Then, again, I had dull and strange pains in various parts cf my body. My appetite was good one day 5. id I had none whatever the next and niyhead pained me more or less much of the time. A while afterward I noticed much that was peculiar about the lluids I was passing and that a sediment, scum and a strange ac- eun’inlation appeared in it. Still ldid not iralize that these thinfls meant anything :e‘ .ous and I allowed the illness to run along until on th( " Bth day of October I fell pres» Irate while rallring along ’i‘remont steet. 1 was carried home and co’istantly at- tended by my regular physician, but in spite oi his skill [kept growing wor e and linally iliey tripped my side in the vicinity Of the art taking away l'ortyAsix ounces ofwster. ’i ii; reliele me for the time, but 1 soon be- came as bad asbefore. Thenthe doctors gave me up entirely, declared I could not live more than twenty-four hours and my daugh- er, who was residing in Paris, was tele- graphed for. Still I lingered along for several weeks, far mrre dead than alive, but never giving up hope. (hie nightâ€"it . on (he L’Oth of April, I very well re- lilililiK‘J‘ir :y attendant, who was reading I e paper to me, began an article which ’Ii'lbed my disease and suchrings exactly. it told how some severe cases of “rights disease had been cured, and so clearly and 'ensibly dill it state the case that 1 determined to try the means of cure which it described. No i sent my man to the drug itere, procured a bottle of the medicine un- lznown to my physicians and friends, and tool; the lirst dose at 10 o‘clock. At that “me 1 was suffering intensely. I could not weep; I had the short breaths and could scarcely get any air into my lungs. l was ieiribly bloated from head to foot, and the etion of my heart was irregular and pain- :ul. The next morning 1 was able to breathe l’reely ; lhe pain began to leave me and the bloating,r decreased. [continued to take the medicine, and to-day, sir, I am as well as I ever was in my life, and wholly owing to the wonderful, almost miraculous power of \Vztrner’s S:fo Cu ‘3. I do not know fi hat this medicine is made of. or any- thing else about it, but I know it saved my iil‘e when I was given up by the dectors and had really been dead for weeks ; that it has kept me in perfect health ever since and has cured many of my friends to whom I have reconnnended it.. My recovery is so re- markable that it has excited much attention, and physicians as well as others have inves- tigated it thoroughly. 1 am glad they have, for I feel that the results of such a wonder- ful cure should be known to the many thou- sands in all parts of the land who are suffering from troubles of the kidneys, liver, or heart, in some of their many dangerous forms.” The representative of the press thanked Mr. Larrabee for his very frank and clear tetcnient, and was about to leave the oflice when a gentleman stepped up to him and enquired if he was Seeking information about Sir. Larrabee’s sickness and recovery. The scribe replied that he was, whereupon the Miitleman said -. a , t “J .’ of this paper was commissioned to inâ€" \ L c “Agate its details and verify its facts. The article referred to was a statement made by Mr. R. l“. Lurmbee, formerly of London now of the New York and Boston Dis- .Zch Express company. whose office is on “111 street.

The doctor said the reeoverywas o to \Varner’s Safe Cure, and if he had rtainly advise them to use this remedy. Dr. Johnson said kidney difficulties are :iore common than most people think and that many symptoms which are supposed to be other diseases arise from the kidneys. He said that ladies after gestation are specially subject to albuminous troubles which require prompt attention. An Interesting Chapter From the Life of a. Prominent Gentleman. (13081071.

