THE SULTAN. Turkpj's II u lev an Seen by Cousi'cstmau Sudnci Cox. The following letter of S. S. Cox to the New York Sun contains the wiitei's impressions of the Oriental monarch who rules in the Occident: They are trnly aesthetic, and crusted with diamonds. We long to carry one heme?not for the gems, oh, no! but for the artistic beauty. No sooner does tbe surreptitious thought enter the mind than the servants gather them up. We form in line behind the minister, and under escort proceed up the staircase to the audience chamber. We pass up between soldiers, fine large Circassians, in their native array, who look at us impassively. AWnrtn onnn/ilm in fcfrnnrw Pnntflist with the Circassians, in rich attire, staLil like statues upon the step3. Oflioers with side arms and soldiers with rifles aio in waiting. We halt a moment at the head of the stairs, and looking within through a large chamber, perceive in the grand salon before us a well-made man of medinm size and serene almost melancholy aspect. He stands alone. He wears a bine nniform, or frock coat with the inevitable ftz. He holds,a Bword?hardly a cimeter, though it curves?of golden 6heath and jeweled hilt. It rests upon his patent leather shoes. A rice sash is over his shoulder. It is green, for creen is the Mohammedan color. It is the symbol, I suppose, of the growing, fadeless Celiphate. We approach in dae order, gallanted by the ministers, and make a formal bow. Our suite form a crescent around the sultan, with Majoi-General Wallace with his two stars in the concave. Next to him on the left is Assim FashB, and on the right the interpreter, his hat still secure. After tev erai ratner ejaDoraio dows irum me tultan's officers we await events. The sultan raises his dreamy, languid,Ihoughtful eyes, and his sallow face lights up a little. Then the confabulation beg'ns. There is an austerity of dread, a painful hush, as the foreign affairs minister, in low, husky tone?, announces the function and purpose of the visit. General Wallace catches the solemn f-pirit of the scene, and subdued to the Oriental quality makes in low tones pioper reference to his predecessor, and in tne name of the people of the United States, with an emphasis prepense on "the people" wbirh made me grasp my hat, expressed their desire for the good relations that bad always existed between the two nations, and which be would endeavor to strengthen. The sultan drops his impassive eye, with ,now and then a sidelong glance at us in turn. I take this opportunity, without discourteous crriosity, to look about the largo chamber. A dim light enters it from the east. The sultan nas nis DacK towara Abia. ino group is interesting. The atmosphero is one of funereal quietude. The gods are *hod with wool; so are sultanic servitors. Neither the dresses nor the movements and speeches are loud; qmite and painfully otherwiso. li i'b pomp, but pomp in unassuming dis play. The scene is not ornate nor Ori ental. There are no trellis nor lattice casements, no tapestry nor ottomans, and np exuberant nor vulgar signs of luxury. No crystal jets shake their "lessening silver in the sun," Bnd there are no arabesques nor fantastic imagery. The surroundings are as simple as the audience is decorous. No grovelinpr obeisance is demonstrated. A few piotures decorate the walls. They represent Bedouin chiefs fn the desert, pictures of local color, all but one, which rivets my eye. Unless I am in error, this pfcture on my left is that of the midnight 6un, with its languishing light, han ',ing over the hazy horizon at Nord Cap! Then I thought of tho verse of the American moralist: Th)Jba:k of tempest, vainly tossed, May founder iu tho calm; And he who braves the polar fro?t Fain'B by the bleu of palm. I am, recalled from my reverie by reflecting npon the power of the sultan. He is a man of calm dignity and superior intelligence. Mohammed II., the grand progenitor of this line, "who took the city from the effete Greeks, may have had more elan, as he had a larger army, but he had no more reserve