Knowing that you are subject to great
amount of suffering that deEcacy on your
part has strong tendency to prolong, and
the longer it is neglected the more you
have to endure and the more difficulty Of
cure your case becomes, as a physician,
who IS daily consulted by scores Of your
sex, desire to say to you, that L am con-
stantly meeting with those who have been
treated for their ailments for months with
out being benefited in the least, until they
have become perfectly discouraged and
have almost made up their minds never to
take another dose Of medicine, nor be
tortured by any further treatment. They
had rather die and have their suferings
ended than to live and suffer us they have
They say they are worn out by suffering
are only made worse by treatment OF
anything more discouragiHg, We certainly
caGuot conceive, and were there no more
successful mode Of treating such difficulties
than that, the principles Of which teach the
reducing and depicting Of the vital forces
Of the system, when the indications dictate
treatment directly the reverse Of the one
adopted for them, their cases would be
deplorable indeed. But lady sufferes, there
is better and far more successful plan Of
treatment for you one more in harmony
with the laws and requirements of your
system. A harsh irritating caustic treat
ment and strong medicines will never cure
YOU If YOU would use rational means,
such as common-sense should dictate to
every intelligent lady, take such medicines
as embody the very best inyigorating tonics
and nervineS, compounded with special
reference to your delicate system. Such d
happy combination you will find in my
FayOrite Prescription which has received
the loudeSt praise from thousands Of yOuI
sex. Those languid tiresome sensations
causing you to feel scarcely able to be on
your feet OF ascend a flight of stairs, that
continual drain that is sapping from your
systems all your former elasticity, and
driving the bloom from your cheeks that
continual strain upon your vital forces that
renders you irritable and fretful, may all
become and subdued by preserving ust
Of that marvellous remedy. Irregularities
and distractions 10 the proper workings Of
your systems are relieved by this mild and
safe means while periodical pains, the
existince of which Is a sure indication Of
serious disease that should not be neglected
readily yield to it, and if its use is kept uI
for a reasonable length Of time the special
cause Of these pains is permanently removed

Report On Potatoes.

Last spring B. X. Blies & Co. Of New
York offered series Of prizes for the best
instances Of success in the production of
three new kinds Of potatoes-the Extra
Early Vermont, Brownell's Beauty and
Compton's Surprise. They were competed
for by hundreds Of fdrmers, living in every
part OF the United States The terms re-
quired that the crops should be raised in
the customary manner, without resort to
any forcing processes or unusual methods
Of MULTIPLICATION, and it was understood that
the competitors were to support their state
ments by affidavit The award of the com
mittee-consisting OF Geo Thurber, F. NJ
Hexamer and T. I. Quinn-has been made
public For the largest quantity of Extra
Early Vermonts raised from one pound of
seed the prize Of S100 was given to Alfred
x. Titus, Of Wilmington, Vermont, whose
product was 15S pounds The next greatest
Weld was reported from Minnesota, and
was G98 pounds. The largest yield Of
Compton's Surprise to the pound Of seed
was by p. c. Wood, Of Esther, Illinois,
900 pounds and the second largest, S74
pounds, by Robert Lewis, Castleton, y Y.
The greatest yield of BrowneIls Beauty
from enc pound of seed was by II. G. Per
son, Pitcairn, New York, who claimed 1Gl8
pounds and the second, S11 pounds, was
by 4. Loveless, White Mills, Pa The
largest quantity of Extra Early Vermont
,ro,, iced to the acre was 4l6k bushels by
D Steex. Hughesyille, Pa. The largest
Weld of Compto,.'$ Surprise to the acre,
100 bushels, was by Hrs NJ. a. Royce,
East Tennessee and the largest crop OF
BrownclI's Beauty, 593! busho.'s was by
4. Rose, Penn Yam, New York. 70, the
crop prize there were few competitors, and
there appears to be great dispropCrtion
between the yields obtained from a small
given quantity of seed and those obtained
by the acre. Many larger crops were pro
duced by persons who did not compete for
the prizes The destruction caused By the
Colorado beetle had an uHfayorable effect
in many localities OF the merits of the
three varieties mentioned, it is said
that the Early Vermont is regarded
as superior for the market and table, aud
IS in fact the earliest and best in cultivation
that the Compton has given satisfaction as
a potato of the highest quality and that
Brownell's Beauty has produced the largest
yield and won the praise of all cultiyators
Prom these data potato-growers of Mon
roe county may be able to draw con
clusions that will be Of service TO them il
their arrangements for next years crop.

How Postage Stamps arc Made.

The process Of manufacturing the little
postage stamps is quite interesting In
printing, steel plates are used, on which
200 stamps are engraved. Two men are
kept at work covering them with the colored
inks and passing them to 4 man and girl,
who are equally busy at printing them with
large rolling hand presses. Three Of these
little squads are employed all the time,
although ten presses can be put into use in
case Of necessity. After the small sheets
of paper upon which the 200 stamps ara
engraved have dried enough they are sent
into another room and guumed. The gum
used for this purpose is a peculiar compost
ton, made Of the powder Of dried potatoes
and other vegetables mixed with water,
which is better than any other material, for
instance, gum arabic, which cracks TIE
paper badly. This paper is also OF
/ peculiar texture, somewhat similar to that
used for bank notcs After having been
again dried, this time on !ittle racks Which
are famed 6y steam power for abuut ea
hour, they are put between sheets q psste
board and pressed in hydraulic presses,
capable of applying a weigh. Of two thou

sheets in half; each sheet Of course, when
cut contains a hundred STAMPS. This IS
done By 2ir wish large psir Ct shears,
cutting by hand being preferred 10 That Of
machinery, which method would destroy
too many stamps Thcy are then passed 10
two other squads, who in IS many opera
tions perforate the sheets between the
stamps. Next they are pressed once more,
and then packed and labelled, and slowed
away in anthcr room, preparatory to being
put in mail bags for d-spatehins to fclfi!i
orders. IF a single stamp is torn, Or in any
way mutiiated, the whole sheet of one nun
drcd are burned About five hundred
thousand are burned every week from this
cause. For the past twenty years not Il
single rheet has been lost, such care has
been taken in counting them. During tic
progress of manufacturing, the sheets are
counted eleven times.

