NOTES OF TRAVEL.

Yesterday was in the town clerks
office, here in Bristol, R. L., when a la
dy come in to hire the town hall for a
series of lectures. She was woman
below the medium height, aged about
forty five, name, Mrs. Bradley Hubbell.
and has lectured twenty-five years in
nineteen states, in all their counties, and
in Canada. Her subject for Sunday eve
nings is Infdelity, but week days she
tells all that is known of the body and
soul of life and its capabilities of dis
ease and its cause and cure These SUBJ ]
jects include Phrenology, Physiognomy,
Physiology, and various other ologies,
some of which are apparently of her own
invention. She is doctress of the style
she pleases to call Cureapathy, as to cure
the people is her object, and, according
to her representation, the disease "gits
up and gifts" In one town in Connec-
ticut woman near her death, whose
lungs, the physicians said, were all con-
sumed, was raised upon her feet in three
days, by the use of red ciover tea. The
excitement run so high that nice red
clover sold for two dollars pound, and
after the supply was exhausted at the
druggists, people went to their barns and
picked out clover from the hay, and
could hardly supply the demand. This
woman and her husband drink clover tea
as regular beverage. the same as ordi-
nary mortals drink Young Hyson or Jap.
The leaves, stalks and blossoms are all
used. She asserts that there is nothing
equal to it for causing long life, health
and vigor. Then instead of coffee they
parch and grind clover seed, and make
a delicious drink so much superior to
coffee in its nourishing, invlgorating in
fuence that words fail to set forth its ex-
cellence. have noticed in years past

This remarkable woman drew from her
pocket a mysterious package, and desir-
ed our attention while she showed us the
most wonderful work of art in the world.
This package, after shaking, showing fer
ules and unjointing, developed into a
nice umbrella. Her husband was the
inventor, and she was selling patent
rights at such rate that he who bought
a state would surely make half million
of dollars. A mandatory has been
