SANFORD'S RADICAL CURE.

Is local and constitutional remedy, and is ap-
piled to the nasal passages by installation with Dr.
Sanford's Improved Inhaling Tube, which accom-
panies each bottle, free of charge and internally
or cOnstitutionally where by its action the mo,
cOus coatings of the throat and stomach, it frees
the system from the poison generated by Catarrh
Until this good result is effected permanent cure
can be made. Thus the united action of this rem,
ely is superior to all others or combinations OF
others

~ This is an age of nuisances. Some
body is continually doing something
which makes noise or a smell, or 9TH
erwise interferes with the comfort or
the health of somebody else. Now it is
slaughter house then it is stable
which is maintained, to the great wrath
and Encouragement of the vicinage :;
sOap-boilers and fat-renderers are con-
stantly called upon to show cause why
they should not put out their fires and
transport their business to some other
locality. An analogous case is that of
the bOarder who practices at night upon
wind instruments, banishing the baImy
from every other apartment of the pen
sion. Then there is the man who smokes
and who does so under difficulties, find
ing the number of places where he may
much smaller than the number of places
where he may not blow his cloud. A
chime of bells has recently by court
of justice in Philadelphia been declared
a nuisance and an injunction has been
issued against their further use except
under certain conditions. Especially is
it ordered that they shall not be rung
at O'clock in the morning.

A SINGULAR OAK TREE-A red oak
tree was recently cut upon the farm of
P. w. Jones, in Amherst, N. H., in
which was found stone about d foot
in diameter. The tree was four feet
and three inches in diameter, and SEEM
ed to possess some strange power of
attracting lightning, as Mr.. Jones says
that, to his personal knowledge, the
lightning has struck this tree, or within
twenty-five rods of it, eUery year for the
past t'centy.ttUe. To prevent the cattle
and colts from being killed by the light
ming, which it attracted, it was decided
to cut the tree, and in the center of it.,
nearly two feet from the bark, the
choppers struck the stone, which prov
ed granite quartz, and had become so
firmly embedded in the tree that it
seemed to be part and parcel of the
wood. Judging from the rings which
marked the annual growth the tree was
about us years old. 1t was perfectly
sound, and the heart nearly as hard as
the rock it contained. Many people
have examined the singular tree.

Is Lord Mayo Mad?

All London is now whispering, SIS Lord
Mayo made" The question involves pretty
scandal. Lord Mayo is twenty-Six years old
He Is the son OF the famous Mayo who went
10 India as governor general and was stabbed
one twilight evening by HindOO convict.
The young Lord was fair boy, with q bad
temper, fond of boating, who left school TO
Baker, now Baker Pasha, of the Turkish army
From the Hussars he was transferred to the
Guards. and was known as an attentive, cOur-
teOuS officer He was in the swell clubs. ex-
pert in polo, rode to hounds, handled the rib
bOns Wen. bought brio a-brac and played on
the banjo. He saw enough i'm Abyssinia to
make into hunting book. Suddenly all Lon
don. who had looked upon the young peer as
a man Of promise, was amazed to hear that he
had left town. taking with him the wife of a
friend, also noble lord with one of the oldest
the erring pair. The divorce court relieved
the noble lord from his eccentrics spouse. Mayo
went out Of his regiment, tried to enter the
Austrian service, and by this time would
probably have been pasha under Ghazi Os-
man, like his old colonel, Valentine Baker.
But suddenly comes the news that he is locked
up in an insane asylum. In England the laws
governing insane aSylumS are rigid, but they
do not exist in the Island Of Jersey, where his
lordship IS in duress. SO all Pail Mall is ask
ing. Is Lord Mayo mad:" Pall Mall has its
doubts on the subject. 1t Is very wrong for an
omcer Of the army to run on with some one

enough. 1t made everybody laugh. even
while it interested them profoundly. The sub
stance stance o. j was that ON the day, when the
forged check was passed he was taking photo
graphs between the hours of Il NJ. and 3 +. VI.
Among other pictures he made one of a man
standing in the window of building on the
opposite side of the street. The man that he
photographed was the prisoner at the bar.
Immediately there was a general buzz in the
court loom. Tie prisoners pale face flushed.
and he gaZed upon Dan with look OF Joyful
gratitude.
But tIlera was still a very important ques-
ton TO he settled.
At what time, exactly. was the photograph
taken:"
Dan took the picture and looked at it
closely.
There's the clock on St Luke's church up
in The corner, said he, pointing 10 the place.
and handing the picture to the Judge.

The jury and the counsel now examined the
photographed infinitely. 1t could not be dis
puted: there was the Identical man. and there
fore he was not in the bank at the moment
when the forged check was passed.
The teller was once more placed upon the
stand. He was confused by the evidence he
had heard. and was by no means as positive as
he was before. At last he reluctantly admit
ted that he might he laboring under mistake
And upon that he retired into the crowd with
an appearance of great chagTin.

hands, exclaimed:
