ers, 81 Fifth avenue, Pittsburgh, Pa, has
been afflicted with chronic rheumatish for
thirty years, from his right hip to his foot,
havin to use cruteh and a cane, at times
so painful as to utterly incapacitate him
from attending 10 his business. Having
tried every remedy known, without effect,
except Gilliland's Pain Killer, he was
finally induced to try it. A second applica-
tion enabled him to lay aside his crutch,
and third effected permanent cure. Mr..
Bell is popular and well-known citizen,
is living monument of the effacacy OF
that great medical discovery, Gilliland's S
Pain Killer. The afflicted should ask their

The most faithful lover who has a
name, and being, outside of trashy
novels, lives in Danbury. The parents
of the young lady are opposed to this
championship, but it don't make him
proud. Sometimes the old gentleman
reaches him with his boot before he
can get over the fence, but the young
man doesn't lay up ill-feeling on ac-
count of that; he only smiles at the
despoiler Of his pants when he meets
him, aud calls it "heaping Goals of
fire on his head" Saturday evening
he thought he would get up surprise
for the old chap. He put paving
stone in each of his coat tail pockets,
and started for the fence as usual. The
old man let out for him with increased
enthusiasm, and caught him-caught
him good. Then he laid down on the
grass and said-"I die by the hand of
an assassin" But the young man
passed on without word, and smiled
the most heavenly smile of forgiveness
ever seen of that street.
Everybody should learn to swim.
Swimming is an accomplishment which
all persons, male and female, should,
if possible, acquire. There is no tell.
ing when or where it may be brought
into practical use for saving of life,
while, as source Of healthfui and de-
lightful recreation, it holds a front
rank. 1t is healthful sign to note
the fact that fresh water bathing by
ladies is becoming every year more
in vogue. A few years ago any other
than saltwater bathing was not to be
thought of, but now ladies find that
there is just as little impropriety in
putting on their bathing dresses and
taking bath in river or creek, as
in the surf at Cape My or Long
Branch.
A Paris correspondent relates a
story which may be taken as an illus
tration Of sublime impudence. He
states that a gentleman walking with
his little boy on the banks of the riv-
er, the child slipped over the bank in
to the water, and would certainly have
been drowned but for the lage of a
man who was fishing, who jumped in
and saved the boy. The father thank
ed him cordially, but asked him if he
would add to the obligation, as he was
already wet through, by swimming for
the boys cap.
A farmers wife in speaking of the
smartness, aptness and intelligence of
her son, said: "He can read huently
in any part Of the Bible, repeat the
whole cateehism ana weed onions as
we'll as his father" "Yes, mother"
added the young hopeful, "and yester-
day l licked Ned Rawson, throwed the
cat into the well, and stole old Hick-
ley's gimlet."
Two women, an infant, and a bottle
milk caused a great commotion on the
Jacksonville train at Columbus, In
diana, two days since, by the accident
al loss of the child's sustenance, which
dropped out Of the car window. The
younger woman pulled the bell-cord,
stopped the train, and sent Il young
man after II.
Two suitors for lady's hand in
Kansas City, not being able to settle
the case by arbitration, repaired to a
graveyard, just after daylight on the
Fourth, and pommelled each other af-
ter the rules Of the London prize ring.
The lady herself was present, and drove
away with the one whom the referee
declared the winning man. !

The World Peace Jubilee

The construction of the immense Colise- um at Boston IS being carried forward with the greatest possible activity.
 We gather from authentic sources few of the prominent details of this gigantic enterprise.
 The building will be 600 feet in length by 400 feet in width, and the area of the roof nearly six acres. The two central towers are 50 by 60 feet, and rise to Q height of 22O feet-the same altitude as Bunker Hill monument. The four corner towers will be 30 feet square and 100 feet high.
 The roof will be supported by p mon- ster trusses. l9 feet thick at the crown. Their clear height will be 1sO feet. The whole number of entrances to the building will. be 26. The grand entrance will be a massive doorway 25 feet wide by 50 high. Over this entrance will be placed colos. sal statue of Peace (not Pease). Some idea of the immense strength of the structure may be gained when we consider that be- side the support derived from the massive towers, the building will be framed inward so that it will be equivalent to a solid wall % feet in thickness.
 : The roof will be 30 constructed as to be equivalent to l6 feet in thickness.
 The most careful and ample considera. tions for the safety and accommodation of auditors and choristers, are contained in the plan of the architect, which is con stantly under going various notifications for additional facilities for observation anG comfort.

