FACTS People are no longer content
with guess work and conjecture They de.
mand the facts. Formerly, if the skilled
and aged mariner stated that there were
ten tathoms OF water below the craft, all ac.
cept ii it a, tru,, while now each person
wants to throw the line over, and see for
himself what the plummct tells. The fam.
lily medicines manufactured by r. V, Pierce,
NJ. d., Buffalo, n. Y, have been thoroughly
tested for many years by the afflicted and
found to possess the merit claimed for
them. His Compound Extract OF Smart.
Weed is unsurpassed in curing dyscntery
Cbloody-tux) and cholera morbuS, while
many physicians prescribe it for the relief
and cure of the painful irregularities pc
culiar to women. His Fayorite Prescrip.
ton is the best tonic and nervine known,
and is endorsed by the first ladies' of the
land In reading the testimonials of
those cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery some wonder how one remedy
can cure 50 many diseases. Suppose the
foot be injured, and you become sick at the
stomach, dzzy-healed, and faint, do
you fancy yourself attacked with three
or four different diseases. And
would it not be an insane physician who
neglected the foot and administered to the
throat or head. So catNrrh bronchitis, con.
sumption, scroiulous sores, ulcers, blotchcs,
pimpeS and crup,ions are universally lie
pendent upon and caused by impure blood
and can only he cured when it is corrected
Is it not, therefore, plain to see why the
Golden Medical Discovery, which is the
standard blood purifier, Alternative and tonic
medicine in the market, effects the speedy
cnrc OF so wide u range of diseases.

EDIsON's ELECTRIC IDEA.

Notwithstanding theoretical objections, it
appears that Edison's idea respecting the
condition Of electric energy-on which de-
ponds the success Of the electric light-has
received the confirmation of some of the pro-
foundest scientists here and in England, who
are beginning to admit that law of nature,
by virtue Of which electric force is lost when
attempted to be transmitted as a force to a
distance, can be overcome by another law
which permits that transmission without a
conversion to heat through which CONVEX
SION the power is lost. DR.. Siemens and Sir
William Thompson, OF England, at the re-
cent meeting of the institute ofcivil engineers
In London, fully sustained the views on
which Edison bases his invention of an
electric light. This expression of views
from sources of such high authority, will
give degree Of confidence in what Mr.. Ed
lson Is doing greater than has hitherto been
accorded. Much of what DR.. Seimens said
was far too technical IN its form TO be
fully ineligible to non-scientists, but it
proved the correctness of Mr. Edison's idea
that one law governing electrical transmits
sion, can be made to counterfeit another law
that has hitherto been considered fatal to the
project of substituting electricity for gas in
domestic lighting. Sir William Thompson
statements were In more popular form, and
the reader interested in the success of Mr..
Edison as great American inventor, will Ia

SPIRITUAILsM is quietly dropping into that
abyss where other isms repose, but oeca-
sionally gives little chirp just to show that
all vigor Is not gone. One of the latest chirps
comes in the shape of communication from
Nathaniel Hawshone, the author of the
House of Seren Gables. That writer, when
in this sphere, was a master Of pure, correct,
forclble and lucid English. The commune
cation be sends from his present sphere is en-
tirely wanting in the style that was one of
his peculiar excellencies. Unless gong to
superior sphere dwarfs talent, and reduces
intellect to imbecility, there is room for pain
full doubt that the medium invented instead
of transmitted, and that is why the inven-
ton is as wanting in intellectual power as
the possible source it came from. Mud IS
mud from whatever light it is thrown.

THE tragedy of the Bear and the Bull, "
so often announced, has not yet been put on
the stage, which is still occupied with the
comedy of that name. John, the bull, Is at
present in great tribulation because Russia,
the bear, has proved that, by the Berlin
treaty, Russia can remain IN the very heart
of Turkey and hold possession of Adriano-
pie, which is the key to Constantinople, until
the Turks agree to definite treaty of peace,
the present one being only provisional. The
English believed they had entirely excluded
Russia, but Beacons6eld and Salisbury blum
dered SO badly at the conference that they
failed to secure this exclusion, and yet were
not aware of the omission. Russia has given
formal notice that she intends to stay, for
the present, in the very place at which
their appearance caused the English to send
their war steamers up the Dardanelles, in
defiance of their own treaty obligations to do
no such thing without Turkeys permission.
John, the bull, is enduring the celebrated
maurais quart dHeUe-miserable quarter of
an hour. There is an odd mixture of the
hardihood that wins with the stupidity that
blunders, about John Bull.
