that Chronic Dyspepsia may be cured by exercise
and diet alone. This is o mistake. The Stomach
must be stimulated and regulated, and the liver and
the dscharging organs put in good working order be-

Many persons fancy that Fever and Ague can be
avoided by adopting unusual precautions against
damp and colo. Never was there greater fal-
lacy. There is no absolute safeguard against ma

Thre is nothing like this genial vegetable invigor-

the BITTERS.
Diet and regimen are powerful allies of judictous
medical treatment when the preservation of health
in insalubrous localities is the object in view. But
they will not answer the desired end alone. Use
them as aids to the BITTERs, bus do not rely upon

LARGEST CITY IN THE WORLD

LARGEST CITY IN THE WORLD
A very erroneous idea is indulged in
by many people, in relation to the
largest city in the world; many conf
IDENTITY assert that London, or, as it is
frequently termed, the Great Metrop-
oils, is far superior, both in size and
number of inhabitants. But this is
not the case. Jeddo, the capital of
Japan, is without exception the larg-
est and most populous city in the
world. 1t contains the vast number
of 1 100000 dwellings, and 5,000,-
900 of human souls. Many of the
streets are nineteen japaneseries in
length, which is equivalent to twenty
two English miles. The commerce
oe Jeddo far exceeds that of any
other city in the world, and the sea
along the coast is constantly white
with sails of ships. Their vessels
sail to the southern portion of the
empire, where they are laden with
rice, tea, seacoal, tobacco, silk, cotton
and tropical fruits, all of which can
fnd ready market in the north, and
then returns freigbted with cora, salt,
isinglass, and various other produc-
tions of the north which have mar.
ket in the south. 81 '2AA seo 2"t

A Real Copperhead.

The Sentinel on the Border, publish,
ed at Louisville, KY, instructs its
readers by such articles as the follow
ing: So
Lincoln and Davis were the chief
tains of contending principles and
communities. The first was the head
of the federalistic element, the other
of state sovereign democracy. By
the power of numbers, the one tri-
umphed and the other fell so far as
principles may be said to fall by the
defeat of armies. The one was an
unsettled, shifting, vulgar, rollicking
.nan-the other serious, grave, digni-
fed and determined. The one was
plebeian by nature-the other noble
man. As between these contestants
as men, the rise and fall of armies has
done little else than to bring them out
INTO stronger contrast. The triumph
ant party is now dead-he fills the
grave of an unwept tyrant, aud will
be execrated the more as the wheels
of time roll on, tanning the chaff from
the wheat. Lincoln cared nothing for
the triumph of principle-he was sat
lsfied with the din and clash of the
hour. And so, at the sacrifice of prin-
ciple and the nations honor ia an hun
dred Ways, he triumphed over his op-
ponent. What are the results secured
by that bloody triumph /? What ques-
tions are settled? The states are
further from union now than ever
the people are bound under mon
strous load of expressions and tyran-

of his people, he may still stand erect

exclaim, Shake not your CORY locks
at me- Thou did'st it! Had Jeffer-
son Davis sacrificed those principles
npou which his people went into the
struggle, the arrogant north, and not
the south, would be the stricken land.
Had Jefferson Davis departed from
his determined defensive warfare
had he enlisted the slaves of the south
in his armies, under the flag of eman-
cipation in '62, the North would have
been a smoking slaughter pen! But
the banner of his people had been
thrown to the breeze, and under its
waving folds he and his people fell to-

ar and hero, will outliye an hundred

FANNIE WRIGHT. THE MURDERESs

FANNIE WRIGHT. THE MURDEREss.
This desperate woman has been SEN
fenced to Imprisonment for life for the
murder of policeman McChesney on
the 18th of October last Her story,
like the story of every woman like
her, is a sad one. Not many years
ago she lived with her father, brother
and sister in poughkeepsie. The fa-
ther went to California, leaving Fan
ME and her sister in a boarding house
which they were soon Obliged to
leave, however, for want of money to
pay their way. Fanny came to New
York and obtained employment that
paid her four dollars a week. She
then brought her sister here and both
lived on Fanny's earnings. After a
while she was offered six dollars
week as waitress in an eating saloon
in Fulton street, and accepted the
place. Here she made the acquain-
tance of a man who seemed to take an
interest in her, and who offered to get
her a better situation. She trusted
him, went to the place he promised
her, and was betrayed. Not content
with what he had done, he boasted of
it at the saloon, and Fanny was dis
charged. 1t did not take her long to
find out the truth OF the saying, fdcit-
as descensus AUerni Her father came
back to New York, and On learning
her fate, instead of trying to reclaim
her, he refused to see her, and went
back to California, taking Fanny's sis
ter with him-the sister whom Fanny
had supported respectfully through all
her own trials and shame. When she
found herself disowned by her father,
aud entirely deserted by friends, she
became desperate, plunged into dissi-
patton, roamed the streets like mad
creature, grew a terror to the police,
and finally In scuffie with one of
them in the street, plunged large
knife into his neck and murdered him
And for this crime Fanny Wright now
goes to end her days in the same pri
son that she passed when coming to

The Seven Ancient Wonders.

