THE HOME DOCTOR.
Antidote for Poison.
If a person swallow any poison whatsoever,
or have fallen into convulsions
from having overloaded the stomach, an
instantaneous and very effective remedy
is a heaping teaspoonful of common salt
and as much ground mustard, stirred
rapidly in a tea-cup of water. It is
scarcely down before it begins to come
up, bringing with it all the remaining
contents of the stomach; and lest there
be any remnant of poison, however
small, let the white of an egg and sweet
nil hnlfpp nr lard?several suoonfuls?
be swallowed immediately after the vomiting,
because these very common articles
nullify a larger number of virulent
poisons than any medicines in the shop.

as less than twenty-five per cent,
of cases are clearly of consumptive parentage.

and premature death, in large cities, is

6. A current of the purest uir from the i

fort, the first few sentences should be t
uttered in a low, slow tone, gradually c
intensified, otherwise the voice will a
break down in a very few minutes, with 1
coughing or hoarseness. j
9. A growing inability to sleep in sick- j
ness is ominous of a fatal result; in ap- 1
parent health, it indicates the failure of *
the mind and madness; so on the other *

slight improvement in the sleeping i

Cure or Stammering.
Manv,year3 ago a famous professor
came to our town and announced that he
could i 'cure t lie worst case of stuttering
in ten minutes without a surgical operation."
A iriend of mine was an inveterate
stammerer, and I advised him to call
upon the wonderful magician. Recalled,
was convinced by the testimonials exhibited,
struck up a bargain, paid the
. fifty dollars, and soon tailed at my office
talking as straight as a railroad track.
I was astonished, and asked my friend I
by what miracle he had been so suddenly I
relieved of his lifelong trouble. He j
informed me that he had made a solemn !
pledge not to reveal the process of cure.
I knew two other bad cases?ladies;
and, calling upon them, reported what
had come to pass.

rooms, came away elated, raised the I j
hundred dollars, paid, the cash, and in j J
half an hour were ready, ha'l<the ques- |
tion been popped, to say "Yes" without ;
hesitating.
I was soon made acquainted with
several other curcs quite as remarkable, (
and resolved to turn on my sharpest wits
and wait upon the wonderful magacian. <
He seemed an honest man, and in two 1
days I had made up my mind to pay him J
a large fee and learn the strange art, .
with the privilege of using it to cure i
whomsoever I could. Those who had 1
Kon.> onrpfl hv th* urofeasor were sol- '
~J X- .
emnly bound not to reveal the secret to
any one, but my contract gave me -the ]
privilege of using the knowledge as i
... I plcaaed. And now I propose to ]
i -g*v*3 my "readers a simple art which ]
has enabled me to make happy many (
unhappy stammerers. In my own i
hands it has often failed, but in three- '
fourths of the cases which I have (
treated, the cure has been complete.
The secret is this: The stammerer is
made to mark the time of his spcech,
just as it is ordinarily done in singing.
He is at first to beat on every syllable.
He begins by reading one of David's i
Psalms, striking the finger on the knee
at every word. You can beat time by i
striking the linger on the knee, by sim*

finger or by moving the large toe in the
boot.
I doubt if the worst case of stuttering
can continue long if the victim will read
V an hour every day with thorough practhis
art. I take great pleasure j'n
THE CARDINAL'S FUNERAL.
A Memorable Scene in the Crowded
Cathedral at New York.
Ministers of Every Danomination
Witnessing the Barial Services,
The burial of Cardinal MeCloskey in the
cathedral, New York, was preceded by the
most imposing religious ceremony ever wit
nessed in this country. Thero were present
all the dignitaries of the Catholic church of
the United States, the most prominent of
whom officiated, a vast concourse of people
who completely filled the cathedral, and
the services were conducted with a wealth of
music and splendor of appearance never beforp
known in the metropolis.
When the doors were closed on the previous
night the remains of the cardinal, which had
been viewed bj^perhaps 200,000 people while
lying in state, were transferred to a violet
plush-lined coffin of San Domingo m&hogany,
with heavy gold trimmings and solid silver
;old-plated handles. The coffin was then
placed upon the cloth-of-gold covered bier

