DIR. R. v PIERCE, Buffalo, N. Y:
Dear Sir-Your medicines, Golden Medical Dis
cOvery, DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, have proved of
the greatest service to me. Six months ago no one
thought that could possibly live long 1 had COM
pcation of diseases-scrofula maniesting itself in
eruptions and great blotches on my head that made
such sores that could not have my hair combetI
without causing me much suffering; also causing
swollen glands, tonsis enlarged, enlarged or thick
neck" and large and numerous boils 1 also suffered
from terrible Chronic Catarrh, and in tact was SO
diseased that life was burden to me. 1 had tried
many doctors with no benefit l finally procured
one-haf dozen bottles of your Golden Medical Dis
covery and one dozen Sages Catarrh Remedy and
commenced their use. AT first was badly discour-
aged but after taking four bottles of The Discovery
began to improve, and when had taken thearemain-
ing was aoeI. In addition to the use of Discovery
applied solution of Iodine to the Goitre or thick
neck, as you advise in pamphlet wrapping, and it
entirely disappeared Your Discovery is certainly
the most wonderful blood medicine ever invented.
thank God and you, from the depths of my heart for
the great good it has done me.
Very gratefully,
MRS. L. CHAFFEE.

GREAT BRITAIN.
The British Press and winsIow,

LONDON, April 27.-All the London journals
edtorially support the position of the British
government in the Winslow extradition case.
The Manchester Guardians London correspon.
dent, however, says that very strong impress
sion is current that the Crowns legal advisers
have led the government into serious tangle.
The point at issue is whether the act of 1870
sets aside the American treaty rights, and
whether all doubts are not removed IN favor of
the prisoners extradition by clause q of the
act, which specifies that whatever is inconsist.
emit with existing treaties shall be excepted from
its operation. Ia the face of so simple a Cir
cumstance many persons are a good deal puz-
zled to understand upon what grounds the
English government can maintain its position.

All of US remember the courteous
Due de Caislin, who took an equally
courteous Rhinegrave prisoner and
shared his bed with him. aud how the
two polite warriors, TO give each other
the mattress, slipped courteously to
the floor, aud left the bed unoccupied
between them. In due time the
Rhinegrave went to Paris and called
on his captor. There was such pro-
fusion Of compliments on leaving, that
the prisoner ran out and locked the
door outside. The duke jumped out
Of the window, and when the German
got to the gate. there was the duke as
large and polite as life. lie had put
out his thumb by the leap. and called
in the surgeon to set il. Soon after

tient, and fund the cure perfect. As
he was leaving, the duke accompanied
him TO the door, and must open it.
Another contest Of courtesy, but the
duke opens II at lost and-puts out

During the past week. a bittern, a
duck, and four owls have been re-
ceiyed at the laboratory. One Of the
owls is kept alive. He has disposed Of
parts Of several fish, chipmunk, and
a live snake two feet long. The
encounter with the snake was quite
amusing. The owl, on spying him in
a glass case, evinced desire to form u
closer acquaintance, and SO the snake
was placed on the floor Of the labora-
tory. The owl with one fell swoop
came down upon his snakeship, and,
striking its claws into its back, raised
his head to its mouth and instantly
smashed il. Then commenced the
process Of deglutition. The owl pro-
ceeded, to swallow the snakes head first.
and proceeded badly enough, until,
after a minutes struggle, all was
swallowed but two inches Of the tail.
At this point the owl stopped to take
breath, and stood with its eyes slowly
blinking, while the two inches Of tail,
still visible, was wiggling vigorously.
At last. summoning up courage, the
owl gave last struggle and the end OF
che tail disappeared, still wiggling
down his throat. Cornell Era.
