The Cremation Society of fcfagland ha'

purities air and ground, both of which
are rendered impure and nauseous by thu
putrefaction of the dead in graveyards.

A new charity has been commence:1 in

the sisterhoods in South London. It is
the opening of a house for the reception
of sick persons who are neither curable
nor incurable in the technical sense used
by physicians and hospitals, but who arc
simply dying. They say 4,thc need is
very great. London does not possess a
single house where a dying man can end
his earthly days in peace, and so day by
day men pass into eternity in untcllnblo
agony, the spirit within the 11 crushed

teachers is falling oif, r.s also their wages
as compared with those of women. In
Massachusetts statistics show that while
there has been an increase in the whole
number of teachers of 322, it is wholly
in favor of females, there being a decrease
of one in tiie number of males cm
ployed, with an increase of 3lid in the
number of females. There is a corresponding
decrease in the average wages
of males and of Icmalcs, the former lecciving
$8.51 less per mouth and the latter
$3.38 more than the previous year.
The average of the wages per month for
male teachers is $118.07 and for females
$48.17. The low wages for which young
women cau be hired to keep school is an
obstacle to the employment of an increasing
proportion cf innle tachcrs.

upon the probable cITect. of tin* newost

total number in the field. Only 2.2 per

that in futuro engagements the
proportion of wounded will be greater
than heretofore, but that tlio wounds
will be less severe, as bullets, owing to
their small size and high velocity, Will
often pass through bones without splintering
them. It is estimated that about
twenty per cent, of the troops will bo
wounded in the next campaign, anil that
a little more than three per cent, will bo
killed. That is to nay that in an army
corps of 35,000 men, 1200 will be killed
and 5S00 wounded. About one-third
of the wounds, it is thought, are likely
to be serious. In lending combatants are

A carlain capitalistic newspaper, after
long and diligent search, has heard of a
farmer who is worth .r>00 000. It doesn't
give his name or address, but it has
heard of him, and. therefore, concludes
that the remaining farmers of the I'nited
States have no cause of complaint, "in
the country in which they arc rapidly
growing rich." In an adjoining column it
publishes this paragraph:
Cornelius Vanderbilt hasbeccine dissatisfied
with bis palatial residence on
Fifth avenue, New York, and will build
a new one at a cost of $3,0()i).0il(l. This
pahroe is to be erected on Fifth avenue,
between Fifty-seventh and Fifty-eigth
streets, and will be the most magnficcnt
in the city. It is said that the ball-room
and private theatre of the new house will
be large enough to accommodate the cutire
four hundred.
Now, if the farmers of this country
ought to Ire satisfied because one of their
number has gained $."?0<>,000, and if
that fact proves the. prosperity ?dl
farmers, ought not the people who arc
not farmers to be more th in satisfied because

Certainly thennn farmers must

which it was sought to unite tho two

for a genual Democratic prima1 y |
on March 28. Anticipating trouble over
the couut at this eloc ion, u special com- |
mittoo of seveu was created to uct like
the famous Electoral Commission of 1870. ,

More thuu 00,000 votes were polled, a
larger number than the the Democracy
has received in any election in Louisiana j
except one. The Hrst returns showed a
good majority for McEnery, ami the re- i
suit was accepted by the Foster people.
Later returns reduced MeKncry's major!
ty to 1,7*8. Then the Foster people set
up the plea that some oi the boxes in
New Orleans had becu stulTed. Ever
since the election the committee has hscn
engaged in investigating the returns.
Several irregularities and frauds were unearthed
in the parish of Sabine in favor
of Foster, and in New Orleans iu favor of
McEnery. In Sabine the committee set
the matter right by throwing out tlie i
fraudulent votes, hut when it came to
New Orleans the Foster people insisted
that tlio whole precinct where fraud occurred
should be thrown out.

Albany, N. Y. Journal, March l)th.
Saratoga, March 11th.?For some time
pait there hare been reporte here and elsewhere
in Saratoga County of a most remark
able?indeed, so roiuarka le aa to lie miraculous?cure
of a most serere onse of locomotor
ataxia, or creeping: paralysis, simply by t he
use of a popular remedy known aa ' link
1111s for Pale People,'' prepared And put up
Kthe Dr. Williams Medicine Com | tan y,
>rristown, N. Y., and Brockvllle, Out.
The story was to the effect that Mr Chns.
A. Quanta of Galway, who for the last six
or eight years has been a great sufferer from
creeping paralysis and its attendant Ills, and
who had become utterly powerless of all i
mlf-taelp, bad, oy the use or a fww btwa of <
the Pink Pills for Pile People, been so fully
restored to health aa to be able to walk'
shout the street without tho aid of crutches.
The fame of this wonderful, miraculous euro
was so great that the Kvcningr Journal reporter
thought It worth his while to go to
Ualway to call on Mr. Quant, to learn from
his lips, and from the observation and testimony
of his neighbors, if his alleged euro
was a fact or only an unfounded rumor.
And so he drove to Oalwny and spent a day
m iiimiiv iunT9 in viBjiiug air, yimui, ( i
getting his story and interviewing his'
neighbors suil fellow-townsmen. It may bo
proper to say that Oalway is a protty little
village of about 400 |>oople, delightfully
located uear the oeutre of tho Wwn
of Oalway, in Mnratoga County, and
about 17 miles from Haratoga Springs.
Upon in<|uiry the rosidetico of Mr.
Charles A. Quant was easily found, for
everybody seemed to know him,speak well of
him, and to bo overflowing witli surprise ami
satisfaction at his wonderful euro ami restoration
to the activities of enterprising olllsenship.
for Mr. Quant was born in Oalway
and had Bpent most of his life titers. Mr.
Quant was foumi at his pretty hori\?ujij) a
ixNiponie to a krf<JMlnQ(*ltibf,door it was'

