Netc Poem by Uhtttier.

FIR m these wild ROCKS | look to-day
Ger leagues of dancing waves, and see
The misty coast-liue stretch away:
And mark the spot where you must be.
listen, and | seem to hear
The pleasant voices OF old days,
The pines that shade the Isle Of Deer,
The rivers ripping song of praise.
Dear friends! send you what can
l float across the severing tide
All that shy and silent man
Could give if sitting by your side.
l ths nix you for sweet festal DAYS,
For tender memories Ii gering long,
For joyful meetings, fond DELAYS,
And ties of friendship woven strong.
Not vainly has your work been done;
For many a heart else cold and dim
Those sweet June days are shining on,
And woods and waters sing their hymn.
0 friendsl whose lives still keep their prime,
Whose bright example warns and cheers
fe teach us how to smile at time
And set to music all his years
Make room, 0 river of our home,
For other feet in place Of ours
I'D in the summers vet to cone,
Lapse softly by the Feas. of Flowers.
Hold in thy mirror, calm and ,esF,
The pleasant pictures thou ba-t seen;
Forget thy lovers not, but keep
Our memory, like thy laurels, green.

Of the losses of the / russian army

Of the campaign up to the 18th OF

it is infallibly correct, l have rea-

A Mutt thu Burglars Cannot Crack

The London correspondent Of
the Boston Commonwealth mar
rates the following:
A stranger in Threadneedle
street, standing in the narrow
thoroughfare, shortly before ten
o clock in the morning, would have
his curiosity aroused by the nun.

would see entering silversmith's
shop, and in q few minutes reap
pea'ing with small Japan boxes
under their arms. If by further
chance it so happened he was ut
the same spot between five and six
o'clock in the evening, he would
probably observe the same young
men return to deposit the same "a
pan boxes on the counter OF the
same shop. The explanation Is
simple. The boxes, which contain
the unbanked securities and cash
of merchants and brokers, are
locked up for the night in the sill
versmith's strong room, built in
an excavation of sand rock far be
low the suaface Of the street, and
for the night, considerable flow
Of water The merchants and bro
| kers pay a rent for the use of this
secure depository; and, acting no
doubt upon this idea, Mr. Street
er, an extensive jeweler, intends to
give the wealthy possessors of
costly jewels an opportunity of
using his 'Chatwood safe with its
hydro-pneumatic envelope and
patent water-level guage. This
safe stands on the floor of his shop,
and is open to daylight 1t rests
upon fsundation of many details.

more than ten times sixty tons the
weight of the safe itself, which is

the safe is burglar proof, engi-
neer proof.gunpowder proof, chem

fused. melted, wedgea, or bored,

weighs six tons, be picked Or tam~

manipulation without bringing
down upon himselfa a datector The
key consists of four paris, each in
the possession of different persons,
so that danger is averted in that
direction; waile, supposing the
whole key to be lost, the wards OF
the lock admit Of no fewer than
two thousand variations, and new
key could be made tha. would rem

of a successful breaking into the
safe. it would require sixty hours
to accomplish the feat; and, as be-
fore stated, the first blow, nay, the
merest scratch Of the operator
would at once be shown ny the in
dex of patent water-guage level.
The inventor is relieved OF good
deal of anxiety in the protection
the safe affords for his own val1-
able stock, and already many
wealthy clients have secured space
in it for the safe keeping of their
jewels and title deeds.

How They Execute Criminals in Ja-
pan.

An official asks the culprit if he
is ready, and he calmly replies.
One of the assistants Sits the
dress at the back Of the neck, and
turns it back over the shoulders,
leaving the neck and upper por-
tion Of the back bare. He then
pours little water on the neck,
and then, for the only time,
shudder passes over the poor
wretch's flesh The executioner
then takes the dipper and pours
water along the blade ofthe sword,
also wetting the linen wrapped
around the handle, so as to secure
firm grip. Then he quietly
moves to the left Of the prisoner,
who is motlonI ess as stone; two
assistants stand in front and two
behind the kneeling form. There
is a silence as of death on the
crowd, the only sound being the
chirping of birds. The execution
er measures him, lifts the sword
with both hands shoulder high; a
lightning stroke, given apparently
without any effort, never-to- be-
forgotten "thud,' and l see red
circle, which is throwing out
Jets of blood.
The two assistants in front i'm
mediately raise the head from the
hole and put 1t in the pail of water,
taking the baadage from the e. es.
while the others sit on the body to
eXpel The blood, and then roll il
UP and lash it in the mats, The
head is taken from the pail ana
placed on the spike, and the clay
packed around the neck. We ap-
proach close by to it. 1t is the

expresses perfect repose. No pain
could have attended such an instan-
taneous DEATH The torture can
only be in the anticipation. Per
haps fifty seconds more elapsed
since the head was severed from
the body, when, as we are gazing
at the lace, and have just taken
out my pencil to ss etch the scene,
horrid convulsion passes over
the features--a spasm as Of dread
full pain. The eyes and mouth
partially open, and the tongue is
pro:ruded and Withdrawn, A
doctor present says it is only mus
cular action, but it is horribly life
like in appear ance. We leave as
quickly as possible, glad enough
to get away from the sight, and
feel sickened and disgusted at
having satisfied morbid curiosity

