Tho Snow-Filled Nest. It swings upon the leifless tre-\ By stormy winds blown to and fro; Deserted, lonely, Bad to see, And full of cruel snow. In summer's noon tiio leaves above Made dewy shelter from the heat; The nest was full of life and love; Ah, life and love aro sweet! Tho tender brooding of tho day, Tho silent, peaceful dreams of night. The joys that patience overpay, The cry of young delight, The song that through the branches rings, The nostiing crowd with eager eves, The flutter so.'t of untried wings, The flight cf glad surprise. All, all are goi:o ! I know not where; ^nd still upon tho Cold gray tree, Lonely and tossed by every air, That snow-filled nest I see. I, too, had onco a place of re st, Where life and love and peace were mineEven as the wild-birds build their nest, When sliies and summer shine. But winter came, the leaves woie dead; The mot her-bird was first to go, Tho nestlings from my sight have fled; The nest is full of snow. 'Rose Terry Cvoke, ii S'. Nicholas. CHRISTIE'S TELEGRAPHING. I am very glad lliat telephones have been invented; and vet I am glad they were not sooner invented. I should like to tell you the reason. That will take some t me for it is quite a story. We live in tho country, at Oakbrook, and my father is the treasurer and superintendent of tho Oakbrook mills. Onr house?a very pleasant countryhouse it is?is situated on a beautifully wooded slope close to tho river, and is a quarter of a miie from tho mills. That is why a telegraphic wire was placed between the two. I promised father when it was put I up that I would learn to send messages j over it. There was no cne elso in the family who could have learned. Both my brothers were at boarding-school and mother would as soon have thought of studying the Chinese langnngo as telegraphy. Fat her "declared that I would never learn. Girls bad but little patience for such things, he said. Neverthe- i Jess the wire was put up and connected | with a battery in the library. And in j just four months' time I had mastered j the alphabet and tho technicalities of ! the instrument so that I could use it ! readily and was able to read tho mes- j sages by the ear? It was Harry Randall who taught me. He was one of tho clerk? r.t the office ; I and he had learned to use the instiu- ' merit, because it was necessary to have somebody to send messages by the wire that ran from the mills to tie adjacent city of Palmer. Having explained fo much, I think 1 havo said all that is necessary to enable yon to understand what occurred on a certain February night, about which I am going to tell you. We were through supper, and were sitting together?father, mother and I - around the table in the library, when Joseph, onr coachman and mau-of-ollwork about the place, brought in the mail as usual. Father eagerly took a letter that he seemed to have been expecting,, from the other letters. I noticed a disturbed expression upon his face as he read it; ?nd I wag more anxious than surprised when he arose and went to the halldoor, and callcd to the girl who was in the dining-room. "Mary," said he, "tell Joseph to harness Prince at one.). I must get to the Junction in time for the 8 o'clock express. He'll have to finish his supper when he gets back." Then he turned and said that the letter contained intelligence that made t.. W. n necessary no DUUUIU gu uu iu non York that night. Of coarse, as the wife and daughter of a business man, we knew what that meant, and that there was not a wcrd of remonstrance to be said. So mother went to make for him what preparation was needful; and I should have followed her a moment later, but that father called mo back. "Christie," said he, rather soberly, " I am going to tell you something that no one knows anything about save Harry Randall. 1 have quite a large sum of money?over two thousand dollars?in my coat-pocket" He touched his breast with his finger. " I never j keep large amounts of m ney by me, ' but in this case it was unavoidable, ' and I thought 1 should feel less anxious to have it with me than to allow it to remain at the ofllce in the safe "I cannot, of course, take it to New York. So I want jou to take charge of i it and keep it until to-morrow morning, ! and then carry it to Randall for hira to deposit in tlie bank. Don't sav anything about it to your mother. She is so timid and norvous that she would not | sleep a wiDk all night if she knew so large a sum was in the house. Do you anderotand ?" With no Glight feeling of responsibility I took the leathern pooketbook which he handed me and placed it in the pocket of my dress. Father went on: ' Perhaps you better put it under your pillow. Of course, itis fire that I am most anxious about. There's 110 danger to the money in any other way. Not a soul knows about it." Then he went into thehall, aid came very umxpectedly upon Joseph, for I heard him speaking Bomewhat sharply to him because ho had not gone to the stable, and declaring that bis business was of more consequence than Lis supper. I heard Joseph mutter something about taking time to finish his meal. Ten minates later as father was going down the tteps to get into the carriage, he