corps in his ?ve than his descendant before ub. Was he not administering amid troublesfor which he is not responsible, a great empire of various nationalities and religions, and under manifold embarassments. By Lis illustrious dcfcent and inborn dignity, by his position as the heir of tho Othmans, Amoreth and Suleimans, he receives, sb the Oriental chief should, that Occident whioh bat never encroached upon Lis prerogative or domain, and has no tine inclination or object in doing so. I confess to an enthusiasm for this monarch. He is a king, every inch, and withoui any dramatic ostentation;" for I learn from our consul that he deserves great regard for his rare ability. H? is his own adviser. Amid tho troubles and care growing out of the equivocal death of his predecessor, and with the populations of diverse religions and races which he must reconcile to rule, he'is not unworthy of the fame of . Abdul Mejid, whose memory is to me part of my earliest association in this city, whose praises then wergj^erery tongue. After the translation into tho vernacular of the minister's speech, and when it was expected this* ceremony was done, General Wallace broke through the __iensaj eilquette, and stating that it was a custom of his country and a sign cf cordiality, tendered his hand. The tultan timidly, but blandly, breaks his reserve, and cordially replies. I am denominated, in French phrase, a "statesman," i nd my face assumes the color of the sultan's fez. We had no elaborate, theatrical bowing. The only one who seemed to be specially Oriental n bis salaam was Murid Bey. He bows quite low, and with singular gracs, his hand to his head, breast and lip, signifying that his mind, heart and speech were complaisant; but even he is not obsequious. Securing my hat pnd guarding my shoes, and without Bpecial trouble, I back out o( the presence with the rest, and return to tho salon below. There sherbet is served, with .cigarettes. A Woman's Ingenuity. A Dublin chambermaid is eaid to have got twelve commercial travelers into eleven bedrooms, and yet to have given each a separate bedroom. Here uehave eleven separate bedrooms: [ 1 1 2 1 3 f~4 | 5 | 6 | 7 1 8 ' 9 I 10 1 U j " Now," says she, "if two of you will go into No. 1 bedroom and wait a few miautes I'll find a sparo room for you as scon as I have shown the others to their rooms. Well, now, havinpr thus bestowed two gentlemen in No. 1 she put the third in No. 2, fourth in No. 3, the fifth in No 4, the sixth in No, 5, the seventh in No G, tho eighth in No. 7, the ninth in No. 8, tho tenth in No. 9, the eleventh in No. 10. She then came back to No. 1, where you will remember she left the twelfth oont.lomnn .ilnnr> with fbfi firsf. nm1 said: "I bare accommodated all the rest and have ftill a room to spare; so if one of yon will please step into No. 11 you will find it empty." Thns, the twelfth man get his bedroom. Of oourse, there is a bole in the saucepan somewhere, but we leave tho reader to determine exactly where tbe fallacy is, with just a warning to think twice before declaring as to which, if any, of the travelers was the " odd man out." A Disappointed Marksman. A chap went into a crockery store the other day, a little hooked np, and feeling as thongh he ongbt to break something, said to the proprietor, as be viewed a long shelf fnll of crockery and plassware: " What will you take to let me throw my bcot at that 'ere "Just one dollar," answered tbe owner. The man paid the money, and taking off one of his boots, took aim at the shelf with the intention of raking it from one end to the other. He threw it with all his mjgQt, ana it went ionn wna a great deal of swiftness, but missed every liof crockery, landing in a tub of water in the rear of the store. A more dist gu6ted man has seldom been seen.?

" It is related by travelers, as an in- } stance of bow little tbe customs of f Eastern nations bave changed daring , many hundreds of years, that in tbe , fields of Palestine tbe very same words may bo beaTd now as in tbo days of Boaz and Ruth.

