Unlimited Remedial Resources.

People sometimes suppose that DR.. Plerce's
Family Medicines represent the entire ex.
tent OF his resources for curing disease.
This is an error. Experience proved that
while the Golden Medical Discovery, Favorite
Prescription, Pleasant Purgative Pellets,
Compound Extract Of Smart Weed, and DR..
Sages Catarrh Remedy, would, II faithfully
used, cure large variety of chronic com.
plants, there would be here and there case
which, from its severity, or from its compli.
cation with other disorders, would resist
their action. These exceptional cases re-
qulred thorough examination into their
symptoms, to ascertain the exact nature and
extent OF the disease or diseases under which
the patient was laboring, and the use Of spe-
cifc remedies to- meet and overcome the
same. This led to the establishment Of the
Worlds Dispensary. at Buffalo, n Y. with
It's Faculty Of Physicians and Surgeons, each
OF whom is skilled In the treatment Of chron-
lc disorders In general, and those belonging
to his own special department In particular.
10 one Is assigned diseases Of the throat and
lungs TO another, diseases OF the kidneys
and urogenital organs; TO another, diseases Of
the digestive system; TO another, diseases Of
the nervous system; and to another, diseases
OF the eye and ear. Thus the highest degree
OF perfection in medicine and surgery Is at
talned. The establishment OF this Institution
enables the Doctor 10 meet a long-felt want
In the treatment OF the more severe chronic
affections. By careful consideration Of the
symptoms as given In writing, be success
fully treats thousands Of cases ut their
homes. Others visit the Dispensary In per-
son. The amplest resources for the treat
ment OF lingering affections are thus placed
at the disposal Of every patient, and those
on whom the proprietary medicines do not
have the desired effect can procure a more
thorough and efficient course by personal
applleatioE TO the proprietor Of the Worlds
Dispenaary.

How a Seeming Archbishop POmmeled
Cabman.

The following anecdote is related in
the Final Relics of Father PrOut: "The
Marquis of Waterford was driven home
one night very late, or rather very early
in the morning,b by stalwart and swellish-
looking cabman. He occupied at the
time the Archbishop of Armsgh's house
in Charles street, St. James Square, dur
ing his uncle's temporary absence from
town. Jumping from the hanson he was
soon admitted by the hall porter, who had
waited up for him, and whom he ordered
to give the driver half a sovereign and
dismiss him.
"Cabby, so far from being satisfied, ex-
pressed himself abusively to the servant.
Flinging him back the half sovereign, al
though it appeared he had been only
engaged by the Marquis something under
an hour, and in telling him that in offering
him less than a sovereign his master was
anything but a nobleman and a gentle
man. Finally he declared in loud voice
outside the hall door that he should not
think of taking less than sovereign, and
that he'd have it, too, so help him so-and-
so, etc.
"The insolent bully then waited for a
moment or two to see what effect he had
produced inside the house.
"The Marquis, who had just turned into
the morning room off the hall, heard all
that the cabman had said, and, being
rather partial to polishing off bullies in
those days, made up his mind on the spot
to give this particular one prime taste
of his quality. Perceiving his uncle's
House Lords costume hanging up in
the morning-room, he instantly donned
it, three-decker wig, gown, lawn, sleeves
and all, and turned out to the cabman,
who was then recommending his abuse,
and swearing more fiercely than before.
"tHallo, sir cried the Marquis, coming
out before the porch of the great house
and tucking up the lawn sleeves, as we'll
as the tail of the gown for action, lis that
the sort of language to make use Of within
hearing of an archbishop If you're not
off like a shot this moment, you profane
scoundrel, I'll give you the rights of the
church with my clerical knuckles, and
plant such a sermon on your 90 frOntis as
will make you keep a civil tongue in
your mouth for the rest of your lifeP
Moreover, he never thought for a moment
that he had the Marquis to deal with, and
was much tickled at the idea of having a
turnup with an Episcopal swell. Squar-
ing up to his man, he showed fight &C
cordingly. The result was that he was
licked after couple of fair stand-up
rounds, ratified off in Waterford's very
best style, and very much at the cabman's s
expense, as regarded his head and face, in
ali directions, SO much so, that after a
third round had been commenced, which
promised to be even hotter than any Of
the preceding ones, the fellow, who had
been beaten back to the square, turned
and ran around the ratings as fast as his
legs could carry him. When he got back
into Charles steeet he mounted his cab
again and drove of at full gallop, the ter
rible wag of a Marquis still following
him and crying out; Won't you wait for
the half.sovereigni"

Don't HURRY.-Believe in travelling
step by step; do not expect to get rich in
a Jump. Slow and sure is better than
fast and fiimsy. Perseverance by its daily
gain enriches man more than fits and
starts of fortune and speculation. Every
day thread makes skein in year.
Brick by brick houses are Sdilt. We
should creep before we walk, walk before
we run, and run before we ride. In get
ting rich, the more haste the less speed.
Haste trips up its own heels. Don't give
up small business till you see that a
large one will pay you better. Even
crumbs are bread. Better a little furni-
ture than an empty house. In these hard
times, he who can sit on a stone and feed
himself had better not move. From bad
to worse is poor improvement. A crustis
hard fare, but none at all is harder. Don't
jump out of the frying-pan into the fire.
Remember, men have done we'll in very
small shops. A little trade with profit is
better than large fire that burns you.
A great deal Of water may be got from a
small pipe, if the bucket is always there
to catch. Large bears may be caught in
small woods. A sheep may get fat in a
small meadow, and starve in great des-
ert. He who undertakes too much sue
ceeds in but little.