turned back to me, and h lding his umbrella so ibat mother should not hear, he said: "I've been thinking, Christie, that young Randall better come and sleep at tbe bouse. I shall feel easier about you. You can telegraph him at the office. He is to be there at work tonight until very late." Thtn ho stepped into the buggy, and they drove away down tho path into the darkness and the rain. I did not send a message to Harry, however. Indeed, I laughed a little as I ihought of father's anxiety. He was almoBt as timid as mother, after all. I was of u ra:her easy, careless dis. position, and really had not a particle of fear of having tho money in my keeping. And as wo two sat thero in the library for a long while after thia, mothor dczing in the big chair and I , intent upon tome fancy-work which I was anxious to finish in time for a friend's birthday, I forgot altogether tbe package of mon?y that lay at the bottom of my dicss pocket. Joseph did not get back until nearly 10 o'clock although it was only three miles to the Jnnction, and he shculd have been long home before that hour. We thought little of that, however. He had been with us for feveral years, and I had great confidence in his faithfulness. It was not until afterward that : mother and I learned that he had ru j cently been led into bad company, and that father had several times had "angry ! words wilh him about habits. Joseph slept in the house; and for > that reason it had seemed to mo quite unnecessary that Harry Randall should be there also. When the clock struck 10 mother arose, declaring it was time to go t.> I bed. She went into all the lower rooms j to see that the windows and doors were I fastened, and Ihen came back to the library for me. But I did not feel sleepy, and wanted very mnch to get on with my work; so I begged her to go upstairs without me, promising to come up in the course of an hour. The clock struck 11 almost be fore I knew the time had passed. I laid down my work and cjunted the strokes without looking at the clock itself. I was sitting at the center-table, near the lamp. At my left, a little way off against the wall, was father's desk, with j books and papers scattered upon it, and ; tha battery at one end. i - Opposite me were two long windows that optned upon the side piazza. Over \ these were thick curtains, closely drawn, j which did not shut out the pound of the pelting storm outside. Directly Vu?Viind mo trna fho linll-d nr HlHtldinc. as usual, wide open. Just then I beard, or fancied I hf ard, j a low sigh or breath out in tho ball, turned my hfad instantly, but did not : see any person ; and listening intently, I heard no further soand. 1 felt a little uneasy and smiled t> myuelf at my cer- j vonsness ; then took up my work tgain. j I had not quite finished what I had 6et . myself to do. I had not taken three stitohe* when | I laid the work down again. There was i no use denying it or laughing a*, myself. For some reason there had suddenly | come over me a strong feeling of ner| vousness and dread. It seemed as if I | realized as I had not beforo that evenj ing the fact that I was sitting all alone I down stairs in the house, at 11 o'clock i at night, with a largo sum of money in | my pocket. I glanced at the desk. Possibly ! Harry was still at work at the ollice. I If ho was, a single sonteueo over the I wire would call him. I was just getting up 10 go to the i desk to signal and see if he was at the 1 mill, when something occurred that ! seemed to turn me cold and motionless j as stone in an instant. Behind me, so close that I knew it : mus have come from the threshold of the hall door, a low, hoarse voice, that I knew, without seeing the speaker, must be that of a desperato and wicked j man, broke the stillness and bade me " Good-evening!' For a moment, as I say, I felt as though I had been turned to stone. Then the voice, speaking again, seemed at least to restore the life in me, and to set my heart to beating violently. The language that the man used was not even as good English us, in attempting to reproduce it, I lind myself writing. JL/UII c uc iii^uuTuvu, iiiioa. j, W5 vi jo cot ter be frightened. All ye've got yer do is ter keep still, nn'not a hair of yer pretty head shall be harmed." Then I turned my head, half-wheeling my chair at tho same time, and saw, standing in the doorway, a largo bru- j tal-looking man, altogether as ugly and ill-conditioned and fearful-looking u person as I had ever sceu. Naturally enough I opened my lips to utter a cry, but he stopped me by a j singlo threatening motion of a club he carried in his hand. | "St!" he fiercely hissed. " If yon raise a single fcream I'll strike ye as senseless as yer mother is upstairs." These last words changod for tho moment tho nature of my fear and gave me strength to speak. "What have Ton dono to my mother?" I demanded, oxcitedly. "Do you mean ?have you killed her?" He uttered a tort of low laugh. "No, my dear; she was wakin' up, so we had ter uso the chloroform. An' yon must keep still or you'll be served the same way. Yer eee, it's jest here?" He drew a step nearer and seemed uipposuu IU miiwiri a. " What we want