ier and the elaborate red cardinal's hat at
the feet. Upon the cardinal's head was a
ivhite silk miter, and by his side the gold crosier
of his oflice. Thus the remains of the
cardinal rested in the cathedral during the
jight, watched by the members of the society
A St. Vincent de Paul
At daybreak a number of priests with uncovered
heads entered the cathedral, offered
jp prayers for the opening of the new day,
slowly passed on either title of the catafalque
uid returned to the sacristy.
As 10 o'clock approached the crush on the
)utside of the buiiding became enormous and
oinforcements for the police were sent for.
Damage after catriage rolled up to the
:urb and unloaded richly attired ladies
Tom all parts of the city, but these
lad to tal:e their chances of a seat
vith the more humble inhabitants of
he poorer districts unless they were pew
lolders. At 10:130 every seat in the cathedral
vas taken and chairs had been placed down
he aisle-, which wero also occupied. Around
ho cata'alque thifty enormous candles of
he purest wax wore Jiglited, which brought
>ut the splendors of tho cloth-of-gold and the
ich trappings of tho coffin. The face of tho
ardinal was seen to be as natural as in life,
nirl l-.nrft n. nfinrflfnl. h/innv pxnrossirin. TTr>n;i
he altar there was 110 unusual displa}*, but
>n the contrary everything was very simple,
is is required when a pontifical high mass is
:elebrated.
Behind the catafalque the veterans of the
5apal guards, who had fought for their reigion
under Pope Pius lX., took their stand,
[hey numbered about fifteen, and their half
ailitary, bait' religious appearance lent great
(icturesqueuess to the scene. They were
Iressed in a military uniform of dark green
vitli yellow trimmings, wearing lighter green
atigue caps.
For a long distauco from the altar tho pew3
in the cen; or aisle were occupied by mnuuerablo
white-robed priests, who assisted in
he conduct of the services. Upon tho purple
ovored sanctuary the black, red and purplo
lothed acolytes and altar boys and the briliant,
variegated ccloi s of tho olliciating
iriestsaud bishops glittering with gold, silver
nd all tho colur.s of the rainbow,combined to
nake the scene most picturesque under the
u'oducd light I rem the great stained glass
windows and the soft mellowness of
he wax candles. The great height
nd breadth of the cathedral were enhanced
iy the smoke of incense, which looked Jike
lie clouds of distance. J-'rom the organ loit
bo view was most imposing, and as the deep
ones of the great organ swelled and lilled
he vast edifice the onlookers could not but
e impressed with the solemn grandeur of ilia j
Catholic religion. A great choir sang the
acred Roman music, and this was not tho
jast noteworthy of the events of the day.
Archbishop Corrigan, assisted by cightoen
lishops and" innumerable priests, conducted
he services, which, though lengthy, was so
inposing as to chain the attention of thy vast
ongregaiion to the end. Many Protestant
tiinisters were conspicuous in various parts
f the church, and hundreds of uon-Uathy.ics
i-ere also present.
It was U:-i5 when tho solemn service for tho
ead was begun. A slight iu.?tling in fronS

sat within tho sanctuary. The chant
vas the plain Gregorian, with the c:c -onion
that tlie miserero and the 5:e:;odictu.s
lorninu; deits Israel were rendered in a harnonious
plain chant, according to a version
irranged by Father Lamiuol. After the
jenedit tus the process of incensing tho renains
of the dead prolate was carried ou' by
father AnacMus, assisted by Father Ko'ly

Their cassocks of black or violet and

He was attired in his robes by his

,vere their velvet berettas. The pontifical
nass was celebrated by Archbishop Corrijan.
Tho music was under the direction of Processor
Pecher, the usual organist of the ca:hedral,
and was given with a double quartet
and a chorus ot 100, including such prominent
singers as Miss Beebe, Mile.' Corradi,
Mine. Barron, Messrs. Fritsch, Trimont, Col?tti,
Lawton, Morawski, etc. After the requiem
came the five numbers of the "Dies
In??," the offertory, "Sanctus," and "Agnus
Dei."
Shortly after noon Archbishop Gibbons, of
Baltimore, ascended the pulpit and began his
sermon by taking his text from "Eccles. xiv:
Tho Lord exalted Aaron. He made an
iverlasting covenant with him and gave him
the priesthood of the nation and made him
alesse I in glory. And he girded him about
with a glorious girdle and clothed him with
a robe of glory and crownod him with majestic
attire. He chose him out of all men
living to offer sacrifice to God?for
i memorial to make reconciliation for
ais people. And He gave him power in His
iommandments, in the covenants of His judgments,
that ho should teach Jacob His judgments,
that he should teach Jacob His testimonies
and give light to Israel in His law.
At the conclusion of the services the remains
of tho cardinal were placed beside those
Df Archbishop Hughes in the stone crypt beneath
the great altar. It was estimated that
5,000 people were in the cathedral during the
ceremonies.

