How the Ready Relief Acts !

In few minutes the patient will feel .
slight tingIing irritation, and the skin be-
comes redeemed; if there is much distress in
the stomach, the Relief will assist nature in
removing the offending cause,-a general
warmth is felt throughout the entire body,
and its 0ifIasive stimulating properties
rapidly courses through every vein and tissue
of the system, arousing the slothful and
partially paralyzed glands and organs to re-
newed and healthy action, perspiration fol-
lows, and the surface of the body feels in
creased heat. The sickness at stomach, colds,
chills, headache, oppressed breathing, the
soreness of the throat, and all pains, either
internally or externally, rapidly subside, and
the patient falls into tranquil sleep, awakes
refreshed, invigorated, cured.
1t will be found that in using the Relief
externally, either on the spine or across the
kidneys, or over the stomach and bowels, that
for several days after pleasing warmth will
be felt, showing the length Of time it con-
tinues its influence over the diseased parts.

THERE are few of our juvenile readers,
and even those Of larger growth, who will
not be interested in hearing the pretty in
cident which originated the name of the
beautiful little flower, the forget-me-not.
This exquisite flower Of memory, with its
blue like the tint of the summer heavens,
and its golden eye, bright as the eye of
hope itself, is consecrated not alone to the
"reminiscences of love, but also to those of
home and friendship. The field forget-me-
not, or MyoSotiS d1'renSis, is often assu-
med as the token flower; bat the true one
is the water forget-me-not, MyOSotis pal
ustriS, whose flower is larger and more in
tensely blue than that of its sister Of the
fields. The Legendary origin of its name
proves the claim Of the aquatic species to
be the real blossom Of remembrance. A
German knight and his lady-loye were
walking on the banks of a stream, when
the fair one saw beautiful tuft of the
Myosotis pdluStraS growing in the water,
and expressed wish to have it. The
knight, with due chivalrous alacrity. plum

again climb up the steep and slippery

he sank forever, he threw the flowers to
his mistress on shore, and uttered with his

SPANISH AND CUBAN GENERALs.-The
difference between the Spanish and Cuban
generals, who are carrying on the war in
Cuba, is well illustrated by an account of
an attempt made by Quesada, one of the
Cuban leaders, to exchange some prison
ers. He sent an officer with flag of
truce to Gen. Lesca, spanish comman-
der, with list of the names Of few
Spanish officers and soldiers in his pow
er, and proposed to exchange them for an
equal number Of Cuban chiefs and soldiers
held as prisoners by the Spaniards. Les
cas- reply was to the effect that Spain
would indeed display some pride were she
to accept such a ridiculous proposition,
looking to the fact that she counts upon
the loyal hearts of 100000 of people to
defend her, and that the loss or salvation
of ten or twelve persons was of but little
consequence, especially as it was matter
of ones country being at stake. And, be-
sides, she had none Of Quesada's men as
prisoners, for as soon as they fell into his
hands he had ordered them to be shot, and
be should continue to pursue the same
course" When this answer was recei1ed
by Quesada. he called the Spanish prison
ers together and said: "Senores, hold
in my hand deathwarrant issued against
you, drawn up by your own chief, Lesca,
the reading of it inspires me with horror"
So saying, he handed the paper to one of
his aids who read it aloud. Seeing that
the prisoners were full of Indignation at
the sentiments contained in Lesca's note,
Quesada then said to them, "Senores,
General Quesada is not a General Lesca.
/ pardon you all. You can leave when
you will 4; and, to effect safe exit for you,
| will Issue the necessary passports"
When the General had finished speaking,
the liberated Spaniards burst forth in
shouts for Quesada and free Cuba. Only
two of them asked the necessary protec-
ton papers to go to Havana, where they
had families; and all the others immedi-
ately Incorporated themselves with the
liberating army.

SMALL BEDCHAMBERs.-The is reason
to believe that more cases of dangerous
and fatal diseases are gradually engendered
annually by the habit of sleeping IN small,
unventilated rooms, than have occurred
from a cholera atmosphere in any year
since it made its appearance in this coun-
try. Very many persons sleep i'm eight
by ten rooms-that is, in rooms, the length
and breadth of which, multiplied again by
ten, for the height of the chamber, would
make Just eight hundred cubic feet, while
the cubic feet for each bed, according to
the English apportiOnment for hospitals, is
twenty-one hundred feet But more: in
order to give the air in sick room the
highest degree of freshness, the French
hospitals contract for the complete renewal
of the air of room every hour, while the
English assert that double the amount, or
over four thousand feet an hour, is requir-
ed. Four thousand feet of air in an hour!
and yet, there are multitudes who sleep
with closed doors and windows in rooms
which do not contain thousand cubic feet
of space, and that thousand feet is to last
all night-at least eight hours, except such
scanty, supplies as may insinuate itself
through little crevices by door or window.
Multitudes thus perish prematurely, and
infant children wilt away like flowers with
out water.-Ec.

THE Premier of Bavaria lately invited the
Catholic Governments of Europe to a confer
ence, for the purpose of organizing resistance
to the political programme that will probably
be adopted by the Ecumenieal Council The
Government Of Austria. through its Premier,
has refused to take part in the Conference.
But, while refusing, Won Beust had better
plan in his head for thwarting the political
designs of Rome. He had the plan OF enforc-
ing rigidly the terms Of the Liberal Constitu-
ton and laws lately established in Austria.
And the fact that a prominent ecclesiastic
Bishop Linz has been arrested, tried, con-
victed and imprisoned for uttering doctrines
subversiye of public ORDER" shows his deter
mination in the premises, and the means he
proposes to employ. This is the best way
for Austria, or any other country, to repress
ecclesiastical domination, and assert the
rights of the civil power.