If Mr. Qunnt lived there and was at homo,
said: "I am Mr. Quant, Will you como iiif'1
Aftor a little general and preliminary convor-,
nation, and after he had been apprised of tho.
object for which the Journal reporter had
called upon him, he, at request, told tho
story of himself ami of his sicklies* nnd
t?'i: 11 >l.< sufferings, and of the inidfectual
treatment lie had had, nnd of Ills Html euro ,
by the use of Dr. Willinms's l'lnk Tills for
lVilo People, and cheerfully gave assent, to
its use for publication, lie said: "My name
is Charles A. Quant. I atn 87 years old. I
was born in the village of Oalway, and, excepting
while travoHng on business and a
little while in Amsterdam, have s|>eiit my
whole life here. My wife is a native of
Ontario. Up to at>out eight years ago I bad
never been sick and was then in perfect
health. 1 was fully h!x foot tall, weighed
180 pounds and was very strong. For twelvo
years I was a traveling salesman for a piano
and organ company and had to do,or at least
did do, a greet deal of heavy lit tine got my
meals very irregularly ami slept in enough
spare bods* in country houses to freoxo any
ordinary man to death,or at least give him tba
rheumatism. About eight years ago I began
to feel distressed in my stomach and consulted
several doctors about it. They all
said it wasdjfpepsia, and for dyspepsia I

oould hear of that claimed to be a euro for
dyspopsin. Hut I continued to grow gradually
worie for four years. Thon I began
to have pain in my back and legBand became
conscious that tny legs were getting weak
and my step unsteady, nnd thon 1 staggered
when I wnlkod. Having reoeivod no benefit
from the use of |>ntoiit medicines, and feeling
that I was constant Iy growing worse. 1 tlion,
uikiii advice, liegnn the use ot electric bolts,
pads and all the many different kinds of
electric appliances I could hoar of, an I spent ,
hundreds of dollars for them, but thoy did
me no good. (Here Mr. (juant showed the !
Journal r<<i>ortor nn electric suit of underwear
for which ho paid $124.) In the fall of 1
1HKH the doctors advised a change of climate,
so I went to Atlanta, On., and acted us agent
for the Estey Organ t 'ompany. While tiiere
1 took a thorougn electric treatment, but it
only seemed to aggravate my disease, and
the only relief I could get from tlie sharp
nnd distressing pains was to take morphine.
The pain was so intense at times
Hint it seemed as though I could not stand <
it, and I almost longe<l for death as the only ,
certain relief. In Heptemlier of 1888 my
logs gave out entirely and my loft eye was
drawn to one side, so that 1 had

After I had been under treatment by I'rof, |
Ktarr and Dr. Waro for four months, thoy .
told mo they had done all they could for me.
Then I went to the Ni?\y York hospital n? I
Fifteenth street, where, u[K)ii examination, !
they said I was incurable and would not tako ,
ino in. At the Presbyterian hospital they j
examined me and told me the sntne thing.
In March, 18'J?, I was taken to Ht. Peter s 1
hospital in Albnnv, where i'rof. II. H. iiun 1
frankly told my wife my case was hopeless; i
that he could do nothing for 1110 and that ,
she had better tuko ino back home and save
my money. Hut I wuutod to make a trial
of I'rof. Hun's famous skill and I romamoi
under his treatment for nino weeks, but so
cured no benefit. All this time I had l>oen
growing worse. I had tiecomo entirely
paralysed from my waist down and hal
partly lost control of my hands. The pain
was terrible; my legs felt as though they
were freezing and my stomach would not retain
food, and I fell away to 120 |*ounds.
In the Albany hospital they put 17 big
burns on iny back one day with red hot
irons, after a f?i? ?b?ys thev put 1!
more burns on and treated me wfth" electricity,
but I cot worse rather than I totter:
lost control of my bowels and water, and
upon advice of the doctor, who said there
was no.hope fpr me. I wai brought home;
where It was thought tost death would soon
come to relievo nie of inv sufferings. l-ast
Heptember, while in this helpless and suffering
condition, a friend of mine in Hamilton,
Ont., collpd iny attention to tho statement
of one John Marshall, whose case had been
similar to my own, and who ha 1 been cura I
by the use of Dr. VVillianis's Pink Pills for
i'ale People.
"In this case Mr. Marshall, whois a protni
nont metnber of the Royal Templars of
remperanee, had after four years of constant
! 'fitment by the most eminent Cauatlian
i .lysicians been pronounced incurable,
and was paid the $1000 total disability claim
allowed by the ordor in such casee. .Soma
months after Mr. Marshall began a course of
treatment with Dr. Williams's l'ink Fills,
and after taking some 15 boxes was fullv re- i

"1 thought I would try them, and my wife 1
wnt for two boxes,of ttio uilia and ft
Miewrapjier on each box. For the first few
davs the cold baths were orotty severe, as I .
was so very weak, but 1 continued to follow
instructions as to taking the pills an l treatment,
and even before I had used up the 1
two boxes of pills 1 began to feel beneficial
effects from them. My pains were not so