Death of Josh Billings, the WeilKnown
Humorist.
*
Henry W. Shaw, tho humorist, known to
the literary world as "Josh Billings," died at
Monterey, CaL, the other morning, from a
stroke of apoplexy. Tho body was embalmed
and sent" East . Mr. Shaw was sixty-five
years old, having been born in Lanesborough,
Berkshire county, Mass., in 1820. He resided
in his native town until ho
had reached the ago of fourteen,
when he went "West and for saveral
years lead a frontier life, being engaged
in the various occupations of steering steam
boats, keeping a country storo, ana acting as
auctioneer in the small Western towns and
cities. Finally, becoming weary of this irregular
life, and being desirous of giving his
daughters a better education than the limited
facilities in the "West at that time afforded,
Mr. Shaw in lfSG5 removed to Pouglikeepsie,
N. Y., and devoted himself to editing
a small paper. It was while engaged in
this work that he wrote the first humorous
article which attracted attention, principally
by its phonetic spelling. He called it "Essa
on the Muel." It was extensively copied, and
the name of Josh Billings soon became known
throughout the land. From that time until
his death his career was one of continual
financial success. One weekly paper
alone in New York paid hi in
$100 a week for a half column
of matter, and his lectures brought him in a
largo and steady revenue. In 1*73 he began
the publication of his ''Farmers' Almanac,"
a book which in its second year had a salo of
127,0U0 copies, and in ten years had netted
the author and publisher ?30.000 each. Mr.
Shaw's humor, says a New York paper, was
hidden in, and did not consist in mere phonetic
spelling,and underneath the bad spelling
of his proverbs and aphorisms there is
at times a depth of wisdom and philosophy
which entitles him to a higher place in the
world of letters than that of a simple humorist.
Pie was a thoroughly domestic man,
fond of his homo and his family, and in bis

which his writings would induce the reader to

defect.
Wediling Guexts Poisoned.
A decided sensation was produced at Honesdale,
Penn., the other night, by the discovery
that a dozen or more guests at a swell wedding
had been poisoned by some food that
was furnished by a Scranton caterer for the
wedding breakfast. At noon Miss Hattie
Weston, daughter of a leading Honesdale
merchant, was married to Harry S. Battin,
superintendent of the Consumers' Ga3 company,
of Chicago. The couple left on tho
afternoon train, and hardly had bjen rolled
to tho depot before it was noticed
that the guests began to depart with
unseemly haste. They were attlicted with
intense pain in tho abdominal region, that
increased so rapidly that some of them had
liai-illv timo +n mnb-i> fclipir nilion ni'mwrlV
At their homes physicians were summoned,
and found it necessary to treat for mineral
poisoning. Either lobster salad or ice cream
absorbed some compound of lead from cans
in which it was brought from Scranton, and
serious results were anticipated in some cases.
At S o'clock fourteen persons were under
treatment, and all the doctors in the town

the bride and groom fared.

- t'liarg <*.
The first meeting o: t.110 /^j\iial Mission
congress, under the auspices of the Ameilotua
Board of Commisswners for Foreign Missions^
just held in Bosto/JWas disturbed by the
publkratio.i of a letter from tho Dr. Leonard
Woolsey Bacon, in which very serious charges
aro made against tho present management of
tho board. He first accuses the officers of
choking off debate or investigation at tlij
annual meetings, and then adds:
"A pastor high in influence and honor, a
fri ud of the board and a member of tho
beard, has in vain sought information concerning
the disposition of certain large sums
of money of whi>?h 110 adequate account has
been rendered. He ha? been unable to get
this matter before tho board. It is simply
probable that the reasen for crowding this
matter out of hearincf'is that there is some
thing in it which the executive committee
wish to keep dark. The facts thus
far accessible seom to mo to constitute presumptive
proof of a perversion of funds.
"Another abuse that is worse than the perversion
of funds is the breaking of the
board's plighted faith toward its missionaries.
At this hour there are many honest,
godly men, the peers of any of the board's
officers in every moral quality, who were
oncj enlisted as missionaries under a solemn
contract on the part of the board that in case
of dismissal by the prudential com?