Thomas Harrison. Messrs. Moody ami Sankey have been ; in Glasgow, Scotland, where they have ! held large meetings and have met with great success in their work. In August next the Moravian Brethren will celebrate the third jubilee of their mission among the heathen, 1732 being | the year in which Leupold and Dober set sail for St. Thomas and the West Indies. There are seven Baptist associations, ' with one hundred churches, in Canada. Only 181 baptisms aro reported, being ; less than t^o for each church. This is the smallest nnraber of baptisms reported since 1853. Dr. Hartzell, of Louisiana, made the statement in the Chicago Methodist . ministers' meeting, that near Houston, Texas, there aro half a million colored people without a single school of any kind under the guidance of any church. < The Presbpterian synods now conform to State lines. That of Penn sylvania heads the list with 131,051 communications that of New York has i 130.374; Ohio has 68,320; New Jersey, , 45,957; Illinois, 42,280; Indiana, 27,- , 678; Iowa, 20,812. In the first decade of the Methodist i Episcopal church there was one minis- i ter to every 190 members; in the fifth i decade the proportion was one to 284. The'present propoi tion is one minister to 147members, against 142 in the ninth | and tenth decades. 1 The National Bible sooiety, of Scot- < land, have placod in the hands of Dr. I Somerville, at present on an evangelis- i tic tonr in Germany, 50,000 copies of 1 portions of the New Testament for i rdtuitons distribution. Dr. Somer- i ville declares that the supply is con- ( siderably smaller than the demand. I From the " Baptist Hand Book for ' 1882" we gather that there are now in ihe United Kingdom 2,580 churches, 3r395 chapels, 1,101,301 sittings, 295,- 1 035 members," 46,321 Sunday-school i teachers, 433.S01 Sunday-school schol- ! ars, 1,885 pastors in charge and 3,247 < evangelists. There has been a decrease 1 in pastorsand evangelists of late years < in the denomination. According to the < grand totals, there are now throughout the world 28,505 churches, 17,083 pas- i tors or missionaries, and 2,473,088 1 members. Upward of SI,000,000 has ] been spent in Great Britain during the i year upon new or improved places of i worship ] I The Magnetic Xeedlc. 1 A condensed explanation in regard to ' the needle pointing to the northward and southward is as follows: The | magnetic poles of the earth do not coincide with the geographical poles. ] The axis of rotation makes an angle of ( about 230 with a line joining the former. | The northern magnetic polo is at pres- { ent near the Arctic circle, on the merid- j ian of Omaha. Hence the needle does i not everywhere point to the astronom- ^ ical north, and is constantly variablo j j within certain limits. At San Fran- j oisco it points about seventeen degrees to the east of north, and at Calais, Me., j as much to the west. At tho northern ^ magnetio pole, a balanced needle points r with its north end downward in a plumb ' line. At San Francisco it dips about j sixty-three degrees, and at the south- j ern magnetic pole the south end points directly down. The attraction of the earth upon a magnetic needle at its j surface is of about tho same force as that of a hard steel magnet, forty inches long, strongly magnetized,, at a distanco of one foot. The foregoing < is the accepted explanation of the faot ? that the needle points tf/thenorthward i and southward. Of course, no ultimate reason can be given for this natural i faot, any more than for any other < observed fact in nature. \ An Original Style of Advertising. 1 Perhaps the most daring and original method of securing notoriety yet invented is that being practiced by a ba^J American concert singer now is-2?aris. FindiDg t!;at -his_ aJJcsffl^'harmony catch the applause and francs of the Parisians, tlr's balladist, who advertises himself as Julius McJ. Judd, the great American basso, conceived an idea of tho greatest merit and originality, advertisingly speaking. He em- ; ployed a variety actress to " get up " in exact imitation of Mrs. Mackey, j whose pleasant face and elegant costumes are so well known to French theater-goers. Each evening this dummy celebrity would applaud vociferously, and would conclude by throwing to the basso a splendid bouquet, to which was conspicuously attached a small morocco jewelry box, evidently containing gems of immense value. The singer indignantly spurns the offering, and as the f 1 -3 1 ? tt 1, ~ J l> in. 1^,1 uuciy " iiiusuuu uuJiuuLacoo 10 jvu i weeping from the box by her attendant, j he picks up the bouquet, which is made of artificial flowers, carefully dusts it off, and hangs it up on a nail in tho property-room, all ready for the next eveniuf. ?

