LEPROsY IN New YORK. Just
now there are three cases of genuine
leproSy at the Charity Hospital,
BlackWelPs Island, n. Y, the one of
most interest being that of Abraham
Brown, 40 years of age, a native of
New York. The victim was stricken
only last April, and admitted to the
hospital in June. The progress of the
malady has been viruient and rapid,
commencing, as usual, with thicken-
ing Of the skin in spots, with loss Of
local sen5ibiity. Accompanying this
came a strange debility and lassitude,
with occasional eXaltation of spirits.
The disease has now attacked the
solid tissue Of the bones, and the
mans hands and feet present a sight
that none would never care to see
twice. Some of the fingers and toes
have already dropped off, while the
rest, ulcerous and lOathsomc, hang
loosely by their rotting and disfgur-
ed joints. The brain remains unaf-
fected, and the victim cOnverses with
intelligence. According to his own
story, Mr.. Brown, who is a gas engi-
neer by profession, emigrated thir-
teen years ago to Santiago de Cuba,
where he was employed in the gas
works for three years. He returned
to New York ten years ago without
Il ve~tige Of the disease that has since
reduced him to living skeleton.
Brown attributes his misfortune to
exposure to the heat of the sun and
the breathing of air loaded with foul
yapors while pursuing his profession
in the West Indies.

From all parts Of the country re-
ports come of the immense sales and
increasing demand for that deserv-
ingly popular Sewing Machine, The
Old and Reliable STANDARD" the
price of which the proprietors wisely
reduced ID $50, including all the at
tachments, and at once secured for
them popularity among the peo-
pie, far beyond that ever yet attain
ed by any other machine at any
price, the consequence of which is,
agents are leaving the old high priced
machines, and seeking territory for
the "STANDARD." Knowing from
experience that with the best goods
at the lowest price they can outsell
all other Machines, where the supe-
ior quality and low price is made
known. This splendid Machine
combines all The improvements Is
far ahead of all Others in beauty and
durability of its work, ease of man
agement, light running and certainty
Of operation, is sensibly made upon
sound principles, with positive work
Ing parts all steel, and can be safely
put down as the very perfection of a
Serviceable Sewing Machine, in
every particular, that will outlast
any Machine, and at price far down
below any other. 1t is thoroughly
warranted for five years. Kept in
orderfree of charge. And sent to any
part of the Country for examination
by the customer before payment of
the bill. We can predict equally as
large a demand for them in this
section as in others. Families desir-
ing the best Machine manufactured

seize the chance should apply for so
desirable an agency. See advertise

A correspondent writes as follows
about the flower Of a well known
plant: II have discovered a reme-
dy for consumption. 1t has cured a
number of cases after they had COM
menced bleeding at lungs and
the hectic flush was already upon
the cheek. After trying this remedy
to NY own satisfaction, | haye
thought philanthrophy required that
| should let it be known to the world.
1t is common mullen, stepped strong
ly and sweetened with coffee sugar,
and drink freely. Young and old
plants are good, dried in the shade
and kept ii, clean bags. The medi-
cine must be continued from three
to SIX months according to the nature
of the disease. 1t is very good for
the blood vessels also. 1t Itstrengthens
andlbuilds up the system instead of
taking away the strength. 1t makes
good blood and takes inflammation
away from the lungs. 1t is the wish
OF the writer that every periodical in
the United States Canada and Eu-
rope should publish this receipt for
the benefit of the human family.
Lay this up and keep it in the house
ready for use.

Boston has an interesting family
father, mother and ten-year-old
daughter-that lives in a great man
sion without servant, only having
a woman come from time to time to
do the heavy houseWork. For years
the inmates have lived on fruit and
vegetables only. The child is kept
in a glass case, her play-room, study
and nursery all being at the top of
the house, where the walls and roof
are of glass, the continual sun bath
being considered necessary to the
child's physical and moral health and
Well-heing. The mother, formerly a
normal school teacher and a great
student, is the chiId's teacher, and
with the exception of her daily airing
in the handsome grounds of the
place, the little girl never goes out
and rarely does she see another child.

The cotton strike in Englard d is
one of the most widely extended that
has occurred for some years and the
most hopeless of adjustment. The
operatives of one hun dred and tWen-
ty mills in Lancashire have struck
and the strike is still spreading. The
mill owners have determined on
reduction Of wages and the opera
tiVes insist that they will submit to
no reduction. Both sides are resolute
and announce that no compromise
will be considered. There is little
possibility that the mill owners will
yield. They cannot. Their existence
is at stake. The American manu-
factured cottUnS have appeared in
the English markets cheaper and
better than the British, and the only
hope for the English milIers is to
make their goods still cheaper. To
dO this wages must be cut down ;and
so it has been determined. To run
the mills at the present wages is to
run them at a loss, and the masters
prefer TO have their mills closed to
operating them at loss. They can
not yield. The operatives say. they
wW not. SO there is the probability
of much suffering in Lancashire dur.
ing the coming winter.

"But when the sun, in all his state,
Illumed the Eastern skies,
She passed through Glory's morning gate,
And walked in Paradise"

Doubtless Mr.. Hill speaks by the
card when he announces this mission
Of the Democracy, a. d we may as
well get ready for the procession.
The nations of the earth will accord
ingly fall out on either side and let
the Democracy lead in the American
Republic by the hand, with Mr.. Ben
Hill as master of ceremonies. Posi-
bly, the Muse of History Will recog-
nize both Mr.. Ben Hill and the red
nosed party that has taken the coun-
try by the hand, and will say "I've
seen this gang before. Eighteen
years ago they took this country by
the hand and undertook to lead it to
glory as Abraham did Isaac, with a
carving-knife and many fagots. But
| thought she was rescued. How is
this >" And Mr.. Ben Hill will petu-
lantly reply. ooh, why call up the
past and revive the animosities of
the war? All that is over, and we
are now happy and united people.
The Democratic party has magnani-
mously forgiven the persons who
stopped the way when we started to
lead the country up to glory in 1861 ,
and has consented to resume its mis-
sion. We have now started out once
more for Glory, and this time pro-
pose to fetch it sure" Then the
herald will proclaim, make way,
everybody! Ben Hill and the Dem
ocracy come this way, leading the
American Republic back to Glory"
And all the world will fall back in
wonderment, and the Muse of His
tory will meditatively remark
"Well, IF that doesn't beat the cipher
dispatches! If that poor girl doesn't
know any bettei. after the exper-
ienec she has had, than to let those
fellows take her by the hand, she de-
serves to go to Glory across lots. -