Two Rooms fer Sick People.

\ very important matter Is 20 have two
rooms for sick persons, given up entirely to
their necds-oue to be used only at night
and the other in the daytime Even ifthe
patient is so i'll that he cannot bear his
weight, and must be carried to a bed or
sofa in an adjoining room, or into room
across the hall, it must be done. Expert
ence has taught us that this is Of the great
est assistance in the recovery of either
grown people or children, only by so doing
can you give the invalid the purcst, freshest
air, and the kindest attendance.
A little child was very i'll with fever !;
his room was up stairs bat every day, af-
ter he had been sponged in hot water and
alcohol, and had been rubbed gently with
soft hands, he was wrapped in a thick shawl
and carried in loving arms to an attractive
room down stairs, where sweet flowers and
lovely pictures soothed his senses, and kind
hands ministered to his wants ali the day.
Then a clean, sweet bed whose bedding
had been aired in the sun for hours, awaited
him at night, and SOothcd his limbs to need
ful repose This practice was commenced
at the mothers desire, when the child
was in delirium, taking no notice of any
yhing but the first night proved how bene-
icial it had been, for sleep, tired nature S
sweet restorcr" came TO him, and the next
morning he awoke TO consciousness, and
was highly pleased at the change when he
was carried down stairs, and charmed to
rest by the pure air and pleasant surround
ings. The physician was surprised at the
marvellous dispatch with which his patient
recovered from what he had feared would
prove a fatal attack, and attributed it, IN a
sreat measure, to the restorative powers OF
pure air, we'll summed bedding and change
If rooms When the head of the house
was attacked with severe disease, two rooms
on the ground floor were Immediately given
up for his requirements, and daily the kind
physician lifted the stalwart form in his
arms and carried him across small hall In
to the parlor, where i blazing fire on the
hearth frightened the room, and brilliantly
inted autumn leaves and green vines made
j. bower Of beauty upon which his weary
.y S rejoiced to gaze. Although his re-
covery was declared most doubtful by physi-
clans and friends, yet exceeding care in air
ing the bed and bedding, in keeping the
room sweet with ceppcras, and in feeding
and rubbing him hourly, brought him back
to comparative health, aud gladdened /;
household who sadly shrank from the ever
dreaded presence OF death.-N, l. Times

with instructions to get herself up "nobby,"
as he wanted to take her to ball After
he had given her the money the young
man who was with him took bottle of
champagne out Of his pocket and they made
merry. When this bottle was drank Phil
lips produced another one, and that was
also consumed The men then left and
the girl had not seen them since On these
ample facts the police went to work, but
did not obtain any clew to where the bonds
had come from or where the great bulk of
the stolen money had been placed But
for Sweeney's confession it IS very doubt
full whether either would be found. At
this juncture Sweeney turned States eyi-
dence, and by his confession all the clews
are strung into consective story.
In his confession to Mr.. Hoey Sweeney
stated that he was informed by Haury that
the safe was on the truck and everything
was fright. The next morning Sweeney
went over on the same boat with the wagon
| which contained the safe and waited out
side the freight depot until the wagon had
been unloaded. When IIaury returned he
| jumped into the wagon and in about three
minutes had the safe open and the contents
put into one bag On the way back to New
York they threw the safe overheard. Haury
went to the Office and Sweeney went to his
house, corner of Albany and Washington
streets, where in about half an hour he was
joined by the driver Here they divided
the "swag"
About ten o'clock the same day Sweeney
says he went up to "Mote" Ehrtch house
in Fifty third street, to have the bonds
''straightened," or, in other words, con
verted Enrich keeps one Of the most ia
nous 'fences' in the country, having done
business with some of the most noteG
criminals of the day. Enrich tool
the "crooked stuff bonds CAV,
him about $500 in exchange he alsc
/ bought a diamond valued at sl5G0 anC
some specie, both proceeds Of the robbery
he did not give full value, but told Sweeney
to call again. The next time Sweeney
called he told him he had seen the bond,
advertised, and being a little frightened
he threw them away.
As soon as this statement was made off
GERS were despatched to arrest Enrich, anC
three hours later he WAS brought to head
quarters prisoner. When Sweeney hac
progressed thus far, Mr. Hoey inquired
what had been done with the money, anc
! Sweeney answered that it had been burieI
in z basement in Nassau street that h
had hired little boy to bury it for him
This ended the confession, and in company
with the superintendent and tir. Hocy
! the iuformer set out to look for the boy
who was found without much trouble Tho
! boy conducted the party to the cellar O
! No. 81 Nassau street, where S2G,G65 o
the stolen money was found secretcd under
q stone in the foor. The boy was in tn,
employ Of the gentleman who occupies tho
cellar 1t appears he did not know what

greater than the above total, which shows