These were: 1. The Brass Co.
lossus at Rhodes, 121 feet in height,
built by Ceres, A. D. 2S8, occupying
twenty years in making. 1t stood
across the harbor at Rhodes sc years,
and was then thrown down by an
earthquake. 1t was bought by
Jew from the Saracens, who loaded
900 camels with the brass. -sqsa
2. The pyramids of Egypt. The
largest one engaged 100000 work
men, was so years in building, and
has now stood at least 5000 years.
8. The Aqueducts of Rome, inveut-
ed by ,Appius Claudius, the Censor.
4. Labyrinth of Psalmetichus on
the banks of the Nile, containing with
in one enclosure 1000 houses and IL
royal palaces, all covered with mar
bic, and having only one entrance.
The building was said to contain g.
900 chambers, and a hall built of
marble, adorned with statues of the
gods.
5. The Pharos of Alexandria, a
tower OF Ptolemy Philadelphus, in the
year 172 before Christ. 1t was erect
ed as a lighthouse, and contained
magnificent galleries Of marble-a
large lantern at the top, the light of
which was seen nearly hundred
miles off. Mirrors of an enormous
size were fixed around the galleries,
rejecting everything on the sea. A
common tower is now erected in the
same place.
6. The walls of Babylon built by
order of Semiramis, or Nebuchadncz-
Ear, and finished in one year by 200,-
900 men. They were of immense
thickness. T..
I. The temple of Diana at Ephesus,
completed in the reign of Servius,
the sixth king of Rome. 1t was $50
feet long. 200 broad, and supported
by 123 marble pillars. 55~sv

The Last of the Samaritans.

In the valley of Palestine where
Abraham and his grandson built their
affairs to Jehovah. and where some
sixteen centuries later the Saviour
talked with the woman of Samaria
by "Jacob's Well" the last remnant
of the sect of the Samaritans, num-
bering only about forty families, is
now rapidly dwindling away. A
traveller. who has recently resided
three months among these unmixed
descendants of the best blood of an.
cient Israel, assures us that as re-
CARDS their dress, manners, social
customs, religious rites, and other
tribal peculiarities, they are the fac
SMILES of their ancestors of thou
sands of years ago. They have never
lntermarried with any other race, and
claim to be the true "sons of Joseph"
whose tomb is in their valley.
1t is said that to observe their dom
estic life is to live in Biblical at
mosphere, and to return to the days
of the patriarchs. The law is read
to them from Gerizim, as it was read
to their forefathers from the same
sacred mountain as early as the days
of Joshua; along the base of Mount
Ebal camels wind their way, carrying
on the traffic between Jerusalem and
Galilee, as it was carried in the era
of the Evangelists.
From 1906 until 1S46, the Samar-
itans were prevented by the Moham-
medans from celebrating the passover
on Mount Gerizim; but twenty years
ago, through Christian intercession,
the privilege was restored to them.
Their days are numbered, but their
history and traditions will cling to
the "Valley Of Shechem," as long as
time lasts. The Greek church has
purchased the Well OF Jacob, and
filled its mouth with stones, prepara-
tory to erecting temple over it. Ii
would have been in better taste to
leave it as it Was when the patriarch
watered his flock there, and as it re-
manned when the Holy Founder of the
new dispensation drank Of its "sweet
water" ..-
The few surviving Samaritans are
said to be worthy of their lineage and
of the ancient fame of their sect
upright, benevolent, and remarkable
for their physical beauty and lofty
bearing. Their surroundings are so
grand and solemn, that they could
scarcely be otherwise than a poetic
people. Tabernacled und er the
shadow of Mount Moriah, on the side
of the City of Refuge" and with
the rock of the Holy Place, the stones
set up by Joshua, and the spot on
which Abraham prepared his son
Isaac for the sacrifice, close at hand
we may well suppose that these noble
specimens of the Hebrew race pass
their lives in sort of religious costa
cy, il which the comparative degrada
tIon of their present condition is for.

