Some two months ago resident Of Maple
street, Detroit, named Broef was taken i'll with
some sort Of fever, and for two weeks there was
little hope Of saving his life. He continued to
sink, in spite Of all the physicians could do, and
they finally gave him up, All through his sick
ness the man had continually asked for pickles
and cider, and when he had got 30 low that his
death was considered only question of few
glass Of sweet cider was given him, a spoon
full at a time, and he declared that he felt much
better for it. More was given through the night
In place of medicine, and the next morning the
doctor declared that most favorable changed
had taken place. Some strong pickles were pro-
cured and given him, and he began to call for
Cruel and broth. To be brief, lie is now able to
move around the house, and everybody in the
neighborhood, as we'll as the physician, gives
the cider and pickles the credit Of performing
the cure

Plato sent down to posterity tradition of hii
day that great continent which occupied the
place now covered by the Atlantic Ocean sudden.
ly sunk down out Of sight He further says II
was an Island called Atlantis. On it were king
doms and organized governments, wealth, arts
ard civilization, instantly lost to human sight.
1t is now the opinion Of the leading geologistl
those most advanced in acience-thAt the
American continent appeared when the Atlantic
waters rushed into the enormous cavity or do
preston on the earth's surface now filled by sail
water. The Rocky Mountains were then the
rough bottom Of an ocean which rose with ma
riue plants, shells and other produtos Of an aqua
tic origiu, that are found Abundantly strewI
there, and in fact, all over North and Soutl
America.
Remnants Of Atlantis the submerged continent
are believed by some scientists to be recognized
in the Adriondacks, the White Mountains Of
Maine, and q few other outcroppings belonging
to the outer boundaries Of that deiuged and for
ever lost country. There is no knowing wha
astounding discoveries may yet DO made In com

Perhaps some rnagnAnimous Democrat, who

sion OF 10b9-60, VIII vouchsafe 10 the public In
formation as to what measure the chiefs Of De-
mocracy melted out to Douglas when he demand
cd fair play for the people Of the Territories IN
defiance OF Democratic policy. PerhAps some
Democratic Historian can tell us how Jefferson
Davis, James M. Mason Robert Toombs, James
Green, Louis I. WigfAll, Judah p. Benjamin, and
other Democratic chiefs stood up by the hour
and rained curses upon the head Of the great
Illinoisan, and finally sent him back TO the limbo
OF men who in all times have dared to be wiser
and better than that party. Perhaps some may
remember what became OF Broderick, who refus-
ed to bend the knee az commanded in the rubrio
OF Democracy. Had partisan mAlignity" been
in existence in those days. one might suppose
1t was that monster that accommodated, and
atf emAtized and pursued those professionals
against wrong and outrage 10 their graves. But
that monster is a new creation, and that other
scodrge Of the unfaithful must have been the in
carnate form Of Democratic loving kindness.