Of musicians there were 399, j and, Strange to Fay, only .forty-two of t them came from Italy; but whether the bureau clashed hand organs under the j head of musical instruments is not j known. There were 211 teachers, 59 soulptors, 7 reporters, 159 artists, 32 editors, 22 dentists, 39 architects and ' one chiropodist. From the large num- 1 ber of bakers on the list it is presumed j J I lhat they must hare heard of the mag- ' ! nificent wheat fields of Dakota and ! other places, and 1c nged to lend a hand j ! in turning the golden prain into bread. I | There were landed 1,377 bakers during ; < i the year, and of this number 731 came I J from Germany. There were 1.138 cabij net makers, 2,033 mascu3, 2,13-1 tailors, j 1,474 weavers, 5,988 miners and 105,012 ! \ laborers. I The (ihtssograpli. The London journal, Iron, gives an ( j account of anuther addition to the many scientific wonders of reeenryears. , j | Herr A. Gentilli, of Vienna, has in- , 1 vented an instrument?named by him the glossograpn?consisting oi an in- j genicra8 combination of delicate levers j and blades which, placed upon the tongue and lips and under the nostrils j of the speaker, are vibrated by the movements of the former and the breath flowing from the latter. The i vibration is transmitted to pencils, which transcribe the several signs pro- ] duced by the action of tongne and lips and the breath from the nostrils upon j a strip of paper moved by a mechanical < arrangement. Similar to shortband, a , special system of writing, which may ( fitly be "termed glossography, is pro- ] dnced, based upon the principle of j syllable construction and combination j of consonants. ( Persistent Paupers. The Britton f?mily, of Germantown, t Penn., are supposed to be the most persistent paupers in the country. Four generations from the old stock are now supported by the community. This legacy of indolence is not yet exhaust- 1 ed, but the relief association has laid t its hands npon some of the youngest I heirs and compelled their attendance at t school, hoping that they will be edu- c cated to decline their inheritance as t did one of their great-uncles, who i orvad away from hie family and has be- t come a useful citizen. ] FACTS AND COMMENTS, In 1777 considerable interest was manifested in an announcem< nt that jix stoves had been completed in Philadelphia. The annual product of the stove foundries in that city is now valued at$i,000,()00, and the industry supports about 12,000 people. The value in round millions of the 3ereal crop of 1881, according to the estimates of tne department at Washington, are: Corn, ?750.000,000; wheat, 5453,000,000 ; outs, 8103,000,000 ; rye, $19,000,000; barley, 833,000,000; buckwheat, 88,000,000. Total, 81,405.000,. 000, against. 81",301,000,000 in 1880. In Great Britian there is a medical association with already nearly 200 members who eschew the prescription of afcoholic liquors in nearly every case, and who publish a quarterly magazine as an exponent of their views. Dr. ltichardson and Norman Kerr, of London, and other eminent names are included. Charles A. Ilenry, formerly oditor of the Valkyricn, a Scandinavian journal published in San Francisco, has been engaged by Henry Villard to bring to this country 5,000 or 10,000 Scandinavians, to be employed in the con strnction of the Northern .facitic railroad. Inducements will bo offered these emigrants to settle on the line of the road. There arc 1,000 Indians yet in the everglude3 of Florida. They speak their own language, but by frequent intercourse with white people at the trading posts on Lake Okeechobee have become civilized. They aro friendly and honest in their dealings with the whites, and are never known to commit thefts or outrages. Now and then a tourist induces one to go up to Jacksonville, but they seldom go farther. An Italian who it is, perhaps, unnecessary to say has lived some time in America, has come to the conclusion that it is a lingo oasin 01 peircunum ander Vesuvius which keeps the bowels of that interesting mountain in a constant state of ebnllition, more or less active. He therefore proposes to dig a tunnel at its base, tapping the great caldron, and thus putting the mountain at rest and securing an unlimited supply of petroleum. Mr. Bergh's society for the prevention of cruelty to animals has sixteen branches and 2-30 agencies in the State Df New York, and last year prosecuted 855 cases in the courts. In Ne* York city and Brooklyn 1,275 animals were taken from work and sent to veterinary surgeons for treatment. Throe years igo the number was 3,000, and it is claimed that tho falling off proves that ilie work of tho society has been effective morallv. " The Chicago Tribune predicts that tvithin an area of about 90,000 fquare miles, covering the northern third of [Ib'noip, tho southern quarter of Wisconsin and the entire State of Iowa, is to be tho great butter and cheese prolucing region of tho world. The farmers there are said to receive only about fifty per cent, of the commercial vaiue of the grain they raise, the balance being absorbed in the expense of transportation, but when they uso the land for pasturage and fodder for cattle and turn their attention to dairy products the net receipts amount to ninety per cent, of their value, the transportation being reduced to ten par cent., including brokerage. The movement in favor of reform in ihe agricultural law of England is quite is active as in Ireland. It is quiet aud undemonstrative, but none the less desermined for all that, and gradually, jut somewhat stealthily, it may be said, ire the great as well as the small landlords disposing of their properties. From every quarter of England comes ;he announcement of the sale of some hereditary estate, which has lain in the family for agos, and in every case the innouncemeLL is accompanied by ;he most bitter* lamentations against ;he depression in the value of land, rhe Duke of Westminster has already jold some of the most desirable por;ions of his property.

