Died suddenly or Heart disease.

How common Is the announcement
Thousands are suddenly swept into eternity
by this fatal malady. This disease generally
has its origin in impure blood, filed with
irritating, poisonous materials, which, cir
culating through the heart, irritate its deli
cate tissues. Though the irritation may al
first be only slight, producing little palpi'
tation or irregular action, or dull, heavy, OF
sharp darling pains, yet by and by the dis
ease becomes firmly seated, and iniamma'
ton, or hypertrophy, or thickening of the
lining membrane or of the valves, is pro-
duced. How wise to give early attention To
a case of this kind. Unnatural throbbing
or pain in the region of the heart should
admonish one that all is not right, and il you
would preserve IL from further disease, you
must help IL to beat rightly, by the use OF
such a remedy as will remove the cause OF
the trouble. Use DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery before the disease has become toe
seated, and it will, by its great blood purify.

The Canadian Thistle.

What if the Canada thistle, scorned
hacked at, hood up, plowed down, poi
soned, despitefully belabored by mil.
lion tongues aud pens, should, after all,
prove to be, as it were, veritable angel
in disguise, and rise in judgment to prick
in vital parts the army of obtuse hus-
bandmen who failed to recognize its
merits? Yet it may be. 1t is possible
there is more in it and of it than is
dreamed off in our agricultural philoso-
ply. Only little while ago we had the
report that a farmer in New Zealand
had discovered that no crop is better to
prepare the surface for grass than one OF
thistles; that they kill the ferns, clean
the soil, and in three years die out them
selves, leaving the land in the best con-
dition. And now n farmer in Canada
claims that heavy crop of thistles
TUNED under is in point of fact more
valuable than clover to prepare the
ground for wheat.--N. y Tribune.

The Able.BOdied Style Of Dying in
Opera.

Italian opera is the EXTREMIST product
of modern civilization. 1t is not the
highest-God forbid but the produc-
ton oft, the support, and above all, the
enjoyment Of it, shows that those by
whom it is produced, supported and en-
iOyed, have reached q condition of social
efervescence beyond which no people
have yet bloomed or burgeoned-perhaps
beyond which there is hope of fruit of
the socially exquisite sort. 1t is the
most arbitrary, conventional and ex-
travagant form which art has taken, for
the pleasure of those whose pleasure
must be refined luxuries-One which is
PARTLY emotional, and not at all in
tellectual, and of which the height of the
enjoyment is in direct proportion only to
cultivated sensuous refinement and
emotional susceptibility. Regarded in
the light of reason, Italian opera is
monstrous and even ridiculous. Atheist,
it exist at the very periphery of national
conference, hairs breadth beyond which
sends us whirling in fragmentary fashion
into the abyss of unfathomable non
sense.
A reasonable creature, taken i'm stark

house while the business of a high-strung

among whom, perched high, a man beats

A Model Steamboat Accident.

The case of collision Saturday morn
ing on the Chesapeake Bay between the
Norfolk steamer Louisiana and the Char
lesion steamer Falcon, affords most
notable instance of perfect preparation
for accident, and GOODNESS, courage, and
discipline ON the part of the officers and
men. The Louisiana was one of the
largest and swiftcst steamers on the bay.
There were sixty passengers, including
several women and children. The COLI
sion occurred between twelve and one
o'clock at night, and the steamer sunk in
forty minutes While all the passengers
were asleep the steamer which struck the
Louisiana came alongside, and in less
than half an hour from the collision all
the passengers had been transferred, with
their effects and baggage. All movable

A Visit to Lookout Mountain Battle.
Field.

Poking among the crevices with a
walking-cane was a melancholy, one
armed man, who we thought was sol
der, and we wondered if he had come
back, after the battle, to look for the
lacking arm. He seemed so sad-so
thoughtful-and as he stirred away the
fallen leaves with his stick, We wondered
if his memory was not poking around
among the cracks and crevices of the past
to uncover what had once been on that
very spot. And we concluded he was a
good man to interview, and approached
him and said:
"You seem familiar with this place,
SIR"
He took sort of inventory of himself,
as if to see what led me to such sup
position, and replied very quietly:
"No, sir; have never been here be
fore"
"Ah! Some personal interest in the
spot, l suppose? Your regiment, per-
haps, was in the battle %
"No, was never in the army"
"Ah but, all l ell, we ell, my friend
there and / were wondering if you didn't
lose your arm in the battle"
"That arm, SIR" he said twas snaked
in a saw-mill;" and he left me like man
who was terribly bored.
That interview didn't turn out to suit
us, and we thought we would have some
fun with the colored troops. Calling a
mammoth lump of ebony to him, my
friend asked:
"What do you call thisa battle-ground
for?"
"Cause der wuz a fight here sah."
"Who fought?"
"Massa Gen'l Hookah, sab !; an don't

Rev. Mr.. DUDLEY, of Milwaukee, pro-
poses to resign the pastoral charge of his

where pews can be had cheap, and an

LET us CoNsIDER.-Since the intro
duction OF distilled spirits in the Sixteenth
Century, they have been habitually pre-
scribed as remedies. We know that alco-
hol, in all its forms, is pernicious to health.
Rnoacing these things and that under the
system of treatment which includes their
use, the mortality among the sick is, and
ever has been, enormous, is it not worth
while to try the effect of remedy which
combines in their highest excellence the
qualities of Tonic, an Alternative and a
Regulator; contains no mineral bane or
murderous alkaloid or alcoholic poison ;
does it's curative office without pain and
with uniform certainty DIR. WALKERS
VINEGAR BITTERs fulfills all these con-
ditions, and is now affecting the most ex-
traordinary cures, in cases where every
"specifc of the faculty has ignomini-
ously failed. Consider, in view of these
facts, whether any sick person is justified
by reason and common sense in declining
to test the virtues of this undefiled and
irresistible remedy. III

Mr.. f. WOODRUFF, of Grand Rapids,
Mich, has published a pamphlet in which
he says information has been cemmu-
nicated to him in vision, of great
physical changes to take place on the
earth fifteen years hence. He declares
that during twenty-one days, commence
ing January 26, 1889, a new planet will
be formed from belt of matter thrown
off from the sun, and a new moon from a
belt of matter now surrounding the
earth, and that our present moon will
then be pushed further off That the
earth's atmosphere will be purified by the
change, and that sickness from natural
causes will thenceforth be unknown.
The chances are that all of us who can
manage to prolong our existence until
1889, will be in position to live forever.
