The s'Great Eastern was fitted out with
apparatus, which may be likened to an enor-
nous fishing hook and line, and was sent to
the spot where the treasure had been lost
The line was of hemp interviewer with wire.
Twice the cable was seized and brought al
most to the surface. Twice it slipped from
the disappointed fishermen, but the third
time it was secured. it was then united with
the cable on board, which was ''paid out
until the great steamer again reached New
foundland, and second telegraph wire
united the two continents. ~ ,tv
The scene on board as the black line ap-
peared above water was exciting beyond de-
scription. 1t was first taken to the testing
room, and signal intended for Valentia was
sent over it, to prove whether or not it was
perfect throughout its whole length. 1t it
had proved to be imperfect, all the labor
spent upon it would have been lost. The
electricians waited breathlessly for an an
swer. The clerk in the signal--house
at Valentia was drowsy when their
message came, and disbelieved his ears.
Many disinterested people. and even some OF
the promoters of the cable, did not think it
possible to recover a wire that had sunk IN
thousands of fathoms of water. But the
clerk in the little station connected with the
shore-end of the cable of 1865 suddenly
found himself in communication with ves-
sci situated in the middle of the Atlantic
The delay aggravated the anxious watchers
on the ship, and second signal was sent.
How astonished that simple-minded Irish
telegraph operator was Five minutes passed,
and then the answer came. The chief elec-
trican gave loud cheer. which was repeated
by every man on board, from the Captain
down to his servant William II. Rsdeing,

A very simple remedy for weak or sort
eyes is recommended, as follows: Get five
cent cake of elder flowers at the druggists
and steep in one gill of soft water-it must
be stepped in bright tin or earthenware; strain
nicely, and then add three drops laudanum,
bottle it tight, and keep in cool place then
use it as wash, letting some of it get in the
eyes. Follow this, and relief is certain. 1t
the eyes are painful or much sore, make
small soft congresses, wet in the mixture,
and bind over the eyes at night. can war
rant the above as harmless and sure, having
tried it in number of cases where other
skill and remedies had utterly failed. If the
eyes are badly indamed, use it very freely !;
and tea made of elder flowers, and drunk,
would help cleanse the blood. Pure rock
salt and water will strengthen your week
eyes if you bathe them daily in it. would
earnestly advise you to avoid mixtures or
washes containing mineral or other poisons

A Desperate Man to Meet i'm the Dark

AS respectable and respected banker OF
this city was couple of mig hts ago walking
home from the cars, he met haggard and
desperate looking man at a lone corner, and
discovered that he was one OF the former
employees Of the bank, discharged some
months before.
"Well, what do you want?' nervously in
quired the banker.
"Times. SIR said the other in hoarse,

barrel of which glstened ominously in the
moonlight.
"Ye-yes," timidly faltered the banker.

The Attorney General has recently decided
that the old colonial laws are still in force,
they having never been repealed, and one
section of these laws is as follows:
''lf any person shall deny our Savior Jesus
Christ to he the Son Of God, or shall deny
the Holy Trinity, the Father, Son, and Holy
Ghost, or the Godhead of any OF the three
Persons. or the unity of the Godhead, or
shall utter any profane words concerning the
Holy Trinity, or any Of the Persons thereof,
and thereof convicted, he or she shall, for the

The New York Central and Hudson River
Railroad Company have been paying their
men in silver for the last month, and the
Poughkeepsie Eagle on Saturday said !:
"Some of the conductors received as high as
sixty trade dollars each, some fifteen or
twenty dollars in ten cent pieces and quarters,
and the pay car left the Grand Central Depot
yesterday loaded with bags OF silver to be
paid out to laborers along the line between
New York and Albany. The conductors are
already lopsided carrying their silver, and
when they pass through the aisles of the cars
it jingles in their pockets like sleigh bells.

rr.r Song OF THE MKLK.MAID

Turn! turn! for my cheeks they burn
Turn by the vale, my Harry,
Fill. pail! fill. pail!
He's turned by the vale
And there by the stile waits Harry.
Fill, fill!-fll, pal-fll!
For there by the title waits Harry. r
The world may 90 round-the world may stand STILL
But I-can milk and marry.
Oh if we two meath yonder yew
Stood down there now by the water,
know who'd carry me over the ford
As brave as q soldier-prOud as a lOrd.
sWhew! whew."-he's whistlng through
The song of ''The farmers Daughter!
Give down! give down-my crumpled Drown!
He shall not take the road to town.
For I'll meet him beyond the water.
So give down!-gve down-my crumpleo orowh'
And send me to my Harry!
The folk O. towns may have SILK gowns,
But I-can milk and marry!
.sWhew! whew!"-he's whistled through,
NV Harry, my lad my lover!
Set the sun and fall the dew
Hesho! merry world what's to do
That you're smiling over and over
Upon the hill and down in the dale
over the tree-tops,-aong the vale.-
Smiling over and over?
O world, have you ever lover?
You were so dull and cold just now
0 world, have you ever lover?
couldn't see Leaf on the tree,
And now count them-one two, three,
Count them over and over
Leaf from leaf, like lips apart
Like lips apart for a lover
And the hillside beats with my beating heart
And the apple-tree blushed all over
And the May-bough touched me and made me start,
And the wind breathes warm like lover.
Pull, pull and the pail is full,
And miiking's done and over;
Who wouldn't sit here under the tree?
What fair, fair thing green field to see!
With cattle, and sky, and clover!
Brim, brim to the rim. All, me!
I've set my pail on the daises
1t seems so light! Can the sun be set?
The dew must be heavy,-my cheeks are wet!
l could cry to have hurt the dases!
Harry is near! Harry is near!
My heart beats quick as if he were here,
My lips are burning. my cheeks are wet,
He hasn't uttered word as yet,
But the air is astir with his praises
My Harry!-the air is astlr with your praises

