PROF. ALPHONSE KILLER:
DEAR SIR:-For the alienation of human suffer-
ing feel it my duty well pleasure to certify to
the following facts in my own case:
The past spring was sore afflicted with Sciatic
Rheumatism, suffering night after night and all night
without the least CESSATION the most excruciating
pains ever knew. My doctor who practiced in my
family for over thirty years. to my entire satisfac-
tion and In whom still have the utmost confidence
said that ''medicine would do me no good-he could
not help me, time probably would, and in six or
eight weeks it might leave me; in the meantime I
must grin and bear it," But was not disposed to
do so, and in my desperation caught at the first art
Gle, which under the name of Quack or Patent Medi-
cine, any other remedy, promised relief 1t hap
pened that this was the
Diamond Rheumatic Cure.
obtained at No. 3S Hanover street, Boston. The
statements accompanying directions seemed reason
able, and determined to give it fair trial 1 did
So at the same time being without faith in its ell
cacy folio ed the directions. and the results
that on using the third bottle sensible that it
was acting powerfully and favopaby, and before us
ing the fourth bottle my pain had passed away, and
now have occasion to grin with joy that no longer
have to bear them.
Yours respectfully,
VIM. D. PHELPS.
Mr.. Phelps is gentleman well and favorably
known in this community, and for the past 40 years
has been recognized by our shipping merchants as
one of the most successful captains sailing from this
port. This testimony is genuine and speaks more
than volumes could express in favor OF the great
merits of the
DIAMOND
REKE MATIC Gu II E.
This medicine is prepared by a careful, experienced
and conscientious physician, in obedience to the de-
sire of numberless friends in the profession in the
trade and among the people. Every bottle is war
ranted to contain the full strength of the medicine in
its highest state of purity and development and is
superior to any medicine ever compounded for this
terrible complaint.
In simple cases sometimes one or two doses suffice
In the most chronic cases it is to give way by
the of four five bottles. By this efficient and
simple remedy, hundreds ofdollars saved to these
who least afford to throw it away surely it is,
by the purchase of useless prescriptions.
This medicine is for sale at all Druggists through
out the United States and Canada. If it happens
that your druggist hasnot got it in took ask him to
send for it to any of the Wholesale Druggists in Bos-
ton, or to

as she replied: "Dont let that happen again,
William Goodheart."
While stopping over night at farmhouse
in Missouri, a traveller was astonished to see
his hostess walk up to her husband about
every fifteen minutes and box his ears or
give his hair pull. In the morning the
guest, seeing the woman alone, asked an eX-
PLANTATION of her strange conduct, and her
reply was: "You see, stranger, me and the
old man has been fightin' for ten years to
see who shall boss this 'ere ranch, and have
jest got him cowed; but if should let up on
him for day he would turn me again,
and my work would all 60 for nothin'. "
A candidate at recent examination in
Paris gave an answer to the first question adj
dressed to him which deserves to rank with
that of youth who, being requested by the
examiners in divinity at Oxford to enumerate
the major and minor prophets, declined to
make invidious distinctions, "Come, sir"
said the French examiner, in an encouraging
tone, to the unpromising-looking subject,
who came forward to his turn, ''obge me
by telling me all you know of Louis XVI"
''Sir," replied the young man, with modest
yet dignified air, 81 never make any individ-
ual the subject Of idle gossip"
The other day Detroit mother pc ured
some ink on the pantry shelf near the sugar
box and went up stairs, leaving her small son
playing with the cat. When she came down
the boy sat by the window wearing a placid,
innocent look, but there were ink stains on
his fingers.
eThere! you've been at the sugarp she
exclaimed as she seized him by the collar.
"Mother, do you think I'd steal sugar?"
''What made 'em?"
''Those stains, mother?"
''Yes, those stains"
swell, I cannot tell bold lie, mother. I
think I've commenced to mortify."
She wasn't quite sure, and he was allowed
to 60 out and play circus.

order and decorum, and for the maintenance
Of their responsibility in the eyes Of the pub
lie, we hope our good Representatives will do
themselves the justice of choosing as Speaker
one Of their most worthy and most capable
colleagues.
The House, likewise, needs an experienced,
capable, honest chief clerk, who will exercise
good judgment and energy in the transaction
Of business. Next to the Speaker the comfort
and success Of the body will depend in great
degree upon their clerk and his assistants.
Any veteran legislator knows that it is not
easy to find chief clerk with all the requisite
qualifications. It is the lust of all offices to
be bestowed as a reward tor partisan services
The clerk should have no favorites among the
members, but treat all with equal considera-
ton and attention.
A capable sergeant-at-a-ms will also be
needed to carry out the orders of the Speaker,
to secure the members from intrusions, to
provide for their comfortable accommodation,
to preserve silence and decorum among spec.
tators and to preserve the papers, books and
stationery Of the members and officers Like
the Speaker and clerk, this officer should
have good administrative ability.
With these three officers we'll chosen, a
House consisting Of gentlemen will go through
the work Of its daily sessions with order,
comfort, dignity and success; without each of
them much inconvenience will DO suffered
ard much precious time wasted.
