RUPTURE---HoW CURED.

Mr.. GEORGE E. EAKIsGs, OF PHILADELPHIA,
WRITES THE FOLLOWING INTERESTING PAR
TIoULARs:
To the Editor of the New York Sun:
E SIR-For several years was afflicted with
rupture and suffered from the use OF trusses.
Casually noticing in your paper a rec0mmend-
alton OF DIR. Sherman OF your city, and about
the same time meeting Mr.. j. w. Ayres, OF
Camden, N. j., who informed that he had been
q victim to rupture and was cured by DIR. Sher-
mans treatment, felt animated aad went
straightway to New York, consulted DR.. Sher-,
man, and had him adapt his remedies TO my
case. 1t was to me happy occurrence, and
shall ever feel grateful to You and Mr.. Ayres
for having directed my attention to DR.. Sher-l
man. as well rs to MIN for the safe and CONS
Portable manner In which he treated my case.
was shadowed, as was trying various trusses
for help with no other result than vexation and
injury. But now being sound again, and real
izing its felicity, feel it my imperative duty.
to add my testimony in favor OF DIR. 6herman'e
remedies, and TO recommend the ruptured to 60
to him with the fullest confidence OF being BEN
Gifted.
Philadelphia, March "A, 1SIa

a RACE WITH THE FLOOD.

A RACE WITH THE FLooD.-An excit-
ing race occurred on th5 Lehigh Valley
Railroad, ten miles above Pittston, be-
tween passenger train and the flood.
The track was flooded axledeep, and the
tide was descending rapidly behind the
train. To go forward was to encounter
unknown danger. To retreat was an
impossibility. The engineer hesitated.
The food was rising. ''Let her go,
said Mr.. Parker, sit is q race for life or
DEATH The excitement among the
passengers was intense as the engineer
sounded his whistle, and the train dashed
splashing through the water at full speed,
the slabs of ice pelting the rear car,
which was considerably smashed. When
the train reached Caxton, three miles
above P1tts1on, the round-house was
flooded, and few minutes before the
telegraph operator had been forced to
abandon the Office to save his life. The
train arrived in Pittston ahead of time

ROsENTHAL's "Elaine," the celebrated

RosENTHAL's elaine, F" the celebrated
painting which was recently stolen in
San Francisco and afterwards recovered,
had its origin in a suggestion of a resi-
dent of that city, who ordered it on the
understanding that it should be executed
for 81 600. Mr.. Rosenthal had fancy
for the subject, and he put more work
on it than was bargained for. When
selling time came he raised bis price to
50, 900. This offer was refused by the
gentlemen who gave the order, and the
painting was then sold for s., 900 to Mrs
Robert O. Johnson, of San Francisco, in
whose possession it now is. Before the
painting left Europe it became generally
known in art circles, and its estimated
value was $4,000 to $12, ,0O0. 1t is now
held at $40, 900. 1t was on exhibition in
an art-gallery when it was stolen. The
thives kept it for reward. It was re-
covered by the detectives at small ex-
penSe.

IT was proposed last summer among
some of his Utica friends that q sum be
raised to be presented to Treasurer
Spinner, in consideration Of his valuable
services, and, as they thought, made
quate compensation. He declined the
compliment IN a short and manly letter.
He then said that, having but three
children, and being able in case of death
to leave $4,000 to each child, which is
as well, if not better, than a large sum,
he had never desired to be rich ''this,
with an honest reputation, he adds, twill
be a legacy that should satisfy my chill
dren." )" These are good, sensible, hon
est words; mark them: ''An honest
reputation" How few of your public
men would not rather have said :. great
reputation, or brilliant reputation, and
let the honesty be an understood factor.

THE unhappy consequences OF a ma
tional administration controlled by the
Democrats of the South, whose leaders
are to day the very men who led in the
Southern revolt and did all in their
power to destroy the nation and bury
the principles upon which our govern
ment is based, no man can forecast.
The possibility of such thing is almost
startling and yet unless the Republi-
can party can regain its ascendancy
throughout the North and obtain an OPP
portunity of establishing its principles
and it's purposes as the groundwork OF
the government, these consequences are
neYitable.-BoStOaa Globe.