is seme money that yer father brought down from Palmer yisterday. Maybe ycr don't know about it; but wo do, and we know he left it in ther house when he went off to night, My friend is upstairs lockiu' for it this minute. All we want i3 the mcney. We don't mean harm to nobody. Ye shan't bo touched if ye behave yerself an' keep quiet." Somewhat reassured by this, and having had time while he was speaking to collcct myself, 1 was now aide to assume an appearance at least of calmness. I took up my embroidery and went on working?or pretending to work?at the pattern I was embroidering. I think the action helped me too; for I presently found myself really quite calm, i and with a coolness and resolution that | I can hardly believe in now, as I recall! it, turning. over in my mind what I j 0U2ht to do. What would these men do when they found, as they very soon would find, that the money was not upstairs? They j would be disappointed and desperate? j capable perhaps of deeds that they had I not at first intended. Perhaps I had better give up the money at ODce and so get rid of them. And yet, father had confided it to my care; and it did not belong to him but to the company. I ought not to let these men have it if I could help it. Oh, why conld I not give an alarm somehow ? What if I should open my mouth and cry out at auy risk ? Could i make Joseph hear, away out in the wing of the house as he was ? Alas, I knew that I cotili not, even had nob this man been sitting there by the door?he had taken a chair now?eyeing me fiercely, as though he read my very thoughts. Ah, if I had only done as father wished and telegraphed for Harry Randall to come up! And then with this last thought another thought came to me. Why coulu I not summon Harry even now, if perchance he was still at the office V I arose from my chair, mechanically gru&piug UJjr Hum iu m( y liuuu, ??a. j guard got up also, evidently suspicious of my slightest movement. "I'llhavo to ask yer to keep quiet, miss," said he, with a harsh, determined voice. I turned upon him indignantly. " I suppose T may change my seat if I like," said I. And without waiting for his permission I walked deliberately over to the desk and sat down in the revolving chair that stood before it. At the same time I threw my work down on the desk in such a way as to cover completely the battery, which instrument my companion had probably not noticed at all. Perhaps ho would not have known what it was if ho had. I sat there a moment, listlessly twisting the chair back and forth, and trying to make up my mind what was best to do. Just then there was a slight noise on the hall-stairs and tho man became uneasy, stood up and looked at the library door, as if he was about to g<f toward it. Then he turned again to me, and withf a threatening gesture, said: " You jnst set there, while I step inter the hall a bit. And if ye stir or make 1 a noise it will be the worse for ye. Do j - J il..i fit je miLia iiiut i , Ho went softly into the ball. Feeling that now was my opportunity, with a trembling hand 1 put my finger on the knob, and as silently as possible | sent my signal out ovc r the wire into ; the night, down to the mills and to ! Harry Randall. " Hairy, are you there?" In another instant I was leaning , back in my chair and moving an ink- i stand on the table to make a noise, j How my heart was beating, and my ear : was strained to catch the sound that?if 1 might in God's goodness hope it? j might presently come back to me ! Almost a minute?it seemed an ago? j I Jistened; and ray luart tank as no , answering signal was heard. Then? i Click ! Click ! Click ! camo the sounds, j sweeter to my ears than the sweetest mu^ic; autf I knew that Harry was there These founds wero to some extent covered by tho drumming of my j thimble, and woro to me as plain as j tpoken words. ti it IW. Instantly I sent back my answer, j Two excited words, run all together: ' "Robbers! IJeJpl" Tbe total silence that followed nssured ire. after a minute's anxiouR ; waiting, that Ilarry bad comprehended i my message, and that doubtless he i would at once come to the house. For- I tune had favored me, for 1 had hcaid j the man creeping up tho hull stairs, j and thus I had escaped the results of | any suspicions he might have had had j ho heard tho clicking of tho instru- j ment. I did not look at the clock, and can- i not say exactly how long I sat there in ; silence. It seemed to mo that it was i lionrs. j Then there was tho sound of whis- | poring in tho ball. The next moment I tbere appeared in the doorway a .second stranger, rougher and more desperate, if possible, in appearanco than tbe first; j and clcse behind him, to my great sur- j prise and indienation, was our man Jos- j epb. They both advanced into the room,, the one looking angry and (lis- i appointed, and the other with a sheepish air as ho caught my eje. "We have found the key of the safe," . growled the second stranger. "But all for nothing. Tl^o money wasn't in it, i and we've looked high and low and can't find it. But Joe here sticks to it that I it's somewhere in the houso ; and ho ! thinks," looking f'ercely at me, "you know where. It's