was impossible to cross. Hal Ham
ed prayed. and an idea came into his
mind. he pIucked a large reed, and
followed it, and placed therein a
hundred pieces of gold, and tied
other reeds to it and foated this
raft upon the stream, and eonfded
in the mercy Of God.
Now it happened that Kodadad,
remembering Hal Hamed's promise,
had gone to his kiosque that day 10
wait for his money. The wind blew
the rain fell. The debtor did not
appear. "We must allow him an
hours grace, for the storm is so
violent" said Kodadad. The muez-
zin chanted the hqlT of noon. The
merchant called to his slave tobring
another pipe. Presently, a bundle
Of reeds came floating amongst the
misty waters; black boy STOPPING
forward seized them as they passed.
He was about to cast them away
again, when the unusual weight pre-
vented him. +Master," said he,
"this is reed of lead" The mer-
chant, who wished to pass the time,
told him to break the reeds. He
did so, and 10! hundred glittering
pieces of gold fell suddenly upon
the pavement of the kios0ue!
The young merchant vas not
withoutIhis reward. His credit was,
in future, unlimited. But not only
so; Kodadad insisted on giving him
his daughter in marriage. And it
will surprise none bnt very matter
of-fact people-to whom we do not
address this legend-that this
daughter turned out to be the same
very imprudent Leilah, whose fasci-
nation had nearly caused Hal Ham
ed to dishonor his verbal promissory
noe. We learn, morever, that she
settled down into a most prudent
and exemplary Wife-WhIeh relieves
our mind-for, except under ex-
tremely Oriental circumstances, we
should not recommend her conduct
for imitation.

''Be wise in time" The
first few hours after an at
tack of Cholera are the pre-
ciOus moments in which, if
the proper remedies are
promptly used, a cure can be
effected in almost every case;
But the old saying that ode
lays are dangerous" is not
more true in any case than
in neglecting to promptly at
tack Cholera when it attacks
you. Now, what everybody
wants is a medicine that they
can rely upon, one in which
they can have perfect conf
dence that should they have
occasion to use it, it viii not
disappOint them. Such a
medicine is the CHOLERA
CORDIAL prepared by @. r.
MCOULLoCH. It has been
thoroughly tested. In 1852,
when the Cholera ragged so
fearfully all through our
country, in Sandusky CITY,
where so many died, it was
the means of saving hun
dreds of lives. A nurse who
was through most of the
Cholera in SandUsky told me
that he never failed to save
a patient with the Cholera
Cordial if taken within three
or four hours of the first at
tack, and thoroughly perse-
Yeredin. A brother who lived
in Sandusky, and made and
sold thousands of bottles,
says of it: "That with cool
ness and presence of mind,
and the Cordial promptly
used, Cholera need no more
be feared" )"
Iprepare the Cordial after
the original formula, and
scores of families in Fremont
can testify TO its reliability
in Cholera Morbus, and
many a case Of Cholera has
been prevented by its timely
use. I feel that the Cholera
is a disease that should not
be trifled with, and that to-
palm off upon the public a
medicine that cannot be re-
lied upon, would be leopard
izing the lives of all who.
used IL, yet L offer this with
confidence, it having been so.

DIR. LIBBEY-
Dear Sir: 1 feel it a duty owe you as well
as the afflicted, to acknowledge the wonderful
cure Won have made in my case. The long
continued sore throat and bronchitis was a
source of great annoyance and alarm to me
for a number of years, but since you prescrib-
ed for me feel no trouble there, and have no
fear of a return OF the complaint. The dispo-
sition was strong to scrofula consumption;-
that. 1 think, entirely changed. My other
difficulties are entirely cured. IfpeOple only
would give your remedies a fair trial, feel
confident you would benefit all you say you
can. Yours truly,

Figures from the Vienna Exposition.
Calculations have fallen far and
wide of the mark at vienna. A cor
respondent of the London Times
says: "Instead of those $4,000 to
100, 900 strangers who had been cal
culated upon, the average ar
rivals has been between 500 and
1000 per day, and instead OF the
one hundred thousand daily visitors
to the exhibition whom Baron
ScWartz had so confidently reckoned
upon when he laid his estimates be-
fore the Committee of the Reichs
rath, there have only been some
favored Sundays on which the num-
Der of visitors reached $4,000 to TO-
600, the average on the half-forin
days being from 10000 to 10000,
while on the forin days, of which
there are still two in a week, it
scarcely attains to half that. Con-
sequently, the total revenues for the
first two months, including season
tickets and the rent for places does
not amount to more than two and
a half millions Of forms, but a small
fraction of the 100000 at which
the cost of the whole exhibition has
been estimated. The gross revenue
for the first two months may seem
out of proportion to the number who
pass the turnstiles, but the number
includes those who passed with free
tickets and tickets atreduced rates
thus only to take q couple of days
at random, you find for instance,
that on the 18th of July 1886 per
sons passed the turnstiles; of those
only 1880 paid the half florin,
7,40O passed with season tickets,
officers and students tickets, the
latter at reduced prices; 1867 with
free tickets, and 4,O49 with work
mems tickets. Again on the 21st

with weekly tickets issued at a re
duction of twenty per cent. and with
students and officers cards, 9,449
with season and free tickets, and

returns show better than anything
else how mistaken the calculation
was which fixed the high prices q

The following heirs of Catharine

both of whom died violent death
in 1852, at Amsterdam, are requested

This advertisement was issued in
consequence Of the discovery of the
murderer of the widow Spelling and
her daughter, and the recovery of
the spoils of his fearful crime, up-
wards of twenty years after it had
been committed.
In July, 1852, the police of Am
sterdam saw on the floor of the house
on Harlem street, where Catharine
Spelling lived with her daughter
Dorothy, a notice to the effect that
the two women had gone to the
country. This notice aroused no
suspicious, but when the old lady
and her daughter did not return for
the lapse of six weeks the police en-
tered it. A fearful sight met their
eyes. The Widow and her daugh-
ter, with their throats cut from ear
to ear, were lying on the floor in an
state of decomposition,
while all the bureaus were riaed of.
their valuables.
1t was ascertained that the MUIR
derer had carried of diamonds, mon
ey and bonds amounting to nearly
one hundred and fifty Thousand dol
lars. Time passed by and the doub-
le murder was almost forgotten, un-
til on the Sd of July last the house
in which the crime had been com
mitted was torn down. between it
and the adjoining house was a space

Thirty.fivo Thousand Dollars for q

Talking with friend the other day, Of
clrraut and expensive entertainments, We
arfeed that the dinner given by Sir Nor

OF the press, In 1865, at DelmoniCO's, had
hardly been exCelled in this city. l re.

that occasion. DelmonicO received carte

eau hardly think oil dcliCacy or dainty
that was not served. There were some
twenty-five kinds OF wine, cordial and
liquor, all OF the very best quality and
highest price. The champagne was re.
markedly fine, aud the Chateau Yonem
then drank was charged 10 the enter.
tainer at $40 per bottle. The dinner was
magnitlcently served, and tho suite oil
rooms was nearly buried in the choicest
flowers. The music was excellent, Clara

of the EpeniH0 RrprSSs, William Cullen
Bryant, of the Epening Post Thurlow
Weed, representing the press generally;
and James Gordon Bennett, of the Herald.
1t Is one Of the very few occasions on which
Bennett surrendered his usual unwill-
ingness TO meet his brother editors, and It
was the last time, If / mistake not, that
he appeared in public. He seemed like a
stranger then. lie held himself GlOof, and
scarcely any one spoke 10 him. Greeley,