covenant has been broken in latter and

been virtually from, the prudential committee
to the prudential committee. See to it
that, whatever business is crowded from your
docket, this sacred covenanted right of appeal
shail be guarded in future from being
tampered with."
The annual report shows that tho board

force of 2,0 <0 laborers, native and
foreign, who are currying on an effective
work in church and chapel, in schools, and by

Nellie Grant Sartoris and her husband, fays
that they havo for a long time been known to
the intimate friends of the family here, but
from motives of delicacy and consideration
nothing has been said on the subject. Mr.
Sartoris impressed every one with whom he
came in contact hero during the period of his
engagement to Nellie Grant as, perhaps,
well-meaning enough, Lut so rough
in his ways and so coarse-grained
in nature as to bo entirely unsuited to so
gentle and refined a lady. General Grant
never liked him, and did not favor the marriage:
but when ho saw that his daughter's
affections were enlisted he made no further
objections. Tho Into Senator Carpenter, who
was very intimate with the Grant family, at
tho instance of a number of friends called at
tho White House and expressed their misgivings
as to the match, but General Grant cut
tho conversation short, and said his
daughter was engaged to Mr. Sartoris
and the wedding must take place. Governor
Jewell, of Connecticut, when on his way
back from Russia to go into Geneaal Grant's
cabinet, called, while in England, upon ffcc
parents or Mr. Sartoris. In the course of the

G?e:ce and Servia Aroisei?Germany's
Plan for a Settlement
Advices from abroad state that war is imminent
in the East. A dispatch from Sophia,
Turkey, says: "The populace are fleeing:
Rumors are current that the Servian army
has crossed the frontier. The government
has telegraphed jto Philippopoli?, entreating
Prince Alexander.to return. A telegram
from Nisch says that the Servian war office
has given contracts for 6,000,000 kiIo3 of
corn. Troop? are advancing toward Akpalanka
and Leskowacz."
The war fever runs high throughout Servia,
and active preparations are going on to enforce
Servia's demand for an extension of territory.
English, French and Austrian firms
have been tendered contracts by the government
to supply complete outfits for 25,000
troops, and all the contracts have been allotted;
also one for 35,000 horses. The Lander
bauk war loan has been raised to $5,000,030.

Demonstrations in favor of war are being
held throughout Greece, The army is being

A Berlin despatch says Germany, with the
approval of Russia, Austria, and England,
has proposed in a plan for the settlement of
the Bulgarian question that tho following
principles be observed: First, that the Greek
and Servian demands be rejected; second,
that Turkey be advised to complete her military
preparations, so as to be ready to interfere
in the event of Greece and Servia moving
to enforce their demands. Lastly, that the
union of Bulgaria and Roumeliaunder Prince
Alexander, the latter avowing the sovereignty
of the sultan, be recoguized.

Mr. Gladstone has written to M. Emile

writer on political economy, as follows: "I

Cardinal McCloskey was born in Brooklyn,
March 10, 1810. His father and-mother were
natives of the county of Derry, Ireland, and
emigrated to this country only a few years
prior to his birth. His fatlnr was a hardworking
man, who, dying when John McCloskoy
was ten years of age, left his family a
comjjotencj'.
His delicate health induced his mother to
send him to Mt. St Mary's College. Emmittsburg,
Maryland, whero 1t was hoped
his body as well as his mind might be im"proved.
He entered the collego when not yet
twelve years old. and wont through the full
curriculum of studies, lasting for seven !
years. His devotion to his studies won for j
hini the admiration of his teachers and fel- j
lows, and he was graduated with ths highest |
honors in 1623. Mrs. McCloskey had removed j
to Westchester county and her son went to
her until he should decide on a career. The (
ministry was chosen and the next year he re- |
! turned to St. Mary*, where he pursuea a
! four years' course in the seminary,