DerogatOry to Homo Industry.

An influential and respectable citNen of East Canaan, while on return from Hart ford last week, found himself seated direct ly behind an evil-disposed resident of the aforementioned city, who was spelling for row. After trying in vain to satiate bis desire by provoking quarrel with Con- ductor Eggleston, he turned to the afore- said gentleman, and asked his opinion con- corning his controversy with the conductor An objection was raised to expressing an opinion upon the subject, but finally after being urged and abused for not SO doing, he ventured to remark that he thought that MT. Eggleston's conduct upon the occasion had been that of gentleman, while his had been otherwise. Whereat " old Hart ford " waxed indignant and informed MT. - that for the simple sum of l5O cents, he would kick him as he had never been kicked before. The required amount was immediately handed over and told Hart ford pitched in. We have not ascertain ed whether the said party of the first part performed his part of the contract in 8 good substantial manner, but it is quite evi- dent that the sad party of the second part in common-sense view. was justifiable in the course that he pursued. Casting aside all sensicsl, nonsensical and legalistic views of the transaction, and looking at it. in a political light, Gas all transactions of this nature should be looked at under govern ment that maintains rigid protective tar iff for the promotion and encouragement of home industry,) we think that it is estab- fishing bad precedent. For any man who will so disregard home talent and in dustry, as to pay 8 Hartford kickist l5O cents for the same amount of labor that he could have obtained in his own town for less money, from men who can stand up and kick higher, harder, longer and cheap CT than any other men this side of Mule vile itself, establishes thereby an example which is thoroughly antagonistic to that branch of political economy, which Hor- ace Greeley and maintain to be the foun- dation of all our prosperity and happiness.

Bridgeport has got promising boy-burg- lar. He broke into house few days ago, and to direct suspicion in another quarter, he put on mans pair of boots, raised window that it might appear the entrance had been effected in that way, and dropped note in the hall, purporting to have been written in New York, in which the writer said he would stop at Bridgeport and go through Jones house. The ruse threw the detectives off the track and no knowledge of the thief was obtained until he was arrested in New York on &C., count of his suspicious appearance, when he confessed the whole affair.

Editor Pease of the Salisbury News beamed in upon us on Saturday. He is looking beautiful.-Berkshir Courier.
 That is just the spot Brother Rogers, where we have been aching to get you for a long time. Everybody knows that you are the homliest man on the continent, and everybody else (excepting perhaps few of your readers) knows that we are the hand somest, and it was the principle object of our visit to your sanctum, to so completely charm you with our presence, that after we were gone you would tell your 2,448 read CTS all about it.-SALIsBURY NEWS.
 As for our own looks, we have always managed to get along pretty well in a crowd, and our photograph has not been much sought after by prolific mothers to frighten their refractory offspring into good behaviour. But as for Pesse, we nev- CT thought he was the best looking one in the pod, and we don't think he need to run when the beauty-killer comes around. Yet however lavish Nature may have been with hlm in regard to looks, the above insipid extract from his paper and the fact that he brags about his own beauty, shows that Nature was not remarkably beneficent with him in some other respects.

While penning the above item the idea did not occur to us for 8 moment that Rogers was 30 sensitive on the point under discussion, viz. beauty, and being on the most friendly terms with that gen. tleman, did not for a moment suspect he would be offended at it and call us weak in the upper regions; our article "insipid, Sc., &c.

We seek no controversy with the Courier, for the reason perhops that we are afraid oul weakness would not carry us successfully through the contest, and while we do not choose to belittle ourself by replying to his remarks in the spirit in which they were made, we shall endesvor to re member the hSgh compliment paid us this week, by tho editor of the Berkshire Cou rier, through the columns of his journal.
