Mr.. H. T. Helmbold-Dear Sir: In re-

ion about Buchu, I should say that have
used and sold the article In various forms for
the past thirty years. I do not think there

used, or known to be used, in the various dis
eases where such medicate agent would be
indicated. You are aware, As we'll as myself,
that It has been extensively employed in the
various diseases Of the bladder and kidneys,
and the reputation It has acquired, In my
judgment, Is warranted BY the facts.
I have seen and used, as before stated,
every form Of Buchu-the powdered leaves,
tincture, fluid extracts-and ! am not cog'
infant Of any preparation Of that plant At al
equal to yours. Twelve years. experience

Of is merits; and, without prejudice or par

others.

b. T. Hslmbold, Drusgist-Den Sir: I
have BEEN sufferer for upward Of twenty
years with gravel, bladder and kidney a5eo-

medicinal preparations, and been under the
treatment Of the most eminent physicians,
experiencing but littls relief.
Having seen your preparations extensively
advertised I consulted my family physician
In regard TO using your Extract Buehu.
1 did this because I had used all kinds Of
advertised remedies, and had found them
worthless and some quite injurious; in fact
I despaired Of ever getting well, and deter
mined to use no remedies hereafter unless
knew Of the ingredients. It was this that
prompted me to use your remedy, As you ad-
vertissd that II was composed Of buchu'
eubebs and juniper berries, It occurred to
me and my physician a. an excellent COM
bination; and, with his advice, after an ex-
animation Of the article and consulting again
with the druggist, I concluded to try 1t. 1
commenced to use It about eight months ago,
at which tims I was confined to my room.
From the arst bottle I was assonished and
gratifed at the beneficial effect, and after
using It three weeks was able to walk out
I felt much like writing to you a full state
ment Of my case at the time, but thought my
improvement might only be temporary, and
therefore concluded to defer and see II It
would effect . perfect cure, knowing that 1t
would be Of more value to you and more
sA1bLhCtoky Ia
am now able to report that q cure is ef-
fected, after using the remedy for FIVE
months.

The first and most important object was to
offer to the afflicted q remedy that was per-
fectly safe, and could DO taken BY adults
children. Ignorant persons, who pay no At

might reason tina. "if a .easpoonful taken
occasionally did good, two would do better,
and perhaps a bottle would euro in a day"
Many have broken down their health BY
dissipation and on this principle, but they
had been years in doing so.
What I would have understood 10 that no
injury can result from its use. 1t is as safe

expect any medicine to rebuild a wrecked or

little faith, and nc apparent beneficial results
for about 4 month. At the expiration Of tina,

to persevere in It's use, and now, at the expi.
ration Of four months, although am an in.
firm old man. nearly seventy-eight years Of
age, and consequently medicines cannot be
expected to favorably affect me as they other

relief and permanent benefit from Mr.. Helm.

Air. Free from Dust, Absolutely Dark.

Prot Tyndalls experim ents With the
dust in ordinary air continue TO be start
ling. He has discovered that by forcing
air into glass tube through the fame of a
spirit lamp. he can burn out every particle
Of dust and rshder the beam of air abso-
lutely invisible. That this dust can be
burned proves that it is mostly organic, or
of vegetable or animal origin, since min
eral or inorganic could not be consumed.
But still more wonderful result was
reached. The fame of a spirit-lamp is
smokeless, but wreaths of the blacklist
"snoke" assembled through the beam Of
light, showing themselves in the distinct
est manner. The question then ARCS 9, could
this blackness be smoke at al Could no
other cause be assigned to explain the
phenomenon To settle this question, he
tried a flame of pure hydrogen gas, in
which it was impossible that carbon could
be, to make real smoke, But on this being
held beneath the electric beam, the same
black wreaths assembled. A mass of red
hot iron gave tho same result.
What, then, was this darkness which
was shown to exist in cases where smoke
was impossible? 1t was simply the dark
ness of stellar space-the darkness caused
by the absence of organic dust, showing
that pure air is dark by virtue of its own
intense Transparency. Nothing could
demonstrate more clearly the invisibiIity of
the medium which renders all things WIS.,
ible. The flame held under the beam de-
stroys all the floating particles, and a
stream of pure air ascends across the hor-
izontal beam, which, jostling aside the
dust laden air, causes a black band of pure
transparent air free from illuminated dust
lin appearance exactly like SMOKEY to take
its placoacross the beam. But it was also
discovered that it was not necessary to con-
sumo tho dust in order to produce pure air.
1t was found that sphere of heated cop.
per held beneath the beam of light pro-
duced the same "smoky" appearance, and
that, too, even after the temperature OF the
copper lad fallen below that of the boiling
water. Upon this it was suggested that a
sphere of boiling water would produce the
same result, and this was found to be the
case, although in less degree.

