Sankey's Instant Relief.

The Troy Budget makes the revelation
that few years ago, Mr.. Ira D. Sankey was
peddling liniment that he called "Instant
Relief" He travelled with snowy wagon,
and sang songs to his own accompaniment
ON melodeon, thus attracting multitudes.
to whom he sold the preparation.
The writer well remembers the travelling
establishment to which the Budget briefly
refers. The wagon had broad, high box,
was ga~dily covered with red and gold, and
was drawn by six plumed horses. Soon
after nightfall the spirited team would dash
into the most frequented square of city or
village, drawing the vehicle to favorable
spot for the accommodation of a
large audience. Flaring torches were then
lighted and placed in convenient sockets. A
melodeon in the wagon was opened, and Mr..
Sankey (7he Budget says it was certainly he,
and the statement accortls with the writer's
vivid recollection of the man) took his place
behind the instrument. He sang several
current songs, usually sentimental, but some
times comic, playing an accompaniment. BY
that time a dense throng had collected, and
everybody wondered what was meant by the
free entertainment. They found out imme-
diately, for Mr.. sanky, standing at the tail
board of the wagon, delivered harangue on
the wonderful "Insant Relief that he had to
sell. Three assistants took bottles of the
stuff from boxes. and made ready to sell. Mr.
Sankey's address is clearly recollected as hav-
ing, in its delivery, the style of religious
exhortation of the fervid kind. He
spoke of the ills that flesh is heir to, and es-
pecially of the various aches with which
the human body is afflicted. Then, with a

ask anybody to take his word for it; but be

He kept urging the afflicted to; come to the
wagon, much in the manner that the revival

tial bench, until he was successful In getting

slant Relief was of the familiar class of

mediately on being applied. Therefore, hay

Mr.. Sankey was able to convince his hearers
that "1nstant Relief was something that they
could not afford to do without. Sales followed
fast, MIR. Sankey continued his harangue, "a
no sopped the aching spots with the lotion,
while his assistants handed out bottles and
took in ffty-cent shinplasters Whenever
the sales Jagged, and the people began to dis
perse, he sat down at the melodeon and SANG
several songs.
MI. Sankey went through the country with
MS novel establishment, and at times was re-
lnforced by other singers. When he was in
the Hudson river and western Massachusetts
cities young woman sang Duets with him,
and the party included comic singer. The
upshot of this business is not known, but il
certainly had the appearance of prosperity.
Not long afterward Mr.. Sankey sang in q
Chicago revival, in conjunction with Mr.
Moody's work, and subsequently they went
to Great Britain together, where they made
their first great success.

-FOUR attention has lately been called to the
quality of Soap made at the factories of the
Minnesota Soap Company, in st. Paul and Min
neapolis. This company is now manufacturing
immense quantities of all grades of Soaps, and
its goods come into competition with those of
all the leading factories of the country. It is
matter Of much Importance to the trade, Their
fore, to know how the Minnesota products in
this branch compare with other Soaps To
satisfy the public on this point, scientific
test has been made of the ingredients
Of their soaps. The analysis was made by w
NJ. New, analytical chemist for the commissa-
~ department of the U. 8. Army. It shows
that there is less than three per cent. of for
eign matter in the Minnesota Soaps cxamin-
ed by him. This satisfactory test shows that
tne soaps OF the Minnesota Soap Company
ufaetured in the United States, and are far supc-
rior to many of the Eastern goods with which
the western markets are flooded.

Wfal Fate Of the Little Boy Who
Would Not Take Caster. OIL.
Once there was little boy,
His mothers pride, his fathers Joy.
A right good-natured lad was he,
And hale and hearty as could be.
But once upon an autumn day,
Hepushed bis dinner plate away
" cannot eat to-day" he said,
II feel an aching In my head"
His mamma, experimenting harm,
Sent for the doctor in alarm.
The doctor came-"Our little Ned
Ia somewhat sickly, ma'am," he said;
I'm order the disease may foil,
He must imbide some castor OIL"
But Ned declined and shook his head
II hate that hOrrid OF" he said.
In vain his mamma, dear, implored;
In vain his papa ripped and swored.
They couldn't get the oil downlNed-
mo ollfor me-" he firmly said.
so thinner, thinner every day,
He faded quietly away.
No pies, no cakes, no bread, no meat
Did he have appetite to eat.
And all In vain his;parents toll
To make him take the caster OIL
That nostrum that would ease his pain
and make him well and brisk again.
But Ned refused-so naught could save
The child from an untimely grave;
And thinner, thinner, day by day,
He faded like a dream away.
Till one night by the parlor fire
Sat Edward ready to expire.
The draft was strong and flercely drow
And sucked him up the chimney flue.
His poor mamma went nearly wild,
And loud bewailed her foolish child.
But Ned weni sailing here and there,
The sport of currents in the air.
Forever tossed by cruel winds,
No peace. no resting place he finds
And a. he tumbles in the skies
"Oh, give me castor Oil" he cries.
ITO late! Too latew the wind replies.
How often in you trundle bed
Have you, my child, heard foolish Ned
Call down the chimney, hoarse and shrill
In tones that made your hcartstrings thrill
Or on the frosted window pane
Come tapping once and once again?