REMARKABLE WALKING FEATs.-A
Chicago paper, the Staats Ztitung,
gives the history OF the walking ex-
ploits of a Norwegian named Meusen
Ernst, which throws those of Weston
entirely in the shade. This Ernst was
born at Bergen in 1899, and, after be-
ing some time at sea, began his career
as a pedestrian in England at the age
of twenty, walking from London to
Portsmouth, a distance of Y English
miles, in 8 hours, at the rate Of 100
miles in II IL hours. The distance
from London to Liverpool, $50 miles,
he walked in 30 hours, or at the rate
of 100 miles in 20 hours and 40 min
utes. But these remarkable perform
ances were only an earnest of his fu-
ture pedestrian feats. According to
the terms of a bet Of 100000 francs
-$2O,000-of which, in case of suc-
cess, he was only to receive 1000
francs-S8O0-he agreed to walk, in
Is days, from Paris to Moscow. At
noon, on the 1lth of June, 1922, he
started from Place Vendome, Paris,
and on the morning of the 25th of
June stood before the kremlin, in
Moscow, accomplishing the distance
of 452 German miles, or 1000 English
miles, in 13 l-2 instead of Is days,
or at an average of 107 miles a day.
And he did this without being accom-.
panied by carriage and trainers
and his food and drink were not pre-.
pared for him beforehand at every ho
tel on the route. The daily average
distance he performed was more than
do-Ll- H.. -eee-,rii~Lo ly Wvutor
in his unprecedented" feat of doing
an average Of 49 l.2 miles per day
from Portland to Chicago. At anoth
er time Ernst walked 1T miles day
for Ia days consecutively. At other
times he made IS miles day for 81
days running, and 81 miles per day
during 60 days. The above are sale
to be facts, capable of the fullest anG
most satisfactory proof, and if they
are SO they show that in comparisoI
with Ernst's accomplishments that of
Weston was very minor affair.

The habit of viewing Christian doc.
trine and Christian character as two
separate things, has most pernicious
tendency. A man who in his scheme
of Christianity says, "here are so ma
ny things to be believed, and here are
so many to be DONE" has already
made a fundamental mistake. The
doctrines are the principles which
must excite and animate the perform
ance. They are the points from which
the lines Of conduct must flow, and
as lines may be supposed to be form
ed by the progress of their points. or
to be drawn out of their substance,
so the line Of Christian conduct is on
ly formed by the progressive action of
Christian principles, or is 1rawn out
of its substance. .-Erskine. ssof8s

A Woman becomes Mana Moth
4 a or a Father.

"Brick" Pomeroy of the La Crosse,
Wis, Democrat tells this marvellous
story, and really seems to believe ii
himself. But he is such a dreadful
copperhead that we shall not insist
on ultra republicans, men or women,
crediting him:
Eight years since, when we were
engaged as city editor of a Milwaukee
paper, there lived an editor in this
state named Powell, now connected
with Chicago paper, we think. In
1862 he married Miss Ellen Burn
ham of Brodhead, Wis, after court
ship of some months. Her parents
werd old residents of Brodhead, and
of high responsibility. The daugh-
ter taught music, had large number
Oh pNpiis, anu was very attractive.
Powell lived with her as husband
two years: she being all that time a
good wife in all respects, presenting
him with but one child. At the ex
piration of two years, when about
I'll years of age, Mrs. Powell's voice
changed, she grew light whiskers, and
gradually changed her sex, developing
into man in all respects, as if ma
ture, anxious for freak, had turned
a portion of herself wrong side out
The husband and wife separated when
the wife became man, and Mrs. Ell
len Powell took the name of Edgar
Burnham, donned male attire, sought
and obtained employment as a clerk
in Chicago, and lived single young
man for one year. During this time
he fell in love with nice of Senator
Morgan of New York, but did not
marry her, for reasons not pertinent
10 this article. But about the end OF
the year he did marry a young lady
of Brodhead, Wis, a Miss Gerta
Everett, who was music pupil of
his when he was Miss Helen Burn
ham, over three years previous to the
marriage. This second marriage was
about two years ago.
Soon after this marriage "Edgar"
Burnham and wife moved to Water
loo, Iowa, where they now reside, or
did not long since. The former girl
is now a man, the former wife is now
a husband, the former mother is now
father, the former young lady teach
er Of young lady is now that young
lady's husband. Truth is, indeed,
stranger than fiction, and the above
simple statement of facts borders so
upon the marvellous we could not be-
lieve it did we not reasonably know
nearly all the parties. Any one Can
be CONVINCED. by writing to the par
ties in either of the places We have
named, of the full and entire truth
of this most wonderful tralsforma-
ton, which puzzles not only the med
/ ical but the entire scientific word, and
which fact appears now for the first
time in print, though the particulars
have long since been known to us and
to other newspaper men and promi-
nent citizens of Brodhead, where the
parties so long resided.
