CHRONIC RHEUMATISM CUREDi

dEoR9EToXs, Jan. 81, 1903.
DEAR SIR: It is with sense of gratitude, and a
desire that others suffering from disease may be in
duced to the EStract Of Beech Drop, that con-
sent to give the following statement for publicity.
Until the last month was a sufferer from Chronic
Rheumatism, from the effects of which my heal b
war so completely undermined and broken up, that
lost 20 or 30 pounds of my usual weight. Anxious
to find some relief resorted to the most approved
patent medicines. l used number of bottles of
Townsend's Sarsaparlls, and exhausted the list Of
Liniments, without any effect. My joints now be-
came enlarged, and the pains in my limbs excru.
times night The muscles ofny legs were so con.
tracted that presented the appearance of maH of
sixty-ive when l walked. In this condition, more
through curiosity than belief in its good effects
commenced the use fyour Beech Drop, and in ten
or twelve days the swelling about my joints had SUBJ
sided; and now, after the of three bottles 1 am
able to resume my business, and can walk with the
same ease and comfort that formerly did.
Yours truly, &C., ISAAC BARRETT,
Second street, GEORGETOWN.

Hon. n. P. BANKs.-It was reported some
time ago that the political hierarchy at Wash
ington, finding that the " crushing out" sys-
tenn did not succeed so well as they expected,
had granted a general dispensation to the
members of the democracy to think what they
pleased upon the Nebraska question. This
doctrine was proclaimed at headquarters, when
the New Hampshire election was pending
but now, the wind has veered round again
and those democrats affected with the Anti
Nebraska heresy are to be hunted down. The
Boston Post, for this reason, pursues Mr.
Banks with merciless malignity. 1t says of
him -
He not only labored in Congress to defeat
the Nebraska bill-speaking against it and
voting against it-but in June he visited his
constituents, just after period of unparal-
leled excitement here on account of the rem
dition of Burns, and in an address delivered
at Waltham he declared that by an irretriev-
able step he had separated himself from his
political friends and that he should wage
eternal hostility to the Nebraska bill and to
the men who compose it"
Now, although Mr.. Banks was regularly
nominated by the democracy of the Seventh
Congressional District as their candidate for
representative, the Post repudiates the nomin-
alton and attacks the candidate. For what
Because he opposed the passage of and voted
against the Nebraska bill. 1t is somewhat re-
markable that our neighbor the .Fgis COIN
cides with the Post in attacking Mr.. Banks;
but it does so for the alleged reason that he
wished the Missouri Compromise to be repeal
ed although he voted against its repeal. We
think the .Egis has attacked Nh. Banks I'M
reasonably the Post, of course, does so mere
ly at the nod of Caleb Gushing. We are glad
to see that Mr.. Upham's manly and honor
able course towards Mr.. Banks is beginning
to operate favorably upon some of those wing
presses which have hitherto attacked that gen.
tleman. The Lowell Daily Journal & Courier
OF the LIST inst. says
The course of Mr.. Banks has caused some
misunderstanding in times past but his ex-
PLANTATION of all his votes, his present position
of hostility to the Pierce democracy, and the
hearty endorsement of many of his whig col
leagues, should secure his reelection by a
triumphant vote.
Massachusetts should not be behind her sis
ter States of the North in sinking somewhat
of mere party jealousies and dislikes, and gen.
erously sustaining those who have been found
upright and unterri6ed in the great battles for
Northern rights and the extension of freedom"
We hope that Mr.. Banks will be triumph
antly returned from the district which he has
80 well represented already.

The TRANsCRIPT.-We have been under
the impression, lately, that the Transcript had
been cured of the extrayagances of imagina-
ton and expression which ''used to put the
city in a roar" every morning; but we seem
to be mistaken. The issue of the I'd inst. is
as good as any of Its ridiculous predecessors.
There is pretensiou to dignity about it which
is inexpressibly affecting. Its attempts to be
hypercritical, in order to get up reputation
for correctness, are delightfully."- amusing; and
its affectation of the anti-personal courtesy of
newspaper controversy, is exquisitely rich
We have enjoyed much laughter over the
brilliant stupidities and consequential absurdi
ties of the illustrious Transcript, and we are
glad to think that all our sport is not yet spoilt
We admire the Transcript as sincerely as the
sage Mr.. 1ristram Shandy admired the ass
1t is true we can make nothing of discourse
with the 'torgan," beyond the proposition, the
reply, and the rejoinder; still we can extract
amusement from it; and he who amuses us
is our benefactor, and has our gratitude.

TABLE MOVING AT IDLEwILD.--N. P. Will
lis, in a late Home Journal, describes some ex-
hibitions of this phenomenon, which took
place at his country residence, in the pres
ence of "Judge of the City Bench, two lady
leaders of society, Gone from New York and
the other from Boston) young lady just re-
turned from Europe, substantial merchant,
and successful author (Bayard TAYLOR. -
The company were assembled for the purpose
of making trial of an ''odic," OR sort of spirit
ual prescription which had been sent Mr..
Willis for the cure of consumption, under
which he is suffering. After the trial, which
Mr.. w. declares was followed by favorable re-
suits, the following incidents occurred:
"Our talk naturally led to experiments at
table moeing; and one of the wooden legged
quadrupeds-an or molu table, hitherto of the
most steady habits, standing in the centre of
the drawing room-began to prance with our
Boston friends laying her hands lightly upon
it, and the next moment, though she is large
and majestic lady, knocked her and my little
daughter Lillian PROSTATE upon the floor, very
nearly upset the Judge, and broke the arm of
a lotus-crowned statue of Melancholy, which
was on a stand in the corner. 1t appeared
that spirits invoked to heal lungs, may also
assault ladies and children, damage furniture
and break objects Of Art-mschievous angels
of mercy, to say the least. Under the touch
Of one of our visitors, Gan invalid lady, who
could scarcely walk across the room) the ta-
bles, one and all that evening, seemed partic-
ularly ungovernable. Two of our neighbors
who CHANGED to come incur venerable
friend S. and stout working farmer were
obliged to hop out of the way, in the midst of
their unbelief, to make room for the possessed
mahogany, pirouetting under the mere touch
of her slender fingers, No two of the men
present could, by holding on with main
strength, stop the one lady's will power thus
exercised-the table rising from the floor or
gliding away, as if gentlemen wills were the
only obstacle. The faces of the scared SER
wants, who were peeping in at the doors,
would have been study for Fusei. The
very tables they had beeswaxed every day
of course we 'beIieOeG nothing-any of us.
But this was what we sac.
l may as well add, perhaps, that. to my
own touch, the possessed tables were wholly
insensible-as they were to the touch of all
the gentlemen present. They danced only
with the ladies. "-New Era.

ACCIDENTS ON THE READING. RAILROAD
Last evening, as the passenger train from
Reading was approaching Norristown, man
who was on the track was knocked down by
the ow-catcher, and badly injured. He was
picked up and carried to house at Norris
town, where he received medical aid. AS the
same train had reached within couple of
miles of Conshohocken, the engineer sudden
ly reversed the engine, in consequence, as we
are informed, of some impediment being on
the road, and then jumped off, The fireman
followed, and broke one of his legs. The en-
gineer escaped without injury. In moment
after, the boiler exploded, and the locomotive
was blown to pieces. Fortunately. none of
the passengers were injured. Philadelphia
