A MAN WALKS FROM NEWARK, n. j.,
TO NEW YORK.-Some weeks since, man
came into the store, No. Z Sixth avenue,
New York, inquiring for Mr.. Crittenton,
TO whom he was shown. He appeared to
be very much excited, and Immediately
commenced to tell story of how his wife
had suffered from an affection of the lungs
and in fact, had been given up by the
physicians to die. Through some friend
she was induced, as a last resort, to try
HALE's HONEY OF HoREHoUND AND TAR,
and, using here her husbands language,
he said: Before she had used one bottle
she could breathe with more ease; and by
the time she had used six bottles she was
upand around the house, able to do her
own work" The man took the pains TO
come in person and thank the present pro-
prietor of this popular article for a perfect
cure of his wife. HALE'S HONEY OF HoRE-
HOUND AND TAR is for sale by all druggists
at 80 cents and 81, Large size the most
economical. Depot, CRITrENToN S, Z Sixth
avenue, New York City.

Mrs. Darlington says that just before
the late war circumstances were seen
around the moon nightly, shooting stars
perambulated the earth, the desk fthe
sun was covered with black spots of
ink, and comics swept the horizon with
their operatic tales. Everybody said
tina; it profigated war, and sure enough
war did come.

SHOCKING CASE OF TRICuINR "A
Youngstown, Ohio, dispatch says:
"There is great excitement here and
at Girard, FIVE miles northwest, over
the discovery of several cases of trichi-
ne. Six weeks ago Frederick Benk,
sr., laborer at the Girard furnace, kill
ed hog, and from the head and other
rough parts, made what is called 'wurst.
Of this the entire family, numbering
five, ate heartily in its raw state. a
few days afterwards Mrs Frederick
Benk was taken sick, and died on New
Years day, the family physicisn pro-
nounciug the disease typhus fever and
rheumatism. Their two children, Eva
and Frederick Jr., aged respectfully
five and seven years, were taken sick
shortly before their mother died, the
symptoms being the same. Another
physician was called in, and he pronunc-
ed the disease spotted fever. Wednes-
day of last week Dr. Lauterman, of this
city, graduate of the University of
Austria at Vienna, was called. He i'm
mediately declared the disease was tri-
chime, the other physicians ridiculing
his diagnosis. On Sunday Eva died
and was buried. Yesterday DR.. Laut-
erman insisted on reeYamining the pork
in use by the family, and with the naked
eye white bodies were discovered. in the
muscles, while with the aid of the mi
croscope the thread-like worm wound
up spirially, was found in countless
numbers. To-day small portion of
the muscle was taken from an arm of
the dead girl by DIR. Lauterman, and
from calculations made by him, one Gu
bic inch of muscle contains 100000 tri-
chime spirals. The boy Fred was visit
ed by an Enquirer correspondent who
found him lying in bed on his back,
with his arms and legs wonderfully
swollen and drawn out OF shape by the
contraction Of the muscles. On touch
ing the muscles his pain became indie
scribab!e. His physician says death is
almost inevitable. Mrs. Benk, sister OF
Frederick Beuk, ST., who lives with
him, was taken sick to-day. DR.. Lauter-
man says that within twenty-four hours
she will be FRUSTRATED with the terrible
disease. Ernest Benk, of the city, at

WINE CULTURE AND WINE MAKISG.-Mr.
alfred Speer, of PaSsaic, n. j., so long
and favorably known as the wine man OF
New Jersey, expects a larger yield of
grapes this year than usual, and has re-
duced the price of his four year old port
so as to bring it within the reach of the
poorer families who need pure and rich
wine for medicinal purposes. Mr.. Speer'S
mode of fermenting and keeping his wine
differs from the usual methods. This is
the reason why it is so much superior III
quality, but it requires four years manage
mept and changing of temperature in or
der to make such a perfect fine wine as it
is; tn. knowledge of changing TO various
temperatures at different times, and at
the right time, is where he has the advan-
tage of getting so rich wine without
the use of liquor, Large quantities of
Speer's Port Grape wine have been order
ed to South America, and by Europeans.
Physicians recommend it rs superior to
most of the European wines. 1t is dealt
in largely by druggists.-DAILYE EXPRESS.

NATURAL SELECTION.
Investigators of natural science have
demonstrated beyond controversy, that
throughout the animal kingdom the sur
vival of the fittest' is the only law that
vouchsafes thrift and perpetuity. Does
not the same principle govern the conf
mercial prosperity Of man? An inferior
cannot superscde a superior article. BY
reason of superior merit, DR.. Pierce'S
Standard Medicines have outrivaled all
others. Their sale in the United States
alone exceeds one million dollars per an
mum, while the amount exported foots up
TO several hundred thousand more. No
business could grow TO such gigantic pro-
portions and rest upon any other basis
than that OF merit.

is not only superstition but fear and not only
fear but otena bargain II is related by the author
OF the book "Christian Ethics" that astute
merchant OF Paris In the last century, requested the
Deity become u sent partner in his business, and

The Rev. Or. Newman preached on tho subject OF
tho aParabic OF the Pcarl,n taking his text from
Matthew xiii, as, 46-sThe Kingdom Of Heaven Is
like unto merch seeking goodly pearls who,
when hc had found pearl OF great price. went
ana sold all that no had bought It," The divine
tcacner said DR.. Newman. borrowed his illustrations
from ali nature drew his arguments from all history
and constructed his parallels iron tho familiar
incidents OF life 10 him the unsupported
heavens were tho symbols OF faith; tue falling
sparrow taught the lesson OF Providence ana
the mustard seed contained the significance
OF the Kingdom OF Heaven. His parallels arc
not fables. They express what has been what may
the OF nature; tncy arc instinct with
lgious lie, they are tor the common people, who
heard him gladly. Why did the Master select the
pearl rather than any other precious stone to Illus
iratc the prcciousness oil ChristanityY Because OF
all The precious stones tho pearl illustrates more Of
the great facts tho religious lite than any other.
IL Is the handiwork oil God aud suggests the divine
origin OF Chrstianitv Perfect aud beautiful ms God

SO II is with the Gospel to which you add nothing
and from which you can take nothing Butthc pearl

THE PEARL IN HISTORY.
In all ages the pearl mas been sacred TO love nnd
marriage. In the mythoogies OF the past lovers arc
represented being united by string OF pearls by
which Hymen leads them TO tho nupiiai altar. So the
Gospel pearl is the emblem OF tue marriage OF tho
soul TO God. The man IN the parable soi all that he
had to purchase the one pearl Of great price Pnip

you vcntursd TO put NIL your fortune INTO such small
object2n Tho merchant replied. III knew there was