Acconnt or llio Search for th Commander of (be Jeanncitr. The United States secretary of tho navy haa* recoived an official report from Engineer Melville of the Jeaanotte, datod Yakutsk, January 5, and containing a narrative of his adventuros and his search for Lieutenant De Long binco the disporsion of tho .Teannetto's boats oa tho night m September 12, 1881. At (hat timotho three "boats containing tho crew of the abandoned ship were only fifty miles northeast of IJonkin, their destination. A gale arose, blowing from tho northeast, and the boats were separated. Tho story of Melville's landing on September 19, and his soarcli for Do Long and his party, has been told at different times in tho newspapers, and so tho report does not contain a great deil that is new. He transmits various records left by Lieutenant De Long in huts at places whero ho and his party stopped in their search for a settlement. From It a ia qIiIa fn frn/^n Hm PfillfMrt flP Lieutenant Do Long up to October 9. A letter was found in a hut near tlio mouth of the Lena, wbero Lieutenant Do Long landed on September 19. Various articles left by tlio missing party wero found iu tlio hut, including cast-off clothing, two broken rifles, a box of specimens from lionnctt Island, two cook stoves, four log books, and otber things. The letter is signed by Lieutenant De Long and the thirteen other members of tho party, and is copied in six languages, with a request that the linder will forward it to tho secretary of tho navy at Washington. After speaking of tho separation of tlio boats 011 tho night of September 12, Lieutenant De Long says: " My boit made tho land on tho morning of the lGth instant., and I suppose we are at tho Lena delta. 1 liavo lwd no chance to get sight for position since I left Bimonatki Island. Aftor trvins for two days to get in shore without Rrounding, or to reach one of the river mouths, I abandon) d my boat and waded 1% niilcs,carryingour provisions and outfit witli us. Wo must now try. with God's help, to walk to a settlement, which I believe to bo ninety-five I miles distant. Wo are all well; liavo four days' provisions, arms and ammunition, and aie ! carrying with us only ship's book and papers, and blankets, tents and some medicines; therefore our chauco of getting through seems good." A seond letter was found in a hut on tho Lena delta, twelve miles from tho head of tho delta, by a Yakut hunter. It was dated September 2G, and recorded the arrival of Lieutenant DeLong and his party there and their departure for tho southward. Another record left by Lieutenant DcLong was subsequently found by a Yakut hunter in a hut on tho Lena delta, and dated September 52. A request, copied in six languages, that it bo forwarded to Washington, was found with it. In this letter Lieutenant Do Long says: " My boat, having weathorod tho gale, nude tho land on the morning of tho lGth instant, and after trying to get in shore for two days, and being prevented by shoal water, wo abandoned the boat and waded to the beach, carrying our arms, provisions and records, at a point about twelve miles to tho north and cast of this place. Wo had all suffered somewhat from cold, wet and exposure, and tlireo of our men wero badly lamod; but Jiaving only four days' provisions left, reduced rations, wo wero forced to proceed to tho southward. On Monday, September 19, wo left a pile of our effects near tho beach, erecting a long polo where will bo found everything valuable, chronometer, ship'B log books for