One OF these was the new capitol, and
the other the new university building.
The building in which the Reichsrath
now holds It's sessions, is very insigniti-

that of Prague, and which has long been
renowned, especially in the department
OF medicine, has its schools in separate

with one so much his senior, naturally
tended to create the feeling of assump-
tlon and pretensiOn on my part. unless
| was more fortunate than falls to the
common lot in such cases. But in our
last tournament at the bar, just before
his elevation to the bench, where he re-
manned till his own voluntary retire
ment, when my lahors at the bar had
been exchanged tor others of a graver
nature, he acted ''Ir part of Il noble and

his friends who urged him to attend to
the re-argument oi the case, directed
by the Supreme Court, that he could
never have ii better time to retire than
when he had made a drawn game with
the young lion of the North. 1t was
said with no expectation to have it
reach me. He was far too delicate for
anything of that character.
But felt that it was generous and
sincere, and as Junius says, "that it
would wear well. because it was extort-

mainly upon the more serious elements
in his character, which were always pre-
dominant in all his great efforts ut the
bar. But in times of relaxation, and
when no deep sense of responsibility
rested upon him, he was a man of great
geniality and playfulness of character
His witticiSn in the umdertOne of the

REMARKABLE CURE.-AbOut Il wear
ago, little son of Passaic On. ..,)
mechanic while at play drank large
quantity of strong Sulphuric acid, sup
posing ii to he whisky. He instantly
became inSenSibe, and. although the
poison was thrown off from his stomach,
he remained for days in comatose
state from which it was impossible to
arouse him. His stomach could retain
II" food, and, suffering terribly, he lin
geled on till reduced to Il mere skeleton.
The doctors declared that the lining of
the stomach was entirely burned out,
and hence recovery impossible But
DIR. James X. Taylor of Bellevue hospi-
tai reasoned that if. in spite of the
Scaldlng of the stomach by the mixture
of the poison with the gastric Juice, the
pyloric oritice had escaped, starvation
might he overcome.
Ionical treatment was begun by in
lections of limewat flax seed tea and
animal glue. followed by milk. beef tea,
cod-liver oil. and later. iron, the iniec-
tlenS being always at the temperature
of the body. Vomiting ceased entirely,
internal Improvement was decided; and
after Il few weeks. the boy was able to
digest light soups, .jellies, cOrn-starch,
and finally almost any light articles of
food. He is now almost entirely recov-
cred. his stomach seeming as strong as
that of il well child. The Strengthening
treatment seems to have enabled the
system to sustain the undestrOyed parts
of the stomach while the wounds were
healing The dead matter was thrown
off and the sound portions drew togeth-
er over the wounds.

The Turkish name for this city is

with the promise "to him that over

land will write on him the name of
NV God, and the name of the city of

hardly admit of this explanation, and
the name was not given for 1900 years
after the Apocalypse was written. The
coincidence is. nevertheless, interesting.
The message to the church in Phila-

contains the promise, because thou

LEI, THE MORMON ASSASSIN, PREFERS
THE FORMER, AND Is SENTENCED TO
DEATH.
SALT LAKE CITY, October 1O.-At
Beaver, U. T.. to day Judge Boreman
passed sentence upon John ID. Lee for
participation in the Mountain Meadow
massacre of nineteen years ago. In
doing SO, he called attention to the
atrocity of the crime; the inability
heretofore of the authorities to procure
evidence; that the conspiracy to mur-
der was widespread. and that Lee was
finally offered up as sacrifice to the
public indignation. He also remark
ed that others equally guilty might
hereafter expect punishment. The pri'
soner having the right, under the laws
of the Territory, to choose death by
hanging, shooting or beheading, and
having chosen to be shot, he was senten
ed to be shot to death on January
20, 1877.
