became ac- j
customed to them, and my suspicion, was
wholly disarmed by the fact that I had no
pain in the affected organs or in their
vicinity. Why I should have been so blind I
cannot understand.
There is a terrible future for all physical
neglect, and impending danger always bringB
a person to his senses even though it may j
then be too late. I realized, at last, my crit- j
ical condition and aroused myself to over- |
como it. And, Oh ! how hard I tried 11 con- |
suited the best medical skill in the land. I !
visited all the prominent mineral springs in
America and traveled from Maine to California.
Still I grew worse. No two physicians
agreed as to my malady. One said I
was troubled with spinal irritation; another,
nervous prostration; another, malaria; another
dyspepsia ; another, heart disease; another,
general debility; another, congestion
of the base of the brain; and so on through a I
long list of common diseases, the symptoms
of all of which I really had. In this way 1
several years passed, during all of which
time i was steadily growing worse. My coil- I
dition had really become pitiable. The j
slight symptoms I at first experienced were
developed into terrible and constant dis- !
orders?the littlo twigs of pain had grown to
oaks of agony. My weight had been reduced
from 207 to 130 pounds. My life was
a torture to myself and friends. I could retain
no food upon my stomach, and lived
wholly by injections. I was a living j
mass of pain. My pulse was uncontrollable, j
In my agony I frequently fell upon the floor, j
convulsively clutched the carpet, and prayed j
for death. Morphine had little or ho effect i
in deadening the pain. For six days and j
nights I had the death-premonitory hie- J
coughs constantly. My urine was filled with 1
tube casts and albumen. I was struggling j
with Bright's Disease of the Kidneys in its \
last stages.
While suffering thus I received a call
from my pastor, Rev. Dr. Foote, rector
of St. Paul's church, of this city. I felt
that it was our last interview, but in the
course of conversation he mentioned a
remedy of which I had heard much but
had never used. Dr. Foots detailed to me
the many remarkable cures which had come
under his observation, by -means of
remedy, and urged me to try it. As a practicing:
phjsogan. and a graduate of the
ural and common wTru"ail regular pracauon^
ers, and derided the idea of any medicine outside
the regular channels being the least
beneficial. So solicitous, however, was Dr.
Foot?, that I finally promised that I would
waive my prejudice and try the remedy he so
highly recommended. I began its use on the
first day of June and took it according to
directions. At first it sickened me; but this
I thought was a good sign for me in my debilitated
condition. I continued to take it;
the sickening sensation departed and I was
able to retain food upon my stomach. In a
few days I noticed a decided change for the
better, as also did my wife and friends. My
hiccoughs ceased and I experienced less pain
than formerly. I was so rejoiced at this improved
condition that, upon what I had believed
but a few dr.ys before was my dying
bed, I vowed, in the presence of my family
and friends,should I recover I would both publicly
and privately make known this remedy
for the good of humanity, wherever and
whenever I bad an opportunity. I also determined
that I would give a course of lecj
tares in the Corinthian Academy of Music :
! nf ti.io cfafincrin full the svmrjtoms and I
almost hopelessness of my disease and the
I remarkable means by which I have been
saved. My improvement was constant from
that time, and in less than three months I
had gained 26 pounds in flesh, became entirely
free from pain, and I believe I owe my
life and present condition wholly to Warner's
Safe Kidney and Li-.*': Cure, the remedy
which I used.
Since my recovery I have thoroughly re*
investigated the subject of kidney difficulties
andBright's disease, and the truths developed
are astounding. I therefore state,
deliberately and as a pnysician, that I believe
that more than one-half the deaths whith occur
in America are caused by Bright's disease
of the kidneys. This may sound like a
rash statement, but I am prepared to fully
verify it. Bright's disease has no distinctive
symptoms of its own (indeed, it often develops
-without any pain whatever in the kidneys
or their vicinity), but has the symptoms
of every other known complaint. Hundreds
of people die daily, whose burials are
authorised by a physician's certificate of
"HeartDisease," ''Apoplexy," "Paralysis,"
"Spinal Complaint," "Rheumatism,"
"Pneumonia," and other common complaints,
when in reality it was Bright's Disease
of the Kidneys. Few physicians, and
fewer people, realize the extent of this disease |
or its dangerous and insidious nature. It
steals into the system like a tmer, mannests
its presence by the commonest symptoms,
and fastens itself npon the constitution
before the victim is aware. It is nearly as
hereditary as consumption, quite as common
and fully as fatal. Entire families,
inheriting it from their ancestors, have
died, and yet none of the number knew or
realized the mysterions power which was removing
them. Instead of common symptoms
it often shows none whatever, but
brings death suddenly, and as such is usually
supposed to be heart disease. As one who
has suffered and knows by bitter experience
what he says, I implore every one who reads
these words not to neglect the slightest
symptoms of Kidney difficulty. Certain
agony and possible death will be the sure result
of such neglect, and no one can afford to
hazard such chances.
I am aware that such an unqualified statement
as this, coming from me, known as I
am throughout the entire land as a practitioner
and lecturer, will arise the surprise and
possible animosity of the medical profession
and astonish all with whom I am acquainted,
but I make the foregoing statements based
upon facte which I am prepared to produce
and truths which I can substantiate to the
letter. The welfare of those who may possibly
bo sufferers such as I was, is an ample
inducement for me to take the step I have,
and if I can successfully warn others from
the dangerous path in which I once walked,
I am willing to endure all professional and
personal consequences.

Rather a Mistake.
Occasionally very awkward consequences
have been known to follow
from acting on the spur of the moment.
It is related of Lord Ellenborough
that, when on one occasion he was
about to sot out on circuit, his wife exnrpssoil
a. wish to accompany him, a
proposition to which his lorship assented,
provided there were no bandboxes
tucked under the seat of his
carriage, as lie had too often found
there had been when honored with her
ladyship's com pan. oefort Accordingly
they both set out together, but
had not proceeded very far before the
judge, stretching out his legs under the
seat in front of him, kicked against
one of the flimsy receptacles which he
had specially prohibited. Down went
the window with a bang, and out went
the bandbox into the ditch. The
startled coachman immediately commenced
to pull up, but was ordered to
drive on and let the thing lie where it
J was. They reached the assized town
I in due course, and his lordship proj
ceeded to robe for the court. "And
