EDITOR COSMOPLITE / desire, as an unsolicited
tribute to the merits of Helmbods Buchu, and for
the benefit of those similarly afflicted myself, to
say that after consulting many eminent physicians
and trying nearly all the best advertised remedies
in the vain hope of finding relief from aggravated
kidney and bladder diseases. from which have
suffered excessively for many years, good fortune
finally suggested To me Helmbods Buchu, which
commenced using with little faith and no apparent
beneficial results for about month. At the cXpir-
alton of that time. however, thought commenced
to experience slight relief which encouraged me to
perseyere in its use and now, at the expiration OF
four months, although j am an infiIm old man.
nearly is years Of age, and consequently medicines
cannot be expected to favorably affect me they
otherwise would, have found such unspeakable
relief and permanent benefit from Mr.. Hemholus
valuable discovery, that feel ought to publicly
record the fact as an acknowledgement to him and
u valuable suggestion to the public.

THE RAILROAD GAUGE.

The Bangor Whig says, of the proposed
change of gauge on the Maine Central
railroad:
1.-The question of gauges has been thor
puyhly tested, and whether the arguments
in favor of the narrow gauge are sound
or defective, the fact that it has been al
most universally adopted throughout the
United States shows. the absurdity OF ad-
herring in Maine to a system which sub
iects us to a comparative isolation, by ne
cessitating the stoppage and transhipment
of goods before crossing the State line. 1t
Is obvious that the interests of our State
will be subserved by the adoption of lines
uniform with those throughout the country,
and if the change required to effect this
involves expenditure and exertion, we
should congratulate ourselves that the
management OF two of our longest and
most important lines have been sufficiently
far-sighted to consult their own future profit
and benefit the community by promptly
taking steps TO accomplish the desired
improvement"
A scientist has investigated jute chignons
and switches, and discovered in them
things that respectively have a brown
pointed head, any number of legs, a fuzz
ON the back, and crawl along with wig
gle something like caterpillar. They
appear to resemble the centipede family.
They burrow in the flesh like a wood tick.
Two cases of sunstroke-one very clear
" described-lre related in the Bible that
of the son of the Shunamite who went out
with his father into the field in the morning
and suddenly cried out. my head, and
was taken home to his mother and sat
upon her knee till noon, when he died.
This, AS the boy died at home just as the
sun was at its zenith, is not very clear
case of sunstroke; but that OF MANASSAS,
who was out in the barley field overseeing
the reapers, when the "sun came on his
head, aud he died in his bed. how soon IS
not stated, seems to be a true case OF i'll
ISOLATION.
