Mr.. EDITOR: Having read in your paper

it did not cure me 10 three-fourths Of second
nor in one hour or month. but in less than
eight minutes was relieved, and in three
months entirely cured, and have remained so
for over sixteen months. While using the Ca

Before the strong March wind will run,
And leave the heavens blue and brigh,
The sun will shine upon the sea
The moon will light the wood for me.

women Of rank, who were supposed to
be gifted with supernatural powers so
that no bullet could wound them, rode
among the levies, encouraging them to
hight against the English, and how on
almost every battlefield the corpse of a
woman is to be found among the slain.
Sergeant Major Cotton, in his " Voice
from Waterloo" says that there were
many females found among the dead,
and that ali of them wore male attire,
and were known to have been as mar
tlal III their bearing and as courageous
IS the ordinary rank and file. Just at
the moment when Shaw, the Life
guardsman, fell mortallv wounded, "af-.
ter having killed nine of his steelclad
opponents" a French officer, whose
horse had been shot under him, seized
the regimental colors of the Thirty-sec-
ond Foot, which were carried by Lieu
tenant Belcher. A struggle ensued, and
the Frenchman endeavored to draw his
sword, when he was wounded in the
breast by the thrust of a halbert, and
Immediately after was shot dead by a
soldier named Lacey. 1t was in vain
that Major Tooley exclaimed, when it
was too late, ''Save that brave fellow"
and after the battle the generous Major
and Colonel Brown discovered that the
French hussar officer whom Lacey had
shot was an exceedingly handsome

They VIII Meet again.
Portland Transcript.

Some years since a young man who
had worked his way up from subor-
dinate position to one of some honor in
the patent office committed suicide.
He was, it seems, the chief support of
his aged and infrm parents, with whom
he resided; his cares were heavy, his
means were small; the battle of life
proved too strong for him. his mind be-
came affected and bloody razor in the
hand of a CHASTITY corpse was the result.
Kind. polite and apparently cheerful,
his terrible death was shock to the en-
tire Office. Since his death his mother,
crazed by grief, visits the department at
irregular intervals inquiring for her son
and desiring to see him. Newly ap-
pointed employees search in vain for
his name on the list. Years have pass
ed, but still she comes, eluding the
watchfulness of her friends, seeking him
whom on earth she never more will
see again, and when kindly told of his
absence from the building promising
with a patient smile to come again on
the morrow.

THE POOR INDIAN.
Oil Cfty Derrick


Lo, the poor Indian, whose untutored mind
Sees God in clouds or hears him in the wind.
His soul proud Science never taught TO stray
Far as the Solar Walk or Milky Way;
Therefore q scientific abOrgine
Is something which we never hope TO see,
But, seeing, shall Immediately go
And report the same to Blr. Barnum's show,
Which viii prove bigger attraction than
Jenny Lind and the WOGlly horse driven tandem
or the Cardiff Giant transported
On two freight-caTs, with straw intestines
Sticking ont Of his mouth and cars.
Yet simpler Nature to his hope has given,
Behind the cloud-tOp hill, humber heaven
Some safer world IN depth Of woods embraced,
Some happier island in tic watery waste
AS If g SAFER world than this could be,
Where Government IS kind, and Towards flee
From the shadow OF an Indian
AS if the very Old Scratch was after them
With a SeVcn-prOngcd pItch-tOlE,
And. reaching q teiegraph-statOn,
Immediately sent word to the Associated Pres
That they have caught up with the red demons,
And killed seven hundred and fifty Sioux.
Eleven hundred and seycatg-fivc Comanches,
roar thousand Piutes, and untold numbers
OF Crows, CherOkees, and Black Fect-amOng
The slain being SItting-Bul, HOle-in-the-Day,

And all Of their braves and papooscs.

He asks no ANGELS wing, no Seraph's fire:
But fire water is his hearts delight,

or nitro-glyccrine with q stick i'll il.