no use, Miss ;| wo haven't an.v rnoro time to spare and | we won't stand no nonsense. I see it | in your eye; jou know whero the! mnnov An/1 T?An'ro rrr?f. fn He had advanced while he had been speaking and was now quiio near. I arose from my chair featiug that ho meant to lay hands upon me. And at that instant?my ears painfully alert to any noise?I was certain I caught the sound of a footfall outsido tie window, and I gained fresh courage. "And why have I got to tell?" demauded I, purposely raising niv voice so that it could be heard outside the house. "What right have yon to break into this house in this way ? " The man suddenly caufcht me by the wrist, uttering at the same time a fear- i ful oath. ' "You make another sound above a whisper," he cried, iu a voice hoarse i with rage, "nnd I'll"? He did not finish his sentence. There ; came a loud crash at both windows at I otco, and tho next instant Harry Ran! dall with two watchmen from tbe mills i bnrst into the room. The rescue was complete, so far as ; saving our lives and saving the money I was concerned. The robbers attempted no resistance. In an instant, before a word could be said or a blow struck, the man raised his hand and dashed tho lamp from tho table. In the darkness and confusion tho burglars, Joseph among them, made their escape. And although every effort j was made, both then auct late, t.o 6eenre their arrest they were never taken. However, as I said, onr lives and the money that had been confided to my keeping were safe; and we were all thankful for that. And I may siy again that I am very glad that, at that time at least, the telegraph had not been superseded by the telephone.? Youth's Companion. Adulteration. Some striking facts concerning the adulteration of tobacco and of tho belladonna drug were commented upon in a current number cf a sanitary journal of this cily. It has been discovered, according to this journal, that every year in Thuringia, Germany, a thousand tons of beet-leaves are transformed into tobacco and sold as such, and in other localities chicsory and cabbage leaves are employed to make tho " fragrant weed." Recently in England a government analyst found that certa n stuff sold in Smithfield as tobacco proved to bo the leaves of a diaphoretio plant, which had been transformed into tobacco to fave tho loss which would otherwise have been incurred through inability to sell tho plant as a drug. This sort of adulteration is also widely noted in the case cf Eome drug?. Some of the belladonna imported from Japan to this country was Jound to bo, instead of belladonna, but tho root known as scapolia japonica, distinguishable from tho genuine drug by tbe large circular scars on the root. It was, however, mixed with true belladonna and sold as the genuine drug, although such a mixturo was injurious and should h?vo bten avoided in all cases. A similar adulteration of belladonna was discovered in London not * . 3- .. 1 J long ago, wnen some aociorea urug w?? offered t > wholesale druggists as the genuine root. The.y detected the fraud and refused to purchase it, whereupon it was successfully disposed of to a herbist doing an extensive business. The latter mixed it with real belladonna and then sold it in the provinces, the deception succeedin g because the resembl. nee of the mock drug to tho real one was so great that taste mainly was the only moans of detecting tho adulteration. Killing Alligators. A Detroiter who had just returned from Florida after an absence of several months, was asked the other day if he had any fun with the alligators down there. "Yes, sir?dead loads of fan," he replied. "Kill many?' "Well, I should say sol'} " How many did you ever kill in a day ?' "Three hundred " "No! you don't mean 300 alligators in one daf ?" " Yes, I do." "You must have struck a rich spot. Three hundred in one day ! Whew ! What time did you begin I' "Oh, about 10 o'clock in the morning." " And how long did it take you ?" " About an hour." There was a pause, during which astonishment, incredulity and worse were visible on the faces of the crowd. Finally ono man stopped forward and said: "Did you use artillery ?" "No, sir." A saw-mM ? "No, sir." " Dynamite?'' " No, sir." " Mavbo vui'll tell us how you did it?" ' Yes, sir?I talkrd 'em to death. Please call at my office for pamphlets of Florida?its resouices, fruits, cereals, alligators, people and hotel charges. Tra-lu !"?Free Press. Ihouglit to Time. A young man on a street in Steuben ville with a ftz cap, a fragile cane, and smoking a vile cigarette which awakened a suspicion in the minds of the neighbors that a dead mnlo was in the immediate vicinity, stepped off the sidewalk to allow a lady to pass. "Thankyou," alio said. "Not at all, madame; 1 assure you I always give way to the weaker sex." The lady slowed up when she heard this, and came back to the young man "What did you observe, sir?" " I said (smile forced) that I always gave way to the weaker sex." " Ah, did you," pursued tho woman, grabbing him with a firm hand by the throat-latch. " Do you know who you are (shake) calling the (shake, shake) weaker sex?" a T ri/?U ?flint io T _r?annf tn car X?