II Invariably Cures Coughs, Colds,
Hoorseness. Sore Throat, Asthma, Group,
and other Affections of the Breathing Or-
gans. So.
lis soothing influence upon the 1rrita-
ted lining of the air passages, Is due 10
the fact that its ingredients are the most
eflcacious pulmonic simples known 10
medical botany, the basis OF the article
being the HONEY or the HoREHoUND
PLANT, chemically united with the me
dicinal principle of the ABIEs BALSAMkA,
or Balm of Gilead. There are besides,
five other botanic elements which give
additional efficacy to the first nAheq TWO.
Those who have used it, say that HALE
HONEY Of HoREHoUND AND lar Is not on
ly wonderfully remedial Ill all cases
where the organs of respiration are alltT.-
ed, but also that its action Is unusually
rapid. A few doses frequently serve to
relieve very obstinate cough. IL con-
taips nothing that cen disorder the stom-
ach, a fact that can be alleged with truth
of but few Cough remedies; 1t has an eX-
tremelv agreeable flavor, and Is sold at
figure which enables those of the most
limited means TO avail themselves OF It's
virtues.
1t is simple madness to tritle with
Cough. Irritation of fine Throat, Chest
and Lungs travels rapidly, and what Is
trifing and easily conquera0le dlihcuity
in those organs to-day, may in few weeks
develop into Bronchitis or Consumption,
two diseases which carry more victims to
early graves, than any other in the long
list of bodily disorders.
A Cough may be fifty termed the Pre-
liminary Stage of Consumption, malady
of which IIALE's HONEY OF HoREHoUND
AND TAR is the sureSt known preventive.
Those, therefore, who would arrest the
progress of the destroyer, should delay
not a moment to take this CERTAIN Specific.
CHILDREN derive great benefit from its
SOOTHING properties, when suffering with
the paroXysms of Group and WhOoplnS
Cough. The first named disease is eSpe-
cially destructive among young children,
and this reliable remedy should be kept
on hand in all households. Buy the Large
Packages and economic.
Prices, 80 cts. and 81. per bottle. Sold

1t renders the Cutcle Healthfully Clear
and Smooth, and is the Best Possible Sub
stitute for Expensive Sulphur Baths.

It's an Incompatible Remedy for Bruis-
es, Ulcers, Cuts, and every irritable or
unhealthy condition of the Skin, and is a
most serviceably remedial agent and
source of speedy relief in cases of GOut
and rheumatism.
1t is Il most desirable Disinfectant of
Clothing or Bed Linen, worn and used by
persons suffering from obnoxious and
contagious diseases, and is a Capital Rem
edy and Preventive of them, when used
as an injection. Persons employing it
have no need to take sulphur Baths, or to
resort to Sulphur Springs for bathing pur-
poses.
AS an adjunct of the Toilet, it is far
more desirable than any Cosmetic, since
it does not, like articles of that nature,
CONCEAL CompleXional Blemishes, but RI
MOVES them.
Tan, FreckleS, Pimples, Blotches, and
the like, speedily yield to its clarifying
influence; and it is the very best Soap to
shave with, because it leaves the skin
very smooth and free from the irritation
produced on a sensitive cuticle, by the
application of the razor. 1t also COM
pletely eradicates DANDRUFF.
Housewives declare it to be excellent
for washing Wooden, Linen, Lace, and

best circles of metropolitan and rural So
ciety speak of it in the highest terms.
Testimonials pour in from all quarters
of the Union upon its proprietor, many of
which have been published in the form
of neat pamphlet, procurable of Drug
gistS and Fancy Goods Dealers, the origi-
mails being open to public inspection at his
MEDICINAL WAREHOUSE, No. Sixth Az
ENUE, NEW YORK. The article is more
over indOrsed by the Medical fraternity.
Like most other FAMOUS REMEDIES,
GLENN'S SULPHUR SOAP has been
initiated. Soaps without the smallest
fraction of remedial efficacy have been
and are foiled upon the unsuspecting and
unobservant, as genuine Sulphur Soaps,
possessing properties identical with or
equal TO ihe Great Specific, which their
vendors seekto rival by underhand COM
petition. The public should therefore be
careful to inquire tor GLENN'S Sulphur
Soap by its full name, and see that they
get the real article,
All respectable Druggists, Fancy Goods

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 COM

Standard Medicines have outriyaled all
