II. r. STEVENS, Esq: Dear Sir---I
have been badly afflicted with Kidney
Complaint for ten years; have suffered
great pain in my back, hips and side,
with great difficulty in passing urine,
which was often, aud in very small
quantities, frequently accompanied with
blood and excrutiating pain.
| have iaithfully tried most of the
popular remedies recommended for my
complaint; ! have been under the treat
memt of some of the most skillful ply
sicians in Boston, all of whom pro-
nounced my case incurable. This was
my condition when was advised by Il
friend to try the yEGETINE, and | could
see the good effects from the first dose |
took, and from that moment | kept on
improving until | was entirely cured,
taking in all, should think, about six
bottles.
II is indeed valuable medicine and if
Should be afflicted again the same
way, / would give a dollar dose, if |
could not get it without.
Respectfully,

PAIN In THE BACK.

There is no remedy known to medical
science which has proved itself more
valuable in cases of Kidney Complaints
than the VEGETINE. 1t acts directly
upon the secretions, cleanses and puri-
fies the blood, aud restores the whole
system to healthy action.
The following extraordinary cure of
great sufferers, who had been given up
by the best physicians as hopeless cases,
will speak for themselves, and should
challenge the most profound attention
of the medical faculty, as well as of
those who are suffering from Kidney
Complaint.

LUNAcY Is increasing in France out
of all proportion with the growth of
population. Official statistics show
that, in 1851, the total number of
lunatics and idiots there was lin
round figures 10000; five years la
ter we find 60,000; ten years after
ward they numbered no less than
10000; and the latest report shows
that they have increased beyond
100000. This remarkable growth
of madness among the French is at
tributed to various causes, such as
the use of absinth, opium, tobacco,
&c, and to the prevalence of reii-
gious, political and speculative ia
naticism. 1t was increased by the
pilgrimages of few years ago; it
was increased by the war of 1870
with Germany; and the lunacy doc
tors of the Prefecture of Police have
observed that, after every panic at
the Bourse, they had twice as much
work as usual on their hands.

They were using dynamite cart
ridges to clear the channel of the
river of ice at Minneapolis. Several
men were engaged in the work, and
a man named Costello was intrusted
with the duty of lighting the fuses.
He had in the breast pocket of his
coat five quarter-pound cartridges,
prepared with fuses for immediate
use. He had just discharged one,
and it is supposed set his coat on
fire doing it. One of his fellow
workmen called his attention to the
fire, and Costello, appreciating the
danger, attempted to throw his coat
from him. He was moment too
late. He exploded, and enough of
him could not be scraped up to hold
an inquest upon. Dynamite became
SO unpopular as an explosive that the
cleaning out of the ice in the river
had to be abandoned.

CREMATION ON THE BANKS OF THE ARNo,
near Florence, one night in 1870, when the
body of an Indian prince was burned. A
pyre OF wood was erected, and the corpse,
covered with perfumes of all kinds, laid
thereon and consumed before large con-
courss of people. The disagrseable fea-
lures OF such a ceremony were not to be
found in the present invention. A few re-
marks on the system, as being then prac-
tically demonstrated, were made by Pro-
lessons Polli and Clericetti, the inventors.
At the end o. three-q uarters of an hour

marking that the remains OF Mr.. keller
were then reduced to ashes. he added that
they would remain until the following day
in the slrcophagus, at which timo they
would be transferred TO his tomb. The
ass smblage thereupon slowly dispersed,
and the temple of cremation was left in
solitude and silence. Next dsy the sar-

TERRE HAUTE HEIRS.

Up IN THE MILLIoNs-AN ESTATE WORTH

SEVERAL HEIRS IN woo COUNTY.
The Terre Haute Express elevates its
horn because a number OF heirs to a castle
in the air reside In that vicinity: About
four yeas sgo 9, meeting of all the brakes
in the United States was held in New
York to considdr the claims of the family
to the estate of Sir Francis Drake, who
died in England years ago, leaving large
estate, which in the absence OF claimants
reverted to the crown. S.r Francis was
in his life time an admiral in ii. NJ. y,
and was of course the recipient of large
sums of prize money. This, of course,
the government had no right 60. and as it
Is drawing high rate OF interest the pes
ent sum is something over one hundred
and fifty millions. At the New York meet
ing nothing was accomplished, and two
years later a general meeting was held in
Nashville. At this meeting Mrs. Virkina
Shaw, of Marshall, was present as a repre-
sentative oil this branch of the founding.
her maiden name having been Drake, as
was also that OF Mrs. Mary Shaw, mother
of Mr.. Alfonso Shaw, clerk of the Terre
Haute house. The agent
SENT OUT BY THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT,
after having examined each and all of
them, finally told Mrs, Shaw that her
claim was the only plausible one of the
whole. The meeting adjourned, and Mrs.
Shaw nor any of the family said nor
thought no more about 1t until few days
ago, when they received a letter stating
that an agent would be in Marshall in q
few days to see them and make
further examination into the mat
ter. This branch of the family is
Gle sally descended from Sir Francis, there
being some of the old portraits of the fam
lily now. The father of the two ladies,
Mrs. Mary and Mrs. Virginia Shaw, was
Drake who came to Virginia at a very
early day and engaged in mercantile pur-
suits. The descent Is direct. TIL estate
is larger than the Anneke Jams poss s.
sions, and even a portion of it will make
many OF the heirs rich. So far now, how
ever, none but the Shaw family have any
apparent right, no others having so far
been able to establish any claim what
ever. et.ae