Here^he gave the young man a dextrous flip which spun him three times around, after which ho fell under a fence, while his cane and fez cap flew over into a bed of last year'u hollyhocks. " Now, after this, remember young man, jou can't play no weak sex game on me. I propose to vote before that dyspeptic looking muttache of yourn has more than seven hairs on one side and nino on the other."?Steubcnville Republican. The Fir.-t Total Absliucncc Soclcly. A c irrtispondent writes to the ScottishAiwricm Journal: In your editorial on '^Temperance and Its Progress" in j the Journal, it is stated that tne faisiey i Gavttc maintains that to the Paisley | bodies belongs tho high honor of in- ' slituting the first total abstinence i society in Groat Britain, because "there, ! on January 14, 1832, was founded the j Paieley Youth's Society for Promoting Temperance oh tho Principle of Total Abstinence, etc., itc." Allow me to say that that high honor does not belong to Paisley, but to another ana more ancient town iving a little further east. It was in Dunfermline that the total abstin c-nce movement first had an existence and a name, for there, on February 15, 1830, a temperance society was instituted, and in September of the same year "The Dunfermline Total Abstinence Society" was founded by Mr. j John Davie and other friends of the j teetolal cause. In 1S80 lifty years had j elapsed since tho formation of the I society, and if no jubilee was held to i celebrate the event, I presume it was i because this is only or.e of many claims j to distinction -which Dunfermlino has I among the historic il ci'its of the land. ; 3Iore AOrchard?. A prominent Western New York hor- \ ticulturiht, known ns Major If. T.

English faimors vary the monot- J ony cf dry fodde r with an occasional diet of turnips; but iho major insisted that apples are fur more healthful, and can be produce 1 with much less cost aDd trouble. The lecturer contended that the use of apples as occasional food for liorses and cattio would save them from constipation, a consequent loss of flesh and a premuture los-s of life.

(Jood Writing. If you desire to writo for tho prey, and to be what is termed a "good writer," thero are two all important things that yon must look after. One of these is a plain and easy style, clearly within the comprehension of all disposed to re:id after yon; and the other is a themo calculated to interest everybody as near as it is possible for everybody to be interested. The first of theso attainments may bo most easily secured by a carefnl study of modern writers, each for instance as Irving, Hawthorne and Dickens; the other must cc.mo through a knowledge of human nature and the exercise of good common eensa. Without an association of those two things no pet son can become a goo.'l, or, in other words, a pop ulur writor. We have in mind several men of our immediate acquaintance, who write smoothly aud beautifully; but who, lacking the sccond requisite, are not at all liked as writers.

P. Stevens, who runs the pharmacy corner Atlantio avotiue and Court street, don't take much stock in patent medicines, and has not kept the Great German Bemedy until a few woeks since, when the great and growing demanl for the article among his CQBlotncra inducod him to keep it.

Upon being interviewed, Mrs. Quabach stated that she was subject to froquont attacks of headaches, ami used tbo St. Jacobs Oil with great satisfaction. It frequently relievod her when nothing else would. Sho Baid her attention was called to the groat romedy by a gentleman living in Hudson, who used it regularly.