A young rural lawyer in Illinois
is going to take the stump during
the fall campaign, and proposes to
grasp a ray Of light from the great
orb of day, spia it into threads of
gold, and with them weave a
shroud in which to wrap the whirl-
wind which dies upon the bosom

BEST REM EDIES

For diseases of the bladder, kidneys, gravel,
dropsicaI swellings, rheumatism, and gouty
affections. Under this head we have arrang-
et Dysuria, or difficulty and pain in passing
water, Scanty Secretion, or suIa!l and ire
ouent discharges of water; Strangury, or
stopping of water; Hematuria, or bloody
urine Gout and Rheumatism of The kidneys,
without any change in quantity. but increase
in color, or dark water. 1t was always
highly recommended by the late Or. Physick,
in these affections.

There is a man living in Cal
aoun county, Mississippi, who is
supposed to have more strength
than any three men in tie State.
He is thirty five years Of age,
weighs 225 pounds. and can walk
two hundred yards with a bar of
railroad iron that takes the COM
bined strength OF five ordinary men
TO lift.

The Gravel.

The gravel ensues from neglect or improp-
er treatment OF the kidneys. These organs
being W eak, the water is not expelled from
the Bladder, out allowed to remain It be-
comes feverish, and sediment forms. 1T Is
from this deposit that the stone is formed,
and gravel ensues.

THE KIDNEYS.

The Kidneys are two in number, situated
at the upper part of the loin, surrounded by
fat, and consisting Of three parts, viz the
Anterior, the Interior, and the Exterior.
The anterior absorbs. Interior consists of
tissues or veins, which serve as a deposit ter
the urine and convey it to the exterior. The
exterior is a conductor also, terminating in a
single tube, and called the Uterus. The ute
rus are connected with the bladder.
The bladder is composed of various cover
ings or tissues, divided into parts, VIZ the
Upper. the Lower the Nervous, and the Mu-
cous. The upper expels, the lower retains.
Many have desire to urinate without the
ability; others urinate without the ability to
retain. This frequently occurs IN children.
To cure these affections, we must bring in
to action the muscles, which are engaged IN
their various functions. If they are neglect
ed, Gravel or Dropsy may ensue.
The reader must also be made aware, that
how wever slight ma be the attack, IL rs sure to
affect the bodily health and mental powers,
as our flesh and blood are supported from
these sources.

Dropsy

Is a collection OF water in some parts OF the
body. and bears different names, according to
the parts affected, W.: when generally dit
fused over the body,'t is called Auasarca
when of the abdomen, Ascites; when OF the
chest, EydrothoTax.

To this awful total of 1868
killed, captured, missing and
wounded must be added the losses
suffered by the army through dis>
ease, and the killed and wounded
in the numberless skirmishes and
little fights that have occurred.
The army has suffered from olsen
terry ever since the invasion COM
menced, and my informant believes
that to the above total should be
added at least 10000 to $4,000 for
those who died of this and other
diseases. or who are now lying
sick in the hospitals. This makes,
in round numbers 18O,0 men to
be deducted from the German force
which marched into France.-[N n.

H. T. HELMBoLD, Druggist

DEAR SIa-1 have been sufferer, for up
ward OF twenty years, with gravel, bladder,
and kidney affections, during which time
have used various medicinal preparations,
and been under the treatment of the most
eminent Physicians, experiencing but little
relief.
Having seen your preparations extensively
advertised, l consulted with my family phys
ician in reglId to using your Extract buchu.
l did this because hae used all kinds OF
advertised remedies, and had found them
woI tbless, and, some quite injurious in fact,
| de SPARED of ever getting well, a nd determ
ined to use remedies hereafter unless
knew of the ingredients. 1t was this that
prompted me to your remedy. AS you
advertised that it was con posed of buchu,
cubebs, and junipef berries, it occurred to me
and my ply sician as an excellent combina-
ton, and, wi tn his advice, after an exam,na-
ton of the article, and consulting again with
the druggist, concluded to try it. l COM
menced its use about eight months ago, at
which time was confined to my rooL,. From
the first bottle l was astonished ami gratifed
at the beneficial effect aud after using it t rec
weeks, was able to walk out. felt much like
writing you a full statement of my case at
that time, but thought my improvement
might only be temporary, and therefore con-
cluded to defer and see if it would effect
perfect cure, knowing then it would be of
greater value to you, and more satisfactory
to me.
lam now able to report that cure is effec
ted after using the remedy for FIVE months.
have not used any now for three months,
and feel as we'll in all respects as ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleas-
ant taste and odor, nice tonic and invigora-
tor of the system, do not mean to be with
oui it whenever occasion may require its use
n such affections.
