DR.. wistar's Balsam of wild Cherry.

The standard remedy for the cure OF
coughs, colds, influenza, bronchitis,
hoarseness, asthma, whooping cough,
Group, sore throat, diphtheria, difficulty
of breathing, quinsy, phthisic, pain in
the side and breast, splitting of blood,
liver complaint, bleeding of the lungs
and all diseases of the throat, lungs and
chest, including even consumption. 1t
seems hardly necessary to dilate at
length upon the virtues of this favorite
remedy for all diseases of the lungs,
throat and chest 1t was introduced to
the public by DIR. Wistar nearly half a
century since, and by the wonderful
cures which it performed, gained an i'm
mediate and enviable reputation, which
to this day it has fully sustained. From
the gulf of the st. Lawrence to the
shores of the Pacific, and in many coun-
tries abroad, there are few villages or
hamlets without living testimonials
to the rapidity and certainty of its cura-
tive effects. The proprietors, mindful
of their responsibility to the afflicted,
exercise the utmost care in the selection
and compromising of the various ingre-
dients of which the BALsAM is composed,
and the sick are assured that the high
standard of excellence on which its pop
ularity is based, will always be main.

John Hancock is a democratic con
gresham from Texas. In many respects
he is said to be an excellent man, that
is for democrat. He is now a candi-
date for U. S. Senator before the Texas
Legislature, but meets with strong oppo-
sition-because he once opposed seces-
sion! 1t appears also that he once re-
fused to take the oath of allegiance to
the jeff Davis confederacy for which he
was expelled from the Texas legislature
in 1861. To make the fight against him
still stronger his opponents have started
story that he once applied for COM
mission in the union army, but he has
disproved this. Through all this time
however, he has stood by the democratic
party, but the democratic party do not
stand by him, and the reasons therefor
do not strike with favor the northern
union democratic ear, as they plainly
see the effect in the northern states, Of
this kind of reconciliation and centen.

ACurious Case.

Ii is that of the abnormal condition
of young woman living in Gates Ave
nue., Brooklyn, N. Y. Her name is moi
given, because "she and her friends are
adverse TO publicity" In 1865, accord
ing to the narrative, when fifteen years
old, she fell from a street ear and was
dragged several blocks, Her head and
body were badly injured, spasms racked
her terribly and the power Of sight
hearing and speech deserted her. Dur
ing nine years thereafter she lay help
less in bed, never opening her eyes; hel
legs became twisted rigidly out of their
natural shape, and her right arm was
doubled under her head. Her left hand
only was capable of movement. No
food could be given to her, and physi'
clans abandoned her to starvation, as
was supposed, yet she lived ON. In 1874
she began to regain her faculties of
hearing and speech, and very recently
that of sight, but is still helpless. Some
of the time she has been in a clairvoyant
state, able to read sealed letters, to dis
Germ her friends unuttered thoughts and
to know things that were happening at
a distance. Latterly she has greatly
imnroved and althou0h she remembers
things prior to her sickness, the years
are blank to her. At dit,
ferent times during the past nine years
of her sickness she has made several
wreaths of wax flowers with her left
hand, most beautifully designed and not
to be excelled by experts Of the art.
This is certainly a curious case, the
truth of which is vouched for by parties
with the unfortunate woman

The question of next governor is be-
ginning to attract some attention on this
side of the state and when the state con-
vention is called, will very likely assume
form, but we trust there is to be no hot
house cultivation of candidates this year.
In late years we have had enough of
that, Let the people carefully consider
and deliberate and they will give us some

about two o'clock, of inflammation of the
bowels. He has been known chiefly for
his great wealth and success as bust

spects. He took much interest in the
fine arts, and perhaps had the best pri-

He took early ground in support of the

age at the time of his death.

ROMANTIC SCENE ON A STEAMSHIP
A scene somewhat amusing and alto
gether extraordinary occurred in con-
nection with the Allen steamer Mora
vian," from Liverpool, England, for
Portland, on the 24th of February.
The steamer was leaving the Mersey
when river gig approached in all haste
and the following events resulted:
I" In the bow of the boat was seen an
aged man, who gesticulated frantically
to those ON board the steamer to stop.
The boat got alongside the steamer, and
in short time two of its occupants
man about 60 years of age, and young
man 22-clambered on board the Mora
Wan. The officers was naturally sur
prised at seeing the steamer boarded in
this unceremonious fashion but MOTTO
ing that the old man was in trouble
they received him courteously, and lis
tened to his tale, which was to the effect
that his wife-a lady of 4S, and the
mother of grown-up children had
eloped with a young man of %; that
they were on board the Moravian en-
route for America; and the deserted
husband and his son, a young man of %,
demanded the captain to send the runa-
ways on shore.
While the captain was explaining that
the law gave no such power, the runa-
way wife happened to pass along the
deck near where the group was discuss
ing the point. She recognized her hus-
band. A fit of repentance seized her.
She at once forgot her new love, and
now only thought of the old. Exclaim-
ing Oh, John, are you here p she en-
braced her husband and kiss him. Her
son, too, she saluted in most affection
ate way. But while these preliminaries
to reconciliation, were going on, the
faithless wife's companion made his APP
pearance on the scene and placidly
wished to know what it was about.
The deserted husband implored his fck-
lie spouse to return to her home in We'd
nesbury. This she consented to do, but
made it sine qua non that the compan-
ion of her fight should be allowed to re-
turn with her. The husband accepted
the terms thus dictated. The master of
the Moravian, seeing that an arrange.
ment had been come to, facilitated the
return to the shore of the troublesome
party who had for time disturbed the
decorum observed on board the steamer
| When the party arrived at the stage
they were jeered by a crowd who had
heard of the strange elopement and the
wonderful reconciliation. The now hap.
Ply party needed not the jibes Of the
bystanders. Wife and husband walked
arm-in arm lovingly along the stage, and
the lover, as if to make atonement fol
his wrong-doing, walked meekly behind
carrying the luggage"