The conclusions from the statements above made which come to the newspaper man as well as the general public, must be twoâ€"fold. First, that a modern miracle of healing has been performed in our midst, and that, too, by the simplest of means and one which is within the reach of every one. It should be remembered that Bright’s disease is not usually a sudden complaint. Its beginnings are slight and its growth slow. The symptoms by which it may be detected are different with different persons, no two people usually having the same. The fact was manifest in the ease of Mr. Lar- rabee, and he had no idea of the terrible complaint which had attacked him until it became fixed upon him. Secondly, testi- monials or such high character and so out- spoken in tone, conclusively prove the value of the remedy and its superior nature to the proprietary articles with which the public have formerly been flooded. “The greater includes the less," and the remedy which has been pro\ en so valuable and has saved a life after it was brought down to death's door must unquestionably be certain in the many minor troubles which are so disastrous unless taken in time. to 2.‘ 50 annual rings of vegetable growth, reveal the fact that these monarchs of the vegetable world were sapling-s when Nebuehadnezmr was born. The great fallen Monarch of the Forest has been estimated to have been 4000 fyears old, and grew from seed propagated by older parent trees, and these in turn from grandparents, whose crumbled dust forms a. rich vegetable mold to nourish their younger progeny. llow many such generations occurred no one can tell. But older than these are the glaciul beds. \thn these ploughed their way over the surface of North America and Scandina- via they planed out mighty beds and ground and polished down the uneven surface of a former age. In this remote age the coast of New England was like that of Greenland at the present day. Few geologists will place the glacial period at less than 100,000 years ago. But we could go back still further. In the tertiary strata. of California. has been found what is called the earliest human re- mains ever discovered. These existed many thousand years ago, when one-half of New Jersey, one-third of Virginia, and all of ,lr‘lorida, and part of Texas and Great Britain were under water. The Mediterranean sea was then double its present size, and the (lulf of Mexico extended to Ohio. A large part of California was under the bed-of the Pacific ocean, and water then ex- tended back to the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. But older than this period and formation was the underlying stratification ofehallr, still older was the 'l‘riassic, and older yet the new red sand- stoneâ€"such as comes to the surface in parts of Ssotlnnd. Again, still lower, the old Silurian, then the older Laurentinn. seen at the surface in Western Canada, and older yet than all tfi'cse the granite or great under- lying reekâ€"the parent that thrusts itself up as the back-bone of continents, cutting through all others to show us 011 the surface What is below. “'hat an infinity of time must have passed away in the successive formation of these rocky layers ! â€"â€"â€"â€"-_»<-o»»>â€"â€"â€"- The Earth‘s Great.

The foreman was furious and the proprietor sorrowful. Frictional electricity in the printed sheets of paper as they left the presses was theiinmediute cause of their trouble. It is an interesting and not un- common phenomenon, and is not casd ' ex- plained nor easily controlled. it has puzzled l’rofs. Bell and \Vzidman, and the best electricians we have about here. The pack- ing upon the press cylinder seems to act as an inductor, and the paper leaves the press thoroughly electrified. \Vc watched a 1.1 as running off 1,700 per hour, Suddenly the printed sheets clung about the cylinder as though p3,.) cl upon it, and had to be torn off in strips. Again, we lifted :1 few freshly printed leaves, and they ripped and crackled like thestitches in an old cont. Then we saw :1 lot oi cardboard being printed. The sheets stuck together as solid as a. briekfind could not be separated until the electricity had partly passed off. A printers’ piece of brass rule placed in this pilc off cardboardnvith an end projecting, threw ofl’ sparks when ap- proached within an inch by another piece of rule. Two sheets sucked together when held fourteen inches apart. \Vet rags placed around the delivery table and let into a bucket of water charged the water with electricity in forty minutes so that a positive shock was felt upon a hand beingr immersed in the pail. Electrical currents were left in the hands and arms upon handling a. pile of paper eight minutes alter being printed. The bother to the printer is a. considerable one. It entails inconvenience and a serious loss. Valuoblc work is frequently spoiled by the electricity packing the leaves so closely as to offset the fresh ink. Then the presses have to be slow-speeded, with he quent steppages. Nothing so demoralizes the pross~room as this mystery of frictional electricity when under full headway,~vfl'om the Paper Trude World. him.’ His kidneys, liver, lungs and heart are perfectly well and sound. 1 can only add that, from what I have seen, I would unhcsitutiugly recommend this remedy.” We do not believe that God is less just or merciful than are His feeble human child- ren, 01‘ that He has prepared a hell for those who never knew Him, or for children not liaptiyed prior to death. Such thoughts are degrading to the Almighty. “'0 do not believe in the sovereignty of God as taught by the Calvinists. God is a. king, absolute by right and by a perfect law of love and justice. This belief makes man free in his will, reason and conscience. Such a. belief makes us full of love, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, nieekuess and temperance.