have started for the United States. In
the event of war with England these
officers will take command OF vessels

ELECTRIC LIGnT.-rhc Brush Dyna
mo Electric Light is the latest candi-
date In the field as an Illuminating
substitute for gas and Kerosene. This
new invention has been tested in san
Francisco and pronounced success. 1t
Is stated that tho power of the light as
contrasted with gas is only comparable
TO that of gas contrastcd with darkness.
An exchange furnishes the following
comparative statement of the cost of it's
manufacture by the Brush Dynamo ma
chine of $4,000 candle power, arranged
to give two separate and distinct lights
each equal to 5000 candles or 400 5-foot
gas burners. and the cost per hour of ON
equal amount of gas light, concentrated
at the same point where the electric
lamps are placed. made with the idea
that special engine of ,0-horse power
Is purchased to run the machine. and
the whole apparatus is in use ten hours
day for three hundred days in the
year.

pounds of coarse slack coal her hour

engine and machine per hour, > cents;

aud machine per hour, 40 cents. To-
tai. l03 cents, Total light by two
lamps. equal to 500 gas-burners burn
ing five feet of gas per hour. This
amount of gas. at IS - per thousand
feet, would cost Sl5 per hour, or over
fourteen times as much as the electric
light. The above comparison may be
made still more favorable for the cleo
trio light in all places where power is
already in use, and the amount needed
To run the light machine can be spared
about live or six actual horse power.
In such cases, the above total of lO3
cents per hour would be reduced to no,
more than % cents per hour. or one
sixtieth part of the cost of all equal
amount OF gas. Electric light is not
only vastly cheaper than any other
artificial light, but it also possesses
these very great advantages That an
equal amount of gas light produces
two hundred times as much carbolic-
acld gas; that the electric light avoids
the dangers due to leaky gas pipes and
nA'ores. causing an unwholesome
atmosphere and danger of fire and
explosion; lastly, the electric light. be-
ing pure white, is the nearest possible
approach to the sunlight. and gives
natural colors to all objects and mate

RESUMPTION IMPOSSIBLE.

The Senate Finance Committee have
recommended a proposition that after
July the greenbacks shall be made a
legal tender for Custom duties. If this
provision carries it will knock the last
remaining bolstering prop from under
gold as a privileged medium, and rem
der the grcenbacks the equal of gold
and silver in all respects in point OF
intrinsic value, and the superior Of those
CONS in point Of convenience. Beng
then at practical premium over metal,
it il morally. certain that they cannot
be all called in at once by Offering the
privilege of exchange. Hence. complete
return to specie circulation will be
rendered in n certain sense, impossible,
allowing that it were desired by the
Government The majority of the
people will be content to continue to
circulate their grcenbacks, and, in fact,
prefer to do so, instead of rushing for
ward to exchange them all at once for
the more cumbersome metal
As for Secretary Sherman's abil-
ity to meet those who want their
coin when the day comes around, next
New Years, he estimates that he will
need TO have in hand, IN order to be
safe, about one hundred and forty mil
lions in gold coin, of which he had
about ninety millions secured, and in
order to get the balance, has offered to
the highest gold coin bidders. fifty mil
lions in bonds For these there is no
lack of takers. So great is the plethora
of cash capital in the hands Of bankers
that there is a brisk competition among
them even for the four per cents. and
leading firms have offered a premium
OF three per cent. tor four and hall
per cents. 1t is clear, therefore. that
the agony of resumption is now already
over. and we may begin to look for.
of redeemed and real currency.