1T is asserted in several of the English,
French, and Italian journals that the Re-
publicans of Europe, under the guidance
Of Mazzini and others, meant to have rev.
olutionary outbreaks throughout the con-
tinent,-all to take place as nearly as pos
sible together, and France to give the
key note of Instruction. Circumstances
have shown that there was certainly such
q widespread purpose. but they also show
that it was weak one, and that the peo-
pie Of Europe are no longer in "a conca-
tenation accordingly" after the fashion Of
twenty years ago. Concession has been
inaugurated, and is at work everywhere
more or less effectively; and Louis Blanc,
Kossuth, Mazzini, Garibaldi. are now no
more than Schamyl or Abdel Kader.

GENERAL KUTLER AS 4 LAwYER-J'he
Washington correspondent Of the Roches-
ter New York Chronicle closes recent
letter with the following story:
The intricacies of the law are freshly IL
Illustrated by a new story of General Butler,
which have just heard. The Directors Of
Boston bank, having their suspicious
aroused. notified their cashier that an ex-
animation OF the books and cash in his pos
session must be had. The cashier went to
Butler and stated his case. He had mis-
appropriated funds Of the bank to the
amount of $4,000 Part of this had been
lost in stock speculatiOns, and part was still
invested in various speculative securities.
He asked whether he had not better own
up, restore what he could, and let his bonds
men make up the deficit. Butler, after
some consideration, directed him to attend
the meeting of the directors, deny that
there was anything wrong, and, if they de-
sired, surrender the keys and GO home,
leaving them in possession. He did as d.
rected, gave up the keys, and the directors,
upon examining the books and cash in the
vaults, found a deficit Of $4,000. They
notified the cashier and his bondsmen, who
in due time appeared, accompanied by But
Ter, who, acting as spokesman, inquired
what the matter was. The Directors in
formed him of the facts, aud added that
they did not wish to make scandal, and if
the cashiers bondsmen would make good
the missing cash. no further proceedings
would be had. General Butler coolly re-
piled that there must be some mistake
His client had surrendered the bank and
funds, as required by his bond. If there
was any deficit, it must have occurred af-
ter the Directors took possession. He
would assure them that they could not take
possession Of the bank and its contents.
and come upon the bondsmen also. If
they would accept the cashiers resignation
and give him the usual certificate of good
character, they would call it square and let
the matter drop. The Directors now be-
gan to see the dilemma in which they were
placed, and sent for lawyer, only to find
that they had made false step; that they
had no proper evidence of the amount of
cash in the bank when surrendered by the
cashier, and that in taking possession they
had lost their only remedy. As it would
not do to let the stockholders know how
they had been overreached, the Directors
had to go to work and make up the loss
out Of their own pockets. They gave their
defaulting cashier the certificate of charac-
ter which he demanded, aud he went to
work in another bank. in the same city,
few weeks afterward. What part of the
stolen $4,000 Butler got for his fee, | did
not hear. The truth OF this anecdote | can
vouch for but will not tell how it came
to first crop out in Washington.

ANOTHER BURNING STAR.-Father Sec
chi has recently added discovery to the
many he has already made 10 the ever
widening world of stars. He has discov-
cred celestial conhagrationl He has
turned that most wonderful and simple of
all instruments. the speetroscope, to the
variable star r in Gemini, and he has found
it all ablazel
We well remember the thrilling sensa-
ton which was caused by the sudden out
burst OF a star in Corona in 1866, which
shone with the lustre Of star Of the fourth
magnitude, aud gradually disappeared in
in the formless void, though still remain
ing as an object of telescope research.
The variable star in Gemini, to which
we now refer attained its maximum bright
ness in February last, and has been sub
jected to careful spectroscopic examina-
ton by Father Secchi, one of the unwearied
investigators of celestial phenomena. He
found its spectrum closely analogous to
that of the star in Corona 1t shows a
brilliant hydrogen ray, and, as near as ter
restrial observation can determine, pre-
sents the awe-inspiring spectacle of a
world ON fire.
1t has taken many years for the light Of
that burning star to reach our mortal Wis
ion; perhaps even now, yonder sparkling
sun, flaming up among the stars. has passed
into new form of material existence, and
its dependent worlds have been dissolved
in vapor. Many years must pass, before,
even on the swift wings of light, the
tidings will be borne to us for many years,
still shining among its peers, will the star
be seen by mortal eyes, even when the fiat
of Almighty power has blotted it out for
ever.
R in Gemini is not the only fire whose
mighty blaze we have to watch. The
physicists have been busy with the two
comets of 1868, called Brorson's and Win
necke's, and found them to be masses of
burning carbon, Of extreme tenuity. Win
neckes comet still family burns in the
northwestern evening sky. Now, too, we
can account for the great star of 1872,
which suddenly shown forth in Cassiopeia,
with brightness which made it visible at
MONDAY; now we comprehend the lesser
light of Corona, and watch with intensi-
fed interest the fire which is every night
revealed to our Observation-Disclosures
Bulletin.

" is soon to be startled with a new tele-

smash all systems now in operation into

new system works by machinery, and can
dispatch matter over the wire fifteen times
faster, and fifteen times cheaper than by
hand. 1t promises to work a complete
revolution in telegraphy."