two years, tent, etc., which wo wore absolutely unable to carry. It took us forty-eight hours to mako theso twelve miles, owing to our disabled men, and those two huts seemed to mo a good place to stop while I unalinil forward with the surtreon and Ninder- I man to got relief for us. But last night wo shot two reindeer, which gives us abundance of food for tho present, and wo have seen eo many more that anxioty for tlio future ia relieved. As scon as our three sick men can walk we i-hall resumo our march for a sejtlombnt on tho Lena river. " Saturday, September 21, 8 a.m.- Our threo lamo men being now ablo to walk, wo aro about to resumo our journey with two days' rations deer meat and two days' rations pemmican and threo pounds tea." Tho latest record found was dated October 1. A i'akut hunter discovered it in a hut on the Lena. At this time all of Lieutenant Do Long's party wore yet alive. They had two days' supply of provisions, but had no fear of the future, "as they had all along been ablo to get game. Erickson's toes had been amputated iu consequence of frost bite. Tho party was about to crojs to tho west side of tho Lena. From tho two men sent ahead by Lieuteuant De Long on October 9 Molviilo learned something of. tho wanderings of tho lost men subsequent to October 1. They crossed tho Lena to tho west bank at a summer hunliDg lodge called Usterda. Erickson was carried in an improvised bed drawn by his comrades. They proceeded south slowly for two days', nnd crossed a small branch of tho Lena, which they had to wade. On October C they stopped at a small hut, whoro Erickeou died tlio next day, and was buried in the Lena. By this timo they wero in a deplorablo condition, having eaten their last allowance of dog meat, and being on an allowance of threo ounces of alcohol por man per day. Th*y pushed south until October 9, when Lieutenant De Long decided to send two men ahead to seek relief. Tho feot of Ninderman and Noros wero better than those of theotliors, and they wero suppliedAvitli their blankets and Ttnminrrlon fortv rounds Of amtUlini tton auil six ounces of alcohol, which was a pur capita division of tho wholo stock of tho latter. Tlicy wero or.lcro l to profited south 011 llio west bank of the Lena, ami to send relief it found, being told that tho others would follow thoir footstep-". When tho two men started tho parly was 81 a halt on tho north btnlc of alarg) western branch of tho Lraa. . Tho two men ascended that branch about five miles to make a crossing, and then traveled east to a hut situated on tho Lena bank. After fourteen days of intense suffering and slow progress they "reached Belcour nn l wero found by three natives, who supplied them with food aud tAp?poriod them to Belun by deer s'e.ls, arriving at that place on September 27.

(ClovelamJ, 0., Herald.) . A few weeks ago we copied Into our columns from tbo Hochestcr, N. Y., Democrat and Chronicle "A IlemarI<&blo Statement," made by J. B. Henion, JL D., a gentleman who ia well known in this city. In that article Dr, Henion recounted a wonderful experieneo whioh befoll him, and a few days thoroaftcr we pubtlahod from the name paper a second article, giving an account of the "Excitemont in ?ochestar," caused by Dr. Heniun'a statement. In the first articlo Dr. Henion stated "that for a number of years, up to last June, ho had been ifllicttd with w4iat seemod at firat a most soripus trouble. lie felt unaccountably tired at fMnimnf iuinrrolj l*a/1 /lull aivl inHnHnltA l? ??"W? , *?V?