Mysteries OF Marriage,

Mysterious is marriage in Illinois. For
instance, at Bloomington young gentle
man bearing the primitive name of Adam.
leads young woman to private altar,
and is surreptitiously joined to her. The
new made pair keep their secret, and the
virgin wife returns to the residence of her
papa. Becoming inpatient the bride
groom goes to the parental mansion, pro-
duces the certificate and demands imme-
date possession Of his better moiety -
Upon this, the ungrateful bride, seeing
tornado gathering upon her fathers brow,
with an impudence which does credit to
her sex, actually denies that she is mar
ried at all The poor repudiated
husband is ferociously kicked out of
the front door by the enraged pa
ter tamilias. Recovering his center of
gravity, he proceeds to institute an action
for divorce. This shows that under the
rude treatment to which he has been SUBJ
jec.ed, his love (gnd who can wonder at
IT'D has been turned to bitter hatred. If 1T
were otherwise, why, in the name of com.
mon sense, did he not sue ont a writ of
habeas corpus, which would have soon
placed the young woman with the short
memory in his arms? Moreover, it is ex-
tremely difficult to see upon what ground
poor Adams libel for divorce can be OBJ
tanned. Certainly, there has been no de-
sertion, for the knot Is only three weeks
old. But u first rate action, with o nice
prospect OF damages, might be brought
against the passionate parent-and that is
what We should have recommended.

Scenes i'm japan.

A street called the Tokedia, is the
Broadway of Yeddo. IL is twenty miles
long, aud very much crowded. But there
is vast difference in the appearances Of
the two thoroughiares. There are no We
hicles in use in Japan, and the pavements
extend froc, one side CT the street to the
other. No provision is made for the pas
sage of carriaga Is, omnibusses, or wagons,
for there are none IN existence, and per-
sons on foot take possession Of the whole
highway. The entire metropolis IL built
of wood, and one dwelling is representa-
ton of all.
A Japenese house at the first glance re-
sembles childs toy house on q large
scale. The floor is raised about two feet
above the earth, and there is covered
porch in front, resting upon the bare
ground. Aita entering the porch you
step mp into the house always leaving your
shoes behind you. Ii Is considered a very
great breach OF proprlety to enter dwell
ing without removing ones boots. If they
wear only sandals covered with q leathern
thong, which they can shuttle on or off in
an instant. this custom is of but little mo-
ment To the natives, but foreigners find it
very trouble, ONE one. The porch an
swers rs a depository for shoes, and, IN
passing the house, the number OF visitors
may be known by counting the number OF
pairs of sandals on the porch.
When the walls of house are up it con-
sists OF but one large room. which is then
cut up by partitions, which are nothing
more han sliding screen that close up
into each other, in a fashion that admits
of one apartment being divided into a dol.
en- distinct ones instantly. There are 10
chimneys attached to the houses, and they
contain no beds, chairs or tables. The
floors are covered with series OF clean
bamboo mats or cushions, each six feet by
three, and nicely bound with red or blue
tape They are stuffed with light wool OF
moss, and are as soft and yielding to pres
sure rs the heaviest Brussels velvet These
mats fit in with each other as regularly as
the squares on a chess-board. and the
whole floor kept rs clean and is busted as
often rs the mahogany sideboard in the
house of Dutch burgher

tie consideration and attention) the conclu-
sion to which the scientific world, the press,

delicate food, we feel assured 1t will prove an
invaluable blessing. In fact, we can hardly

An Episcopal monastery is among the
signs of progress in the direction OF what
is known as the High Church in this coun-
try. 1t is comparatively new movement
in the English Church, where, under the
control of the Oxford roformists, it is re-,
garded at the same time as a work of pro,
gression, and a return to the customs of
ante Reformation times. There is already
monastery of the kind at Oxford, from
which the present movement in this coun-
try emanates. Indeed, the reverend gen.
tleman, Mr.. Benson, who, with number
of his brethren, has come to this country
for the purpose of introducing the mon
astic system among Professionals, is the
founder of the institution at Oxford. AS
ISOLATED with him are several American
Episcopal clergymen Of Maryland, Connect
lieut., and elsewhere. They distinguish
themselves, like the Jesuits, by name
which is designed to mark the unity of
their order. They are called the Society
Of ST. John the Evangelist. They take
upon themselves, after the manner ofJe-
suit and Roman Catholic monachism, VOWS
of poverty, chastity aud celibacy. They
have for some time contemplated the es-
Enlistment OF their order in America, and
have in view, it is said, two principal mon
asteries in New York and Boston. and an
extension of the system in due time to
other parts of the country; and they are
supposed to have ample funds for an eff
cent beginning of the undertaking. Be.
side the priests, the design contemplates
the cooperation of lay brethren, and even
sisters, who all take the same vows. Faith
er Benson is the Superior, and the monks"
who are already enlisted rs his coadjutors
are described as being eloquent, able zeal
Gus and energetic men; and their chief
mission, it is presumed will be, where it
is most needed, among the poor. 1t will
be curious if the monastic system after
being suppressed by law in France and
Spain, and generally in Europe, should be
revived in this country Boston Post

A VERY interesting divorce suit is now
pending before the Supreme Court of
Pennsylvania. The plaintiff, Mrs. Mary
l. Jones nee Sweeney, claims her discharge
from the duties and obligations of matri-
mony on the ground that the defendant
had represented himself to be q resident Of
Bemots Island whose wealth could be
COUNTED by hundreds of thousands of dol
lars, and that, having consented to be his
in that belief and with that understanding,
she looked upon the marriage as null and
void, when she found that he was no more
than a pretentious gardener, whose only
property consisted in a wellstocked cab
bage garden. an orchard and cottage.