James Freeman Clarice, foxfon. Liberal Belief. Bornhardt-Damula. Bernhardt, says a Paris letter-writer, can not get on without much advertising. and I ought to add thatch people now need it more, for her star begins to pale, and there are rumours of an approaching catastrophe. Then, she and her husband have called the lndqwulcnrn F/‘a‘ucaiA‘c to account for an- nouncing the iinmincnce of a suit for judicial separation, but this perhaps is sim~ ply another fern: of advertising. Jacques certainly has not proved to be a good invest inent; in “La Dame aux Cauu llias,” thanks to madam’s lessons, he was very successful ; in “Les Meros Enncmiss,” in spite of his defective accent, he gave great promise, and it was fondly hoped that at the Theitrc Modcrnc, of which he was to be the manag- er and the star, he would rise to renown in “Jane Grey,” and “ Carmagnola.” But these expectations have been disappointed ; Jacques suddenly declared that he was tired of the stage, and abandoned the part of Andrew Bolmki declaring at the same time that somebody elso must take in hand the new management. Bernhardt was aghast, the gossips say ; moreover, the man had struck forhighcr wages, and, to show how much he was in earnest, he he- took himself to the Gymnase and there signed a three years engagement (luckin :1 professional one) with M. Koning. All this is a heavy blow to the comedienne, coming as it (loos on the top of the financial disasterâ€"to wit the less of those 420,000 francs which she had invested in a factory run by one of her relatives, who has failed. Then too all her diamonds are advertised for sale at thchotel Drouout, and by the time this letter reaches you those jewels, gained by sobs and tears and smiles, those souven- irs of triumph and success, will have been scattered by the auctioneer’shammer. Not one dollar remains of the harvest of dollars which 5110 reaped in America. It is all well enough for Mme. Gabrielle Ellinni to save up 5,000,000 ; Gabrielle never had any talent, and was by nature prudent ; but Bernhardt is a genius, and was in duty hound to imitate her celebrated predecessor Adrienne Leconvreur, Vi hose casket fetched 40,0001ivrcs when sold for the profitof Mar- shal Saxe. Not that I predict penury to Mme. Daxnala, butI remember the ease of F‘ophia Arnould, who once rolled in wealth, and yet who was reduced to live on the charity of her hair-dre. Then there was la Claison, who died in a g2 “rot, and Nut mard, only to glad to marry a dancing- master, after having refused the hand of the Prince de Scubisc. Allof these were idols in their time, yet their fortunes came and went “like the lamps of the footlights,” to quote la l’elisser, who died in a hospital, though the carpet of her boudoir was cov- ered one day by her admirer with hank-notes to the value of a million. But Sarah will never get on unless she ceases to be an an- aohronism and will follow the lead of Mlle. Davaqcr and Marie Magnicr, who have laid by for their old age and a rainy day. It is not enough to triumph; one must profit by victory, as Hannibal told his captains. :‘tachel was better advised, and though the 1,274,371 francs which- she left to her heirs cut a sorry figure in comparison with some of the fortunes of the queens of comedy and song, yet it was enough to keep any reason- able woman from starvation. Bernhardt must bestir herself, for popularity is flitting, and she cannot stand the nervous pressure much longer, if those who are in her confi- dence tell the truth. Still, with her dia- monds, she has not yet lost her prestige. The diamonds of Mlle. Mars were stolen twice and twice recovered and then sold, for fear that a third larceny might be irre- nicdiable, and none the less that great act- ress was hailed with rapture when it pleased her to play Celimme or Bermice, although in the provinces the house was never crowded unioss the bills announced that "Mlle. Mars would wearall her jewellery 3” So true is the assertion of Mine. Cornuel, the spright- ly chronicler of the seventeenth century: “Diamonds on a woman are as necessary as cheese in a mouse-trap l” M. Claretie and others bewail the sad fate of the great trage- dienne, and then console her by predicting other and richer harvests in the future “ for this valiant creature, whose dream is to resuscitate dramatic art in two theatres at a time and show the Parisian how Shaks- pearc and Goethe ought to be interpreted.” .____-¢oo 4->>o§_â€"â€"â€"- Use dispatch.