But yet ho grew worse, end was finally obliged to oivo up a large and lucrative practice. Still ho was not conscious of his danger, Dor that a monstrous disease was bmjmiug flx?d upon him, although all his organs had bocome gradually weakened. The symptoms abovo described continued, accompanied by others ol an aggravated nature, and lie noticed a peculiar ec'or and odor about tho fluids he was passing; that they were abundant ono day and very scanty the next, and wcro covoroa with froth, or filled with brick dust sediment. But even theu he did nut realize his real and ilarming condition. At last, however, ho was brought faeo to lace with tho fact that he was a rictim of a most terrible disease, and ho mado heroic elTotts for recovery. He traveled extensively and consulted tho" best physicians, but they could pive him only temporary relief, and that principa l}' in the form ot morphine. And to ho grow steadily and constantly worse until his life became a "toriuro. His puleo was untontrollable. He lived wholly by iujo.tiona, and for six days and nigh a ho had tbo hioeoucrba constantly, which are consideied the ure indications of corning death. When hope and life wero nearly exhausted, hia pastor, tho Itev. Dr. Footo, rector of 8t. Paul b church, strongly urged him to try a means which ihe reverend gentleman had seen uaed^vith remarkable results. IIo objected at ftrat, but llii ?IIy consonto I, on:l was conscious of ?n improved condition the first week. Hie' pains gradually disappeared; his stomach resumed digestion; his deart tfecamo regular; his headachos disappeared; ho had no more chills and fever, or acidity of the stomach; he gained twenty-six pouuds in three months, and is a well man to-day, being owirol^ cured of a most pronounced case of Blight's disease. ' Although conscious of tho consequences from his professional brethren, still, as a duty to hi? fellow men, and accjrding to a vow he made on what lie thought was his dying bed, ho published a catd detailing his illnesfl and remarkable cure. "Since my rocovory," ha says, " I havo thoroughly re-investigated tha subject of kidney difficulties aud Bnght's disease, and I believe moub than one-ualf the dkaths which occuu ix A3ienrca ajie cached by Blight's Diheass of the KId.veys. It has no distinctive symptoms of its own (indeed, it olten develops without any paiu whatever m tin kidneys or their vicinity), but has the eyncptoms of nearly every other known complaint. Hundreds of people die daily who?e burials are authorized uy a physician's certificate of "Heait disease," "Apoplexy," "I'aralyMi," ''Spinal complaint," " Rheumatism," "Pneumonia" and other common complaints, whin in reality it was Bright'a disease of tho kidnfVH. Fow physicians and fewer peoplo realize Ihe extent of this disease or its dangerous and insidious nature. It steals into the system like a thief, manifests its presence itself upon tho life boforo the victim is aware. It is nearly as hereditary aa consumption, quite as common ami ftillv aa fatal. Entire limilies, inheriting it from their ancestors, havo died, and yet none of the number knew or realized the mystoi ions power which was removing them. Instead of oommon symptoms it often show* none whatever, but brings death suddenly, antLas such ia usually supposed to be heart disease/' The second article en'itled "Excitement in Rochester," was made up of interviews with Dr. Heoion himself, who continued all taid in his card, and also with Mr. II. II. Warner. Tne latter gentleman did not- regard Dr. Henion's case as paiticularly exceptional, because he had known of very many such euros by the game means in a l parts of tho land. Kidney diseases, he said, are cariyicg off tens of thousands every year, while U/ight's disea?e is increasing 1250 per cen'. a tlccade, and yet the people do not realize it or seek to check it until too late. He related how a New Orleans medical professor, lecturing on t .is disease, thinking to show his c;a-a what healthy fluid* were, etiDjrcted some of bis own to a chemioal test, aud although ho bad no suspicion of it before, di*cover<yl that he too ha t the dreaded diaease, which proved fatal in less than a vejr. There vat also an interview wi ll the celebrated chemist of the New i'urk State Uoard of Health, Dr. 8. A. Lattimorc, who said he had analyzed the remedy which cured Dr. Henion, and found that it'was " entirely free from any poisonous Or deleterious Mibatances." We have made these condensations in order that all the material facta may be sot before our reader*. Since the publication of these two articles, having been besk'ged with lotiers of inquiry, we sent a letter to Dr. Hcnion and al-o ono to n. II. Warner & Co., asking if any additional proof could bo given us m to the validity of tlie statements published. In answer thereto we have recciveu tho following letters, which add interest to I ho subject and wholly verify cvtiystatement hitherto made: Hochester, N. Y., Feb. 2, 18S2. Gentlemen: Your favor* is received. The published statement over my signature, to which you refer, is true in every respect, anil owe mv life and present health wholly., to the power "of Warner's ^afo Kidney and Liver Cure, it is not surprising that people should question the statement I made, for my reoovcry was aa great a marvel to myself aa to my physicians and friends.

