WONDERFUL AND EXTRAORDINARY CURE
OF RHEUMATIsM OF TWENTY YEARS STANDING


OF RHEUMATIsh OF TWENTY YEARS STANDING.
Never in my life have had 80 much pleasure in do
ing any thing as in giving this certificate to the
world and hope it may be the cause of thousands
OF my fellow creatures being relieved from that
dire disease rheumatism Ny wife has been afflicted
with 1t Tor twenty years. most of the time suffering
excrucating pains in every part of her body Hav-
ing no appetite whatever she was reduced to al
most skeleton. SO violent were the pains that
she seldom could sleep without taking large doses
of opium. Every joint was swellsd very much, and
her knees, hands, and neck, covered with large
Jumps. She could do no kind of work, the sinews
and muscles being so hard and contracted that her
limbs were drawn together. that she was obliged
to be in bed constantly. In this condition she had
been for twenty years, without ever getting anyre-
lief from every thing she used, until she com
menced the use of II. G. FARRELLS ARABIAN
LINIMENT, the first bottle OF which produced a
great change. She has now used five bottles, and
the swellings have nearly all gone down; pain has
entirely left her; she sleeps well and soundly; is
more feshy than ever she was in her life; has an
excellent appetite, aud spins and sews all day.
BY the use of a few bottles more she mnst be as
well as ever she was. II any one doubts this Won
derful cure, he has only to call at my residence
near Peoria, and learn the circumstance from my
wife's own lips he further inquire of any OF
my neighbors.

why Bishop Foster Believes LA the
Immortality of the Soul.

FAIRpoIyT, n. Y, August 9.--The Rev.
Randolph $. Foster, of Boston. delivered
to-day his second lecture, entitled " Be
yond the Grave" to an immense audience.
He proceeded to speak of the effect upon
the soul of the destruction Of the body at
death, and said +" Suddenly the human
machine stands still. What becomes Of
the man +? We have no personal testimony.
We have seen no man who has gone BE-
rond the grave. II We take the Bible
away, our belief in future life rests upon
an insecure foundation. | find myself u
man. | think, feel, have emotions and
feelings. | will. | am. | know all this.
| think and feel that am 10 live forever.
God has put this idea into me, and will
hold TO it until he takes il from me. He
mace me, and cannot remake myself or
put myself ont Of existence. The proof il
that what has been created abiGea, remains
forever. There is no proof that any ere
atei thing has ever beea abolished or
destroyed. No creature can destroy
itself 1t is true that forms perish,
bnt forms are nothings: they change,
but the substance remains. Ii is
said that as animals p'rish So may men
perish; but l deny ii. The substance of
the body is not destroyed, only the form.
The sonl OF a man Is pare and simple
sQDStAHtts Htitt IL citiHbi lttilSt, au aii-
aiomst can disscct the body, but no an
atonist can dissect the soul Evidence
That mtn was ever aanihilated is chll-
long Il from all men. human soul is
spiritual essence that can think or will. II
Is a growing something; it nnfolds its
power, and in this there il no limit"
He then sketched the growth Of the hr
siaa soul, from babyhool to the prime Of
manhood. aud said there was no limit to
development. which would go on forever.
He said; Would God be SO prodigal and
improyidcnt Is to destroy the grandest Of
all the creatures He has mide--.he human
soul Again. Immortality was inferred
becanse man has an instinct which teaches
il. God created that instinct, ana He will
not mock it. II man ia not immortal, he
may inlict the tlsyone Of the universe aud
imp aeh the Almighty God Of Heaven, and
upon the grounds Of justice. Bat God j.
jest. His vindieation il complete. He
can do better thing by those who love
him than He docs for them in this lie.
He can hereafter put crowns of glory on
their heads. and He will do it. There is
no evidence that death is an everlasting
sleep, but there is cyidenee--not enough,
not fully satisfying that there Is life be-
yond the grave

from the Stock Report of August i5l
We, yesterday, remarked that the prime
question OF the hour was, I" Where is Mrs.
jerks r. Happily, the telegraph this morn
ing answers the question. The lady has
been appointed a detective in the Treasury
Department and assigned to duty at the
New Orleans Castom-house. Ii this news
is true, the appointment is, Of course, Mrs.
jerks reward for the wonderful testimony
she gave before the Potter Committee in
behalf Of Secretary sherman. We don't
like to trust ourselves to say too much
about this, but we think we can venture
the opinion that no more shameless act
thar this has yet disgraced the Treasury
administration, and that 1t will be so re-
gardel by the whole country, we have no
manner of doubt. John Sherman must
have a moral hide as tough as sole leather,
to have so defied public opinion. How
ever, maybe the news requires confirma-
fion.