Done Enough for his Country.

An old American Revolutionary SOL
dier was a candidate for Congress, and
his opponent was a young man who ahad
never been to the wars" and it was the
custom Of the old soldier to tell of hard
ships he had endured. Said he: "FeIlow
citizens, l have fought and bled for nv
country. l have helped to whip the Brit
ish and the Indians. / have slept on the
field Of battle with no other covering than
the canopy of heaven. / have walked
over the frozen ground till every footstep
was marked with blood" Just about
this time, one of the voters, who had be-
come greatly interested in his tale of suf-
ferings, walked up to the speaker, wiped
the tears from his eyes with the extremity
Of his coat tail, and interrupted him with,
"Did you say you had fout the British
Ingins9n "Yes, sir" ssDid you say you
had slept on the ground while serving
your country without any kiver7n "Yes, .
replied the speaker, exultingly. "Weil,
then" said the truthful speaker, as he
gave sigh Of pent-up emotion, II guess
I'll vote for t'other fellaw, for I'll be
hanged if you hain't done enough for
your country"

What the Khedive had for Breakfast

The correspondent of the London Daily
Telegraph at Cairo gives the following ac-
count Of breakfast with the Khedive Of
Egypt:
'Great taste was displayed in the dec
oration of the table, have rarely seen
such fruit and exotics even in English
houses-and the ornamental structures In
sugar and sweet pastes, which served as
centre-pieces, were as remarkable for their
size as for the elaborateness of their de-
sign and the richness of their colors. The
servants were not arrayed in the pictur-
esque and frequently very costly costume
worn by the retainers of most wealthy
Egyptian seigneurS, but wore European
liveries of green and gold.
"0f the breakfast itself, which lasted
till three O'Clock, and was composed Of
no less than twenty-five courses, the most
charming and interesting feature to the
foreigners who partook Of 1t was, imag-
inc, that it opened with fresh oysters and
real turtle soup. Respecting one Of the
plats-'ris a Ia KhediCe'-composed of a
peculiarly small and delicate rice stewed
in coRsomme Of calves brains. l cannot
forbear reproducing statement made to
me by my near neighbor at table, one of
the great dignitaries of the Khedive's
court: 4 cordially recommend that rice
to you,' said his Excellency; in the first
place because it is really admirable dish
in the preparation Of which his High
ness chef excels all others; and secondly,
because it is probably the mostexpensive
NETS ever set before anybody since the
days of Hellogabalus. Every grain of that
rice, my dear sir, costs the Khedive a
louis; venture to appraise your con-
sumption Of it at $3.50 a mouthful. That
hook you have just been drinking is not
an absolutely cheap wine; Ismail Pasha
took all he could get Of it at sixty-eight
francs bottle-about fourteen dollars;
but in comparison to his rice he may BE-
considered to have got it for nothing.
That rice is of peculiar sort, grown on
the Khedive's own estates; it is, conse-
quently, the most costly article that ap-
pears upon the Viceregal table,"

More Poisonous Stockings.

A little boy four years old in Utica, is
reported to have been badly poisoned by
stockings dyed brown by the use Of
picric acid. The Observer of Saturday
says: "Last Sunday the little fellow put
on pair of brown woolen stockings.
Yesterday morning he was taken very
i'll. He commenced retching and vomit-
ing, and a yellowish hue commenced
spreading all over his body. When DR..
Tefft was called he was suffering great
pain. DR.. Tefft confesses that sfter an
examination he was unable to see why
the boy should be sick until his eye fell
on the boys brown stockings, when the
thought flashed over him that the news
papers were probably right and that
there was poison in them. He had them
removed at once and found that the boys
legs were fairly yellow. This morning
the stockings were subjected to test.
A piece was cut from one of them and
placed in hot water for q moment. Then
placing it between the teeth very bit
ter taste was perceptible-so bitter that
it irritated the end of the tongue. The
pair of stockings were then placed in
the water. On wringing them the water
became discolored, assuming yellowish
tinge. There is no doubt that the picric
acid-eDed to color the stocking produced
the boys sickness. At one time the
little fellow was very near death, but he
is now recovering. The stockings were
not cheap pair. They were as nicely
made and Of as nice shade as any.
But their effects are dangerous. This
picric acid is not used alone for purely
brown stockings. 1t is also used to dye
striped hose in which that color appears.
But all brown stockings are not poison
Gus. There is one sure test to apply to
detect its presence. Stockings dyed with
It, placed between the teeth and against
the tongue, impart bitter taste which
cannot be mistaken"

How SHE WAS FooLED.-A lady in
this citys says the Marquette Journal,
suspected that her husband was in the
habit of kissing Katie, the cook, and
resolved to detect him in the act. After
watching for days she heard him come in
one evening and quietly pass through
into the kitchen. Now Katy was out
that evening and the kitchen was dark
Burning with jealousy the wife took
some matches in her hand and hastily
placed her shawl over her head, as KATY
sometimes did, entered the kitchen by the
back door, and was almost immediately
seized and embraced in the most ardent
manner. With her heart almost burst
ing with rage and jealousy, the injured
wife prepared to administer terrible
rebuke to her faithless spouse. Tearing
herself from his foul embrace, she struck
match, and stood face to face with
the hired man. Her husband saws his
wife has never treated him so well since
the first month they were married, as
as she has for the past few days.