I was referred loin that statement as having recommended and urged Dr. Henion to try the remedy, which ho did, and whs cured.

About twenty-sis years ago they sold their birthright in Indiana, tvhere tliev had a large reservation, to the United States government for S221,100, payable in tw<-nty-six years with interest payable annually. This sum, together with ono y(ar's int?re:t, was recently paid to /Iic-m, which gave the surviving members of the iribe about ?700 apiece. They have been dying )tit slowly for yeirs on their annual in ;erest from tho government, and the neager returns of their own industry. I hoy do not appear to nave been tnriity it farming anil other pursuits of eivlized life, and languished. They are jompleteJy sold out, and when the white speculator pets hold of their noney in hand there is nothing for the omnant of the tribe to do but to go (Vest and run wild with their savage irethren. Civilization 'doesn't long tick to an Indian in the primeval brcst. ltcinnrknltly liecovcry. About a year ago a tree fell across ho platform of a street-car iu the outkirts of Philadelphia and seiionely njured the conductor, who expected to >e a cripple for llie rest ef his life. All case of feeling had departed from his | ower limbs, upon whicb not even a j ;alvanic shock produced tho slightest! iTect, and several doctors gave up his { ase as hopeless. One day recently the j ondactor, whilo reaching as far as j lossiblo for an articlo abovo his head ; elt something in his back snap sud-1 lenly and violently. When lie recover-, d from his alarm he found that sensa- j ion had returned to his lower limbs, j nd he is now at work on his car again , rith his old health and strength. " There;1 music in the heir," sorrowullj exclaimed tlio youug husband, as io -readied for the paregoric bottle. On a Mexican Farm. We are in the midst of a level valley, with gently sloping monntains on all the boundaries. Tfte leading crops are maize, barley and maguey. The tlachiquero goes around every day, with his donkey carrying wine skins^ collecting the sweet sap from the magaey to make the pulque. He pours *it into vats of skin in his department to ferment, treats it in his own way for a fortnight or more, and then it is ready for sale. We see sometimes forty plowmen come in and uuyoke their teams of an evening. The agricultural implements of the laVger sort in use are American, out plows, spades, picks and the like are manufactured at Apulco, near by, more cheaply. There arc interesting homemade wooden forks and shovels yet remaining. Among the rest the veritable Egyptian plow, of wood with but an iron point, is much more in use than the modern sort. And for its purpose of turning shallow furrows and plowing between the rows of maize it appears, to tell thi^.truth, not ill adapted. The ground is treated by irrigation, no less than eleven largo dams, one of them creating lake two miles long, being formed for this purpose. The portions of land used for cultivation are taken irregularly in various parts of the estate, according to their proximity to tbese. Each has its name, as Las Animas, San Antonio the Larger, San Antonio the Less. But it is o grazing country, and the chief industries aro the raising of animals and the making of butter and cheese. The greater part cf the cattle are hornless, which is effected by a simple process of searing the tender horn when sprouting, after which it does not increase. The idea is worth attention by American farmers and those who have to do with the transportation of cattle, xne can nere remains wun us mother nnder all circumstances It is a quaint sight at milking-time to see it lassoed fast to its mother, whose hindlegs are also lassoed, waiting, by no means patiently, the conclusion of the ceremony. Each of tto departments is under the command of its own chief, and an accurate supervision and record is made of the whole.?1iarper nMagazine A Fervent and Laconic Prayer. During the session of 1858, when the Iowa legislature was discussing, the State bank bill, and a prohibitory liquor law, a fervent and laconic prayer, which has become historical, was offered before that body. Recently the .authorship of tlio prayer and its phraseology have been disputed. Mr. Frank Shinn apparently settles the matter by statiDg that it was his father, A. T. Shinn* who prayed, and that his petition was as follows: "Great God, bless the young and growing State of Iowa; bloss our senators, representatives and chief officers ; give us a sound currency, pure water and uudefiled religion, for Christ's sake, amen."

Many peraons fancy they aro remedying bilious habit whon they are merely tantalizing the liver by repeated aod large doaoa of powerful &rugs, which rather inflame than.atimulato it.
