TAKE AND LIVE.

In one of the New England States lives
a family, which in early days bore a very
humble part in life. But, as time adj
vanced fortune favored, until earthly
blessings seemed complete. Though for
the present the name is untold, yet its
influence to do good is the same, and it
gives to theAwOrld wealth and health
One member Of this family was lady
in the early flush of wOmanhood, with a
pure, sweet and tender face, with dark,
glowing eyes, with cOral-tinted lips, with
rosy cheeks and amber curls. She was as
graceful as gazelle, as light-hearted as a
bird, and as spirited as an untamed ante
lope.
But as the frost destroys the fairest
= flower, so does disease the most perfect
woman. Disease, with its greatest malice,
slipped at her life and riOted for her de-
stFuction; and she, who was so'young, so
beautiful, and so full of promise, was
dragged from natures most royal throne
and prostrated, helpless and dying be-
fore the king of terrors, who baff1ed all
skill. Physicians turned away with no
encouraging word, and from their eyes
were read these thoughts: "She soon
must die" But one morning, as death
seemed to be folding her in his icy EN-
brace, and the golden sun was striving
with the puresE light to make the last of
earth appear most beautiful, Ada, slowly
opening her eyes, family and almost
vOicelessly said 20 her brother: "ChaI lie,
I am going to live. Three nights in sue
cessiOn have dreamed that over yOndeF,
near che banks, among the trees, grows
an herb which will destroy this disease
and give me back again myself. i never
saw the herb but in MY dream, but l
would know it now could 1 see it. grow
strong while thinking Of it. Yes! Yes
/ live Take me to it-I can ride. With
out 1t die" Charlie tried to show her
the danger of beiEg moved, and that it
was almost madness for her to think of
riding. Buthe knew that in that room
all efforts to restore her had been in vain ,
and that she was dying there. Her earn
estness filled him with the hope that by
granting her request she might live; and
though death seemed near, yet they
went. Passing along the bank of the
stream, among the trees, suddenly with
one wild cry of joy, she exclaimed,
"There Therel Charlie, there is the LG-
eupiGi" The herb was gathered and a
preparation was made from it, as she was
directed In the dream. Day by day she
partook of this new dreamed of life-giv-
ing power, until after few weeks health
was restored, and nature lived and
cOursed through her veins triumphant.
This remedy is now before the world
and is known only by the name given it
by her who was dying yet living, and
who lived on account of it.

Having been one of Ada's consulting
physicians, and having frequently met
DR.. Ross at her sick bed, can testify that
never in my life have l seen any one so
very sick and reduced to such a low state
of vitality that ever recovered. and 1 am
convinced, beyond all doubt, that had il
not been for her Lacupia she could never
have recovered.
have been so much interested in this
new found medicine that 1 have made re-
peated and extensive chemical exaqnina-
4 TONS of it, and at the same time expert
IcltsssGds-W -WsSn it both in my private and
hospital practice, and am convinced that
it is one of the greatest medicines ever
discovered. 1 should regard it as moth
ing strange If it was soon the only RENE
dy in use. r. E. BECKWTTH,

WHAT ADA's PHYSICIANS SAY.

Being the family phi ysician of Ada's
fathers family, and attending her during
her sickness, had an opportunity of wit
messing the beneficial effects of the La
cupia upon her. Since then have used
1t with great success in my practice. 1t
purities the blood, equalizes the circula-
ttOn, and corrects the functions of the
stomach and liver as well as of the kid
neys, lungs and heart. 1t has a gentle,
stimulating effect upon the system, and
enables it to throw off all the morborOffc
matter in the blood and secretions, and
assist nature in restoring a patient labor
ing under almost any Imaginable form
and character of disease. In fact, l am
almost convinced that it will very soon
be the leading medicine used by the
medical profession, if not the only one.

ST. LOUIS, His, July q. Everything
quiet. The Belleville Guards. bivouacked
in the Market house last night and to- day,
and are using the building as barracks.
Sheriff Weber says be will keep the militia
there as long as necessary to preserve the
peace; judging from the past, as soon as
the troops are removed the troubles will
begin again. Mayor Bowman has taken
the necessary preliminary steps to apply to
the supreme court for the quo scarranto
case recently decided, and viii also ask fer
an order of supersedeas pending the re-
hearing. The Illinois & St. Louis r. r,
Co, applied to Judge Snyder at BelIeville
yesterday afternoon. for an Injunction to
prevent Mayor Bowman ard the city from
Interfering with their track laying, but the
judge refused to hear them to-day. On
the other hand the company is summoned
to appear to-day before Judge Baker to
answer for contempt of court in disregard
ing the injunction against them: Judge
Baker being the one who perpetuated the
original injunction against them. A num-
ber of the ties used yesterday by the COM
pany in the attempted extension of their
track were burned by the citizens, and it
seems Superintendent Sherman and one
or two others engaged in work were some
what beaten and bruised.

closing ceremonies of the exposition sen.
for witness. He found President Grant
surrounded be distinguished gentlemen
among them Gen. Robert Patterson
President Grant proposed he should visit
New Orleans to witness the action Of tbe
returning board; at first he declined, but
the president said number of prominent
gentlemen OF the democratic party had
gone there, and therefore he wanted him
to go; he was merely to 60 to New Orleans
as the locker on, and to see that nothing
improper should occur. Previous
to going be had no conver-
sation with anyone bat President
Grant Gen. Patterson concurred in the

the republican committe replied. we are
here as private citizens with no official
power, We cannot therefore super-
sede or modify any law of that
state, nor have we any right to control or
influence any of its officers as to the man
ner IN which they shall perform ministerial
or judicial duties imposed upon them by
its laws.
Senator Sherman concurred very de-
cldedly 10 the views expressed by the re
publican committee. The visitors of the
opposite sides mingled very freely at times.
In answer to a question whether the re-
publican com mittee discussed any question
involving an interference with the official
duties of the returning board, witness said
he never heard any such conversation in
private or at the meetings; if anyone of
the delegation had attempted such thing
1t would have been treacherous to his asso-
ciates as well as violation or duty.
Kelly said he never heard of anv sug-
gestion to manipulate the parishes for anv
purposes, nor dld he ever hear afTilavits
we're signed with names of fictitious per~
sons; did not know of Sherman having
conversation with Weber and Anderson.
