\ REMARKABLE CAsE.-The most

A REMARKABLE CAsE.-The most re-
markable case of poor seamstress endeavor-
ing to support herself by the needle and fail
in the annual report of the lunatic asylum, at
Utica, just published. In May, 1871, single
woman, thirty years of age, and seaDstress,
was brought to the asylum. 1 seems that at
the age of twenty she was seized with severe
pain in the head, and that for years after she
had severe attacks of illness of various sorts,
and that she had been accustomed to allay
her pain by hypodermic injections of morphia.
At times, she suffered mental, as we'll as
physical disturbance, and she was very cum
ming about procuring aud using morphine,
taking sometimes as much as two drachms
week. When she was brought to the asylum,
she was in an acute maniacal condition, Sleep
less, thin, feeble and violent. Examination
of her body showed scars and spots covering
the whole of it that could be reached by
her hand. She confessed to using NOR
phine for three and half years, much of
the time twice day, making in all about
1000 injections, ard that in making the
injections she inserted the needle perpen-
dicularly to the surface, and often car
ried it to its full length into the tissues.
In August, after she was admitted suf-
fering great pain in the breast and spine,
examination showed an elevated point, which
on passing the hand over it gave pricking
sensation. 1t was cut down and a broken
needle was extracted. The next day another
needle was taken from her breast. From that
time for a month, from one to five needles
were extracted from every part of her body.
In December she died, and up to that time
2S6 needles had been drawn out of her flesh,
nd off 1nafl, IN. 1ov <s,
sues, making in all 300 needles which were
pulled out of this unfortunate needle-book.
Not all of them, however, wore whole, and
most of them must have travelled some dis
lance in the flesh from the place where they
were elected; they varied in size from No.
a to No. II, and one was number / sewing
machine needle. The patient has been known
to purchase at one time ten papers of needles.
She had access to none after she came into
the asylum. so that these sharp things must
have been creeping about in her for years.

Dear Sr-I have heard from very many sources of
the great of VEGETINE in cases of scrofula
rheumatism, Kidney Complaint, Catarrh and other
diseases of kindred nature. make hesitation in
saying that know VEGETINE to be the most reli-
able remedy for Catarrh and General Debility.
My wife has been troubled with Catarrh for many
years, and at times very badly She has thoroughly
tried every supposed remedy that we could hear of
aud with all this she has tor several years been grad
ually growing worse, and the discharge from the
head was excessive and very offensive
She was in this condition when she commenced to
take VEGETINE; could see that she was improv-
ing on the second bottle. She continued taking the
VFGETINE until she had used from twelve to fif-
teen bottles: am now happy in informing you and
the public Gf you chose to make it publchat she is
entirely cured. and VEGETINE accomplished the
cure after nothing else would. Hence feel justified
III saying VEGETINE is the most reliable remedy,
and would advise all suffering humanity to try it, for
l believe It to be good, honest vegetable medicine,
and shall not hesitate to recommend it.
am, &C.. respectfully,
l.. G. CARDELI,

THE long leaders of the New York Herald.
on political topics, are wonderfully effective
in certain way. The other day an old and
esteemed friend found his wayinto the PRESS
editorial rooms. He is good talker but has
the troublesome habit of ending his sentences
with interrogation points which require an
answer, and break in upon ones occupation.
Turning upon che political situation he dis
played the absorbing qualities OF sponge,
We seized the Herald and pointed out to him
the thirteenth two column leader on Caesar
ism, Political Parties, Party Leaders, Move
ments East West and South" Our friend
dropped into it with all the avdity of an army
mule for thistle lunch. His cheerful con-
versation ceased; and when at the end OF ten
minutes, we looked up, his head had fallen
upon his breast and moment alter, he was
snoring with an energy and success that would
remind a veteran of one of the famous artil-
lery duels of the late war. This pleasant diver
sion he doubtless would have continued until
this time ana perhaps to the end of all time,
but at six O'Clock, after violent shaking, he
was aroused, and starting up, exclaimed:
''Where am L? l dreamed that we had pass
ed through dreadful revolution that Grant
was Caesar, and Ben Butler Premier and that
was cutting English hay on the Back Bay
and [ didn't more than half finish that arti-
cle." He left the room soliloquizing about the
resolutions of '9S.

THE Newfoundland correspondent of the
st. John Telegraph says that Cyrus W. Field
OF New York has repaired to that somewhat
cool island for his summer vacation and de-
sirous to combine profit with pleasure, is en-
pleyimg all his energies to perpetuate the ocean
cable monopoly. Newfoundland, it will be
remembered, has the preemptive right under
the charter granted the company to purchase
the cable. This is a very serious bugbear to
the owners of the cables and threatens the
permanency of their monopoly. 1t is asserted
that Mr.. Field is attempting to show the peo-
pie or that island that it is for their interest
to give up this right and accept few spec:al
privileges, such as the reduction of rates for
the island and free cable despatch of hdn-
dred words day. The correspondent saws
that the Newfoundland people have no idea
of yielding their hold of monopoly in which
the interests of America and Europe are in
volved and further states that the government
of the island is determined to use all lust
means to get rid of it,