A HEROIC YOUNG GIRL.-On Satur-

utes Of human nature were displayed
and heroine of II years closed her
career, having done that which hundreds

great of old" 4 young girl named

er who was playing upon the ice on the

ger runs to pull him ont and is drawn IN
herself. What does she do then! Think
Of herself, No! She calmly tells her
little brother to climb onto her back and
get out. He did 50 and was saved, but,
In doing as she bade him, he pushed her
under the ice, under which she drifted
five or six yards, and of course, when
taken out, was quite dead. What a
noble girl Could any hero whose
name shall live forever IN story do more
than she did? st her age she knew well
the peril, but boldly ventured life and
love and youth to save another. She

and noble spirit, there is mournful
satisfaction III knowing that such heroic
devotion still lives on earth Toronto

SINGULAR STORY OF AKIDNAPPED
BOY.

The New York Witness tell a remark
able story of the adventures of a lad who
was kidnapped, locked up in dark room
imprisoned with savage dog, and left in
& wood at fremont, about twelve miles
above New York all night, The story is
most extraordinary IN many respects. It
may, indeed, appear too strange to be
true; yet there seems TO be 10 good rea-
son for doubling the authenticity of the
particulars relted. The boys name was
George Durham, and his mother resided
IN Broome, and gains her living by sell
ling papers He was, it appears, on his
way to St. Johns school. in Varrick
street, last Tuesday morning, when he
was accosted by a man who had dropped
something at the entrance of an alley in
South Fifth avenue. The man profess
ed himself unable TO stoop, and asked
the lad to pick the article up. On
his proceeding to comply with the re-
quest another man came up from behind
and, suddenly snatching the boy by the
collar, with one hand over his mouth to
prevent him from giving any alarm, car
rled him into rear house, locked him
into an almost empty room on the first
floor, and placed dog in the room to
WAUGH o'oI Hlhu. ALlor tllne large
packing case was produced, into which
the poor frightened lad was placed and
afterward the dog was thrown in, the
two being nailed up together and, later
IN the day, conveyed in a cart from South
Fifth avenue to a wood beyond Harlem
where the child was taken from the box,
placed in a hole in the ground (Which
had been previously preparedD, covered
over with large fagstone, and left there
from about 6 o'clock on Tuesday evening
until some time after day break the fol-
lowing morning, being then released on
his captors aseertaining that the boy had
no rich friends who would be likely to
pay for his ransom in the event of deten-
alton.

The Flow OF IMMIGRArIoN.-The
stream OF immigration to this country
has increased; for the first quarter Of
the year 17,129 passengers landed at
New York This is somewhat larger
number than came during the same per-
iod last year. From the registered en-
tries of destination, it seems that 5000
were going no further than New York !;
4,274 were to locate in the West, and
but 367 had selected the homes in the
new world. Perhaps those who cast
their destines in Dixie, enter that land
of sunshine through Southern ports.
We suspect, however, that the South is
not popular for the people across the
water. There is fear OF yellow fever,
cholera and other diseases. The debts
are heavy, taxation is burden, and it
is not believed that the Southerners
obey the law and respect personal rights,
as the calm, sedate dwellers among the
winter snow banks do.

Ice IN THE LAKE.-The officers of the
steamship Amazon and propeller Depere
report plenty of ice still IN the Lake, and
some of it very heavy. The Amazon
left Grand Haven at 8 P. NJ. Saturday.
When three miles outside she struck a
ponderous ice foe, and ran out upon it
with her bow tully two feet. All efforts
to release her proved unavaiing, and
she was compelled to occupy her uncon-
Portable position until Sunday morning,
when the steamship Minneapolis came
along and pushed the ice from under her
bow. The Amazon arrived here at 6
o'clock last evening, having passed
through over thirty miles of ice while en-
route. Capt. Frazer reports the ice for
mldable IN appearance. but 1t does not
prevent the passage of steam vessels.
The officers Of the propeller Depere
state that they found the ice packed
along the East Shore by the westerly
winds of last week. The Depere arrived
off Ludington at 9 A. NJ. Saturday, but
did not succeed in reaching her dock
until noon. Nine hours were occupied
in making the trip through the ice from
Ludington to Manistee. North of Man
istee the trip was easier, as northeast
wind had begun to drive the ice from the
shore. No landing could be made at
Turner's Pier. The ice bank extended
200 feet outside of the pier, and was
grounded in twenty feet of water, the
outer ridge projecting six feet out of
water. The Depere broke ice in Frank
fort harbor which was fifteen inches
thick, bu1badly yhoney-combed. On her
return trip, the Depere left Ludington at
9 clock last night. At IL o'clock she
encountered floating ice ; got into heavy
ice about midnight, and moved through
it steadily until o'clock this morning,
when open water was again reached.
Capt. Gilman says the main body of
heavy ice is in the middle of the lake.
While at Frankfort large fields OF ice
were in sight to the westward. = Wiscon-