Puring the illness of President Harrison there were no telegraphic bulletins; the telegraph then was but a jhilosophic experiment; five years were yet to pass before tL?j first practical wire should be laid. Railroads vere but ten years old; such a tiip as was planned and executed for Garfield would have been, in Harrison's time, wholly impossible. Mail communication was not one-third what it now is. There wero but twenty-six States. The nation scarcely exceeded seventeen millions. Yet the sorrow was as sincere and the tokens as earnest and cordial as those that are now witnessed. The shock to the country was heightened by the fact that Harrison was the first President who had died in office. The wheels of government had revolved for fifty years without this check. The people were unprepared for the event, and were uncertain?nay, anxious?as to ifcs consequences. They had not the assurance we enjoy that the political system would bear the strain. As now, so then, evervwhero were seen demonstrations of the national grief. In Washington city nearly every building boro tokens; the public buildings were shrouded, the elegant dwellings were heavily draped?even the lowliest abodes bore some inexpensive badges. Business was suspended. The pageant was, for that era, very ceremonious. The procession was two miles in length, and comprised tbe United States troops stationed in and near Washington, with many regiments from other cities the general command, oi Winfield Scott, besides numerous civic societies and a vast body of civilians. It was marshaled by officers in mourning. The remains of the deceased President were laid temporarily in the congrefsional bnrying-ground, the burial service of the Episcopal chnrch being read by Rev. Mr. Hawley, and | military salutes fired. The car on which the colfin was borne from the cemetery is described in contemporaneous accounts as a splendid one, decorated with black plumes and drawn by six .fhite horses. In July following the remains were transferred to their permanent resling-place near Ncrth Bend, upon a beautiful knoll rising two hundred feet above the Ohio river. Comedones. Tbe black points, flesh worms, of comedones, wfiich are found in the face, and especially near the nostrils, are not at all produced by the accumulation of tho particles of dirt or dust, as has generally been believed, bnt by pigmentary matter which is soluble in acids. It is known, in fact, that black comedones which accompany acne often ap pear not only on persons exposed to dust or rather careless of their person, but also on chlorctic young girls who live in good circumstances. Besides, observation shows that the discoloration not only exists on the surface of old comedoncs, but descends always to the lowor parts. Accepting this fact, Unna has uteJ successfully acid? in the treatment of comedones. Ho generally prescribes: Kaolin, 4 parts; glycerine, 3 parts; acetic acid, 2 parts ; with or withor.t the addition of a small quantity of somo etlieral oil. With this pomade he covers the parts affected in the evening, and if need be during tho ciay. After several days all the comedones can be easily expressed, most of them even como out by washing tho parts with pumicestone soap. The same results can be obtained by bandaging tho parts affected for a long time wi:h vinegar, lemon juice, or diluted hydrochloric acid. The author concludes by saying that tho acids act like cosmetics, ad they transform the black co'or into a brown and yellow shade and destroy jt gradually altogether; they produce a quicker desquamation of tho homey bed which interrupts tho exit of the comedones and brings to the surface tho glandular openings ?Archives de Virchow.

Only thoso who have been raised from death's door can know the value of such a good medicine. I am 58 years of age. Threo years ago I was taken sick with what tho doators called Lumbago. For weeks 1 was confined to my bed. I had three different physicians without any help. I received no relief, I was a great sufferer: finally I became entirely helplees. The doctor told mo there was no help; no said ho miKht possibly save my Ufe by injecting morphine in my arms and legs. Tho encouragement for saving my lifo by having this dono was so small a chance I could not consent to run tho risk. About this tinio my son read your advertisement in our paper?a testimony of a person who had been very side with about tho samo complaint, and was cured. My s.in went right away to tho ai>othecaiy store and bought a bottle of Veoetine. Before I had used tho tlrst bottle I found great relief. I could move myself in bed. After taking three bottles I was ablo to sit up and movo about my room. I continued taking tho Veoetine, and I was in a few weeks restored to my former health. Tho Veoetine saved my life after the physicians said there was no help forme. I havo had no doctor since. If I feel unwell I take a dose of Veoetine, and I recommend it to my friends. Your Veoetine ought to be in every family. My doctor was surprised to seo me again in good health. He says Veoetine is a good medicine.' I toll him it cured me. lie says. " It is true."

Removing the Capitol, (13) A few years ago it wan the fashion among a certain clique of politicians, whoea utteiances were echoed by a portion oi the press, to clamor for the removal of the Capitol from Washington to some representative Western city near to the geographical center of the country. The topic seemed to prove a seven days wonder, however, ard was soon forgotten the rush and requirements of the Nation's urgent business. Now, whether the Capitol will ever be removed or not is not near so interesting a question to some people as whether rheumatism can or will be removed from their I bodies. The subject of the removal of this disease from the system has very successfully interested myriads of people,'and from the extended expressions conveyed by the almost innumerable statements received from representatives of every class of the community, we append the followed brief selection,?premising for the benefit of the reader that the disease referred to is rheumatism or neuralgia and the remedy is that crand old nanacea?St. Jamb'* Oil.?
